strong Unionist majority in the next
Parliament is assured, people are beginn-
ing to ask what Lord Salisbury, the
Prime Minister, will do with it. Born ro-
bust. will it survive the full natural
term of the Parliamentary session, seven
years? OF course. the Unionists are conf
dent that it will, and their confidence
in its vigorous life for the full term is
built on the solidity of the party when
it was in opposition and the seeming alb
sence of dangerous elements of discord.
The Liberals comfort themselves by re-
verting to the past experiences of Parlia-
ments with great majoritfes, which ma
jorities have always shown 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 cleo
tions thus far held there is strong pos
sibility that the purely Conservative ma
jority will attain such dimensions as will
render that party independent of Mr..
Chamberlain and his allies 1t is a no
torious fact that the genuine Conserva-
tives fear and detest Mr.. Chamberlain.
The old supporters or Lord Salisbury,
whose claims to Office have been over
looked in the formation of the new gov
ernment in favor of Liberal Unionists,
will certainly soon enter into a cabal to
oust the latter if the party shall be able
to act without the support of the Lfber-
al Unionists. Much depends upon the
maintenance ofNlinisterial harmony in the
future programme of the party, which
went into the campaign with no announc-
ed programme except, to use the words
of Lord Salisbury, the programme of dis
solution.
If Mr.. Chamberlain consents to aban-
don every Liberal measure with which
his name is still associated and confines
himself to his recently formulated social
platform, he will be likely to remain
in the Cabinet, but it will be difficult
for him and his. followers to submit to
in sectarian education, which Lord Sal
isbury is credited with intending to pro-
mote.
1t will be still worse for the Liberal
Unionists if the Cabinet should seek to
