London, July 87.—Now that tho government has armed itself with a coercion law (or ubb in Ireland, prescribing punishment toy every offence hitherto known and bringing into the category of crimo many acts hitherto regarded as perfectly logltimato and proper, it is brought to a standstill by the discovery-that the number of persons who can be coerced oven by that swoeping act is inflniteasimnliy small. Indeod, the almost entire absence of crime in Ireland at the present time is causing a feeling of wonderment among the Dublin Castle and Downing street officials, and has set these worthies to asking each other if it isn't possible that the government has been tho victim of woful. misrepresentation in regard to the condition of ft-eland.

What It Cost a Butcher to Secure a Con- tract for Famlthlnff Mast. Chicago, July 87.—Ia the boodlers' trial n Judge Jamieson's court yesterday James Keo, one of a firm of dealers in milk, wis the first witness. Ho testified to having secured contracts with the county at different times by the payment of money to Fred Bipper, and stated that for tho same purpose he had at one time paid McGariglo $1,000 and at another $1,400. Fred Bipper was the next witness. He stated that he had been in Chicago twenty-five yoars and for the past eleven or twelve years had been in the wholesale and retail meat business, and commenced to furnish supplies to Cook county In 1880. He then related how he bad been compelled to pay the "boodle" commissions for his contracts each year, giving the names and amounts paid. In 1884 and 1885 his contract cost $10,000. His testimony caused a sensation. However that may be, It will not do for the government to back down now, and crime must bo found in Ireland or the Tory party must go to the wall. In this view the government has revised the list of Irish magistrates, shelved the old and inactive squire* and appointed vigorous young follows in their place, with special to see that no violation of the crimes law is permitted to go unpunished. Theso instruction* mean, of course, that they shall nose out of fenders against the newly created strictures of the ambiguous and elastic aot and gee to it that every person arrested is fouad gfcilty. After aU the worrimont and oaasperatlon the government has undergone in* the effort to pass the bill, it is still more exasperating to And that there is nobody to coerce and no crime to punish.

It is not now expected that the recommendation of tho lord lieutenant of Ireland that the National league be forthwith proclaimed and suppressed will be acted upon, since it cannot be found that that organization is engaged in acts that oven under the law especially enacted for the purposo of destroying the league can be construed into Crimea, and the government will scarcely brave public opinion to the extent of gratuitously crushing or attempting to destroy a body against which no charge of flagrant violation of the 'aw can be brought. Whatever may be done in the inforcement of the act will be done quietly and on a comparatively small scale, for the present, at least. The Coke Syndicate.

The Hiramites secured an injunction restraining the several lodges from taking away any of the furniture, and this iction has caused somo excitement ia Masonic circles. A fair idea of the manner in which the government's proclamation of the Irish counties is received may be gathered from the fact that when the placards announcing the proclamation wore posted in Limerick the corporation of that city met and unanimously parsed resolutions declaring the proclamation to be an attack npon the rights of free speech and political organization, and as such deserving of public condemnation.

His eminence said ho had not received anything from Rome on that quostlon. He did not think tho holy father would condemn the Knights as an organisation go long as they kept aloof from Anarchism, did not place themselves in antagonism to tho rights of others, and c ntinued to accomplish good for the working people. ridicule upon the ministry to laugh them out of court. Mr. John Mar ley will preside and contribute largely to the humiliation that will be launched upon the Tories. Mgr. Perslco, having practically completed his work of inquiring into the condition of Ireland, will return to Rome about the middle of August. It is asserted that the report of.his investigation, which he has forwarded to the pope, is drawn upon the same linos as those upon which Cardinal Gibbons' memorial to the holy father was based, and it is surmised that the pope, after reading it, will be thoroughly convinced of the fruitless ness of endeavoring to prevent the Irish Catholic clergy from taking an active part in Home Rule politics and anti-eviction demonstrations.
