Most sensible persons. we presume, will prefer
to believe that the physicians will not make
the change unless they are sure not only that
the President can survive it, but that it will
be benefit to him. 1t is known that the
President has repeatedly expressed a desire of

CHANGES IN THE LAND RITZ

The fundamental idea of the Land bill, which
has received the Queens signature this week. is
the recognition of the tenants share in the
ownership of the soil. Under its provisions he
Will have fxity of tenure for fifteen years ON
the payment of a rent which may be adudged
fair and reasonable by special court and he
will have the absolute right of free sale of any
improvements he may have made and also of
whatever is Implied by the good will of the
occupant. The principles familarly known as
the " Three Fs" are incorporated in the mea-
sure: Fixity of Tenure, subject to revaluation
at the end of fifteen years; Fair Rents, as adj
judicatcd by a tribunal of which the tenant has
no reason to complain and Free Sale of that
new species OF property which has been created
by the peculiar conditions of the Irish land sys
TEN and which was only partially legalized
in the Land Act of 1870. The Land Commits
sion is empowered to advance to tenants three
quarters OF the money required for the pur-
chase OF farm. and also to promote emigration
to limited extent. but these are side issues.
The main object of the measure is to remove the
sources OF discomfort at home by providing re-

After all our criticism of medical men, our conf
dence in them, to whatever cause il NAV be firth
uted is remarkable. We find fault with them when
are well, but send for them all the same when
we are ILL., To-day, when the great heart of the ma
ton is fevorsh and heavy with anxiety the bull
letlns OF the physicians III charge of the President
eagerly read, and are, in fact, almost our sole
source of information. What they say is received
the truth with but little sceplcism. Their meth
DDS have been complained of, their skill has been
doubted, and IN some quarters those employing
them have been charged with suppressing the
worst; but there IS 10 demand that thoy should be
relieved from tho grea, responsibility which is upon
them, there would be from one end of the countrv
to the other If confidence In them had ceased. The
weight OF that responsibility ought to be remem-
bcred. Tho Presidents physicians have indeed
much to gain should thoy rescue him from the Jaws
death; but, upon the other hand they have much
to losc-either justly or unjustly-in professional
reputation should they fail to bring him safely
through They probably comprehend. as well
as the community can the delicacy and difficulty
OF their position. and might well ask if the
citzens OF the United States expect them to work
miracles, or to reverse tho laws which govern tho
human frame. They are crOss-exaInned by the

about their utcrances they are accused of keeping
back the truth. 1t will be we'll to remember that

The capture of two Russian staff officers in
Austrian Gallicia, where they had been exam
lining the Notifications in Disguise may give
rise to some recrimination, although there is
no reason to suppose that the act has any imme-
diate significance. In Europe each of the great
Continental Powers knows that its armaments
are closely studied by the others, and that any
information about them which cannot be pro-
cured openly is invariably secured by stealth
1t may be that extreme judicial reserve and
dignity are not to be expected of our police
justices, who often act as peacemakers as well
as judges, and are to be allowed, no doubt, to
indulge in easy Obiter dictd. But it is free
dom which may be easily abused, and we re-
spectfully suggest reflection upon that point
to the Justice who said yesterday, in COM
mitting man who had been guilty of muir
derous assault: If you had attacked me i'm
that way, you would have been a dead man
now"
The hopeful terms in which President CAL
deron, of Peru, spoke when he received Minister
Hurlbut as representative in the place of
Mr.. Christiancy do not seem warranted in
view of the disorders which occur when the
Chilian garrisons are withdrawn from small
Peruvian towns. Such places become at once
of one town having been beheaded publicly
by the brigands. The collapse of the little
authority which ex-President Pierola still ex-
ercised is the only encouraging sign which the
distracted country affords.
Governor Fremont, in discussing elsewhere
the dangers to be expected from the Apaches
and the difficulty Of effecting any arrangement
which shall promise cessation of trouble in
the future, repeats suggestion which, if we
are not mistaken, he was first to make some
years ago. This was that by joint action of
the United States and Mexican Governments
the Apaches on both sides of the border should
be removed to Lower California, which has
width at the border line of only $50 miles.
This could be easily guarded by posts of the
two armies, and these vicious tribes kent
under surer control. Once confined within this
reservation, it might be found practicable IN

THE PARLIAMENT HOUSE at Ottawa is
not big enough to seat the increased repre-
sentation accorded by the new census of the
Dominion. What to do about it is now the
question. Critics on this side of the line,
guided by the light of experience, seriously
advise their Canadian neighbors to save
both money and trouble by cutting the rep
resentation to fit the house, instead of build
ing a great capitol to be filled with the I'M
manageable mob that results from the in
crease of numbers.
