The London Times considers the policy to be
adopted on Irish questions. It says
II we are not prepared to abandon altogether the
exercise OF our functions must stop the develop
ment OF Irish demands. We cannot ex cuse our
selves from guilt allowing such mlschievous delu
atons to be propagated. II we leave 1t TO be IN
ierred that our legislation viii be limited only by
the demands OF the peasants Of Ireland we cannot
free ourselves from blame II contempt OF law ripen
into an outburst OF organized violence against au-
thorlty and order. We must declare reform In the
iano laws in the next session OF Parliament; but in
the meantime the authority OF the law must be
maintained and attractions thereof punished.
