for ireland.
Rt Hon. A. }. Mundella, president Of
the board of trade.
Sir Charles Russell, attorney general.
John Rigby, solicitor general.
Rt. Hon. Samuel Walker, lord chan
cellOr Of Ireland.
A, ID. McDermott. attorney general
for Ireland.
Rt. Hon. Edward P. c. Marjoribanks,
patronage secretary to the treasury.
Alexander Asher, solicitor general for
Scotland.
Rt. Hon. j. 3. Balfour, lord advocate
of Scotland.
Earl of Kimberly. secretary of state
for India and vice president OF the
council.
Marquis of Ripon, secretary of state
for the colonies.
Sir George Trevelyan, secretary for
Scotland.
Arnold Morley, postmaster general.
Arthur Herbert Dyke Ackland, vice
president of the council of education.
Baron Houghton, yicerOy of Ireland,
without seat in the cabinet. The an
nouncement of the appointment of Baron
Houghton to the position of viceroy of
Ireland was so incredible that press
representatives made inquiries about it,
when it was found out that the appoint
ment had been made as announced.
Radicals Disappointed.
The composition of the new govern
ment Is an intense disappointment to
the Radicals. Not a single man. except
John Morley. prominently identified
with the Radicals has been appointed a
cabinet minister. and among the cabinet
posts few members Of the new set have
any but the remOtest chance OF getting
a place. Even Mr.. StanSfeld, who in
the last Gladstone cabinet represented
democratic opinion, has been sheiYed.
Report says that Mr.. Brice may yet
come in as first commissioner of works,
with seat in the cObinet, but this is
only likely to happen il Mr.. Gladstone
finds the storm of Radical Indignation
so Overpowering as to compel the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Brice.
The official list, when scanned to-
night at the National Liberal club,
awOke vehement protests. The bulk of
the members of strong Radical tendeu-
cieS turned from the announcement
with expressions of scOrn and anger.
Was 1t for an undiluted list of old men
associated with traditions of Whiggery,
with some new resources from the ter
ritOrial and ariStOcratic classes, that the
Radicals had given their money and
their time? This was the general ques-
ton, and the responsive prediction fol-
lowed that such a government could not
last three months after parliament re-
Sumed business.
A Good Cabinet.
Apart from Radical opinion the cabi-
net is really composed of eminently re-
spectacle men. MIR. Gladstone has COL
lected around him tried colleagues ac-
customed to subordination and certain
not to deviate into strange ways. His
three new cabinet ministers. Messrs.
AsQuith, Arnold Morley and Acland,
are sound Liberals. Arnold Morley is
in everything GladStOnian. Mr.. Acland
has potent old Wing family connections,
and is heir to large estates.
Probably Mr.. Gladstone will try to
strengthen his position by offering
minor posts to Mr.. Stuart, the Radical
leader of London county council; Mr..
Hunter, now the leader of the Scotch
Liberals; NJ. Burt, Mr.. Benn and
others.
But nothing Mr.. Gladstone can offer
will prevent the radical leaders imme-
diately upon the reaSSembling of parlia-
ment from showing their resentment at
their exclusion from Office. Fortunate
mnStraliSts explain tonight that the
name of Labouchere was one of the last
that Mr.. Gladstone presented to the
queen.
Nothing in Mr.. Labouchere's political
life is likely to cause him SO much re-
joicing as leading schsm destroying
the Gladstone government. He will
have ample opportunity for this in the
coming session when irate Liberals re-
fuse to crafty Mr.. Gladstone's passion
for home rule before everything.
