LONDON, September 28.-A cores
pondent Of the Times, writing from
Dublin, says that the murder of Lord
Mountmorris has created feelings of
alarm little short of panic among all
respectable classes. Party differences
are for the time discarded in the pres
ence Of a common and imminent dan
ger. 1t is said on all sides with equal
dependency and bitterness that there
is no longer any security for lite or
and that nobody can feel
safe who ventures to assert the rights
or discharge the duties connected
with the possession, occupation or
Of land, if such acts con-
flict with the interests or prejudices
of those with whom he has to deal.
The country is fast drifting to an
archy,
The arm Of authority seems par
alyzed, and the executive ptterlyhelp-
less, although at present the panic is
felt most keenly by the land owners.
Il is shared by the employers of
labor, who see the growth of refrac-
tory spirit among Ihe subordinate class.
The scene of the last murder Is in tbe
district which is thevery center of the
land agitation, and is the result of
cOmmunistie conspiracy of the worst
type. 1t is idle to pretend that tho
was not agrarian. 1t is in
vain that land agitators now repudiate
all responsibility for the crime. Let
them unteaeh, if they can, the lessons
that for the last eighteen months they |
have been impressing upon the ignor- !
ant and excitable people. Let
them restore, if they can, the
moral sense they have depsaved, and |
tho conscience they have deadened
Let them eBdeayor 70 revive the prin-
ciples of honesty and instinct of hu-
manity, which they have helped to
stife by appeals to base passions Of
cupidity and revenge the country and
they will never hold the agitators ac |
countable for atrocities which have
been thenatural result iinAammatory |
language which they have delivered
and pernicious doctrines they have
taught in any place where they could
erect a platform and peaceable and
well disposed people are now alarmed
and anxiously look for some action on
part of the government.
