LospoS, August 1.-THE Times this
morning says that it is not without
significance that Sir George Treyelyan'S
political promotion moves like his polit-
ical professions, in q circle. Baron
Houghton is a surprise, but he possesses
important qualifications for the, post,
and in spite OF the obvious disadvant-
age, which bespeaks public sympathy,
there is every reason to believe
that he will prove as efficient
representative OF the sovereign
as that mongrel, a home rule
viceroy, can be. Taken us whole, the
ministry can scarcely be expected to
display, with one or two exceptions,
that independence Of thought which
was formerly supposed to be an honor
BILE distinction Of liberal administra-
tions, 1t approaches closely Mr..
Gladstone's ideal of himself as the gov
eminent, and his colleagues as the chief
clerks, which he was unable to realize
when he had Independent colleagues
like Lord Harrington, John Bright, the
duke of Argyll and Joseph Chamber
lain. Putting Lord Rosebery aside, the
cabinet is not likely to have much in
fiuence on Mr.. Gladstone's policy.
The NeUS says: ave consider 1t i'm
material who the viceroy Of Ireland is
Just now, as long as Mr.. Morley has the
practical conduct Of the government OF
Ireland but it is satisfactory to know
that Baron Houghton lie regarded as a
man ofgreat promise and is likely ogo
far in career of craftsmanship. The
new government as far as 1t has been
arranged, has a good deal of youth
about il. Messrs. Asauith, Aclahd.
Arnold and Morley ate examples Of
rapid but well deserved elevation. The
heaviest work will fall upon Mr.. Glad
stone, Lord Spencer, Sir William Yer
non Harcourt and John Morley as the
inner council for drafting the Home
Rule bill. 1t can hardly be said that
tho now cabinet Is not duly repre-
sentative one. Nor can the old COM
plant be made that the peers have 1t
all their own way"
The Chronicle thinks that Mr.. Glad
stone selected the members OF his cabi-
net rather on the theatrical star COM
pany system. "Forces OF genius" it
says, fare with difficulty discernible,
but they are sound and faithful men
who. will stick to business and to the
leader in sunshine, and perhaps will
form as good ministry as the Premier
who is himself ministry OF all the tai
ents, could wish for, while he has to de-
pend upon vaciliating electorate for
heterogeneous majority" The Chronicle
considers a young Peer willing to say
"ditto" to Mr.. Morley better appoint
ment as Irish viceroy than Lord Bras
sey, whose sympathy with Ireland is
trife doubtful.
The Standard thinks Baron Houghton
old enough to have given evidence OF
the qualities essential to statesman.
Lord Rosebery's appointment, it says,
is evidence Of the conservatism with
which his more advanced admirers have
often reproached Mr.. Gladstone and is
warrant for predicting that Mr.. Glad
stones bark will prove worse than his
bite.
The telegraph announces that Lord
Salisbury in an unselfsh spirit will -ac-
cept no distinction from the crown ex-
cept the privilege OF wearing the Wind
sor uniform, which has only been grant
ed during the present reign to Lord
Melbourne, Lord Palmerston and Earl
Grew.
