Joseph Chamberlain, Fighting Joe"
as he used to be called In parliament
about the time he deserted Gladstone,
sprung the trap which caught the Rose
berry ministry. Originally he was
Liberal, battling valiantly against the
Tories under Gladstone, In whose second
cabinet he was president Of the board OF
trade
Chamberlain led the advanced Radical
wing until shortly after the formation OF
Gladstone's third ministry, in which nc
was president of the local government
board, he quarreled with his CHIEF over
home rule and quit the Liberal ranks.
Then he formed tho Liberal Union party,
which he now leads in parliament.
This party, after secoding from the Lib
eral party, on account Of the Irish ques-
ton, formed an alliance with the Con-
scrvatives or Tory party. Chamberlain
aspired to the leadership Of the alliance.
holI h< kala of
the Gladstone and Rosebery governments,
he just now holds in his hands, he seems
to believe, the fate of the Tory govern
ment about to be installed
The Conservatives wanted general
election before taking control of the gov.
ernment, in order to find out just how
strong Chamberlain Is with the people.
Then they could gauge the amount OF
patronage necessary to he given TO him.
They calculate upon capturing lot OF
Liberal Unionist seats, thinking that the
members of the Liberal Unionist party
have been in the Conservative fold so long
many, IL not most, are ready to become
straight-out Tories. IL was just this sort
of test that Chamberlain sought to avoid,
1t is presumed, by overturning the Liberal
government as he did.

third Marquis of Salisbury was born in
$780, and married the daughter of the late
