Wrongs need redressing. burdens reed
to be lifted, expressions need to be COR
rected.
The Irish people know of the Unequal
tiles and unjust burdens. and they in
sist upon a general oyerhauling Of the
entire land system. The British Gov-
eminent now understands this, n
sees the people in the beautiful isiend
as n man in the cry for radical
changes. London dispatches tell OF the
discomfort. and report that h British
Government is at last alarmed at the
widening power and growth Of agita-
ton for reforms. While this is true the
government appears to be bent upon
trying a stern rule for Ireland. It has
its hand already in Africa, and its
blood Is warm and 1t talks of coerciye
measures for Ireland. The Baltimore
Sun notes the many evidences Of such
a stern measure, and y
Conservative newspapers in London
are demanding the suppression of the
Irish Land League and a resort TO
coercive measures. which may cause
serious trouble in the present temper
OF h Irish people. Discontinued ten
ants. supported by the United Irish
League. can give the British Govern
ment many Unpleasant quarters of an
hour" and IL the government resorts
to coercion there may be startling re-
suits. King Edward has abandoned
his proposed visit to Ireland on ac-
count OF the hostility OF the Irish peo-
pie. With English de-
nouncing the Nationalist leaders as
"frenzied fantics," holding them up as
traitors" to the Empire. and insisting
upon the suppression of Nationalism,

ditions are ripe for disturbances in the

Whom the gods would destroy they

ing to able British writer's, has much
trouble on hand and ahead, and is
really in a dangerous situation. We

In material growth the south has
been more marked than in educational
growth. But they are moving on to-

of this great section. Mr.. J.. H. Kirby,
