danger which looms beneath it is more
formidable than visible terror. This
fear is rather confirmed than allayed
by the military preparation Of the gov
ernment, and the arrival Of the first
battalion Of the Coldstream guards
and the order for two more regiments
Of troops, indicate the authorities
consciousness Of impending danger.
The Times says, in an editorial :
" 1t seems too plain that the Irish
government has already allowed the
reign Of lawlessness to assume d.
mensions it should never have reached.
Remedial legislation, which might be
proposed and carried out under better
circumstances, cannot be presented as
a bribe to purchase peace from high
waymen. To check lawlessness now
is difficult, but what is this to the
difficulty that must be experienced in
checking it hereafter if its develop
ment is not stopped. When Mr..
Forster comes before his colleagues,
it was determined Of them who have
hitherto opposed him must be newly
impressed with the responsibility Of
the situation. The futility of the
policy so far pursued has been demon
strated by bitter experience, and new
departure may well be recognized as
inevitable. 1t would be necessary to
pass an act to disarm the population.
aud the time that would be consumed
in passing the act would probably be
fa.al to the efficiency Of the measure
1t is possible that those who resisted
the application for the new powers
may now be compelled to acquiesce in
the assumption OF the powers by the
executive, with the understanding
that indemnity from the legislature
may be applied for at the first oppor-
tunity. 1t would be most unpatriotic
if the pride of apparent consistency
caused the minds of the ministers to
be shut against the evidence submitted
to them in favor of the adoption of
stringent action
The Standard, editorially, says.
"Summonses for the cabinet council to-
day were hurriedly issued yesterday.
1t is possible that tomorrow an i'm
meeting of parliament will be
announced. Forster has informed his
colleagues that without coercion he
declines responsibility for the govern
ment of Ireland"

typhoid Fever in naIifax.

HALIFAX, December 13.-Lieuten-
ant Ward, Of the Nineteenth regi-
ment, died last night of typhoid fever.
Lieutenant Hoare is also down with
it. The commandant of the troops
composing the former garrison left a
letter with the major when leaving,
in which it was suggested that if the
sanitary condition of the city was not
improved, it might become a question
for the consideration of the military
authorities whether Halifax should be
longer considered a garrison city.

CATTLE AND STOCK INTER.

Important Meeting Of a Congress.
siO1RI Committee In New
York.

New YoRK, December l3.-Sevefal
informal meetings of the members Of
the house agricultural committee
from the cattle raising and stock breed
ing states of the west have been held
to consult as to the best measures to
be adopted, in the nature of national
legislation, to arrest the spread Of
plesro pneumonia, which not only
causes an immense aud annually in
creasing loss from its ravages among
cattle, but threatens to exclude them
from foreign markets. There have
already been referred to the commit
tee a large number of petitions and
memorials urging prompt action on
the part of congress, among them that
of the National Grange, which at its
recent session in this city, with rep
res,,natives from thirty-one states, pre-
pared memorial urging congress to
enact such Jaws as will not only arrest
the spread of this contagion, but ef-
fectually extermiHate it from the land.
On motion of Representative CNsyell,
of Wisconsin, the house of represent
atives ordered to be printed in the
Record, and referred to the committee
on agriculture, the resolutions recent
" adopted by the convention of live
stock growers of the United States,
held at Chicago.
In view Of the Importance Of imme-
diate action, Chairman Cavert has
called a meeting Of the agricultural
committee for Wednesday morning,
when earnest consideration Of this
subject will be at once entered upon
TO the exclusion for the time being Of
everything else.
Two or three bills, introduced at
the last session, are nov before the
committee. None Of them, however,
seem to meet the entire question.
Constitutional questions Of grave
Importance are involved, and the COM
mittee are fully impressed with the
difficulties which attend the adoption
of any national legiglation sufficiently
comprehensive to embrace the entire
subject without infringing upon the
constitutional rights Of several states.

shall be erected the capital invested in

The sum is equal in value to all thea

LONDON, December l3.-A Dublin
dispatch to the Times says: 1T is
hardly correct to say that anarchy
prevails in Ireland, for there is very
distinct and potent government which
is rapidly superoeding the imperial
government, and is obtaining ascend
ency. 1t rules with an iron hand
and promptitude which enforceS in
slant obedienco. It's code is clear, its
execution resoiuts, its machinery
complete and its action uniform
There is government de facto and a
governmental jure, the former WELD
ing power which is felt and feared,
and the latter, exhibiting only pomp,
buD little reality of power. The
former is a terror to we'll doers, the
latter, ne terror to evildoers The
law of the land league Is becoming the
law of the land, and while the Law Of
the state is costly and to a large ex-
tent suspended, the new law is effect
ually administered cheaply and con-
veniently. The league courts are
springiug up in various places, and
the people are instructed to have
their disputes decided by such courts,
and to 60 no myre to the sessions.
The local magistrates in tn. west Of
ireland have lately been surprised to
find no cases brought before them ex-
cept by the police, who have been fol
some time advised to take this course
but they are now beginning to act
thereon, as a rule. The penalties
which the said courts have power o.
inhicting are regarded with more
dread than those imposed under Che
statutes. Another function Of tht
new government, that Of the lsvyinl
Of taxes, is most effectively fulfilled
| No rate assigned by law IS half al
promptly paid as tho tax which tn,
league imposes. Licenses to sell a
fairs and in markets are required b.
tho new government, and their pro
ductiop is enforced by summary pro
cess. The only element wanting t,

New York,s Grand Exhibition.

It begins to look as If the grand in
ternational exhibition Of 1888, which
was to eclipse every exhibition that
has ever been given, the Philadelphia
Centennial in particular, was going to
fade into thin air. A meeting OF the
prof ectors was held last week and there
was great deal of talk and nothing
else. Some Of the original New York
ers of means and influence, who took
h old Of the matter in the beginning,
are now arrayed against the scheme,
because q set OF men who have no Inn
portant place in New York's household
have taken a lead in the affair and
constituted themselves directors. 1t is
recognized on all sides that to make a
success of the exhibition there must be
an effort in which all shall take part.
II the pickering continues the affair
might as we'll be given up. An appeal
is soon to be made for subscriptions,
but have as yet heard Of no one anx-
ious to subscribe to an enterprise put
forward in a sort Of half hearted way.
Five million dollars is the sum wanted.
The New Yorkers had one taste Of an
International exhibition, which makes
them shy of putting money into another
such affair.
