IR1an LAND QUESTION.

LONDON, October 8.-The mass meetingl
which yesterday assembled all over Ire
land 10 discuss the famous land question
form to-day q theme Of lively debate. Ac,
cording TO this mornings papers, they
show that two currents are at work.
The more moderate men advocate as a
practical step the concentration Of oil the
country'S energy in procuring o total
change Of the existing system Of Irish land
tenure, and in making the farmers either
owners Of the soil or joint owners with the
landlords. This scheme would involve
little dislocation OF existing arrangements
for the distribution OF land. It could be
accomplished by developing the prinCi.
pies OF Mr.. Gladstone's Land Act. The
majority OF experienced parliamentary
men supportthis view.
Mr.. PGrnell aud others OF the more ex.
treme section, say that 1t is an excellent
plan In itseli, and yet does not meet the
urgency Of the impending crisis. The ten.
ants should refuse 70 pay rents which have
been alwaysoppressive, or which are made
so by the pressure OF hard times. II they
were 10 stand together all over Ireland
they could not be driven off the land.
There was no need Of physical force; pas.
siye resistance would secure the victory.
p Mr.. William Shaw, NJ. p, has declared
that the results Of the present harvests
were not 50 bad as in the past two years.
The people Of Ireland need not be alarmed.
The crisis Is exaggerated by selfish men
for their own private purposes. But as
for the landlords, their letters prove that
as class they are frightened. There IL
no doubt that they will resist, and that
they will strive to obtain from the govern.

resistance
