English Press Comments ON the Man.
ifesto.
LONDON, Oct 10. The Post says we con-
slider the issue of manifesto by the League is
a direct incentive to civil war.
The Standard says war to the knife is pro-
claimed explicitly So far there is no finch.
ing on either side.
The Daily Telegraph says nothing can be
more explicit than the determination of the
League to maintain fierce conflict with the
government.
The Times says it would be unwise to take
the manifesto too seriously or too literally.
Irishmen habitually say a good deal more
than they mean. There is suspicious hol-
lowness in its ring of defiance. and conscious
ness of real defeat in the very audacity of its
reckless and impracticable connsels.
DUBLIN. Oct. 10. The Freeman's Journal
commenting on the manifesto of the league
says: We foresee dire confusion and ruin
to individuals and possible strife and blood
shed. However the opinions may differ as
to the propriety and legality of advice, tend
cred to the people by the imprisoned leaders
of the league, there can be no difference as
to the eloquence and ability in which the case
of the league is stated. We do not believe
that tenants will follow the counsel not to
pay rents. We believe better and wiser
spirit is springing up. There is shown in
many districts an extreme desire to terminate
the iruitless controversy. We have no proof
yet that the land act will not be carried out
otherwise than in the most honest way.

DUBLIN, Oct. 10. During the rioting al

gers in the train of cars attacked, were
