GlaustOnc's Irish Land Eli,

The long .talkcd.of and much.dreaded
Irish land bill was propounded by Mr..
Gladstone in the House Of Commons last
evening, and now that its provisions
have been clearly stated and briefly de-
fined by its great author the supposed
revolutionary features Of the bill vanish
utterly, and 1t seems more like q great
benefaction to n downtrodden people
than All onslaught upon the right. of any
man or nation.
In short, the bill proposes to issue ESQ.,
100000 stock in Irish consuls, at three
per cent, 10000, coo in ", c20,00o, 900
in SO. and 80 on each year as described.
which is really TO serve as loan in
amounts needed by poor Irish tenants
who desire to purchase their holdings Of
landlords who want or are willing to sell
the presumption being evidently that
this mutual desire to sell and purchase
| will give the business q start and keep it
going.
No landlord is obliged to sell and no
tenant is obliged to purchase. but where
the willingness to sell and purchase ex-
lists and only security for the landlord

so often under existing conditions. This
bill provides funds for the tenant, secu-
rity for the landlord and fixes the terms
on which purchases may he made. These
/ terms are clearly defined in the pub
llshcd report and need not be repeated
here.
Instead Of nauguratins n terrible rev.
/ oluton and asking England 70 take risks
t. the extent of millions Of pounds it
practically asks England to take no risks,
but simply puts the financial integrity of
/ England back Of the exacting landlord
helps the tenant to an equivalent Of cash
and keeps the risk where it belongs. in
the soil and its proper working.
Instead of limiting at an aGrarian spO

two ago APPLY expressed his hope that il
might b.. 'thc first attempt in Ireland
to clear away the feudal past by a pa
