ENGLISH LANp-LOAN.
An Important Measure That Passed the
English Parliament.

An Important Measure That Passed the
English Parliament.
In recent issue, says the Progress.
Sive Farmer, we spoke of the proposed
British land-loan to aid the tenant farm
ers of Ireland to purchase their farms
and free themselves from landlordism.
The advance thus speaks of the meas
ure:
Probably no more important meas
ure passed the English parliament
which has just adjourned, than Mr..
Balfour's land purchase bill for Ire
land It provides for the issuing by
the government of S165, 900, 900 of 2x
per cent bonds for buying out the
lands of the Irish landlords and SELL
ing them to the tenants who wish to
purchase. The tenants will by pur-
chasing obtain for the first Eve years a
reduction of twenty per cent in their
rent and after that a reduction equal
to four per cent of the purchase money.
A landlord. for example, agrees to sell,
at sixteen years purchase, q tract of
land which is paying a yearly rental
OF $3.50. The government will give
him stock to the amount of 81, 900 at 2<
per cent interest and the tenant will
obtain the ownership of the farm, sub
tect to yearly payment Of $500 a year
for the frst five years, and after that
$1e0 for forty-four years. The extra $40
levied for the first five years goes to
form an insurance fund After, that of
the $50 paid annually for forty-four
years, S11o goes to pay the landlord,
$40 toward sinking fund to repay
capital and the remaining $40 is devoted
to local purposes. principally to the
supply of laborsrs' dwellings The
measure seems to be the beginning of
the settlement Of the weary Irish land
disputes Though now fathered by the
tory government 1t is practically the
same scheme which was originally pro-
posed by John Bright in 1870"

WHAT THEN7

What VIII tho PlutOcrats Do II tho Peo-
pie Are Successful I'm the Battle OF Bal
lots?
Suppose that the people Of Kansas
should take il into their heads to elect
q pure judiciary-men who would CON-
slider the claims of justice rather than
musty precedents of forgotten past
or a stretching Of the law to cover the
demands of corporate inhuences-in
short, men who entertain ideas in har-
mony with the alliance demands, and
this in spite of the cry Of the old party
political hacks that the good name and
credit of the state Is in danger, what
then? In other words, and direct to
the point, what will you republicans
and democrats, who are com bininR to
defeat the peoples party in several
judicial districts in this state, dopif the
peoples party elect their candidatesp
The rank and file of your parties
would submit, but we'll tell you what
your leaders are fully capable of doing.
If the worst comes to the worst in
this country in which the contest for
the supremacy comes to a final issue
between the people on the one hand
and the money power on the other,
there are hundreds OF leaders in both
81 the old parties that would be the
faithful allies of the money power
1t ia entirely possible for the people,
IN their aggressiveness, in this work of
overthrowing the plutocratic influences
in bringing this country to its present
condition, to bring down upon them
selves the dangers of armed interven-
ton Of Great Britain obedience to the
demands of the English money power.
When we consider that 55 per cent
Of our railroads and As per cent of
farm mortgage indebtedness are
owned by English capitalists, with
millions upon millions invested in
mines, manufactures, state, county and
municipal securities, it Is possible that
The time may come when England may
be called upon to protect British
interests in the United States as she
has done on several occasions In other
countries. and we have men here in
this country-American citizens, lead
srs In the two old parties-who would
prove themselves tories and aid the
English money power.
We have had men in congress for
uuarter of a centuary selling them.
Ielvos for British gold with moro
treason in their hides than was ever
conceived by Benedict Arnold. Bene-
dict Arnold, IL he had succeeded in de-
hvsring West Point into the hands of
the enemy, could not have entailed
more injury upon the country than
John Sherman has done in the last
twenty years.
We are not an alarmist, but we want
TO say that If we ever have war in this
country between labor and capital
and statesmen have prophesied as much
for City years-English influences will
bring IL about, and it will come under
the guiss of protecting vested rights,
and the blow will be struck against
and to suppress the clamorings Of the
common or laborinR people, and when
Il comes all snobocFaCy viii be arrayed
against the people. Topeka Alliance

FOR the Greenhorns.

This third party trick is nothing
but a scheme to gobble up the demo-
cratic votes of the south and elect re-
publican president - Atlanta Consti-
tuition (Dem.).
kansas republicans should feel that
the sole purpose of the third party
cranks Is to elect a democratic presi-
dent in 1892. Topeka Capital (Rep.) J.

CUsTER's HEALTHFUL CLIMATE


The CHRONICLE has repeatedly referre d
to the remarkable salnbrity ofthe cli-
mate of Custer, which it is entirely safe to
say is not excelled in any country on
earth. Notwithstanding the past year
and especially the present winter has
been exceptionally unhealthy all over
the Hills, as we'll ~ elsewhere, the death
rate at Custer has not exceeded one and
a half per cent Of the population, a
more favorable showing than any other
town in the Hills can boast.
BY careful examination Of our files
we find that the total number Of deaths
occurring in this city from March 2lst
1890, to March 2lst 1891 Ito day. is
twelve, Of which number, three were in
fants, three were children under nine
years Of age, and six adults whose ages
average nearly 5S years, of which mum.
ber three were chronic cases contracted
many years before they came here.
Clusters population was nearly eight
hundred in June last, as shown by the
government census. aud a. is well ln<yn
that her population has since bStl c5il-
siderably increased, but basing Obi cal
culation upon the census report, we find
the death rate for the most unhealty
year in her history, to have been just
one, and half per cent.
Ia there another town in the country
that can show show such a remarkable
health record? We pause for reply,
fully conscious of the fact, that the pause
will be unbroken by any response.

The Pierre Free Press has just seen
spccirnens or the wondevrt sandstouc
with which the Black Hills abound.
Representative GODDARD of Fall River
county, unloaded a carload or so OF
elegant samples, no two alike, in the
Office of the editor the other day, and
the display dazzled the eyes of the
Faber. When he recovered his sight he
went into ecstacies over the beauty of
the stones, and after paying the Hills a
glorious tribute concluded his article by
saying: "There is no use talking, the
more one learns of this remarkable por-
ton of South Dakota the more of a
marvel it becomes"
Mr.. GODDARD and others are at present
engaged in correspondence with east
ern parties concerning the construction
of Black Hills building at Il Q Worlds
Fair. If proper arrangements can be
made large block ofevery known stone
in the Black Hills properly inscribed,
will be obtained and given q place in
the structure.
The idea is good one, and inasmuch
as the state legislature has not made an
appropriation for the erection of state
building. why would it not be great
advertising scheme for the Black Hills
to furnish the building entirely from its
own stone. The Hills can nut up a
building which cannot be duplicated in
the civilized world. The most wonder
ful stone, of every color, is In existence
here, and by erecting such structure as
mentioned we would advertise our
wealth in a way entirely novel, exceed
ingly prominent and never-to-be-for.

in making good showing at Chicago in
