Tile Effect of Parneirs Policy in IRE
lind.
LONDON, September 3o.-The Times, in a
leading editorial on the disorganizng effects
of ParneI's policy, says 1t would become
really formidable only il it should extend
all over Ireland. The Times does not be-
leve that it will do so. Nothing, it says,
will tend to paraIyze the anti-rent projects
more effectually than the improved ent in
harvest prospects which is reported from
the greater part Of Ireland.
THE SITUATION A GRAVE ONE.
The Pull IuU Gazette, in a leading arti-
Gle, comedies that the complaints Of the
Irish tenant-!armcrs are mostly genuine,
and that they are for the moment unable to
pay their rent, and that they believe in their
right to remain OH the land. "In every
event they are fresh from the eXhOrtations
of the most popular politician in Ireland
(meaning Mr.. ParneD to stick to their
homeSteads at whatever consequence. If
the general refusal 10 pay rent is followed
by wholesale eviction, this again will almost
certainly be followed bya series OF agrarian
murders, and unless the Irish executive is
prepared to support the landlords by mel-
sures amounting to little less than tie mill
tary occupation of large part Of the coun-
try the landlords will have to choose be-
tween virtually conceding tenants claims
to tixity of tenure and giving the signal for
an outbreak Of something hardly dstin-
eushable from civil war. The anti-tcnant
agitation is only one among other. symp-
toms OF the general unrest OF Ireland.
For moment it is the most urgent;
but even il the worst pinch OF agra
rian distress were relieved by uni
versal reduction OF rent, there would still
be much to disquiet us in the condition
of the country. The enthusiasm by which
Mr.. Parnel;s progress has been attended
has infinitely weakened the hands OF the
more moderate Homc-Pulers and embolden-
ed the Ultras. The troublcus prospect in
ireland is not really affected by the success
or failure Of any given scheme for oroani-
ling pressure upon the Government. The
present temper OF the Irish people and
their leaders concern us much more serious
v than any particular proposal for its man-
Hesitation, and while this temper remains
what it is (Seml-seditiouS among the people
and rccklessy inceG diary among the lead
ers) the situation must be grave one"

and Nicholas. the Czar'S brothers; the
Cars sons; the Grand DucheSses Marie

naent between France and Russia"
