in that important branch
a it the management of live stock, I am not disposed
to estimate at too high a rate the benefit likely tocsins
from this amendment of the law in one branch of the
land question. It would be a very moderate conclusion
on the part of the country party to the farmers. In
actual money it would cost the lacellorde nothing, the
payments being such as would pass between incomin;
and outguin; tenants. And these would be a valuable
security to the landlord for the solvency of his tenant
and the payment of his rent.
I do not think it necessary to enter into a new die-
cmwion on the relative advantage of learee or yearly
tenancies, or on the state of farming in Norfolk and
Lincolnshire, where the two systems have their beet
English examples.
[retain my ogivictioll in favour of leases as the best
arrangement for aU parties. If great lacellonls in
England and in Scotland weuld ado] ,t upon their estates
the general principles of Lord Leweiteee lease, much
of the dissiatisiaction at preseut eo rife among the
tenantry would vanish. The wenn-ante it would give
them • not only f stability for a tizel term, but the
prospect of a renewal, mid the onititoiance of a friendly
connexion on terms of •ual advantage, not strained
by keen competition , but fairly representing the grow.
lug value of the land, would evoke the best efforts of
the farmers. Neither skill nor capital le generally
wanting on their part, and the fullest freedom ie.,iven
by this keen for the exerciee of both. f'ontracts in
this spirit are the true mode of eliciting thope volun-
tary awl individual exertious which wen make when
working for themselves. It is the feeling cd insecurity
that drives the fanner+ to seek from legislative enact-
ment what they begin to fear they may before long fail
1., find without it.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

The approach of the Parliamentary session
excites some activity in the political world, and
seems to have been the cause of bringing several
Members of Parliament before the public in one
shape or other. Mr. Morley, Mr. W. E. Forster,
Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice, Mr. Baillie Cochrane
Sir John Lubbock, and Mr. Osborne Morgan,
have all been to the fore within the last few
days ; and so far as these gentlemen have
talked politics they seem to express quiet resig-
nation and watchful patience on the part of the
Liberal
_party, while perhaps the fact that
several Liberal representatives have taken an
opportunity of talking anything else but politics
expresses much the smile. In the present con-
dition of parties, single by-elections like that for
Stoke-upon-Trent, do not excite much attention
among the general public. Only a succession of
Liberal victories at such elections, such as were
won by the Conservative party when Mr. Glad-
stone was in power, would make them of real
importance; and there aeons no chance of this.
The tendency, indeed, has been, since the
general election, to increase the Conservative
majority. Therefore the Liberal party must fur
some time be satisfied with Lord FAiniond Fitz-
nuiurice's reflection that the Liberal party fell
from power because it had effected all the
reforms for which 111,Kleratu men are at present
pre_pared.
The ',meta Government, like its predeces-
sor, has had its official mind much exercised
owing to the continued and increasing num-
ber of desertions from thu army. A Royal
Commission on this subject is now sitting—
sedct o fertotingtic sulebit, perhaps—and some
day we may have its report and recommenda-
tions for avoiding dwiertions ; but, meanwhi, ,
we hear that the Secretary of State for War is
contemplating a plan for increasing the pay of
the rank and file of the army, and thus lessen-
ing the inducement to desert. Of course any
' such plan would mean extra taxation, and,
therefore, it would meet with great opposition;
but still it is generally admitted that something
should be done to prevent wholesale desertion,
and it may be argued that the extra pay given
may be saved by reducing the loss of men after
the State has been at the expense of drilling
them. So far as desertion takes place for the
sake of the pecuniary benefit arising from re-
enlistment, this might be cured by a system of
branding, but many soldiers desert without any
intention of re-entering the army.
A few days ago Canon Liddon, replying to
Monsignore Capel, denied the Monsignore's
assertion that the Ritualists were unintention-
ally but not the less assuredly, teaching Roman
Catholic doctrines and practices. Those speci-
ally quoted were the Real Presence, Reverence
for Saints, Confession, and the Incarnation.
Canon Liddon replied to these seriatim, and
stated plainly what are the views of High
Churchmen upon the doctrines named. Mon-
signor,' Capel has since rejoined with a number
of quotations from Church books, which abun-
dantly justify his original assertion, and Canon
Liddon is now obliged to admit the general
accuracy of the charge. The Canon said he
never invoked any Saint in his life. Of course
not, but others of his school do, says the Mon-
sigr_iffre who quotes from the " Vude
. . . . .

a High Church Prayer-book, already in its
fourth edition, edited by a priest and published
by Palmer—Litanies of the Saints and Angels
and for the faithful departed ; prayers for the
protection of the Angels, and for the interces-
sion of the Saints; and language used on this
doctrine precisely the same as he has used from
his childhood. At page 133, among the prayers
recommended to he said by the sick, is the
following :—" Let the Holy Angels defend me
from all the powers of darkness, and let Mary,
Mother if God, pray for us sinners now and at
the hour of death ; lot all the Mowed Angels
and Saints of God pnly for me a poor sinner."
Then Canon Liddon admitted a Real Presence,
but rejected the Roman doctrine of Transub-
stantint• . In the "Treasury of Devotion,"
says M. Cape!, edited by the Rev. Mr. Carter,
of Mower, in the third edition of the book,
published in 1870, at page 115 the words of the
" Lauda Shin" are thus given :
Won.lnius truth by Christians learned,
Bread into His flesh is turned,
Into precious libsid and Wine.
To these lines others are added in the Hymnal
noted, sixth edition, published in 1874 by
Palmer:—

Here beneath these Signs are hidden
Priceless things to reuse forbidden.
Sios not Things are all we see.
Blood is poured and Flesh it broken,
Yet in either wondrous Token
Christ entire we know to be.
As to confession and absolution, M. Capel quotes
again from the rude Mecum, which urg,us the
readers to confess their sins, and speaks of
absolution given or deferred by the priest.
"Fourthly and lastly, as to the doctrine of the
Incarnation, it finds its expression in Devotion
to the Precious Blood, to the Five Wounds, and
even to the Sacred Heart —devotions familiar to
Catholics, but in all probability strange to
members of the Established Church." Canon
Lidtion surrenders to these charges. He "can-
not defend " the language used as to the Invo-
cation of Saints and Angels; the quotations
with respect to the Real Presence " are indefen-
sible," and the directions quoted with respect to
Confisisiou contain a precept "which appears to
be without wamint from the Church of England."
Thu result is that Canon Liddon respectfully
asks the writers and editors of the devotional
works named to re-consider the expressions
quoted in the light of the public formularies of
the Church of England. Thu Canon did not
know of their existence when he challenged the
Monsignor° to the proof of his assertion!
. . . .

The pressing question f Tumult Right is
dealt with in a long letter by Mr. Jams Caird,
a well-known agricultural authority, in Monday's
The writer puts it that the landowner's
capital in the soil comprehends its natural
fertility, and the tenant's the "condition" he
has added to it. Originally the four-course
system made it possible to crop the laud from
its own resources, but during the last 25 years a
great change has occurred.
, The increasing price of meat, the only article of
agricultural produce the import of which has not
increared in the last ten years, notwithstanding the
ever-growing demand, has stimulated the exertions of
home ',nehmen immensely, and led them to expend
capital very freely in oilcakeand.feclim:stuffs beyond
the natural pro.luce of the farm. Every such article
brought on to the farm is an increase to the sources of
that condition" which is solely the tenant's pro-
perty: and the same rule applies to bones, guano, and
' other manures bought by the tenant, and added to the
natural resources of the farm. Forty years ago Pro-
lessor Low, then one f the most advanced agricul-
turiets of that day, published • volume on practical
agriculture, in which he gave careful statements of
the expenditure common on the best managed farms
In the Lothians. On a farm rented at i:1,000 he put
down f2sus the outlay on foreign manures. On such
a farm in the present day tuice the rent would not be
thought an extravagant expenditure on fertilizers and
cattle food. With this vast advance in the farmer's
expenditure there can be no doubt whatever that the
i tenant's proportion in the increase of the gross value
of the land has largely advanced. His sales have
laugmented not so much in corn as in live Mock, and
that increase is very largely due, not to the land itself,
but to the additions he has made to it by the liberal
outlay of his capital on feeding materials and manures.
IL doing this the land iteelf has become more 'module
tive ; it carries more stock and f a better kind, the
crops of all kinds are more certain and regular, and
on a change of tenancy, if the land ha. been well-
farmed to the lee, the landoe ner will find his pro-
perty increaaed in value, chiefly through the enterprise
.d his tenant. But it is clear that the tenants find
this practioe, on the whole, remunerative, and its
continuance and success are of national importance.
They I le.ire m.zne security greater than a six months'
notice and a yearly tenancy in England to prevent
the =recouped outlays of the last years being loot to
them ; and when farms are hell on lease, whether in
Scotland or in England, they desire some similar
security for the outlays made in the concluding years
of the term.
Two o=4 have been offered to the country --one,
the Landlord and Tenant Bill ~f Mr. Howard ; the
other the two years' notice indicated by the Prime
I Minister. Mr. lloward's Bill is limited to England,
it invoh es a complicated machinery, and in certain
circumstances the intervention of a Gorerntuent Office
to put it in motion. But. Leyond this, its acceptance
I by the now dominant parte in Parliament is under-
'stood to depend on the withdrawal of the 12th clause,
irichent which its authors think it would he of little
value, Mr. Ifiiraelfs two years' notice thus becomes
the probable substitute, and it 6. In Principle, applic-
able to all tenancies, whether yearly or leasehold,
whether in England or Scotland, and its action would
be sponuumous and comparatively simple. It may not
he so complete a security as the tenant farmers desire,
but with the conditions which the presence of Mr
Clare Read in the Government will no doubt insure.
for it, the farmers are likely to find in it a valuable
addition to their present security. In the first place
notice would be Irmo frequeut and tenancies lees likely
to be disturbed, for a man will be loth to give a two
yesre. notice with silt reasonable cause. In the cam ..f
leates, the two years notice would necessitate the
timely cuosideration of the question f renewal vs
that neither party should he taken by surprise. But
the two years notice would be not only incomplete,
but positively injurious if it slid not also embrace pay-
ment to the tenants for their usexhausted outlays.
Those might be clammed under two heeds—temporary '
and permanent; the first to compriee all outlays foe
