11IE REMOTER CONSEQUENCES OF MR. GLADSTONE'S BIM,

The Saturday Review declares that Irish Land Bill will
have consequences that will operate widely beyond the shores
of Ireland. It is based on novel principles that must pro-
duce their effect on the minds and fortunes of Englishmen.
It is a marked symptom of a great change that i 3 going
on, and which it wiil necessarily augment, in the opinions
.of many imptirtant of Englishmen. The.ie remoter
ents,viences of the Irish Land Bill are well worth con-
isdering. Not that a perception of them need stand in
the way of the measure, or that we are called on to pro-
ii.)unce them bad or good: At present it ,is sufficient to
r,cognise what they are, and to see in what direction this
1)111 is carrying English society. It is obvious that the
• pssition of English landlords will rapidly become like
that of Irish landlords. The landlord will be a
capitalist, with an investment yielding him a small but
Acreasing return in the shape of rent. The tenant
viii be the practical manager of the estate, holding
for a long term enough to make his management a
rewx;nably good speculation. The labourer will be settled
on the estate, with a plot of his own, to which he can if
he pleases :;'ive an increasing value that he can call his
eva. Landlords may, as Mr. Gladstone points out, have
a most useful and happy existence under such a state of
timings, but their position will be different from that
Atieli it is now. There is a keen-pleasure in domineering,
and ;English law and custom have in old days enabled the
landlord to enjoy this pleasure to a large degree. Already,
under a number of combining influences, the enjoyment of
this pleasure has become rarer, and the Irish Land
will only mark in a significant manner that the era of
irresponsible landlordism, with its 'evil and its good—and
the English landlords. have largely exercised their power
for good--is drawing 'to a close. The new order of things
will, we trust, be better than the old ; but it is impossible
to be blind to the fact that the passing of the Irish Land
Bill will proclaim that a new order has begun. .
