HicgHtanp Le Lato cables state that a series of meetings have been held, of the Highland Land League, to consider the condition and grievances of the crofters. At these meet- ings emigration was generally disapproved. The crofters dv not want cto Jeave their native heath, but to be allowed to cultivate it; and, as they have been run down to poverty by the oppression of their land- lords, they ask the assistance of the gov- ernment in improving and stocking the land, and putting them in the way of mak- ing their living in their old homes.

Resources or Ataska.—Alaska turns out to be by no means a barren acquisition to the United States. Governor Swine- ford’s report shows that it is well worth the money that was paid for it. Last year it sent to market $2,500,000 worth of furs, $3,000,000 worth of fish, $100,000 worth of lumber, and gold to the value of $1,350,- 000; in all $6,950,000. ‘This is not a bad beginning, and it is believed that the mines and the fisheries of Alaska are capable of develupment to an indefinite extent. <The population, Indian, half-breed and Ameri- can, is estimated io be about 10,000. They are are already agitating for home rule.

Frencw Interests.—It is said that a naval force has been organized at Cher- bourg for the protection of the French in- terests on the Banks of Newfoundland. This is all right of course, but it does not seem very clear what interests they have to protect, or what they are to protect their interests against. The London correspon- dent of the Toronto Mail regards it as significant of the determination of the French Government to disregard the pro- visions of the Newfoundland bait bill. But what could a naval force do towards making the Newfoundlanders sell them or give them bait, except by committing acts which would be a beginning of war with Great Britain / There may not be much love be- tween the two countries, but it is hardly likely they will just now come to blows and blood over a Newfoundland herring. France has enough to occupy her attention

A group of ultra radical members of Parliament is communicating with the Parnellite members, with the object of concerting obstructive tactics. Large contingents of Parnellites will join the group, refusing to adhere to the Gladetone- Parnell policy of non-obstruction.

Self-Help.
(Montreal Daily Star. )
Self reliance is a virtue in a community as well as in an individual. The man who has’ nv confidence in himself, who is always wait- ing for some one to advise him and help him, will never develop the,strength that is in him. He will always remain a pour and a depend- ent creature. In the same way a community- which expects Government to give it every thing it needs without its making any exer- tion to help itself will never know what its resources are, much less make the most vf them. If a commanity wishes to progress and to make the most of its opportunities its members must bestir themselves and do their part before Government can be prevailed upon to do its share of the work, It is said that Providence helps those who help themselves, and this is emphatically true of Governments of all kinds. The more independent a community is of Government the more? degir- ous it will be to give it the assistance it requires,
