A Great Fruit Year
L As autumn approaches wo see tho unmls
f Akable evidences throughout the country

grass was already dry and brown and all
Browing things wore a wilted appearance
which suggested tho drought of summer
rather than budding spring the closing
days of August Und the orchards and the
forest luxuriant In their green and the
fields rich with strong and healthy crops
I is a season to make the farmer rejoice
and tho visitor to the country sees it now
In its most delightful gatb and In weather

What U I the Ulster Tenant Itljlitt
I has Iecentl been shown that some of
Mr PARNELLS demands oven when sanc
tioned by tho head of the Government will
not b graut jd by tho piescnt Piullameut
Due proposed remedy however for tho ex
isting troubleseeems to have a much better
chance of application nud that Is no exten
sion to all Ireland of the rights nowguatau
ted by law t tenants in tho piovluco of
Ulster What are the privileges collectively
described as tho Custom of Ulster and
dcscrle Uswr
which at present are enjoyed by only a fa
vored fraction of the Irish population
Ulster held their
Up to 1870 tenant in Uster
land by an ancient tenure without validity
lu law but almost universally recognized
by tho landlords Tho practical result of
tho traditional understanding was that a
tenant was acknowledged to possess a sal
able interest in tho land ho tilled When a
change of occupiers took place tho sale of
the tenants interest was made without a
farthing of expense by a simple entry in tho
landlords books to tho effect that one
farmer had succeeded another with the
landlords consent Under this customwhich
has ben In forco at least two centuries I
tho value of tho tenants interest in the soil I
had como to ho about equal to that of the
owner of the fee that is to say I a cult
vator deshud to lease a farm of which tho
fee simple was computed to be worth 1000
he would have to pay In addition to the
runt duo tho landlord corresponding to In
terest on that sum another thousand dol
lars to tho outgoing tenant This practice I
of which tho Irish bench largely composed
of Conservative Judges had persistently
refused t take judicial cognizance was
formally sanctioned by tho Laud act passed
under tho last GLADSTONE admluistiution
This law distinctly levoguied an Ulster
teuaucy whether yearly or by lease as a
continuing tenure I gave the tenant nn
Interest In his holdlug made up of the Im
provements and tho good will which hence
forth ho hud not merely 0 customary but a
legal right to sell or to transmit by will
No sooner however was tho GLADSTONE
measure passed I than tho Ulster landlords
set themselves to evade it and they have
contrived to abridge In many ways tho ben
efits expected from it
At Hist sight tho Ulster tenant right
might bo regarded as an Iilsh counterpart
of the English copyhold but It differs from
that system in an alllmpoitant point by
notcoufeiriug fixity of teuute at an ascer
tained rent The Land act did not limit in
any effective way the light of landlords lu
Ulster to raise rents at will and It Is clear
enough how this could be used
enouAh privilege coull to
cut down tho selling value of tho tenants
Interest A pertinent lllustiatton is cited In
tho British Quarterly Two years ago it
seems a farmer died leaving a farm which
ho had held from year to year at 15 rent
His intorebt was put up for uilw by the ex
ecutors and 2225 was bid fur It whereupon
the agent of the landloid intervened wllh 0
demand for an additional rout of 50 Of
course the purchaser had at once to i educe
ills oiler and the widow suffered a loss of
925 which tho landlord l practically Jut Into
Ills own pocket A like encioaclimerit on
tho tenants interest is constantly piuctlsod
tho subsistence of the
during tenancy for
tho landloid claims tho right of revaluation
at his own plea ule and he usually chooser
a timo when farming Is prosperous and
pries of pioducohlgh Another method ol
escaping tho operation of tho Ulster tenant
right Is for tho landlord to limit at the
peiiod of sale the valuu of the tenants
Interest to a sum usually much under what
it would bring in the market This Inter
ference Is justified by an alleged wish to
save tho new tenant from impovoilshlug
himself at tho beginning of his occupancy j
but of course tho ical object is to cxtiact 1
higher rent fiom him by leduclug thl
amount payable to his pifdeeestor Uu
luckily thebu tricks and evasions cannot bo
prevented by the courts because tho framets
of the Land act Incautiously legulbed not
tho Ubnge but tho utagou of Ulster
and it has been easy to blmw that the In
fringeincnts mentioned havn IHCII practise
hell and them by uibltrary landlords
Tliosn vln i desire an extension of the
Ulster custom to tho rust of Ireland niu nut

tho piosoiit session of Paillamcntn bill his
been Introduced by five Ltbutnl members of
Ulster constituencies providing that an
official valuation should bo attached to tho
land court for tho Bpecllic purpose of ect
tllug tents and tlxlng them for the poilod of
seven years tit the end of which time either
landlord or tenant may demand a readjust
ment Some such nionsmo will probably bo
carried ant the Ulster teuant light thus
foitilled will become a precious pihllegu
Norls thelo any leason why this custom
which recognizes tho tenants Inteiost
should not ba extended to other provinces
since overyu hero It could bo justllled by one
and the game argument namely that all
Improvements on Iiish holdings Imvo pro

tenant I was In fact avowed by Liberal
statesmen ten years ago that tho GLAD

establishment of tho Ulster tenant right In
all part of Ireland
A Creditnble Showing for Harvard
I Is gratifying to find that the lumber
of young men who aro entering our colleges
of the highest grade II annually Increas
ing for within recent years the stand trds
of admission have bon much raised and
tho examinations of applicants havo been
fur more severe than In tho past Tho
freshman class which entered Harvard last
car for Instance was the largest ever
known In the history of tho college but tho
ncomlng class will bo oven larger At tho
Juno entrance examinations 217 young men
were admitted to the college j and this nuin
blr > will 0 inci eased by thoso who stand
tho tost of tho autumn examinations which
bin on the 29tli of September
This Increasing deslro t take advantage
of the educational facilities offered by llar
ard manifests itself at a time when tho
ollcgo is adopting new methods which Imvo
been pretty sharply criticised Attempts
IHVO also been made to prejudice people of
onsorvativa religious vlowa against this
great uuiveisity Yet the son of men of
rthodox faith aro scut t Harvard the games
as over The lessening of tho restraints of
choolboy discipline has been err malkcd
there for a dozen years and oldfashioned
ollego professors havo shaken their heads
at the innovation Still the classes go on

It will begin tho collegiato year next Oct

icr somewhere toward three hundred and
the total I number of student In all Its de
partments will bo abovo 1400 probably
But tho moro valuable anil satisfactory
cst of the methods of education pursued at
larvard is furnished by the actual accom
illshment of tho young men under instruc
tou How are tho students doing and vv hat
aro they doing under tho system of elective
studies ali partially voluntary lecltntlons I
In vogue there 7 Tho theory k that a young
man Is better trained and stimulated to
more prolltablo study by adapting the
eourbO he shall take to Ills special tastes
ant talents than by forcing him t follow u
routine established alike for all How dos
the theory actually work
We are able t Judge of tho success of this
system by examining what Is known lS tho
rank list in thc three upper classes at Har
vard for the past year To obtain a diploma
the students are required to get only 40 per
cent of the highest lark given in any of
heir elective studies and only 3J1 per cent
In their prescribed studies provided they
attain an average mark of 5 per cent for
ho four ers course That Is what they
uust do to graduate but what the greater
part of them really do is shown by the rank
1st which contains only tho names of those
who won 70 per cent or moio in some
studies On tills list for the past year aro
2100 names representing 475 students for
tho same student olten appears as tlm win
ner ot high marks In several dlffci I cut studies
There weio 503 students lu these tlneo
classes and about livesixths of tho whole
number thuiefoie attained 70 per cent or
moiuof tho maximum murk given In bomo
ot their studies This oeituinly indicates
that the young men at Hamad aro taking
an eat nest Intel est In at least u part of tho
branches of knowledge which they havo
chosen to pursue under tho elective system
And tho number of namos iepoitoil on tho
rank list shows that tho most of them alI

A Woman With 1 Jealous Husband i

That Chamber will not long

a mater of doubt are tha remarkably plain
words which recently appeared In a London
weekly I edited by a member of tho luwor
louse Tho paragraph continues With tho
exception of about twenty or thirty peers tho
entire body Is In antagonism with tho political
views entertained by tho majority of English
men Thin prophecy was ovoked by thn re
fusal of tho Houso of Lords to pass tho Irish
Dlntiirbanca bill the prlnclplo of which was
that tho tenant should bA compensated for tho
eviction which usually follows hfu refusal to
pay the rent For thU disinclination of land
lords to give up tho control of thulr own es
tates tho peers aro llkoned to u trades union of
tho worst description To romedy this dread
ful tyranny a member of tha lowor Houso has
given notice ot a motion to render all sons and
heirs of peers Ineligible for seats In tho House
of Commons This would seem to point to 1
reform In tho HOUBO ot Commons rather than
In the House ot Lords But as thero seems to
bo no reason why I the constituencies want
the son of I peer a their representative In
Parliament they should not ba permitted to
aloet him It Is not probable tlmt tho member
will train much by his motion Moreover as
Mr Gilbert has that with all
lr Olbert hl pointed out to us Ihlt al
tholr faults an Englishman loves his House
of Poor I Is not probable that n bill for tho
abolition of tho House ot Lords will moot with
an enthusiastic reception until tho day comes
whan thn British Constitution Is so utterly de
stroyed that there Is no further need ot a sov
ereign or a House of Commons

It has always been supposed that tho flag o

and that rather than suffer it to fall Into tho
