cause for striking. But here is some
Thing worth noting. There are no strikes

whether you are well or ill-paid, why
stay i'll the towns. to be poorly lodged
and poorly fed, and to crave the right of

Independent of capital, in the one way in
which men can be independent? There
:,re too many men eking out a miserable
Nistence, sitting in the misery of the

LORD FREDERICK CAyENDISH, new
Chief Secretary for Ireland, and Thomas
Fl. Burke, Under-Secretary, were assas-
sinated last Friday evering in Dublin.
The horrible crime was committed in
broad-daylight, and the bodies were mu-
tilated in ghastly manner. Earl Spen-
Ger, the new Lord Lieutenant, had just
arrived and had an interview with the
Secretary, after which the Secretary and
Under-Secretary went out for walk in
the park, when an Irish jaunting car
containing four reughly-dressed men
drove up behind them and stopped. The
four men left the car and Immediately
assaulted Lord Cavendish and Mr.. Burke
with daggers and bludgsons, and when
they had completed their murderous
work leaped into the car and were driv,
en- rapidly away. The lifeless bodies of
the Secretaries were found soon after
ward and taken to the Hospital. This
event changes in moment all the pros
poets of peace, and is the worst thing
that could have happened to Ireland,
and will most likely precipitate direful
consequences.
WHO THE IRISH SECRETARIES WERE.
Lord Frederick Charles Cavendish,
second son of the Duke of Devonshire.
and one of the two younger brothers of
the Marquis of Harrington, was nearly
46 years old, and had been for seventeen
years in public life without attaining
prominence. He was born November
80, 1886. His mother. who was daugh-
ter of the Earl of Carlisle, died in 1910.
Lord Frederick Cavendish was educated
at Trinity College, Cambridge He was
Lord Granville's private secretary from
1859 to 1864, when Granville was Presi-
dent of the Council. In June, 1864, he
married Lucy Caroline. the second
daughter of Lord Lyttleten, and maid
of honor. Since 1865 he had represented
in Parliament the North Division of the
West Riding of Yorkshire until his ap-
| pointment to be Chief Secretary for Ire
land. Since the formation of Gladstone's
present administration he has been Sec
retary of the Treasury. His elder broth
er, Lord Harrington, the leader of the
Liberals during Mr.. GladstOne's tempo
rary retirement, was Chief Secretary for
Ireland himself from 1871 to 1874, ard
the youngest brother, Lord Edward, has
been in the House of Commons since
1865. The estates of the Duke of Dew
onshire are l63, 900 acres in extent, dis,
tributed in fourteen counties. and the
| CavendisEeS are SAID to be liberal land
lords. The motto of the family arms is
"Cavendo tutus"-"Safe by caution"
Thomas Haviland Burke was appoint
ed to the position of Urder-Secretarv for
Ireland about 1870, during Mr.. Glad.
stones first administration. He contin-
ued to hold the office under the Beacons-
field administration and up to the time
of his death. About the time he became
Under-SecretarY, the Marquis of Hart
ford, the brother of Lord Frederick Cav
endish, succeeded Chicester Fortesque
as Chief Secretary.
