The Rent War in Ireland.
AN ARCHBISHOP'S ADVICE.
(Special to Sydney Evening-News.)
Lond ->sr, February 18. Dr Croke, Roman Catholio Archbishop of Cushel and Emly. advises the Irish not to piy taxes, which are applied to the feeing and feeding of a gang of needy, voracious lawyers, and for the purchase of the policemen's bludgeons, with which to smash people's skulls and to snpport a foreign garrison. The advice from so prominent a figure in the Eoman Church has caused a tremendous sensation. It is stated in political circles in London that if the advice is accepted the Government will be sure to proclaim martial law in Ireland. Parnell deprecates the advice, he well knowing that it would, if accepted, lead to civil war.
