Of both the land commits
sions. Neither the Iris!, press nor til,
Irish party has assumed any antagoni>,n to
the bill. MIR. Shaw has already indicated |
one line OF criticism, in stating that the |
fixcty of tenure OF IS years is too bricf.Nlr |
Parnell, at Dirmminghan, adhered to the |
league ofprogramnc, which aims at making
tenants owners by the compulsory co,npcn-
sation OF landlords. lie admitted that tn.
bill is an honest attempt to reconcile the in

The Pope and the Land Bill.
\ Dublin dispatch rlth., inst saws: The
Irish.C Catholic bishop, are to hold meet
ing of the Episcopal body on Tuesday to
consider the Land Bill and to determine, ii
possible, upon some course Of united action
in regard thereto. The Importance attach
ed to the subjcc: is marked cmp,,atically
by the holding ot IL meeting on Tuesday OF
Holy week, II case OF great Inconvenience
to the bishops, who must all be back to
their respective diocese Oh Wednesday
night. Nothing but a sense of the greatest
urgency could have caused the meeting to
bc held at such Il time. The meeting is
convoked. not ;y the prima:e Archbishop
of -Arnau;h, but by Archbishop McCabe,
| OF Dublin. 1t is assumed that he must
have been especially empowered b. the
Pope to exercise this act oi authority, w.ic..
he could no, do under any ordinary c;rcum
, stances. II this surni,c is correct, ana it is
not easy otherwise to account for the con
voc 'tion Of the whole Episcopal boly OF
Ireland by the Archbishop OF Dublin, /,
would indicate that tn, Holy Sct is deter.
mined to throw in the weight OF its intlu
ence with the moderate section of the heir
arc''y, and to restrain the clergy from favor
ing excessive popular demands.
