      An exhausted question ! Yes , the story of Irish landlord and columns heart tenant . has What of been valuable use told for a leading thousand to journals its times , to and devote discussion we all columns know ? What it upon "by use to repeat over and space over again weary the same ing old truisms ? There it isthe one great crying scandal of the day . The bullying

      heartless , , grasping master on the one side ; on the other , the , wronged , defiant , murder-minded serf . The one turns his creature out of house and home ; the other sends his persecutor lord to his ! account happy tenant : brutality ! answered by blood ! Happy

In short , a class , a great and influential class , of Englishmen are either for letting the land question alone altogether , or for approaching it in such a selfish , one-sided , and ungenerous spirit that their remedies would be more fatal even , than their inaction .
