of labor men, ParneIIites and anti-Par-

barrassed position of his life. and are
determined to give him every opportun-
ity to get there.
Lord Roseberry will, in all probable.
lty, have the direction of foreign affairs.
Mr. Gladstone could make no selection
more satisfactory to the general public,
regardless of party distinctions. There
is strong faith in Lord Roseberry's de-.
vOtlon 10 the foreign interests of the
empire and confidence that he would
make vigorous stand against the ag-
gressionS of Russia. His connection
with the ROthschilds is an assurance
that he will not be favorably inclined to
RUSSIAN Establishments. and it is also
an assurance that he would take no
step calculated to imperil the peace of
Europe, and thereby endanger the
great Interests which the Russians have
involved in the maintenance of peace.
Ii it is true, as reported, that Rt. Hon.
George Shaw-Letevre is to be chief

NatlOnallStS themselves could not have
made choice more satisfactory to

able that Shaw-Lefevre was suggested
by Justin Mccarthy at the conference
with Mr.. Gladstone. For Shaw-Le-
feyre himself it is difficult to see how
the situation can be otherwise than en-
barrassing. He has been an earnest,
enthusiastic champion of the evictedi
tenants. and assailant of the Irish land
lords. He has cOnducte

with his pen and on the platform, going
further than any other Englishman of
prominence in upholding the methods
of the plan of campaign, and the utter,
ances which brought Irish leaders to
prison. AS chief secretary for Ireland
he will have existing laws to administer
until they are repealed, and he can en-
force them only by eating his own
words. On the other hand, if he gives
free rein to the Irish extremists. and
permits the tenants to play ducks and;
brakes with the property of the land
lords he will expose himself and Mr..
Gladstone to severe criticism on the
part of the Conservatives.
The Times holds that the Unionists
are amply strong enough TO prevent Mr..
Gladstone from carrying revolutions
ary measure, and can afford to wait un-
til his Heterogeneous following is dis
solved by international conflicts and
rivalries, and until the incompetence of
the ministers, crippled by every variety
of impracticable promise, has been eX-
hibired to the world. Nine Parnellites
will be sufficient to prevent transactions
between the GladStOnianS and anti-Par-
nellites, who, obliged to maintain their
of all English parties, will
be forced to refuse anything short of
ParnelPs home rule, which, if Mr..
Gladstone ventures to propose, will
break up the English Liberals.
The Times confirms the information
that Lord Salisbury will not resign until
the debate at the opening of parliament
compels Mr.. Gladstone to dissolve his
policy.
