The Landlords Bill.
ParneIl Moves Rejection of the New
Scheme.

ParneIl Moves Rejection of the New
Scheme.
LONDON, April 23.--In the conn.,
mons to-day Parnell moved that the
Irish land purchase bill be rejected.
He said the measure justified the
claims of the nationalists made nine
years ago. He welcomed Balfour as
the latest recruit to the ranks of land
reformers. While accepting the
governments recognition of the
principle of the land for the people,
Parnell declared that he could not
admit the bill was satisfactory So
luton of the land question. The
experience gained by the discussion
of Gladstone's land bill in 1887
showed that the taxpayers would
not go far enough to finally settle
the land difficulty. The prese mt
bill was meant simply to enable one.
ninth of the owners of land in Ire
land, those being the larger absentee
landlords, to sell out at exorbitant
prices, leaving their poorer resident
brethren in the lurch.
Parnell said he obje cted to the bill
because it did not carry out what il
proposed, while it exhausted the
only Irish credit available. Pre-
senting further objections, he said
the principle of the bill was to pur.
chase whole estates. For this pur-
po>e "a, 10000 was ridiculously in
adequate. Ireland contained A.
100000 acres, of which area the
poor-law valuation was 99,000, 900.
AT this val uation the total at eigh-
teen and one-half years purchase
would amount to E166, 900, 600,
which sum would be pecessary to
provide a solution of the land ques-
tion.
Parnell said that the true test of
the worth of the guarantees provid-
ed would be for Goschen TO take
them to the London market and try
to see what he could realize on them.
The securities, he said, can not be
real unless they effect a complete
settlement of the question under
local authority, otherwise the
scheme is a parody on land pur.
chase, and a swindle on English tax
payers. He continued in an elab-
crate criticism of Balfour's view,
cOntending against the advantages
BalfOur suggested would accrue to
the landlords and tenants under the

FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
To Be Spent in Developing Water for
Monroyia

The result of the election last Satur-
day was better than the most
sanguine anticipated. The PROPOSE
ton to spend sum of money
to further develop our water system,
met with the unanimous and unquali-
fed approval of every voter of the muni-
cipality. The city trustees, in their
wise judgment, considered that our
water supply was inadequate for city
the size of which we all expect Monrovia
to be, therefore they called upon the
qualified voters to say by their ballots
whether the sum of SAC, 900 should or
should not be issued in bonds to cover
the expense of such improvements and
not man upraised his voice or cast a
ballot against the proposition. When
the votes were counted it was
found that they stood 146 for and 0
against. What further approval, or
sanction of their action could the retir-
ing board desire than this? More votes
were cast than at the municipal election
the previous week. 1t was evidently
considered of more Importance that
these bonds should carry than it was to
elect public officers. 1t is rare that a
community is found with such unan-
unity upon any question.
But the question of water supply is
the all-impOrtant one in California. The
sooner people realize this fact the better
it will be for them. Without water we
can do comparatively nothing. Land
that is worth from $500 to 81 900 an
acre with water, is almost worthless
without, except it be for ordinary farm
ing. But in this glorious valley, where
the orange tree flourishes in all its per-
lection, citrus fruits should be raised.
From Pasadena to San Bernardino, along
the foothills of the Sierra Madre noun
tains, the territory should be one vast
continuation of orange groves. And it
will not be many years before it will be.
Let the less favored sections attend to
the production of cereals.
To person uninitiated, the difference
between a tract of land well watered,
and one that is not, can scarcely be ap-
preciated, until a comparison is made.
For instance, compare Duarte, with her
magnificent supply of water, lowell,
we won't mention the place, but you
have seen many of them. Right in the
heart of Riverside is a tract of land
without water. 1t looks like a barren
waste to the orange groves surrounding
it. The man owning the land neglected
to secure water when it could have been
had cheaply, and the result is that while
the watered land all around him is
bringing in magnificent returns, his is
unfruitful and he now has to purchase
water at very high price.
We are glad that Monrovia did not
throw away her day of grace, but that
when the opportunity offered for the
purchase of water-bearing lands, she en-
braced it with both arms.
That the mountains to the north of us
