extending the trade, or incressing the political liberties of the people. The other has never done the right thing at the right time, has been the secret enemy of the Church, has already destroyed the sacred edifico in Ireland, and now threatens to pull it down in England, Scotland and Wales. While one points to the future, in proof of the blessings which will follow, provided they are returned to power, the other exultingly points to the past ar a guarantee that as every advantage thus far gained for the people has been fought for and won by them, so in the future they only can be trusted with the micsion of securing in- creased liberties aud prosperity for the nation.

There is one question in this conflict which cannot be overlocked, viz :

ESQ

Sin,—According to promise, I shall try to give you a brief sketch of the struggle now progressing between the two great political parties for supremacy in this Kingdom. The problems effecting the social, moral, aad political interests of Great Britain and her Colonies in the near 'fature, must, to a large extent, be influenc- ed by the result of this election.

Hitherto each party has maintained a policy so distinctive and well defined as to bid defiencs to any attempt to break down the barriers, except on one occasion, whep S:r Robert Peel, with the help of a few of his Tory friends, joined the Whig Party in abolishing the Corn Laws, For this de- fection hagwas bitterly hated and deserted by his old friends. Yet, now the Conser- vative Party claim the credit of having passed that important measure,because, but tor the few Conservatives who voted in its favor, it would not have become law. Those distinctive lines have now so

COMPLETELY FADED AWAY,

that when you «xamine carefully the plat- form of each party, one wonders why s0 much bitter strife and contention should exist when there is so little differe ce between them, With one exception, Lord Siisbury appears to have taken Up) charged against Lord Salisbury thet he has Mr. Gladstone's position and adopted his’ mile soa arrangement with Parnell to home an foreign policy.

Some clergymen ‘have publicly advised them, if they have been induced to make a rash promise and their conscience rebels, to break their promise. Others denounce such a course as immoral and sinful.

The greatest bone of contention ap- pears to bethe question of disestab- lishment and disendowment. When this campaign commenced, Mr. Chamber- lain, the leader of the Radical sec- tion of Mr. Gladstonoe’s party, ssid that one measure which must come up for dis- cussion in the near future was the dis- establishment of the National Church in England, Wales and Seotland, but not in the next Parliament. This was regarded by the Conservatives as a good opportunity of securing the Church party on their side, and the ery of ‘the Church in danger” has been most effectively used to strengthen

WHAT IS TO BECOME OF IRELAND ?

How is she to be pacified? It is one of the greatest problems which the next Par- liament will have to solve. This election will place Ireland in a much better position than she has ever occupied in the House of Commons. Her representaiives are vastly increased, and, if united, must command much greater influence than in the past. So far, during this campaign, Mr. Parnell ‘has been on the Tory side. I: has been

The Labrador Disaster.

SAD TALE OF A SUFFERER,

Asan instance of the severe sufferings endured by our poor fishermen, I may cite the case of a man nemed Eli King, who is at present in the St. John’s hospital, with ono of -his legs broken. The poor man was on board the Resvlute, a small vessel of eighty tons, at White Bear Islands, his wife and two boys being among the passen- gers, who altogether numbered eighty souls. They had all got on board, with the pro- ceeds of their summer’s labors, and were ready tostart for home when the storm came on. The little vessel, with three anchors out, tried to rids out the gale. All the spars were cut away, and the Resolute rode bravely ali through that terrible their position, Some of the Bishops and Sunday night while the fury of the storm Clergy have refused to leave the Liberal) was every hour increasing. But by the side, on the yround that by remaining in continual straining #¢ her anchors the vec- that camp they can exercise a greater in-|sel became leaky, and the poor women fluence in staving off the evil day, or in!and children, with whom the hold was modifying the terms of dissolution. There filled, saw the water gradually rising and can be no doubt about the immediate dis-/ knew that death was near. As daylight establishment of the English Church in| dawned on Mondey morning, the roar of Wales, where only a mere fraction of the! the tempest, which had now reached its people belong to that Church, and the can-| height, was desfening, and the terror- didates will be returned specially to carry stricken fishermen saw that one of the out that measure. | anchor chains had given way, and that the

|vessel was drifting on the rocks. At this moment when the bitterness of death had seized on all, poor Eli went down into the | old to his wife and told her they would soon be on the cliffs. ‘‘I am not afraid to die—I know where) { am gaing,” was her calm reply. Then Eli went again on deck, and here are his words in describing what took place :—‘*I wented te save my eldest boy; I tried hard to save him though I should be drowned myself. 1 wanted to get a line ashore as there were some men on the cliffs, but I could not throw up the rope so far. Islewed round then to take my boy in my arms, but he was gone. The sea made a clean breach over the schooner, and all in the hold, and my wile end two boys were lost. I don’t know how 1 got ashore. I felt myself in the water, and then I felt myself on the top of tho cliff with my leg broken, and that is all I know. Some four women and a number of men were flung on the cliff like me; and somo others were hauled ashore by a line the men on shore hove to us.

MOST EXTRAORDINARY EFFORTS

are being made to secure votes, notwith-, ‘standing the severe pains and penalties pro- i vided by the law to prevent undue influence | ‘or bribery. A few days since, a clergyman in the north of Englaud, thinking the cri:is demanded unusual efforts to secure every vote, provided a banquet on a princely scale, to which he invited all his, parishioners. He engaged one of the most prominent Londoa purveyors to prepare the feast. A larger array of French cooks were brought down. A magnificent epread of costly delicacies satisfied the most deli- cate appetite. Nor was this all. Hodge could drink as well as eat. The donor had made provision for this em rgency. A noted connoisseur in wines and other drinks had aleo been engaged for the occa- sion. Champagne flowed freely. For the first time, no doubt, Hodge was convinced of his political importance and stand ng. Whether he will retain his exalted inepira- tien until the time for ballotivog arrives, or not, is another matter. Whatever the “I'was a fearful desiruction, the like I result of the struggle may be, it is evident never seen. 1 saw six hearty young men that | drowned before my eyes, and none of us | was saved by any management of our own, 7 ee | but just by the great mercy of God, She are being fully exposed.
