Exasperated by Cattle-Driving
in Ireland and Power
of League. .
JURIES WILL NOT CONVICT:
league Rules Hand and Grazers
Are Terrorized Government De
nounced for Xot Applying
Powers of Crimes Act.
DUBLJK, Jan. 4. (Special.) The Rt.
Hon. . "Walter H. Lone. 31. P.. formerly
Chief Secretary for Ireland, who has the
reputation ot having "kept Ireland in
order by his tact and firmness," has
written an article In which he says:
"Attempts are being made In various
quarters to Induce the British public to
bellve that the condition of Ireland is
very different from what It really Is. Mr.
Redmond tells us that there is much less
crime in Ireland than In England or Scot
land, and threatens to have every crime
of a serious character committed In these
countries brought up in Parliament. No
body has ever denied that there is leis
crime of the character to which his re
marks refer In Ireland than In other parts
of the United Kingdom. What is as
serted, and what is undoubtedly the fact,
is that crimes are committed in Ireland
from time to time, occasionally of the
most brutal character, which are not the
result of violent outbursts of temper or
the acts of brutalized men and women,
the victims of drink, but are deliberately
planned and perpetrated In order to ter
rorize the people against whom they are
aimed."
Most jpeople will remember the awful
and melancholy times In the SQfs when
crimes against the person were directed
against the landlord class, the object be
ing to terrorize the landlords and bring
them to a state of subjection; now, the
landlords being practically disposed of
by the land purchase schemes, this sys
tem of terrorism is directed against an
other class. For the present It is the
grazier who is to be terrorized and ex
terminated. Are the people to be allowed
to drive the cattle wherever tRey like,
or commit other offenses of a similar,
character, as part of a deliberate policy
directed to the extinction of the graziers
and the subsequent possession of the land
by themselves?
I aw of the Jjeague Rales.
At present the only law which obtains
in parts of Ireland Is the law of the
League. There have been Innumerable
instances where men have broken the
rules of the League, have been summoned
before a local court, tried as if they were
In a court of justice, and sentenced: and
In many cases these men.-afraid of the
consequences to themselves, their fam--ilies
and property, have at once sur
rendered and promised that the thing
shall never happen again.
The government is pledged not to
deal with Home Rule, but it ie deliber
ately and with Its eyes open doing Us
best to lay the foundation for home
rule by surrendering Into the hands of
the Nationalists all public control in
Ireland. The government organs are
urging the government to suspend all
British loans for Irish land purchase,
and thus bring the Irish politicians to
book.
Loud Cry for Coercion.
Following upon Mr. Balfour's indict
ment of the government for not put
ting in force the crimes act to secure
conviction of the cattle-raiders in Ire
land, crown counsel in a prosecution
at Wicklow declared that probably oth er
means would have to be adopted to
secure convictions In accordance with
the evidence. Three men alreaS- ac
quitted at Tullamore were being tried
on the charge of cattle-driving. Mr.
Buttersby, in opening the case, said:
"There are other methods, and if
those other methods are resorted to,
the people of Ireland will only have
themselves to blame." Of course, Mr.
Buttersby's words were a plain Inti
mation that the crimes act would be
put into effect.
Lord Halsbury, speaking at the
United Club, said, with regard to
Ireland, that a Minister was supposed
to exact the carrying out of the law.
It was idle to say that juries would
not convict, for they had an act of
Parliament, if they dared to put It In
force, which would put a stop to the
state of affairs. But the Minister dared
not enforce the law for fear of the
effect on the great mass of the govern
ment Supporters. He could not think
of anything more degrading than such
such a course.
Ireland Right or Wrong?
T. M. Healy, M. P., when told that
certain distinguished Liberal papers
In England have been clamoring for
the enforcement of the law against
cattle-driving. If need be, by the appli
cation of the provisions of the crimes
act of 1887, remarked:
"I may frankly tell you this, that If
the foolish cackle of Liberal news
papers were to result in coercion being
forced upon Ireland, it would placo
every Nationalist who is worth hia salt
on the side of the cattle-drivers. Our
motto is: 'Ireland, right or .wrong
and If Fleet street donkeydom forces
upon us the hateful alternative of tak
ing sides as between English jailers
of Irish members and Irish drivers of
landgrabbers bullocks, it will not be
difficult for anyone to make up his
mind as to which side he will join."
Churchill for Cabinet.
LONDON, Jan. 8. Reports are heard in
Liberal circles of a series of by-elections
on the ministerial side shortly after the
meeting of Parliament. It appears to be
generally believed that there will be one
resignation from the Cabinet, purely on
personal grounds, and that there will be
a reshuffling of the pack, with the cer
tain inclusion of Winston Churchill with
in the sacred circle. . One of two minor
officeholders are also mentioned as being
likely to be promoted, and the change
generally, it Is expected, will entail three
or four elections.
It is an open secret that Mr. Churchill
would have had a Cabinet oftice earlier
If his agents in Manchester felt perfectly
confident of his ability to retain his seat.
That confidence is now said to exist.
