Is relation To the troubles in Ireland Pre-
mier Gladstone announces that the first duty
of the Government is TO preserve order and
TO protect life and property, and that the
Government is determined to protect its citi-
zens at all hazards. 1t is expected that good
results will follow this change of base on the
part Of the Government, and that the threat
ened outbreak in ireland will not take place,
II is believed that Nr. Gladstone will receive
the support of both houses Of Parliament IN
the position which he has taken, and that it
will only be- necessary 10 deal promptly and
dccisiyely with any crisis that may arise to
restore order in the turbulent districts. On
the other hand dissensions are reported in
the cabinet over the Irish questions, and, it
is said two or three Of its members are about
To resign. 1t is suggested that the govern
ment is considering the question of making
the peasant class Of Ireland the owners of the
soil.
