"Crofts" and "Crofters."
The Atlantic cable recently
brought the news that "a compro
mise has been effected between
Lord Macdonald and the most per
sistent of the Sk3'e crofters." Per
haps not one in ten thousand who
read that little paragraph knew
what it meant. Skye is one of the
islands on the west coast of Scot
land, where it rains all the time,
and the inhabitants for the most
part malce a meager living from
their farms and garden spots, and
eke out their subsistence by work
ing for wages on the' mainland.
A "croft" is a small piece of ground
or .garden patch, and a "crofter"
is a small farmer, and, in this case,
a tenant. The island has a popu
lation of 20,000, but eight landlords
own the whole, and three four-
fifths of it. Exclusive of the small
town,-the island is rented in 1,720
parcels, of which 3.GS0 command
less than 100 a year, and the vast
majority not over $30. The land
lords have come to the conclusion
that it would pay them better to
let the whole island to, saj, a score
of tenants than to deal with 1,700,
and they are therefore trying to
"freeze out" the small farmers.
But these people have an aston
ishing devotion to the little island
(it has only 530 square miles of
territory,) and obstinately refuse
to be turned out of it. One of
the landlords, the Lor.i Macdonald
referred to, owns the mountain
Ben Lea. on which iT-rtain crofton
used to enjoy the free jurlit of
grazing. Of late he has, in pur
suance of n etllcd policy, tented
the mountain, and in nrder to re
gain their occupation of it the
crofters have struck against the
payment of rent. The Land
League agitation of Ireland is thus
almost exactly leproduced. The
authorities of every one of the
cities of Scotland have refused to
snid constables, and the govern
ment has refused to send soldiers
to serve processes on the island, so
that in the compromise referred to
the crofters have evidently got the
better of Xacdonald.
Last Friday the secretary of the
treasury decided that lands within
the limits of grants to a railroad
company to which pre-emption or
homestead claims capable of
being forfeited had attached at
the time the grant took effect are
excluded from the railroad grant,
and upon the abandonment of such
claims the lands do not inur Lo-the
company but arc testorcd to the
public domain; that erroneous
entry in a register's office ordered
corrected should not prejudice the
claim of the applicant.
