to hear him say:
II cannot see my way to agree to
the bill as it is, but when 1 remember
that in 1879 I served my first term of
imprisonment for proposing almost
exactly that which Il Conservative
Irish secretary proposed today 1 real

triumph is merely 4 forerunner of

ton. Far he it from me to stand In

John Redmond the leader of the
Irish party in parliament made this
careful statement to the Associated
Press:
THE land bill in many respects is
a far-reaching and important measure.
1t proposes 4 loan for the purpose of
enabling the landlords to be bought
out to the extent OF hundred million
pounds. in addition to a bonus not ID
be repaid to amount to at least lively"
million pounds. The bill does not fill
all the requirements of the case. 1t
does not provide as good terms either
for the landlords or tenants as pro-
posed at the recent land conference.
but it marks an enormous advance on
any measure of its kind hitherto pro-
posed by the English government.
Regarding the result of this meas
ure. 1 cannot speak with any GER
tainty. Its details, many of which seem
TO me highly Objectionable, are capa

this measure should provide, as every
one hopes, a settlement of the land
question, not only will a great social
and Industrial problem be put once for
all on sound basis, but it will make 2.

the united demand of all the classes in
Ireland. certainty in the near future.
Until these clauses of the bill arc
actually in my hand, 1 cannot say, of
course, whether they will actually
carry out the project in view. There
fore, I cannot say, for certainty, if
the bill will be accepted by the ma
tional convention which assemblies in
Dublin on April Il. This great assem-
bly, will have the deciding voice in the
matter. If it accepts it, subject to
certain amendments, it is quite posi-

Mr.. Davitt is undoubtedly right. The
land purchase bill is the forerunner OF
home rule, and this wonderful change
in the English policy is all because the
money changers in the temple" have
at last reached the conclusion that
England cannot continue to prosper if
Ireland sinks year by year more deeply
into poverty.

Senator Ayers Coming Visit.

A Washington dispatch of the 18th
instant states that Senator Russell A
Alger of Michigan will make a leisurelr
trip to the west in May, in his private
car, anc that among his guests will be
Senator William P. Frye of Maine. It
Senator Alger intended to visit Arizona
this spring, and the people of the terri
tory will be delighted to learn that he
proposes to bring Senator Frye with
United States senate, Mr.. Frye is the
most distinguished member of that
great body. and he is one of the coun-
try's foremost statesmen. AS an
shared in the prejudice against Ari--
IONA. But, as has been repeatedly
stated. Arizona has no grievance
against the senators who have had no
it is. Senator Frye is statesman of
such breadth that he cannot avoid
being favorably impressed with this
section and its citizenship, and if he
cannot bring himself to favor statehood
he will at least become our friend.
It is exceptionally fortunate that
Senator Frye is coming in company
with Senator Alger. The distinguished
Michigan senator has extensive invest
nents in the territory, and his business
interests have led him to an intimate
acquaintance with territorial affairs.
He has been Arizona's friend for years,
and Senator Frye could not have bet
ter guide through the territory.
1t is indeed welcome news that these
senators are coming, and it is to he
hoped that Senator Alger will be able
to induce other senators to join his
party.

The New r1iIitia Law. .

The new federal law, providing for
seems to have been so generally mis-
understood as to some of its provisions
that the army war college board has
found it advisable to make a report,
ure. The board holds, among other
things, that by January q, 1908, the or
gained militia must have adopted
regular army standards of regimentaI
organiza ton, uniform and armament;
that the war department cannot,
against the will of the states, prescribe
an examination for the appointment o.
promotion of militia officers; that If en-
~ part of a state militia organization
is organized as required by the law,
that part of the organization cannot
made by congress. the idea being to
have the whole organization conform;
that in case any state declines to con-
form to the law by January p. 1905.
the secretary of war may ignore it in
distributing the allotment; that the
president should fix the strength of
militia organiza tons; that organiza-
lions in existence since May 8. 1872. may
retain accustomed privileges which
may be in conflict with the new law
The board calls attention to the pro-
viz of 10 n
that may be called into the service OF
the United States must be composed
of men who have completed their
| eighteenth and have not completed
their forty-fifth year" LAS the law
reads" says the board, lit would seen.
that no man who has completed his
forty-fifth year can, with or against
his will, be held to further service .
This is a change from the original
militia law of 1892, which did not fix
the age limit.
| One important recommendation OF
the board is that the secretary of wa-
prescribe, if it is legal, that recruits in
the organized militia fulfill the physi-
cal recruiting standard adopted for the
regular army, except as to the age
limit. 1t is held also by the board thai
the section providing for the issue
to the militia of rifles and carbines
should be construed to apply to the is
sue of revolvers, standard field artillery
and gatling and other adopted ma
chine or automatic guns.
The board expresses the opinion tina
in the case of rifle competition betwee,
state militia organizations, necessitat
ing encampments and field service tn
pay transportation and service canno
be furnished by the United States. Con
corning d statement from the adjutant
general that several of the state
would like to have their annual en-
campments of part of their militia a
army posts, thus, under section Is, OBJ
tanning their pay, transportation an
subsistence free" the board holds tina
the law does not bear any such inter
| probation.

The Irish Land Bill.

In these days, financial questions rule
the world. This fact was never better
demonstrated than when the British
government introduced in parliament
its land purchase bill for the benefit OF
Ireland, a few days ago. The greatest
surprise in modern political history has
been furnished by this action of the
Balfour government, and it is based on
purely economic reasons. The British
government proposes to advance half
billion dollars to the peasants of Ire
land to enable them to purchase their
holdings from the landlords, and it has
been led to take this momentous step
by the conviction that the scheme is a
for home rule has had for it's chief
foundation the wrongs of the Irish ten
ants, and q programme which Glad
stone hardly dared to advocate is put
forth by an "anti-Irish" unionist gov
eminent as the simple evolution of =,
fiscal policy. That which centuries of
agitation in Ireland, followed by the
championship OF a Parnell could not
accomplish has been brought about by
that most potent of all arguments-an
appeal to self interest. The Irish sec
rotary, Mr.. Wyndham, in accounting
for this radical departure from the his
toric conservative policy, explained in
a matter of fact way that the landlords
of Ireland We're being ruined financially
and that the tenants We're being ruined
morally, and that the taxpayers of En-
gland were paying 100000 per annum
to the land commission and $1,000, 900
to the Irish police, which largely was
needed to deal with illegalites arising
from the land question.
us it remarka BILE under those crcum-
stances" asked the Irish secretary, IF
the landlords and tenants come to-
gether?"
Mr.. Wyndham, according to the dis
patches from London, did not think
any reconcile or yelled reasons need be
looked for Past experiences showed
such aid. From the taxpayers view
point, it was stated that aid for the
land purchase was a safe commercial
transaction. By the aid of the state,
$4,000 tenants had already bought Their
holdings and the state had not lost a
halfpenny. Public opinion supported
repayment, and this was high mora
security, besides which was the secur-
ity of the land ITSELF
What the attitude of the Irish ma
tionalists will be toward the bill
scarcely admits of doubt. They wi!
doubtless insist upon. and may secure
amendments before the measure i
passed, but they will certainly Civ
their assent, finally Michael Davitt
