THE GRANT DESIRED.

that the association shall be represented

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. FOR IRELAND.
Another subject considered by the Cabi-
net was the appointment of an Irish un-
der-secretary. The Associated Press an
nounced q month ago that well-known
politician. George Fottrell, who was once
legal adviser to. the Land Commls-
sion, was Mr.. Morley's own selection

appointment. Mr.. Ridgway has not yet
resigned the post, though he Is ignored by
the present Chief Secretary. Mr.. Glad
stone wants q former under-secretary, or
Robert Hamilton, now Governor OF las
mania. TO come home and resume his old
place If SIR Robert consents IT Will Only
be in Difference 10 the solicitations OF Mr..
Gladstone, who deems him the best man
for the critical transition period.
TIE EVICTION TROUBLES.
The gravity of the eviction troubles be-
comes more intense under the action OF
the Tory landlords. The number OF
eyicted tenants now reaches 1900. The
number of eviction notices pending under
the act of 1887 reaches almost $4,000.
Many of these are formal, but all
the tenants unless they pay their
arrears within SIX months alter they
receive notice are liable to be ousted
or become mere care-takers of their own
farms. Ii the landlords mean to try TO
foil the Liberal policy by wholesale eve
tons there will be bitter land-wsr. The
ministerial circle IS confident that the
Cabinet will not hesitate 10 sanction the
boldest measures the Irish executive may
require to foil the Unionist tactics.
THE M'cARTHYITE MANIFESTO.
Whatever may be the effect of the Nc
Carthyite manifesto In America, II mas
fallen fat here. The Liberal press gave 1t
scant comment. while the Conservative
papers dub it "a mendicant's whine, its
erandiloquence of language failingt TO con-
| ceal Its real character-an appeal for funds
| TO enable the antl-Parnellltes TO live In
| comfort in London throughout the next
session"
PROPOSED TEMPERANCE COMMITTEE.
The government. believing that legisla-

| BILE during the next session, propose TO
| try to satisfy the eager demands OF the
| temperance advocates by appointing q
| select committee on the subject. The
| committee will not take evidence regard

simply report on the best legislative means
