According to a late London Mr. Dillon, the Irish leader, finds late in the fieid with his oppesition to the appointment ofa new commission to examine into the financia} relations exist- ing between Great Britain and Ireland. The despatch adds: If an amendment

| regar ding the subject had been moved to the address in reply to the Queen’s speech, the debate must have elicited from the
ffovernment some idea of the intentions as to the scope of the commission and_its probable com position The Opposition would thus have obtained some informa
tion enabling them to take a definite line of attack against the Governments’s pro- posels. As it is, the echeme of the Cabinet has been allowed to be matured in the dark, and its discussion has only been accorded when the Government could not help it, that is on the
Cabinet's proposals being House of Commons. There was something akin to folly in Mr. Dillon asking Mr. Balfour, the Government leader in the House, whether he would permit the House to discuss the whole subj-ct before the actual appoiotment of the commis

con ~ mission is, of course, largely Unionist, with some financial experts, whom the Conservative papers may cal! in lepe ndent
and impartial, but who are of the Sir David Barbour type. Sir David, who was @ member of the Isst commission, dif
fered from a majority of his colleagues in contending that if there was 2 grievance in Irish taxation it was due to the fact that the taxation upon the articles of common con- sumption fel] more heavily on the poor than on the ricb, a grievance which thev shared with the poorer classes of Great Britain. ihe Government at first intended to have only seven members constitute the com- mission. Urgent represertations from the Irish landlords, from the great brewers and other interests, will induee them to enlarge ithe membership.. The brewers,
who have great influence among the Unionists and contribute largely to the
party purse, fear thatthe suggested in- crease in the duty on beer to balance a
possible reduction in the may find support
duty on whisker, in th? commission. It beer was taxed according toits spirif value, the duty, instead of being, as at present, 2id.per gallon, wouid be about ls. 4d. The [rich contention i: that beer is unduly favored. Equalization would be a severe blow to the English beer drinkers but would be a questionable boon to tbe Irish whiskey drinkers.
