‘Bot what has THe Examiner to say against Sir John Maedonald, who, for the last two sessions, had a bill before Parlia ment which, if would have “wrung tromthe bulk of our young mea their present elecioral rights. the Government at Ottawa were concerne their policy of robbing our young wen of their votes was clearly indicated.’ — Patriot,

a. Passe u,
Pur Examiner has to say that this is not true. Franchise would not, if passed, have wrung from the bulk of our young men their present electoral rights. There is ia the country districts j young man who, under it, would lose his right to vote A larger proportion of young men in the towns will be aftectel by it; but we are uot without hope that before the Bill becomes law our representatives will have caused a specia! provision to be inserted in it that all who now pos sess franchise rights shall hold them, and may if the choose have their uames entered lists,
Sir John Macdovald’s Franchise Bill is a truly liberal measure, which is, no doubt, the reason why the Liberals (falsely so called) dislike it. It widens
Sir John's
} scarcely a
the franchise in Ontario, in Quebec, in| Brunswick, |
Nova Scotia, and in New aod but very slightly restricts it in Mani toba, British Columbia, and this Island. In other words, it gives a treer franchise to about four-fifths of the present popula- tion. The great objection the Quebec members have to it is said gives the right to vote to those who ought not to bays it.
By the way, it is significant (isn't it?) that the Patriot is unable to name a single right which the Tory leaders have wruog from the people !

Mr. W. Lester Kane, representative of h:well-xnown firm of T. & E. Kenny, Halifax, had an eventful journey on Sun- | day, Ist inst., crossing from Cape Tormen- tine to Cape Traverse. [on company with the | couriers, a family named Clow, ard an other passenger named McNeill, he spent a laborious day in the gulf, and after a tire some passage landed at Seven Mile Bay, tle rested at a farm house during the night. In the morning he and his fellow passengers were startled to find that the baggage which they left on the ice the previous night had disappeared. ‘Fo a representative of THe Examiner Mr. Kane told the following story
We left Cape Tormentine at half-pas* morning last. The beat was in command of Capt. Warren Allen; the passengers were Charles Clow, wife and four stall children; Arthur MeNeill and Everything went well until we were about half way across, when it was noticed that we were not making any pro- gress in the direction of our destination
ten on Sunday
appeared to be as far away as ever. We continued in this way until almost sun- down. Just before complete darkness set in we sighted board ice, before reaching which we were compelled to pass through about a quarter mile of lolly. Conmplete darkness had now set in. The board ice upon which we had just landed ran along the coast for the distance of a mile and ex- tended about thirty yards in an inland
tea, One of two courses was open to us—
ourselves or leave it in the boat all night. Both captain and crew assured as that the latter course was best; that our trunks were perfectly safe in the boat. Relying upon these assertions, and all hands being
small of the boat
valises out gage, upto what was considered a secure position among the ‘‘clumpets.”” We then started for shore, which was about two miles distant, each man carrying his own valise, The ice being terribly rough and the night very dark it was with great difti- culty we reached the shore—about seven miles west of Cape Traverse—at a place Shortly after landing Capt. Allan procured a team and drove the exhausted passengers to the nearest house (Cyprian Macdonald’s), where we were well taken care of until morning. Next morning the crew started out to look and trunks, which we had left in au apparently secure position at dark the previous evening. After about an hours search, the report was made that the boat and its contents bad mysteriously dis- appeared. The feelings of the passengers,on receipt of this news, can be better imagined than described. On Monday afternoon the passengers were driven to Cape Traverse by Mr. Macdonald. Enquiry there that even- ing failed to elicit any information concern-
gage. On Tuesday afternoon, however, the missing boat was found eff Carleton Point, about half a mile from edge of board
had disappeared. How our luggage could have become separated from the boat is to me a mystery. Asa result i am out two trunks of samples, worth $300; Mir. Clow lost trunks containing clothing of
lost trunks containing clothing and all his money, he having, previous to leaving Cape Tormentine, put the latter in his ¢runk for safe-keeping. Messrs. Clow and MeNeill were coming to the Island on a visit to friends, and of course had all portable effects with them.
mitted by or ou behalf of Irishmen, they | are suspicious of the whole race, and) therefore “boycott” them. It is certainly too bad that the innocent should suffer with the guilty ; but the English people, | terrified and maddened by the pres-| ence of an instant daoger which they | canuot meet and cope with,are not in a | calm or strictly reasonable mood, and | consequently thousands of good Irish | clerks and tradesmeu have to suffer while | the few vagabond criminals to whom the | explosions are due, go free.
Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, a leading politician in the United States, speaking | at a banquet in honor of the newly elected Irish Mayor of New York, gave expression to this sentiment :
‘| have always loved Ireland and true {rishmen and have many atime raised up my voice in behalf of making Ireland a na- tion, and I feel that this atrocious deed (the | London outrage)has postponed her nation- | ality for many years, and the man who was | the guilty actor in that crime against Eng- land, against Ireland and against humanity has won for himself and his confreres the! execration of all mankind.’
Agaiu, referring to the dynamiters, the New York Times, one of the ablest journals in the United States, a few days ago remarked :
‘** Not only the nation but every state
barism irom American soil, and the publie sentiment of the country ought to be potent encugh to make the business of these agitators unprofitable. Decent Irishmen ought to be aware that these men are the worst enemies of Ireland, and they should condemn in unmistakeable terms the methods which they pursue. They could do more, perhaps, than any other agency to put anend to the wicked machinations of those who are bringing disgrace and defeat upon all eforts to redress the wrongs of Ireland.”
Had remarks like these — remarks which are true and just—been made at the right time,Mr. Parnell by and others whose daty it is to speak for the Irish people, it is not at all likely that English people wonld now be discharging the io- nocent Lrishmen, who have been in their employment. By so speaking, Mr. Parnell would not, as he pleads, have tacitiy admitted the justice of the English people's suspicivous—ie would have re-
tance to the farming community. These institutes have excited much interest, have been largely attended and appear likely to prove of considerable service to the great industry for the benefit of which the were devised.
Davitt’s Opinion
The dynamite occurrences continue to absorb all attention in London. The Pall Mall Gazette of a recent date devotes two pages of woodcuts to the devastation in the House of Commons and at the Tower. The Pall Mall Gazette is the only paper that rather belittles the significance of the disas- ters in a leading article headed ‘The Scare,’ and grows curiosly comie over the other papers, especially at the Times’ onslaught on Mr. Parnell. The same paper interviews Michael Davitt, who, in the course of a long talk, ssid: ‘Few, if any people in reland syupathize with this method of in- juring the Irish cause, and the number of the dynamiters in America is not so formid- able as people may suppose.’ Mr. Davitt then invites attention to the dynamite do- ings in London, which are such as to alarm and not kill, and urges some conceasion to Ireland. ‘Mr. Varnell, with all his in- fluence,’ adds Mr. Davitt, ‘is utterly powerless before a weapon like dyna- mite ia the hands of men who respect, but pity, his attempts to falsify the teach: ings of the last 84 years; aye, of men who
| Stake their lives in carrying out their des- should do its part to exterminate this bar.- |
perate line of action. Dynamiters consist of two classes—thore who are convinced that itis impossible to persuade English
statesmen of the reality of Irish grievances by lezal methods, and those who have suflercd for the Irish cause and their rela- tivies and friends” Mr. Davitt said ex- perience had show nthat agitations were without results, while movements borrowing on revolt produced different results, He al- Jeged that it was impossible for Rossa to forget the degrading insults received while in an Evglish prison. Davitt made the charge that the secret police were fostering the outrages through their agents, such as McDermo't. They would find their ocen- pation gone unless the scare was kept alive. He said he believed the present outrages were precursors «f more desperate ard reckleas ones in the near future, In con- clusion, Mr. Davitt said : ‘England can deal a most effective blow to tha dynamit- ers by showing them that the mainsprings of Irish discontent—Dublin Castle and landlordism-—shall not continue to be Eng.
land’s only expression of good will toward Ireland.’
Mr. Kane left for Halifax last evening.
