MAYOR II HARRISON contends that he speaks
In the intercstof the poor people, who cannot
afford to build brick houses; but, in the ILL
tcryiew i'll which he aired his opinions, he
betrayed his self-interest BY retnarking that
he owns some acre properly on which he
maintained that he cannot afford to erect
brick buildings, but might build pine shanties
and enjoy the rental thereof. This would
look as though his proposed modification !"
is intended to favor the pine-shanty capitalist
rather than the "poor man, 1t does not
seem to have occurred to him that, if he has
money enough to build ten frame houses Oh
his property, he has also money enough to
build at least eight or 7tinc brick houses, and
that he might begin with the latter number,
which would yield very nice revenue, and
subsequently construct two more out of his
rentals. Perhaps it is not too much to de-
mand of Mayor Harrison, as well as other
capitalists, that this much concession be
n!ade to the general safety Of the city.

THE difference between the cast of woot4n
shantics and brick cottages is iguorantly
exaggerated. People do not stop to think
tllat the only difference is the Increased cost
OF the four br:c, walls which surround the
house over that Ut the pine Shell. II 2o.O00
bricks are used ln constructing The wallis OF

We venture the assertion that the sum is not

AMONG the Irish members who refused to
vote for the third reading of the Irish Land
bill are Parnell- Biggar, uealey, Redmond,
Arthur 0'Connor, Le;uny, and 7. r. O'Con-
nor. 1t is reported that these gentlemen left
the House amid "de1isiye cheering: 1t is
quite probable that this little band Of sex
tre1nists," as they are called, may be the
nucleus Of what may become very for.,i-
dable party in the House of Commons.
Pa1neu has been+ and still is, the most popu-

honesty Of purpose, and the other members
mentioned together with Sexton, Parncil,
and T. u. Sullivan, may be called the
brains OF the Ilomc-lsule party. They
are all young men of independent fortunes
and Of considerable literary ability, one Of
them, T. P. O'Connor, Of superior literary
ability. They are all contributors to the new
I4and-League organ, the Irishmn,l, and are
the most potential political factors in Ireland
