THE IRISH LAND BILL
Introduced and Explained TO House Of Com
mons by John Morley.

-
Commons, today, John Morley, chief
secretary for Ireland, introduced the Irish
Land bill In remarks introducing the
measure Mr.. Morley said he believed the
purchase of holdings was the ultimate
solution of the land question in Ireland,
but universal compulsory purchase would
take more than one generation to effect.
In the meantime modus vivendi must be
found.
Mr.. Morley, continuing, said the founda-
ton of the bill was the principle OF protect
ing the tenant in his ownership OF I'M
proyements. Henceforth only the tenant
would receive the benefit of improvements
that he made upon his holdings, as the
landlord would not be allowed to charge
rent for improvements. Fair rents will
be fixed every 10 years instead of every
10 wears. as at present. Within the next
two years all the arrears due, he said,
might be recovered, and after the expira-
ton of that time the landlord could not
recover more than two years rents.
The question in regard to evicted ten
ants, Mr.. Morley said, would be met by
re-enacting the 18th section OF the act OF
1891, giving voluntary reinstatement
not compulsory--in cases where the pre-
sent occupants are unwilling to termi-
nate their tenancies.
He concluded by saying that the govern
ment had done its best to meet the practi-
cal difficulties of one of the knottiest sub
iects in the whole field of modern politics.
He appealed to all reasonable men to fairly
and carefully consider the matter, and not
lightly throw away an opportunity OF
placing upon the statute books just
and practical scheme.
The Irish land bill passed its first read
ing without division. The speakers OF
all parties approved its general principle,
evidently recognizing it as an able, honest
endeavor to settle vexcd question.

A WIFE'S OBEDIENCE,
About the Word Obey in the Marriage
Service.


Service.
Much is said, both wise and other
wise, in reference to the obedience
which a wife vows to yield to her hus-
band. Brides boast that they have
evaded the word "obey" and substi-
tuted ''go gay" ''say nay" or some
other of similar sound. After her we'd
ding lady of this kind remarked to
Rev. F. D. Maurice, who had performed
the ceremony, Now, Mr.. Maurice,
call you to witness that l entertain no
intention of obeying." Maurice an
swered with his sad, sweet smile: "Ah,
madam, you little know the blessed
ness of obedience.
OF course, no one worthy of atten-
ton believes that it is wife's duty to
obey when her husband wishes her to
act contrary to the dictates Of con-
science. AS little is she expected to
conform to a standard of obedience and
service such as was laid down in con-
versation overheard between two chill
dren who were playing on the sands
together: Small boy to little girl-Do
you wish to become my wife? Little
girl (after refection)-Yes. Small boy
Then pull off my boots.
On a great many points, however,
concerning the pecuniary or other in
terests of the family the husband will
usually be the wiser, and may most
properly be treated as the senior part
ner in the firm. A woman may like to
have her own way, but she has little
ha h 1,o, yh1 rr1r n
to her in everything. The ideal wife
claims the liberty of being herself and
managing the house, but she never re-
fuses loyalty to an affection which
supports and protects her. Despotism
and obedience are indeed terms that
| have no meaning in a matrimonial alli-
ance of the right sort.
The word obey" had not as great
terrors for the queen when she was go
| ing to be married as it has for the new
woman" among her subjects. When
arranging about the service the arch
bishop of Canterbury asked her males
ty whether it would be desirable to
omit the word ''obey," and she an
swered: II wish to be married as a
woman, not as a queen" Some of her
majestys subjects are not as subject
as she was in this respect. They do
/ desire to exercise sovereignty over
their husbands and not prefer to reign
through service. At negro wedding,
when the clergyman read the words,
love, honor and obey" the bride
groom interrupted him and said: "Read
that again, sab, read it once mo-, SOS
de lady kin katch de full solemnity Of
de meaning. Use been married befo'.'
Another man who had been married
before three or four times tit does moi
matter which, except to himself), said
MY first wife cured me of romance
my second taught me humility, and my
third made me a philosopher" None
of these wives could have caught the
full solemnity of the vows they tool
when they were being married.
The vexed question of conjugal ODE
dience was settled by Spurgeon in ;
characteristic way. In an address al
the marriage of the daughter of !;
friend, he spoke thus to the bride abou
her future lord: Let him be the head
and do you be the neck, and turn hin
which way you please. "-Londol
