THE IRISH LAND BILL
BalfOur Outlines the Provisions
 of the Measure.
TORY CURE FOR 1RELAND's ILLS.
Parnell and Davitt Say uhe Scheme is ir
 the Interests of the Landlords.

Gladstone Calls 1t a Bold Measure which
 Involved the British Taxpayer-Prince
 Hisn arck's Refusal to See the Prince
 of fwales-Twenty-two Houses Destroyed
 by Fire in Italy.
 LONDON, March 25.-In the House of Commons last night MT. Balfour intro- duced the Governments bill for the purchase of land in Ireland, the pur- pose of which was to improve the poorer and more congested districts.
 He declared that 0 universal agree mont was a necessity in order to increase the number of occupying owners in Ireland, and argued the practicability by reason that land was cheaper in Ire land than in England. He refuted the policy of excluding landlords from rural social life, taking the ground that to the we'll being of those who were not landlords. There are now, he said, five bodies for the valuation and sale of land. This bill proposes to amalgamate them into one.
 He denied that there was any reason for the suggestion chat the introduction of Land Purchase bill was compulsory, except through the necessity of such measure. If landlords were compelled u SeAA, tolduCS OuSAC IO De IuaOo to buy. The Government saw no possi- bility of instantly transferring lands from owners to occupiers.
 Some degree of British credit could be used to secure landlords against loss, though the British taxpayers should have no risk. The bill encouraged the landlords and the tenant to bargain as to the price of holding. If they fail to agree the question of price was re- fered to the Land department, the off cials of which, fixing the conditions, they must be adhered to. Parnellite laughter.
 After further elaborate financial de- tail showing how the imperial exchequer was secured against default, Mr. Bal four defended the scheme as without any conceivable risks to the imperial taxpayer, while the 933, ,OO0, ,O00 advanced under the bill, with tle f10,0O0, 900 of the Ashbourne act, would establish a perpetual fund from which future purchases of tenants might be made.
 MT. Parnell says he is opposed to the bill; that it is simply bureaucratic affair and the tenant is left without protection of any kind.
 MT. Davitt says he is against the measure. He considers it an insidious proposal to secure to the landlord about forty per cent more for his land than he would get in open market.

Going for the Cows.

Come, Jennie, to the pasture lot
With me to bring the COWS,
Gust DER the hill, a pretty spot,
Where Blink aud Brownie browse;
The brook is glad near by it grows
A lily here and there;
Beside It, too, there's bud and rose
To wear upon your hair.
The sun Is going slowly down,
But there's no dew Us yet;
No need to lift your Sunday gown
For fear of getting wet.
The thrush will sing his vesper song,
The blackbird spread his wings,
Tho swallow dip and hy along
The brook that for him sings.
Ven walk so light and talk so low
They'll never know we're near
IIl-at The bars the toll foregO-
If that's the thing you fear!
So, Jennie. come this once for me,
Nor purse your dainty lips
To make the bud that temrts the bee
And bushes when he sips!
