IRELAND.
PlacardiD: tne Manifesto-'No Rent" tho
WaIchWQfd.

The Land League mailed copies of it's
manifesto and placards containing only the
words "No rent" to every Land League
branch. One hundred and ten cases have
been entered for a hearing in the land
court, which opens to day.
The League manifesto reminds the peO-
pie that their ancestors, though without
leaders, abolished the payment of tithes,
and that it is as lawful to refuse to pay rents
as it is to receive them. Against the pas
sive resistance of the entire population
military power has no weapons, and it is no
more possible to evict than to imprision
the whole nation. The funds of the league
will be poured out unstintedly Cor the evict:
ed and eXilcd. Our brethren in America
may be relied upon to contribute as many
millions as they have already contributed
thousands. One more heroic effort will
destroy the cursed system of laudlordism.
The Freeman's Journal, commenting on
TIC manifesto of the league, says: We
foreSee dire confusion and ruin to individ-
uals, and possible strife and bloodsled.
However opinions may differ as to the
propriety and legality Of the advice ten
dered to the people by the imprisoned
leaders Of the league, there can be no diff
ference as to the elOquence and ability i'll
which the case of the league is stated.
The Irish Times says: We do not believe
that tenants will follow the counsel not to
pay rents. We believe that better and wiser
spirit is sprinsing up. There is shown in
many districts an extreme desire to termi-
nate the fruitless controversy. We have
no proof yet that tho land act will not be
carried out otherwise than in the most
honest way.

Longworth Daims, who recently inner

Quoted one fifth of the rent OF his tenants
and promised to reside upon the estates
himself and to consider further reduc-
