GLADSTONE ON THE ENFORCEMENT OF TIL
LAW.
LONDON, Nov. 10.-Gladstone, in his speech
at Guildhall last night, declared the law had
been enforced with f1rmness and decision ir
Ireland. Its enforcement has been entrusted
to those agents who have already earned 6
title to the gratitude of their countrymen by
the courage and exemplary patience. with
which they perform their duties. The Times
says this emphatic statement may serve as 6
warning to those tenants who are being tempt
ed, even temporarily; to the 'no rent
policy. The practical difficulty of engaging
tenantry may be met if occasion arise, by
taking one by one the counties in which re-
sistance to rent may be organized, and by the
enforcement of the law with the whole power
of the executive. Landlords, If assured the
government will strenously support their le
| gal rights now that the last semblance of in
justice is removed, may be called upon in GER
tain documents 10 postpone their demands
until recalcitant tenants are reduced to sub
mission. Where it is plain this law will be
effectually vindicated, those who have time to
reflect will probably profit by the exemplary
| punishment of their followers.
Eight arrests are chrOnicled in Ireland. Ten
ants Of Featherstone and Buckinghamshire re-
fuse to pay rents in consequence of the refu-
| sal of the Is Per cent. reduction.
FoRsTER's ADMINISTRATION.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting on the
complimentary allusion at the Guildhall ban.
quet to the Irish administration of Forster,
says: "We have to pay for the degree of or
der that has been secured by depeened disaffec-
tion. 1t would be great mistake to suppose
that only Fenians and rebels resent the work
FOrcfar is dOinn Professional o1ossaa ORC
deeply incensed at scandalous injustice, such
as is shown in the case of DR.. Kenny"
Lord Granville, in that part of his speech at
the lord mayors banquet, in which he dwelt
on the friendly feeling existing between
America and England, said : ~ have it on
excellent authority that not only native
Americans but the Irish of the better class
contest in Ireland, in which Forster is en-
gaged.'
THE PRESS ON GLADsToNE's SPEECH.
The Times says: "Yesterday's cabinet
council is not the first of series in which
the mighty controverted questions of policy
will have to be debated and determined. It is
understood the cabinet will not be convened
again for sometime to come, unless an uneX-
pected exigency presents itself. Wei may, there
fore, infer that the attitude of the government
upon tne lrlSn question remains unmOved and
immovable. Foster will return to Ireland
with no restraint upon his executive author
ity."
The Neacs says: "Gladstone's warning to
recalcitrant tenants did not need a cabinet
council to give it effect, and there is no reason
to believe Ireland occupied any unusual at
tention."
THE LAND ACT IN MAYO.
DUBLIN, Nov. 10-The first sitting of the
land commission occurred at Clare Morris, to-
day Though only four cases were presented,
it is beyond question that even in Mayo, no.
torlous for its advanced views on the land
question, the land act will be accepted almost
universally.
AGREEMENT RATIFIED.
The land commission has ratified the agree
ment between Miss Knox's agent and her ten
ants at Ballina, by which rent of ELS is reduced
to sS 10 shillings, slightly over the poor law
valuation. Cther causes on the same estate
were settled on similar basis.
