While looking into the project Of IN,

tain strong comments to Col Robert Gria,
Monroe, the Commissioner Of Water SIM

tives to take prompt possession Of land in
the Croton Valley obtained by the citv
under condemnation proceedings
The case which stirred up Mr.. Riysa
was that Of Nelson Bros. who hsye

on ii at 8 per cent. from the time ,he till
passed to the city. Meantime the Nelson's
have continued to occupy their farm rent
free, and no one has compelled them IN
quit. The Merchants Association savs
that this was due to the influence of one nr
more Of the Aqueduct Commissioners.
The Merchants Association asked the

The association got the letter somehow,
for yesterday 1t sent copies of it TO tha
newspapers. In it Mr.. Rives, after calinS
attention to the loss to the city in the NelsoT

The Land Purchase Bill and Irish
Discomfort.

Discomfort.
During the progress of the Irish Land
Purchase bill through the committee
stage Mr.. WYNDHAM, the Chief Secre-
tary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland,
who has charge of the measure, has ac-
cepted several amendments urged by
Mr.. JOHN +. REDMOND and by Mr.. WILL
LIAM O'BRIEN, and has promised to con-
slider Others at n later date. 1t now
seems probable that the bill, when it
body many, if not most, of the improve
ments advocated in the Dublin Conven-
ton of the United Irish League. As
summing that the bill thus modified will
become law, can we expect to witness
thereafter a cessation of agrarian dis
content in Ireland?
The bill has been condemned in adj
vance by those extremists among Irish
men and Trish-Americans who call for
the employment OF physical force
against the British Government, and who
insist that nothing but the absolute in
dependence of Ireland will solve the
Irish problem. They have found it easy
to point out many shortcomings in the
measure which, being essentially COM
promise between landlords and tenants,
would necessarily fail to give entire
satisfaction to either party. They as
sert that the amendments proposed at
the Dublin convention we're hastily
framed, and that some of the gravest
deficiencies in the bill have been over
looked. They object, for instance, to
the mineral and shooting" clauses;
to the clause giving the Land Commits
sion powe to hold s25 100000 value in
land in excess of that which tenants have
agreed to purchase, and to the clause CIV
ing back to the landlords one-third Of
the land on credit, except that, in con-
gested districts the third must not ex-
coed $4,000 in value. They complain,
also, of the clauses which limit the right
Of mortgaging, selling or transferring
farms in the open market though, OBJ
viously, such precautions were needed
to avert the evolution of a new Irish
landlord class
The most severe Reproduction. however,

mental defect of the bill, namely, the dis
qualification of two-thirds of the people
OF Ireland from becoming purchasers

purchasing right to tenants now in pos

Advice to Mr. Iittauer From His Republican
Constituents
From the Jonns,o,rn Daily Republican.

From the JOhnSioirn Daily Republican.
Those who know him best are aware that he
cares little for money and that II is the most I'm
likely thing In the world that he would ever over
step the bounds OF proprlcty In the chase OF the
nlmble dollar. He Is the very essence Of unselnsh
ness and II he could in any way manage to turn a
Government cont ract in the way OF some one OF his
less successful comrades he Is the man who would
have done II. In his Harvard days our distin-
guiShed Representative learned little Latin.
and two words Of that sonorous tongue have be- .
come firmly liked In his memory. They are the
words non Sibi. and they mean that never. never,
never no, never. would he do anything for him :
self for his own advantage, as distinguished from
the common veal. lie is the very essence OF al
truism. He bubbles over with philanthropy. He
Is not satisfied with loving his neighbour as himself.
Ne loves his peighbor to the total exclusion OF him
self He Is greatly to be pitied for the trouble
which has arisen over his diSnterested kindness
for his dear friend Lyon.
You say that the LttauerS have apparently per-
secuted Lyon. IL Is only an apparent persecution.
There Is some good reason, more than creditable
10 good and generous heart, which the public
does not yet know. The motto, Not for self Is
still the guiding star OF his existence The people
at large think that he has been doing queer things;
his friends know that this cannot be so.
To establish once more firm footing tho
reputation which has temporarily gone under
eclipse his friends urge him TO demand a thorough
Investigation OF his alleged shortcomings That
will settle matters once for all With his accus
toned unSclhshness he hates TO give the Govern p
ment so much trouble. He thinks that an attempt
to whten his reputation would be as Superfuous
as TO paint the lily. But hls friends are nrm.

10 the Hon. THEODORE ROOSEVELT SIG
NET of Mckeesport, Pa, who began his
first week last week. Usually it is a
perilous honor TO he named after the
great. The appellation of young Mr.
SIGNET was no hollow compliment, but
an inevitable tribute. He is the twen-
tieth child of his parents, the newest ar
row in copious culver. 1t was neces-
sary that he should be dedicated to the
relentless enemy of race suicide.

NET is worthy of his patron, He is
healthy and strenuous. His voice is
raised earnestly, early often, long.
The least that THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Interesting and unusual rs an evening service
was the one held al the Bethany Presbyterian

Esq. OF the New York bar delivered his lecture on
The Trial OF Jesus from Lawyers Standpoint"
This lecture while revrrent and drvout In It's char

nature Of that trial. Mr.. Chandler tells in brief
and pointed fashion Just what was the Jewish law
about such trials. and SHOWS that almost every

The Sylph's Fourth Of july Speed
Trial.

As Commander-in-Ch Of the Navy
Of the United States, President RoosE-
WELT unquestionably has the consttu-
tional power to subject any war vessel in
the Government S service to a speed
trial at such time and under such con-
ditions as seem proper to him.
In SO doing he may, if he chooses,
dispense with all the formalities Of rou-
tine common to such official tests.
The speed trial of Saturday was un-
dertaken directly after the President S
declaration at Huntington that he wanted
a navy that will be able to maintain
the dignity Of q great nation
The Sylph did her best to maintain
the dignity of a great nation. If the

TECHNIQUE OF THE SCYTHE.
Modern Implement Suggestive of
 Long EvoIutionerY Princess.

\ very slight examination of a modern scythe, says the Cornhill. is enough to convince one that much history is crystallized in it's rare beauty. The original handle is no longer handle: the handles now are two turned pegs, set in iron ring sockets, which are them selves suggestive of long evolu- tTon. Moreover, the sinuous shaft IS not now what 1t was 70 years ago-the nearest pole that the eopse cutter could find for he pur- pese-a sort of makeshift, in fact; II is now d shaft rounded and smoothed in q machine lathe. and bent by steam and pressure in a factory to the ideal curve desired by mowers for ages. Perfect scythe handles might be had now 6y the thousand, for the type is found. and manufacturers could reproduce it forever: but at this stage even the easier technique that would suffice for working the perfected tool seems likely to be quite superseded by machinery. Thus the scythe is less the minis fer to q modern technique than the embodied evidence of q tech niue soon 10 be forgotten. Before it is too late specimens should be collected for preservation in mu- seums, where future generations, technically educated, might go on bank holidays and wonder why men ever devised such awkward. looking tools.
