called to meet Decembcr for dispatch of busi-
ness, we may assume that the cabinet are nm
decided regarding the question Of an early ses-
sion. The policy of postponing coercion. If
possible, until modification of the present
system OF land tenure can be tried as q reme-
dy for the prevailing agitation and discomfort.
has ontweighed in the judgment of the minis
try arguments which presented themselves in
behalf of immediate action. The country will
not be disposed to complain of this decision
The present conjecture is exceedingly favor
able for dealing with the land question, and a
conciiiatory policy onght not to be marred by
precedents OF suppression of civil liberties.
but while accepting the governments decision
as wise and statesmanlike, we cannot spare the
hope that any land reform, however conpre-
hensive, can possibly obviate the necessity for
coercive legislation. The desires and aspire.
tions of the Irish national party extend far
beyond any alteration of land tenure.
They involve demands inconsistent with
pire. The fact that these de-
mands are such as Great Britain never would
consent to accept under compulsion, consti-
tutes no reason why we should not remove any
plain, but when we have done all that legisla-
tion can effect, we must assert the authsrity
OF the land, and the supremacy Of the Union
That such assertion can be made without more
or less prolonged curtailment of the liberties
of Irish people is more than past experience
allows us to expect" The Observer Ia a mod
crate liberal newspaper.
