Irish Land TrOnbIes.
LONDON, Oct. 1st.-The Times,
on the disorganizing effects of Par.
nelPs policy, says it would become
really formidable only if it should
extend all over ireland. The Pail
Mall Gazette says that the com
plants of the Irish tenant farmers
are mostly genuine; that they are
for the moment unable to pay theil
rent, and they believe in theii
right to remain on the land. If q
general refusal to gay rent is fol-
| lowed by wholesale eviction, this
will almost certainly be- followed
by series of agrarian murders
and unless the Irish executive IL
prepared to support the landlords
by measures amounting to little
less than military occupation of 6
large part of the country. the land
lords will have to choose between
virtually corceding the tenants
claims and giving the signal for ar
outbreak of something hardly dis
| tiDguishable from civil war.
The anti-reut agitation is only
one among many other symptoms
of the general unrest in Ireland.
For the moment it is most urgent,
but even if the worst pinch of the
agrarian distress was relieved by a
universal reduction OF rent, there
would still be much disquiet, as in
the condition of the country the
enthusiasm by which ParnelPs
progress has been attended has in
finitely weageued the hands of the
more moderate Home Rulers and
embOldened the uitras. Among its
first results was somewhat too pre-
eipitate proposal to assem- BILE 4
National Convention. The fate o
this particular project is at present
uncertain, but the agitation upon
which the more violent section Of
the Home Rulers have entered
will, in one shape or another, pro
duce its inevitable result upon the
party generally. The troublou;
prospect in Ireland is not really af'
fected by the success or failure Of
any given scheme for organizing a
pressure upon the government. The
present temper of the Irish people
and their leaders concerns us much
more seriously than any particular
proposal for it's manifestation while
this temper remains what it is
semi-seditious among the people
and recklessly incendiary among
the leaders-the situation must be
a grave one, whether the Conven
| tiOn ever meets or not. The ole
statute which prohibited a Con-
ventIon in Ireland has been re-
pealed.

SIMLA, Oct. lst.-Many persons
here regard the Ameers arrival In
the British camp as an astute
move on his part to foster the be-
lief that he is innocent ofcomplici-
ty in the murder of the British
Envoy at Cabul. On the other
hand, the officers express conf
dence in his entire innocence. The
advances of the British forces con-
tinues. The Ameer accompanies
