The Bill for Reliof of irish Tenants.

The provisions of tho compensation for
damages" bill, which passed the British house
Of commons on Monday night, and which is
now before the house of lords, with every
chance of defeat, are thus defined by its parti-
sans; "Up to 1870" says tho Liverpool Post,
"no compensation whatever upon disturbance
was given to farmers for anything they put
on or in tho land. They wero turned out at
their landlords pleasure without a farthing.
From 1870 compensation was guaranteed by
Mr. Gladstones act. But many landlords
have largely rccoupcd themselves by foic-
ing up the rents-a process called
rack rent, almost unknown in England.
Tenants could bavo no benefit on dis.
turbance undcr Mr.. Gladstono's act if they
did not pay their rents. Three bad seasons
in 1877, 1878, 1879 rendered 1t impossible for
many of them to pay their rents aud the
farmers to largo extent have IN live on
charity from England aud America. There
upon the landlords virtually say to certain
tenants; Oat you go. We won't wait, and as
you can't pay your rent we will turn you out
without the compensation which tho 1870 land
act meant you TO have, and which in Ulster
you would have without any act at ALL But
Mr.. Gladstone and Mr. Forster say No. A
overwhelming calamity shall not deprive
those tenants of the status which Is perma-
nenty secured to them (rent being paid) by
custom in Ustor, and by the statute of 1870 in
the rest of Ireland How is it to be secured
