THE twenty fifth annual convention
of the United States Brewers Associa-
tien will be held in the City of New
York, on the nineteenth instant. In the
call for the meeting the officers of the
Association speak words of good cheer
to their fellow brewers. They dwell upon
the hopeful outlook of the trade, and
urge a strong and effective exercise of
corporate capability in order to subserve
certain interests. The Washington Sen
tinel, edited by the attorney of the asso
citation, is rather more pessimistic IL
deed, he looks gioomily upon the pro-
gress of prohibition, and admits that
the future is full of grave apprehension.
The Sentinel says: AT no time have
matters looked more gloomy than at
present. North, West and South the
enemies of personal liberty are actively
engaged in enslaving the people by high
license laws, with prohibition features
or by outright prohibition. Iowa and
Kansas seem to be entirely subdued, and
even here at Washington we have reason
to look with apprehension into the
future" just so. And the organ of
the brewers being witness, prohibition
is not failure. Friends of reform,
close ranks and march forward The
enemy is ready to rum. Q. Christian
Advocate.

THE IRISH LAND QUESTION.
Rents Must Come Down--The Landlords
Turn to Rot.


with regard TO the Irish land question,
the positon--though the entire press of
this country, Tory, Whlg and Radical,
tries to obscure its simply this There
Is at present no strike against rent, but
there IS strike against impossible rents.
In other words, there rs In Ireland, as
there is in every county and on every
estate In England, Scotland and
Wales, demand for reductions. In
Great Britain the landlords are having to
meet their tenants, and make the best OF
bad Job. And this is exactly what the
landlords In Ireland will have to do yet,
and would do now if the uninstructed
press of this country would only give over
cockering them up with false hopes. The
state of the case is this-and every resi-
dent Irish landlord knows 1t until he for

of the Times leading article: The
Irish farmers can't sell their cat

/ loss-to sell on almost any terms, if only
| to avoid the expense of winteT-keep; but
( they can't sell at all. The beasts are
| driven about from fair to fair and no one
even asks the price of them. This is tue
story that Is coming in from all parts OF

the government to stand firm and the
| landlords TO "kccp stiff backbone. ~

result. As to remedies, one thing at
