In introducing the bill the chief sec
rotary said that the country he:
lieved that the land question was at the
root Of the agitation for home rule,
The bill provides for facil itating the pur-
chase Of holdings, and prevents the les
see from having rent levied on his i'm
provements. 1t embodies some OF the
proposals Of the bill Of 1895 and modihes
others It proposed that the tenant
should be deemed, on payment OF two
years arrears, to be in just possession Of
his holdings, leaving the landlord to re.
cover the remainder of the arrears in the
ordinary way. Mr.. Balfour said that the
government had decided not to alter the
statutory term of Is years fixing fair
rent. @
Purchase would not be compulsory az
such a scheme would require possibly
f2O0 100000. The terms for repayment
would be extended from 49 to- over 70
years., and relief would be given to the
tenants towards the end Of their tenancy
when they were more likely to ned it.
the payments decreasing with the length
of their tenancy to every purchaser by
less than 20 years purchase. While at
the start there would be 20 per cent less
rent than they were now paying, they
would be relieved of 10 per cent during
the first 80 years. The bill, he said, ex-
tended the powers of the congested dis
trict's board, enabling it to borrow to the
extent of f1,500,000.
With regard to evicted tenants, Mr..
Balfour said the government had already
declared that they, could not consent to
the use of public money, believing that
aid should come from private sources;
but they were prepared to re-enact the
clause of the land act for year, and SO
act as mediators. Mr.. Balfour conceded
b. saying that the bill was an honest
endeavor to facilitate the substitution OF
peasant ownership for dual ownership.
After hearing Mr.. Balfour's speech, the
opinion expressed in the lobby was that
a bill of such complexity as to have oc-
cupied three hours in it's explanation had
little prospect of passing at this session
of parliament, in view of the prolonged
debates on the educational bill.

Two Renderings of Poem Which Dis

One of the cleverest political poems
ever written is that by Arthur Conner
the friend of Lord Edward Fitzgerald
and, like him, prominent figure in the
Irish rebellion of 1898. He was arrested
at Margate when taking a secret message
to France; and it was while going from
Kilmainham Jail to Fort George, Scot
land, that he composed the following
poem: :.
The pomp of courts and pride of kings
prize above all earthly things;
I love my country but the king,
Above all men his praise sing;
The royal banners are displayed,
And may success the standard aid.

The above sounds very loyal, but if the
lines Of the first and second verses are
read alternatively quite a different rem
dering is discovered:
The pomp of courts and pride of kings

daughter of the Marquis de Condorcet.
