The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1879-09-04
Farming in England.

In England and Wales there are, in
round numbers, 37,25O,000 acres, and
1850, 900 acres, or nearly one half, are
owned by 1900 persons. Three OF these
persons own 100000 acres. In Scotland
there are 100000 acres, of which g.,
100000 are owned by 20 persons. The
Duke of Sutherland owns 100000
acres in Scotland, and nine-tenths Of the
area of Scotland is in the hands OF less
than II, 900 persons One-half Of Ire
land is owned by less than $50 persons,
and two-third by less than 1000 These
numbers are very small in comparison
with the dense population of which they
are part. The land laws now demand
special attention because the influence of
America has made farming in England
Improbable, even it is said, upon farms
for which landlords charge no rent. By
the law of entail, which many Americans
know only by the part it plays in the
novels they read, the landowner can, by
deed or will, keep his estate intact and
from being sold for many years after his
death, and as his heirs usually renew the
deed or agreement, many estates have
been tied up in this way for hundreds of
years. This law withholds much prop
erty from good management, and favors
the imposition of membranes for which
tenants have to pay in increased rent.
The law Of primogeniture and the law
which allows landowner TO make
lease for 999 years also tends to tie up
estates and keep land out of the market.
Another law gives to the landlord any
thing which q tenant adds to his farm
such as barn, greenhouse or a mill
as soon as it is added, and works directly
against agricultural improvement. By
the law Of distress, the landlord RECEIVERS
from tenant who cannot pay his rent,
without ordinary process of law. He
simply seizes enough of the tenants
cattle or furniture to satisfy the debt at
public action, and those whom the farmer
may owe for the cattle OF furniture can
do nothing. While the English farmer
could make living at home these laws
could be endured; now. when he cannot,
he must come to America, where farm
ing pays; and he will be seen ere long en-
the broad lands OF orr Western States or
those which lie Just above car northern
boundary.

A Valuable Work.

The State Department has prepared
for publication and will have ready for
distribution ere long, the reports OF the
United States Consuls on the condition
of labor in tho several countries of
Europe, which have been a subject of
special investigation by these officials by
order of Secretary Evarts. These reports,
it is said, cover all the phases of the
labor question in Europe. namely, the
rates of wages, the hours of labor, the
habits of the working people and their
manner of living, capital and labor,
strikes, trades, unions, socialism, etc 1t
appears by the reports that wages in the
United States are double those of Bel
GUM, Denmark, France and England,
and three times those of Germany, Italy
and Spain, and four times those of the
Netherlands; that the price of the neces-
saries life are lower in the United States
than in Europe; that the French work
ing people with far less wages, because
Of their steadiness and economical habits,
are more prosperous and happier than
the same class in great Britain; and that
more misery results from strikes, drink
ing, socialism and communism in Eng
land and Germany, than from all other
causes combined. Boston Journal.

Mrs. Sprague's Story.

The Providence Journal prints
letter from Mrs Sprague, in which she
says: Gas you must have surmised,
Governor Spragues dissolute life and
dissipated habits long ago interrupted
our marital relations, though 1 have
striven hard through untold humiliation
and pain to hide from the world for my
children's sal1es, the true condition of
my blighted, miserable domestic life.
About one year ago even this poor SEM
blance abruptly eliminated. After q
disgracesul orgie and arrest at Naltuck-
ct beach, with which circumstances
many people in Rhode Island are not
unfamiliar, | then sought, with my
little girls, the neighborhood Of old
friends, and the shelter of my honored
fathers former home. There, dwelling
almost within the shadow of his tomb, |
felt more secure, Mss unprotected.
There, kindly sympathy sought me out,
and though covert malice printed some
censorious comments, relief came and
our circumscribed means were adj

mode of life She speaks Of Sprague's
failure to supply her with funds, and
says that he told her she must look to
powerful Washington friend for aid.
She adds: "And to my deep distress and
modification, permitted, after a long
delay, bill for carriage hire for his
mothers use during visit to in Wash
ington, to be paid by the gentleman who
had recommended to us the stable from
which the carriage was hired. This and
other unmanly exhibitions have been in
cidental to the past year, while the
brutality of recent events--repetitions OF
similar scenes of violence and outrage
enacted in former ycars-has finally
driven US from The door. and filled the
public prints of the country with n
scandal too cruel to be endured without
redress. Nj. Conkling was, of course,
ms unconscious rs | that Governor
Sprague sought an occasion to enact the
tragic role OF an injured husband, for, at
their last meeting, not long since, Gov
ernor Sprague had sought from Mr..
Conkling not only legal counsel, but ac-
cepted at his hand favor as only the
friendliest confidence would warrant
