BRITISH ROYALTIES QUARREL
IN COURTS.
Princess Royal and Her Daughter Go to
Law Over the Fife Estates.

London, July ga legal action in which
the persons concerned are members Of the
English royal family is causing much com
mtnt IL the smnII circle which has know
ledge of the facts.
The lti gants are the Princess Royal, eld-
est sister Of the King, and her daughter,
the Duchess OF Fife. The Princess Royal
is the widow Of the Duke of Fife, Who died
Inst year rs a result of a chill he contracted
in the wreck Of the Peuiuaujar aud oriental
liner Delhi, Oh which he was travelling.
There being no male heir, the title descend
ed to his elder daughter, Princess Louise.
The differences between the mother and
daughter relate to the property and estates
left by the d Ike, the courts being asked to
~adiudicate the question.
The matter has just been before the Chan
Gerry Count. There was much secrecy. Mr..
Justice Neville, in order to keep the cir
cmmstances private, heard the arguments Of
counsel after the usual court hours, sitting
~ what is legally termed an "in chambers
inquest" No member of the press or the
general public was admitted.
Of such an intricate nature are the ques-
tions involved that further legal arguments
will be necessary before Il decision can be
given by Sir RAJ pin NeviIe.-N. J. Times,

sELF.HELP FOR THE FARMERS.

Our commission of inquiry into conditions
of farming abroad has reached au interest
inc stage in it's work. After most cordial
entertainment in Rome, Berlin, and Paris,
and extensive, if rapid, tours Of inspection
in the several countries Of which these are
the capitals, the members Of the Commission
have been received in equally courteous
ftshion in Condor, and are now about to
make a study OF conditions in Ireland.
In some respects Ireland is likely to prove
one of the most fruitful fields for investga
ton. Not that the agriculture Of Ireland IS
better than hat Of the sister isle, bat extra
ordinary success has been attained thore III
the application of a peculiar and valuable
p~ri"ciple which roughly may be called self
help for farmers. The beginning was made
bv the association Of which Sir Horace PiAn-
kett was the energetic, wise, and ingenious
leader. Its basis was the nel9hbourhoot
organization of farmers for the purpose Of
interesting all in the work ard plans Of each.
A local club was formed to which the pro
iects of each member We're submitted, all
the members becoming responsible Tor loans
to carry out these projects, It approved. BY
this means the spirit Of enterprise, %stimulat-
cd and guided by the spirit of mutual aid
and combined planning and work, was gra-
duallv awakened. Corporation followed IN
the purchase Of supplies, in the sale, and
preparation for sale, Of farm products, IN
securing uniform quality IN these products,
and in making terms for transportation. In
extremely poor districts it was found best
to advance a moderate sum to start the
working of this system, which, however,
was usually gradually refunded, ana the
clubs became entirely independent, 1t ac-
tuaIly came about III numerous instances
that in these cooperative associations pros
perity was promoted by tho members, who
had little or nothing ut the outset, loaning
to each other capital which was prohtably
applied under the general direction and
guarantee of the association.
In the beginning there was some aid in
this movement by the Government while Sir
Horace Pluukett was at the head of the
Agricultural Department for Ireland. He
was removed for political reasons, Il sacrifice
to that charming sort Of Irish patriotism
which cannot brook prosperity for Ireland
if it does not come through the Home Rule
party. Bat the vital idea Of his work was
independent OF governmental help, and it
is on this account that we trust that our
Commission will investigate it carefully.
The modern tendency is too much III the
direction of dependence on the Government,
both for money and for initiative. No as
sistance of this sort can be permanently
effectual if it stiles individual effort and
