FRESH BOUT IN THE
IRISH LAND BILL
DEBATE
Secretary Wyndham Says No
to a Nationalist Demand and
Amendment by Redmond to
Abolish the Minimum Price
Is Voted Down.

LONDON, June 16.-On the resump-
ton of the debate on the Irish land
bill, in the house of commons today.
the amendment of John Redmond, the
Irish leader, which seeks to abolish
the minimum price at which the land
lord may sell, even though the land
lord and tenant might agree on low
er price, was discussed.
Irish Secretary Wyndham declared
that he considered that limits on bar
gains were essential precautions. He
would be unable to accept Mr.. Red
monds proposal to raise the minimum
reduction to 10 per cent in case Of sec
ond-term rents, and to 25 per cent in
the case of firSt-term rents.
MI. redmond expressed regret at
Mr.. Wyndham's decision, and said that
II the amendment was not accepted by
the government he was afraid they had
arrived at the parting Of the ways.
The Nationalist must stand by the
amendment, and time must be taken
Tor the consideration of this point by
the government Otherwise ninety-five
or the Irish members would be found
IN the lobby against the government
Irish opinion was united and if no con-
cession was made, it would be impos-
slbie for the Irish members to repre-
sent the bill as acceptable to the Irish
people.
Timothy Healy, Nationalist, suggest
ed that the government might get out
of the ENHANCEMENT by bestowing
larger discretionary powers on the es-
tate commissioners.
John Morley, Liberal, who said he
feared the bill was in great peril COM
planned of Mr.. Wyndham's attitude.
He said the English and Scotch mem
bers would support the bill only so
long as it was acceptable to all the
Irish representatives.
Mr.. Wyndham said he realized the
gravity Of the situation, but the mini
mum reductions must remain 10 and
~ per cent, respectively He was
ready to consider an amendment af-
fecting non-judicial tenancies.
Mr.. Redmond retorted that this was |
no concession whatever. as the bulk of |
the tenants were judicial tenants.
Mr.. Redmond's amendment was re. |
jected by vote of PIT to ITO.

THE POTATO PROFIT HABIT.
Is There Any Good Reason Why the
Price Should Go Hioher?


The price Of old potatoes is again
advancing, and the cause of the adj
vance can be explained only on the
theory that it is entirely due to force
of habit.
There was a scarcity of potatoes In
1901. The result naturally was an ad-
vance in the price of them. There was
a somewhat better supply in 1902, but
the dealers could not forget and break
away from the profits of 1901, so the
high prices We're continued. There
is no appreciable scarcity in the supply
of old potatoes this year, but, neverthe-
less, prices have already advanced 20
cents bushel, and they are almost
certain to go higher.
One of the excuses offered for an
alleged shortage in the supply here is
that the floods in. the Southwest have
delayed shipments, but this excuse is
offered in the face of the fact that a
train of seventy cars of potatoes has
just arrived over one Of the Northwest
ern lines. Two years ago the excuse
was drought. One year ago the excuse
was the after effects of the drought.
Now it is the flood. Next year 1t will
be the after effects of the flood.
The price of potatoes would not be
such an important matter if II did not
concern everybody, but everybody eats
potatoes. When bread goes up a cent
or two loaf the public cries with a
loud voice for the reason why, and if
the reason why is not satisfactory the
price goes down, because the public
will not permit any trif1ing With the
staff of life.
When the price of meat goes up there
is universal outcry against the pack
ers' trust, and, although it may be re-
sisted for time, the price is forced
down. When the'price of potatoes goes
up the public seems to be willing to
accept any kind Of an excuse, although
potatoes are almost as essential to the
daily diet Of the average household as
bread or meats
There is no good reason why pota-
toes should be high this year. They
are high, and they are going higher.
only because the dealers are led by
force of habit to demand profits to
titled.
In these times, when we are all
longing and striving for Industrial
peace, everything that tends unnec-
essarily to increase the cost Of living
should be discouraged. and the exorbi9
tant potato-p profit habit is one of the
things that needs to me summarily
checked.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
