THE LAW AGAINST LAND.

The best answer that can be given to the assertion of Land Nationalists that tho possession of freehold is only foolish sentiment is to be found in tho fact that peoplo will commit perjury, make false declarations, and otherwise render themselves liable to a fine and imprisonment in order to get hold of a piece of land that they can call their own, The best thing thing that can happen to New Zea. land will be in tho result of the wholesale prosecution nf settlers of a district for evasion of tho Land Act, When Bcores of families are rendered homoless and penniles, when scores of hardworking breadwinners aro wasting their lives in prison because thoy have infringed the provisions of tyrant ll'Keazie's law ; when the whole country is languishing for the want of oourageous settlors, and raambypamby assoohtions of the teototal-Ohristian-purily persuasion of town-bred-soft-handed unionists have mopped up the land in quarter acre sections, then the colony, such as is left of it, will rise up in its wrath and pitch "Liberalism"- to Hades.— Napier Telegraph.
