WE have been asked to state the pro-
visions of a1r. Parnell's bill for the pro
lection of Irish tenants, which has
been defeated in the British Parliament.
As the object sought to be obtained by
the measure, will not be abandoned by its
friends on account of the temporary
reverse, it is not out of place 10 explain
its leading feature:
Clause l enacts that the Land Court
shall be empowered to make a tempe
rary abatement of rents when it shall
deem such action just and eXpedient in
cases OF holdings governed by the act of
1881, provided half the rents due or
half the antecedent arrears shall have
been paid, and it shall have been proved
to the satisfaction of the court that the
tenant is unable TO pay the balance with
out losing his holdings or deprive him
self Of the means to cultivate or stock
his holding.
Clause > extends the provisions of
clause / to the holders Of unexpired
leases and TO the lease-holders whose
leases have espired since the act of 1881 |,
and have been renewed on a basis of a
yearly tenancy under the old condi-
ton of the lease.
Clause empowers the suspension of
eyictions, on payment of half the rent
into the court, until the case Is decided.
The defeat Of this humane measure Is
a calamity. 1t will encourage the land
lords to demand still more vehemently
their pound of flesh.

A Favorite of the State Pr. SIS.


fzzoo City Herald
A very great number Of our exchanges
are speaking in the most complimentary
terms of Maj Ethel Barksdale, always .
favoTite of the State Press And every
word they say is well deserved. Mai
BarksdaIe has been one OF the hardes,
workers for the Democratic party, and one
OF the most useful men for Mississippi. A
man of frst-rate ability. his talents have
been put TO good use. We had hoped to
see HIM again the nominee for Congress Ia
his District, but the fates ruled otherwise.
and we would be- glad to see him placed in
some other position in which be could
serve the people. Maj. Barksdale has al
ways proved conscientious official and
regarded public Office as public trust In
Congress he was untiring and keenly alive
to the interests of his State and the South
No matter where he is put we bel.eve he
will always be found doing his beat, and
his best would II aect credit on any man
in Mississippi.
