Not the least cheering feature of the Government returns is the buoyancy of the revenue, which, for the first four months of the financial year, shows a surplus of over three millions. Here are the figures : . 812,949,053

Tue orator of the Aurora speech thinks the “drift” has been adverse to Imperial Federation, and has ** given up the idea.’’ Mr. Blake is a sick man. A healthy intel- lect would see much in the trend of events which is favorable to the development of a British Federation. On the one hand, the United States and other foreign nations have systematically carried out a hostile trade policy, forcing Canada and othér great colonies of the Empire to adopt

the inhabitants of the Mother Country have been and are actually suffering ruin for want of the

trade of which they have been deprived on account of the working out of these poli- cies of hostility and defence ; and they are

not—if we may judge by the statements of their representative men—disinclined to regard with favor «a measure which caunot injure their trade with foreign

The policy of the Governmeat of Canada has opened up twe millions of square miles, comprising the best wheat lands in the world, and furnished an unfailing source of food supply to the artisans and trades-people of the Mother Country; and it has furnished a trans- continental railway, affording means of communication with the most distant parts of the Empire. Canada has, in the past years, performed a gigantic work towards rendering the people of the Mother Country independent of foreign nations in respect to food and intercommunication. in India, Australia, New Zealand and other Colonies # similar work has been done If « coctor in London may iustantanous- ly consult with and prescribe for a patient lying ill at Victoria, the statesmen of the Mother Coantry and the colonies may now, in the same way, consult with one another, and prescribe measures for the defence and

As it happened, Ltaly was at peace with all the world, and the stream of pilgrims flowed on without inter- mission. But supposing Italy had been at war with two or three powers at once, would the welcome extended to their sub- jects have been equally cordial? And if not what would the Pope’s nominal sovereign- ity inside the Vatican have availed him?! His palace is surrounded by Italian terri

tory, and his communications with his spiricual children throughout the world are necessarily at the mercy of the Italian That Government may have no present wish to interfere with them, but where is the assurance that such «a wish will not arise in the future’ In France, under Marshal MacMahon, the Republ can Government seemed as secure against Kad- ical excesses as the Royal Government under King Humbert; yet the Republic has ste idily become more Radic: : and every stage in the process has been marked by afresh attack upon religion. What, the Pope may fairly ask himself, is to pre- vent politics in ltaly from ruaning 4 simuar course! Certainly not the Law of Guaran- tees. That is rated for just so long a tine as Parliament leaves it unrepealed. It has no special character over and above that of an ordinary law. There is in it nothing organic or constitutional; it is simply an Act of the Legislature, and what the Legis- lature has done the Legislature may undo. =. ¢

To judge by the temper displayed in the new Penal Code, the principal merit in the Law of Guarantees, in the eyes of the Par- liamentary majority, is that in fact 1t guar- antees acthing. if there had been any disposition to respect the Pope's position, aud to make his sovereignty as much of a reality as is consistent with its limitation to a Single palace, mere expressions of opin- ion in favor of the Temporal Power would have been visited with no penalty. The Penal Code has been modified in its pas- sage through the Senate, but even in its present form it makes a priest who main- tains from the pulpit the right of the Pope to Rome, liable tu three years’ imprison ment, to a heavy fine, and to perpetual suspension from his benefice. The Italian clergy are thus challenged tou make their choice between the Pope and the State, or, as they will hold, between God and Cesar. The strain of a situation in which on one side of the Tiber the Pope will be summon- ing the Roman Catholic world to support his claims to at least a fraction of his torm- er rights, while on the other hand the clergy who obey his cali will be punished in purse, in person and in office, will be immense. According to the Roman cor- respondent of the London Times, ‘* it will soon appear that without the Supreme Power the Pope will not remain in Rome.” Doubtiess his departure might have conse- quences of extraordinary moment, but it would also be attended by extraordinary risks.

** Hear, Hear!” is a Seriptural phrase. It occurs in 2 Samuel xx 16: ‘* Then cried & wise woman out of the city: Hear, hear!” Lord Macaulay gives the follow- ing account of the rise of the exclamation in English usage: *‘The King, therefore, on the fifth day after he had been proclaim- ed, went with the royal state to the House of Lords, and took his seat on the throne. The Commons were called in, and he, with many gracious expressions, reminded his hearers of the perilous situation of the country and exhorted them to take such steps as might prevent unnecessary delay in the transaction of public business. His speech was received by the gentlemen who crowded the bar, with the deep hum by which our ancestors were wont to indicate approbation, and which was often heard in places more sacred than the Chamber of the Peers. As soon as he had retired, a bill declaring the Conventi.n or Parlia- ment was laid on the table of the Lords and rapidly passed by them. In the Commons the debates were warm. The House re- solved itself into a Committee and so great was the excitement that, when the author- ity of the speaker was withdrawn, it was hardly possible to preserve order. Sharp persodalities were exchanged. The phrase ** hear him} which had originally been used only to silence irregular nvises, and to re- mind members ofthe duty of attending to the discussion, had, for some years been gradually becoming what it now is ; that is to say, acry indicative according to its tone, of admiration, acquiescence, indigna- tion or derision.”

At the level of the sea, water boils ata temperature of 212°, but as we ascend the boiling point becomes lower. At the Hospice of Mount St. Bernard, on the Alps, which is at an elevation of 8,600 feet above sea level, water boils at something less than 200°. This compels the monks to live almost entirely upon baked, roasted or fried food, as its nutritious qualities cannot be extracted at a lower temperature than 212°. The monks are consequently de- barred from many comforts through not being able to make their boiling water so hot as that of their neighbors in the valley below. At the City of Mexico, the boiling point is 200°; at Quito it is 194; aud on the Donkia Mountains, in the Himalaya range, Dr. Hooper found it 180°.

thing of the past. It this part of Kerry the fight the league was making was at its hottest. The Plan of Campaign was ail powerful. Formerly a writ could be ex- ecuted by the Sheriff with the aid of four p licemen, but now 400 soldiers were re- quired, Sunday after atteuding mass to arrange the week’s programme of rent resistance and intimations of resistance came from well-to- do farmers. Until 18381 the tenants had been friendly, but after the league was formed they scoffed at him and the land- lord. There were 2000 tenants on the Ken- mare estates, two hundred of whom,though very poor, always tried to pay their rents. Since 1850 the Ear] of Kenmare had ex- pended 173,000 pounds in the improvement of the estates. The bill for labor now am ounted to $50 weekly, and only such rent was taken from the poor tenants as they could afford. The witness did not seek to collect rent from persons blue with hunger, and the law was never enforced agaiust tenants of that class. Edward Harrington refuses to pay the fine of $500 which the Court imposed for contempt. He intends to question the right of the commission to enforce it.

McNeill immediately complied with the request, and Morgan went to look after his baggage, promising to return and make good the loan in a few minutes. He did not return, however, and MeNeill is $60 poorer. Mr. McCormick, of the Vic- tria Hotel, when interviewed, denied all knowledge of his would-be nephew.

Personal,

Rev. Cecil Wiggins, of Sackville, is visiting Charlottetown.

Mr. C. R. Casey, the prohibition candidate in Cumberland, has withdrawn from the contest and Mr. E. B. Elderkin has been put up in his place.

Mr. T. 8S. Findlay, for some time past Teller in the Bank of Nova Scotia, Halifax, has left for London to take a responsible position in the Edinburgh Assurance Associa- tion there.

A Quebec despatch to the Montreal Star says Sir Hector Langevin will, it is under- stood, replace Hon. Mr. Pope* as Minister of Railways, when the latter retires, which. it seems, is anticipated, notwithstanding recent statements to the contrary.

Sir John Ross is in Ottawa, the guest of the governor general, It is understood that his visit is in connection with correspondence which, for some time past, has been passing between the Dominion and British Govern- ments regarding the re-organization and strengthening of the defences of the country. General Middleton strongly »dvocates the dis- banding of a Jarge number of the raral infan- try corps and the strengthening of the city battalions. He means that rural battalions cannot be kept in a state of efficiency when their companies are scattered all over the country.

—The Scottish observance of Sunday is not confined to the Protestant portion of the people. The Roman Catholic Church there is also opposed to political meetings and such public demonstrations on Sundays. The Archbishop of St. Andrew’s has called the attention of his clergy, and the ex- ainple will be followed in the other dioceses, to a decree adopted by the Church Council in 1886 forbidding political meet- ings on Sunday in any building under ecclesiastical contro] in Scotland. In con- sequence of this the Edinburgh branch of the National League wil not be allowed in future to meet in a church hall on Sundays.
