The Land Tenure Question. Popular Aaita-


iion-Eho Real and Great Evil of the


Island-Enoris for Its Redress-Prosrccts OF
Success.


DUBLIN, Dec. 1S, 1889.


It now, believe, recognized by all classes OF
PERSONS irrespective or political opinion.-by the
landlord as well as the tenant farmer-that the
great cause OF irish poverty ana misery ls the pre-
carous hold which the ters OF the soil have OF tue
land they cultivate. This fact can scarcely excite
surprise when it 10 known that Ireland is almost
destitute OF manufactures and that threefourths OF
the people are directly depending for subsistence
upon the produce of tho soil. The land laws Of
England, am inclined to think would not have
added much TO her prosperity 1t not that agri
culture received such an extraordinary stimulus
from the capital derived from her commerce ana
manufactures. Even MIR. Bright Acknowledges this.
In speech in Dublin In 1867 he said that but for
the outlet for the population Afforded by manufac-
turing industry the condition OF England would
probably have been as bad as that Of
Ireland. But here as / have shown, the case
is different, the population being for the
most part engaged in agricultural pursuits. Any
thing that nerferes with the cultivation OF the land
Affects the whole population Of ireland.


II Is easy for any who has taken the trouble TO
study tho land question, for any one who has
"
land within the last few years that the great
evil ailictng society this country the insecurity
Of the tenure OF land. This the opinion arrived
at by the celebrated commission appointed to
inquire into the tenure OF land In Ireland, under the
presidency or the Earl OF Devon. The commissions rs
stated that the insecurity or tenure the cause OF
the bad cultivation OF the land and the miserable
condition OF the people. Poverty, the commissioners
said, was owing to the fact that the occupiers
held the Investment or labor and capital from heir
farms; that they did not wish to expend anything Oh
the property OF others without reasonable security
and that no such security existed IN regard 10 The
vast majority OF the Irish peasantry. In q
speech ut Manchester The O'Donoghue fully bears
out the opinion OF the Devon commission that In
tho majority OF cases the tenant farmers Of Ireland
have not sucent security to induce them to invest
their capital In the land. lie says that '1n Ireland
there are about 100000 persons occupying land as
tenants. That number included only the heads OF
families. But taking the moderate estimate OF Lord
Dunerin that each family consists OF nve, they
would have an agricultural population close upon
1000 000 or the 600, 900 heads OF families about
5sO 900 were tenants at will, without leases ana
could be dispossessed OF the land lne service OF
six months notice to quit.n Under these circum-
stances 1t Is quite impossible for the great bulk OF
the peasantry either TO prosper or DC contented.
They are living IN state OF the utmost suspense
llving In hourly expectation OF tns Iatal notice.

A correspondent, who is 4 physician,
sends us the following particulars Of
IN extraordinary case of hydrophobia.
His letter is dated at Toledo, Ohio,
April Goth: .


About four years ago two men in
this city had fight In a saloon. They
were both powerful men, and they had
q long and bloody tussel with each
other. While fighting one Of the men
had a finger badly bitten by the other.
The finger became inflamed, and the
inflammation extended to the whole
arm; and for some months 1t was eX-
pected the man would die, but he re-
covered and the wound healed up but
rs soon as the wound had healed he
began to show some signs of insanity
or madness. He fancied, when sleep
ing, that the man who had bitten him
was always attacking him and he
would wake up In great rage, strik-
ing In every direction at his antagonist,
and so he would remain for some time,
before the delusion passed off. Shortly
after this he began to see the mans
shadow In water, and in all other
fluids mixed with water, but it would
not be visible in looking glass. Other
symptoms increased the first two years,
and were only exhibited once month
at full moon. At the close Of the third
year, at every full moon, he fancled
the moon was close by, and that be-
tween him and the moon stood his old
antagonist in q threatening attitude.
He would rave and be furious for about
twenty-four hours, and then the spasm
would pass away; bnt in the mean
time he would not attack any other
person. The novelty of the case
puzzled all the physicians in this city,
and In this part Of our State, but it ter
minated at the last full moon. Just
as the moon was rising he happened to
be at one of our docks on the Maumee
river, and fancied the moon and his
old rival were preparing for fight.
He sprang to meet him, jumping into
the water and was drowned before as
sistaIce could reach him. The name
of the man thus afflicted was Patrick
Clair, an, old resident of this city, and
at one time an active business man.
The man who bit him was stranger,
whom nobody knew, and was never

This is one of the most important under
takings, not so much on account of its mag
nituGe as its business value to the commune
tY, our citizens have undertaken in some
time. As our readers are aware this plank
road is to start from the eastern end OF Ma
son street bridge on East River in the 1st
Ward. and run directly east about a mile
until until it strikes the Manitowoc road the
planking viii be continued on this road
distance of about sixteen miles, which will
carry it to the eastern limit of Brown County
This section Of the county during four
months of the busiest part of the year is al
most inaccessible by reason of the bad roads
and as consequence, a large trade is di-
verted TO other and more distant points
About 81, 900 more is needed TO complete
the undertaking. We believe the stock will
be paying one, but whether it is immedi-
ase!y or not every merchant and business
man is interested in it and should heartily
respond to the call of the Directors for sub
scriptions. More than the amount they are
asked to subscribe in the way of stock is an
nually substracted from the profits of the
business of this city. in consequence Of the
vicious character of the present road.


The above is from the Green Bay Ga
1ette. We would call the attention of our
business men to the fact that it is of the
greatest Importance to US to finish the
road from the northern county line to
this city. Unless the road is planked,
farmers who reside nearer the Green Bay
end OF the road than they do to Manito-
VOC will take their produce to that city
for The reason that they prefer going the
much longer distance on good roads than
to travel over t'le miles between them
and this market with the roads in the
condition they usually are-extremely bad


Our city cannot afford to lose the trade
of the country along the Green Bay road
but it surely will unless the road is con
structed.

KEwAUNEE. The Enterprise says that
the citizens Of Ahnepee, at their election
last Tuesday decided by the overwhelm-

of $40, 900 for the improvement of their
harbor Also that John Koller, aged
27, went out shooting pigeons on the
morning of the 11th, using a very short
double -barreled gun. He was seen by
some boys passing over a clearing into q
piece that had the timber cut several
years ago, and was partly grown up with
underbrush and being used as q pasture.
The boys heard shot, and, seeing no
pigeons fy in the neighborhood, and
hearing groans>in the direction in which
the shot was fred, they thought some
thing was wrong. On Fastening 70 the
spot they found him lying in the brush.
lie told them in substance that while
loading one barrel the other was dis
charged--perhaps by coming in contact
with the brush. The whole charge en-
tered his abdomen on the righ1 side, the
shot passing upward through his body.
The gun vent off so close to him that
the wound appeared no larger than one
caused by a bullet, and his clothing was
considerably burned lie was conscious,
and knew from the first that he had to
die. He sent for his wife, took leaye of
her and his friends, asked God to haye
mercy on his soul, and expired about
half or three quarters of an hour after
being shot, suffering considerable pain.
He leaves wife and two children.
