public Lord Salisbury finds no difficulty in filling
posts in the Royal Household where MIR. Gladstone
| encountered repeated refusals from peers and
pecresses which seriously embarrassed the fOrma-
tiOn of his Ministry.
The journey of Lord Londonderry and Sir
| Michael Hicks Beach to Dublin was made only in
order to be sworn in. No public ceremony or pub
lie demonstration of any kind occurred. The new
Viceroy proposes to make his state entry into
Dublin at the end of September and intends to
surpass all his predecessors in magnifcence and in
expenditure while holding Office. He Will send
over thirtytwo carriage horses, requires his coach
man to be able to turn ont four fourn-bands sim
ultaneously, and takes with him large hunting
stud including ten hunters besides those for his
own riding Lady Londonderry shares her hus-
bands ambition to make his Viccroyalty memor-
able for splendoT and will DO whatever can be done
by pretty and clever woman, TO emu ating
Lady Aberdeens charitable wOrk-a difficult task
Everything short is TO be tried to make Ireland
forget she is ruled by n Castercaeh everything TO
conciliate Irish favor except giving the Irish what
they want
Mr.. Gladstones declaration to Arnold Morley
that lie must seek change In or beyond this country
gives rise to many coniecturcs 1t is doubtful
whether the announcement in Dublin paper of
| his intended journey to Ireland as guest OF an
sibc that Mr. Gladstone can have fixed upon plan
while the duration of the present session of Parla-
ment is still uncertain. 1t is known that he
desires to VISIT America, but there is no reason to
suppose that he intends TO cross the Atlantic this
autumn. Lord Rosebery is probably going TO India
| in October to be absent till February. 1t is sug-
gested that Mr. Gladstone may mediate taking
that opportunity to see something of the tnglish
Empire, but any long absence W juld be inconsist-
ent with his purpose to keep vigilant look out on
the course of affairs and to ready to take I'D
vantage Of any turn in his favor.
Mr. Matthew Arnod's letter III The London Times
on Home Rule provOkes much criticism. One Tory
journal declares that this distinguished writer is
less successful than usual i'll investigating common
place opinions with an air of originality. The
Times, however. calls the letter interesting and
characteristic. and entirely agrees with its general
conclusion in favor of an extension Of local govern
menu In Ireland. Mr. Arnold's testimony to the
| state Of American opinion on the Irish question
will hardly shake the general En- gish belief that
! America is for Home Rule.
The Bishop of London, who last year followed
| the lead of The TRIBUNE in promoting tresh-Air
| Fund for children. rcnews his appeal this week.
He estimates the cost of fortnights holiday at
SO for each child. Last year he sent o. 500 children
into the country the parents paying one-quarter OF
the expenses
