the Government Rumor that
Victoria has Recommended
Resort to Coercion.

want Of employment throughout the coun
try, owing to the desinclination OF ths
landlords to lay out money. At severa
meetings recently held, farmers were sum
moned to give employment to the laborerr

THE SITUATION VIEWED BY THE "TInEs.'
LONDON, December 1.-THE Tires, in
leading article on the Irish question,
says: The followers Of the government
are embarrassed and for the most part do
not know what to say, while few
are bold enough TO express their
regret at the line their leaders have
pursued. Whitbread, one Of the most
respected Liberals in the House
Of Commons, speaking OF Bedford last
night, described boldly the reign Of
terror that has left no honest ealing safe
in large part Of Ireland, and ayowed his
feeling that the cad time had come when
the government might be compelled to
use coercion. There had been o
liberal government before the present
government that had been embarrassed by
the Irish difficulties, but they have not
been slack TO do what they could 10 assert
the authority Of the law. The contrast be-
tween the spirit otthose times and the spirit
prevailing now is little 70 the credit Of the
government, or that OF the present gener-
alton. One OF the worst evils consequent
upon the governments attitude Is the et-
feet It must have on the popular reception
in Ireland OF their remedial legislation.
II ia imperatively necessary that this leg
islatien should be received 90 q satislac-
ton OF justice, but 1t Is too probable that
It will be received as concession to
the lawlessness with which the
did not venture to
grapple. II the arbitrary demands are
not granted in the form in which they
have been made, 1t will still be said that
yha. Is given is the result OF the demon
stration Of the irresistible power Of the
people determined to have their own
way. The most feeble and foolish notions
will thus be confirmed in the brain Of the
Irish peasant. The shortcomings Of the
Government thus threaten us with re.
currence OF difficulties in the future, for
their conduct will encourage repetition
OF the tactics with which they have not
ventured to grapple.
