But we don’t intend to move any formal amend- ment to the address on that subjeet. DISTRUST LONDON PAPERS, I would advise your readers always to dis- trust paragraphs from the London papers rrofessing to tell in advance what the Irish party will do in this and that emergency. We do not up our minds long in aa- “vance. We could not possibly do so. We have to be guided by the conditions and events of the hour, and you may be sure if we did make up our minds long in advanee we should not confide the result of our delib- erations to the London papers. A MISTAKEN ANNOUNCEMENT. There is a raziaph in some of the morning papers to-day announcing that the Irish members h determined to prolong to the uttermost possible moment the present sitting of parliament by debating the esti- mates when they come in line, No such solve has been made by the Irish party. The Irish party will prolong the session if it secins to them that prolonging the session will do the slightest good for the interests of Ireland, We would resolve on Tuesday to prolong the session if a sudden reason showed itself favoring the interests of Ire- land, even though we had resolved on Mon- day to let the session come quietly to an im- mediate close, SUPPORTING TRISH LANDLORDS, For the moment it will be seen the govern- ment are leaning distinetly on the support of the Irish landlords, and are letting the se- cessionist liberals go by. They promise to maintain order, as their phrase is, In the first instance, and then will dosomething for the landlords in the way of land purchase, Now, the condition of things in Ireland is Just this: ‘Che winter will show a terrible strain on the tenant farmers in some p ) 1t is as clear as light that over large tracts of country the judicial rents cannot be paid. Th:e FARMERS CAX BARELY LIV They can barely scrape out of the land mieans for supporting themselves and their children, How, then, can shey pay the ju- dicial ts? But, judging from the utter- ances of Salisbury and Churchill, the govern- ment aro prepared to regard judicial rents as something fixed, irrevocable and sacred, in- vested with that sacred sanctity which Rob- ert Lowe, y Ny ago, declared sur- rounds all the property of landlords, ‘There will then BE WIHOLESALE EVICTIONS, The landlords in many places feel exas- peratea against the nation alist tenantry, and at the same time are insp ired with new cour- age by the advent of u conservative ministry.

Some men, whose judgment 1 highly respect, are of the opinion that the conservatives will divert A FOREIGN WAR, Well, it they want such an excuse they have it ready in their hands in the papers about Batoum and Russia, just laid before parliament. Russia simply snubs our late foreign secretary and tells him the Russian governwent are alone to judge wheiher Rtus- 8la has kept or broken her engagewents. So, if itis the tory cue to fight, they have got their cue now. But I do not believe the wildest tory Is inclined to bring on a war with Russia while the Irish question is still unseitied.

Ireland’s Fricnd Writes on the Irish Question—The Situation. Houvse or CoMyMoNs Linnanry, Wesr- MINSTER, Angust 2] New York Herald Cable—Special to the ¢ -Political dis- cussion here will soon derive an immense and unexpected stimulus from a most im- portant contribution by Mr. Gladstone, which cannot fail to excite immense interest on both sides of the Atlantic when laid before the public. In the same manner he pro- duced a great sensation during this contro- versy with the Roman church, when all Lon- don was startled by his famous pamphlet: ‘The Vatican Decrees in Their Bearing on Civil Allegiance.” Albemarle street was then blocked by cager purchasers. No such ex- citement had been seen there since the issue of anew poem by Lord Byron. The forth- ming production will also be issued in nphlet form with the title of STHE IRISIEQUESTION, under the author’s own name. It is divided into two parts. Part [ is entitied “History of An Idea.” In this Mr. Gladstone presents asort of supplement to his *“Fragments of Autobiography,” published in defense of his course in the Irish church question. e ty the-development of the home rule idea in nis own mind. He contends he never opposed the movement. He shows that for the last fifteen vears his thoughts have turned and more toward it, seeing plainly that the was NO OTHER SOLUTION to the Irish dificulty possible. He then traces the sequence of cirenmstances and re- flections which led him to decide to introduce his recent plans with the view of arviving at a final settlement. He contends there is no inconsistency in his course. He could have taken no other, holding the opinions he did. His part must be regarded as a piece of justi- fication, interesting alike to the student of political history and of Mr. Gladstone's career. The second part is entitled *Lessons of the Election.” In this Mr. Gladstone anal- yzes the election returns, arguing that a very small actual majority decided agaunst his bills, and that a comparatively few conver- sions WOULD TURN In the other dircction. He refers to the areu- ments used by Mr. Chamberlain and others as tending to misrepresent the real issue be- fore the country, which nevertheless cannot long be perverted. He shows the prog the home rule idea has made ever since the introduction of his bills last session, requir- ing now but the transfer of a slight number of votes to secure a victory. He concludes with the expression of a confident opinion that the cause must triumph, He says Lre- land has only to wait with patience and hope. I need not tell you this pamphlet will fall like a bombshell fn political circles, and doubtless do much toward REKINDLING THE FLAGGING 101 of the list The tone of en- couragement and confidence throughout the manifesto must be weleome to Mr. Glad- stone’s allies, The pamphlet, which s written in a vigorous style, consists of about sixty pages in large type. It will be pub- lished at the end of next week or at the be- ginning of the tollowing week. 1 bolieve ar- rangements have been made tor its simul- taucous publication by Scribner, of New York, and a cheap edition will immedigtely follow the first issue here. One part of the pamphlet, in which Mr. Gladstone endeavors to show he has been practically in favor of lome rule for lifteen years past, will create a storm of controvers; The author must ex- peet to be confronted with many passages from speeehics whieh have doubtless slipped his mewory. THE SCALE DULL SPEECIES, We have got over the first two nizhits of the session with no worse result than lassi- tude eansed by two doses of eight hours each of unusually dull speeches, the exception, of course, being Gladstone's, Churehill's, Har- court’s and O'Connor's.

A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, AFFAIRS IN FRANCE, Rumors of President Grevy's Resigna- tion Prevalent. Panis, August 21, [New York Herald Cable—Special to the Ber.)—The probability ot the resignation of President Grevy before long hasbeen much talked of during the last few days. Mr. Grevy, who has now entered his eighticth T, s far from strong. he least exertion said to tire him, and no doubt he woald be only too glad to relieve himself from the burden of power,and to spend the remaining days of his Iife in well-earned pe It he carries out this intention, which is so generally attri- buted to him, M. Defreycinet will be the strongest candidate in the field for the vacant presidency. Itis even said that M. Grevy has, in asort of political testament, recommended Defreycinet as his successor. CANDIDATES FOR SUCCESSOR. In fact, there is hardly any one else possi- ble. The country is hardly ripe for such radicals as MM. Clemenceau and Floguet. M. Ferry has been trying hard to emerge in from the obscurity in which the un- fortunate Tonquin affair drove him, but it will be DIe time before France will forgive him. As for eneral Boulanger, somehow he has man- 1 1o miss fire, like his own pistol in the Delarlenty duel.

August 2L—By a special just learned that yesterday the second chamber of the supreme tribunal of Chihnalina took up the ease of A. K. Cutting, and after reviewing the entire evidence, argument began. This did not last long. Tho attorneys pro and con had previ- ously eame to an agreement that “the two months’ imprisonment already suffered by Cutting would be considered a complete purgation of his crime.” This makes it certain that the sentence which follows shortly will conform to this agreement. Anong the attorneys the case was heard with closed doors, The courts hold both Judge Castendora and Judge Zubla exactly right in trying and sentencing Cutting, but under the cireumstances the court thinks he has now by two mouths’ con- finement suffered enough and they will or- der his release fo take effect by ‘[esday or Wednesday next week. The $600 tine s also {obe remitted. The court expressly reaflivms all_that has been sald in favor of the right of Meyico to try an offense committed in the United States, Therefore the status of the case as an international question is not, and will not, be in the least altered by the Telease of Cutting. It will come up again directly on the question of indemnity. Consul Brigham says he didn't see low the re- lease of Cutting at this stage would change anything but the personal comfort of Cutting. It was not so much the question of the personal liberty of Cutting as the broad principle at stake between the two governments, and as he understood, the court had expressly aftirmed the validity of the law, which Secretary Bayard has rightly said thatthe United States could never pe mitto be enforced. e said it was likely the polnt would come up again on the ques- tion of indemnity, which he thought would have to be paid.
