THE 1a1sH LAND QUESTION.
Narrowing Account by Recent Member of the British Ministry.


 London News.
 T. W. Russell in recent address. said he thought the land question was rather a large subject for debate. In its histor- ical aspect it was a record of conquest and confiscation. In it's modern aspect, as 1t presented itself today. it meant an effort by Parliament to undo much of the mischief that was done in thes past. He did not propose to treat on the his- torical point at ali. They were more con- cerned with the living present than the dead past, though he could not but say the dead past had q good deal to do with the living present. The position today of the Irish land question was this: It was different from the land question of Eng land: Scotland or Wales: When, after the land act of 1870, Parliament ceased bones began to stir, the agitation was aided by the Fenian rebellion. Mir. Glad stone admitted that what attracted att tention was the Fenian rising, the at- tempt to blow up Clerkenwell jail, and the rescue at Manchester. The result was the land act of 1870. That act recogs nized the tenants property in the land.
