What effect his death wiu nave ou the lish Times is an interesting question. Parliament, as far as Ireland is con- cerned, adjourned yesterday for the Easter recess, but for a whole week at least before it was pretty busy with Irish affairs. Among other matters discussed was another Irish land bill, The measure was a small one and merely proposed to correct a few de- fects in the existing code; but it was vehemently opposed by the represent- atives of the landlords and also by the Government, and, of course, rejected. Nor is it likely that another Irish land bill will be passed for a considerable time to come. The present govern- ment is not, of course, naturally dis- posed to pass land bills for the benefit of the tenants of Ireland, and the re- port of the Jast Royal Commission ap- pointed to inquire into the working of the Irish land code will stand as a per- manent barrier against a land bill de- signed for the benefit of the landlords. The commission in question—known as the “Fry Commission”—consisted of Sir Edward Fry, an ex-Judge of the Eng- lish High Court; of Dr. Traill, a rep- resentative Irish landlord, as well as a fellow of Trinity College; Mr. George Fottrell, a crown official, supposed to be in sympathy with the tenants; of a Scotch tenant farmer and an English land valuator and auctioneer. The com- mission was appointed at the instance of the landlords, and the expectations entertained in regard to it by the land- lord body were correspondingly great. But the verdict of the commission as embodied in its report published a short time ago has been a great disappoint- ment to both sides. It is virtually a verdict against the landlords. These latter had formulated a terrific indict- ment against the administrators of the land acts, and the Commissioners have practically said to that charge, “Not guilty.”. This pronouncement closes the controversy for years to come, at least so far as the landlords are con- cerned, for, when their own represent- ative in the commission pronounces himself against them in the main point, it is vain for them to endeavor to keep the controversy alive. The best thing they can do now is to sell out to their tenants, and, if they sell at present, they will have an opportunity of doing well for themselves which may not re- cur. The reason is that they will be paid in Government land stock, which is now at a premium of 14 per cent. The probability, on the whole, is that they will now have sense. The ques- tion is, whether the tenants will have sense also and stand out for good bar- gains. The interest here in the relations be- tween Spain and the United States is very general and very great. Needless to say, the Irish people almost univer- sally sympathize with the American people, and that on two grounds: First, they are naturally on the side of the Cubans, who are struggling to be free. “Haud ignara mali, miseris suc- currere disco.” But above and beyond the feeling in favor of Cuba is the feel- ing that the United States has been the chief refuge of the exiled Irish for at least half a century. Not that there is not also a general sympathy, apart from this present crisis, with Spain too. Between Ireland and Spain there has been a long historical connection. Spain was one of those countries to which the Irish fled in droves in the days of religious persecution and where many of them rose to eminence. An O’Donnell even at this day, I believe, is to be found in the Spanish Ministry. But when it comes to a question of choosing between Spain and the United States there is no hesitation in the Irish mind, and consequently most Irishmen hope that if war breaks out Irish- Americans will be found in the very van of the army of the stars and stripes. As yet no demonstrations have taken place in Ireland on this matter, but if war does break out demonstra- tions there will be and plenty. The distress in the west continues very acute, and the action of the Gov- ernment in regard to it very heartless. The latter has not taken a single ex- ceptional step to relfeve it which in- volves an expenditure of Imperial funds. What they have done s simply to authorize the local authorities to spend some money in giving relief to the most destitute outside the work- houses and in starting some public works. The money thus expended will eventually come out of the pockets of people, some of whom are themselves not far removed from pauperism and will hereafter form a crushing burden on the smaller ratepayers. Besides, if it were not supplemented by the ef- forts of charitable people both in Eng- land and Ireland it would be utterly insufficient to meet the crisis which has arisen. Fortunately, up to the present those charitable efforts have been on such a scale that no great dis- aster has occurred. The question is whether they will be continued till this year’s potato crop has come to ma- turity or till the distressed people, most of whom emigrate to England every year for work, are able to earm the means of subsistence.
