COMMENTS OF IRISH EDITORS.
DUBLIN, Jan. 22.-FreeT1dH's journal
says: ''Ghe Queens speech IN opening
Parliament Yesterday was an opportunlst
attempt TO please both Irish parties. 1t
has tendency to propitiate stronger
party and disappolnt the Loyalsts."
lion of the Queen that the union shall not
be broken is an ANCHORAGE for the Loyal
SITS. The wisdom of Parliament VIII set
de the rest. The foes OF the constitution
have been disapproved.3
ViscOunt Cranbrook has been appointed
Secretary of State for war in place of w.
n. Smith, who has accepted the ONCE OF
Chief Secretary for Ireland.
MIR. o'BRIEN's AMENDMENT
no n ~
amendment in the House Of Commons to
the address in reply to the Queens speech
recites that the depression in agriculture
tnfiicts grievous hardships upon the ten
ant farmers, who form the bulk OF the
people OF Ireland, and, being desti-
tute of capital, they are unable to
obtain credit. Owing to a succession of
bad seasons they are reduced to a helpless
condition and are unable to pay full rents.
Their hardships are aggravated by an in
consideFate use OF legal power by land
owners in enforcing evictions and refus-
ing the abatement required by the pres
ent state of affairs. This House, there
fore, with view of insuring respect for
law and order, should consider
as soon as possible measures by
which Irish courts will be enabled to
stay evictions and arrange settlement
between tenants and landlords.
The Post says that MIR. Gladstone
nodded assent when Mr.. Sexton stated
Ghas he understood that MI. Gladstone
favored the restoration of the native legis-
Lature TO Ireland, provided the integrity
Of the empire, supremacy OF the Crown
and authority Of the Imperial Parliament
khould be secured.
FOREIGN COMMENTS.
The comments of the foreign papers on
the Queens speech are mainly devoted to
Vie enormous difficulty which, il is
thought, the English government will eX-
perlenee in dealing with the Irish ques-
zion. German newspapers say that por-
hon of the Queens speech relating TO the
Balkan problem compares faVOrably with
Russian statements on that subject.
