THE IRISH QUESTION.

EVICTIONS VIOLENTLY RESISTED. BAILIFFS INJURED. CHURCHILL DENOUNCES GLADSTONE ANARCHY MEANS RUIN; London, Oct. 24. Several evictions have occnrrel in the county ot Wexford, and in every instance the tenenls offered atrenuous opposition to ths bailiffs. In one instance a bailiff was nearly beaten to death by a number of women, while his companions had to flee for their lives. In another case two officers were terribly scalded with scalding water which was thrown over them. A horrible deed was perpetrated in one eviction. Three bailiffs were enticed into a dwelling wlieu vitrol was thrown into their faces, blinding two. At a meeting held after the attempted evio' tions it was unaniinously agreed to use every means to resist the police and the bailiffs. Lord Randolph Chui chill has spoken at Newcastle. Tuere were over 4000 present, and tile greatest enthusiasm was displayed during the proceedings, nu answered Mr Gladstones indictment against the police and the Government, and warned the democracy that sympathy with anarchy meant absolute ruiu.

The following is ths style in which “ Puff ” treits the G.u.M.: —Tiie Grand Old Lunatic I Gladstone gone o.eau ot! his chump at the Liberal Conference at Nottinghalu I Made a speech fj.l of incitement to bloodshed and anarchy 1 Il’s tha old story 1 If the spoilt child can’t get his own way. he wants to break things I Tne child is father to the man I Grandmother, I should say 1 Gladstone's going on more like an angry old woman than a great statesman I Scolding aid skirling and cursing horrid ! He admits that the Liberals have terribly lost ground I Whose fault’s that ? His own fault entirely I He’s smashed up his parly and kicked all their priii upl.'s to flinders I He complains of the icivili yof Parhament 1 Ah. just sot He didn’t complain of me servility nt Parliament when he had a majority ot 150 and no man dared call bis soul nis own I But now, when a majority suppo.t the Conservative Ministry to prevent the disruption of the Kingdom, he calls them senile I I'm afraid that old man will com - to a bad end 1
