The Irish Times, a loyalist organ Of
Dublin, offers a new solution to the Irish
question. The outcome Of the present
situation will he that the lieutenancy will
be entirely done away with and the func.
tions Of the office will become part Of the
duties OF the president Of the local govern
ment board. This latter officer will be as
sisted by n chief secretary for Ireland, who
will live at Whitehall and have general
charge oi the administration OF Irish af-
fairs. The immediate executive duties will
be performed by an officer stationed at
Dublin. The advocates Of this scheme
find reason for believing It possible in the
fact that the leaders Of both parties have
already abandoned the idea Of creating an
Irish parliament, while it is admitted on all
hands that the present mode Of governing
Ireland cannot continue unmodified.
