Under this bill neither the landlord nor ten ant would be owner of the land.

M. B. RISDON, General Insurance Agent, A GLADSTONE’S GUY. From Repression to» Reform, From the Poor House to Plenty. The Cabinet Iabors for Four Months and Brings Forth a Small Potato, Guaranteed a Positive Cure for the Ar.cient llls of Ireland. A Broth of & Boy From Cork Exclaims “Oh, Shaw!” Gladstone's Introductory. Loxpox, April 8 —In the commons Me. Gladstone rose at 5:49 to intro- duce the land bill. He was much cheered, and the house was exceeding- ly crowded. Gladstone said the bull wonld deal both with the relations be- tweeon landlcrd and tenaot snd sub- jects which may be grouped as requir- vancement from the exchequar. id this was the most ditficalt u n he had ever dealt with in his course of pelitical llfe. He felt satia- faction at exchanging the dreary work of repression for legislation of the im- proving and reforming character. The grounds which indaced the government to deal with the land question were not that Irish landlords sre bad, not that appesls to the passions of the Irish people had been made by persons whose wild proposals are little re moved from schemes of public plun- der, but because the Irish land laws oontatn peculiar provisions which pre- vent tha prosperity of the Icish tenant. Accordlog to the report of the Rossborough commission the Irish people declar they do_not desire ex- propriation of landlords or_confieca- tlon of the property of others, but they do desire to cultivate in security the land of the country, and eojey the fruits of their labor by paying fair rent for land. These being the views of the Irish people, we have a brosd basis on which we_may proceed to found legislation. It isnot just to say that legistation ia necossary be- cause of the faclts of Irish landlords. They have stood their trial, and, as s rule been acquitted, although the proceed- iogs of a limited number of them have bean srbitrary, harsh and croel This is partly, bat not solely, the renson for the necessity of the legisla- tion we are about to ntroduce. Mr. Gladetone then referred to the partial failure of the land act of 1370, which he attributed mainly, though not wholly, to smendments which the government had dissporoved. He inged: The present bill does an unregulated tenant right provision, but i made for preventing it from passing into ex- travaganoe and for protectiug the just rights of the landlords by bring- 1 g into fair competition the tenan: right to sssigy and the landlord's tight to get waat his land is worth. The salint point and cardinal ferturs of tho bill s the institutlon of a court totake cognizince of reat, and which will not be debarred from taking cognizence of tenure and assignment. Tnere are strong groands for making resort to this eoor® optioual instead or"compule sory. There may be tenants who do not desire the ionterference of this court. Every existing tenant might eall on the court to fix judicial rent for Sfteen years, during which there could be no change and no eviatlon, except for breach of cortain specified covenants. The Ulster commission will remaln as now, at the tenant's option; but the tenant will have the protection of the general provisions of the bill for controlling augmentation of rent. Power to contract out of the act is given where rent amounts to £200 yoarly. The court will have final authority over all lsnd cases. 1t is to consist of three persons, one of whom must be a judge or the ex-judge of the suprems court, Its proper seat will be at Dabilo, bu’ extra com- ‘missiors and, if necessary, sub-com- mirsions may be appointed under con- trol of the central commission. Civil bill cougts will be courts of first in- stance. 1t is proposed to sasist tenauts to purchase their holding and invest the couris with power to purchase Iands from landlords desiring to sell ana re-sell them retaining the title ss » guarantee for pay uent, and against which subdivision advances will be made tc ownets, tenants and sol- vent companies formed for the purposes of reclaiming land or for other agricultural ime provemens,on conditilon that the ad-- vance do not exceed the amonats the borrower has laid out on his own be- hal. Advance will also be made to assist emigration. They will be une contrel of the land commission svb- jeet to the consent of the treasury, and be mide elther to colonial gov- ernments or to companies. It isnot proposed to place any limit on those advances beyond making them secure. Mr. Gladstone concluded by -‘ylnz that justice is to be the principle to guide Eogland in regard to Ireland He completed his speech st eight o’clock, and was greeted with loud cheers on taking his seat. M-. Shaw said he belleved the lat- ter bill would give general satisfaction. He hoped this attemp*, which he be lieved was made honestly, to set- tle the question would be accepted in Treland as having been made in that spirit. Mr. Pornell said he cid not intend to express an opinion on the bill st present, but regretted the power as to emigration was not sccompanied by others enabling the land commis. sioner tu favor emligratim to lands that might be purchased for that pur- se. Mr. Forster took oceasion to state that the vovernment would be pre- pared to make an sdvance to tenants for the purchase of perpetual g;iz rents, this being the point which Mr. Gladstone omitted to mention of in his speech. 5 The land bill was then read for the first time. i The University Pull.
