1teadfastly to his Guildhall program. The

sR STAFFORD EoRTHCoTE's SPEECH
yesterday clearly implies that the Conserra-
nves intend to leave the Government to find
ttsown way OUT Of the pending difficulties.
The attitude of certain extreme Liberals Is
much more Important than Sir Stafford
Northcote's phtltudes. 1t Indicates con-
victton that they have carried their opposi-
ton to coercion too far. The Spectator
now urges that bill be passed
making intimidation to cause breacA of
contract penal offense, for which persons
should be tried without jury. adding that:

timtdation b be anv worse than larceny or
embezzlement since this intimidation no

Aodloro, aid cannot be said to be personally
popular, and hence It Is supposed that the
Land League must have issued secret orders
to his tenants to pay up In full, hypothesis
which would explain fully the remarkable

The League now absolutely controls Ire

Of all the comforting assurances to the con-
