When slm applied to Lord Lans do wne's

when he saw the distrOss coming "ho
told his noble master TINT It. would DO
tho best thing that had over happened
for the landl0rts-thcy would
HAVE TIE TENANTS
at their mercy" IL was this gentle
lnan's fhther who, in Ills "Rcalitics Of
Irish Life" wrote, speaking Of tho
moro terrible distress Of thirty years
ago: o:--"At least five thousand people
must have died Of starvation iu tho
Union OF Kcnmarc. They dicl on tho
ronds, md they died in the fields; they
died on tho mountains. md they died
IN tho glcns; they died ut tho Relief
Works, and they died IN thoir houses.

Justice FOrtcscue once said TINT.
nothing makcsa people rise against
Their rulers but luck of goods or ~
lacli OF Justice. Ireland has long lack
~i both, but thc concession Of tho ono
will be followed by tho advent of tho
other May il bo Mr.. Gladstonc's lot
to crown a, splendid career by tho
completion Oft the work with which
his namo is already impcrishmbly con-
ncctndT This is tho wny in which
events in Ireland appeal TO English
Radicals, and no ono would hn SUR
prisct il IN tho end Ireland gains large
assistance from tho Radical element In
the largo cities Of tho United King
dom.
1t Is mootcd that the present govern
mcnt is earnestly lcsirous to do sonc-
thing for ireland next session. Recent
articles In tho papers "combino to
show that the artificial formation OF
peasant proprietary in Ireland will
probably lorni the brunt ot,thc Minis
tcrial proposals" That this will prove
a panacea for Irish ills aud woes Is
very doubtful. but the government is
bound to try something, and whatever
II does try Il will in ali probability be
defeated. ,Whethov land bill DO in
trouuccd, Or th6plan for rcuSant pro-
prictOrship, tho end will be the same.
The two houses will bo brought into
collision, in which case tho only way
out OF the deadlock will bo an appeal
to tho cou9Wy.
Iarnelfs hopes lie uoithcr with tho
Liberals nor the Conservatives. His
rlan must necessarily be 60 bring about
the fall otthc present Ministry. and to
prepare for new elections. In that
case the gain to the home rule ranks
would hH.Ncry considerable, and, with
tho deciding majority in Parliament,
he would be able to get legislation for
Ireland and Irish affairs. If Mr..
Parncll iSa great leader and he is
working for that cnd, aud he W i'll keep
up the agitation until the Land Bill is
brought before Parliament and tho in

peal to the country.
