PRICE THREE PENCE. IRELAND UNDER THE LEAGUE. I L L U S T R A T E D BY EXTRACTS FROM THE EVIDENCE GIVEN BEFORE THE COWPER COMMISSION. "It is a great issue ; it is a conflict for the very first and elementary principles upon which civil society is constituted. It is idle to talk of either law or order, or liberty or religion, or civilization, if these gentlemen are to carry through the reckless and chaotic schemes that they have devised. Rapine is the first object ; but rapine is not the only object. It is perfectly true that these gentlemen wish to march through rapine to the disintegration and dismemberment of the Empire, and, I am sorry to say, even to the placing of different parts of the Empire in direct hostility one with the other. That is the issue in which we are engaged. Our opponents are not the people of Ireland. We are endeavouring to relieve the people of Ireland from the weight of a tyrannical yoke."—At Knowsley, October 27th, 1881. "They (hon. gentlemen) must explain, by some statement of fact, if they could give a different colour to the relations of the Land League to the crimes committed in Ireland, and they must explain the reason of the breaking down of the administration of justice. What did the breaking down mean? It meant the destruction of the peace of life ; it meant the placing in abeyance of the most sacred duties and the most cherished duties ; it meant the servitude of good men, the imprunity and supremacy of bad men."—House of Commons, January 11th, 1882.

APRIL, 1887.
