The bottom of all the agitation that
has taken place in Ireland for the past
seven hundred years has been the land
question. Since the Normans and the
4 Welsh, the first invaders of Ireland, in
1859 set foot upon the green sod of Erin,
there has been an unceasing struggle
between the landlord class and the ten
antry for the possession of the soil. To
understand the ferceness of it, we must
recall that in Ireland the soil was divided
among the tribes. The chief, subject to
certain privileges, held only as trustee for
the tribe; and if he became dispossessed
the rights of his people were in no wise
Affected. twill therefore be understood
that when English invaders conquered
the petty chieftains, the great body of
the people believed that their title to
their respective holdings of land were
still unimpeached and unimpeachable.
This memory has never been lost in Ire.
land and needs to be kept in mind in all
eonsiderations Of Irish agitation. Handed
\ down from father to son, it has become a
cherished tradition that rightfully the
tenant, the actual tiller Of the soil, is the
real owner of the land.
In the second place, the land question
IN Ireland derives fresh bitterness from
the c0nflscation of the lands 10 English
& aliens, who not only were taught to de-
epIse the Irish natives, but were opposed
= them in creed. When British law was
substituted for Brehon law, under the
yeagn OF Queen Elizabeth, English adven-
enrers obtained dominion over the con-
quered territory, and treated the natives
- slaves. Itwould be painful task 10

Thus there were more than twice as
many evictions In 1879 as in 1876, though
the potato crop for 1876 was four times
greater than that OF 1879.

were rewarded for the betrayal OF their
people and how finally the seeds Of
Irish hatred for everything English were
planted strong and deep.
Thus these two memories Of
wrongful dspossession and hatred of
English tyranny-have grown to be part
of the land question in Ireland, and they
make that question unlike what 1t is
anywhere else in the world. As the Eng
lish historian Froude says In Ireland,
the proprietor was an alien, with the for.
tunes Of the residents upon his estate in
his hands and at his mercy. He was di.
vided from them In creed and language
he despised them as Of an inferior race,
and he acknowledged no interest In CON-
mon with them. Had he been allowed to
trample on them and make them his
slaves, he would have cared for them,
perhaps, as he cared for his horses.
But their persons were free, while their
farms and horses were his and thus his
only object was to wiring out Of them the
last penny which they could pay, leaving
them and their children to life scarcely
above the level Of their own pigs" Dean
Swift's savage and terrible satire in
which he suggested that the children Of
the tenantry be served on the tables of
the landlords, because as the landlords
shave already devoured most of the
parents, they have the best right to the
children" was grim picture of the land
laws of Ireland in the early part OF the
| eighteenth century.
1t took many years Of famlnes to bring
the agitation Of tenant rights in the land
before the English law-making power
There is no need to recall the famines of
| 1916 and 1si7, when the potato crops
failed and thousands died of starvation.
Still the rents were kept up to the old
mark, and the alien landlords sat In Par
Lament with ears deaf TO the sound OF
Irish woe. The nearest approach to any
justice for the tenant was in the land act
of 1870 which Gladstone carried through;
the tenants had demanded what were
known as the three F's, "fixity Of ten.
ure," or protection from eviction !;
"free sale," or the right to sell their good
will and "fair rent" which was the
power to bring the question of their rents
before judicial tribunal. These de-
mands illustrate the low condition to
which the Irish tenantry had fallen. All
that they succeeded in getting out of the
Land act Of 1870 was compensation for
disturbance by the landlord, but the
whole benefit was taken away by the
provision that compensation should not
begin until after eviction /; and the evicted
tenant had no place to 60 but the poor.
house.
1t Is impossible in the limits Of this
brief article to go into the question of the
land laws Of Ireland with anything like
the proper fullness. In brief they are un-
just, because they do not give the ten-
ant chance and they are enacted by
those who are inimical to the interests
Of Ireland. The courts are presided
over by those more friendly to the land
lord class than to the tenant, and the
landlords increase the rent as fast as the
tenant makes improvements. No &C.
count is taken Of famines, and the evic-
tions become greater instead of less at
these periods, as the following figures
will show:

PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR.

hfallibility is impossible in, and
perfect purity is not expected of, any
party or man, but it is a subject of
satisfaction and delight, of which
, every Democrat should be proud,
though he may find fault with
the acts both Of President Cleveland
and Governor Church, when he con-
templates the good the former has in
his tariff reform message proposed
and recommended to Congress, and
compares the administration OF the
latter with those of his predecessors,
who were parties to the gigantic
frauds hal i'll the past six years were
perpetrated, and which are to be
found in the monumental debt piled
like Osta upon Pelion, upon nearly
every county extending from Bot
tineau to Yankton and from Richlund
to the Black Hills and the Bad Lands.
Notwithstanding the hue and cry OF
disappointed Office seekers and the
howls of the republican press, Gov.
Church's administration will compare
most fayorah.5 with that of any of hi:
snreassessors, and it is safe to assert
that no such infamous special anc
private legislation as was enacted II
1888 and IS and which was never
published and is known by its title'
only, can ever be imposed upon thu
people while Governor Church hold
the reins of power.

What Am 7 TO Do?

The symptoms of biliousness are unhap.
pily too we'll known. They differ in differ
mt individuals to some extent. A bilious
man is seldom a breakfast eater. Too fire.
~luently, alas, he has an excellent appetite
ior liquids but none for solids of a morning.
His tongue will hardly bear inspection at
my time; if it is not white and furred, it is
rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out OF
order, and diarrhea or constipation may be a
symptom or the two may alternate. There
are often hemorrhoids or even loss of blood
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or fatulence and tenderness in
the pit of the stomach. To correct all this,
if not effect a cure, try Green's August
Flower; it costs but a trife, and thousands
attest it's efficiency.

Short Barbs.

As Dakota grows older and farms more
%neighborly, and stock is more generally
kept, fences will ONE more generally into
use, and barbed wire be extensively used.
There are many kinds of barbs, and the
preference should be given to the short
spurs, as they are just as effective and far
less dangerous. The work Of the barb is to
prick and warn off, and the sensitive layer
Of the skin lies near the surface, and is
reached by a short barb. The longer barbs
penetrate more deeply, and cut the fright
ened animal in its attempts to get away.
This is a point that has not seemed to occur
to many of the manufacturers but is an i'm
portant one to the farmer, especially those
who keep horses and rear eolts.-North Da-
