The landlords in Scotland are, it appears, suffering from tuberculosisâ€"â€" not in their lungs, but in their pockets â€"â€"if a writer in an old country publica- tion called The Surveyor is to be be- lieved. After giving statistics to prove the prevalence and fatality of the dis- ease amongst cattle, he says: “ In round numbers, tuberculosis caused an amount ofloss to the owners of dairy stock in Scotland of nearly £440,000. In the county of Wigtown alone the loss amounted to £22,000. In Ayrshire there were'50,000 cows, the loss amount- ing to £49,000 per annum. In other words, extirpate tuberculosis from Ayr- shire and the farmers could pay annuâ€" ally £49,000 more rent." The naivette with which the interests of the landlords alone are considered is simply delicious, and shows that the mind of the writer has not been troubled by the burning que~rtions discussed by Henry George. In his work “ Protection and Free Trade ” Mr. George says that the ardor of tree traders is somewhat dampened by the fact that, in the end, free trade, like all labor saving inventions, simply enriches the landlords; because the moment anything happens to financially benefit the tenant, his landlord quietly demands a. higher rent. At first sight, anyone would think that the less by tuberculosis in Scotland would fall upon the farmersâ€"the owners of the cattle ; but our quotation from The Surveyor clearly shows that Henry George is right, as it is distinctly Stated that, but ,l'or the prevalence of the disease, the landlords would be able to obtain con- siderably higher rents. The monstrous wrong of individuals holdingâ€"we re- fuse to admit that they rightfully own â€"â€"â€"teus of thousands of acres of land, and wringing all but it bare living from those who till them, is becoming so generally admitted that the evils of the system are gradually being mitigated by the increasing leniency of thefrighteued landlords, who can see the trend of pub- lic opinion and know the danger of outraging it. The liquor trafiic, an infinitely greater evil than landlerdism, nearly inonopolizes the attention of social reformers, and when that shall have been disposed ofâ€"or, atany rate, crippledâ€"-â€"by prohibition, as it will be sooner or later, it is probable that the system by which one class lives in idleness and luxury on the industry of another will be taken up as the question of chief moment. tn, which I will sell at test estate sea as I do not want to carry them over.

Charles Luckey, the hero of the New Bliss tragedy, has been found guilty of murder and sentenced to be hanged on the 14th of December. It will be remembered that Luekey’s father, sister anti step-mother Were all barbar- ously done to death and that the farm- house in which they lived was set fire to in the hope of hiding the crime. Charles Luckey, who had come out of prison the day previous and was arrested in a hoth at Smith‘s Falls .t few hours after the tragedy, was first tried for the murder of his father and was acquitted ; “c 3 Fair t- 21‘1") 1 9. . . hpndon ‘ 15’ Jun” 3 "Jill ’ 189‘) but at the trial, which was held las. week at Belleville» for the murder of the other two, the fresh evidence that WM adduced and his own admission T0 the Farnlers 0f Fe‘neloll, terrible crime was committed left no doubt as to his guilt.

At- ' Dandas Jackes was the member of the burglarious firm who appearel in pub- lic, Clark lying hidden somewhere in or near the village during the day; but as the former, though disguised, had a.- .cear on his face, he was easily identified by two residents of Dundas, one of whom was a blacksmith to whom he applied for work and some of? whose,» ‘ _ tools he stole to force an entrance into j 'the postâ€"office.

And the farmers are no better than the rest, for at difi'erent places at which they were lately interviewed by the travelling controllers they clamored loudly for a reduction of the duty on agricultural implements, but insisted on the reten- tion of the duty on American corn and pork ; in other words, they want protec- tion themselves, but would deny it to manufacturers. Whether printers and publishers are or are not as selfish as the rest of mankind is a question we are unable to answer; but, at the same time, it. is possible that if a proposal were made to prohibit the circulation of any paper but the Gazette within a radius of twenty miles of Feuelon Falls, we should consider it far more incum- bent upou those who would suffer from the prohibition than upon us to show the absurdity and injustice of the proposal. __,.__â€"â€"â€"=g==â€"_ Moved by Mr. Arnold. secmided by Mr. Austin, That Mr. W.
