The Lien Law

One Of the most troublesome ques-
tons ever considered by the Legislature,
ia the adysability of repeating what is
known as the agricultural lien law,
which, in some shape or other, has had
= place in our statutes since 1867.
Az far back as 1876, it was proposed
to fasten lien on all crops, for rent and
for supplies furnished by the landlord,
and to deny to the producer the right to
mortgage q growing crop or crop to be
grown; and measure of this kind has
been presented to every Legislature
assembled since that time. From the
discussions of the subject, two conclu
sions seem to have been reached; /, that
the landlord ought to have paramount
lien for rent, and (2) that there should
be- no distinction between the supply
men whether they be landlords or mer-
chants
As we understand it, the measure
which engaged the attention OF the
House on yesterday, and which would
have passed by close vote, had not II
demand been made for the engrossmeut
OF the bill, secures to the landlord a
lien for rent, and makes it unlawful to
cucumber growing crops, The debate
was both interesting and exhaustive,
and while much was said that was not
convincing or even persuasive, little
was left unsaid that could aid in reach.
ing correct conclusion.
1t devolved upon the advocates of the
bill to point out the evils of the present
system, and to make them so plain that
those who are asked to support it could
not fail to see them. Indeed it would
seem that If the statute sought to be
repealed deserved all the condemna
ton it has received, but little argu ment
would be needed to secure that result.
The opponents, however, were as strong
rs the friends of repeal in argument and
illustration, aud nearly as strong in num.
bers
There are many things TO be said on
both sides of the question, but the
strongest argument in favor of letting
the law remain in its present shape is,
that if it is the cause of all the disas.
trous consequences charged against il
during the last ten years, the fact could
now be demonstrated with comparative
ease. That the sentiment in favor OF
it's repeal has not grown more rapidly
gives room to doubt that it is the cause
of the evils proposed to be remedied,
We do not regard the repeal or reten'
ton of the law as a necessity nor do We
apprehend that serious results will
follow the action of the Legislature on
this question whatever it may be, Should
the present law be repealed, some
friction will, doubtless, be caused by
the REIMBURSEMENT of the relations now
existing between the labor and capital
of the state, but it will not, we appre-
hend be very lasting or damaging,

that with the lien law out of the way

The Divorce Law in France.

The law establishing divorce in
France came into force on the 9th of
July, 1884, and the statistics relating to
the administration of justice in that
year, which has recently been published,
show to what extent the new law was
taken advantage of in the first five
months of its being in force. During
that short period 1,733 petitions for q
divorce were lodged, but out of this
total all but 1874 were converting separa-
ton into divorce. The total number
of petitions for separation was 3, 666
or forty nine fewer than in 1888; but of
these petitions 1856 were based upon an
allegation of adultry, as against only 1913
attributed to the same cause in the
previous year. In eighty-four cases out
of one hundred the petition was lodged
by the wife. In more than half the
petitions for divorce there was no issue
by the marriage. No definite informa-
ton is furnished as to the profession of
the different petitioners. But S21
separations were granted, while 1857 of
the petitions for divorce were successful,
