lN1sI1 SITUATION.
S:xeiut ;i4bte.
: Drn!.1S, Nov. 12.-The Hhrdl1's special
says the country is still in q transition state
Applications continue to pour ini0 tie Lnlll
Court, the number up to today being 25,0J0,
but it is too early II say that the
act is generally accepted. Indeed, the
past week has developed 4 continued
determination of tenants in n:tl1y quarters
of the country not 10 pay rents without lib
eral reductions It may be considered an es-
tablished fact that the no-rcnt manifesto fell
perfectly flat. Only few instances have
come to light where people refused to pay
any rent whatever
s~' ONE AMCs1SG CASE
was at Kildare, where the tenants lodged
with the landlord the following promissory
note in lieu Of rent:
:. 1 promise to pay Ralph De Courcey -
pounds on the day Mcssrs. parnel, Dayitt, aud
The other suspects ire set at liberty.
But as general thing the tenants offer to
Jay, it heavy reductions are made THESE
being refused, they pay nothing. AS Of
old, intimidation continues, though not SO
openly. 1t has the effect Of preventing many
1rolu going into court who would gladly do
so. The Land Commissions, like the mills
Of. the gods, grind slowly, but they grind
exceedingly smull. Two commissions have
been sitting for two weeks. The two CON-
missions, III one week, have only given
q decision involving thirty-one tenants,
twenty-nine Of these by one commission.
Even with the new commissions the work ac-
complislled wiz be small compared with the
vast number Of cases which call for inyesti-
gation- This delay, like everything COLI
nected with the act, bears
AGAINST THE LANDLORDS,
for the court has decided that, WHEN the ten
ant has once applied to the court, the land
lord cannot disturb him till the case is de-
cideti, s., that, if the trial of the case be de-
layed one or two years, it is all the same to
the tenant, while the landlord may get
no rent whatever during that time.
OF course, the great reductions III rent made
BY the commissions have caused
.: PROFOUND AsToS1sl1MENT,
but the landlords arr silent. see1u ingly await
ing further decisions. No one, however,
seem; satisfied. The Tory papers are attack
ing the commissions for their sweeping re-
ductiou, while the league press says that tile
reductions are not sweeping enough.
1arncll has said that lie feared the
rents i'll Ulster would not be reduced suffl-
ciently. Ills organ, the United ireland,
says: = The Land act leaves the Irish ten
Ants dependent upon tile humor, i}iosyn-
cr:is1es, Ut fear of particular Commissioners,
and transfers the fixing Of rent from all
agent who, at all events, knows the
value IT the land to trio Of
amateurs WHO very likely do not. 1t
makes it matter Of mere chance whether
the mall's rent shall be fixed by this set of
Commissioners, who believe that . per cent
over Gritlitl:s :aluauon is liberal conces-
cession, or tll1t the Commissioners may be
and bullicd into thinking or work
nlg according to the part Of the cUuntry they
are III and the intensity Of the popular feel
Ing there.
THIS IS PERFECTLY TRUE, -
though 1t Is onl3 fair to say that the land
lords are at the mercy Of the same trio of
amateurs. But, while the public are sener-
ally willing to accept the decisions Of the
commissioners that the rents in ireland are
from Is to 40 per cent too high, there
seems much Justice in the. outcry |
assainst the principles upon which the
Commissioners haze rested their decisions. |
These principles were: First the rent Of !
Tue holding is to be decided on AGRICULTURAL |
value alone, regardless Of proximity to large
towns-that Is, If 4 person has bought all |
estate near town, he gets no more
rent than If the estate is tifty |
niles from a town or railway. though
lie paid a heavy sum OH account |
II its proximity. Next, upon the headin. as
it is found, without regard to the capab1ity |
