THE IRISH LAND BILL

1t may well be hoped that the Irish land bill in
troduced in the British House of Commons on
Wednesday by Mr.. Wyndham, Chief Secretary for
Ireland representing the Government will prove
satisfactory to all parties interested and go effect
at early date as Is possible.
The measure seems to have been prepared under
the inspiration Of sincere desire the part of the
British Government: to reach permanent and happy
settlement Of the Irish land-ownership problem Its
scheme for enabling tenants to acquire title to the
ground which they could heretofore hold only under
rental appears its face to be practical The
proposed to bring about this consumnation the Gov
eminent to noat vast stockissue Of perhaps total
Of $4,000 0O0 and to declare a free grant of $780,
100000 in addition convey the impression of consti
tuting distinctly generous offer which testifes to
English earnestness In the matter
The fact that John Redmond, the Irish leader in
Parliament recognizes in the bill proof of English
sincerity: that Mr.. Healy, Irish Nationalist is an
ardent supporter Of the measure, and that Michael
Davitt the father Of the Land League, so pro-
foundy interested to appear in the House for the
first time since he ceased to be member in order to
hear the Chief Secretary for Ireland announce the
Governments plans this Issue, gives promise OF
Irish support to an extent that should insure the bills

THE MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY.

Public interests have never been better protected
or more earnestly promoted than they have been by
the present City Council in the past two years. The
people have witnessed return in legislation to car
dina principles Of government. The welfare of the
citizens and the authority of the municipality have
been placed above private enterprise and private de-
mands
The Democratic majority in the Council has adj
hered firmly to the policy of advancement defined and
pursued by Mayor Wells, with the result that mu-
nicpal affairs have been managed in businesslike
manner and the city has progressed in every way.
Without this harmony the process of reform would
have met with obstruction and political contention
would have taken the place of progression.
Taxpayers who desire that the reconstruction shall
proceed according to the Mayors progressive policy
which is clearly marked out, can help themselves
and the city by eecting the Democratic Council
ticket next month and providing Mayor Wells with
the influence that is necessary for the attainment Of
plans that will be beneficial alike to the municipality
and the general public.
No matter how good the Individual nominees on
the Republican Council ticket may be- these men
could not, If elected, be expected to act in sympathy
with the Mayor. Behind them. squirting them to OPP
position would be the Republican machine, eager to
bring discredt the movement which drove it out of
office The voters afford to restrain advance
men by injecting political strife into municipal bust
ness. They should elect the Democratic council
ticket and urge progression that has been vigor-
ously started.
The Democratic and Republican tickets for the
House of Delegates not satisfactory separately.
Each ticket contains the names of capable men,
but each ticket also contains the names of in
competent men. fair ticket could and should be
selected from the Democratic, Republican and In
dependent tickets.
All in all there is no apparent difference rs to
merit between the Democratic and Republican House
tickets. To extent both tickets contrived by
the professional ward politicians. although nomna-
tons made in several wards free of political faint
