British Topics. POTTICS AND POLITICIANS—CHURCH DIs-

ESTABLISHMENT AND CHURCH

DEFENCE,

What I said in my last respecting the dis- jestablishment of the Church so far as Wales is concerned, has become a necessary factor in to carry the voting power of the dissenters over to the Liberal section, and Lord Gran- ville has been going it strong in Leeds, advo- vating self-government for Ireland and dis- establishment for Wales. It is not a little curious that ‘‘ the survival of the fittest” in English politics, is always weighted with some sagared pill of iconoclastic design.

Sir Geo. Trevelyan, the Scotch member, is tick ling the liberty loving Scotians with straws of censure, condemning the Irish policy of the Tory Government.

Sir Charles Warren bas been sustained in his law and order course with the Trafalgar Square disturbers of the peace. A cordon of police, backed up by improvised specials, kept perfect order on Sunday, and it seems pretty certain that the cut-throat politicians of the Kastward slums, have discovered what they cannot do as well as what they want to do.

There seems to be a movement on foot very likely to terminate the obstruction dodge in the House of Commons.

I don't know, by the way, if you know that there is an active institution for defending the Church, but there is, and they are after every Church dues for the funds required to sustain the establishment in Wales.

I have nothing new to report on the agri- cultural outlook ; that subject seems to freeze and thaw with the weather, but there can be no doubt about a coming revolution in the re- lation of landlord and tenant. Like the head aud tail ofa tossed up coin, it is pretty diffi- cult to predict which will come uppermost when it reaches the land (question), or which will ‘* bite the dust.”

Gladstone is being talked about now as the “Grand Old Janus.” The two-faced sym- pathizer who smiles on one side on the Bobby of England, and frowns on the other over the ‘* force ” of Ireland.

Let him laugh or let him ery Right will triumph by and by. CAVERSHAM,

The Clerical Conference.

The second meeting of the Clerical Con- ference of the Church of England in this Island, was held in St. Mary’s Church, in Summerside, on Tuesday last. All the clergy were present. At 11 o'clock Matins was said by Rev. W. H. Sampson, rector of Milton, the lessons being read by Rey. Henry Harper, rector of Port Hill, after which the Holy Communion was celebrated by Rev. T. B. Reagh, reetor of Kensington, assisted by Rev. C. F. Lowe, rector of this parish. The altar was properly vested for the Advent season in violet, and natural flowers adorned the table. The choir rend- ered efficient aid in the musical portion of the service. The sermon was preached by the Rev. S. Weston Jones, rector of St. Paul’s, Charlottetown, who took as the sub- ject vf his discourse the following texts:

Withal praying for us, that God would open unto us a door of futterance, to speak the utterance of Christ, for which I am also in bonds. Col. ch. rv. vy. 3.

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel. Eph. ch. vi. v. 19.

After the service all the clergy adjourned to the Clifton House, where they were en- tertained at dinner by the Rector of the parish. At3p. m. the clermcal meeting took place at which the Rev. T. W. John- ston read a paper on ‘‘ The position which the Church in P. E. Island holds financial- ly and ecclesiastically in the Diocese of Nova Scotia.” A discussion followed, and it was resolved to bring before the Synod of the Diocese certain anomalies in connec- tirn with the position of the Church here.

At 7 o'clock p. m., Evensong was said by Rev. C. E. MacKenzie, rector of Alber- ton, the first lesson being read by Rev. 8. Weston-Jones, the second by Rev. James Simpson, incumbent of St. Peier’s Church, Charlottetown. After the service, ad- dresses, interspersed with appropriate hymns, were delivered by the several cler- gymen, to which the congregation gave close attention, the interest being unabated until the termination of the meeting at 10 >. mm.

Rev. T. B. Reagh, of Kensington, took as his subject, ‘‘ The Great Danger of Neg- lecting and the Blessecdness of Receiving the Holy Communion.”

Rev. James Simpson, Priest Incumbent of St. Peter’s Church, Charlottetown, then gave an interesting account of the Church of England mission work in the Muskoka District.

He was followed by. Rev. T. W. John- son, of Crapaud, ina vigorous and forcible address on the great necessity of support- ing the Diocesan Church, Society. ~ Rey. W. H. Sampson, of Milton, next spoke of ‘* Person»! Holiness.”

Rev. Henry Harper, of Port Hill, fol- lowed with an address on the influence of the Christian on the world around him.

Rev. C. E. McKenzie, of Alberton, was the last speaker. His subject was, ** The marks which have alwar's characterized the true Church.” In the course of his speech he gave an interesting outline of the work in his own parish.

After the singing of the Hundredth Psalm, the Benediction was pronounced by Rev. Mr. McKenzie.—Journd.

A Bie Sreat.—A Dover, N. H. despatch to the Halifax Heratd says : —‘‘ A P. E, Islander named Samuel Perkins, who went to board with a lady in this city, was missing on Tuesday morning and 3600 from one of the trunks, were also gone. He was notjcaptured.” The Herald s correspondent is probably astray as tothe native place of Perkins. He is probably a blue nose. Islanders do not distinguish themselves in that line when they go abroad,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

~_—_———

The Police Inspection.

Sir,—Two columns of Wednesday's paper were devoted to ‘* Police Inspection.” To a number of the citizens it afforded creat amusement, but to the more enlightened and sensible portion of the community it was a great farce. It stated that a Com- mittee from the Temperance Alliance wit- nessed the examination of the police force by His Honor the Stipendiary Magistrate, and before leaving expressed themselves as being highly pleased and well satisfied with the examination.

With regard to His Honor’s address to the noble army under his supervision, no reasonable or law-abiding citizen can find fault, as they must have been well aware during the past six years that in dealing with Scott Act offending he has had a great deal to contend with, and any any reason- able person (the editor of the Guardian excepted) must admit that he has performed his duty well and deserves great credit from the citizens at large.

Now for this wonderful examination. The Marshal, as every person must admit, has had great experience in police matters, having held his present position for nearly twenty years. Now, what is the charge against him? That officers Doyle and Costello saw him ‘pretty well on, some two months ago, but would not say he was drank.” Now, Mr. Editor, a man must he either drunk or sober, and {| would ‘ike t know what those officers mean by being ‘“‘pretty well on.” They must have been many times that way themselves, other- wise they could not form such an opinion. Officer Costello is then examined with regard to Sergeant McGonnell, another old and efficient officer. In this case Costello is evidently seeking promotion, for he cer- tainly does his utmost to give away the Sergeant, get him dismissed, and then step into his shoes. Costello states that he saw Sergeant McGonnell go into Gillis’ barber shop three or four times, and that these visits were made during the time that a warrant for Gillis was in the station for execution. Now, Sir, if such is the case, was it not Costello's duty to report to the Stipendiary and let the case be settled then and there? Why this delay? It is an old saying, there is **honor among thieves,” but I have come to the conclusion there is very little amoung some of the members of the Charlottetown police force.

OBSERVER.

The Diocese of Nova Scotia.

The Rev. Wm. R. 8. Parkman, Rector of Acadia Mines, Londonderry, replies to the remarks of the St. John Swix quoted by Tre Examiner on Wednesday. He says : ‘* The above slip from your paper appeared in to-day’s Halifax Hera/d, and as it conveys to all who read it (without knowing the true state of the case) an entirely false impression, I must ask you to insert in your next issue a few words from me. The Synod met in Hali- fax in July of this year and unanimously chose the Rev. Dr. Edgell to be their Bishop. On his declining, the Synod met again in Halifax and the great majority of the clergy chose one out of the clergy of the Diocese,viz: the ven. Arch- deacon Gilpin, whose personal saintliness of charaeter, whose great ability, and whose decided churchmanship are known throughout the church. He waschosen by his brethern not by one ballot, not by two, but by many ; it was the vote of the Lay-house in the Synod {together with a few clerival votes) which was against him, and in consideration of which various compzomises were resorted to. The present state of things is the result of those compromises. Thus you will see, sir, in its true colors, the picture you have sent out to the world of an ‘‘incorrigible Diocese,’’—of ** distress,” —of ‘‘ turbulence,” —of ‘‘ insubor-

dination,”—of ‘‘contumacy,”—of “ incapa- city,’’—and finally, the inability to find in

this Diocese, or (as is implied) in the Canadian church, one like unto him who was tried upon the charges of depraving the holy scriptures, was found guilty, excommunicated and de. prived of his bishopric, viz.: Dr. Colenso. Thank God that such an one cannot be found among the Canadian clergy. Will you allow me as one of the clergy of ‘‘ that incorrigible diocese,” to suggest to you that there are a few people still left who believe it to be their duty (as set forth in the church catechism) ‘*to keep their tongues from evil speaking, lying and slandering ” even when the subject of their remarks happens to be the priesthood of the Anglican church, and that these few will have much more confidence in newspapers and newspaper men when they show a dis- position to be just and fair to that which is

most precious—even the Church of our fathers.”

Minnie D., Captain Maskell, from George- town, P. E. I., bound to Halifax with a cargo of oats forG. P. Mitchell & Sons, capsized yesterday morning near Shutin Island, 14 She was struck by a squall and careened over on her side, her sails resting on the water. With great difficulty the crew and several women, who were on board as passengers, managed to get into the boat. Oue man had a particularly narrow escape, being knocked under the foresail when the vessel went over. After all on board had ot safely into the boat they rowed to Three ‘athom Harbor, a distance of two miles, and the captain telegraphed to the city. Tugs left yesterday to endeavor to find the schooner. The Minnie D. is 72 tons register and is owned by Mr. James T, Thompson. She is insured for $3,500 in the Ocean Marine. Her cargo is not insured.— Halifax Chronicle. ——— AvxoTner Escape.—-A convict named Bell, from Newcastle, N. B., escaped from the Dorchester penitentiary on Tuesday evening by lowering himself from the tank room to the ground, 40 feet, by means of a linen rope which he had made. He climbed the prison wall in the same way, and escaped to the woods. Bell's term was for seven years and he has served two years of it. ctiastibiiniie
