In the course ot banquet in hovor ot Sir Charles fupper, Sir A. T. Galt said: -

‘It did not require the eloquent defence

which Sir Charles had made of his public treer to establish his reputation for zeal, | ilitv and integritw in the discharge of his | ublic duties. Not only as to Sir Charles, ut as to the public men of this county | lly, on either side of politics, be was | ‘repared to deny that a well-authenticated case of « rruption had ever been made out

that the parety of our political life was one | of the best guarantees of the permanence and prosperity of the Dominion,” |

could only be made up

the claim of Mr. Churchill who was an American subject. Everybody knows that the words of the memorandum— |

‘merchants who were British subjects —precluded ali Americans from partici- pating in the money voted. No matter what amount of money might have been nawed in the vote ouly, *‘British subjects” could be paid. The memorandum wes carefully worded not only to satisty Parliament that the proper priaciple was acted on, but to guide the Auditor General in certifying payment.

In the House of Commons Mr. Davies’ complaint was that it was not proposed to pay Hall & Myrick who are Americans ; but here and now the Patriot —the organ of Mr. Davies—scolds like a fishwife, and says it was intended to pay Mr. Churchill who is aiso an American!

The more we look into this matter the more convinced we are that the Govern- ment acted properly, not only in uader- taking to pay the claims, but also in the manner of submitting them to Parlia- ment. They intended that Parliament should agree to the principle of indemni- fyiog British Subjects for the losses they had sustained. Exch claimant would be required to prove the geuuineres of his claim, and that it came within the terms of the vote of the House. The Auditor General, who is a thorough Grit, and whose authority in certifying payments is supreme, would see that the inteutions of Parliament were carried out.

It is hard to say whether Mr. Davies’ opposition to the refund was prompted by stupidity, as a contemporary puts it,

or by his factious spirit—desiring to oppose everything the Government submitted. Whatever the cause of our

Grit member’s extraordinary conduct, the result is equ: lly prejudicial to the inter- ests of this Proviuce.

Canada’s Rum Bill.

Ix a Return bronght down last session, on motion of Prof. Foster, M. P., show- ing the quantities of liquors manufactured or imported for home consumption since the 30th of Jane, 1868, we find some startling facts. Under the head of “manufactured,” Canada consumed fifty million gallons of distilled liquors, valued at forty-five million dollars, and of malt liquors, one hundred and twenty-eight million gallons valued at fifty miilion dollars. Over twenty-eight million gal- lons, valued at twenty: five million dollars, were imported during the same period. In excise, about two hundred and twenty- seven thousand dollars were paid. while on customs duties were collected twenty- two million dollars.

These amounts, of course, only show the first cost of the article. When this is taken into account, together with the fact that large quantities of liquors of all kinds were formerly—and, for aught we know, zre still—smuggled ivto the couutry, ihe amount of money spent in spirituous liquors is alarming.

Bad as this ever, we have the satisfaction of know- ing that the drinking custom is not nearly so prevalent here to-day as it was even a few years ago. In the Mother Country, too, the use of intoxicating drinks is much less prevaleatthan formerly, The

temperance men aud women tilere, as|

well as here, are making their influence felt, not only in the social circle, but also in Parliament. We believe the good time is coming, and is pot far away, when Temperance principles will prevail.

Hard to Piease.

The political creed of our Island grits is a very varied and changeable one, so varied and so changeable at times that it is very difficult for ordinary mortals to understand them—politically we mean. ‘Take, for instance the pier question. While one of the leading lights of the party ridicules our claim, another equally illustrious admits its piramouut importance even to the ex- clusion of our claim to a fair share of the Fishery Award! Then there is the question of deficits and surpluses. Some

of the real sound orthodox grits declare |

a surplus to be a curse Others suy that a deficit is equally so When the surplus of the D uninion aud the deficit of the Local Goverumeuts are referred to, they state that Dvitver ut thu,

‘Panic in the Concert Hall.

‘HEART-RENDING SCENES.

Further particulars have reached us of the awful tragedy that occurred in the town of Suoderland, County Durham, on Satur- day night last. Several thousand children, it appears, attended an entertainment given in Victoria Hall by a copjuror. An acci- dent occurred at the close of the perform- ance; the bedy of the hall had been entirely cleared of its cecupants when some 1,200 little ones came rushing down stairs from the gallery. At the,top of the first flight of stairs was a door which opened only about twenty inches, permitting but one child to pass through at atime. At this point, while the mass of children were crashing forward, one fell and was unable to rise, owing to others crowding on. The result was that a great number were PUSHED DOWN, TRAMPLED AND SUFFOCATED.

The scene was terrible and no effort could stop the mad rush of the affrighted chil- dren. They came on pell-mell and soon 178 of them were knocked down and suffo- cated by others tramping upon them. The greater number of the bodies which were badly mangled from the trampling, lay seven or eight deep. Many of the victinis and others who were not killed had the

CLOTHING TORN FROM THEIR BODIES, and this, together with the bleedirig bodies of the unfortunates, shows the terrible nature of the struggle. The fatal list reaches 186. The rescuers’ first efforts were directed towards rescuing the children who were apparently alive, but so TIGHTLY WERE THE VICTIMS JAMMED TOo-

GETHER that it was regarded as dangerous to drag them out of the helpless mass lest the effort would result in pulling off the limbs of the living children as well as mutilating the dead. They therefore proceeded steadily and systematically to lift off the topmest. A few of these beneath had survived and their moanings and low cries ef pain could be distinctly heard, amid the excitement and cries of the bereaved parents and friends who were thronging the adjacent streets. ‘The disaster was referred to in ali the churches in Sunderland and by many preachers in London, and prayers were offered for parents and friends of victims Fay, who gave the entertainment, was busy packing up his apparatus to depart when a man rush¢cd up to him and informed him ot ihe disaster, and immediately he FELL DOWN SPEECHLESS IN A FIT.

Some of the families whose homes were so suddenly darkened lost over three children One man and his wife pushed their way in- to the hall in which lay the bodies of the victims, aud without betraying any emotion began to scan the faces of the dead. Re- cognizing the face of one of his children, the father, pointing with his finger, ex- claimed, ‘*That’s one !” Passing on again he recognized another and then a third. Staggering in a fit of agony he cried : ‘‘My God, all my family gone!” and overwhelm- cd with grief, he sank to the floor. In some homes there are five children dead,

THE QUEEN'S GRIEF AT THE DISASTER.

Queen Victoria sent a telegram to-day to the Mayor of Sanderland, expressing her grief at the occurrence of the disaster. The children of the various Sunday schools also sent telegrams of sympathy.

THE SCENE IN THE THEATRE.

The scene inside the Victoria Hall dur- ing the identification of the bodies baffles description,and was painful in the extreme. The faces of the dead children were almost in every case swollen from snffocation, from which many died. The lips were parched and noses bleeding, and parents, rushing wildly about, would fall upon the bodies of their dead children, wailing and weeping, clasp the unconscious form in their arms, vainly endeavoring to note some sign of life.

lat the sight of the dead, while others were | wild and almost violent in hysterical grief. The act of removing the dead from the hall was an occasion of renewal of lamentation ;and confusion. Many parents rushed | through the police cordon appvinted for the | preservation of order, and there was a scene |of great confusion. The passage way was | very close, so that, in a short time after the | catastrophe, a horrible, sickening stench |came from the pile of corpses at the main |

| outlet of the hall.
