THE PROGRESS OF JUSTICE

The Irish Land bill is working satisfactory
ly. II there could be any doubt on the
point it is done away by the conduct of the
laniholders. They are indignant at the
manner in which it operates. They declare
that it does two utterly unbearable things
it diminishes their income, and interferes
with the right of a man to do what he likes
with bis own. They appeal against the sub
commissioners decisions, but those decisions
have hitherto been go we'll grounded tina!
their appeals have only brought out the
declaration that the doom pronounced upon
the Irish laudholders is irreversible, because
it is just. They declare they are robbed of
their rights, and that parliament must ap-
propriate a fund to be used in compensating
every Landlord for the losses an act of par
Lament has subjected them to. They are
met with the assurance that, IL compensation
for wrong done is due at all, it is due from
them to their tenants who, for long years.

INSCRIPTIONS extortioners who owned
the soil. The Scotch farmers, who have
grievances to complain of little short of those
against which the Irish have successfully
rebelled, are now demanding that their case
shall come int examination, and their
wrongs also be righted The farmers have
formed Scottish Chamber of Agriculture,
and tn at organization is taking means to Sc
cure redress, and all readers of history know
that when the Scotch set on in their cool, de-
iiberate, earnest, stern determined way TO do
a thing, they accomplish it. They have
pertinacity that even English obstinacy can
not overcome, clasp that no British dog
gedness can shake off. The Scotch mean to
have their land law, their portion of right
and justice, and as sure as the purple heather
blossoms upon their mist-covered hills they
will get it. The other week an influential
deputation from the Chamber of Agriculture
waited upon an individual who holds close
citation to the government, ana is large
landholder-Lord Roseberry. The deputa-
ton explained the views of the farmers.
With genuine Scotch directness they declared
that the difficulties they were seeking to re-
dress were not the mere result of
bad seasons, temporary state of things
which would pass away with better harvests.

his being himself large landholder, Lord
Roseberry concurred with these views, and

rHE RuaRY CoLoNY.

The Chattanooga Times, of Monday, re-
ports an interview with Mr.. Richard Hart,
prominent Rugby gentleman, who said the
colonists there we're near despair and not
far from insurrection. When Mr. Clark was
manager all went we'll; but the vice-presi-
dent thought no manager was needed, and
after Mr.. Clark went away things got wrong;
several parties have sold out and left; share
holders are disguised more would go if they
could sell without too heavy a loss. There
is no business; the two sawmills stand
still. The vice-president is blamed and
charged with thinking only of his own inter-
ests, and with being arrogant and unbeara-
bic, desiring TO be acknowledged the supreme
power. He disregards appeals to him, and
is 50 dictatorial that a memorial is to be sent
to the board in London, which the Rugby
people think ought to get to work and fulfill
its promises. The reader will probably think
the Rugby young men should get to work
themselves, cut logs and start those two saw
mills, and not wait in despair and near to
instruction for somebody to help them.
They want little of the American spirit
put into their dropping souls.

Tory journals are in state or noisy iDdig-
nation at what they call Gladstone's per-
sists mt discourtesy and disregard toward the
queen. When she came to London the other
day to hold levee, the premier, under pre-
tense of illness, remained away, but revealed
the true state of affairs by attending parlia-
ment the same night and making one of his
most brilliant and effective speeches on the
governments Irish policy. But why the
queen or the tories should resent the pre-
mier's abstention it would be difficult to say,
since the queen dislikes her minister keenly
and hold- it hardship to have to tolerate
him at all. When not in office she has per-
sistently signalzed her aversion by refusing
to invite him TO royal entertainments. When
the liberals triumphed in 1880 she strove in
every way to avoid calling him to office, and
as he knows she never can forgive him for
crushing Disrseli and Jingoism, he takes
the only dignifed course in avoiding her
presence.

CINCINNATI, February 24.-This week has
been a memorable one as marking the high
est stage of water in the Ohio river since the
great flood of 1S47. Experience shows how
completely the industry of the city may be
Frustrated by flood. 1t was impossible to
transfer freight from one railroad to an
other, to approach the elevators; hence
all delivery of grain was practically stopped.
This stopped business on Change, and as a
large Dumber of commission houses and
manufacturing establishments, including all
the distilleries, were compelled to close by
the rising flood there was indeed serious
check to business, which was felt in all de-
partments of trade that depend on the use
of rail and river transportation. The river
has now receded feet from the highest
point, and the water has just got below the
furnace doors of the distilleries. By to-
morrow, or Monday at the furthest, they
can start again, we'll as all

So. LOUIS.
Money i'm Fair Demand-General Job.
bling Trade Slow.

ST. LOUIS, February 24.-But little can be
said about trade during the past week. The
heavy rains of Sunday and Monday, and the
consequent almost complete inundation of
the surrounding country, resulting in the
temporary suspension of railroad traffic and
distribution of mails, brought business nearly
to standstill. Yesterday and to-day, how
ever, more animation was apparent, the
mails began to arrive, and some of the least
crippled of railroads began to receive freight
again; but it cannot be said business is fully
resumed, nor will it be until next
week There has been fair local
demand for money, and the counter
business has been moderate; outside of thi,
nothing can be said, as the rate remains
at 8 per cent, with New York exchange
weak at 100 to I25 d scount. The general
jobbing trade of the city has been quite slow,
owing 10 the restricted shipping facilities, but
there is no quotahle change in prices. On
Change wheat and corn have had occasional
upward spurts, but the movement has been
downward and the close of each day showed
decline until to-day, when wheat stiffened up
and closed l to &c above the lowest prices of
the day. Provisions were slow throughout
with no speculative movement and only
fair jobbing trade, at easier or at lower prices.

JOHN CHINAMAN.

The European newspapers are cri'icising
the inconsistency of the American people.
They call it "paradoxicsp and "incon-
sistent" for US to claim that our government
is the asylum for the oppressed of all nations,
while closing our doors in the face of the
Chinese, the most oppressed people on earth.
In inviting immigration to the asylum for
the oppressed, of course the people of the
United States have reference solely to those
who are influenced by love of freedom and
who can assimilate 10 our institutions. The
foreigner who comes to America loving the
land of his birth more than he can ever love
the country of his adoption is not desirable
accession to our population, for he can never
become a loyal citizen. The immigrants
from Europe absorb and are absorbed by our
Institutions, and they are a welcome popula-
ton. But John Chinaman will not absorb or
be absorbed. He comes as an adventurer.

in preventing further Chinese immi-

immigration as will add to the general glory
and prosperity of the country. The Chinese
empire could spare two hundred millions of
its dense population to advantage. The
despots of Europe, who are criticising our
inconsistency, would rejoice to see this num-
Der of Cinnamon emptied into the United
States, because it would give us a surfeit of
immigration, and prevent any outlet to the
