SWELLING TIDE OF EMIGRATION.

Much uneasiness is caused by the steady stream of emigration which is settino in from the west and south. Night after night the Dublin wharves are crowded by young, stalwart men and well-dressed women of the pensal.t class, taking pasgaoe to Liverpool, there to embark for the United State 3 and Canada. The numbers which last week were covered by tens, are this week up to the hundreds, and before the season is well advanced thousands will have left this country for the New World. They are all a class of men and women who are a loss to the country they leave and a great gain to the land that gets them. THE DUKE OF ARGYLU'S KESIGNA A cable special to the "Tribune" tram London says: The Duke of Argyle's resign a . tion was for fear that the Land bill would extinguish the rights of ownership, g e represents the old school of political economy in regard to land tenure, and cannot accept the new principle that land has no sanctity beyond the reach of Parlia ment. His chief objection relates to the provision relative to free sale. He was careful to withhold his icsignation till after Gladstone's explanation of the provision of the bill. Three months ago it was known that the Duke and two other Minis, ters were dispoaed to break away. It j 8 supposed that the other two are now recon. cilcd to the measure. Lord Carlingtord' who succeeds the Duke of Argyle, is a Whig, but his acceptance of the privy s es j places an expert on the Irish question in the Cabinet. He is as sweeping a reformer in regard to Ireland as Spencer. The Duke of Argyle's secession is regarded by th e Tories as a proof of the revolutionary tendency of the Land bill. 3
