THE DAILY EXAMINER, - Local and Other Items, — TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. et Coercion in Ireland. (Movntre al Star.) The British Government's Coercion Bill is an exceedingly severe measure, It ean only be justified in resorting te it by the most dire necessity and aitcr all remedial measures have failed. Does that n ceasity exist and have those remedial measures been tried? Mr. Gladstone who is as ‘well as any man living able to judge of the gravity of the present crisis in lreiand has declared in Parliament that coercion is not necessary in this country, and all the world knows that Lord Salisbury has deliberately declined to introduce veme dial measures until after order is restored. He does not propose to give the Irish people what they most desire and what they have so long igitated for, Home Rule, at all, and he is determined to apply coercion before he intro- duces his measne of Land Reform. Never before did a people having a nominal constitu- tional government so generally and so strongly desire a measure of reform as the Irish people do Home Rule the control ot their domes- tic affairs—without getting at least an instal- ment of what they wanted, and in few coun tries has any form of land tenure pressed so aardly upon the cultivators of the soil and produced so much misery as the rack-renting (rndiord system in Ireland, yet the British Premier has determined to apply to a country groauing under landlord cruelty and extor- tion, &@ repressive law unconstitutional in its nature and draconian in its severity before he extends to them any measure of relief. It may be said that it is the duty of Government te enforce the laws. That is true, but the Government, before it determines to put the laws into execution, no matter what may be he cost to itself and to the people who resist them, should be well convinced that those laws are justand humane. The government which uses its strength to enforce laws that are known to be cruel and unjust and to ihaintain an oppressive land system, cannot be justitied by the lovers of justice and constitu- tional rule in any country. ibe agitation mn Ireland lately has not been so much a home-rule agitation as it has been a movement against the operation of the land laws and the exactions of unfeeling and tyrannical landlords. According to the evidence of a high official of the Government, General Buller, before Lord Cowper's com- mission, the people of the disturbed districts were willing to pay their exorbitant rents, but they were not able. The open sympathy extended to the tenantry by priests, bishops and archbishops is strong evidence that, in their opinion, the tenants were totally unable to meet the demands of their landlords, The ciergy of all countries are conservative, and they never knowingly lend countenance to either dishonesty or lawlessness. But the Salisbury Government is deaf to every prompt- ing of humanity and even of sound policy. It refuses to attempt conciliation and resorts to the severest coercion. The bill introduced by Mr. Balfour places extensive powers In the hands of magistrates who may be both partial and partisan. There is no check upon themin the exercise of that power. They are made sole judges of both the law and the facts. They can deprive men of their liberty for offences which it is often peculiar- ly difficult to prove—criminal conspiracy, for instance, and incitement to commit unlawful acts. The strong presumption is that the bias of the magistrates will be strongly against the class of offenders whom they are empower- ed to try and to punish. The magistrates are generally of the landlord class, and the offend- ers who will be brought before them will be men accused of committing crimes against landlords. “The following are the crimes ovér which their jurisdiction is to extend; Crimi- nal conspiracy, boycotting, rioting, affences under the Whiteboy Acts, assault on officers of the law, forcible and unlawful possession, in- citement to these offences. What chance weuld a man accused of any of these offences have before a partisan magistrate of the land- lord class ? Then the device of trying men accused of committing crimes in Ireland in England is altogether new, and must be pecu- liarly offensive to the Irish people. It is not very surprising that, when the provisions of this strange measure were announced in the British House of Commons the excitement was intense, and that it was met by open detiance and loud threats of rebellion on the part of Irish members. If the bill evoked such expressions of indignation in the House of Commons itself, how will it be received by the Irish people? It is great ly to be feared that it will create a necessity for itself, that it will so increase disorder in Ireland, and so exasperate the people whom it is intended to coerce, that they will refuse ta listen to these whe counse] patience, and will act in such a way as will give the Gov- ernment an excuse for employing means against them still more repressive. It is not to be expeeted that this coercive measure will have the effect of quieting Ireland. It will simply add another to the many grievances of that unhappy country, and will render the peaceful settlement of the Irish question still more difficult. +P — She Knew a Magnet. Some years ago a Miss H - was teach- ing school in Dixon, Ill. One day in the reading class they came across the word **magnet.”” The teacher asked how many in the class knew what a magnet was, and re- quested those that knew to hold up their right hands, All the class was motionless for a moment, and then one little girl rose and put up her hand. ‘* Well, my dear,” said the teacher, ‘what isa magnet?” ‘‘I don’t know,” said the little girl, ‘‘as I know what it is, but I have seen ‘em at home in mother’s cheese.” Dwelling to Let.
