THE 1RIsH LAND COURT.

When Mir Smith, the Registrar of the Irish Land Court, opened the court on Oc tober 19 his tongue slipped and he proclaimed that ''the Court of the Land League" was open. Mir. Jennings, the London corre-
 spondent of the New York World, thinks
 that Mir. Smith unwittingly told the truth in his proclamation. The Land commission is
 court of final jurisdiction, and there is no
 appeal against it's decisions, not even to the
 House of Lords. The sub commissions, says
 MT. Jennings, are composed of barristers,
 solicitors and expert valuators, chosen quite
 as much for their liberalism and adherence
 to tenant-right as for their personal fitness
 "These commissions go on circuit from place
 to place and deal with the tenants case al
 most at his door, This saves him expense,
 and as the sub-commissioners. who are sup
 posed to be important arbitrators, go the length of acting counsel for the tenant
 applicant, he is also saved solicitors costs
 and is infinitely better served than if he had
 retained the biggest gun in the Four Courts. The sub-commissioners appear to act on the
 theory that the landlord is entitled to bare
 maintenance out of his property and no
 more, and their decisions at Belfast mean
 that rents are to be reduced 30 per cent, and
 that in cases where the landlord has made improvements out of his own pocket such
 improvements shall not warrant or excuse an increase of rent. To put it in asimpler way,
 the landlord is now owner of only 70 per cent. of his property, the remaining 30 per cent. going to the tenant, and the landlord cannot claim interest on his investments in the improvement of his estate. venture to say that if a measure embracing such fea- lures were passed by the Legislature of any one of your States it would be declared un- constitutional by the Supreme Court as being an act of spoliation and robbery"
 This is one way of looking at the opera tions of the Irish Land Court. The annual rental of Ireland is, in round numbers, ESQ., oOO, 1000 year, and it is thought the Land Courts decisions will cause a loss of $27,- GOO, GOO year to the landlords. It would seem that an act framed to do as much as this for Irish tenants ought to be fairly &C., cepted and tried by them.

The government of Jamaica is desirous of encouraging the planting of Peruvian cincho- na trees in the island The soil and climate are not less favorable than those in the East Indian plantations in the Neilgherry hills, whence so large and valuable 8 quantity of bark and quinine is now annually obtained. With this view the government announces that It will grant lands at a nominal price to any persons who may be prepared to embark in such an undertaking on terms calculated to insure that the allotments shall be used for this purpose only.

The MedSeal and Surgical Journal, coIn- menting on the fact that 2,074 persons be- tween and 12 years of age died in Massa- chusetts last year, ascribes part of the great mortality among children to bad man agement in schools. It declares that not only are contagious diseases spread in schools in the most reckless way, but that the health of many scholars is undermined by bad ven- tilation. It is noted that since an efficient sanitary inspection of schools was estab- lished in Brussels five years ago the health of the pupils has shown marked improve ment as compared with those of other Euro pean cities and that many dangerous epidem- ics have entirely disappeared
 A report comes from London that a con- bination of leading Radical and Liberal cap- italists has been formed to take advantage of the rulings under the Irish Land bill which are already depressing the value of landed property in Ireland. The plan is to pick up Irish properties quietly here and there as fast as they are thrown on the market by the disheartened and disgusted proprietors,. and a powerful syndicate represented by we'll known West End banking house is under stood to be now engaged in this operation.
