LAND REFORM.
Evidently the day of land mono
poly has advanced past its meridian
in civilized lands. There was a
great meeting of rich, influential
landholders held in London on the
24th of April last. It was attended
by such persons as the Duke of
Argyll, Earl Carnarvon and the
Maiquis of Ripon. Resolutions were
passed to take steps for the imme
diate formation of a large corpora
tion, to be called the National Land
Company, for the purpose of secur
ing the gradual breaking-up of the
large-parcel system of land-ownci-ship
now injuriously prevalent in
Great Britain. As stated in a brief
telegtaphic leport of the meeting,
tlie present plan of the new organiza
tion is to buy up land at wholesale
and sell it out in lots not to exceed
forty acres, under conditions likely
to cause a further subdivision. The
company will, in all likelihood, buy
for cash and sell on defened pay
ments, covering at least ten ycais.
We have heard a .somewhat similar
scheme propounded here for secur
ing the grand object of settling the
country with a thrifty and indus
trious peasantry. Certainly to a
more patriotic object the accrued
wealth of this Kingdom could not
be devoted, and wc believe, if judi
ciously managed, such a scheme
would yield fair tetiiriis to its pio
moters. There arc many areas now
not much more promising than arid
deserts, which might by irrigation
be made to blossom as the rose. A
wealthy company could effect that
object much more economically,
wherever it was at all possible to
procure water, than any small
owners could individually. Indeed,
it is the impracticability of irriga
tion upon a small scale which stands
at present, next to the hold of mono
poly itself, most in tlie way of set
tling the country. However, there
is a good deal of land, compara
tively speaking, where the difficul
ties of irrigation arc not extremely
formidable, and to such territory
colonization companies could apply
their initial efforts. There would
doubtless be an up grade only to be
overcome by diligence and patience,
in tlie work of procuring settlers
here and abroad. Once, however,
the summit of the hill of difficulty
was reached, it would be safe for
the companies to undertake the
more expensive descriptions of land
reclamation. Wc can only entreat
public attention to this most im
portant subject, but would fain have
despotic power over .the minds of
our men of means long enough to
compel them to take action for the
salvation of their country.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Is the 1'ress sure that it was not
improved habits of living, as much
as anything else, that caused leprosy
to depart from the United Kingdom?
On July 1st and thenceforward
letters weighing an ounce will be
carried from one part of the United
States to another and to Canada for
two cents, the postage now charged
' on n half ounce. At the nme time
newspaper postage will bo reduced
, from two cents to one cent per
I pound. These changes mnik en
I lightened progress.
There i no doubt now that lite
Oceanic Slrainshlp Company Iiiih
been approached, not only by
Russian but by Kngllsli agents, to
treat for tlie put chase of their
Mounters. It is folly, however, to
talk of cither Power making use of
Honolulu as n fitting-out port for
depredators of commerce in a war
regarding which litis Kingdom must
be perfectly neutral.
LATEST FOREICN NEWS.
Owing to the serious illness of his
private secretary, Mr. Lamont, Pre
sident Cleveland has almost the en
tire burden of work thrown upon his
own "boulders, and it is feared that
he also may succumb to the effects
of overwork and climatic changes.
Gen. Grant drew his first month's
salary as a general on the retired
list on April 10th. His salary will
be S1.",000 per annum as long as he
lives. Excepting General Sherman,
all the other olllccts on the retired
list receive but two-thirds of their
regular pay. but by special Act of
Congress Sherman and Grant receive
full pay.
The low areas of Montreal and
suburban towns surrounding it arc
Hooded by the St. Lawrence backing
up from an ice jam at narrows below
the city. Provisions arc distributed
by boats to the people imprisoned in
tlie upper stories. The loss in pro
perty will be great.
A mounted band of masked rob
bers stopped the express for Chi
cago, on tlie Louisville, Nashville
and Chicago Railroad, near Har
rodsburg, Indiana, near midnight of
Aptil 20th, and, murdering the mes
senger, robbed the safe of the Ame
rican Express Company, and got
away with an unknown sum.
The Paris Fiijuro says that the
Government has decided on a mea
sure for the expulsion of tlie Orleans
and Bonapartist Princes.
rni; wak ci.ocu.
General Komaroff's explanation
of his conduct on the Afghan border
has been published in St. Peters
burg, and is as follows: "A tele
gram forbidding the occupation of
Penjdcli reached me on March 23rd.
I only communicated it to the com
manders of outposts, and did not
make it generally known. Colonel
Zacizcvski, with my permission, in
terviewed by correspondence some
British officers in his private capa
city. I did not admit their right to
treat officially. J addressed my de
mands direct lo the commander of
the Afghan forces. General Alik
lianoff, with the Sotnia of tlie Turco
mans, rode in the direction of Mor
kalo, along tlie river bank on the
Russian side. It was by no means
my intention to advnncc on Penjdcli.
To march the Sotnia in the rear of
1,000 Afghans was inconceivable.
One company of Russians marched on
the height of the right bank of the
Murghab river, but did not reach
our vidcttes on the left bank of the
same river. When the Afghans ap
proached, however, this one com
pany, by my order, leturncd to
camp."
The London IStandurd of May 1st
lias the following: "Wc are able
to state upon unquestionable au
thority that the English proposal to
Russia is for tlie submittal to arbi
tration of one of the crowned heads
of Europe of the simple question
whether or not the Convention of
March 17th was broken by Russia?
This proposal is now under consider
ation by the Russian Government,
which has decided lo convoke a
meeting of tlie Committee of Minis
ters at Gatschina to consider the
question."
A New York despatch of April
IJOth is as follows: The Russian
man-of-war Slrelok, which left Nor
folk yesterday, passed Sandy Hook
inward-bound at 8:!30 o'clock this
morning. Tlie arrival of the Stre
lok, which has been cruising on the
Atlantic seaboard some months,
followed from port to port by the
English frigate Garnet, gives zest to
the war anticipations hero, as it is
possible the first naval battle of the
impending war may be fought off
our coast. The Strclok skipped out
from Norfolk yesterday, leaving the
Gurnet at anchor there. The latter
is expected to follow her hither.
The Strclok is commanded by a
dashing officer, who greatly dis
tinguished himself in the Turkish
war. The English ship is larger,
and carries more guns, but tlie Strc
lok' is tlie faster vessel, and her guns
have a longer range, so the two .ves
sels arc about equally matched.
English shipowners arc urging the
necessity for the erection of de
fenses upon the river Clyde.
An English man-of-war has
anchored at the entrance lo the Dar
danelles, it is believed to watch the
laying of torpedoes.
The Moscow Guzitle, April ."0th,
says that if England wishes to avoid
wnr she must evacuate Port Hamil
ton at the entrance to the Sea of
Japan, otherwise Russia will be ob-
liged lo occupy Herat. The Ga
zette also says it believes tho ques
tion of peace or war must bo settled
within a few days. On the snino
date the Daily ireiw, British
Government organ in London, says
England has not taken possession of
Port Hamilton. The presence of a
fast British cruiser in the vicinity of
thai Island, the iYcici stales, was
probably the origin of the report.
The Btitish Wnr Office has called
out the Hint class of the army re
serves, comprising fifteen regiments,
for Immediate permanent service.
The Government estimate requires
that 05,000 men shall be added to
the present force of the army.
All the military reserves of the
first class In Russian Poland nnd the
southwest provinces of Russia have
been ordered to bo mobilized.
The Empcior William of Germany
is reported much depressed, yet
hoping at the very last moment
England will yield in some way.
The Czar has sanctioned the rais
ing of a large force of Turcoman
militia by Gen. Komaroff.
At a prolonged military council
held by Lord Duffcrin at Simla, it is
believed that it was resolved to con
centrate un Indian force at Qucttah
immediately.
Russia is making extensive land
and water war preparations with all
haste. Her military and naval men
are lepresented as being eager for a
brush with England. Two iron
clads, the Adimiral Nakilnnoff and
the Alexander II., each of which is
calculated to be a match for British
vessels of the Devastation class, will
be ready for sea early this summer.
Tlie Baltic licet now consists of 215
vessels, of which JW are ironclads
and 10!) torpedo boats, ready for
active service in ten days.
