The situation was desperate and he John Macdonald) has made a desperate fight, and has saved himself. It remains to be seen,

has gained is not the sumblance of, rather than actual power.— Boston Traveller.

The day was saved to the Conservatives by the tour of Sir Charles Tupper in Nova Scotia. He found there upon his return from England a few weeks ago an ugly and even rebellious popular sentiment. The Local Government had been overturned last autumn, and the Secessionists were openly proposing an im- mediate repeal of the Union. This gave Sir Charles a fighting chance, as it pushed aside the ugly features of political jobbery and scan- dal, and made an appeal to patriotism most effeetive.—Springfield Republican,

The Canadian elections followed immedi- ately upon the elections in Germany, and in

| both cases the Government snatched a victory

out of the jaws of defeat. Against Sir John Macdonald, as against Bismarck, there was a combination of elements, the factions of the Opposition having scarcely anything in com- mon except the determination to defeat the actual head of the Government. Former friends joined with life-long foes in the at- tempt to overthrow the Tory Premier, desire to revenge personal slights aiding the opposi- tion to the principles represented by the present Government. As in the case of the German contest, Sir John Macdonald endea- voured to overthrow this opposition by arous- ing the national spirit.—Cleveland Plain- dealer.

The steamer Gelic, from China and Japan, reports that a Chinese junk bound from Hia Nau for Siam, hes been wrecked,

jand that out of 600 persons comprising her

passengers and crew, only six are known to have escaped. The same advices report an ou' break of lava from Manua Loa. All the craters were in a state of great activity when the steamer left Honolulu. renee Perhaps tho saddest state of things re- vealed by the earthquakes is that in one hotel a solitary young man dwelt in com- pany with 14 unmarried ladies and 68 widows. That poor young man must have had same reassuaiag to dv when the earth bbyan to guakv.

The City Building.

Srr,— Your leader yesterday, on ‘‘ Civic is timely, and should be |followed up by public opinion until the ‘laudable objects referred to be carried out ‘to the fullest extent. The roadway from Governor's Bridge along the bank to the Park has been time and again, ever since 'the Park became a place of public resort,

ispoken of and written about as a right |which the citizeus should obtain at the jhands of those whose duty it is |to grant and protect their rights.

And now that those in high authority, both |in church and state are proclaiming in un- | mistakable terms, that this boon must be secured to the publig, it is hoped that a deaf ear will no longer be turned to their appeal in this regard.

The city building te which you also refc: is an absolute necessity, and without ir city is annually sustaining a heavy loss The when completed, of | City Building,is estimated at about $10,000 | the lan already purchased cost $5,000, inak- {a total of $15,000, this amount bea: ng interest at 5 per cent per annum would only make $750 payable by the city an- nually, and prove a great boon to the Fire Department, as well as to the taxpayers generally. The present annual expendi- ture caused for the want of this building is very large and unsatisfactory. We have to pay rent of police station, rent of fire engine rooms and interest on the value of properties held for the use of the Fire De- partment, all of which could be dispensed with. The Civic ottices now used in the Market House would let at about $300 a @ year, or would enlarge _ the Market Hall to good advantage. There would also be a large annual saving on the apparatus of the Fire Department, by being properly cared for in the large rooms of the new building, as well asa saving in fuel, light, labor, insurance, &c. The present expenditure is thus estimated at the annual sum of $2,000, from which deduct the yearly interest on the new building, $750, leaves a yearly balance of $1,250 against the city. Surely,then, it is high time that the contemplated City Building should be erected and ready for occupancy at the earliest possible period. We do hope that the eorner stone in this new edifice will be laid on the approaching occasion of the Queen’s Jubilee as a fitting remembrance of the loyalty and attachment of our people.

government. If federation is accomplish- ed, the foreign policy of England must under- go a decided change; for if the colonies and dependencies are edectually defended, she need care little for a political :edivision of the mapof Europe. Under Federation the British nation would be the centre of a world-wide dominion. The constitution of England is un- written; but federation requires a written constitution, with a supreme court to inter- pret its provisions. The necessary guarantees of the independence of the States in the fede- ration must result from the feeling created in England in favor of a strong unity. Colonial rederation should precede Imperial federation, though the one was not necessary to the other. The band of Imperial federation should be
