FLIRTING WITH IRISH

They dislike the increased whisky
tax in the budget, and are generally
opposed to the dictation of Chan
cellor LlOyd-George.
The ironclad agreement between
Redmond and Premier Asquith is
believed to be such as will keep
absolutely intact the tripartite alli-
ance of the liberals, nationalists
and laborites.
After two weeks of the most eX-
citing voting ever known in an Eng
lish general election, and with the
outcome known to a practical GER
tain in all but one of the seven
constituencies yet to vote, the lib
al-laborite-nationalis ministerial
party Is assured of a majority over
the conservatives of 1872. This ma
jority, while 1l3 less than in the
last parliament, is considered suf-
ficient for all practical purposes,
and will probably insure the carry
ing out of the liberal program with
out serious hitch, until the home
rule measure Is reached, when 1t Is
likely that serious split will oc-
cur, necessitating another general
election. with home rule as the dom
inant issue.
1t is no longer believed to be
question of whether the Irish will
get home rule; the chief concern
now Is "How much home rule will
