The Irish Chief secretary Succeeds the
Late Mr.. Smith as the Tory Gen.
eralissimO.
He Becomes First Lord Of the Treas
ury, but will Retain His Secre.
taryship for the Present.

LONDON, Oct 19.-It is officially an
nounced to-day that Right Hon. Arthur J.
Baliour, member of parliament for East
Manchester and chief secretary for Ireland,
has been appointed FIRST lord of the treas
ury. It is reported that Mr. Baliour will
retain his position as the chief secretary for
{ Ireland.
The Chronicle thinks that the marquis OF
Salisbury would have preferred another
\ parliamentary leader to Mr.. Balfour, but
he was obliged to accede to the wishes OF
his party unless the marquis of Harrington
a permanent union. Mr.. Baltour is not at
all likely, the Chronicle thinks. to be as
docile to the ruling of the triun.virate-
Salisbury, Harrington and Chamberlain
as Mr.. Smith was. The appointment may
be regarded as gamblers throw-a hope
thst the new leader will have beneficial
effect upon the coming election.
Right Hon. c. T. Richie is spoken of as
Mr.. Balfour's successor as chiet secretary.
Mr.. Richie is the president of the local
government board. all office with salary
OF $1,000 a year, whereas the chief secre-
tary for Ireland receives 1895. Mr. Rit-
chic has never been noted for executive
ability, although a mar of considerable
original force, and of q long parliamentary
experience. 1t is remembered, however,
that Mr.. Baltour himself sat i'll parliament
for years and held government office with
out displaying any special ability, until
his appointment as Irish chief secretary
brought out his peculiar capacity for what
the irish call Balfourism.
Mr.. Ritchie is also Scotchman, being a
native of Dundee, where he was born in
1888. He has been for many years resi-
dent Of London. He is at present the
more probable selection of those mentioned
for the Irish chief secretaryship.
w. l.. Jackson, who has also been named,
IS financial secretary of the treasury and
has held more Office in thoroughly busi-
nessiike way. 1t is not thought probable
that Lord Salisbury will dispense with him
in the treasury, especially as lie represents
the rather doubtful constituency of North
Leeds.
Sir John Eldon Gorst has also been
named tor the Irish office. In ability he is
undoubtedly superior to either Jackson or
Ritchie. and he has had the East Indian
experience which in the choice of magis-
trxtes for Ireland the Salisbury government
has considered a qualification.
The Times says: "Only the dullcst ma
lignity can pretend that Mr.. Baltour has
not earned his promvtion. 1t is absurd to
talk OF nepotism. The marquis of Sails
bury had no more power to lift his
nephew unless the party desired it than Mr..
Gladstone could make either OF his sons
chancellor OF the exchequer."

was he, principally, who killed the pro-
ject of u new court house, because he
thought it for the best interest OF the
people. He was frank and open heart
