The London Times recently inter-
viewed several Norfolk, Lincolnshire
and Yorkshire land owners, who say
that farmers are failing right and left,
which failures are only known locally.
Many landlords after reducing rents
cannot get tenants. Several large
owners are about to take their farms
and work themselves. Several great
Scotch landlords have reduced rents
twenty and thirty per cent. To-day
the Prince of Wales agent in the
Duchy of Cornwall gave notice to
tenants that in consideration of the
present depressed state ofagriculture,
remission of twenty per cent. from
the rents for a period of three years
would be made. In no mans memory
has agriculture been so pro6tless.
This is owing in part to the bad har-
vests, but chiefly to the vast impor-
tation from America.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1879-05-22

In the caucus of Bourbons to de-
termine what should be done with
the President for vetoing the army
bill, and thus defeating their scheme
to annihilate all hindrances to stuff
ing the ballot boxes and butchering
Republican negroes, A. H. Stephens
created profound sensation by de-
claring that "to withhold the supplies
from any branch Of the government
because the President would not ap-
prove the appropriation bills contain
ing desired political legislation, would
be to make war upon the Presidents
clearly defined constitutional power,
and would be revolutionary" All
the Democrats know this as we'll as
Stephens, but none of them have the
manhood to speak the truth as we'll
as they know it.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1879-05-22

SHREwD THIEF.-For days and
months farmer residing close to
town, lost nightly some ducks or
chickens. He watched the premises
looked for tracks, and suspected first
one and then another, but all he
could discover were some fresh mule
tracks to and from the hennery. Yes
terday however, he sat up, and about
an hour after midnight, Cinnamon
came cautiously sneaking into the
yard, then a gun went off, a yell
pierced the air and all that was found
the following morning were two lit
tie boards with leather straps, soled
with mule shoes, but the chickens
and ducks were all present.-Walla
