represent that the island is in a condition
approaching anarchy. The Christian and
Mohammedan factions are engaged in
constant warfare and are killing one an

tiles are pOwerless to stop the disorder,
and the regular troops formerly stationed
on the island have been taken away to
aid the Porte in putting down the rebell-
ION in Arabia. The existence of a finan-
cial panic adds to the Cretans' miseries.

IRISH LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
BaIfour Outlines His Plans in a Speech
at Plymouth.

at plymouth.
LONDON, Aug. 11.-Balfour, Chief Sec
retary for Ireland, in q speech delivered
at Plymouth yesterday, outlined his
ideas of Irish local government. He
was, he said, aware that many members
Of the Conservative party disliked the
proposal, but he argued that there were
two reasons why local government
should not be withheld from Ireland.
The first was a sentimental one, because
1t had already been given to England
and Scotland; and the second was because
q local government had been repeatedly
promised Ireland. BaIfour declared it
would be madness to allow the councils
to administer the funds of any class not
represented in these bodies. Such a per-
mission would convert them into en-
gines of tyranny and oppression. The
police question, Balfour continued,
caused alarm, but he would never con-
sent TO decentralization force by hand
ing over the local police either to coun~
ellis or councils in association with the
Grand Jury. He further believed there
would be no serious attempts by the
councils to secure control Of so costly a
force. He was compelled to admit he
feared the first result of a change would
be TO oust the landlords from a share in
the government, even though they
guarded the councils by some form of
minority representation. This was to be
deplored but he trusted and believed as
the political storm subsidized and as
ancient rancor should be forgotten, the
gradual effect of the land-purchaSe meas
ure would be felt, and these gentlemen,
if they remained, would be largely recog-
nized and elected as the best men to carry
on the county business, and thus recon-
cile the classes which have been too much
and too long separated.
The Standard says Balfour's declara-
ton regarding the Irish police removes
the gravest objection to the bill, but there
still remains a great deal to justify the
Irish Loyalist's misgivings, and that il
will be desirable to introduce stringent
measures to guarantee the upright man
agement of the finances.
The Times says his clear, vivid percep-
ton of the dangers of the scheme is the
best possible guarantee that Balfour is fit
to cope with and conquer them.
The NelCS says: We gather from Bal
four's vague remarks that there viii be
no fancy franchises and no artificial re-
| Strictions upon the choice of electors,
| however ingeniously framed. The bill
will enormously strengthen the demand
for Home Rule, and make the Crimes Act
| a more ridiculous farce than ever.
The Chronicle presumeS the intention is
to make the Irish franchise narrower
than the English. The Cytroaicte en-
phatically opposes any such policy. Ire
land, it says, is entitled to absolute
equality.
