HAvRE REPUBLICAN vs.. DOM PEDRO.
The Hare Republican takes issue with us in
reference to the city's financial condition, and
attempts TO evade the assertion of indebtedness
by complimenting the efficiency of the City
Treasurer. l made no reflection upon that
worthy officer, but simply called attention to
that worthless claim which the city authorities
regard as valid asset. Why not strike ii off
the books? 1t cannot be collected
In reference to the Park, if there has been n
limit to expenditures, it certainly was large; for
in 1879 the amount expended was Sl62. &c. and in
1880, S213.95. / but quoted the opinion of
many that there had been sufficient money ex-

AS to the protection of property in case of

for credit to the Council for purchasing "truck,
ladders, buckets, &C." We do not wish to
disparage their worthy efforts to procure fire
extinguishers, but respectfully refer to their own
acts Of condemnation, by calling meeting of
citizens to Suggest means to lessen the danger
of fire." The Republican seems to be SO well in
formed about the proceedings of the Council

STRIKE AMONG THE Ice CUTTERs.-Early on
Tuesday morning $50 men employed in gather
ing ice for the large ice houses at Havre de
Grace, refused to work on account of reduc-
tion of wages from $3.50 to S1.25 a day They
determined to prevent the employment of
laborers from Baltimore, and accordingly march
ed to the depot in body, with boat hooks,
hatchets and other implements, and awaited the
arrival of the train which they expected would
bring "foreign" labor. The train brought very
few passengers, and none of them looked like
Ice gatherers. The mob then dispersed, resolv-
ing not to work for less than S1.50 q day. A
dispatch was sent to the county authorities at
Bel Air, asking for protection, and Deputy
Sheriff Robert r. Carman went to Hayre de
Grace. No work was done on Tuesday, but on
Wednesday morning VIM. NJ. Oler's regular
mouthly hands worked, at Havre de Grace, un-
der the protection of Deputy Sheriff Carman.-
AT five O'Clock, the whistles blew and the men
assembled. They were told that they would be
paid Sl.5O day, as before, but Messrs. Coch-
rams and Oler's men refused to work for less
than S1.75, as they had demanded after the
strike commenced. This was refused, and the
regular hands were afraid to go to work. Some
of Mr.. Oilers hands at Havre dc Grace were will.
ling to accept S1.5O a day, but the arrival of
several hundred strikers from Perryville deter
red them. They subsequently went to work,
under Deputy Sheriff Carman's protection, and
were not molcsted. AT one o'clock all hands
resumed work at $3.50 aday.
Mayor John A. Russell, ex-Mayor Hollis
Courtney and other prominent citizens of Havre
dc Grace were active in bringing about good
feeling between the employers and the work
men, and aided in preventing any serious dis.
turbance of the peace. There are a houses in
the neighborhood of Perryville, Havre de Grace
and Lapidum, having capacity of $50, 900 TONS

The Land League in Ireland.

AS the question of the Land League Seems
to be the most absorbing topic nowin Ireland
it may not be uninteresting to briefly con.
slider the system with reference to its origin
According to the best accounts we have
the land in Ireland was, some two hundred
and fifty years ago. by "Acts of Settlement
and other contrivances, taken away from the
owners and distributed among new persons
not native to the soil so that much of it was
held, up to 1870, by those who were tenants
at will When Mr.. Gladstone came into
power, many years since, he found this con.
dition of affairs, and he pushed forward the
enactment of a law which provided that an
Irish tenant should, under some circum-
stances, receive compensation when he had
been evicted. A bonus was to be given to a
tenant if evicted, but the bonus should be
forfeited upon the non-payment of rent
Under the influence of the legislation of 1870
this system went into operation. The
famines, consequent in some measure, at
least upon the bad harvests in late years, rem
dered evictions frequent to most appalling
degree. If there was no crop, of course there
would be no payment OF rent, and as nat
ural result, there was ejectment. The first
thing to be done was to alleviate the effects
of the great famine of 1879, and as the Land
League said, to prevent eviction. Mr.. Par
nell and his associates aimed to prevent evic-
tions by permitting only reasonable rent to
be demanded, by preventing any one from
purchasing lease of land from which the
tenant had been evicted for non ayment of
rent, and by combining tenants for those OBJ
jects. Whether combination for those ends
Dublin.
Meanwhile, and during the last session of
Parliament, measure was passed to afford
relief to tenant evictcd for not paying his
rent, by extending to him the provisions of
the law Of 1870. The Land Act of 1870 gave
to the eyicted tenant u compensation for I'M
provements made even without the consent
of the landlord, but the measure of 1880 gave
II compensation for disturbance even when
evictcd for nOn-payment of rent.

of things demands special treatment in Ire
land, and it is also commended that not even
in England or Scotland is there entire free
dom in the use, cultivation or alienation of
land. How Mr. Gladstone will deal with this
problem remains to be seen. There seems to
be much hesitancy with the ministry, but it
will be better to take no steps at all for the
mitigation of this evil, than to take one which
can not be recalled.

A Good Idea,

At the last meeting of the Deer Creek Far
mers Club measures were adopted for the
purpose of establishing a series of semi-an-
nual cooperative auction sales in this county.
No one who has observed the rapid advance
which our county has made in many respects
during the past few years can doubt the benefi-
cial influences which the various Farmers
Clubs have exerted. In no respect is their
beneficial influence more felt than in the ORR
gination and development of practical ideas
like the present. Every farmer will occa-
sionally have horse or yoke ofoxen or
some young stock which he wishes to dis
pose of; Or in the changes which are con-
stantly occurring, he may find he has wag-
on, pillow or some other farm implement
which, though good of its kind, is altogether
useless to him, or which he can at least do
without. On the other hand the same sort
of changes or accidents, or what you will,
will bring it about that another farmer will
want to purchase just such articles as the
other wishes to sell. Hitherto there has been
no opportunity open market, accessible,
where these two classes could meet together
for their mutual benefit. What the Deer
Creek Farmers Club proposes to do, is to
supply this want, to provide place where
those having superfuous articles which they
wish to dispose of may bring them, and
where those wishing to make purchases may
find what they want where an extensive as
sortment of useful articles of various sorts
may attract an equally extensive assemblage
of purchasers-th securing to both buyer
and seller the advantage of competition. In
theory at least, it seems to be perfectly prac
ticable to establish sort of open market
where fair competition on both sides will
secure to both the buyer and the seller fair
market rates. The membership of the Deer
Creek Club will doubtless be represented
amongst both the buyers and Sellers and the
club is thus in position to be unquestiona-
bly, independent, and to have no interest ex-
cept to secure fairness and good faith to both
sides.
Another inducement to the establishment
of such sales at the present time is the fact
that the breeding of thoroughbred stock of
various kinds is rapidly assuming importance
in this county, and thus far very respecta-
BILE beginning has been made, with every pros
pect of a rapid increase. To make this bust
ness profitable it is essential that the breeder
have market for his surplus stock. We un-
derstand that number ofthorough-b bred cat
tie, sheep and hogs will be sold at the first
sale, and it is quite possible that in few
years the thoroughbred department will be-
come an important feature of these sales.

HAL.

THE PEACH BOTTOM RAILWAY.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of the
Peach Bottom Railway was held at Delta, on
Monday The old board of directors, with G.
r. McConkey, Esq, President, were reelected.
From the annual report, it appears that the
road transported between York and Delta, in
1880, 43,435 passengers, or IT'S more than in
1879. The amount of freight hauled was also
much greater than in 1879 The gross earnings
of the road were s36, 21sG2, against 49,, EOS. 30
in 1879. The operating expenses were
S21, PISS, being an increase of 81, 141. n over
1879, the increase being due to the necessity OF
replacing number of worn out rails and cross.
ties. In addition to the operating expenses
S11,7 25 was paid on the floating debt and
2,55650 for such permanent improvements as
were warranted by the prospective requirements
of the road. The board express the belief that
arrangements can be made that will insure the
early completion of the road to the river, n con-
summation which in theiI opinion will result in
largely increased traffic at a slight additional
outlay for operating expenses.

DISCHARGED BY JUDGE YELLoTT.-At the last
November term of Court. James b. Hutchins
was convicted on charge of assaultng John

fenced to pay 81 fine and costs, and to imprison-

served out his term, paid his fine of 81 and Sheriff
Morgan released him. A few days afterwards
he was re-arrested for non-payment of the costs,
which amounted to about 500. He then took
the benefit of the nsolvent laws, and his coun-
sci, Hon. Herman Stump, sued out writ of
habeas corpus on his behalf. The case came up
before Judge Yellott, at Towsontown, who dis
charged the petitioner, holding that the costs
were in the nature of a debt, and he could not be
detained therefor as the constitution of Mary
