he had strengthened himself and his

along their northern frontier for pro-

idea Of building one great wall, which

caused by the Land Act, that we be-
lieve M. ParnelI might for the first
time since the Union, construct an
Irish Parliament within the Com
mons, submit all Irish proposals to
the 1913 Members, and then bring
them forward with the moral au-
thority of their acceptance by a ma
iority Of the Irish Representation.
The British Members would give to
proposals SO backed,more than a seri-
Gus attention, and unless they
offended distinct principals, they
would be very slow to reject them.
Immense improvements, including
several Of those suggested by Mr..
Davitt, such as new County and mu-
nicipal Government, the abolition of
grand %juries, the reform of the NJ a.
gistracy, and many other solid mea-
sures, might, as we believe, be car
riod in this way, and yet leave Mr..
Parneu free'to recommended pleasure
an agitation for Home-ruIe. He
would even increase the chances of
Home-rule, for he would show CON
cIusively what the English do not yet
believe, that, whatever the dangers
Of that scheme, an Irish Parliament
could legislate successfully for Ireland;
and this would be much gained. That
would be the programme which a
Grattan penetrated with a desire that
Irishmen should rule Ireland would
propose, but then that programme
would not Of itself ~injure England,
and it will nos, therefore, be attempt
ed. The Government, by a wise
mixture Of remedial and c0ercivo
legislation, has secured comparative
tranquility in Ireland but it has still
to pacify or to coerca the Irish Re-
presentation, and that, though not
the more important, VIII prove, we
fear, the more difficult operation of
the two.

to see what they can make Of their
new position. They have a bounti-
fuI, if not trimming harvest, which
will go to themselves, and not in
payment of dead arrears they have
more money at their own disposal
than they ever had and, except in a
few districts, the peculiarly future
looks lighter to them. They are i'm
pressed, moreover, by the last Coer-
cion Act, which amid many objections
able provisions, restores the. authority
of the law, and makes Of terrorism
for gain, a dangerous occupation.
They are, therefore, disposed to be
quiet, and accept the present situa-
ton as, at all events, a N0du8 0ivendi.
The outrages are becoming viSibly
fewer. The agitating Committees
are breaking up. The demand for
farms, which had nearly died away,
has, reports the Daily NeaOS Cores
pondent, suddenly and strongly re
viyed. The gentry are beginning to
think it safe to revive the hunts,
without which, in their judgment, life
is intolerabIy dull and the tradesmen
are no longer afraid of %boycotting.
The Catholic Clergy, who have
ducked under during the storm IN a
manner which, whatever the possible
excuses, we shall never think favour
able TO their repute for fidelity to
their Church, are raising their heads
again; and, above all, the represen-
tatiye men are altering their curse.
Mr.. Dillon, who represents the true
Separatists, and mean i~nsurrection,
if instruction is possible, has an
%nounced, in an address to his electors,
that he retires from public life Tor
the next few years. lie is i'll, he
says, which is true but one aus of
his illness is chagrin at the prospects
of his country, and the growing qui-
escence of his people, He sees no
prospect of action, and despises the
campaign of worry and inesse by
which action is to be replaced or SIM
ulated. We have a respect for MIR
Dillon, who, furious as he is, has in
him less of that element of peryersity
than most of his rivals, and is distinct
as to what he wants, but his depar-
ture means that the Irish barometer
is no longer fixed at stormy" So
also does the new programme which
Michael Davitt has submitted to Mr..
ParnelI. 1t looks on paper quite
formidable, but it is essentially a
pumped-up programme, lacking alike
the simplicity and sincerity which at
tract great masses. The mere fact
that it contains twelve clauses, of
which one is the Repeal OF the Union
and another the payment of Irish
MemL ers in london, n the aboli-
ton of the land laws and another
the Improvement of cottages, is fatal
TO it as an instrument of agitation.
Men will not revolt on behalf of a
Social Science Congress. The effort
to unite all "objects'' in one great AS
ISOLATION will only make that associa-
ton weak, by Introducing unman-
ogeable differences of opinion, and
Repeal and comfort cannot be heart
lily sought together. Repeal will be
formidable when it is the sole cry,
and the Irish have refused to make
, 1882-10-28

very different ways, retreat.
All this signifies that the remedial
measures have told, that the restora-
ton of strength to the law has told,
and that the means for a new agita-
ton are not Immediately forth
coming. That is satisfactory, If on
Iy because, if the agitation had con-
tinued, the English temper would
have given way, and the Government
would have been forced to try once
more the military rule, which so in
variabIy succeeds in securing every
thing except It's objects but the sa-
tlsfaction, will, we fear, be more for
the historian and the true friend Of
Ireland, than for politicians. The
Irish farmers do not want action, but
they will not object to talk, and for
all the calm in Ireland, in Parliament
the gale may be expected to rise
higher than ever. The popular Irish
BLENDERS viii never give UP their de-
lightful and prominent position as the
grit in he machine until their CON
siituencies compel them, and they
know precisely how to play that part
Some of them are perfectly sincere,
believing, in defiance of history, that
it is possible to worry Pharaoh with
out hurting him, till he lets Israel 60 {;
others are intent on keeping positions
which, as in Mr. Elealy's case, are
far superior to any they could have
reached without the Parliamentary
revolt and all alike are determined
to remain where all such men like to
be, en- eUjde8c2. An Irl>hman, like a
Frenchman a be devoted TO a cause,
but he wants the world to see, that,
without him the cause would not
succeed. The t'arnelIite Mombers
will, therefore, as we anticipate, re-
new their campaign against the
House Of Commons, and strive once
more to re-establish their tyranny
over debate. They Will represent the
Closure as an oppression, denounce
the Coercion Act and the Egyptian
Expedition as at once needless and
unjust, and pour upon the oars of the
House a flood of Ceases taken both
from Irish and Egyptian records,
which will make legislative progress
nearly impossible. They will fail,
because they will find that a subtle
change, due to the success abroad,
has passed over the Government and
the House of Commons, and they will
be met IN a different spirit from that
Of last Session; but they will
not, tor a time, we fear, perceive
that alteration. 1t is the misfortune
of Irishmen, in dealing with English
men as of EnqIishmen in dealing with
lrishmen, that the effect of experience
lasts too long, and that they cannot
overtake mental changes quickly
enough. 1t will take ten years to
convince Englishmen that Ireland
has ceased to be ga Catholic country"
in the sense of a country swayed byits
priesthood and it will take ten weeks
to convince the Parnellites that the
British Members are no longer pre-
pared to be patient with Obstruction.
We look forward, therefore, to peace
in ireland, broken, possibly by lso-
lated crimes, but punished crimes ;

Talk about bold bank burglaries, -
said member of the police force this
morning, ''the slickest steal ever heard
of was the robbery of bank down in
Rhode Island six or seven years ago. 1t
was a bitter cold night, and a night pa
trolman noticed dim light in the bank
window, and going up to the door
raped.
lis that you, patrolman?' asked voice
from within.
"Nes, was the reply.
'Step in aud get heat said the
voice from within. The patrolman step
ped inside and encountered a dapper
little fellow wearing green shade over
his eyes and pen behind his ear.
you're working late tonight" said
the patrolmau.
"Yes," said the dapper little fellow,
''Iye been detained tonight Strengthening
up accounts"
The patrolman warmed himself at the
roaring big fire that blazed on the hearth
and went out again on his beat. An hour
after the patrolman came that wav, and
still seeing the light through the window
raped again.

YES
Come in and warm yourself"
The patrolman again accepted the in,

'lts a bowling cold night" said the
man with the green shade over his eyes.
you bet, said the patrolman. So he took
another heat and returned to his beat.

to learn that his freside friend of the
night before had got away with some
100000 of the banks funds. "-Cleye-
