Mr. G. H. Moore, Member for Mayo, and perhaps the

only avowed and determined Nationalist left in the House of Commons, died on Tuesday of apoplexy. Though rash and impulsive in speech, and devoted to a policy which would be most injurious to Ireland, Mr. Moore's death will leave a vacancy in Parliament not easily filled up. He really understood and sympathized with his countrymen, desired on most points the things they desire, and was affected by events or proposals as they are affected. If he approved a measure, it was seldom condemned by the people ; if he condemned one, it was sure to create more or less of- irritation. His attitude on the Land Bill had once or twice been patriotic, and Lis death adds one more to the many difficulties in the way of that measure.
