SEVENTY FamiLies Hometsss.—It is esti- mated that about seventy tamilies were ren- dered homeless by the fire which swept over the little village of Moreland, near Chicago, on Tuesday iast. It appears that the fire started in the Presbyterian Church and burved 38 buildings, including most of the stores and many residences. It is estimated that the ruins cover 25 acres. Strong wind, lack of water and fire extinguishing apparatus are mainly responsible for the catastrophe. The families burned out are mostly in poor circumstances. Many had to camp out all night on the prairie, The loss estimated is at $100,000; insurance, about $50,000.

The Return of the Tide. Last night our boats lay drifting, late, Upon the sea’s unmoved expanse, When, lo ! some eddying swirl of fate-- Some current of capricious chance Broke chain from chain and heart from heart, And we were borne apart,

You southernwards, to drift or lie— I know not how, nor when, nor where, I underneath this northern sky— A frozen heart in frozen air— Yet soothed by one sustaining thought Mine eyes to me have brought.

lor this I know; all tides converge, Through dark and light, through calm and stress; The southern swell and northern surge Some day shall meet and coalese; And all the freights those currents bear Shall meet some day, somewhere.

Ah, what though black clouds hide the sky, And desolate track!ess wastes divide? Some day, somewhere, our boats shall lie Within the harbor, side by side,— Where sorrow nevermore, nor pain, Shall sever us again. Joun W. O’KEE?PE. — + 9 ——_____—

Chit-Chat of Dress.

Jet still holds a place among trimmings, as nothing can equal its radiance in relieving the sombreness of all black costume, but they are of exquisite fineness and of solid beads show- ing no back ground. Jet fringes of bead so fine as to make them marvelously light in weight some fifteen inches deep for the decor- ation of the front of Empire gowns or of elegent silk or lace wraps; some are in narrow pvints an inch wide at top and six or eight inches deep to be used to confine puilings and folds on sleeve and corsage.

This is to be a lace season, importers say, as it was never brought over in such quan- tities or in such variety; lace gowns, lace wraps, lace hats and bonnets, and lace trimm- ings on everything: bordered laces some sixty five inches wide for the entire front of gowns or for long wraps; the designs in traverse stripes forming a border, Empire style, or in longitudinal stripes.

For the clinging Greek draperies, so elegent for house gowns, nothing is equal to the silk wrap convent and Henrietta cloths in soft water lily tints; nothiug hangs in such classic, pliant folds; these with borders of embroidery in gold or silver are perfect.— Ladies Bazaar.

Beer Bros. opened this week, two cages of exquisite novelties in dress trimmings and embroideries, and one case Henrietta cloths.

What Archbishop Walsh Says.

Archbishop Walsh continued his testi- mony before the Parnell commission on Thursday. He testitied that faots had come to his knowledge that proved that the league tended to diminish crime. There had heen a gradual decadence in the secret societies in Ireland since 1866. He was aware that the league had. advised the establishment of land courts in 1881; sub- sequent events had justified that advice. He only knew of one instance where the league had been indiscreet. This indis- cretion consisted of the passage of a resolu- tion by a branch of the league to publish in its district a list of persons not members of the league. He protested against this action, and the publication of the list was abandoned. As the league spread, secret societies vanished. The people learned to prefer open parliamentary action and to dislike secrecy. Throughout his diocese cases of boycotting had been few, although the league was strong in that district. The only sense, the archbishop said, in which boycotting ought to ba tulercted came under the name of exclusivedealiag. Any thing like intimidation was reprehensible. Members of the league held that voycotting kept the country free from outrages. Wit- ness did not approve of refusing to sell the necessaries of life toa man under boycott. He understood the plan of campaign to be purely a voluntarily combination, and that it did not imply boycotting. Mr. Atkinson, of couasel for the T'ii:nes, here quoted from a pastoral issued by the archbishop in 1882, denouncing the moyement not to pay debts as forcible registance to law. Archbishop Walsh said that pastoral had been issued in consequence of an increase in the number of secret societies, owing to the disorgani- zation of the league under the imprison- ment of the leaders, and while the people were driven to despair by eviction.

ear A Scheme for Ireland.

The Boston Herald details a scheme said to be in the heads and hands of ‘‘a number of a number of citizens of Boston,’ whose object is to benefit the poor evicted tenants of lre- land. As stated, the plan seems to be simply to establish a factory in one of the evicted districts, and thus to plant manufactories in freland. Boots, shoes, underwear and outside clothing are articles the manufacture of which it is thought, could be successfully started in Ireland; and by sending over capital and skilled workmen to teach tho natives, better results could, it is thought, be obtained than by the present arrangement with the National League, which simply results in the mainten- ance with little or no labor to themselves of a large number of evicted tenants. It is thought that by this scheme employment may be found at home for poor people who now have to come to America to work out a vecy un- certain existence.

STATE OF THE PROVINCE, Speech of Mr, P. Blake, M. P, P,

Delivered in the House of Assembly on the “otion to go into Com- iiittee of Supply.

Mr. Biake.— ir. Speaker, 1 desire to make a few remarks on the important ques- tion now before the House, namely, the financial position of this Province.

[ feel a certain amount of diffidence and delicacy in addressing the House on this very important subject, particularly when I see around me many honorable gentlemen older in years and much more experienced in financial matters than the one now ad- dressing you. As a supporter of the general policy of the Government, I regret that I cannot agree with their financial manage-

ment. The system adopted by them of

allowing the expenditure of each year to exceed the revenue is an unsound one. Last session, when I had the privilege of addressing the House on a eimilar motion

to the one now before it, | pointed out the fact that the recurrence of an annuai deficit was, to say the least, a bad policy for the Government to pursue, and one that should be discontinued. In making that state- ment, at the time, I had hoped that | would not be under the necessity of again referring to it. 1 deeply regret that these annual deficits do not seem to be at an end. In taking up the public accounts for the past year I find that the expenditure on the year’s transactions exceeded the revenue by $25,730.87. Judging from the estimates for the present year now before the House,

have uo expectation that that am- ount will, to any great extent, be reduced, In all probability on the 31st December next, we will have a deficit on the trans- actions of the two years, the present and the past one, of not less than $50,000, Now, I strongly protest against the con- tinuance of this method of doing business. If any corporation or business firm doing business here, or elsewhere, conducted their affairs on similar principles, we would, at once, come to the conclusion that it was onty a question of time when that business would end disastrously. I hesitate not to take the position that public affairs should be carried on in the same cautious and business like manner as good business men conduct their private business. Were 1, as # client of my hen. friend, the Leader of the Government, to ask his advice, and say to him that | was suffering yearly losses, and that in consequence I was fast going into debt, would he not say to me, ‘Go and cut down your expenses and carry on your bnsiness in a more careful ané@ cautious manner.” 1 ask the hon. member tor Summerside (Mr. Lelurgey,) a gentle- man who has the reputation of being one of the wealthiest aud most successfnl business men in this country, the hon. member for Murray Harbor, (Mr. Prowse), and the hon. members for Georgetown, (Messrs. Gordon and Macdonald.) all very successful and careful business men, whether they have pursued that policy in the management of their private affairs, that they are and have been, as members of the Government, assisting and advising the Government to pursue / 1 am quite sure they have not, and I con- tend that public affairs should be conducted on the same careful and business-like prin- ciples as are acted upon in private transac- tions. This being the case, I niaintain that the revenue of each year should cover the expenditure, and that the recurrence of an- nual deficits should be discontinued. The Government cannot, however, be charged with extravagance, nor have their opponents ever made such a charge. 1 desire to give the Government full credit for honesty and economy in their management of the affairs of the country. They inaugurated a sys- tem of economy aud retrenchment, and thereby very largely reduced the expendi- ture each year, which was in marked con- trast to the extravagant pulicy pursued by their predecessors. When the Government repealed the Assessment Act,their first real trouble began, and has continued to the present time. ‘There is no doubt in my mind that the Government considered themselves fully justified in pursuing the course they have taken. They contended ‘hat as we had many strong claims upon the Dominion Government for sums due us, the results that would be obtained from the prosecution of those claims, with the ordinary revenue, would be sufficient to carry on the business of the country with- out direct taxation for many years. I give them all due credit for the able and vigor- ous manner in which they have presented and pressed our claims upon the attention of the General Government, and for the considerable sums secured thereby. But | contend that had they, after introducing their economical policy, not repealed the Assessment Act, but continued it in force and collected from the people such sums as were necessary to meet their requirements, they would be in a very different position to-day, and instead of having an intebted- ness up to the Slst December last of con-

siderably over $200,000, they would have had a clean sheet and been able to make expenditure and

revenue meet, without being necessitated to draw a large sum from our capital at Ottawa. I am pleased, however, to be able to state that although they have rolled up a large indebtedness, the people have received full value for it, and the money has been allowed to remain in their possess- ion ;} the extra expenditure on educa- tion and the additional cost of the main- tenance of the hospital for the insane being largely in excess of what it was under the

(Continued on fourth page.)
