me LONDON "TistEs'" CORRESPONDENT
ON THE SITUATION.
loypoy, Dec. ia dublin dispatch to
pa Timex snys: 1T Is hardly correct to say
hAa'arcly prevails in ireland, for there Is
ayety distinct aisd potent government which
b.apllly s,lWrsullng the Imperial Govern
utnt, aud Is obtaining tho asccntlellcy. 1t
rules with 1T, Iron hand anil n prolnptltude
which enlnrces instant obedfencc. It's codo
hecar; It's executive rcsolute; Its machinery
complete, Md its action uniform. There Is n
Government do faeto, and Government do
1ure-tAe former welding power which Is
felt and feared. Nntl tho latter exhibiting only
Iamp, and but littlo reality OF power. rho
former Is n terror to wolt-docrs; tic latter no
terror to cyi'.tocrs. THO Inv Of tic Land
League Is becoming tho law Of tho lnlld, alld
sh!Ic the law Of tho Stato Is costly andto d
luse extent
SUSPENDED,
hs new Inv Is administered chcaply and
onFeaiently. League courts aro sprlngiug
upin various places, and tho people arc i'll
,t1uetcl to hayo their disputes decided by
nth courts, md to 20 no mora to sessions,
qoloca' Magistrates III the west Of ireland
asYe lately been surprised to find no cases
aought before them except by police, Tile
people hayo beon for some time advised to
ako this courso, but they are now beginning
10 net thereon, As q rule the penalties
Salch said courts have tho power Of infllct-
hss arc regarded with more dreal t1lan thuse
Imposed under the statutes. Another func-
tonof tho new Government, TINT Of lcyying
etaxes, Is most effectively fulfilled. No
unassigned by law Is half rs promptly mil
tho tax which tho League imposes.
Licenses to sell at fairs md in tho markets
neteluired by tho now Government, aid
helr production IL enforced by summary
process. Tho ouly clement wanting to con-
satutc tho new Government body Of the
country Is
A STANDING Army,
setsho materials for olle ,.re ut lla1tl aud are
bahg fitted for llso when callca upon.
Aaowledga ofthts fact creates deeper n1arnl,
BECAUSE with an armed and disaf1ected popu-
a1!on asonnd them tho loyal subjects OF tho
vaeen IN many places believe That the dan;
sef whlcMlcs beneath 1t Is more formidable
@aa tho yisiblo terror. This fear Is rather
soaHFmcd than allay@l by the military prop
aat!ons Of tho Government, and tho arrival
