well prison ia 1867, by which Michael
Barrett and his fellow conspirators killed
twelve and lacerated 120 innocent people,
led up to the church disesta blishment bill
of 1869, and the land bill of 1870. Fol-
lowing up the premiers theory, the Par
nell party may assert with good face that
the attempts to blow up the Central
Police Station and the Town Hall al
Liverpool are simply forcible methods OF
calling the governments attention to the
necessity for prohibiting evictions. 1t is
certain, however, that these eutrages are
doing irrepsrable harm TO the Irish
cause. There was a shadow of An ex.
cuse for the Clerkenwell affair, and q
great deal to be said in defense of Allan
Clark and o. Brien who killed Sergeant
Brett in the prison van rescue at Man.
chester and Captain Maekey's attacks on
the M8rtello towers, at Queenstown n, and
his raids on gunsmiths' shops at Cork
during the 1867 troubles were laudable
enough from his point ofview, but for
the powder and dynamite affairs now &C.
curing there is no possible excuse. The
wrecking of the Liverpool Town Hall,
or for that matter, of the British museum,
would not shorten Englsnd's strong right
arm one span. A strong feeling of irri-
tation is growing everywhere and
should not be surprised to hear any day
Of an attack upon the Irish quarter in
Liverpool.
BLooDTHIRsTY METHODS.
It is needless to say that these out
RACES, combined with the anarchy exist
ing in many parts of Ireland, render it
more and more difficult Of Mr.. Gladstone
to carry the land bill. What the Par.
nellites hope to gain by thwarting him
passes comprehension. The tory leaders
make no secret of the course they would
adopt if called to power. AgrariAnism
would be summarily stamped out; the
league would be suppressed as an illegal
organization; public meetings would be
prohibited, aud Leicester, Connaught
and Munster at once placed under mar
tial law. / heard prominent tory ex-
claim the other day: "Oh, for week Of
Lord Stretha-ine at Cork" His lord
ship who, as Sir Hugh Rose, won grim
reputation during the Indian meeting by
blowing sepoys from the caanon's
mouth, was IN command of the forces in
the Cork district in 1857, when the
Fenians Of that city marched out 1880
strong one snowy morning in March,
spent whole day in besieging four DO
licemen in the Ballyknockane barraek,
and then returned to Cork and volun-
tsered ca msGSse as informers. Asked
by the castle authorities to report on the
state of his district. the old "Bengal
Tiger" as the Corkonians dubbed him,
briefly replied that he was ready to re-
duce the city to ashes at moments
notice, and to sweep the country from
Youghal to Baltry in two days. That
this would be the tory method OF Ire
land, the more bloodthirsty of their jour
mails frankly avow. The Marcus Of
Salisbury, who would be premier if Mr..
Gladstone Wss ousted, has tsunsed the
government for putting down the revolt
By Quaker measures, and how Mr.. Par
nell can think that his countrymen would
profit by change of masters is known
only to himself.
GLADSTONE LOSING PATIENCE.
Mr.. Gladstone has staked the EXIT
ence of the ministry upon the success Of
his Irish policy, and is doing all that in
d0mitable energy can do to push the
land bill through the House. but the
mad course Of the PArnellitss is terribly
10 him. The bill will not
satisfy the League-no bill, however rad
idal, could do that-for it lives only for
agitation, but reasonable home-rulers,
like Shaw, of Cork, Mitchell Henry, OF
Galway, OCSnnor Power, Of Mayo, and
hcCosn, of Wicklow, who have done
and dared more for Ireland ia the way
Of personal sacrifice than sll the fre-eat-
scs combined, are perfectly satisfied with
it. ObstructlOnists, however, seem de-
tsrmined to prevent its reaching the upper
house this session, and they strengthen
the hands of the tories by en-
couraging the bad work now going on in
Ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone is loosing patience, and
no wonder. Even the Spectator, which
has advocated a generous Irish policy, in
season and out Of season, for years, is dis
and in its issue, to-day, it ex-
claims, in wsy of despair: Is it Of any
use even to attempt to benefit people so
A BRIGHT SPOT IN THE SKY.
The news that the Pope has determined
to put stop to the proceedings OF cleri-
cal agitstors is the only bright spot in the
sky. Archbishop Croke, who was
Lacquer 8 week ago, has taken
the hint, and in his speech this weak at
and LssheI, veered around sew
ersl points and urged Parnell 10 accept
the land bill and trown down resistance
Of the law. It turns out that a number of
very loud-mouthed League orators have
been trying to get bought off with gov
eminent Office. O'Conner Power, the
other day, exposed a blatant Bsllinrobe
lawyer named Daily, who was willing to
keep silent on the wrongs of his country
for the crown prosecutership of Mayo,
and L understand some rich develop
ments Of the same sort will shortly be
given to the House by Lytton, liberal |
member for County Tyrone. Parnell's |
followers take Pope Hennessey and Will
lam Keogh for their model as Irish pat |
riots.
THE Nav FRENCH TARIFF.
1 have good authority for saying that !
,he French government will not recede
from its position in reference to the pro-
posed commercial treaty. By the new
French tariff it is expressly provided that |
Ill new treaties shall be based on the
principle of specific, as against dd
1aLorem duties. Under this system Eng
ish goods would be practically barred
,ut Of France For examples: Since the
Golden treaty was passed in 1860 the
French cotton and textile industries have
been revolutionlzed- The British manu-
acturers will have to cut prices fine TO
