As for the evidence respecting criminal
agencies r. which the Parnel Commission is

fact Of the case That fact is this the Irish
question is political question with Incidental
agrarianism and crime. There has been more
or less of arrarian crime in the island during
the last decade; more Of it, perhaps, when the
League organizers were in Jail at the order Of
Mr. Forster, and certainly less of it now that
the Nationalist and Liberal parties are acting
in concert for political ends. general in
dictment for conspiracy based on these specific
counts Of agTarian outrage will include as ac-
cessores not only the agitators who have made
vehement speeches, but also the legislative re-
formers who have been tinkering the land sys-
tenn year after year and encouraging tenants
to believe that they could get anything out OF
the English people by persistent agitation; and
not only the reformerS, but the coercionists as
WELL who have stirred up fierce feeling Of
resentment throughout the island by enforcing
policy which has uniformly failed since Crom-
Wells time If the attempt be made to fix the
responsibility for agrarian crime in Ireland a
broad Indictment will be required Agitators,
reformers and coercionists alike are accessories
Nay, more if the Indictment is to be an ade-
quate one, it will cover several generations Of

PLAIN FACTS -ABOUT IRELAND.

Some plain observations respecting lr1sh al
| fairs seem to be required for the benefit OF
American readers who are now following the
Home Rule controversy with languid interest.
The Conservative Government, while adhering
with inhexible determination to the coercion
policy, have confessed that force is not their
only remedy. They have produced measure
for extending the operation of the Ashbourne
| act This is a measure for facilitating the
transfer of land to occupiers. 1t was proposed
by the only member of the present Cabinet
who had any real knowledge Of Irish affairs,
and it has been markedly successful in opera
ton. Purchases have been quietly effected on
a large scale, and the Government have been
encouraged tc apply to Parliament for con-
siderable extension Of its scope.
Mr.. Gladstone, on the part of the Opposition
has not ventured to antagonize this measure in
the usual way. He cannot consistently speak and
vote against it, since it is in accord with the
general purpose of the Bright clauses which
were added to his own Land act in 1870, and
equally in harmony with subsequent legislation
of his own devising and with his Land Pur-
chase scheme of 1886. He has always con-
tended that the chief business of the reformer
in Irish affairs must be the conversion OF ten
ants into landowners. This is the purpose Of
the enlarged Ashbourne act and there is really
no ground for Liberal opposition to it. Mr..
Gladstone perceives, however, the expedency
Of obstructing its passage as matter OF party
! tactics, and accordingly has brought up the
everlasting question Of arrears of unpaid rent,
and proposed an alternative policy that will be
more popular with professional agitators, but
less useful to the island
Impartial observers who desire, as we sim
cerely do, the establishment OF a separate Legs
! latue in Dublin will regret this method OF
! procedure. If Mr.. Gladstone had been sus-
tanned by the English people in 1886, as he
ought to have BEEN one Of the chief drawbacks
to the success Of his Hcme Rule scheme would
have been the lack Of real conservative senti-
ment in Ireland Mr.. Parnell now finds it
sufficiently difficult to manage his followers at
| Westminster. How much more difficult would
il have been to direct an Irish Parliament
representing in the main tenant constituencies
that did not own the soil. Landholdng tends
| to promote conservative and law-9bding in

JOCKEY CLUBS AND BoOKMAKERs

The action of all the leading jockey clubs in de-
Gliding 10 control for themselves the betting on
their grounds has made great stir among the
bookma,ers' organizations An agreement has
been signed by the representatives OF the clubs
pledging them TO make no more contracts or
agreements either with bool<makers associations
or with members of such bodies. This action is
the most important step for the reform and puri-
fcation Of the turf which has been taken for n
long time. The boomalers acted this year as
If they owned the race-courses and they tried 20
dictate TO every club. They did succeed in cowng
some feebleheartcd and weals-tnecd racing
officials into submission, and the result
was that frauds have been practsed
more freely, boldly and extensively in
1888 than in any previous year The domination
OF bo0lmakers and bookmakers' alliances must al
ways end in evil Most of the members are pro-
fcssional law-breakers, and whenever and wher-
ever they are permitted TO have their own way
upon race-traclls dishonesty, trickery and swim
ding will inevitably ruin the sport
No matter how the cxilcs and outcnsts that
members Of the Turf Alliance viii be hereafter
may buster and storm and threaten their rage
against the jockey clubs is impotent and idle.

front presented by the clubs II is their own
