The efforts of;the Government are now bent
upon the determination Of the Ladies' Land
League. This organization, as yonr readers
will :recollect' sprung up just before
the original league was pounced upon.
Since then the ladies, unawed by
the tulminahons OF Archbishop McCabe,
have perfected their methods of carrying on
the agrarian agitation, and are now as formi-.
dable as Mr.. Parnell ever was. Tie Govern
ment, So 1t is announced in the, Dublin cor
respondence of the Iinlcs, which is
thoroughly in accord with the Castle, has
made up its mind to break up: the
Ladies league, but even if Mr.. Gladstone
succeeds in doing so, do not see how it
strengthens his position either in Ireland or
in this country. In Ireland the policy Of
the Ministry is H. -

by the landlords and Land -Leaguers. In En-
gland every man not devoted to the worship
Of Mi, Gladstone clearly recognizes that his
policy, first Of encouraging agrarian asita-
tfon and then of quelling it by Rus
sian appliances, has been : most disas-
trous- Still, Mr.. Gladstone seems to
bear a charmed life as politician.
What would be denounced in Disraeli is ex-
cused in the Wizard of Uawarden, aud peo-
pie give him credit in his Irish policy for
being unfortunate and in his home or En-
glish hpo1icy for being inspired. There are
