OuAKE'S ROSTEN ATION,
‘EXTRACT FROM HIS LETTER.
———- -
Toronto, March 25.
The World of this city publishes in full Mr. Blake’s private and confidential cir- te the Grit members-elect of the House of Commons. The writer urges all to whom the circulars are addressed to be in their places at the opening of Parliament, as there is a domestic matter to be settled. and goes on to Say :
** Under our arrangement my present. rela- tion to the party ends with the opening of Parliament, and it will devolve upon Liberals at once to choose their leader forthe new Parliament. My old colleagues have known my mind so long, that for them it is hardly necessary that Il should speak. Yet it may be for the general convenience that I should now anticipate the possibility that my name may in some quarters be suggested by informing you that, even if [ were honored by election, [ could not attempt further to discharge the duties of office, and that another choice must be made.
‘** 1 am, ** Faithfully yours, ‘* EpWARD BLake.”
Monrrear, March 25. The Liberal leaders of this city confirin the story that Blake has resigned the Leadership, but state that, under pressure from the party, he had reconsidered hs decision, and would lead the party in the next Parliament.

DENOUNCES COERCION
Lonpon, March 25.
In the Commons last night Mr. Glad- stone spoke in opposition to urgency for the Coercion Bill. He showed that there was no agrarian crime in Ireland now, the only prevalent offence being attempts of tenants to obtain a reduction of their im- possible rents. Never before had any former Coercion Act been resisted by a ma- jority of Irish members; now an over- whelining majority were opposed to it. It was, he said, the duty of Liberals now, whether in minovity or majority, to refuse urgency. He trusted the people of Eng- land would see the Liberals reunited in op- posing this ill omened measure to its last stage, and that the Liberal members would ring out the voices of justice and reason against a Government which, after eighty- six years of experience, were preparing under the name of a statute of Parliament, to strike a fresh blow at the life and happi- ness of lreland, and at the prosperity, con- tentment and unity of the Empire.
Mr. Chamberlain condemned the atti- tude of those whe, without knowing the nature of the Bill, refused to give an oppor- tunity to introduce and discuss it.

An Islander Abroad
HE HAS A KIND WORD FOR THE PEOPLE‘ OF DENVER,
We publish below another interesting the letters of an Islander This time he sizes up Denver and This is how he
extract from abroad. its people in good style. does it :—
‘J am Juxuriating now under the Jialian skies of Denver,and investigating the social aud political life of a Rocky Mountain town. Youthful tramps—or travellers, which is the same thing—-who make their maiden trip to Denver, always begin their first letters to folks back East by heading it from Pikes Peak, incidentally making untravelled folks believe that they were sitting astride of that natural monument, and that it was located in the centre of the city, somewhere near the Post Office. Imagine my surprise to be informed a few hours after my arrival that Monsieur le Peak was several miles distant from the Post Office, and that to view it in all its rugged grandeur, would necessitate a rail- road ride of seventy-five miles, and a cash outlay of $6. As Denver has other at- tractions and curiosities which, viewed in the light of cold cash, are not so expensive as this mountain of rock, it is needless to state that I have not yet come within speaking distance of Mr. Pikes Peak. It may be the air and it may be the people, but whatever the cause 1 am free to say that Denver is the most interesting town I have yet visited. 1 am getting to be some- thing of an ‘old stager,’ and most cities and towns appear to me to be all alike, but there is something inthe looks of Denver that commends it to the stranger as_ being something different from other towns. The people appear to be so approachable and affable even to strangers that one used to the frigid cordiality of a down east town speedily becomes aware of the fact that the difference between the Bostonian and the Denverite is the distance between the two poles-—all the world. Here the people don’t seem to be so lost in the pursuit of the mighty dollar as to entirely ignore the amenities of civilized life. They will stop long enough on the street to politely give you any needed information, instead of applying the Boston or Chicago man’s habit of jerking his thumb over his shoul- der when askel where the Post Oifice is. iverybody tries to make everybody else feel at home, and I believe this principle is not lost sight of even in business life and hours. Applicants for work receive polite answers instead of a surly response, and they are made to feel that they are not committing a crime by seeking honest employment. Perhaps the location of the town has had something to do with the formation of this trait in its people. Their early struggles and privations have perhaps served to chrystalize in their minds a féel- ing of manly charity for others not so ‘well heeled’ as themselves. The border-ruftian and the cowboy are unknown quantities in Denver. Their day is over, for this town at least, but they are still toying with the lariat and seven-shooter but in more con- genial quarters. ‘The number of ‘blue noses’ in Denver is appalling. Ihave only met a few hundred from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick but no Islanders. The

© John lags, Bsq., an oid and respected inhabitant,
other day I called on Mr. Chas. McPhee, who visited the Island seven or eight years ago. He is one of the solid Muldoonsof Den- ver. He wasn’t in, sol amused myself walk- ing around his extensive lumber yards and planing mills and mentally calculating how much he is worth and how many thousands Bradstreets rate him at. He is pretty ‘well heeled,’ as the Americans say. There must be a number of Islanders in and around Denver, but I don’t know the addresses of any. My Colorado tour em-
