But if the traversers gain no Flory by the upshot of the twenty-tve-ddays? trial, the Government certainly gets none. It is fortunate for Mr. Gladstone and his Mintsters that the Iaine conclusion of the prosecution. is coincident in: time with Parlinmentary proceedings which absorbs the nation’s witola attention. ‘The Indictment of the leaders of the Land League was nothing more than a political expedient = =owhich _ has served Sts purpose fairly well. Four inonths In advances of the meeting of Parliament it was upparent that the Govern- ment inust do something. ‘The Conservative leaders and organs, representing a minority of the nation with an amount of voice and clamor which, in foreign-countries, was mis- taken for the volce of the natlon, demanded Inanediate coercive measures, The Govern- ment was wise enough to sce that at that thne cocrelon would be fatal, te tho prospects of real pacification, ‘and re- sorted W a State prosecution of the most prominent Lund. Leuguers: instead. It Wns nota xreat stroke of State policy, but, in conjunction with other repressive -meas- ures, it checked the work of the League, and snpeaaetl forartline the ‘Tory rabble. Now that inore serious -buginuss 1s before the country, the matter will soon, be forgotten, It hos at no tine excited much Interest. If the Land bill {ust fies reasonnble expectation, {twill provide # constitutional remedy for the state of things aimed at in Mr. Forster's bills, and will remove tho occasion for thelr enforcement.
