But the great Unionist party is mark

Balfour's Predicament.

If certain protectioniSt resolutions 10
be submitted by Chamberlain's friends
be adopted by he caucus. BalfouT must
either accept defeat or swallow Cham
berlain's policy in order TO retain the
leadership. In the first instance Balfour
intends by personal appeals 20 wean
the caucus from Characterization, but
il he should fail he will be quite capa-
bic OF turning round and cheerfully
adopting the policy he had just de-
nounced.
The Uniopist party any way. is in a
hopeless condition of disintegration, and
nothing can save IL from virtual oblit-
Grafton at the next election. The scheme
20 keep his ajority together another
year by introducing bill reducing Irish
representation has failed. so now CHIEF
Secretary Long is trying TO impress
Englishmen with the dangerous condl-
ton OF Ireland by prosecuting National
ist members for their political speeches;
but nothing can retrieve Balfour's po-
sitiOn or that of his government. which
has been associated with every form OF
misrnana gament and Incompetence cost
ing the country hundreds OF millions
