the poems Of Mrs. Hemans and others about
the cottage homes" the merry homes"
'the stately homes" would be taken aback
if they were to visit rural England just now.
| One hundred Of once magnificent estates are
now tenantless In some counties near 80
per cent OF the land is out of cultivation, and
all, as far as may be, rented for the boxes.
| Property is a drug, and rent rolls are rapidly
diminishing. In olden time every English
man who had made money invested it in land
property, with the object Of founding family
| dynasty. The East indians, :" the nabobs,"
as they were called, spent fabulous
sums in the good old days Of the rotten bor-
oughs in acquiring estates which brought with
| them seats in Parliament, and in later times
| the cotton lords and other capitalists of in
dustry suak their fortunes in the manor, as
sured Of perennial income and contented
tenantry. AL this belongs to a past age.
The tenant, manacled by feudal customs and
| oppressed by tithes and big rents, is unable
! to face American competition and i've. and
abandons the farm to swell the angry moo in
the boroug's The laborer is no longer salts
fed TO live from hand to mouth and enjoy the
bliss of ignorance. He wants land OF his own,
and threatens to take it if it is not given to

active propagandists of judaism, and insists
on the franchise, not as favor, but as
right, of which the squire and the parson
have defrauded him through all these years.
The clergy do not fare much better than the
