In England the proper ratio of doctors
to population is said to be one to I, 200,
but by this rule there are ,943 too many
doctors in London, and while 600 die
every year, 1900 new ones are turned
out. Competition is SO great that in some
parts Of the city doctors will see a patient,

Interest in the Parneu

Dying Out.
THE GOVERNMENT LAND PURCHASE
SCHEME,
Flashes Across the Casle.

tosD6N, November 90 Since the AZ.
semblng Of Parliament public interest In
'Ee proceedings of the Parnell Commits
SION has been verJ perceptsbly lesscned,
and :he attendance at the sittings consid-
erably decreased. The Times aud the
FftemaH's Journal, representing the two
extremes. are now the only papers in
either England or Ireland which are pub
fishing verbatim reports OF the Commits
sion's work, and the number Of
readers of these reports Is mani
festly falling off General inter-
interest now centres in the Oytrnments
land purchase scheme introduced by Irish
Solicitor General Madden in the absence
Of Chief Secretary Balfour, by the pro-
visions of which the Government be-
comes direct landlord. The Parnellites
argues that the scheme is simply lever
for the exactiOn of arrears from ten
thousand tenants who are now merely
care-takers and are ready TO swallow any
kind Of bait rather than submit to ejec-
tion, and this view is entertained gener-
ally by the Liberals.
The Pail Nal Gazette prints sw0-col-
umn interview with Henry George in
which that gentleman declares that the
Governments purchase scheme Will
prove an abortiye as a measure afordiug
the relief its promoters pretend to be
seeking to confer upon the Irish tenants.
The creation of an army of small land
lords will not solve the problem, and the
old system Is certain to come back In q
most aggravated form. Mr. George will
remain in London a fortnight, during
which time he expects to deliver several
speeches having direct bearing, and
doubtless exerting some influence, upon
the operation of the bill.
