John BriRht's Views.

r.. Hon. John Bright, whose position
in the cabinet gives additional interest
20 his views, said in speech at Bir.
mingham to-day that the distressing
situation in Ireland was due to oppres-
sion and absenteeism on the part OF the
landlords and the difficulty OF Obtaining
land personally on the part OF the ten
ants. This declaration is regarded as a
notable concession to the views OF the
Irish ayitators. The sentence about the
difficulty Of tenants obtaining land per.
sonaliv' is believed to indicate change
in Mr.. Bright's views since he construct
cd the famous Bright clause" in the
Irish lani act, passed during the last
liberal administration. The clause cna-
b'ps a tenant TO obtain title TO II piece
ot land after thirty years occupan-
cv and the payment OF regular
amounts, Int the long time fixed by the
cause bel, r. the tenant can obtain the
land. making it certainty IN the major
;ty 0f cases that the tenant can never
obtain possession OF the land as the re-
ward of his lie long frugalitv, has pre-
vented the Irish tenint5 from avalling
themselves nf the terms OF the clause.
II has been rnmorel that Mr. Bright
has become Il complete convert To the
Parne,l scheme, ard that there is a dis
agreement on this point between
M.ssrs. Br ght and Chamberlain and
the remainder OF tn. Cabinet, which

The result Of the now Infamous Mavo
invasion by landlord .hlrelings with
those always constant allies OF the
Tories, the Orangenen, shows the i'm
possibility OF defeating the patriotic and
powerful combination that is now or

days in securing the crops on Boycott
farm at Loughmask. and in protecting
their own communications from il to the
