london, Sept. 24.-Already there are signs
Of ooming disturbances in Ireland. In q few
weeks Mr.. Balfour's friends will be declaring
with ill-concealsd satisfaction that Mr.. Nor
ley's experiment In suspsnding coercion Isl
failure. There will certainly be riotings and
bloodshed II the worst class OF Irish landlords
carry out their present plans for renewing the
eviction campaign. Mr.. Balfour was able. by
privsts pressure upon the Tory landlords DUR
Ing . year or two before the end Of his rule. to
almost suspend the eviction OF impoverished
and rentless tenants. Thu Was he ableto point
TO the peaceful efficacy Of coercion govern
msnt: but these landlords have no longer any
political reasons for leniency toward their
tenants. They have indeed double reason for
pursuing them with msreiless rigor. They
are bound to accom- plish one Of two purposes.
either they will collect the arrears OF rent due
or they will ineits the penniless tenants to .
violent resistance against being driven shell
tsrless and hungry into the Highways. The
landlords know perfectly well that the tenth

vett this year. or rather tho market

Quite aside from the question OF rent there
are thousands in Ireland who cannot survive
the winter without help. In such an emer-
Esncy resistance to tho penalty Of rent delin-
Quency would be made under any govern
msnt. It Is all worry we'll to appeal to the irish

hands OF the Liberal party In securing ulti-
mate relief. They arc ready to sacrifice much.
yes. even life itself. to gain the political free
dom OF their country. But 1t Is asking too
much even Of an Irishman to demand that he
shall ofsr up the lives OF his wife and chill
drsn on tho altar OF starvation as tho price OF
national liberty.
So the world is to be wearied again by the
old story OF outrage and bloodshed In ireland.
England and Europe will turn a deaf ear to
the oft-told tale unless It shall bring with 1t
some now supreme horror and cruelty. To
America once again will be turned the only
hopeful appeal for uncalloused sympathy.
Meantime Mr.. Morley is preparing to do
everything possible 10 mitigats evils which
threaten. 1t Is q remarkable and scandalous
fact that nine-tenths Of the magistrates in Ire
land belong to the so-cnlled Royalist minority.
and that during the long administration OF the
late Government not one man in the slightest
degree In sym pathy with the popular move
mont was appointed 10 tho judicial bench.
More than that. the Lord Mayor OF Dublin. and
the Mayors OF all towns where Nationalist
predominated. were deliberately deprived Of
their maeisterIal functions John Morley
has resolved forthwith to remedy this crying
injustice. HA has already restored the
Mayor, to their ancient rights. and
has appointed q sturdy Nationalist
in EavaI 10 TO a Justice OF the Peace. Tn
latter appointment has sent the Tories into
Mysteries. because while not Objectionable in

Davitt The idea OF the GoveE,m emit. in such

advice OF an ex-convict would be startling In

every leading Irishman worth his salt has
either been in prison or has narrowly escaped

The record OF the ravages OF the Great Death

pearod from all but four or five points In west
ern Europe. and whore it still fingers its blows
fall sparingly. The danger now is that 1t will
o~verleap the barrier Of winter and devastats
the land anew next year. The best authori-
ties agree that the return OF cholera next sum-
msr IL more than probable. Under old condi-
tiops the second years. visitation would prove
far moro disastrous than the first. But sani-
