IRISH LAND BILL.
Morley's New ATcasure Introduced in the
House of Commons.

Morley's New iIea>ure Introduced in the
House of Commons.
LONDON, March 6.--In the house of
commons John Morley introduced the
new Irish land bill. In explaining the
bill Mr.. Morley said that at the founda-
ton of the government proposals was
a broad principle of social policy to-
wards Ireland A general rule Of pro-
tecting the tenant in ownership if i'm
provements We're made was absolutely
indispensable in Ireland, owing to the
decision Of the Irish courts, which upset
the intentions of parliament. The gov
ernment now proposed that all the i'm
provements on building should be pre-
sumed to have deem done by the tenant
unless the contrary was proved. The
bill directed the courts to give ample
compensation and security to tenant
for Improvements, and it also proposed
to amend the act of 1870 so as to make
it perform its functions i'll the way it
was designed it should. Consequently,
it would be modified in order to
Prevent the Undoubtcd Intention
of parliament being frustrated. The
compensation to be paid to tenant
would be i'll money Or in money s
worth. 1t was also proposed by this
measure that holdings should be sub
ject to statutory conditions until the
new rents were fixed and the statutory
conditions thereby revised 1t also
makes term of holdings 10 instead of 10
years, at the end of which time rents
are to be revised.
In regard to the landlords IS right of
pre-emption the tenant was to be al
lowed the free sale of his interest, but
before selling he had to give cash to the
landlord, who might purchase the ten
ancy for the sum agreed upon. When
| the court
| Fixed Fair Rent
the landlord might demand that the
court specify the value of the holding
i'll case the tenant wishes to sell and the
landlord wishes to buy.
Where the tenant was i'll occupancy
as careta]1er for five years and had
discharged all the obligations inciden
tai to the holding, he should, at the enc
of that period, be deemed to be the
present tenant again with all the rights
of occupancy.
1t was further proposed by the bill
that all arrears of rent might be recov
cred within the next two years. Aftel
then the landlord would be able to re
cover two years arrears only.

THE LICK ESTATE.

Trustees Get Million and Half More
Than Anticipated for 1t.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-Within a
few weeks the board of trustees who
have managed the Lick estate since the
decease Of the pioneer will ask the su-
perior court to approve their accounts
and discharge them from further duty.
The board handled millions of dollars
left by the pioneer, and now that all be-
quests have been settled they wish to be
absolved from further duty.
James Lick left almost all his money
for educational purposes, the Lick
observatory and the Lick school of me-
chanical arts being the two most i'm
portmt bequests.
When james Lick s son was compro-
missed with for $685.. 900 in 1878, the
trustees estimated that the estate would
fail to carry out all the legacies by
$500,000 Accumulated interest and in
creased values during so many years has
given increased money for every be.
quest, and left a surplus of over ST.

An Alternative Writ.
Marriage Certificate Defective.

NEW YORK, March 6.-The board of
health refused to record the marriage
certificate of Anna Gould and Count
Castellane on the ground that it was
defective in vital point. All informa-
tion rs to the matter is refused by the
board of health, the president saying
that as it is in the discretion of the
board, they will not make the record
public without the permission Of the
family. 1t is said the cause for the
boards action is that no date was given
in the certificate.

Yankton Press: Leading Democrats
in congress call attention to a movement
said to be under way through the ef-
forts of The opponents Of free silver in
that party to secure the election OF gold
men as delegates to party conventions,
and particularly to the next national
convention to secure the nomination OF
single gold standard man to the pres
idency. Such movement would have
the active participation OF the admins
tration and office holders the country
over would generally labor in its inter-
ests. This would render it a formida-

Argus Leader: There is great fight
on in Cleveland against teaching dane
ing in the public schools. Dancing has
been made part of the physical eXer-
cises of the schools, and the church
people with the aid OF two leading ply
sicians are whetting their scalping
knives. The church people. rightly in
our opinion, contend that inasmuch as
they are opposed on principle TO dane
ing they should not be compelled to ac-
cept the alternative of taking their
children out of school or having them
taught something to which they seri.
ously object. The doctors object to i,
on the ground OF health, claiming that
under the circumstances OF its teaching
the result is harmful to the health o.
the pupils. 1t is clear that there is
plenty Of time for young people to learr
to dance after they leave school, and il
is also clear that to teach it TO then
before is likely to divert them from
study, even if it results in no mora
harm. The church people, in oul
Judgment, are right, and we are glad tt
know that they will probably win.

II
Increase in the Service.
WASHINGTON, March "a sketch
showing the great development of the
telegraph in Great Britain since it
passed under government control in
1870, as a result of Gladstone's efforts,
is given in a report to the state depart
ment from United States Consular Clerk
Martin, at Southampton. He shows
that all of the separate companies lines
We're taken by the government in 1870
for Ell 900, 900 and that in the year sue
miles of Wire to connect the various
systems.
An illustration of Results.
AS an illustration OF the results Of
their policy, the reports show that while
in 1870, the total number of kilograms
handled weekly by all offices was esti
mated at from 12S,000 to 2l5,0OO, in
1898 the total exceeded 100000 and
the number sent annually ex-
ceeded 7o,ooo,ooo. In 1850 the English
press service was 22,OOO,0oo words. Now
it amounts to $1,000, 900, 36 times more
than formerly. The present press rate
is absurdly small as compared with the
tariff prior to 1870, and in place Of send
ing rs words per minute one way, the
wires now carry 500 words a minute,
and six messages are sent stimuli,
taneously on one wire. This service is
performed with perfect punctuality, the
average time of transmission Of mes,
sage being about or 9 minutes, as
against or hours in 1862 The rate
is 10 cents for l2 words, paid in stamps.
1t is not possible to tell the amount
turned into the treasury by the tele

with the postal service, but the English

THE F.FTy-r4lRD CONGRESS.

Sioux City Journal: Probably the
least said about the Fifty-third con-
gress just now, the better. No amount
of characterization could deepen the
impression on the public mind. Its rec
ord is that of conspicuous, unrelieved
and unparalleled failure. 1t came into
existence under distinct positive pledg-
es, and under implied pledges not lees
distinct. The accusations brought SO
vehemently and persistently against re-
publican legislation, the extravaganza
OF the Millionaire congress, the czarism
of its procedure and many similar aile-
cations, necessarily imposed on the
Fifty third congress the obligation to
make different record-an obligation,
indeed, as strong as that which rcqair-
ed it to fulfill the pledges of the party
with respect to the tariff and to other
reforms written in its platform. The
Fifty third congress was overwhel-
mingly democratic, the house by ma
jority of over 80. and the senate, until
just before adjournment, by fair work
ing majority. Not q single pledge has
been redeemed by the congress except
the repeal Of all the statutes relating to
federal elections. All tt., other pledges
expressed and implied, have been VIC
lated. The congress has been impo-
tent even for ordinary public purposes.
1t has failed even in the mere transac-
d
tions OF routine legislation. 1t has fol-
lowed no consistent liue of policy. 1t
has not only been at outs with the pres
ident. not only in antagonism to the
senate, but it has been inharmonious
with itself. The Democratic party has
split into mutually neutralizing factions
SO that in more than one matter of i'm
portance TO the country action had to
depend on the Republican party. But
it is superfluous to repeat these points OF
fresh history. The country knows
them by heart and by bitter eX Xperience.
The business community especially has
cause to regret the last congress, for it
has always failed to do anything at the
opporuune moment to relieve the indus
trial depression, and it has done wrong
things to precipitate ;rd agravate. it,
The business and commercial commu'
nifty has looked anxsous]y forward tc
final adjournment. and it will be hailed
everywhere as one of the most import
ant aids to revival of confidence. There
can hardly be said to bea partisan differ
ence OF Judgment with regard to this
late congress. Iu no quarter has il
been more severely arraigned than by
the picked and official representative:
of the Democratic party at large. Il
was congress which in one-half of it,
term was able absolutely to forfeit pub
lie confidence and to revolutionize par
ty control of the succeeding congress
The country thanks the gods that th'
Fifty third congress is Il thing of thu
past and will devoutly pray to be deliv
cred from the calamity of another con
gress like it.

Was Dishonorably Discharged.
1t is now one of the rules of the home
that any of it's wards on beneficiaries re-
ceiving pensions from the government
shall turn over to the authorities of the
home all i'll excess Of 81 per month of
the money thus received by them. The
plaintiff, Venables. is Il former member

rule, and i'll consequence was dishonor-
ably discharged, and his suit is brought
to compel the authorities to reinstate
him.
An Alternative Writ.
Judge Russell issued an alternative

fendants to appear and show cause why

plaintiff state that the supreme court OF
that state held that the pensioner had
no right to assign Or otherwise dispose
Of his pension, and that the home had
no right to take it away from him.

ASrnrian Glasses Want to See Tariff War

WASHINGTON, March 6-The claims
Of the agrarian classes in Germany are
commented on in u report of Special
Agent Mates of the agricultural de-
partment. The agent contends that
they would hail with joy tariff war
the United States. The agrarians, says
the report, well understand that our ag-
ricultural products are becoming more
popular every year in Germany in
spite of the many indirect and false at
tacks made upon them The erection
OF state grain elevators and mills is an
other agrarian scheme, intended to bet
ter their own condition, no matter at
whose expense. This measure is op-
posed by gram dealers, millers and the
bread purchasing classes, and the of.
fetal agent predicts it will not pass.
False Reports Welcomed.

coined that creates Il false impression
