All Irish landlords are certainly not
good, 1t appears, from the report of
a trial decided in Dublin on Wednes-
day, thnt Mr.. Joyce, agent to Lord
CIanticarde, advised his employer TO
make a reduction in his rents. Lord
Clanricarde refused, and, moreover
in a letter to the Times, stated that MIR
Joyce had told him there was a "No-
Rent" conspiracy on the estate. AS
this letter made the agent a marked
man, Mr. Joyce, who had not made
that statement, threw: up: his employ
and brought an action for libel, which,
ended in a verdictfor e., 500 damages.
THE amount, under the circumstances,
was not excessive. The Lord Chief
Baron charged most strongly for the
pl"intiff-iustly, weagaahink; as far as
Lord Clanricarde's conduct towards his
agent was concerned, but u"jnstly in a
smaller matter, which we mention be-
cause it illustrates existing feeling in
Ireland, The Judge makes it a'charge'

against Lord CIaEricarde that wien
asked by the tenants to sell, he deman-

bound, either by law or morality, to
sell his property and one of the COM

the employment OF the wages of oper-

should be struck off. He held that

the manufacturers were alarmed at

(&pectatOr, Dec. 10Y

Congress met on Monday, and on
Tuesday President Cleveland sent TO
it a Message which "amazed and
delighted both enemies and friends"
In other words, instead of %endeav0ur-
any TO saywhst would "divide"American
cltIzeus " least" he said exactly what
hp thought, In the boldest and plain
est language, on the eubject OF the
aarif, and told the people what 1t was
good for them to hear. We shall look
with great curiosity to see whether
abe Americnn people really like can
dour aud pIni",Speaking best, or
whether t,ey prefer The Presidents
who endeavOur TO hit the exact line
between wind and water" PreSi-
dent Cleveland plunged at once into
the financial question, and touched
mo- other. The revenue was a great
deal more thanthc Government need
ed. and every year the unemployed
SurpIrs grew lnrger. 1t was not
possible 10 pay off debt with it, be-
cause all the debt which could bc at
present redeemed at par had been so
redeemed, and the only available
course would be to buy American
Bonds in the market at premium,
and at a premium which would i'm
mediately be forced up to an artifi-
clnl height, if the Treasury were
known to be competing for these
Bonds. Yet, by June 3Oth next,
and within four years, $40, 000, 900
(between q aud % millions strrlIng)
would have been accumulated in the
Treasury, for which The Government
las no manner of use. though the
people SoreIy needed that Of which
they had been thus unnecessarily de-
prived, This the President termed
"an indefensibte extortion, and a cul-
pabte betrayal of American fairness
and justice"
The proper course, says Mr.
Cleveland is to reduce taxation,-
not the internal taxation, which is
all raised from tobacco and spirits,
the most legitimate subjects for taxa
ton, but the Customs duties, espe-
cially those on neceSsaries. Out of a
population of seventeen millions aud

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.

This morning C~0mmander-im Chief
Archduke Albrecht, The Minister Of
Waf, General Count ByIandt, the
Chief of The General Staff, and Ypve-
raj high officials Of the War Office
met in council at the Palace, under
the presidency Of the Emperor.
It is DOT yet known whether the
Russian Official Gazette haS published
to-day the explanation that has been
announced, and is intended to reas-
sure Austria Hungary. Meanwhile,
an interesting letter from Warsaw,
The capital Of Russian Poland, is pub.
lished here this evening. 1t o
ces that between Ivongor0d and Lub-
lin considerable forces are being con
centrated just now for the obvious
purpose OF covering Warsaw on the
0ne hand, and observing the German
and Austrian frontiers on the other.
The command of the army corps
thus in course of formation has been
given to General Komaroff, whose
headquarters are at IvangOrOd. The
writer is of opinion that ~Ivangorod
may prove to be. the Plevna OF the
next war. The troops concentrating
between IvangorOd and Lublln are
receiving constant achievements.
The Narva Dragons have arrived at
GrubieSzof and the Orenburg Cos
sacks at Svierze. II will be observed
that both come from distant parts of
the country. The pending move
ment of troops is officially styled
'~'distOcation" and not" concentrations"
In case the Austrian Government
should apply confdentially and a.
micably I St. Petersburg for an ex-
PLANTATION, they will be informed thatthe
present d~isIocati0n" is confined 10
a zone which does not in any way
threaten the strategic safety of this
Monarchy.
The N6Me Fre;e Presse contains n
remarkable leading article, of which
the following extract will certainly
be read with interest;
We are exceeding grateful for
Germany's concern on our behalf
but we fear that if we were TO follow
the very pressing advice which has
been given to US we might provoke
Russia. That we do not want to do.
Indeed, we are most anxious that
there should be no doubt amongst
the Russians as t. the disposition of
the Austrian people. None of the
parties M0tionales, nor the ParIiaments
which represent the Austrian Monar-
chy, want war, and nowhere does the
conviction prevail that existing Tiff
erences render a conflict unavoidable.
Although we do not hesitate to pro-
claim this loudly, yet tie Austrian
army will not be reduced by a single
man, nor, owing to the terrible poll
ticaf cloud overhead, be diminished
in the smallest degree. Yes we
confess that we dream of financial

Treasury, in his report supports
strongly the line of the President.
lie proposes that the venue shall
be 81 reduced, as for some years to
come not to equal the expenditure, 10
that The Accumulated surplus may be
gradually used up, He proposes to
simplify the tariff, making the duties
as far as possible specific, instead of
proportional to the value Of the
articles imported. He asks for dis
eliminating duties on woollen cloths,
and declares that the manufacture Of
worsled cloths will cease in the United
States unless the duties he amended.

can vessels is diminishing under the
present tariff, and he wishes that

can citizens, should be allowed 10

asks for a considerable relaxation of

Miss Butte Smith, of Fentres
county, Tenn, who was arrested on
the charge of illicit distilling, is said
to be handsome and accomplished.
When Miss Smith was arranged
before the United States marshal at
Nashville, she conducted herself
with such grace and dignity that the
police judge deeply impressed arose
and made her profound bow.
Miss smith, said the judge, "to
see you in this awful predicament
seriously touches me-"
at does me, too, Judge"
"How old are you?"
"Judge, l am two years older than
my married sister. who was married
before she was as old as | am. She
has been married eighteen months
and still speaks well of her husband.
Now how old am II"

ler?"
"Ever since 1 was 16-years old"
"Nvhen were you l6-years old?"
"The year my father died"
"What year was that?"
"The year my uncle Henry moved
TO Texas"
"Miss Smith, you are woman,
but insist that you shall answer my
questions. Remember, that if con-
victed of this awful charge you will
be sent to the penitentiary. What
did you do with the whisky you
made?"
"Sold it?"
"Who bought it?"
"Well, Judge, it would be rather
hard to tell who bought it all. Some
time ago party of gentleman came
into my nelghborhood to hunt deer.
The party got out of whisky and
found it difficult to buy any. After
while told man if he would put
his Jug on a dollar and go away he
might, when he came back, find the
jug full of whisky. He did so."'
