SIGET. It is a little mortifying to good Conservatives that the announcement ,of the meeting of tParliament on theS9th of February should folow imneadiletrelV upon lord Randolph Churchill's hot ill-temper at the ceiginal peoPosal to meet at a later date, :I do not stippoi4 tbat Lord Salisbury is as obaequichuis to Lord Randolph as the altered situation seems to suggest. Time was when • Lord Randolph was in the position of dictator. But that is omer now, ancOhis relations with the Ministry are no longer cast in the imperative tooted. What has probobey ;happened has been: aChange of ' intentiOn oh the,part, elf /the Queen. . Long ago, in accordance with habit; t,had been arranged that the RoyaljHoueeholdwa4etd remainat Osborne till the middle of February. The Queen, as was strongly manifest is Jilbilee"dsys, does .not permit her domestic arrangements to be variedeby any public exigency. The inconvenience created by fixing Jubilee day for a Vuesiley instead ei of Mondardid i -not-operate n the slighteet.elegree against the disinceination of the Queemto epend a Sunday in Londe:l44llkb :would have ,been necessitated by holding the festival on the Mozday. For Parliament not to meet before the third ewegls in Felanttary would at the Present criaifi have been a grave scandal which, as Lord Randolph Churchill showed, wOnld have inflicted a considerable injury uporathe Government. But it having Item -eattled thatithe Queen was to stay at Osborne till the Middle efiFtbruary, the meeting of Parliament must be delayed if it, was to have the sanctienerner pies'mace cat the opening of the session; or it the epeningoceurred in the usual courseetheeteremonvhnust tek4iace holm Queen's absence.
