The Salary Grab.

Ir is a tact of pleasing siguificance that the newspapers of Canada are all but uvanimous iv denouncing the} “ Salary Grab,” by which * honorat le” | members of Parliament have paid them- | selves for wasting time. Grip, received last evening, has no less than three car. toons about the matter; and, though strongly @rit in its tendencies, is parti cularly severe on Mr. Blake for his silent ‘acquiescence in the grab.

_———_——— +

Censcience Stricken.

Tue Patriot informs the public that

‘Mr. W. Mulock, « Liberal M. P., has given his extra $500 indemnity to be divi ded among the 125 volunteers from his constituency, who served in the Northwest campaign.”

So it appears that there is at least one covscience-stricken Grit. Mr. Mulock, it will be remembered, was, after Mr. Davies, one of the worst of the obstruc- tionists. Heis a lawyer by profession, a perfectly dry talking machine; and only lacks wind to be as promiaent in the Grit ranks as Mr? Davies is. It is pleasing to note that Mr. Mulock has been seized with compunetion tor his sins against the country, and has de- livered up his ill-gotten gains to the country’s soldiers. Perhaps Mr. Davies, Mr. Patterson, and other obstructionists will follow his example. Our gallant militiamen ought to be encouraged, and “conscience money” could hardly be] better employed than in doing so.

Upholding the Law.

Ln bis address to the Grand Jury at Georgetown, Chief Justice Palmer ad- verted in forcible language to the recent attack made upon Chief Luspector Bears, and strongly recommended the uphold- ing of the officers of the law appoiated under the Canada Temperance Act. He deplored the fact that so many per sons were found in sympathy with the liquor traffic, and regretted to find men combined to thwart and intimidate the public prosecutors, instead of trying to protect and encourage them in putting the law in force. The learned Judge spoke warmly on the subject, and his remarks were both pointed aud oppor tupe. Though he made no allusion to the “custom of the couttry,’ it was quite clear that he is desirous of seeing the law fully enforced. This is eucouraging to the temperance men of the country. The “ black duck” style of doing things has been quite long enough ‘‘the custom.” The law at ail times, and under all circumstances, shoald be upheld, and especially during an election contest should the violation of it be condemned. The old say that custom is stronger than law, does not hold good in cases where it is the custom to beat license Inspectors or dispense liquors out of the “ black bottle and the whisky flask” for the purpose of mes- merising the electors. We hope to see the law carried out after this, no matier what the custom of the country may be to the contrary.

— The Patriot might, we think, fiod higher and better employment than in attempting to throw discredit upon Mr. J. A. Lawson, Grand Worthy Chief of the Independent Order of Good Tem- plars in this Province. Mr. Lawson may, of course, make a mistake, for all men make mistakes; but it will require something more than the statement of the Patriot to conviace the public that a gentleman of his position and character would wilfully and deliberately say ‘* the thing that is not.”

— General Grant’s last words were: ‘I hope nobody wiil be distressed on my account.”

The Deutchiez Tagblatt, an occasional mouth-piece of Prince Bismarck, argues that negotiations beween Germany and Persia for an exchange of embassies were brought about by Persia becoming weary of Russian and English intrigues and seeking the help of Germany as an additional security to the peace of Central Asia, as a war between Russia and England must involve Persian interests which Germany wishes to protect.

The Shere Ali faction are propagating rumors of an outbreak at Cabul and the Ameer. Captain Peacock and Yates were still at Herat on the 18th inst. Forts were being built there vigorously. Four thou- sand troops armed with breech-loaders were expected to arrive there shortly. All official news indicates that Afghanistan is in a tranquil state.

Mention is made in the English papers that Cromwell, in his day, foreshadowed a redistribution of seats not unlike that about to come into operation. He purposed to abolish the boroughs, and divide the coun- try into electoral districts, which should return representatives in proportion to population.

Rev Charles Darling read a letter written by His Lordship Bishop Binney, to one of After explaining his he regretted

unavoidable absence, which

lexceedingly, he said; ‘‘l must forego the

melancholy satisfaction of taking part in the last cflices of this, my most highly- beloved Priest. But I the less regret this because, in God's providence, Archdeacon Gilpin has been permitted to be there in the last hours, and will commit to the grave all that remains of one who was very dear to him. Please explain to our friends the reason of my involun- tary absence. I need hardly say that I dec ply sympathize with the bereaved flock, and that I have sustained, in the removal of Mr. Hodgson, an irreparable loss. He has fought a good fight, and has been faith- ful unto death, and after many a conflict bas at length entered into his rest and awaits the approval of the Master whom he has so faithfully served. I thank you much for the copy of his last touching words to his people, which I shall ever treasure. God grant that you may be able to find one qualified in some sort to carry on the work so well begun, and that the seed suwn may bear good fruit.

The Situation at Home. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The New York Tribune's London de- spatch, July 26, says the defeat of the ministry on a minor point of the Medical telief Bill created much commotion, but

will have no practical consequences. The defeat is directly due to

THE DESERTION OF THE TORIES by their Irish allies. Parnell chose this

occasion to make it clear that the price paid for Tory submission includes only such support as may be convenient for him to give, he resumes independence of action whenever he likes. ‘

The Times’ coriespoudent cables: The project of a banquet to Karl Spencer was born of a pleasant desire to let that power-

fal and sensitive nobleman down grace- fully from the position of extreme discomfort and small credit, but during the past week it becane a

sort of test of loyalt® to Whiggery and a vehicle for the expression of rage with which the Whigs view the attempt of the Tories to get along peaceably in Ireland. Messrs Dilke, Chamberlain, Shaw-Lefevre, John Morley and a few others saw this, and refused to sign the invitation. Others, like Mr, Childers and Stuart Rogers, signed it but stayed away when the time came. The latter course was also adopted by all three of the Gladstones. The only Radi- eal of any prominence who could be in duced to go was John Bright, whose charity einbraces the slaves, Fellahecn, Boers and Sioux, but sternly excludes the Irish. His speech was ONE OF EXTREME BITTERNESS

throughout. The other speeches were en- tirely devoted to deification of Earl Spen- cer and to attacks on the Tories for declin- ing the responsibility for his acts. A droll incident was the reading of a letter from Lord Granville of regret at his absence, made necessary by a savage attack of the Government. Papers show that he made a long speech in the sity on Friday night, of which the chief feature was a sneer at Mr. Chamberlain. The confusion into which the Irish question has thrown Eng- lish party lines grows worse confounded. Tho danger of a division threatens both great political organizations, and it seems possible now that this division may be reflected in the Irish party of next Parliament. It is known definitely that Messrs. Chamberlain and Dilke have established relations with Michael Davitt, and that they intend to make a strenuous effort to use him to offset Parnell’s aid to the Tories. Up to the present, Davitt professes loyalty to Mr. Parnell, but a declaration of hostilities is expected soon. Mr. Trevelyan defined the Liberal campaign attitude perfectly when he said that the English majority had lvng

GOVERNED IRELAND FOR THE BENEFIT OF A MINORITY

of the Irish, and that now the Irish majority in revenge are governing England by aid of, and in interest of, the English minority. An appeal to the English elec- tors to prevent this by returning Liberals to the House of Commons, is to be the key-note of the Liberal canvass. This fact aud the open Tory revolt show that Parnell was not far wrong when he said at the Collins banquet that next winter there would be made the gravest demands on Irish political caution and skill.

Another cablegram says: Russo-Afghan news of the week consists entirely of rumors. The most important fact in foreign affairs is the consent of the European powers to the issue of an Egyptian loan of £9,000,000, which will be put on the market at a low price, the bourses of all Europe competing for a share.

The Sunday Observer will print to-day a statement that the Russians now occupy Zulficar Pass. They are said to have been there a fortnight ago. It is stated that Lord Salisbury has known of the occupation for several Gays. There is much anxiety in ministerial minds over the situation. ALARMING REPORTS OF AN UPRISING AT

CABUL

have not been confirmed, but it is certain that they are current in the bazars of India, and the general feeling here is that they probably aretrve. A new element of in- terest has been added to tho whole ques- tion by the almost official statement in Ber. lin that Germany has taken Persia under her protection. If this betrne, one need hardly say it will change the entire aspect of the Asiatic question, and there are many reasons for believing that it is true.

THE DATLY EXAMINER, JULY

LEYTERS TO THE EDITOR.

_———

‘*Mark the perfect man, and behold the

upright; for surely of that man the lattcr end is peace.”

Sir,—Our season of pleasure in the country is tinged with deepest sorrow at hearing of the death of that good man and useful cit zen, Rev. George W. Hodgson, the faithful Pastor of St. Peter's, whose last touching appeal and farewell to his people we have just, through your columns, been perusing. The sketch of his life, given by you, cannot fail te be interesting, | not only to his near relatives and his large circle of friends, but to the entire commu- nity of Charlottetown, who will for long recall the familiar sight in pulpit, on plat- form, and on the street, of the earnest, intellectual countenance, and the mauly form, with its air of quiet dignity, which betokened the Christian and the gentleman.

‘The memory of the just is blessed,” and many who gave little heed to the instructions io the devoted servant of God when here below, may be led to hearken to his dying request, and to follow in his footsteps, who has shown such a good example of Christian courage, zeal and love: who was made ‘“‘porfect through suffering” in that, through much of bodily weakness and pain, he performed the duties of his high vocation, and kept ever a steadfast eye towards the glory that excelleth. His earthly career, we are apt to think, was all too short ; but, measured by the standard of Heaven, of Him who said ‘Go, work in my vineyard,” it was long. What are a hundred years of frivolity or self-aggran- dizement, to half that period spent in pious and earnest endeavors for the elevation of sinning, suffering fellow-men. T@e crowning glory of professors of Christianity is consistency; and this virtue was exempli- fied, inasingular degree, by Mr. Hodgson He practiced exactly ‘‘what he preached,” and thereby dignified the profession of which he was a worthy member. In these days of pandering to party, and dealing in hypocrisy, he was never induced by earthly considerations to swerve from the path of truth and honesty. We would earnestly hope that his life’s work may be sustained by parties endowed for the task, and that the bright reflection of his beautiful and useful life may fall like a peaceful and holy Benediction on the spirits of bis mournin: relations, and may beckon them on to that blessed home of which the inhabitan’ shall never say ‘‘I am sick ;’ and where ‘God, the Lord shall wipe away all tears frow all eyes.”

‘*Calm on the bosom of thy God Fair spirit rest thee now ;

Even while with us thy footsteps trod, His seal was on thy brow.

Dust to its narrow house beneath, Soul to its hom? on high :—

They who have szen thy look in death No more may fear to die.”

Yours, CITIZEN, Belfast, July 25, 1885. > a

The Civic Meeting.

Sir,—Ex-Mayor D:wson, at the meeting in Market Hall on Friday evening last, was very anxious to secure a little popularity by condemning the present Council in their management of civic affairs.

He should have given the electors present his views as expressed at the late school examinations, when he stated th8 citizens were not taxed cnough for school pur- poses, and if he had his way he would spend twice as much; and further, that it was by his opposition to the amalgamation of the offices of City Clerk and Secretary of the School Board that the Council are called upon to pay five hundred dollars which might have been saved and spent upon the streets, which he states are in such a dis- graceful state.

I have no doubt that these statements would have secured him an additional tramp.

Yours, Farr Pray.
