liarities OF the Irish people. The poor crofters
OF Scotland have been driven to desperation by
the adoption OF the same methods. The trou-
BILE lie due not to the usual eyictions to make
room Tor the extension OF deer forests. but to
tho earth hunger and destitution which is as
marked In the Highlands and islands OF Scot
land as In the south and west OF Ireland. The
crofters In the Dinawall district cannot pay
their rents, and will not leave their little hold
inGs. The Queens writ is being dened. and
the minions OF the law are maltreated In the
most approved Irish fashion. seutries with
foghorns are posted In strategical positions to
warn the country side Of the approach
OF the police and sheriffs. and dis
guised men and women pelt the Of
hcers with Nth and stones. and tear
up the roadways. So far the crotters have
had the best OF the fight, and 1t may be neces-
sary TO employ troops to coerce them. The
Scottish Liberal members Of Parliament will
denounce tho use Of military force. on the
ground that tho desperate tactics Of the croft
ers are merely tho outward symptoms OF a
deep-ssated social disease which requires
legislative treatment similar to that accord ed
to the Irish tenants In analogous circum-
stances.

Government Tho proposal 10 to empower tho
local authorities to buy or lease waste or unoc-
cupied land. and to turn the surplus labor upon
It. By this means 1t is believed that tens OF
thousands OF acres now useless could be mad o
fertile BY spade labor. and. at the same time.

sistent migration Of unemployed agri-
cultural laborers into tho towns. an evil

probably to employ the idle without bringing
them into subsidized competition with actual
