Conducting the Campaign in the horth
With Skill.
DUBLIN, December 9.-The Land
League is conducting the campaign in
the north with considerable skill, modi-
fying its programme and proceedings to
avoid offending the prejudices OF the
people of Ulster. In that province there
is quite different tone in their speech
es irom that prevailing in other parts OF
the country, with a view OF conciliating
Prcsbyterians, Liberals and Orangemen.
The system of Boycotting has been ap-
piled 10 six detachments OF constabu.
larry in different parts OF Ireland.
Governmental Instructions to Magis-
trates.
LONDON, December 9.-Mr. Forster.
Chief Secretary for Ireland, has issued
memorandum 10 maglslrat.s, pointing
out that under certain acts OF Parlia-
ment, persons assembling armed or dis.
guised, or assuming the name OF any
society to the terror Of Her Majesty's
subjects, are guilty OF high misde-
meanor, rendering them liable to i'm
prsonment, as are also those who, by
threats, endeavor to compel any person
to quit employment, or publish or write
ANYTHING calculated TO incite a riot or
unlawful assembly. All magistrates and
constables are bound TO apprehend,
oppose and dispersc persons engaging
n these practices, and they can com.
mand all persons to assist them. Any
two magistrates can bind over persons
whom they have reason to suspect oil
even the intention to participate in un.
lawful proceedings or assembly, or in
case OF refusal 10 be bound over they
can commit them to the goal. They can
bind over any persons whom they believe
can give evidence relative to such pro-
ceedings, and il they refuse to be bound
over or to give evidence they can COM
nit them TO the goal.
Afraid t. Enforce the Law.
A,Dabln correspondent commenting
on Forsters memorandum says: The
truth is the magistrates, agents and land.
lords generally are panic stricken ard
don't venture /, enforce the law. Prose-
cution brought by the Attorney Gen
eral at Callinasloe and another IN Sligo
have broken down, which has had dis
couraging effect. There is also difficulty
about treating the Land League meetings
as unlawful assemblies. The magistrates
don't feel justified in regarding the
threat to Boycott rs coming within the
act as it don't imply violence.
DUBL!S, December 9.-The man who
shot and killed the bailiT attempting to
execute decree against him, near
Cookstown. county Tyrone, has been
arrested. His name is Graham.

ate charge in connection with the
speech.
LONDON, December SHAW Lefevre,
the new Commissioner OF Works and
Buildings, who is universally recognized
as holding the most liberal views on the
subject Of Irish land, and who has
stated that he was advanced TO his Fies.
ent post specially with the view to the
services he could render in the debates
on the land question, in his speech at
Reading last evening, said that
owership was the highest degree OF sc.
curity known to law, hut there were
MANY degrees OF security for tenants
short OF this, which might be capable
al more immediate applications Tor
the motion OF the class OF peas mt
proprietors must, he said necessarily
be slow unless We are prepared to ap'
propriate lands at our own price. Ii
would be easv TO show that this could
n0 be for the benefit OF Ireland. II
would multiply the evils OF absentee
ism five fold and would result in not
only fifth, but all the rent OF Ireland
being sent out oi ireland in the shape
of interest on purchase money. The
system OF extended ownership could
not last il it had its origin in confisca-
tinn AMI robbery. Whatever il done
must be with every regard for the rights
or compensation OF the landlord. he
said that he had no sympathy with the
plans Of in,imidating and the violent
method Of the land league. They had
set np a government in opposition 10
that OF the Queen, and this Was q
state OF things which could not be al.
lowed TO continue.
