OF giving the landlords license to evct without mercy
Mr. Parnell and the Irish party WILL by the introduc-

Therefore those prevent its passage will be respon

eousy opposing the bill, but 1t is sig
nificant indication of public sentiment respecting Mr..
Chamberlan's political acts that his avowed intention

his only aim is to keep Gladstone out OF ohice
Ihave reason to know that great portion OF tAe
landlord class would welcome Mr.. Parnelrs Dill as
means OF escape from their present plight They nave
nothing to gain by ejecting tenants who cannot pay
their demands This bill offers them ready means OF
their fair proportion OF such rents as are pay
able, while leaving them at peace.
At Woo iford a force OF 900 men, after more than
weeks arluous campaigning, succeeded In evicting
four ten ants There was no boodshed but the coat was
out OF all proportion to the due these buildings
This is an ilusi iraton OF the enormous expense ana
labor that would result from wholesale eviction pro-
ceedings on the part OF the landlords No reasonaOie
man can doubt their interests would be beat served
by supporting the bill f. +. GILL; NJ. r.
