The Duke OF Bedford writes to the Lon
don Times as follows: There is a growing
belief that Mr.. Gladstone seeks to aban-
don the loyal Irish to the dominion OF the
disloyal. This obliges me to ask myself
whether the party allegiance to which l
have ever adhered is not strained to the
breaking point. Many Liberals beside
myself are eager for assurance to the con.
trary.
The London Daily News ridicules the at.
tempt to depose Mr.. Gladstone from the
Liberal leadership. 1t says that the Lib
erals cannot unite except under Gladstone;
that moderates, except fossils such as the

The earl OF Carnarvon, lord lieutenant OF
Ireland, declares that parliament will not
help to relieve the dreadful distress pre-
yailing among the inhabitants ofAchill and
Eagle island. Lord Carnarvon adds that

starving people is the limited means at his
disposal Of sending unfortuna tes to the
workhouse: He, however, hopes that pri-
vate contributions for the relief OF the sui
ferers will enable the poor people to remain

The Irish Times, a loyalist organ OF
Dublin, offers new solution to the Irish
question. The outcome OF the present
situation will be 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 chief secretary for Ireland, who
will live at Whitehall and have general
charge OF 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, whileit is ad omitted on all
hands that the present mode of governing
Ireland cannot continue unmodified.
