London. July 20.-Now that d strong
,r.snist majority in the next parliament
:. assured. people are beginning 10 ask
what Lord Salisbury, the prime minister.
viI do with it. Born robust, win it sur
vys the full natural term of the parlia-
rsrtarv session-seven years? OF course,
tss uuionists are confident that it will, and
,lsr confidence in it's vigorous life for the
flu term is built on the solidity Of the
party when it was in opposition and the
seeming absence of dangerous elements Of
dseord.
The liberals comfort themselves by re-
yertng to the past experience Of parlia-
ments with great majorities, which ma
oritIes have always shown Il tendency to
fall to pieces. They also have special
reason TO anticipate that the present or
coming unionist majority will not prove
an exception to this experience. Judging
from the results Of the elections thus far
held there is a strong probability that
The purely conservative majority win at
tain such dimensions as will render
that party Independent Of Mr.. Cham
berlain and his allies. 1t is a notorious
fact that the genuine conservatives de-
test Mr. Chamberlain. The old supporters
OF Lord Salisbury, whose claims to Office
have been overlooked in the formation
Of the new government in favor OF the
llberal-unionists, will certainly soon en-
ter into q cabal to oust the latter if
tie party shall be able to act without the
support of the hberal-unionists. Much 'le-
pends upon the maintenance of minis
teral harmony in the future programme
OF the party, which went into the cam
paign with no announced programme, e.
cept TO use the words of Lord Salisbury
the programme of dissolution.
Ii Mr.. Chamberlain consents to abandon
every liberal measure with which his
name is still associated and confines him
self to his recently formulated social
platform he will be liAeIy to remain in
the cabinet but it will be difficult for him
and his followers to submit to reaction

riau education, which Lord Salisbury is
credited with intending to promote. 1t

lists il the cabinet should seek to crafty
the internal yearning common to the
whole Conservative party for some re-
turn to protection.
Lord Salisbury has the advantage of
months before he will be obliged TO dis
close his programme. After the swearing
