SAD SIGHTS AT EvIOTIONS.
LIMERICK, Ireland, June Its sight to
watch evictions carried on with assistance OF
her majesty's troops. After Kennedy and his
family and household goods were turned out
of their home near this city, the door barred
and the police departed, a correspondent re-
turned to the spot where the eviction had tax
en- place, the mother and her six children were
walking around the ruins of their once happy
home. There was nothing between them and
the blue sky. Night was coming on and she
had no where to go. And thus they were left
without ray of hope to cheer them. The
COldstream guards and police proceeded to
the next tenant to be evicted, and as these mag
nifcent soldiers, the flower of her majesty IS
troops, filed down by the little cabin, one
could not resist calling to mind their
exploits in England's greatest wars, and COM
pairing them with their present service. They
certainly do not look as if they fancied their
work. A band with a green flag met the
soldiers here, but there was not the slightest
sign of hostility, except that not one drop of
water and not a morsel to eat would the in
habitants give the thirsty and hungry troops
ard police, as they passed through the coun-
try. The newspaper correspondents were,
however, received with welcome and were Of
fered the most generous hospitality. Milk,
eggs, fresh bread and butter, were furnished
them in abundance, and all recompense from
them firmly refused.
THE TIMES THUNDERS.
LONDON, June 4.-The/ Times editorially ar
raigns the leaders of the Land league and their
abettors, including Archbishop Croke and
Parnell, as having conspired to defy the law.
The article severely censures the archbishop
for his recent course in exciting the peasantry
to insubOrdinatiOn, and points out it is not
alone the land holders who suffer from terror
ism, but hundreds of thousands dependent up
On them
The United Service Gazette says 1t is prob
able the force of Goldstream guards in Dublin
will be augmented by brigade.
WHAT THE sTIMEs" SAYS.
The Times, in its leading article, says: We
have only to consider the condition of Ireland
and the temper of the Irish peasantry on the
one hand, and such speeches as those of
Archbishop Croke at Holy Cross and Parnell
yesterday on the other, to satisfy ourselves of
the completely of the Land League leaders and
abettors with what is now nothing more nor
less than conspiracy to defy the law. The
cry of the league is no longer a protest against
arbitrary evictions. It is now q lmoral
doctrine that tenant may refuse to pay what
he considers unjust rent, though he is
perfectly able to pay. Thus the agitation is
now revealed IN all its nakedness, of which
Archbishop Croke, an appointed minister of
religion, protesting peace and charity to all
men, says it is not revolutionary, not an ire
ligious movement, calculated to injure any
body. It is difficult to reach such words with
common patience. It is not landlords who
suffer under the cruel lawless terrorism,
but hundreds and thousands who
are dependent on them, such as
mortgages of rent charges, holders of joint
ures, ETC., all of whom are absolutely guilt
less. No word of sympathy for these hapless
victims has escaped the sacred lips of the min
lister of the gospel. Yet Parnell can cody ex-
hort the government to follow Archbishop
Croke's advice. The audaclty of Parnell in
repeating Archbishop Croke's advice in the
house of commons is simply astonishing.
"Let us see," said Archbishop Croke, "wheth-
er there will be that willingness on the part of
the people to submit quietly to the terms 'of
landlords or not" In other words
the government is eXhorted to leave the land
lords TO the mercy of a peasantry infamed by
reckless agitation, in order to prove what is
perfectly clear already, that they would not get
any mercy at all, to say nothing of justice.
Force may be no remedy, but when the law is
openly defied, or defiance justified as a move
ment calculated to injure nobody, it is neces.
sary before all to yindicate the authority OF
law.
AN ARREST AND RIOTS.

league, has been arrested under the coercion
