The Times SAYS that the only cause for
surprise is that the arrests have been 80
long delayed. The res0lute action Of The
Government will be eagerly welcomed BY
all clear-headcd friends Of civil order.
The Standard says tko prosecution has
nothing to do with speeches delivered else
where than in Iipperary. The coup was
admirably managed, and the secrecy main
tained prevented the accused from eXercis-
ing their well-knOwn skill in apportionate
disappearance.

sending OF Mr.. Parnell or other irishmcn in
their stead.
The Telegraph justiiies The arrests, rs tho
