ing from agricultural laad. However,
although he declared that he would
vote against the bill himself. he did
not ask anyone to follow his example.
His attitude, though hostile, was
quite fair. The case for the bill was,
in fact, unanswerable, for, as T. w.
Russell put it, under the existing law
the landlord would do nothing in the
way of improvements, and the tenant
was afraid to do anything. The Irish
Unionists also supported it, and in the
division six of them voted for the
second reading. The majority for the
second reading was 81, while the mo-
ton to refer 1t to the grand COM
mittee was carried by 6S. The Liber-
ais voted in body for the measure,
and also some half-dozen English
Unionist members.
The bill should undoubtedly pass
into law, unless the session is termi-
mated Unexpectedly by dissolution.
The Irish party will now press to have
it brought before the grand commit
tee at the earliest possible date, and
it should pass through that stage in
one or two sittings.

result of kidney trouble, aged 73 years.
Deceased was a native of Enistymon,
County Glare, Ireland, where he was
born in 80. When only IS years old
he went to Scotland where he worked
four years in an iron foundry. In "a
he came to the United States and
worked in the eastern states on steam
boats and railroads. Five years later
he was married at Lowell, Mass, to
Miss Elizabeth McCarron, who sur.
wives him, and of that union six boys
and three girls were born to them. In

Irish Party Scores,

The Irish Party scored note
worthy achievement when the Town
Tenants Qreland) Bill, which was in
charge of Patrick O'Brien, obtained
it's second reading and was referred
to a grand committee, says the Irish
World. This was the first bill put
down by the party this session, which
makes the result all the more satis-
factory. The second reading was
moved in an eminently practical and
businesslike speech by Mr.. O'Brien,
and Mr.. Field seconded it, as he has
been closely identified with this sub
ject for several years.
The provisions of the bill proposes
to provide that where a tenant of a
town holding desires to make improve
ments, he in the first place ask the
landlords assent. If the landlord
gives his assent the improvements are
registered, and in the event of the
tenant giving up the holding he will
receive compensation for the improve
ments, less wear and tear. Should the
landlord refuse to assent to the regis.
tration of the improvements the ten
ant could appeal to, the county court,
where the Judge, If he Is satisfied
that they would be suitable to the
holding, could order them to be
registered.
The opposition came from Sir John
Colomb, who was backed up by the
chief secretary, who objected to In

Thousands Leaving Home.

Some time ago Mr.. John Dillon, M.
p, stated that he had always declined

cieties as he believed that they were
useless for effecting the object at
which they aimed The latest return
from Queenstown certainly seems to
bear out his view in the matter.
Six thousand and seventy-four emil
grants left that port for America dur
ing the quarter which ended on the
31st of March, as against two thou.
sand two hundred and forty-three for
the corresponding quarter last year.
The increase is simply appalling in
view of the already depleted popula-
tion of the country, and shows clearly
that the efforts which are being made
to stop the tide of emigration are all
in vain. It seems quite useless to tell
the people of the condition of the
labor market in America, or to advise
them to remain at home and that they
are sure to do better. The thousands
who sailed from Queenstown already
this year knew perfectly we'll what
they were leaving. It may be safely
asserted that not one dozen of them
left remunerative employment, and
the great majority of them were un.
able to obtain work at all. They were
principally from the west and south.
west of the country, where there are
no industries whatever. Not the CLAM.

ployment at home, causes emigration.
