If tory leaders have A GRALN OF COMMON SENSE they will set to work at once to educate the party up to the level of home rule-—a real, genuine measure of home rule.

The only hope of keeping Gladstone out of power, lics in the formation of a coalition between the unionists and tories, but conlitions in England are prover- bially short lived. There is, howeyer, no othier means of safety if Gladstone s to be ousted. "This is the single point on which a thorougl agreenmcnt exists in the unionist’s camp. EANYTHING TO DOWN GLADSTON 1 am therefore convinced that Hartington and his followers will swallow any amount of principle in order to remove their former chief.

As he isa cun- ning, ambitioyg man heis not likely to wreck his prospects absolutely to make Salisbury’s position s CHAMBERLAIN MAY CONTENT IINSELT with promising outside support by a tory or coalition government against the Gladston- inns and Parnellites, because, after hatred for Gladstone, the strongest tie botween the so-called unionists is the fear of a new apveal to the country. Should a coalition govern ment be overthrown parliament would have to be dissolved, and as the tories, warned and encouraged by the election, would be certain to throw over the liberal-unionists, the aliies of Chamberlain and his whig and radical rump would e 4 XTI SHE Then the 1 fry liberal s would certainly follow Goschen and T yan into retirement, and the victory at the polls would rest decisively either with the home rulers or the tories. Chamberlain, Hartington and their followers know this well. ‘Therefore they will go to considerable lensths to main- tain an anti-Gladstonian administration in power. HERE RESTS ANOTHER QUESTION. Will their followers remain true to them is by nomeans cortain, Already I have pr vate information that several e A TaniA Uisl mEaca BT IR Glane stone, Frankly, the elections just concluded have removed many illusions on both sides. Be- fore the event party prophets were convinced either that the magic of Gladstone’s name would sweep everything before it, or that the cry “the union is in danger” would arouse the fanaticism of the British workingmen to such a height that all party considerations would disappear and the tories be triumphantly returned in three constituencies out of four to save the integrity of the em- pire. Nothing of this has happened. THE WORKING CLASSES, as a whole, have supported home rule, and desertions are more due to religious fanatic- ism than enthusiasm for the safety of the empire, It is worthy of remark that the de- were almost wholly confined to shop and members of the wealthy shown clearly by an examination of TUE POPULAL VOTE. One miljion, five hundred thonsand citizens recorded their votes for the tories and liberal- unionists, while 1,400,000 votsd for home rnle. These figul are round numbers. ‘9 unionist majority, therefore, is com- osed of one vote in every twenty-nine—not much of a majority to boast about—and even this majority is almost wholly due to the stato of absolute disorganization in which the liberal p: was thrown by the de- fection of the whigs and Chamberlainite radicals. Noone not accustomed to have actual experience in election work can form an adequate idex of THE 110P 3§ DISORDER in which the liberal party went to the polls, Now, what will be the outcome?

There Is ability that the unionists may split up, as industrial Briin does not like the pros- pect of a jingo poticy divected against Russia, In that case, all would depend on the number prepared to stand or fall with the torles, From this standpoint ANOTIIER DANGER MENACKES the libaral party, The tories, if deserted by the uniouists, may offer home rule as the price of Irish support. Should a new alliance be formed on this basis, the tories and Iri would be strong enough to rule the British empire certainly for seven years in spite of the liberal party, This probable outcome of the situation, however, is not l‘.kul" to be im- mediately realized.

Panrs, July 18,--[New York Herald Cable —Spec |—Tho Paris scason is at its last gasp. The session of tho French chumber has como o « elose. The prin have been expelled and the great fete nation- ala of the 14th of July is over. A monent of leisure has arvived and people ave beginning quietly to take stock, as it were, fa the political situation, disregarding at present the consideration of the mazes and entaugle- ments of possibie international complica- tions and considering chielly home politics. The one question of predunuinant intsrest which arises is, “Uave the chiauces for the stability of the republic beeu dimin. ished or strengthenod, or in any way affected by recont events?

PERMANENCY OF THE REPUBLIC. Just as the wild ecstacy of the yoiung lover, who has for the first time been bidden by his stheart to hope, gives way to a feeling of calm content when he knows himself certain of the actual possession his mistress, so in like mann er the people feel they have the re- public and that there is no dangér of their losing it, and they are satistied Howevér that may be, it IS impossible for an unipreju- d foreighner to live in France and not be nyvinced that the third regublio is at last firt Iy and solidly est ‘l):l-)ll‘\\‘. A GOVERNMENT ERROR. The republic has always been the ideal form of government cherished by the French nation. They will always forgive the repub- lie, because it is the republic, many short- comings, which they would consider an un- pardonable sin in a monarchy. ‘Then, too, it must not be forgotten that the republic has been since fiftcen years in its session, which in this case is more than nine points of the law. No doubt the government e a blun- der in expelling the Comte de Paris and thereby transforming the man, whom his position in France foreed to silence and inac- tion, into an open and avowed pretender to the throne. NO DANGER OF A PRETENDER. On the other hand, by the ill judged publi- cation of the manifesto of the Comte de Paris and the curt, almost insolent tone of the Due d*Aumale’s letter the present inten- tions and desires of the Orleans princes been unmasked and the nation has been fore: warned. Any danger, however, of a_serious attempt ever being made to put the Comte de Paris on the throne of France is so improb- able that it hardly need be considered. The Comtede Paris has, after all, an extremely small following. The nation is at heart re- publican. A few old aristocratic familie: willy itis true, still continue to sulk but their total numbers when added up make but an infinitessimal fraction of the whole people, ONLY A PROTEST VOTE. The 3,500,000 votes, which were thrown last October for the reactionary party and which the monarchists have always persisted n claiming as baving been cast in favor of the re-establishiment of the monarchy, were in reality intended chicfy as a protest agatust the Tonquin expedition, the vexatious, petty m this yeas sW | hurried on in France, prosceutions of the clergy and the general tendeney of the population in large cities to drift toward radicalism. public lies in the fact that besides lacking a suflicient numerical support, the Comte de Paris has not the spirit, or, rather, is too hon- orable to desire to mount the throne at the cost of civil war, whercas the republicans, for their part, are firmly resolved to make it a question of civil war if needs be, and to resist to the bitter end any attewmpt at monavchical restoration, THE COMT MANIFESTO. The Comte de Paris said in his manifesto: “At the decisive hour I shall be ready.” A week later, however, in his formal reply to Lambert de Saint Croix, at Tunbridge Wells, ne slightly moditied that ph “I wait,” id, “till France is ready. nce is not ready, nor likely ever to be,and *s the rub. Al this is so thoroughly well understood iiere that the manifesto itself, though nu important political act, by Which the Comte de Paris deliberately took up his stand.as a pretender, has attracted less atten- tion and called forth less comment from the Paris papers than what is called “1’incident @’ Aumale.” ONLY AN EXCUSE WANTE That lttle opisode, it must be confessed, isanything but eredifavle to any of tho par- tiesconcerned. The conduct of the govern- ment instriking the name ot the Duc d’Au- male from the rolls of the French army. three years after having been deprived of com- mand, was indeed @ most needless and gratu- itous affront. The government merely wished to have an excuse for driving him out of France, but the methods they adopted was mean and shabby to the last degree, JUST ABUSE. Moreover, the gibes levelled in the chamber at the duke by General Boulanger were ut- terly uncalled for, and only added insult to injury. The general twitted a man, who had proved himself a brilllant and capable soldier almost before the minister of war was born, with having owed his promotion to being the son of his father, Of course nobody ever thoughtot denying that the Dae d’Aumale was pushed to the front and given the oppor- tunity to distingulsh himselt atan early age. POSS AT MILITARY CAPACITY, He took advantage of thatopportunity, however, and made a name for himself at the age of twenty-one by the capture of Abd-el- Kader, together with 3,000 prisoners, an im- mense treasure and the entire correspondence of that redoubtable warrior. Moreover, the Duc d’ Aumale has since held several of the highest commands and, whethcr as governor general of Algeria, or commander of the S enth army corps and reorganizer of the east- ern line of defenses, or as president of the court martial which tried Marshal Bazame, he has invariably shown hlm-wli possessed of the very highest m!

And what is STILL MORE REMARKABLE, the gas candelabra on either side of the principal entrance to the embassy were not even lighted, A short time ago, happening to dineat the same house with DeGiers I heard him say to the lady next to him: “You may look out for great events before long, and they won't be such as to make the price of ruble go down either.” In fact, various little signs would scem to show that some big conspiracy of one kind orother may be hatch- ing. SIR CHARLES A SOCIAL EXILE. Vivisected on the Witnoess Stand—His Scarlet Flush. Losnoy, July 18.—New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bee.|—The royal courts, piled into which you could put the Chambers street court house five times ovef, never looked more fortress-like thah when, yesterday morning, ‘“classes,” *‘masses,” ladies and “big wigs” besieged the building, attracted by the mamwmoth reports in the papers of Dilke's testimony, and in hopes of getting in to hear and see his further vivisee- tion under cross-examination, but 5,000 were turned away and only about three hundred befavored auditors were admitted to the building. ENTRANCE OF THE STAR ACTORS. There isa rem: able variety of private entrances, through ome of which George Lewls, wearing a mottied pink in his button- hole, escorted his client, Mrs. Crawford, and her isters, she lgoklng_ as it not yet old enough to apprecinte, lier odd position. Through another Sort of donjon-keep Dilke entered in the company of Sir Henry James, the latter looking like a coming lord chancel- lor, the former wearing a crush hat and obyi- ously ill at ease, his usual audacity from gaze being gone. “oH! WOULD THAT WE ITAD NEVER MET.” About a seore of ladies were ready in the gallery fanning themselves and the fans ved defiantly at Dilke as he resumed his place in the witness box. The fair defend- ant gave him a look ag if internally singing the second line of the first verse of the famil- iar old British ballad, “Oh! Would That Ve Uad Never Met.” Not faraway his lordship and the witnesses exchanged salutes, as Mathews arose to conclude the cross-exami- nation. His questions had evidently been prepared. They were caleulated and, verhaps, with the purpose to put Dilke on a well tilled pincushion i 3 KX HER, “You said yesterday, Chayles, that on the 6th of May, 1882, you met your present vife at Mr, Earl's.”” esd’ she married then?” Her husband died in July, 1884.” “Yes, “You stated yesterday that you had never committed adultery with Ml‘s. Crawford.” 1. “ve never done so.” “Did yonevér Kiss her?” I never have been guilty of any familiarity wuh her.” e *‘Had you ev fense? “I think not,” “So that there was no more reason for seleeting you to accuse as the person who had seduced her than there was for selecting any other person in the world.” “1 think, as far as she was concerned, there was not.” In this last question was clearly exercised the art of sharp summing up interlocutor, wise tothe jury,and the court-room bi showed what an effective argument it was agalnst Dilke’s conspiracy sugeestion, TORTURE OF T WSPAPERS, The next question was perhaps intended to show thpt Dilke asa witness came to protect himself and not th e woman, “You made a specch at Chelsea in which you gave your reasons for addressing the queen’s proctor. Did you say you were [led to addrese him by the persecution and intol- tr.\! le torture of the newspaper comment?” ‘ft was a long speech, and 1 cannot say absolutely what were the words I used, but substantially what you suggest is correct,” DILKE'S DEEP SCARL TSH, “Then the queen’s counsel vivisector, raised his scalpel thus: *Did you ever tell Mrs, Crawford she was like her mothex?” “No. Atany rate not under any such cir- cumstances as she deseribes. It is impossi- ble for me to recollect whether 1 ever made such an observation,"” A deep scarlet flush touched the cheek bones of the witness as he listened to the next question while the gallery was paused and a hush in the atmosphere touched even the stenographic pens as Dilke turned rest- lessly to answer it, HER MOEHER'S LOVER, “I5 it true that ygu had been her mother’s lover?” “As Saturday when asked the same ques- tion, I decline to apswer.” You counld now sgew to see by the Vivisec- tor's tace what was ”ulng in his mind. Was it this? I confront the lover and the mother, whose daughtey confesses he subse- quently debauched her, and L now propose to show ho heinous were his crimes against the sacred claims of hospitality. HER FATHER'S FRIEND, “Were you upon intimate terms with Mr, Eustace Smith, Mrs, Crawlonl s father?” “Yes, for some years.” “Did you travel with them in 187527 “Yes,” “And received Mr, Smith's hospitality®? I was frequently in their house.” Not until Mrs. Crawford mway give some testinmony, perhaps on Tuesday, as a self-im- wolating witness of her husband, will the sig- niticance of these questions and the craft of Dilke’s last answer appear. FAMILIAR WETH FRENCH HABITS, “Did you spend a good deal of your time in France from 1574 to 18502 “Ialway spent about two wmonths and & half there.” “Were you familiar and ways” with French habits “Not in any particular sen The part 1 inhabited was in the extreme south, and they are there a simple, primitive people™ A short reexaminagjon by the queen’s prdetor followed in nk endeavor to round smoothly off the bristling points which the hysband's counsel had rgised against Djlke, when the latter resumeéd his seat in the body | of the court., NUMBER OF WITNESSES CALLED: George Lewis left the court shiking hands with his fair client. At the same time others who had been seated between the liusband and wife also left. This put them néar each other. Helooked disconcerned. She seemed amused and then more so when, by the exi- gencies of the crowded room, Dilke was obliged to sit next but one to Crawford Sarah Grey Dilke and her honsekeeper, then his solicitors, then Mr. and Mrs. Ruffle, with whom “Fanny" had been in hiding; then the footman, Shanks (the appropriateness of this name raising an audible laughter), Goode and Woods were successively called. “DID-NOT-SEE" EVIDENCE, "Che proctor’s object in the testimony of all theso was to contradict Mrs. Crawford's de tail of the dates and frequency of visits and her secrecy with Dilke in his house. Such object was accomplished so far as negative testimony like “‘did not see” can have any value, The hushand’s counsel, in_cross-ex- amination, however, laid the foundation for questions to Mrs. Crawford hereufter. This cross-exaination elicited from the solicitor of the witness that his client, Sir Charles, paid “Fanny's” wages while housemaid to the Ruffles, and from the latter that they did not need or afford to keep a housemaid. Tt was also elicited that “Fanny,” although a servant, was ‘‘free to go and come as she pleased.” TESTIMONY OF A JERMES, During this evidence Mrs. Crawford, evi- dently not fearing a chance of coljusion, was inaking suggestions to Inderwick, Her husband's counsel, while he was taking notes, each famjliarly smiling. In the cross- examination from one of the “Jeemes yellow plushes,” there was elieited the reply ! *That the one lady he only once admitted was Mrs, Crawford.” Being asked if he was told her name he admitted that he wasnot and bungled in an attempt to explain how he knew that particu- lar one lady owned that name. SIR CHARLES A 80CIAL EXILE. The improssion produced by the three “Jeemes” seched to bo that they were schooled witnesses. For instance, all were certaln that Mrs. Crawford and Mrs. Ashton Dilke were the only ladfes whoever called to soa Dilke. [hese fobtmen in looks, de- meanor and pronunciafon proved that Thackeray’s portraitures of their class were not exsggerations. When the court ad- journed until Monday doubtless nearly every auditor felt that whatever may bo the verdiet, whetler in favor of Sir Charles or Mrs. Crawford, the effect of the former’s evidence has made him a socfal exlle. He has refused to clear a mother’s name and had needlessly smirched that of her daughter, besides ad- mitting circumstahces which tended to strenglhen and weaken hisstory. THE KAISER COMES.

The reseryed apartments in which the kaiser will pass the night are on the ground floor of the hotel Drie Mahren, next to the trigger palace, and are arranged with a mag- nificence worthy of Augurburg’s tormer glorious day, The nobility residing in the neighborhood have contributed curios for the decoration of the imperial apartments, In the reception room, in the style of the six- teenth century, are the same chairs, table and clock as in the hall of the bishop of Augs- burg's place in 1539, when the !
