GLADsTONE's GAME.
Land Law viii be Enforced With
Strong Hand.

LONDON, November 1O.-GladStOne in
a speech at Guild Hail, last night, de-
clared the law will be enforced with
lirmnesS and decision in Ireland. It's
enforcement has been entrusted to those
agents WHO have already earned title
to the gratitude of their cOuntrymen by
the courage and exemplary patience
with which they performed their duties.
The Times says: This emphatic state
ment may serve as warning to those
tenants who are being tempted to yield
even temporarily to the no rent policy.
We understand the practical difficulty
engaging in the conflict, with a large
body of Irish tenantry, is to be met, if
occasion arise, by taking one by one the
counties in which resistance to rent
may be organized, and by using for the
enforcement of the law the whole power
of the executive. The landlords, if as
sured the Government would strenu-
OuSiy support their legal rights now
that the last semhlance of Injustice is
removed, may be called upon in certain
districts to postpone their demands un--
til the Tecaltitrant tenants are reduced
to submission elsewhere. 1t is plain,
thus, the law will be etfectually vindi-
Gated. Those who have time to reflect
probably may profit by the exemplary
punishment of their fellows.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting
on the mplimentary allusiOn at the
Guild Hall banquet to the Irish admins
tratiOn of Forster, says: I'VE have to
pay for the degree of order that has been
secured by deepened disaffectiOn. it
would be a great mistake to suppose
only FenianI and rebels resent the
work Forster is doing. Professional
classes are deeply incensed at the
ScandalOuS injustice, such as shown in
the case of DR.. Kenny"
Lord Granville, in that part of his
speech at the Lord Mayors banquet in
which he dwelt on the friendly feeling
existing between America and England,
said: Il have 1t on excellent authority
that not only native Americans but Irish
of the better class in the United States
are almost to man on that side of the
great contest i'll Ireland on which
Forster is engaged"
Lord Granville said with reference to
Egypt that though difficulties had aris-
en- and might again arise, he did not
think, in view of the disposition of
France, with whom England was Coop.
Grating in the policy of advising the
Khedive to introduce reforms to better
the condition of the people, there was
any reason to fear they would not be
successfully dealt with. The Govern
ments policy towards Egypt was entire,
ly directed to her prosperity and free
dom. They attached the Importance to
the union with Turkey as a means of
protection against foreign aggression
from whatever quarter.
There were eight more arrests in Ire
land. The tenants of FetherstOn and
the Earl of Buckinghamshire declare
they Will not pay rents i'll consequence
of the refusal of the 10 per cent rGduc-
tiOns.
At the first sitting of the Land Com
missiOners at ClaremOrris to-day, though
only four cases were presented, it is be-
yOnd question that even in Mayo, motor
iOus for Its advanced views on the land
question: the land act will be accepted
almost universally.
