The new English ministry is already
respected in Ireland, and it is but a short
step TO the confidence of the people. When
the Earl of Spencer. the late viceroy for
Ireland. left Dublin on Saturday. the
route to the railway station swarmed with
detectives and bristled with bayonets;
when the Earl of Carnarvon and Sir Will
liam Hart Dyke. the new viceroy and
chief secretary for Ireland, made their en-
trance into Dublin. recently, not n detec
tive or soldier was seen on the route.
The contrast will have its influence both

No strike which has occurred in recent
years in tins country attracted more atten
ton and enlisted more of the sympathies
of the people than the one in the Hooking
Valley of Ohio. That the miners were
acting upon wrong principle and were
destined to fail in their efforts was almost
universally acknowledged but the patience
with which they endured privation and
suffering and the law-abiding conduct of
the great majority of them called cut ex-
pressons of admiration. even from those
who could not approve of the methods
employed II will be gratifying to know.
that with the end OF the strike and the re-
sumption of work prosperity has returned
again to the valley. One of the results OF
the disagreement is reported to be dis
continuance of store orders. in which the
miners were compelled formerly to take
share of their wages. and dissatisfaction
with which was one of the causes of the
trouble. Other lessons taught by the long
period of idleness will be learned doubt
less by both employer and employees. and
result in the future in less friction and
more amicable relations between the two.
