E. Island have lost their proportion of $700,000 to $800,000. which the Government have thrown away. Mr. William Welsh is discreetly siient.—Si. John Watchman.

The Pairiot quibbles about Mr. Pope's promieo tu usé his influence to secure for this Province a voice in the Councils of the Dominion. Whatever words Mr, Pope may use, there can be no mistaking bis meaning. He means to secure for this Provinee, if pos- sible, a representative in the Dominion Cabi- net, one, also, who wi!l not be a mere figure- head like Mr. Laird, whom the Government will be only too glad to get rid of on the first opportunity offering, but who will stand firm and maintain the iuterest of this Province at ali hazards. With regard to Mr. Pope’s abilities and capacity for legislative busi- ness they require no recommendation at our hands. Mr. Pope is one of the first business men of our Province, In bim are represent- ed the interests of ihe merchant, the farmer, tbe manufacturer, and the citizen. The ine terest he takes in agricullure may be judged by the fact that at the Jate General Exhibi- tion be carried off more prizes than any two or three other competitors combined. He has done more to develope and extend the resources of the country than all the Grit sharks from tbe North Cape to the East Point, and it will be an act of the basest in- gratitude on the part of the people of this Island, if Mr. Pope be not elected this time.

The Arctic whaling Ueet has met with a terrible disaster. Twelve vessels were crush- ed in the ice, and several lives were lost. Great suffering was experienced by the sur- vivors, The loss on New Bedford vessels is

haif a million doilars,

Tue Porte has at length accepted the

armistice, for two *nonths, dating from the Istinstant. Orders have been issued for the immediate cessation of hostilities, and Russia is taking steps to press forward an arrangement of all the pending Questions, the English proposals being taken as the basis for the negotiations.

The French are usually esteemeda gay and light hearted people, but suicide nevers theless,continues alarmingly on the increase in France. According to statistics for 1874, just laid before the President, the number

twelve months rose to 5,617, equal to sixteen per day. Hanging was the favourite mode of shuffling off the mortal coil, but a respect~ able number prefer drowning.

Africa is to be spanned by the telegraph —at least that is a late proposal by people who want to undertake difficult contracts. At present the telegraph line runs for eleven hundred miles from Alexandria to Khartoum, and surveys have been made previous to extending it to Gondokoro. The southern telegraph lines ends at Dela- gon Bay, and the distance between this point and Khartoum 1s 2,600. No very great difficulty is anticipated In carrying the line over that stretch of territory, and keeping it in working order once it 1s con~ structed.

The population of Constantinople with its suburbs is estimated at the present time to number *00.000. The Roumalian rails road connects the city with the northern provinces, passing through a wonderfully rich but wretchedly cultivated country, and before long there will be a more direct rails | road communication with Europe by a line meeting the Ruschuk Varna railroad, iol | crossing the Dant-be at Gurgievo to join the terminus of the Roumanian trunk line. Pera, thanks to frequent fires and foreign residents, bids fair to blossom into a pleas- ant place for a Christian to dwell in, Two} thirds of it was burnt in 1870, when 3,000 houses, including the British embassy, were destroyed. It is not being rebuilt on the former site, but a large town is arising around the spot where the old town stood, and about Galata, covering 2 wide area. A very important Christian city is probably destined to grow up here, under the aun spices of the embassies which cluster on Pera’s heights.

Under the head of ‘A Turkish Census,’ the Londen /imes recently gave several e3- timates of the population of the Sultan's dominions in Europe. None of these agree; some of them diiler widely. There has never been an official census in Turkey, and conse- quently the opinions quoted are mainly con- jectura}. Thet which meets with most favor, however, ‘s the statement of Herr Jakschilj, who sets the area of Turkey in Europe at 138,264 English miles,and the population at} 3,314,990 souls. The average density of the | population of the whole Ottoman Empire is | cnly 20 to the square mile, so that, accord-| ing to these stalistics, European Turkey has a population three limes as uense as that of | the Sulian’s dominions entire, Of this eight millions and a qucrter, not more than a quarter of a million are said to be true Os- manli, and religion divides the remainder in the proportion cf about three Mohammedans to four Christians, tne former representing

Hon. Mr. Havitann, having been loudly called for by the audience, took the plat- form and said that he would speak at a con- siderable disadvantage this evening as he had, since Monday last, assisted Mr. Pope at no less than five public meetings in the southern part of the country, and felt cons siderably fatigued. He had not heard Mr. Pope’s speech this evening, having been engaged till late in business connected with the city,and he was, therefore in ignorance as to the points touched upon by that gentles man. ie (Mr. H.) was here this evening to GIVE A REASON FOR THE POLITICAL FAITH THAT

Was IN HIM. He was now what he always was—a Liberals Conservative —-and was opposed to the present Mackenzie Government, He had been asked by bis political opponents to run for this election, but had refused. He had received a notification to attend a meeting in the Legislative Courcil Chamber, the object of which was, he was informed, to inquire into the state of our political Denmark. He attended that meeting and found sixteen Liberals, all in their places, but only three er four Liberal~Conserva~ tives, He was offered, by Mr. W. D. Stewart, the nomination for the vacant seat. That offer was prefaced with some remarks to the effect that it was well known he (Mr. H.) was a free trader, and that there

The old batile on the School Question had been fought and was all over. Dominion politics had nothing whatever to do with local politics. To allow one to interfere with the Other was to injure the party with which one is connected. It was all very well to have the Press in one’s favor; but it would not do to be dictated to by the Press. fe knew what it was to have the Press in his favor one day and against him the next The only popularity he wanted was that which would follow him constantly, upon a fixed principle. He did not want support that would be given one day and withdrawn the next. The course pursued by the Fatriot during the past six weeks was an example of that kind. NO ONE

could be more popular with that paper than he was, six weeks ago, and to-day he was accused of supporting the greatest cor- ruptionists in the country.

IF ANY MAN WAS INCONSISTENT, it was the candidate supported by the Pa/- riot—Mr. Welsh, That gentleman, if elect- ed, intended to support Mr, McKenzie, the great champion of denominational schools,

introduced the eleventh section of the North | West Act. Mr. Welsh endeavored to take all blame, in connection with that matter, | off the shoulders of the Government, by

stating in his Card that the clause in ques-

tion was introduced by an independent

member. This statement was altogether

incorrect. Whoever was behind the desk

of that gentleman when he penned his Card,

misinformed him. No independent mem-

ber penned that clause. It was moved by

Mr. McKenzie himself. The passage of

that Bill was an interference with the rights of the Provinces. Every Province in the Dominion, under the British North Ameri- can Act, had the power to establish its own school system, without any interference on the part of the General Government.
