Biditorial Notes.

—The great question of fuel for the Northwest has at leneth been solved hy the discovery of coal fields in that region which are said to be illimitable. The coal! itself of a brilliavt black color contains gas, aud burns readily and rapidly. The finding of coal in the Northwest is a most important discovery, for as that country is chiefly composed of vast prairie land, aud timber

is

considerable

being searee, great expense was incurred by settlers to import this commodity.

—As to the hitch in the negotia- tions respecting Irish Emigration, the Toronto Globe has the following specia! cable despatch from London, dated ¢st August :—

** In the House of Lords last night, Lord Emly asked whether the Government had

arrived at any decision respecting the irish emigration scheme proposed by Mr. | George Stephen. Lord Derby stated that;

the Government assented to the principle of the scheme, but required the Canadian Government to assume the responsibility of the loan advanced by the Imperial Treasury. This the Dominion declined to undertake, but the negotiatior, were not abandoned.”

—Canadian farmers and cattle breed- ers ought to be largely interested in every reference to the live cattle trade occurring in the Imperial Parliament. The nnanimous voice upon Mr. Chaplin’s motion last week ‘for the prohibition of the importation of cattle from countries where satisfactory regulations for the prevention and extirpation of disease are not in force, indicates the feeling which prevails among British agriculturists on this subject. Any restrtction, therefore, placed upon imports from other coun- tries will in reality, so long as her trade is untouched, make Canada a_ gainer.

—In our telograms a few days ago, Mr. Parnell, referring to Carey’s murder is reported as saying that ‘the Irish should rejoice that the justice denied by | the Government had at last been accom- |

plished.” The statement, however, was subsequently reported to be a hoax Mr. Parnell indignantly denies the

uttering of the atrocious language which has been so unfairly attributed to him. At the time of the Phoenix Park mur- ders Mr. Parnell repudiated any smypa- thy with the murderers, but reprobated the crime as a blow to the best interests of the Irish cause. It is hardly likely | that oue who expressed himself so strongly, at the time of the murders, agaivst the assassins that committed them, would rejoice because of the death of him who brought these murderers to justice.

—Though what may be called the aristocrats of religion have lest no oppor- tunity in condemning and injuring, as much as possible, the Salvation Aimy, still it admitted, by such papers as the Toronto Mai/, that since the Army be- came established in Canada they have succeeded in doiag a vast amount of good. In Toronto it has taken from the streets, and made respectable men and women of those who, before their enlist- ment, were probably the worst characters in that city. And notwithstanding that, in Kingston, the beat of their drums on the Sabbath day grated harshly on the ears of numbers of refined Christians whose privilege it is, when they go to worship, to hear play the best organs by the best musicians, still the honest ver- dict regarding the working of the Army there is, that it accomplished great re- forms.

Of all the sad words of tongue and pen,

The saddest are ‘‘1t might have been.”’

—Reading between the lines of an article in yesterday's Patriot, we have an explanation of the mystery of the tone of ever regretful melancholy which pervades that journal. “The Hon. David Laird “might have been’—nay ‘ought to have been’’—dubbed “Sir Knight.” Distinguished public services, such as those he rendered Belfast in connection with the Railway and the Province in carrying out the ‘‘Dashaway Policy” and in undertaking the ‘‘midnight dele- gation”; ever memorable services, such as those he rendered the Dominion “‘in the historic act of casting the blue book from him,” in accepting a portfolio from McKenzie and Blake and assisting them to “elevate the standard of Public Morality with lots of money,” at the rate of $7,000 a year, in sacrificing the interests of his constituents and even his own iaterests while he “made order out of chaos” in the great Northwest and “appeased the Iodians,” and in coming down to P. E. Island again at a cost to the country of about $1,500 to stand at the helm of affairs in his “own dear native land” and run a daily newspaper here—services such as these should cer- tainly have gained for Mr. Laird ad- mission to the Kuightly Circle! Besides, how well **Sir David’ would have sounded!» Liow becoming “the order of merit” to his manly breast!! How appropriately too, the name would have accorded with that of the redoubtable “mixer and muddler, Sir Richard.” Two souls with but asingle thought, (and

that of self),

Two hearts that beat as one.” But one only bears the knightly order ! No wonder the Patriot weeps. We sympathize with the Patriot; we mourn with Mr. Laird. But “while there’s life there's hope.” Mr. Laird should re- metaber the words of Booth when he

ay

shot President Liacola; he should not aVanddy boye till be rewcies the frowning

portals beyond “the night’s Plutonian

Shore,’’

“True hope is swilt, and flies with swallows widys;

Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.”

Carey’s Escape Impossible.

Felix Lynch, a naive of Rochester and one of the order of Invincibles, made re- cently some remarkatile statements relative to the murder of the Informer Carey. He said it was planned to kill the villain, no matter which.way he went for his photo- graphs were sent from Dublin all over the world. His escape from the avenger was impossible. We received a picture of him here six weeks ago, and were informed in a secret manner that he would probably land at Quebec from the Allan steamer ‘‘City of Montreal.” I went to Quebec, and was there when the steamer arrived !”

‘*Were there any representatives of other branches there at the same time !”

‘‘No, not one. There is a branch of the organization in Quebec, but it was not the business of any of the members to be at the dock.”

‘‘Am I to understand then that if Carey had landed there you would have done ©’ Dennell’s work?” ‘*Yes, f would; though | suppose I ought not to say so now. I was on the dock by the gangway and looked over the passengers as they landed. I would have known Carey in a minute. I had his photograph in my possession then, and still have it; but Carey did not arrive, and I came back home. I was somewhat disappointed that I did not get a chance to give the betrayer his deserts. I was con- fident, however, that the work would be done by somebody else sooner or later. I knew the plan was too well arranged to fall through.”

“Do you know O’Donnell?’ Only by reputation. He is a member of the New York branch of the Order of Hibernians, and a leader. I think he is about thirty- five years old. He is one of the Invin- cibles.”

‘*And are you one of the Invincibles.” ‘** Yes, I am, and it is the organization to be thanked for the shooting of this scound- rel, Carey. The Invincibles are a much stricter and closer order than the Hiber- nians. The church sometimes recognizes the order of Hibernians, but the Invincibles are excluded. When O'Donnell did the shooting he did it under orders from the Invincibles, and the object which the or- ganization has been seeking was finally accomplished. -1 might as well say that the Marquis of Landsdowne has not long to live.”

Aquatic.

The Toronto Mail's London cable says: ‘‘Hanlan’s uninterrupted series of success in America seem to have stirred up the Australians to make another attempt to lower the colors of the invincible Canadian and a defiance has been received here by cable from Melbourne. The dispatch authorizes the London ‘‘Spor!smen’” to pub- lish a challenge to Hanlan from E. C. Lay- cock to row a single scu)l race on the Para- maita river for the sum of $10,000 or $5,000 a side and the championship of the world. No distance and date is specified, these de- tails being left until Hanlan is heard from. The Paramatta is named by Laycock be- cause it is understood that Hanlan will not have any objection to visiting Australia. He has repeatedly comtemplated going there, otherwise Laycock would probable have been willing to row on the Thames, or, possibly, go to America. He is anxious to have ove more raco with the Canadian before civing up hopes of beating him, and and he believes that Manlan will he glad of the chance to visit Australia. Laycock is generally admitted there to be the beat man they have, though his performances of late have been of a suspicious nature. The ‘ Sportsman” will forward the chalienge to Haulan in due form, and the latter's de- cision will be awaited with intevest. Of vours’ none will question his right to de-

Tae New Parent Orrice. — Henry Coombs, Esq., writes as follows to the Toronto Mau, regarding the proposed Patent Office at Ottawa :—In view of the contemplated erection of a new building for Patent Office department at Ottawa, some remarks from an outsider, say an inventor, might be in order. During the past few years the business of the Patent Office has greatly increased, so much so that the net profits is said to be over $30,000 in excess of the operating expenses. Unfortu- nately the patents taken out are largely owned by citizens of the United States, as heretofore, there has been but little encouragement for native ingenuity, The Patent Office model-rooms at Ottawa are now located on the third floor of the building, and for want of room and ar- rangements are stacked in the cases. It seems a& pity to have so many valuable models hidden out of ‘sight in view of the growth of the Dominion in industrial art. Permit me to suggest that at least ten times the existing extent of floor space in the new building be devoted to the display of models. This can be accom- plished by erecting either a larger or higher building than the one contemplated, using the ground floor for offices and the upper floors for the display of models. A five or six storey building could be reached easily by large elevators, and properly arranged and lighted, such a display could be made one of the sights of the capital, and operate as an incentive to the development of home talent.

THe Marquis or LANDSDOWNE, who is to be our next Governor-General, will be interested to learn that some of the Invincibles on this side of the water announce their intention of assassinating him. Such statements might, a year or two ago,have been treated as harmless boasting; but in view of what has occurred recently, it is not unlikely that some one may be found insane enough to carry out the threat. It will, therefore, be necessary for the Government to take proper precautions for the new Governor-General’s safety, when he arrives in Canada, so that the disgrace of such an attempt being made on the soil of Canada may be prevented—Montreal Herald.
