LAND BILL AND THE LORDS.
In the house of lords the Duke of Ar
gyle, Liberal, in an hours speech, at
tackled the land bill, to which, however,
he said the government appears to be
driven, as the lords, by circumstances.
He compared the government to a jelly
fish. He advised the government to tell
the Irish that they were henceforth su-
perior to the decisions of the court, and
that poverty IS no excuse for wrong. The
Duke of Marlborough, Conservative, also
spoke in condemnation of the bill.
The duke of Argyle in his speech said
there was feeling of bitterness, which
was not confined to the house, in being
obliged to accept bill to which many
had so strong fundamental objection.
Universal power, he said, is given to three
men, of valuing rents all over ireland,
which was eminently ridicu-
lous, and giving the absolute
right of sale to everybody was
eminently unjust. He particularly at
tackled the provision in the bill, enabling
the land court to interfere in losses. The
effect of the bill was to retain the poor
est class of tenants on holdings. 1t would
only perpetuate the difficulties in Ire
land No people could prosper, who,
like many Irish tenants. have been plead
ing poverty as an excuse for fraud.

DUBLIN, Aug. AT the land league
meeting tonight, Parnell said it was the
duty of the league to select cases in diff
ferent parts of Ireland to see what the
land commissioners were going to do,
and how much they were going to lower
rents That would be the crucical test,
whereby the working bill would stand or
fall
