GOVERNING IRELAND.
Mr Trevelyan, Chief Secretary of Ireland, arrived at Belfast on the 23rd Angnst, and the Mayor presented him with an address of welcome, expressing the desire of the residents to strengthen his hands in his onerous duties. Mr Trevelyan, in reply, said it- would be idle to deny the existence of personal danger in the task of governing Ireland. The remedy against' outrages was to have a tribunal which could be trusted to do justice without fear. When the Irish people arc convinced they have a tribunal which will give a verdict according to the evidence, it will have an important effect. Those who have expected agrarian outrages to suddenly cease were expecting an impossibility. The fixed policy of the Government is to distinguish between criminal and political acts. They did not care to concern themselves with political meetings; but against outrages they are determined’ to wage an undying and
unrelenting war
