IRISH AFFAIRS.
lord carnaryon's progress through the west Oh
Ireland has been marked by plenty OF snoo'n
words and has given rise to no unpleasant ihciuo"
except the hostile meeting at westport; but the
: critical mart of his journey is yet 70 come.
ital Eh
rubbcation of Mr.. Clifford Lloyds long aOie anu
statesmanlke letter in yesterdays Times. Ihose
who have believed the ParEellIte charges against
Mr.. uloyd may be surprised to find hlm discuss'ns
Irish problems in the spirit of patriotic hishhah
rot dsloyal TO the Queens Government. Like Lord
sonoer no favors the abolition of tho Viceroyalty,
but works out scheme of his own for the creation
of an independent elective municipal and county
Government. which would give the lrish cohtroi
of their local affairs. He countenances, however
no step toward Home Rule. but keeps the depart
ments Of iustice. taxation and police as now under
the control of Parliament Practically. as Inc I"e'
saws. he commits all else to the Irish people
The Parncllites reject this they do every other
proposal which does not put in their hands absolute
power; yet Mr. Lloyd says Mr.. Parneil has already
nearly absolute power, and he describes the irish
Nation as subjects at the feet of an uncrowned king
A cLERGYMAN's CURIOUS PLEA
There have been no important speeches during
The week, and little political activity OF any kind
discussion is proceeding regarding the proprety
OF political lying, provoked by letter OF Mr'
Kennedy. a Radical clergyman. advising iaoorer'
to lie TO their employer If necessary. but TO vote
the Liberal ticket.
MR.. GLADSTONE.
Bulletins arrive almost hourly from Norway
saving that Mr.. Gladstones general health improves
Int his hoarsencss continues. DR.. semon' never
theless. processes to have undated confidence 10
his patient's ability to use his voco moderately IN
the coming campaign.
SIR CHARLES dixie.
Tho decision of the council of the Chelsea LIB
erals TO support Sir Charles Dixie as candidate II
spite of the accusations against him Is clearly
right, but they provoke slight reaction against
him by undertaking to pronounce the charge un-
true in advance of the trial People think that 0
political caucus exceeds its jurldcton in anticipat
ing the verdict of divorce court though the belief
continues general that the charge will ultimately
break down. Most of the pretended details pub
lishcd here are fabrications
The appointment OF Dr. Wordsworth as Bishop o.
Salisbury has bitterly disappointed all but Low
Churchmen. High Churchmen and moderate'
wanted Canon Liddon, who is passed over because
the Queen thinks him extreme.
