THE ARREARS BILL.
The Arrears bill which the Govern
ment has introduced II IN important
md useful measure. In Irish rural life
there 10 . significant phrase, THE
HANGING Gale" In several parts Of the
country the tenantsare permanently In
debt for half . years rent. Practically
the debt h never yaid or expected TO Be
peid: but It h kept over the head Of the
tenant, 20 that he IL liable to be evtCted
1t any moment. But this h = very
mild specimen Of the arrears" system.
There are tenants In Ireland who, ow-
ing 70 the rapid succession Of bad years
and the terribly oppressive tack-rent,
have fallen behind two, three, eeven-I
heard Of q case Of fifteen years' arrears.
Obviously no land legislation could be
Of the sli8hest service to tenants who
had this terrible lead Of debt around
their necks. The Pernellites pointed
this out when the land act was pag9ing
through the House Of Commons last
year, showing that, owing to these ar
reayo. numbers Of tenants could be eviCt-
ed in sipte Of any legislation In thar
behalf.
m. Gladstone and his colleagues
scorned these representations at the
time, with the result they are now
bringing in . bill dealing with the
wholesele evictions, which unpayable
arrears have caused. The effect Of the
measure will be to wipe out absolutely
and forever all these arrears. no matter
how large or how long, provided the
tenant 4 able - come to an agreement
With his landlord In reference to the
payment q one years rent; and 20 the
tenantry Of Ireland will b able 70 start
fhir. Another great advantage of this
bin h that the money to help the tenant
there to ct rid Of his debts will b .
git, and not = loan, ftom the State.
It. y calculated that %, Oo0,0 900 will b
REQUIRED f1r the purpose; and % the net
pecunjary result Of this years action BY
Parnell b that he he's got git Of no.
100000 for the tenants, and . permanent
reduction Of their rents through the
Land Courts Of between 90, 0oo, 900 and
81, 0oo, 900 year.
FORSTED POLITICALLY DEAD.
Your reader. will b delighted to hear
that Fonter h politically dead. Moth
ing indeed could b more gratifying
than tho almost univoGsal contempt
with which he h now treated BY hi
colleagues. He sits immediately behind
tho treasury bench, and Il h some COM
tort to lind that being once moro . pri-
vate member; he he's 70 scramble IKE
anybody e)ee for . seot. Whenever b
rises he n received with cheers by the
Tories; bat the liberals remain in chill
ling silence. Now that he h not In a.

wae freely, he has revealed depths Of
