The Chronicle complains of the giv of sseat in the cabinet to Arnold Morley when importent rural interests represented by the ministry of agri- ir, Buxton culture are left out. It thinks ually as worthy of office as Mr. Aisquith and r. Acland. The News says: “We consider it immaterial who the ¥ of Ireland is just now as long as Mr. Morley has the con- duct of the government of Ireland, but it is satisfactory know that Baron Houghton is great proms and as likely to go far in a career of statesmanship. The new government, so far as it has been ar: , has a good deal of youth about it. Messrs. Asquith, Acland and ‘Arnold Morley are examples of rapid but well-de- sorved elevation. The heaviest work will fall upon Mr. Gladstone, Lord Spencer, Sir William fernon Harconrt and John Morley as the inner council for drafting the home rule bill. “It can hardly be said that the new cabinet is not a duly representative one. Nor can the old complaint be made that the peers have had it all their own way.” The Freeman's Journal (Dublin) in an edi- torial article on the new government says: “If there is substance in the modern justly popular lord lieutenant of Ireland. fo @ gentleman and a scholar, of win- personal courtesy, with deep sympathy for Trefid'e national alten Wee ton is td to be active, distinguished and in his own country, endowed with political am- bition and ability and with wealth and per- sonal accom! ents that will enable him to au the ition with ity and success.
