new position of governor general of Cana
da. 1t has been announced that the Feni-
ans have made explicit threats against his
life. The Marquis has been
notoriously imprzdent in stirring up
against him the hatred of the Irish ex-
tremists. His appointments to the Cana
diem vice royalty, so soon after his open
rupture with the Gladstone cabinet on the
Irish land question, is admitted to have
been made for the purpose of shelving a
renegade politician who might become
| Troublesome. AS soon az the appoint
ment was made, which was several mosths
| ago, the marquis and his wife arranged q
series of farewell visits throughout Ire
| land. From the Parnellite point of view
Lansdowne's record as an Irish landlord
is bad enough. His open rupture with
the cabinet on the lard question was
worse than his record, but the
fact that he consorted intimately with the
leading Tories, Protestants and Orange
men, and accompanied Sir Stafford North
cote in great revival of Orange enthusi-
a5m, is deemed as the acts OF q politician
who has succeeded in carrying Protes-
tants against Catholics. Besides this the
Dublin Castle government have already
found reason for proclsiming six of the
most important Parnellite meetings, upon
| the ground that the Crangemen were de-
tormined 10 break them up by resorting to
riotiDg. Now during the whole of this
bitter and ill-conditioned campaign Sir
Stafford Northcote was ths guest of the
Duke of Abercorn at Baron's
Court. So was at the same
time the Marquis OF Lensdowne. They
both held forth daily against nation alism,
and when Sir Stafford Northcote vent
through the country on Tory STUN ping
tour, Lansdcwne arranged to accompany
the bitter conservative orator throughout
the campaign. Tbs campaign has done
more to stir up strife in Ireland than all
put together. The principal loss resulting
from the revived feuds between the
Orangemen and Catholics has fallen upon
the Nationalists. Their ranks have been
depleted of thousands OF Protestants, who
had Joined the league. Is is impossible
to convey to Americans anything like a
correct idea of the bitter feelings of re-
sentiment entertained by the Nationalists
against Lansdowne. Although he took no
really active part in the recent Orange
revivals he is believed>by the leaguers to
have been at the bottom OF the whole bust
ness. The friends OF the marquis forsee-
ing trouble are loud in their explana-
tious that the presence of The marquis and
Sir Stafford Northcall at Baron's court a.
the same time was merely a coincidencs.
Their explanation IS to The effect that
Lansdowre had engaged passage in q ship
of the Anchor Iine and the point of depar-
ture Of the ships is in the north OF Ireland;
that the Duka Of Abercorn, though a DO
litical foe, being close personal friend of
the governor general, was placed at the
foot of the list os those
whom the marquis had arranged to honor.

north Of Ireland, afforded placa where

very fimsy. The Irish leaders pronounce
it very insulting. It certainly has not
Modified the leaguers. Many profess to
believe that he IS 8 doomed man and do
not hesitate to express their fears that his
career as Governor General of Canada may
be cut short by repetition Of the Phoenix
park horror.

LcNpoN, Oct. 28.-The government hes
just become conscious Of its eggregious folly
in postponing Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt's
new municipal bill. A pamphlet called
''The Bitter Cry of Outesst London" has
raised the widest indignation. Lord
Salisbury's article in National Revie,c,
called "Laborers and Artisans Dwellings,"
has made ths evaporation still more
bitter, the Standard declaring that such a
psper from such man is worth
more than a hundred party speeches.
Societies are formed to help discharged
convicts while honest women are LETT to
strive and respectable girls are turned
from the doors of asylums because they
lack the necessary qualifications of vice.
Lord Salisbury proposes state interven-
tios.. He efirms public loans are justi
fed by ingenious considerations Of public
policy even if ell Of humanity are cast
aside" He thinks the working people
should be transferred TO places outside the
town. where good houses should be built
for them. Dozens of other remedies have
been proposed by other writers. The Pail
Hall Gazette says: ''The man who lives
By letting psstilential dwelling house is
morally on par with the man who lives
by keeping a house of i'll fame" A
correspondent writes, what is the use Of
dealing with the fringe of the subject?
Why not go boldly to the roots That root
is the insensate and reckless multiplica-
ton Of the human species. As long as
that goes on unchecked all the lawgivers,
moralists and phiianthropists can do is
whitewashiDg q sepulehre.' Thus at last
the politics of the poor have come to the
front. The liberals are frightened that
the conservative leader has headed the
proposed reform.
