HOW THE TORIES HAVE HELPED THE PREMIER INTO
THE DIFFICULTY.
This is very easy Of explanation The government
proposed an amendment giving to the tenants not
only compensation for improvements, but also for
mere occupancy IN the case Of eviction This propo-
sltIOn acted like charm upon the dormant con-
servatves and stirred them up to nigh wrath and In.
dignatlon. You are creating new right, they
shouted. "You are interfering with the rights VI
property. You are recognizing simple occupancy as
prOpefec You are doing what will upset the whole
land laws Of the United Kingdom" And so for two
nights the shrek went OD led of by willy Mr.. Dlsraeli
against the Ministry, only TO have them swept back
in defeat "YOur bill" argued that right honorable
gentleman, "awards seven years. damages to any
tenant who is put out Of his holding. Your bill
further makes simple disturbance OF occupancy
lust ground for compensation. What will be the
consequence Why, tenant may remain ON his
year for seven years. lie may then misbehave
in way that shall cause the landlord to evlct him.
And what happens nexts Why, the tenant puts In
a claim for compensation for seven years. occi-
pancy and gets back the very seveny pounds which
he had paid In rent. He goes of rejoicing, having
had the OF the farm Tor seven years Tor nothing,
and the landlord is left to hang his harp upon the
willows and bewail his hard fortune" Admirable
as was the reasoning, lngenius as was the argu-
ment Illustrated as 1t was by all Mr Dsraeis brll-
liancy and adr0itness the House refused to listen to
the voice OF the charmer and the government trl-
umphed Clause No. gives damages for wrong
or arbitrary eviction, and there for che present the
matter ends. The Irish national party are IN rap
tures but the conservatives are resolved to fight the
principle to the last and are throwing out hints as
to "what the Lords will do"
