many further details of improvement
of modern methods of tillage-oi
the increased output of agriculture
of increase in culture, intelligence
and morality-of the decrease of
crime, disorder and sedition-and the
checks upon emigration. What has
been called economic determinism, F"
or the "materialistic conception of
history" finds itself well illustrated
and indicated in this report. Like
wise, the old saying that "you can't
make people better by law" receives
its proper correction.
For it was by law that the entire
change was brought about. The law
once gave the better share of the
produce of the soil to Duke My-grand-
father-ha d-a-long-spear or to Earl
My-ancestor- was-a-court lickspittle.
But now the law compels the said
duke and the said earl to take such
a reasonable rent as a commission
shall adjudge reasonable; or to sell
whatever land his tenant needs to the
tenant at a reasonable price on pre-
ferred payments in small instruments
and at low rate of interest. In 9th
er words, the state has interviewed |

dered the ancestor of the peasant, |
and gives the descendant a chance to
get back on reasonable terms what
was plundered from his ancestors.
The state has not adopted the Geor-

was much discussion of why
the American farms were be
ing abandoned for the city-why the
farmers boys and girls forsook ru-
raj life for the congested centers OF
population-an how the evil could be
checked. There was created the Amer

inquire into rural conditions at home
and in Europe. That commission has
rendered a report on rural conditions
in Ireland that is startling revela-
ton.
We have all read of the distressed
condition of the Irish peasantry as
it existed only few years ago-of
the rack-rents and riots-the boycott
and the bayonet-the squalor and pow
erty-the famines and starvation
and the consequent emigrations
threatening to depopulate one of the
most fertile and productive lands in
the world. All this is vivid mem
