g RENTS MUST COME DOWN. !
An English Journal That Tells Something
Like the Truth About the Land
Question in ireland.

XuC0VlOl III AkOieuOs
With regard to the Irish Land Cues
tion, the positiontheugh the entire
press of this country, Tory, Wing, and
Radical, tries to obscure its simply
this. There is a present no strike
against rent, but there is a strike against
impossible ents In other words, there
is in Ireland. as is in every country
and on every estate in England, Scot
land. and Wales, a demand for reduc-
tions. In Great Britain the landlords
are having to meet their tenants and
make the best of had job. And this
is exactly what the landlords in Ire
land will have to do yet, and would do
now il the uninstructen press ofthisH
country would only give over cockering
them up with false hopes. The state
of the case is this and every resident
Irish landlord knows it until he forgets
himself in the golden day-dream OF the
Times leading articles: The Irish far
mers can't sell their cattle. They are
prepared to sell at a loss-to sell on al
most any terms, if only to avoid the
expense Of winter-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 the story
that is coming in from all parts of Ire
land. What folly, then, to scall upon
the Government to stand firm, 7 and
the landlords to keep still backbone. =
Stiff, indeed! If they are stiff now.
they will be mighty limp in another six
months. If they do not want to break,
they had better bend The choice is not
between a little rent and much, but be-

When the Land Act was passed it
was foreseen by all persons whose eyes
are not at the back of their heads tnat
itwould not prove final settlement.
The most that was hoped for was that

have moved faster than one could have

years ago is a. rack rent How. Add
to this that the commissioners, as q
rule. took sangnine rather than des-

agriculture. The present situation is
the result. As to remedies, one thing

"a BASE HIT. \
Williamson, Third Baselnan Of the Uhiea-
go's Makes d Base Hit and Scores.

COS Makes d Base Hit and Scores.
The marriage Of Williamson, the pro-
ficient third baseman Of the Chicago.
nine, was a very romantic and happy
one. His wife was a beautiful New.
Orleans girl of good extraction. The
Chicago club was playing an exhibition
game in that city, and Flint, the
catcher, and his wife accidentally met
the young lady at her hotel. Mrs. Flint
invited her to witness the game. She
had never seen one, and knew little OF
and cared less for the pastime, but she
consented to go if Mrs. Flint would
promise not to introduce her to any
baseball people. The promise was
gwen, and the ladies attended the
game. The young lady became consid
erably interested in the playings and
seemed to have her heart set on having
the Chicagos win. The champions.
however, were getting worsted, and it,
depended on q good batsman to win the
game for them. They had the final in
nings, and three men on bases would be
left there il the striker tailed. Will
Hanson came to bat, and the young lady
unconsciously rose from her seat in her
excitement. She took in the situation,
and pulling off her corsage bouquette,
said to Mrs. Flint: IF he brings those
men in I'll throw him these flowers z
Others we're as excited as She There
was not q sound. Williamson wasthe
only ceSi one there. He got the ball
Tbs wanted agSS he sent it kiting.'''
The result WAS Giiaee ttsssifes by -thfu other
men and a home run himself. William
son made the home run straight into
the girls heart. AS he touched the
home plate and sped farther on by the
momentum Of his run, he came painting
underneath the girl with bouquet. She
raised it aloft and tossed it at his feet.
He picked it up as the cheers Of the
spectators rent the air, and he bent low
in bow to his admirers. Blushing at
her audacity she sat down and buried
her face on Mrs. Flint's shoulder. Her
exploit, however, was lost sight Of In
the rejoicing Of those who had bet their
money on the victorious club. That
night there was a reception to the club
at the hotel, and she was presented to
the home runner. They looked into
each others eyes, and the umpire cupid
cried out. "One strike. - Ex.

The New Postage Law.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
The Post Office Department has re-
ceived inquiries from all quarters as
to the new legislation ia the Post
Office Appropriation bill. 1t was Eot
possible, on account of the changes
made in conference, to ascertain what
the changes as to postage were until
the bill had been officially printed, A
certified copy OF the bill, furnished by
the State Department, has just been
received from the Government
Printer. The following are the i'm
portant changes which will take effect,
beginning with July 1, 1885.
l. The weight of all single rate let
ters is increased from one-half ounce
each or fraction thereof to one ounce
each or fraction thereof The same
increase of weight allowed for drop
letters, whether mailed at stations,
whether there is a free delivery or
where carrier service is rot establish
ed.
2. All newspapers sent from the
office of publication, including sample
copies, or when sent from a news
agency 10 actual subscribers thereto,
or to other news agents, shall be in
titled to transmission at one cent per
pound or fraction thereof, the postage
to be prepaid. This is a reduction of
one-half from existing rates.
3. Any article III a newspaper or
other publication may Ee marked for
observation, except by written or
printed words, without increase of
postage.
4 That special stamp of the value
of 10 ce>ts may be issued, which when
attached to a letter, in addition to the
lawful postage thereon, shall entitle
the letter to immediate delivery at any
place containing 1900 population or
voer, according TO the Federal census,
within the carrier limit of the free
delivery office, Or within one mile of
the post office, or any other post office
coming within the provisions of this
law, which may, IN like manner, be
designated as special delivery office;
that such specla! y stamped letters
hsall be delivered between o'clock a.
M. and midnight; that a book shall
be provided ia which the person to
whcm the letter is addressed shall
dShhoNlCdSC llS ISSVlpl, tActG hISSoSh-
gers for this special delivery are to be
paid 80 per cent. of the face value of
all the stamps received and recorded
in a month, provided that the aggre
gaze compensation paid to any one
person for such service shall not ex
ceed $50 per month; and provided,
further, that the regulations for the
delivery of these specially stamped
letters shall in no way interfere with
the prompt delivery of letters as pro
vided by existing laws and regula
tlons.
These are all the provisions of the
new law which make changes in rela
ton TO postage. The Government has
doubled the weight which may be car
red for cents, has reduced the post
age one'half on newspapers sent from
publication Offices, and has provided
that letter, for 10 cents additional,
may be Immediately delivered by
special messenger at any time between
7 o'clock in the morning and mid
night The friends of this special,
stamp feature expect that it will
materially add to the revenue.

The War in Central America.


LA Liberia. San Salvador, March
24-Carriers arriving here to-day
from the city of San Salvador report
that IN the latter place the greatest
CONSERVATION prevails because of the
approach of President Barnies, at the
head of his army. The would-be
dictator is encamped this morn
ing at the lake near Meta
phan, about one hundred
miles from here His army, which at
first was thought to number only
eight thousand, IS now said to be fully
eosbIe tnat number. He las conSid
erable artillery and cavalry 1t is said
that he IS being reinforced every day.
The most misleading reports are
being scattered over this republic,
and become still more exaggerated
at each telling. Many of the rich
citizens of San Salvador have deserted
the city and fei to the mountains,
others have taken ship from this port.
The country is full of Barrios' spies,
and the San Salvadorisn army, which
numb less than $40 men, is said
to be In state OF revolt.
MEXICO. March "a -Mariscal, min
ister of fol leign affairs, informs an as
sociated press correspondent Ikat he
had Just received news that Barrios
had invaded San Salvador with Is, 900
men. He added: 'If the moral dis
approval of Mexico and the United
States has no effect upon President
Barrios, a more decided action may
be necessary. While devotIng all
our energies to Internal reconstruc-
ton, we would deplore the necessity
of foreign war"
