PREMATTRE.

Mfr. BRYAN and Mr.. Kern, in speeches &C
cepting the honors thrust on them by the Dem
ocratic National Convention, declared that the
real issue in the Presidential campaign was
whether the people should be permitted to
make their will effective. shall the people
ruler dolorously asked the chief champion or
the suspended theory Of government by
majority. and the query was duly echoed py
4be synnathetic vIce-champion. So far as we
can Judge from the drift of the Bryan-kern
argument, the two candidates seem to think
that in the past contests in which they have
anpesled for votes something went wrong with
the machinery Of registration and that popular
rule will not be restored in its integrity until
thew are safely installed In office.
From the point of view Of the Democratic
candidates it will be utterly impossible TO an
swer the question, DO the people ruler" be-
fore the votes are counted on November 3. Yet
here is 1.-The Charleston News and COURIER
one of the most active workers in the cause
of Bryanism so carried away by trihlng local
incident in South Carolina as to proclaim that
the people do rule, although Bryan and Kern
are still only uneasy aspirants for office. Says
our Charleston contemporary:
shall the people ruler" In South Carolina
the question was answered yesterday with
positiveness that leaves no doubt that the
people do rule.
If seems that Mr. E. d. Smith was victorious
last Tuesday over Mr.. John Gary Evans, the
two being candidates for the nomination for
United States Senator in a Democratic pri-
mary But why much jubilat1on over
merely minor demonstration like that, and why
the assumption that nothing further is needed
TO re-establish the fact that the people rule?
South Carolina has nominated Senators before
this in a primary, and Notwithstanding that
fact Mr. Bryan has been beaten twice for
President and Mr.. Kern twice for Governor.
1.-THE News and Courier" is premature. 1t
would do better 10 wait and hear from head
quarters before it, announces that the people
really rule There may be still another mis-
carriage of the electoral machinery next No
vember.

ticaIly the whole tenantry of the island.

Is to be feared that the Irish problem Is not as
nearly settled as it was hoped that 1t would
be by those who were responsible for this
agrarian legislation. The population Of the
island is steadily declining has shown a de
cline from 4529,91 in 1897 to 4,377, 064 in 1907
the number Of engrants exceeding the excess
Of births over deaths, while political agitation
and agrarian discomfort and disturbances have
by DO means been abated. What next method 0f
solution Will be applied is matter for specua-
ton and expectation But there are those who
recall the historic fact that the time Of Ire
lands prosperity was the time Of protective
tariffs and that the islands decline dates from
the imposition Of free trade. 1t would be an
interesting turn of affairs IL Mr.. Chamberlain
who has been hated by Irishmen more than
any other living man, should prove to be the
''most distressful country's' best friend.

TRISH LAND DEALINGS.

1t used to be said by many that the land
question lay at the root of the whole Irish prob
lem. The system of absentee landlordship,
with its extortonate rents and few improve
ments impoverished and oppressed the people,
ernbttered them against their landlords, and
therefore against England ITSELF and provoked
them to boycotting moonlighting and other
acrarian crimes. Give the people fair rents,
il was said, or, better STILL peasant proprietor
ship and they would be prosperous, contented
and loyal. So Mr.. Gladstone argued ut one
time after he had tried coercion and before
he tried Home Rule. So others, in England aud
in Ireland, have plausibly contendeG. In 9ur-
suance OF that policy various land acts have
boon put upon the statute books In the last
fventy-seven years with results which are
tainly Impressive IN the numbers and SUMS
which they involve though it does not appear
that The desired end has been entirely attained.
A Blue Book just published sets forth the
workings of these acts from 1881, when the first
land act was passed, TO the end Of March, 1903.
For the judicial fixing Of fair rents no fewer
