The Hon. Mugh Holmes ON the
Rights of the Government.

DUBLIN, December g. United Ireland
publishes a legal opinion given by the
Right Hon. Hugh Holmes, Attorney
General OF Ireland, to the government
as to Its right TO suppress the new
movement of the Irish National
League, which aims to beat the land
lords by having tenants deposit with
q trustee for tender such sums below
the demanded rants as the tenants be-
lieve fair and are able to pay. The line
of action which the landlords proposed
to have the government adopt to crush
out this form OF resistance was to ar
rest every person who should act as
trustee, thus rendering the leagues
plan OF paying rent futile, the land
l ords' agents being, Of course, declared
from accepting tenders below the
landlords figures. Attorney General
Holmes says men have legal right to
act rs trustees for tenants, as proposed
by the league, and the government
has no right 10 arrest them for 30 act
ing. Mr.. Holmes also advises the
landlords to seek some'method of get
ting their moneys from tenants which
will not involve government assist
ance.

MADRID, December 2,-Spain, after

hostile spirit Of the German military
authorities, has finally succeeded in
Inducing Prince Bismarck TO abandon
