LONDON July 25.-The practical triumph
of d socialist in the hotly contested election
in the division of Jarrow where the Irish
natonalists presented a candidate for the
avowed purpose of worrying the English
liberals has only accentuated the break
which has occurred between the Camppell-
Bannerman government and his Irish sup
porters. The Irish are of course indignant
over the failure of their dreams III connec-
ton with home rule, the Irish nationalists
utterly repudating the measures proposed
by the present liberal government.
Though in reality opposing candidates
We're nominated by the Irish nationalists

of defeating the liberal, but also for the

gued that such combination, which would
utterly ignore the two great historic par
ties of parliament-the logical successors of
the wings and tories-aud the new party
would make short work not only of the
irish question by passing a satisfactory
nome rule measure, but would also make
short work of the house of lords, which

ton for the house of lords to the nosi
