Tbe following Instructive urtiile wa prepared for aud read before the Himboro Chautauqua a.xiety a few evenings ojo by Ml4 E. Victor, of the public school. A friend, hearing It and being struck with the worth of the Information It Impart, toured It for publication. Ed. The land question in Ireland I of much greater Importance tnan it would be In many another country, for manufacturing U almost entirely a thing of the past, such a state of affairs lielng brought nbout by Eng land's free trade Holicy. The 1-opn- I lation must live on the land nnd In fill bj Its product-. TheilllHculth met with lure will In- undent od when wo learn that them am hut tl,(HMi,(MHi acres of un ful land to fmil over .HM),(nMi jnnple, and of thi' only ."iMMi.ikMi Bi n's am under tillanp an average of Imt one m-m to the individual. Under the Ns.t of laws such a state of atfairs would ln, to put it mildly, Inconvenient. Rut the be-t of laws do not govern Ireland. The land is divided among a comparatively Hinall numlH-r of landlords, who are, for the most part, habitual absentees and would an noon think of living In heathendom s Ireland. landlordism in Ireland was tho creation of comiuest. The lands were again and again conns eated by the crown and pans-led out to favorites. It can plead no title whatever to maintain an unlimited right of action In opposition to the welfare of the people on w horn it Is enforced. At least It can claim no such title now that the tim 1ms mused which insisted that the right of conquest sun-rceded all other hu man rights. And yet this right has stood In the way of reform for generation during which parliament had many measures under consideration which had as their object Security of Ten ure. This was the one measure above all others for which the Irish tenant longed. It was regardisl al most as an axiomatic truth that se curity for the 'enant meant confisca tion for the landlord. The tenants held their lands at the mercy of their landlords. They hail no interest In being Industrious ami improving the soil. If they im proved the patch of earth on which they worked their rent was allium certain to be raised or they were turned out of the land without receiv ing any compensation for their Im provements. The demand for land was so great, the nts-d of It ho vital, that men would offer any price for it. They would offer prices which they must have known the land would not enable them to pay, Just as a man will pay almost any lionus to save his property or credit in a fin ancial panic. And when ho had se eurod his pi(He ho had no idea of cul tivating it to the best of hlsjability, for the moment It began to present a better appearance, that moment he might look to have his rent raised or to be turned off in favor of some com petitor who offered higher terms for occupation, leaving his improve ments to tho landlord or newcomer. Ho was content, therefore, to merely scratch the soil, not cultivating it. "All the while tls-e out of every six English writers and political speakers were disi-ourslng gravely on the Incurable idleness and law lessness of tho Celtic race. The law gave him no security for the fruit of Mr labor and Englishmen wondered that ho was not laborious. The law told him that w hen he had sown he should not ho to reap and English men were angry that he would not persist in sowing. Imperial legisla tion showed Itself his fteadfast ene my and Englishmen wondered at his want of resjiect for law." In one part of Ireland a better con dition of affairs existed. Over th greater part of Ulster the "tenant right" system prevailed. It was a custom merely, but it had come to acquire something of the force of a law. This right held 1st, that a tenant should be allowed to remain In undisturbed possession so long as he paid his rent. 2d, That he should on giving up his holding, be entitled to comjiensation for his Improve ments. 3d, That he should be al low ea to sell the good will of his farm for w hat it would I ring in the market. Where this custom pre vailed there wa industry and pros perity. The observance of it was not confined to Ulster until after the was to coms?l many of the old land great famine of lSI7,onecffectof which lords who were ruined to sell their estates, thus bringing in many new landlords who as It afterwards ap peared had no Idea of being gov. creneil by the Ulster cutom. The growing difficulties between landlord and tenant caused the land act of 1570 to be pasnxl. This made the 'Ulster Tenant-right system" a law. It failed to give satisfaction, how ever, for under certain conditions the landlord could contract with the ten ant to make the law of no avail in their rase, and this was so generally done that there were more eviction than In-fore. Yet tho bill was of inestimable value to Ireland for it upset the fundemeutal theory on w hlch legislation tul ul ways been baed In dealing with Irelaud. It nvognlzed a certain ow ner-.li I p on the) part of the tenant ai well as the landlord. The law of '7U not being sat Isfai tory, another was pa -ties I in 'si. By this a court was established, which, w hen iippe-alcel to, fixes the rent, after hearing both landlord and tenant and havnig due regard fur the Interests of both. This rate can not be Increased for fifteen years. One cluii" of the act of '70 should lie noticed. It sought to pmvide menus for the tenant to buy his hold ing..j.ii t of the nioui-y In-ing IiniiiisI him by ihe government. This was not it success. It was claimed that them was much corruption and JobU-ry connectml w ith It. There have Ins-n later bills passed, the main feature of all being to rid Ireland of her large land holders, especially the ale-enti-es, by helping the tenant to buy his hoMigi;. I!e tween lss.'ianil ls;il about I0,(iiH, tXXJ were applied for by tenants to help in sts-iiriug their lands. Not being able to legislative satis factorily between landlord and ten ant, tho government seeks to abolish the relation existing In-tween them by making each tenant his own land lord. An excellent solution of the difficulty, if such a thing is posclble. We see that much has been done to better the condition of the Irish ten ant however unsatisfactory his pres ent condition may In?. We hope for yet better things for there is no lag ging In the patriotism of acme of Erin's sons. Though as Americans we natural ly feel much sympathy for any op pressed people, we should not lore sight of tho fact that this is,is Mr. Gladstone has said, '"a most complex difficult question to handle." For whatever wrong was commiited in years past, the present generation I not responsible. The question Is how to improve the condition of tin tenant without depriving the hind lord of his Just rights. It may be that Englsnd will yet do Justice to Ireland or, we can no' tell, it may be that Ireland w li settle then' matters lor herself after she has obtained tint fir which s'ie has so long striven, Home Rule. State Finances. Tho finances of the state of Oregon are In it very Rood shae. Few states in the union can boast of as clean a record, financially sn-aklng as Oregon. The present state debt Is nothing. There is 0S, 77:1.92 out standing warrants issued in 1 -',:! payment of which is provided for by state levy, and redeemable at any time. The state's receipts for the year ending Ih-ceniln-r 31, 102 was ii72,57.47. The state e.xpendi-d for the year 102 including fs7,l.)7.10 deficiency, the total sum f'ift,3rifl.2l. The taxation on $1W for s02 was five mills. These receipts were ex clusive tif the trust funds. The com mon school fund is in a prosperous condition and tho principal on Janu ary 1, 103 was 2,.M 8,0301.71 The agricultural college fund on tho same date was f 13.1,00.5.01, while the stale university fund was on the same date 1102,20.67. During 192 there was disbursed from the common school fund IC2,Oiii;.50 among llrt.770 school children. TheOervaise Star challenges any stato to make a Ix-tter showing. The state officials area conservative class of men and it Is through their efforts greatly that these funds are made to realize so well. The charac ter of tho citizens at helm of state government should receive the recongnition from tho eople that Is justly dun them. The present at tacks upon the secretary of state by tho Salem Independent are unwar ranted and will not rendound to that papers credit. (. W. McRride will not take one cent of the people's mon ey that he is not morally entitled to. A (.ore rnnieut of Straw. II. C. ('-astlc, formerly editor of the Advertiser, Honolulu, who Is visit itlng relatives at Ann Harbor, Mich., says it is not true that the queen was deposed by the American mlnliter or American fons-s. The American forces were passive oetators of the Conflict from beginning to end. j Speaking of thepripistl to rein- state the queen by this government, Castle says It cannot be done without j the grse.t injii-tice to hundreds of persons who have relied upon tin j gixnl faith of the United States. I Tho queen's government at In-stl would be simply a paper government ; unless supported by American bayo nets. Putting It back means simply ' using tho full force of the United States government to destroy a party i of progress and ability. M-wrs. Boies, Neal and Maynard are in a frame of mind to appreciate the force of Corporal Nytn's obser vation to Lieutenant Bardolphi; "Men may sleep, and they may have their throats about them at thatj time; and some any knives have' edge," THE Kl I'i r.lK AM AVALtM HE. , , , Had w... prcsel-ntul and cngn-w, sional ehs tii ms been held this yentr the republican would have secured x lar.ro preponderance in the electoral college and have curried the bouse of representative by fully Hi major- ltv. The truth of this statement is made f.lain bv tho revolution which ha4uvurn.il In ino-t of the - r the North which have just voted, New York changes a 4s,ihmi plural- Ity for Flower In WJI, and a 1iJ,(nm plurality for Cleveland in ls'JJ, to a republican lead v( about 70,1'sk) in ls;c! for Rart Ictt f'-r curt of apali judge, and of :iii,isx) tor the n-t o! the state ticket. Ohio, whh-h gave Ollt- electoral Vote to ( K vehtlld ill ls!i2, and vthieli f-ave Harrison a lead of only Io72 on the nit of the electoral ticket, rolls up a plurality of almiit 7o,immi for McKinley, a mar gin which is more than twice as broad as that gained by any other candidate for the L'ove mor-hip In that state since Hrough, in 1Si'i3, over whelmed the Copperhead leader N'allanilihain. These are the change in two of the most iiui'ort.tnt states which have Just voted. Iowa, which elec ted a democratic governor tw ice in Miivesf.ion, ami :wasachusetts w men did this three times, have given heavy pluralities for republican exec utive. Roih these states were car ried by Harrison, but they give larger majorities to the republican candidates for governor this year than they did to him. The magni tude of the republican triumph in Iowa is r uilered specially significant by the prominence of the prohibition Issue, which always hurts the repub licans, and the general weakness ol .he republican can ii la:e. in thai o.d democratic Mruiighoid New Jer sey Hie republicans carried the legis aturo, wh ch was all that wa el ci ed, byniuri m.j.rit.v.

Iu 1si;i) tl,e state's electoral vole was divided up between tbe re pul, liens and the Douglas demo crats. In till the country which voted, outside the ex-slave states, in w hich ;he republicans made no actual can vass, the republican party has been triumphant. Even Kansas and Col orado, which went populist for presi dent iu s',i2, were carried by the re publicans in the local elections Ju t held, and South Dakota, which gave Its electoral vole to Harrison, has rollnl up a bigger majority for the state ticket which it has chosen.
