The Portland Daily Press from Portland, Maine • 2

FRIDAY MORMNG, JANUARY 14. four per cent. This increase, for the most part, is limited to two counties, Androscoggin and Aroostook, and is due chiefly to the manufacturing interests of the one, and the agricultural attractions of the other. Thousands of our citizens have left the State, during the decade, to escape their burdens of debt and taxation, hoping to better their chances in a new country. Why is it that the West is making such drafts upon our population, upon the bone and muscle and intelligence of our Stater A prosperous people do not emigrate; only those who are in distress.

This is true of emigration from one State to another, as well as of emigration from the old countries to this. One of the most efficient causes tending to drive citizens from the State, is the law of imprisonment for debt, as all must admit who know anything of its operation. This law is made the means of great oppression. Demands are cut up into small amounts, ten or fifteen dollar notes given, execution taken out upon each, and the debtor is pursued, harassed and oppressed, until he is forced to leave the State to preserve his personal liberty. The poor debtor in this State is deprived of the benefits of the statute exempting his property from attatchmcnt, for it must go, if it be his last cow or shoat, to pay the fees and cost of his last disclosure.

It is a shame that the personal liberty of the citizen should be held more cheaply than the collection of a ten dollar demand. Maine is now about the only State that retains upon its statute books this relic of barbarism. The act of last winter, giving justices of the peace and of the quornm jurisdiction throughout the State, adds to the abomination of this law for, in case of disclosure, the creditor may take his justice from the most distant part of the State, at the expense of the debtor. USURY. Then, in aid of the law of imprisonment for debt, we have a statute which limits the interest which the creditor may exact, only by his greed and the necessities of the debtor.

Under this law, whatever the exactions by the money-lender, in the form of interest, they are not regarded as usury or extortion, only as a business transaction. The evil effects of the law develop slowly but surely. They tend not only to transfer the property of the many to the pockets of the few, but to paralyze and blight all productive industries, by rendering the trade of the money-lender the most profitable as well as the most favored business in the State. The evil effects of this law have been most conspicuous in the disasters it has brought upon our savings institutions. All have suf fered by it and many have been brought to the verge of ruin.

The managers of these institutions are of the best men in our btate, and yet. in the management of funds, not their own, and under the restraints of legislative supervision, such was their passion for high rates of interest, these men neglected their first duty to the depositors and loaded the banks with investments of such doubtful character that banks holding six millions of deposits suspended payment. If these insolvent banks had gone into the hands of receivers, instead of having their liabilities scaled down under the wise provisions of our law. the result would have been disastrous inilpprl. If mod hpst.

in tVip handling trust funds, arc so anxious to make money for others, what may we not expect, under the license of this law from men who are governed, in their rates of interest, only by their greed to make money for themselves This law also tends to aggravate, immensely, far greater resulting from the nontaxable government bond. GOVERNMENT BONDS. Debt, public and private, debt and taxation, are slowly but surely undermining our free institutions. Government bonds not only escape taxation themselves, but they furnish a cover for all other kinds of evidences of debt that arc taxable. 1 his double iniquity must be endured so long as United States bonds are endured.

It would seem that the proposition to refund the seven or eight hundred millions of United States bonds now maturing, could meet with little favor by the mass of the people in this State; that their interests demand that these bonds should be paid, not refunded to remain a burden for a generation at least, and perhaps for generations. Then that other proposition, before the American Congress, to retire and destroy the 346,000,000 of legal tender them, so that out of their ashes may arise a like amount of interest-bearing bonds to further tax the labor and industry of the country! Would it not be more in accordance with the interest of the toiling masses in this country, to require the national banks to retire their currency, some over three hundred millions, and replace it with United States legal-tenders, and thereby Say off a like amount of United States bonds, urn them up and thus relieve the people of so much burden of interest, and above all, from the baneful influence of these bonds upon the currency and business of the country The Treasurer of the United States in his last report says: Instead of the volume of the circulation being regulated by the business needs of the comntry, it is governed by the price of United States bonds! Within the last year a large reduction of bank circulation has taken place in the face of an active demand for money, simply because a good profit could be made by withdrawing and selling the four per cents deposited as security for circulation. Nearly twenty-five million dollars in four per cent bonds were thus withdrawn during the last fiscal The power that controls the volume of the people's money is certain to control the destinies. This question of the currency is one about which honest men may honestly differ. It is an important question.

Its decision will be of far-reaching consequence. If the bank currency win the whole field of circulation, then we sha'l have a never-ending national debt, maintained by the banks as the basis of their existence; yes, fostered by them as a the banks, ever increasing in number and power as the country increases in wealth and population, and certain to become, if not so already, a political machine, hostile to free government, mingling in the elections and legislation of the country, cor UI1U VAVlUllg it'J 111 the only way known to the money corruption. But it is claimed that this bond policy is demanded in the interest of idle capital; that it is necessary to furnish opportunity for the safe investment of idle These safe investments for idle capital are destructive, not only of the industries, but of the morals of the people. As they render the trade of the money lender the most profitable business, they tend to create a race of idlers, misers and cowards who will never take any chances with labor in the productive industries while this opportunity for safe investment and exemption from taxation is open to them. They take no risks.

The Vanderbilts with tens of millions of United States bonds, spending the interest in Europe, and the tens of thousands of lesser bondholders, who produce nothing and do nothing except are they to this country and its industries, but a class of gilded paupers supported by the labor of the country If this bondholding policy shall continue, judging by the rapid accumulation of property in the hands of the few, dnring the last fifteen years, how long will it be before wc shall see, in this country, the same condition of things as in England where one hundred and sixty persons own one-half of all the soil of England, and two-thirds of Scotland; or, as in Ireland, where only one person in ten hundred and fifty-eight, owns one foot of mother earth? Order reigns at Dublin today so it did at Warsaw. Wc have in this country 5,000 persons who own and possess 5,000 millions of property, mostly accumulated within the last fifteen years, and that too, through unequal laws. Twenty years ago a millionaire in this country was as rare as a prince, and so was a tramp. CORPORATE TOWER. According to Manual on Itailroads, the number of miles of railroads in operation in this country, increased from 9,000 in 1851 to 86,500 miles in 1879; and the gross earnings from $36,000,000 in 1851 to $529,000,000 in 1879.

These facts serve to illustrate the most startling development of the of corporate power. The presidents of the great trunk lines in this country control property, three of them, valued at and three others, property valued at $943,000,000. These great trunk lines have been in the habit of combining, and raising and lowering rates, not according to business principles, but accordins to their selfish interests. Tt is notorious that the change of these rates in a single week recently added per week to the burdens of the people, and put many times that amount into the hands of Eastern holders of grain, some of whom were railroad directors. Continue for another half century the present power of corporations to tax the public and we shall have a moneyed aristocracy in this country such as the world has never seen, and with all the attendant phenomena of venal legislators and corruption in high places, which have caused the downfall of all republics in history.

How. then, can any reflecting mind, any patriot, contemplate, without anxious concern, the tendency of the legislation of this country to create such rapid accumulation of property in the hands of the few at the expense of the many? freest says Webster long enaure, where the tendency ol the laws is to create a rapid accumulation property in a few hands, and to render masses of the people poor and Universal suffrage and great landed estate! cannot long exist together, for either thi owners of the estates must restrict the rigli of suffrage, or that right of suffrage will in the end, divide their estates. Is it not time that we paused in our career and reviewed our principles? FREEHOLDS. Our institutions were founded upon equality or rather grew out of condition of comparative equality, as to property that characterized the early settlers of New England. They brought with them no great capitals and, fortunately for humanity, there was nothing here productive, to tempt investments.

If one millionaire had come over in the Mayflower he would have blasted the prospects of a continent; for ours, then, would have been a government not to protect labor but capital. Capital would have shaped it. Our ancestors came here all upon an equality as to property, or rather us to poverty. But the lands were all open and free to them. They entered into possession and established the town system, the hundred acre lot system; and upon this foundation they builded their free and Christian republic.

All were tillers of the soil; tenant farmers but freeholders, having absolute domination over their acres, recognizing no man as lord or master, no power between them and the God they worshipped. They were lords and sovereigns themselves, and if we are a nation of sovereigns to-day, it is only so far ns we arc a nation of freeholders. When these sovereigns got together to form a government what kind of a government could they form Only that under which all were equals, all were sovereigns. They could not have formed any other if they had tried. was this necessary act of parcelling out the land into small says Webster, fixed the future frame and form of their Our New England ancestors not only began their system of government under a condition of comparative equality as to property, but all their laws were of a nature to favor and perpetuate that equality.

This is undoubtedly the true principle of legislation. Any system of legislation therefore that tends to destroy this happy equality, wipe out the small freeholds and centralize the ownership land in the hands of the few, not only destroys the prosperity and independence of the people, but strikes at the very foundation of our republic. There is nothing in this countrj so sacred as the freehold. It was the immediate parent of our free-school system and constitutes the essential condition of its existence, for in a country of great landed estates the district school system is as impossible as it is unknown. CONCLUSION.

At the foundation of our free system therefore lies the principle of euuauty, and only upon that principle can it be preserved; for it can rest in the love of all only as it rests in the interests of all. Move it from this basis of equality and our temple of liberty falls, and then who shall raise up its stately columns again? It was only by the happy concurrence of the most fortunate circumstances, our eonstiution was framed and adopted. No other people, no other couutry, no other age was equal to the work. IIo far beyond thepowers of the American people to-day is such an achievement? We should know, since we are not able to supply its one little defect in relation to counting the electoral votes. The wisdom and natrintiam nf flnmn-pec ic nnuinal the task though urged to it by every consideration of public safety.

No, if our experiment of free government shall fail from the earth, it will be the knell of popular liberty the world over and for all time. Cicero, in one of his orations, is led off into a panegyric upon the Roman constitution. How apt are his words, when applied to our immaculate charter, that crowning glory of the master-piece of human invention, at once the wonder and hope of the constitution under which we live! for, says the great orator, wonderful system and discipline of government which we have received from our let us preserve Harris M. Plaisted. METEOROLOGICAL, INDICATIONS TOR THR next twenty-four HOURS.

BY TELEGRAPH. THE PEMBROKE TRAGEDY. Young Longmore Convicted of Man slaughter. Machias, Jan. first witness for the defence in the trial of young Longmore was Mrs.

Longmore, the mother, who testified to the age and disposition of the prisoner Mr. Longmore I first met the prisoner after the accident he could not speak from fright; ordered prisoner's brother to clean up the blood in the privy; he took a spade to do so; next saw the spade in the barn on a pile of chips; several people had their hair cut iu the barn; the hair was swept among the chips upon which the spade lay; there was no blood on the spade when Joe (the brother) took it to clean the privy; when I learned of the accident I teok Warren and went to to see Freeman. Mrs. Davis testified similarly to last witness. Always knew Warren: never heard anything against him; when Joe look the spade there was no blood on it; when he brought it back it was covered with blood and dirt.

The defence closed without examining the prisoner, considering him too youug to undergo a strict cross-examination, and because his statement of the affair had been given by several others. Briefly, his story is that he sat in the dining room, opposite the door, holding a gun, waiting to shoot a cat out in the yard. Freeman went from the window to the door and stood there. The gun was The prisoner attempted to let down the hammer and put the gun away, but in doing so the hammer slipped and discharged the gun, shooting him in the head. He carried the body round to the privy to leave it there while he ran for father.

He told different stories at the time because he was frightened and know what to say. At 11 a. m. to-day Mr. McNichol closed his argument for the defence, and County Attorney Rounds followed for the prosecution.

Judge Libbey, in his charge, instructed the jury as to what constituted murder in tho different degrees, and said that sympathy for the accused should not be manifested on account of his youth. The jury must be governed by the -law and evidence. The power of fixing the penalties or granting pardons did not rest with the jury. The Court explained the testimony in all important points very clearly. The testimony of the physicians was that the gunshot wounds would not cause immediate death, if at all, but the wounds on the head inflicted by murderous weapons cause the death.

The course Longmore pursued in dragging the body after shot but before death ensued was dwelt upon. The prisoner seemed indifferent all through the trial and unconcerned when the verdict was reported. The jury went out at half-past 3. They reported at 6 a verdict of manslaughter. Sentence will be given tomorrow morning.

A DREARY DAY Listening to Cheap Demagoguery. GREENBACKERS TICKLED AND EVERYBODY ELSE DISGUSTED. Plaisted Ignores his Council and Spends the Afternoon with Fogg. THE JOINT STANDING COMMITTEES APPOINTED. (Special Despatch to the Augusta, Jan.

13. The inauguration of Gov. Plaisted today was witnessed by about the usual number of spectators on such occasions, who occupied the galleries and floor of the House where the interesting ceremonies took place. It was a note" worthy fact that in one of the galleries there were some who were better known last winter as Capt, men, while on the floor sat their chief in a secluded spot. Other well known Fusionists who were connected with the Stato steal a year ago were in attendance, notably Fogg and Chase of Council, and P.

A. Sawyer, deputy Secretary of State under the Fusion regime. There was profound silence when Gov. Plaisted proceeded to read his message, which occupied one hour and fifteen minutes in its delivery. The Governor made uo attempt at at oratory, probably because he has not a good voice.

He wore a black frock coat buttoned to the neck, and presented a military bearing. His iron gray hair and nicely waxed moustache and hirsute appendage would rather indicate that he had not long been out of the tousorial chair. There was but one attempt at applause while the message was being read, and that was when the Governor stigmatized the holders of government bonds as a class of gilded paupers supported by the labor of this country. But the attempt to applaud this sentiment was feeble, and was summarily squelched by a sharp, sibilant utterance of disapproval, which is said to have emenated from the month of a bloated Democratic bond-holder, who did not relish any such gush. His allusions to the power of the government and his reference to the opinions of a coordinate hranrdi as not.

he ing binding and of a cheap character, reminded one of the revolutionary talk of the eounters-out last winter, and were hardly expected from one who not pne hour before had taken a solemn oath to support the laws; while his fears.of military usurpation were purely imaginary. The message is the topic of conversation, and the comments various. While the Governor's views and recommendations on several subjects are approved by the Republicans, they believe that it would have been far better for him to have confined himself to state matters and not stepped outside and repeated bis campaign fiction of last fall, uttered in Ciceronian strains-JIt looked as if Plaisted were throwing a sop to the lowest strata of the social system. Some of the Republicans expressed considerable feeling. do you think of Gov.

asked a Press reporter of a stalwart Republican. quarters of he replied wi th in dignation gleaming in his eyes, a lie and a libel upon history. the speech of a demagogue. Its Garcelonism While the Greenback element is elated over the message, the old Democratic Bourbons have but little to say in commendation, and some of them do not hesitate to declare that they are ashamed of to-day's spectacle. Whether it was Joy design or accident that Goy.

Plaisted failed to receive the congratulations of the Democratic wing of the Fusionists not known to those outside of the inner circles, but certain it is that after he had delivered his message he was surroundod in the Executive chamber by Fogg, Chase, Sawyer and others of the Greenback ilk, who gave him a most cordial grasp of the hand, and appeared to be nearer to him as his constitutional advisers than the other gentlemen in the adjoining room, who had been selected by the Legislature as his Council. ft has been generally the practice after a Governor has delivered his message to have his Council meet at once and organize without any delay. Gov. Plaisted disregarded this practice, and even when Mr. Smith, Secretary of State elect, appeared before him to be qualified, Gov.

Plaisted in reply to the request stated that he felt too tired to administer the oath. He was not so fatigued however or so unmindful of his political frieuds but that he could qualify Representative John C. Talbot and also give his attention to other matters; and so while his council were at their post of duty and anxiously awaiting his presence so that the public business would not suffer by any further delay, the Governor was off all the afternoon engaged in a conference with Fogg and other Greenback leaders and working ap a boom with a view to his being a candidate for United States Senator in the sweet bye and bye. It is undertsood to-night that to-morrow Gov. Plaisted will meet with his council.

The joint standing committoes as made up seem to give general satisfaction although there are a few Greenbackers who aspired to be chairmen who claim that the Republicans have more than their share, and that the minority is entitled to one half. Several committees organized this afternoon, among which are those on legal affairs and the judiciary, and which will be ready for work next week. SIXTIETH LEGISLATURE.

Referred to private calendar. (It authorizes his retirement with rank, pay and emoluments of a Major General.) The House went into committee of the whole on tiie funding bill, the pending amendment authorizing the issue of bonds to an amount not exceeding which shall bear interest at 3 per cent, redeemable afteryears. Mr. Reed thought tho most sensible thing that could he done would be to agree to a thirty year 3 per cent, bond aud take the tax off the banks, but the only thing that could be done was to agree to an option bond bearing 3J per cent. The figures, facts and arguments urged by the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Randall) were in his opinion fallacious.

He ciiticised the action of the Speaker in making this a party question. The Speaker had declared that the Democratic party had always been in favor of paying the national debt. He would not charge the Speaker with having believed that except for a moment because he aud his party had gone down in three pitched battles on that very question. He had merely desir a to sound the party tocsin and bring the party solidly to ie question of a 3 per ceut. option bond.

Mr. Randall stated that he iiad been somewhat amused at the lecture of tho gentleman from Maine, which might better have come from any other member, for that gentleman had never gone very far beyond the lines of the narrowest partisanship. Mr. Randall accepted an amendment offered tojhis amendment by Mr. Towusheud of Illinois, limiting the amount of bonds to four hundred millions andjcertificates to be issued at 300 millions, whereupon Mr.

Mills offered an amendment fixiusr the time for the bonds aud certificates at one aud ten years, which was also accepted by Mr. Randall. Mr. Clafiin of Massachusetts moved to amend by making the bonds live aud ten years. Agreed to.

Mr. amendment as amended was then adopted 128 to 2-Weaver and Gillette. section ol the bill now provides 'hat all laws authorizing the refunding of the national debt shall apply to any bonds bearing a higher rate of interest than 11 per cent per annum which may horeafter become redeemable, provided that in lieu of bonds authorized to be issued by the act of July 11th, 1870, and the certificates authorized by the act of February 28,1879, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to issue bonds in amount not exceeding 400 in llions which shall bear interest at a rate of 3 per per annum redeemable at the pleasure of the United States after five years and payable ten years from date ot issue; and also certificates in amount not exceeding 300 millions bearing interest at 3 per cent, redeemable at the pleasure of the United States after one year and payable in ten years from date of issue. The bonds and certificates shall be in all other respects of like character and subject to same provisions as the bonds authorized by the act of July 14, 1870, refunding the debt, and acts am indatory thereto. Nothing in this act shall be so construed as to authorize an increase of the public debt and before any of the bonds or certificates authorized are issued it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to pay on the bonds accrued during 1881 all silver dollars of grains and all gold Qver and above fifty millions in the Treasury for redemption purposes.

It provides further that interest on (i per cent, bonds also authorized to be refunded shall cease at the expiration of 30 days after notice that the same have been designated by the Secretary of the Treasury for redemption. Several amendments were offered and rejected and pending one imposing an income tax House adjourned. WASHINGTON. A Monument to Christopher Columbus. Washington, Jan.

Cox has presented in the House a letter from the secretary of state, enclosing a communication from Senor Don F. Lithgrow, minister of foreign affairs for the republic of Dominica, which states that his government is desirous of erecting a monument to the memory of Christopher Columbus, that the republic of Dominica is financially unable to carry out this movement alone, and, therefore, it has been decided to invite the co-operation of the governments of the United States, Austria, Spain and Italy, each of which is interested in the commemoration of the achievements of the great navigator, and that to this end a contribution of $10,000 is solicited from each of these powers, which, with the amount to be appropriated by the republic of Dominioa, will give a suDlcientfuud to erect a monument in tile city of Santo Domingc, worthy of the discoverer of America. The letter of Secretary Evarts simply calls attention to the enclosure. The Civil Service.

Forfeiture of Vessels for Violating the Revenue Laws. The House committee on ways and means to-day agreed to recede from the amendment to the Senate bill amending the law relative to seizure and forfeiture of vessels for breach of revenue laws. The bill which passed the Senate at the last session of Congress provides that no vessel shall be subject to seizure or forfeiture unless it, shall annear that the owner or master at the time of the alleged illegal act was a consenting party or privy thereto.

Republican iigbt for United States Senator will have to be settled by the Republicans in tbe legislature. This afternoon a meeting of forty-eight Grow men was held who sigued a paper expressing the opinion that in the existing condition of things it is not for the best interests of the Republican party or welfare of the State to go into caucus and they intend to give expression to their individual preferences in the Senate and House or in joint convention. This action caused confusion in Oiiv r's ranks, who, however, went into caucus 08 delegates being present, and nominated Oliver on the third ballot. An effort was made to biud the members in writing to stick by the nominee, but it was resented as an insult. Mr.

Grow states to-night that the signing of the paper to stay out of the caucus does not vvuijivi IUIV Xvl null) uuu uu they will do so. It is hard to tell who will be the choice ot the Legislature. The Democrats favor Grow, and it looks as though some coalition would be formed with the anti-caucus Republicans. Tho Legislature stands 153 Republicans, 93 Democrats, 3 Greenbackers, 1 Greenbacker Republican and 1 Fusionist. MARSHAL FITZSIMMONS.

His resignation is expected. A Theatre Lives Lost.

Copknhagan, Jan. theatre at Croustadt was destroyed by fire and the director of the theatre and seven others perished. THE SPEAKERSHIP. Mr. Frye Withdraws from the Contest.

Boston, Washington dispatch to the Journal says: Frye, for political reasons, has withdrawn from the campaign for Speakership of the House of Representatives, an otiice to which there was every probability that he could have been elected. Mr. Frye will be a candidate for the Senatorship from Maine to fill a vacancy which there is the best of reasons for stating "will he created. Mr. Frye has withdrawn from his Speakership canvass at the advice of his friends, among them Senator Blaine.

The vacancy in the United States Senate, which Mr. Frye expects to fill, will undoubtedly be created before tho adjournment of the Maine legislature, as it is not supposed that the Republicans of the state will permit a Democratic Governor to appoint a United States Senator to assist the Democracy in organizing the Senate after March 4. Mr. Frye will prepare to push his claims for the Senate. This conclusiou would seem to set at rest all rumors that Mr.

Blaiue is not to have a place in President ANOTHER STORM. Snow and Intense Cold in the West. Chicago, Jau. blinding snow storm with heavy wind and low temperature lias prevailed all day. The storm is general throughout Iowa and Wisconsin.

UNEXPECTED SYMPATHY FOE IRELAND IN PARLIAMENT. A Strong Land Reform Measure Demanded. London, Jan. Irish members of Parliament will follow course in dissociating themselves from the Irish agitation and the Parnell Parliamentary party. Dublin, Jan.

the court of Bench today McDonough opened for the defence. He made a touching reference to the fact that he was almost the sole survivor of the counsel employed in the case. He denounced the prosecution as the indictment against the tenants of Ireland. The court is crowded. Longford, Ireland, Jan.

police and dragoons are assembled at Drumlish, and the infantry is momentarily expected, when they will proceed to assist in the serving of ejectment notices on Lord property. The people are armed with bludgeons and pitchforks, but an encounter will probably be avoided by the exertions of the parish priest. The Irish Question in Parliament. New York, Jan. debate on Mr.

amendment to the address to the Queen developed an unsuspected amouut of sympathy with Ireland on the part of the Liberal members. General disappointment has been expressed with the meagre outline of remedial measures proposed, aud almost every speaker has urged the government to adopt a radical policy in dealing with the land question. So far extraordinary unanimity prevails among the Liberal members in favor of a settlement which would meet the views of the Irish people. The radical section condemns the coercive proposals because coercion will exasperate the Irish people without securing the restoration of order. The Irish Liberal members declare that the policy announced by the government will lead to tho extinction of Irish Liberalism, and the Tories are alarmed by the progress of the Land League in Ulster, and declare themselves in favor of a fair settlement of the land quesiton, while urging the adoption of repressive measures.

So far, the only speakers who have unreservedly approved the foreshadowed policy are Tories. The government has evidently been taken by surprise by the decided sympathy with Ireland expressed by the provincial members of all shades of Liberalism, contrasting in a marked manner with the views enunciated by the London press. Not one Liberal member has unreservedly accepted the outline of the government's settlement. The tendency of the speeches has been to demand strong measures of land reform as the price of support for coercive measures. The extreme Radicals, led by Jesse Collins, the head of the Liberal caucus, and by Mr.

Cowan, editor of the Newcastle Chronicle, have signified their intention joining the Irish members in resistence to coercive measures. Reinforced by this powerful English contingent, Mr. Parnell and his followers will, it is said, oiler a strenuous resistance to the passage of a government coercion bill. It is expected that several months will elapse before their resistance can be overcome. In view of tho radical opposition to coercion and the general demand for sweeping measures of land reform, the government feels checkmated and is anxious to gain time, with the supposed object of modifying the coercive and strengthening the remedial proposals to meet the temper of Parliament.

Arrangements have been made between the government and Parnell but to take a division on amendment till Friday. The excitement of the struggle has told on Mr. health, and he was not present in the House yesterday. There was a rumor on in London Wednesday night that he was confined to his bed. Another London despatch says it is almost certain that proposed land bill will pass the Commons with the support of all the English and Irish Liberals.

Mr. Gladstone asked a deputation of Liberals yesterday their desires as to what the land bill should contain. Mr. Shaw, after the conference, expressed his satisfaction. The debate on the address was resumed in the Commons this evening.

Sir Mitchel Hicks Beach, formerly Chief Secretary for Ireland, said that if the facts stated on the part of the government were true they were amply sufficient to justify coercion. Mr. Gladstone's Land Bill. London, Jan. correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says: In the interview with the Parliamentary deputation yesterday, in regard to the Irish land question, Mr.

Gladstone virtually said there was practically little difference between himself and the deputation. Tho greater portions of the questions were directed to the fixity of tenure. The twe other fair rents and free sales conceded. The deputation left with the conviction that the bill to be introduced by the government will be found to embody recommendations of the principles of security or fixity of tenure in connection with periodical revaluation of rents.
