Redmond Threatens Retaliation.
LONDON, Nov. 29--Tne Times says the anti
rent campaign in Ireland has been too long al
lowed headway. The government will not be
able to defeat it merely by disarming its astute
authors and violent advocates but they can in
sure victory over the movement by steadily'car
rying out the desires of the courts.
The Standard opposes the early summoning
of Parliament for the purpose of discussing
changes in the rules of procedure. 1t says the
discussion would occupy almost the whole of
the session, and declares that there are many
measures awaiting action which deserve pre-
cedence and against which no obstruction is
likely to be practiced. "Under the circum-
stances the Standard says Ito call Para
ment any earlier than usual, and appropriate the
private members days at the beginning OF the
session. would be an act of unprecedented rigor
and of more than doubtful generalship."
Mr.. Gladstone declines every request to speak
until Parliament reassembles. He has sent let
ters to several Of mis- colleagues stating his pro-
gramme for the coming session. He approves
an immediate challenge to the government to
state its Irish policy in the debate upon the ad-
dress, although he expects that the Unionists
will maintain their adhesion to the government.
Afterward he will assist in an effective settle
mens of the procedure question.

moned meeting of the citizens of Dublin to

governments tyranny towards the Irish National
League"
John Dillon will defend himself in the case
brought against him by the government The
Right Hon. Hugh Holmes, Attorney general of
Ireland, and John G.. Gibson, Solcitor-general,

Fifty prisoners charged with being implicated
in 'moonlighting" in Kerry and Clare arrived
to-day at Cork, escorted by a large force of po-
lice. They will be tried at the Munster assizes.
Upon their arrival at the railway stations in
Cork the alleged ''moonlighters" received an
ovation from the great crowd that had assem-
bled Commoner OConnor called for cheers for
the prisoners, and they were given with will.
Commoner Redmond, speaking in Dublin to-
night said that if one hair of Dillon's or
OBren's head was injured, the Irish people
would know how to avenge them selves for the
outrage.
In an interview to-day, Mr.. O'Brien said he was
of the opinion that the executive would defeat
themselves in trying to stem the tide of opinion
in favor of reduction of rents Even General
Butler declared in favor of produce rent. The
government, he said, were playing the game Of
bankrupt landlords whose estates were so deep
ly mortgaged that it was impossible for them to
meet their engagements unless they exacted full
rents. He feared the governments action would
lead to troublous times. but he was confident the
English people would see the justice of the
claims of the Irish peasantry, and that the re-
pressive policy would produce revulsion of
feeling in England against the authors of that
policy.
The Times says is possible that Parliament
will be compelled to depart from the contem-
plated intention of legislation for Ireland. and
adds: "We do not despair of the success of the
ordinary law, yet it would be foolish to deny that
failure is possible. If the ordinary law will not
suffice, Parliament must consider measures
which will effectively protect life and property
in Ireland"
