rovnov. Oct. 22.-The teleEraphic breakdown

of +be measures of repression. The arrest OF Dli-

ill-iudged manifesto of the League supplied tne "u-
ditional provocation required by the GOVERN
ment. and made the suppression OF the League
inevitable In this country the manifesto
Is regarded as suicidal and indefensiOle' uhless
the Leaguers knowing their game to be up
have determined to sink with their coors nailed 10
the mast. The non-paynent OF rent Is an hhpoS''-
BILE scheme and except where it appeals TO the GU

penniless agitatOrs.
BRITISH APPROVAL.
The Government proclamation suppressing the
League and guaranteeing the free exercise Of lawful
rights contains language that is particularly graft
fying 60 all parties in England The Government
has always hestated to act against the League
because the Ministers had frequently declared
it to be legal. Now that 1t compromises
itself by endeavorng by mercess intimidation to
confscate landed property, the Government, with
clear conscience, has determined to stamp 1t out
Archbishop Croes letter expresses tie views OF all
respectable Irishmen but it is singular that he does
not speak from religious point OF view. HIS con-
demnation derives its strongest support from
tie purely National approval which he
has so long given TO the League. Ihe

in Ireland In Dublin and the large towns respect
able people are not afraid to welcome the restora-
ton of order In the country the breakup of the
central authority of the League in Sackville-st is
already reducing "Boycotting." Many Boy
cotred" products have reappeared in the markets
The riots in Dublin aud Limerick were not political
but were purely organized by young ruilians
The attempt in Dublin to start sympathetic move
ment with Parns has ANONYMOUSLY collapsed
The indIscreton of Dwyer Gray and Mr. Dawson
in endeavorng to connect the riots with political
feeling and persuade Mr.. Forster to withdraw the
police was sgnally demonstrated by the window
smashing which followed their withdrawal and the
uuietude now maintained by their presence. The
trading classes are recovering courage and are ar
ranging meeting to support the Government
THE LAND COURT.
The Land Court has opened most satisfactorily.
The number of cases show that the tenantry appre-
ciate the Land Act OF course, Ulster
eager to apply to the Court and forming COM
binations to conduct their cases. Evidence of the
failure of the Land League intimidation is afforded
by the large number of applicants from Limerick
and the appeal of hundred tenants from the estate
of ParnelPs brother in Wicklow. The Land League
solicitor has temporarily suspended his cases. All
were cunningly selected from such property as was
let below Grifith's valuation, with the view of en-
trapping the Court into increase Of rent, and so
Justify an outcry against it. The Government
policy SO far has been highly promising.
There is no disposition shown by any party
in England to stint the full powers Of repres-
SION The only opposition, except among the Irish,
comes from handful of individuals styled the
Democratic Federation 1t is believed that the
suppression of the league amounts TO its extinction
1t may continue secret society, aud such
would be embarrassing, but it would forfeit the
support of the respectable classes, and incur the
condemnation Of the Church. Any reorganization
under another name such as the Tenants Union, is
provided against by the proclamation. The Irish
American contributors 10 an already enormous ex-
ohequer doubtless remember how previous secret
society funds have disappeared. 1t is dangerous
temptation to place unlimited means for secret pur
poses in the hands of penniless agitators
THE YORKTOWN COURTEsIEs.
The saluting of the British 1ag at York
town creates a deep feeling Of grateful sym
pathy. Every Englishman cordially echoes
the sentiment of President Arthur's proclama-
tion. Englishmen have naturally watched
the centennial celebrations, and have been struck
by the tact with which Americans have avoided Of
fence and the good taste and heartiness of their al
lusions to the mother country. American sympathy
is peculiarly acceptable at the present crisis Ii is
significant that any attempt in Irish quarters to
cite international difficulties, as IN previous agta
tions, is considered hopeless
THE ROYAL MEETING.
The forthcoming meeting of the Emperor of Aus
tria and the King of Italy. and the enthusiasm
manifested the event in both countries is con-
sidered an unpleasant circumstance for France
With Russia on good terms with Germany ard
Italy reconciled with Austria France is practically
isolated. 1t is believed that Gambetta has estab
lished a modas ririead with Bismarck, but the
North African aggression has left France without
single nation on whose friendship she can rely.
