IRISH LAND BILL.

After an amount of delay that must
have proved far from flattering to
the self esteem of its protector, MIR. Ar
thur Balfour's Irish land bill has been
piloted through 4 third reading in the
British house of commons, and now the
lords are busily engaged in dissecting it's
anatomy. From the point Of view Of
the Irish tenant farmer, the measure, at
it's very best, was never a generous one.
But a continuance of the present course
of action of the peers threatens to make
the whole thing unrecognizable, even in
the eyes of Its fond PARENT" So far,
every amendment of the house of land
lords has been directed to the bestowal
Of greater selling privileges upon their
own GLASS, and the imposition on tenant
farmers of greater restrictions in becom-
ing the owners of their holdings. It is
far from probable that the commons
will tamely submit to the changes made
in "another place." and time may yet
ment Of the bill.
AS originally drafted, the bill provided
for a government loan to tenant farmers
of Sl5O,O00,0OO. This was a generous
sum, and its object was to enable the
tenants to become proprietors of the
lands they farm. But its acceptance
was hedged around by a number of hard
conditions. The government was thor
oughly prepared to secure itself against
any possibility of loss. Officials we're
vested with arbitrary powers. The lord
lieutenant OF Ireland was entrusted with
the power to levy special taxes. He
educational purposes or upon those for
the maintenance of the poor, but in no
case was the government to be allowed
to suffer by the tenants default.
The principle of the bill is good. Lib
erals and home rulers readily recognize
the fact. But they are careful to point
out that it's details are so intricate and
SO burdened with a mass OF verbiage
that their Interpretation promises all
manner of unsatisfactory decisions and
delays. Irish farmers in some instances
are excluded from the benefits of the
measure, and taxes will fall on rate
payers who are in no wise benefited by
it's provisions. Taken all in all, the
Measure is likely to prove a mere straw
in the current. It will not serve to
alleviate the hardships of the Irish
tenant farmer, and it will fail to win
the support of the political party whose
allegiance it al manufactured to
secure.

Sweethearting by MOONLIGHT.

The man in the moon is a very intelligent
person. says Ruth Ashmore in the August
Ladies' Home Journal. He sees a great
many things hat he never tells about, but
in this gay summer time won't you be a
little careful that when he looks down on
you he will be able to gossip to the stars
and the daily newspapers about what you
are doing, because it is SO innocent? Won't
you just remember that while the moon
looks down on you sailing at night alone
with some favored admirer, he is thinking
to himself all the time: "How foolish that
girl is to 60 out with just that one man! He
cannot talk to her and manage the boat too,
and there is certain to be trouble. Why in
the world did she not have a whole party
come out with herr" Now, that is a very
wise thought of the gentleman who lives up
in the moon. Then, when he sees you
strolling through the woods a mile from
home, and only one of the most charming
fellows in the world with you; sees you
hunting for wild flowers under his dim
light, and notices the immense amount of
interest you take in each other, he appar-
entity shrugs his shoulders and thinks out
loud: well, we'll, what a lot of foolishness
there Is in girls any way. She will catch
cold out In the night air with nothing
around her; she won't find half as many
flowers as she would if my friend. the sun,
was shining bright, and she will probably
trip over a stone or a fallen branch. Even
if she wanted to come out inst to talk to
the young man she is very foolish, be-
cause he would think she was a 4 great deal
more desirable if she insisted on
staying at home and sitting on the
veranda where all the rest of the people
are. He could talk to her quietly, and he
would think how much nicer it was for her
to be there than to be out rambling in the
woods even with him, for. if she weut with
him, it is just possible she might go with
any other nan who asked her," The man
in the moon is very, very wise. He has
looked down upon millions and billions of
girls, and he knows what he is talking
about; and if you take his advice and mine
the little bit of sweethearting that goes on
under the moonlight will be where all the
rest of the people are.

Oregon Fish and Fishermen,

The happlest man on earth is the man
who likes to fish and has the opportunity.
Therefore, the Oregon angler ought to be
happy There are, of course. many sources
of pleasure in this world for those disposed
to enter into the spirit Of the various enter
tainments, but from the days when the
disciples fished in the sea of Galilee to the
present time the angler has been regarded
as the best example of human contentment
and happiness; so much so, in fact, that in
modern times angling is spoken of as the
gentle art. Nevertheless, fishermen are
looked upon, the world over, as great liars.
| don't know why. Anglers, as a rule, are
gentlemen; and gentlemen will not lie. Ig-
norant. worldly people imagine. because
the angler comes home with a basket of
tingerlings and a story about hooking and
losing a monster that carried away his fly,
leader and maybe part of his tip, that he is
lying about the monster. They don't stop
to consider that the big fish are more pow
erful, active and cunning, and therefore
better able to get away than the little ones.
Sometimes it happens that the angler il

must confess that this is the exception to
the general rule. once caught a fine eight

but if my statement was not backed up by

you consider the facts, however, there is
nothing very remarkable about it. Yon

his bearing and luckily, whom 80 ardently
