amount yet chargeable to last year s “ac count. There was one feature, however,
about the supplementary estimates for 1886- 87 which must not be forgotten, and that is that partly owing to the lateness of the session nearly the whole amount voted had been spent under Governor-General’s war- rants so that very little of it remained to be expended The expenditure yet to be made is nor, therefore, nearly so heavy as it has been in former years, and is not at al] likely to exceed three millions, so that so far from there being a huge deficit, as some of the Grit papers have beeu proph- esying, there is every possibility of a sur- plus of from a million to a million and a half.”
The Boston Herald is one of the fair- est, as well as one of the best, of New Eng-
land newspapers. It discusses «questions from an independent standpoint, not car- ing whose feelings are hurt, and its posi- tion is generally the correct one. Its
treatment of the fishery difficulty is a notable example of this. While many its contemporaries sink al] considerations save that of political effect iv their articles on Canadian fishermen and the fisheries, the Herald steadily maintains that Canada has rights which must be respected and which are worth something to the Gloucester men. In a recent article it strongly urges negotiations on a_ fair basis. Referring to the constant danger of international difficulties in the present situation, the relative insignificance of fish imports to the entire trade between the two countries, and the embarrassment which the improper conduct of American lishermen has occasioned, it points out the necessity of a speedy settlement. To arrive at that settlement a compromise is recommended—a compromise admitting Canadian fish free to the American mar- kets, in return for _the rights, privileges and conveniences enjoyed by our fishermen. This is allthe Canadians want—a fair arrangement, with mutual concessions, and it would be well if United States statesmen would drop the idea of using the fishery auestion for political purposes aud look at itin the reasonable lig
aryument.

It hasa singular attraction for gentry who stand about cor- ners, generally engaged in doing noihing, and who are frequently requested by the ‘move on.” Dr. McGlynn is the only man of note who has joined this conspiracy to deprive people of their pro- perty.

His ideas on murder may be judved by the following. At a meeting to protest against the ratification of the treaty with Russia, he said that ‘‘although he did not wish to be considered as approving the taking of human life, still if any oppressed Russian felt bound to remove the Czar Ly dynamite, he could not condemn him.” This was re- ceived with rapturous applause. And yet there has been no decision by Rome on Henry George’s land theories. Dr. Me- Glynu has been summoned to Reme to give an aecount of himself and his teachings. To Rome he owes submission, and to Rome he was bound to go. He would not. He was then formally cited and given forty days to comply with the demand, on pain of ex- communication. He was not asked to deny any of his doctrines or to withdraw any theories he had advanced. He was simply asked to present himself before the ecclesi- astical superiors whose jurisdiction and authority he admitted. He refused, and he brought upon himself the penalty of excommunication.

e »- * With regard to the etfect of excommunt- cation the question of minor excommunica- tion becomes interesting. At one time no association of any kind could be had with a person cut off from the church, and if any intercourse was had minor excom- munication was incurred. But latterly this rule has been relaxed. Of course I do not mean that open notorious association with an excommunicated person would not involve the person so offending in eccles-
iastical censures, and that for obvious reasons; but I allude to that involuntary civil intercourse which cannot well be
avoided.
The manner in which this relaxation took place recalls one of the most interesting pages of Italian history.
In 1860, during the pontificate’ of Pius IX., the Subalpine government, which comprised the whole of Northern Italy— including Piedmont, Lombardy, Tuscany, Modena and Parma—seized the Roman
Marches, or States, bordering on the Adriatic, belonging to the Holy See. Pius
IX. at once issued a bull declaring that the Italian government had iucurred the major excommunication, specially reserved to the Supreme Pontiff, queting the language of of the famous bull, In Cana Domini, par- ticularly referring to the case, and anathe- matizing “‘all invaders, destroyers and looters of cities. lands, places or rights be- longing to the Roman Church,or usurpers of its supreme jurisdiction over them, as well as all those giving help, advice or favor to such invaders.” Hence the entire govern- ment, from the King to the common sol- dier, fell under the ban of the Church, and, as a consequence, nearly all the popu- lation of the Italian States incurred minor excommunication by reason of this un- woidable intercourse with the government officials and the army.
| Practically, however, the Pontiff’s cen- isure was in a great measure, unobserved and minor excommunication quickly passed into a conditionof innocuous desuetude, To

L870. the Italian government took possession of Rome itself, whereby the Roman eccle- siastics themselves,not to say all the people of the city, were const intly obliged to come in contact with the members of the vovernment, which had now dispoiled the Holy See of all its temporal possessions. Confessors, however, ignored the existence of any eeclesiastical censure arising from leivil intercourse with the government | officials and army, and the Pope himself sent one of his domestic priests to adininis- ter the last rites of the Church to Victor Emmanuel on his death bed, although the King had never shown any signs of repent- jance for his act of spoliation.
l"inally, in order to remove all doubt \from the minds of the faithful, Pope Leo XILI.. on December 5, 1883, approved a public declaration of the Sacred Congrega- tion to the effect that minor excommunica- tion, as established by canon law, had ceased to bind the consciences of the faith- Ful.

whether he sentence of the Court, Hodgson) urged that the prosecution had failed to prove that the man killed was Thomas Ottree and that the prisoner might at some further time be again prosecuted for the same crime. The Attorney-General was } 1eard in reply and Mr. Justice Hensley ' : _ quoted the evidence in the case. The court set the plea aside. The prisoner tried to read the following declaration, but failing to do so on account of agitation, it was read by his Counsel as follows :—
‘‘T never intended to take the man’s life, or even to hurt him. Ido not think there is a man that knows me thinks that I ever in- tended to harm the man. I have never taken human life, even in self defence. I have risked my life to save others. On one occa- sion ] saved ten men from perishing on the Atlantic, and I was sent a medal by Pope Pius IX. for this. I have a wife and five children in lreland, who look to me as their sole sup- port. They have nothing except what I can earn for them, and in punishing me the pun- ishment falls more heavily onthem. If the
iemn oath of a convicted man—though an }innocent man—may move Your Lordship to | merey, then do I call God, who sees and hears me now, to witness that I never intended to harm or hurt the man now dead, but in fear of my life I fired where I thought he was not, in order to frighten him. Up till to-day there has not been an officer’s hand on me. 1 brought myself to justice.”
The Chief Justice then addressed the prisoner at some length, dwelling particu- larly upon the necessity of abstaining from the use of deadly weapons, except in cases where there is the most imminent danger to the life of the person who uses them, or to those in his company, and sentenced him to four years imprisonment in the peniten- tiary.

The Merrimack’s Passengers. FROM CAPTAIN CROWELL OF THE DISASTER,
A STATAMENT OF THE CAUSE
(Halifax Herald. )
Captain Crowell is at Liverpool, with his chief engineer and the assistant purser. Before leaving the island, he said to a fievald correspondent: ‘*The Merrimack ran ashore ina dense fog which settled down between half and three quarters of an hour before she struck. The fog whisile had been regularly sounded during that time. The ship was in charge. of Pilot Reynolds, a native of Port La Tour, who had been piloting our steamers on _ this coast for the last twenty years, and this was his first accident. When the fog set in, the pilot, first officer Briggs and mystlf were in the wheelhouse and we were there when the ship struck. Quarter Master Morrison was at the wheel. When the fog set in the course was changed by pilot’s order half a point off shore for precaution. During all our trips _ last year the same course. W. 8. W., had carried us well off to the southward and the‘half point south, was a cautionary measure on account of the fog. When the ship struck, and for ten minntes thereafter, the fog was so thick that the light on the island could not be seen. it then lifted, we saw the light and knew we were on Little Hope Island. The first indication I had of being near danger was the vessel striking the rocks. She kept on for half or two-thirds her length and then rested, list- ing some to port. The ship’ was making nine knots when she struck. In my opinion we were carried out of our course— further than we were aware—by the cur- rent setting westerly towards the land,
Light House Keeper Cummings says he heard the steamer’s whistle about half an hour before she struck, but could not see her lights at any time until some ten min- utes after she struck, when the fog lifted.

It ig stated that piracy has lately become comimon along the Bombay coast, and that merchants have begun to hesitate about shipping goods for coasting voyages on native craft. A boat with a cargo of eot- tou, valued at Rs. 15,000, belonging to a Bombay firm, was sold by the crew to a gang of pirates at Sultanpore for Rs. 4,000. ‘The crew made for Damaun, in Portuguese territory, where they were arrested, and ‘gave intormation which resulted in the
