Professor Ely makes an opportune presentation of the relation of workingmen to civil-service reform in the April nuo:ber of the Baltimore Civil-Service Re- former. We urges the Knights of Labor to insist upon making their influence tell for good in this direction, especially as they look to an extension of the functions of the state. To succeed in mak- ing state industry possible better administration must be introduced in the pean spheres of gov- ernmental activity before business men will dare risk their interests to spoilsmen.”

—R J. Dan & Co., report the busi- ness failures in the first quarter of 1886 to number 3,203 in the United States, with liabilities slightly over $20,000,000. Iu the first three months of 1886 they numbered 3,658, with liabilities of $46,- 000,000. The liabilities of the quarter just closed are less than in any similar period since 1873. In Canada, the failures for the first quarter of 1886 number 389, with liabilities of $3,442,- 000, as against 393 failares and $2,827,- 000 liabilities in the first three months of 1885. In the first quarter of 1883 and 1884 the liabilities in Canada were over $5,000,000 in each quarter.

—The statement of revenue and ex- penditure of the Dominion for the nine months ending March shows a revenue of $25,165,252, an increase of $1,916,- 173 over the correspondiag period last year. The ordinary expenditure amounted to $23,699,676, an increase of $1,174,625 over the same period in 1885. The surplus at the end of March was $1,465,575, an increase compared with March, 1885, ot $740,000. The expen- diture’ on account of the North-West rebellion amounted to $2,502,930 at the end of last month. This being an ex- traordinary expenditure is not classed with the ordinary expenditure as above given. The gain in receipts will go far to turn the small deficit anticipated by the Finance Minister in his budget speech into a surplus, especially as there are po heavy payments, such as subsi- dies to provinces, to be paid during the three months of the fiscal year yet to run.

—At the London (G. B.) Police Court on the 2nd April, thére were twenty- seven fresh and ten «adjourned sum- monses taken out at the instance of the School Board against parents, under the compulsory clauses of the Education Act, for not sending their children to school. Many of the excuses made were of the most piteous character, some of the parents stating that they had net sent their children to school becafise they had not food to give them nor clothes to protect them from the weath- er. One man brought his eldest daugh- ter, barefooted and dressed in rags, into court with him, who stated that her two sisters had cothing but a chemise and a petticoat each to wear, everything else having been sold for food; and notwith- standing that the man was receiving re- lief from the Manchester House fund aod had no money, he was fined two shillings, with the alternative of three days’ imprisonment. Much indignation was felt in court, and the fine'was at once ‘paid by one of the solicitors who happened to be present.

—The new Post Office building ai Summerside is now nearly ready for occupation; and now the question is how to get to it. Nothing seems to have been yet dove towards obtaining a public right of way between it and the busi- ness portion of the town. One well ac- quainted with the crooked ways of Sum- merside may, by threading his way among back yards and the debris thereof, reach the Post Office without going a long distance round the blocks. But we are informed that this private backyard way is liable to be closed at any moment, and, at any rate the public street in front of the Post Office should be continued through to Water Street. A town which cau boast such a very fine public building should not be disgraced for the want of a short extension of a street. The Post Office 18 conveniently situated between

A wholesale license authorizes the sale in quantities exceed- ing two gallons aod not less than one dozen quart bottles. The Act places the authority to issue licenses with the council of each district, and one or more inspectors are to be appointed by each council to direct a proper observance of the law. Heavy penalties are provided, not ouly for violation of the Act, but upon anybody who knowingly permits the illegal selling of liquor. In default of payment of fines, imprisonment is to be imposed, and the holder of a license who commits a third offence forfeits his license for three yerrs. The results of this “ high licease law’ will be watched with interest by the people of this Pra- vince.

The Orchestral Concert.

NoTWITHSTANDING the heavy snowstorm which prevailed last evening, a large and select audience greeted Mr. Vinnicombe and his pupils on the occasion of their first appearance as an orchestra before the music-loving people of Charlottetown. This orchestra is a decided acquisition to our musical circles, and Mr. Vinnicombe is entitled to every credit for the high state of efficiency to which his class has attained in sucha short time, To say that those pre- sent were delighted—as weil as surprised — would be but faintly to re-echo the praises that fell from the lips of the audience (as they left the Hall. In the arrangement of the programme good taste was displayed, and in the execution the hopes raised by a first glance at it were fully sustained. The selections, without exception, were rendered with great taste, and with an attention to precision and detail which were much ap- preciated. From the time the first few bars of the opening overture, ‘‘ Medley of Irish Airs,’ were heard, the Concert be- came an assured success. Nearly every number was encored in a manver that showed decidedly that the audience meant ** business,” and their recalls had to be attended to, Noticeably amongst those most in favor, were the violin duets by Miss Macdonald and Mr. Vinnicombe and by Miss Findley and Miss Newbery, to each of which an enthusiastic encore was given. Miss Knight’s vocal *‘ Waltz Movement” was a decided success, her voice being sweet and flexible, and her notes clear and pro- longed. An unmistakeable recall was gracefully acceded to, Miss Stewart cap- tivated the audience by her rendition of a piano solo, ‘‘ Reminiscences des Bruges,” and asa response toa well merited encore gave a medley of variations upou Scottish airs—introducing ‘‘ Ye Banks and Braes” and ‘‘ Bonnie Dundee ”—-which *‘ brought down the house” a second time. Mr. Saudeman’s violin solo, ‘* Cavatina,” was well received, and as an encore he gave

**Home, Sweet Home,’ introducing some fantastic variations and freaks, which fully sustained his reputation.

In selections from ‘‘Satanalla,” with Cornet solo, Mr. Fletcher, as usual, performed his part in a masterly manner, while Miss Findley led the orchestra in a style caicu- jated to show that—should anything un- fortunately happen to Mr.. Vinnicombe— we have a worthy successor nearly ready to fill his shoes. Of Mr. Vinnicombe’s own effort we need not speak. He and his playing are too well-known to need com- mendation, and we are of opinion that in justly praising his pupils we but re- flect lustre upon him. As a whole, perhaps the best critiqne we can give will be the artless exclamation of one (a judge af musie) who sat near the writer, and who —as the strains of ‘God Save the Queen’ fell upon his ear—-heaved an involuntary sigh, which seemed to have come from the bottom of his boots, and said, “Oh! { am sorry it is over so soon.”

Before closing we cannot too highly com- mend the accompaniments of Miss Lewis, who performed her pari in splendid form. Her touch was light, decisive aud effective.

Sad Death.

We regret to learn that Mr. ‘Pheophilus ©. Hersey, of Portland, Me., who was well known in this cit, met with a sad death in Philadelphia, Pa., last week. The facts of the case are about as follows: Mr. Hersey, who was seventy-four years of age, was in Philadelphia undergoing treatment for nervous prostration from which he was a great sufferer. A nurse was in constant attendance on him at the hotel. Oa the day of his death the nurse left him fora moment and on her return he had disap- peared. Running to an open window and looking down to the pavement abont one hundred feet below, the nurse saw his body lying on the flagstone. An examination showed that the man was dead. He had

His son, who accom- panied him to Philadelphia, is of the opinion that his father, crazed by~his suffor- ings, crawled to the window aud threw himself to the street below.

BRIMISH PARLIAMENT.

The Irish Question.

GLADSTONE'S GREAT SPRECH. A FULL OUTLINE.

The Wrongs of Ireland, and How to Right Them.

——

LEADING PROVISIONS OF THE IRISH BILL,

A Splendid Effort.

Lonpon, April 8,

On rising to make his formal announce- ment in reference to the Irish question, Mr. Gladstone was received with deafening cheers. He said :—

‘IT could wish it had been possible to expound to this House the whole policy and intention of the Government with reference to Ireland. Although the question of re- form in the tenure of land and the Irish Gove rnment are so closely and inseparably connected, it is yet impossible to undertake the task of elucidatiag both questions. In contemplating the magnitude of this task, ![ am filled with painful mistrust; but that mistrust is absorbed in the feeling of responsibility that will be upon me if I should fail to bring home to the public mind the magnitude and various aspects of the question. We should no longer fence or skirmish with this question. (Loud cheers.) The time is come when it is incumbent on the duty and honor of Parliament to come to some decision and resolution on this matter. Our intention is, therefore, to propose to the House of Commons that which, if happily accepted, will, we think, liberate Parliament from

the restriction under which of late years it has ineffectually — strug- gled to perform the business of the

country, and will restore British Legislation to its natural, ancient, unimpeded course, and above all, establish harmonions re- lations between Great Britain and Ireland on the footing of those tree institutions to which Englishmen, Scotehmen and Irish- men alike are unalterably attached (Loud cheers, prolonged by Home Rule members).

After reviewing the condition of Ireland, and the crime existing there since 1833, Gladstone described the coercive legisla- tion imposed during the same period as not exceptional but habitual. Serious dis- affection continued to prevail in Ireland, and if ‘England and Seotland had suffered similar hardships, he believed that these countries would resort to means similar to those the Irish had used to ventilate their grievances. ({Parnellite cheers.) Coercion was admitted to have been a failure, For the past 53 years of was the

repressive legislation, what

basis of the whole mischief? It was the fagt that the law was derided in Ireland. it came to the

Irish people with a foreign aspect, and the alternative to coerc’on was to strip the law of its foreign character, and invest it with ® domestic character. Ireland, though-represented in Parliament numeri- cally equal with England or Scotland, was really not in the same _ position politically, England made her own laws, and Scotland had been encour- aged to make her own |qws as effectually as if she had six times her present represen- tation. The consequence was that the mainspring of the law in England and Scot- land wag felt to be English or Scotch. The mainspring of the law in Ireland was not felt by the people to be Irish. He, there- fote, deemed it little less than folly to hold to that state of law which he had described, as it was not conducive to the real unity of

THIS GREAY, NOBLE, WORLD-WIDE EMPIRE.

‘Something must be done,’’ conti nued Mr, Gladsione. ‘‘Something is imperatively needed from us to restore in Ireland the first conditions of civil life —a full course of law, the liberty of every indi- vidual, their confidence in the law and their sympathy with the law, apart from which no country can be called a civilized country. What then was before them? It was this ; How to reconcile the Imperial unity with the separation of legislatures. Other countries had solyed the problem and under much more difficult circumstances. We vurseives might be said to have solved it with respect to Ireland during the time that Ireland had a separate Parliament. Did it destroy the unity of the British Empire?” j,Gladstone then pointed to the case of Norway and Sweden, which countries were, he said, united upon the footing of strict legislative independence and co-equality. He also re- ferred, to the case of Austria and Hungary, to show that legislative diversity and gov- ernmental unity in an empire was not a paradoxical relation. The claim of Ireland to make laws for herself was never denied, continued Mr. Gladstone, until the reign of George the Second. Tospeak of the dis- memberment of the Empire was, in , this eountry, an absurdity. The fault of the administrative system of Ireland was that i's spring and souree of agtion was English. The Government, therefore, felt that the settlement of the question was to be found by establishing a Parliament in Dublin for the conduct of both legisia- tive andjadministrative nature. The political economy of the three countries must be re- eognized, and there should be an equitable distribution of the Imperial burdens. Next there must be a reasonable safe-guard for for the minority. He belived the minority in Ireland could take care of itself when we have passed through the present critical period and been disarmed of jealousies with which any change was approached. But, for the

present, there were three classes of people

“as

ne ere get work st Dorsey,; whom they were bound to consider: Gol & vt qi’ | Finvtty, sve otace commoctiid with the land;

the Government in Ireland; thirdly, the Protestant minority. The speaker could not admit the claim of the Protestant minority in Ulster or elsewhere to rule on questions which were for the whole of Ireland. Several schemes for the separate Government of Ulster had been submitted to him; one being that the Ulster Province should be excluded from the operations of Rhe present bill. But none of the proposals had appeared to the Government to be so completely jastified by its merits or by the right of public opinion in its favor as to warrant the Government in in- cluding it in their Bill. However if practicable and feasible plans are discov- ered and proposed, the Government would be glad to adopt a plan that seemed likely to give gener@l satisfaction. Referring to the great settlement of 1752, Mr. Gladstone said: ‘*It was not a real seit’ement, and why was it Ireland that it

prevented # real settlement being made /

No, it was the mistaken policy of England listening to pernicious voices and clamor of ascendancy. ‘The Irish Parlia nent labored under great disadvantages, yet it had in it a spark of spirit and of freedom, aud it

emancipated the Roman Catholics in Ire-

land when the Roman Catholics in England were still unemancipated. There was 4

spirit in that Parliament which, if it had had a free scope, would have done noble work, and probably would have solved all Irish problems, and have saved this Gov- ernment infinite trouble. The speaker said

he would now pass to the plan: how to to deal

give Ireland a legislature with the Irish as distinguished from Imperial affairs. He was confronted at the outset with what he felt to be a form- idable dilemma. Ireland was to have a domestic legislature for Irish affairs, when [rish members and Irish representative Peers in either house continus to form a part of the Representative Assembly. The speaker thought it would be perfectly clear that if Ireland was to have a Domestic Legislature; Irish peers and Irish repre- sentatives could not come to the British Parliament to control Irish and Scottish affairs. (Cheers.) Then, with regard to the question whether Irish representatives shouid come to the House of Commons for the settlement of Imperial affairs, he thought that; could not be done, He had, therefore, arrived at the conclusion that the Irish members and Irish Peers ought not to sit in the Palace of Westminister (cheers.) If the Irish members were not to sit in the House of Commons the Irish Peers ought not to sit in the other House of Parliament. (Hear, hear. ) How were the Irish people to be taxed if they had legislation in both Commons? He believed Great Britain would never impose upon Ireland taxation without representa- tion, and added: If we were to have taxation without representation, then there would come another question which would raise a practical difficulty, and that is: Are we to give up the fiscal unity of the Empire! To give up the fiscal unity of the Empire would be a great misfortune to Great Britain and a greater misfortune for Jreland. He conceived that one escape from that dilemma would bs sach an arrangement as woald give the Imperial Governmen; authority to levy customs duties and such excise duties as were im- mediately gonnected with the customs. The conditions of such an arrangement were: first, that a general power of taxation over and above par- ticular duties should pass unequivocally into the hands of the domestic legislature in Ireland; secondly, that the proceeds of the customs and excise shoyld be held for the benefit of Lreland, and for the discharge of the obligations of Ireland, and the pay- ment of the balance, after these obligations were discharged, should be entered into the Irish exchequer, and be for the free dispo- sai of the Irish legisiative body. The Government bill provided for this, and the bill then provided that the representatives of Ireland should no longer sit in the House of Commons or Irish peers in the House of Lords. But, at the same time, they wonld have the right of addressing the Crown, and so possess all the constitutional rights they hold now. It would, therefore, relieve the Irish members from attendance at Westminister, Mr, Gladstone aaid he had several reasons why this shou!d be the case, even if it was possible for them to attend, as they had, the Parliament of their own, it would be very difficult to have two classes of members in the British House—one class who could yote on ali questions connected with the business of the country, and another which could vote on special particular questions werg were brought before Parliament,#and atthe same tuae {9 maintain the fiscal unity of the nation.

THERE IS ANOTHER POINT

with regard tothe powers of the legisla- ture. Two courses might have been taken. One was to endow the legislative body with particular legislative powers, and the other to except from thesphere of its action those subjects which the Government thought ought to be excepted, and to leave to it every other power. The latter plan had been adoptod. The administrative power would pass with the iegislgtive power. The duration of the proposed legislative body should not exceed fivelyeare. The functions which it was proposed to withdraw from the cognizance of the legislative body were three great and principal functions, viz,—

everything which related to the crown ; aii that which belonged to the defence, grmy, snd navy, the

entire organization of an armed force, and foreign and j colonial % relations. It would not be competent to pass laws for the establishment or endowment of any particular religion. As to trade and navi- gation, it would be a misfortune to Ireland to be separated from England... The Irish Parliament would have nothing to do with coinage or the creation of legal tenders. Fhe subject pf the post office would be left to the judgment of Parliament, though the Government was inclined to the view that it would be more convenient to leave the post office matters in the hands of the Postmaster-General. Quarantine and one or two other subjects were left in the same category.

The next subject he had to approach was that of

THE COMPOSITION OF THE PROPOSED LEGIS- LATIVE BODY,

The bill proposed to introduce two orders,

who would sit and deliberate together with

the right : voting separately on any

occasion and on demand of either body,’

whith shbuld be able to interpow a veto

secondly, the civil servants and officers of ‘upon any measure for limited time, either evil,

‘until a dissolution or for three years. ''These orders would be constituted as fol- lows: First, there were 28 representa- tive peers who conld not continue to sit in the House of Lords, after the represenia-

Commons. sitting as a portion of the first order in

would be £250 annual value, and capital value £4,500, Mr. Gladstone then said that he proposed that a hundred and one

of any party or quit offices with an out- going government. The Queen would be empowered to delegate to him any pre- rogatives she now enjoyed or would enjoy. The religious disability now existing, which

would be removed. With regard to judges who had been concerned in the administra- tion of criminal Iaw in Ireland, Her Majesty might,if she saw cause by an order in council, antedate the pensions of these particular judges, and in future judges appointed by the Irish Government be paid eut of the Consolidation Fand, and be removable only on joint address of the two orders. The constabulary would remain under the present terms of service, and unier the present authority. [The charge for the constabulary was now 1,600,000 pounds fer annum, and the speaker felt confident the charge would be reduced But for the present he proposed to relieve the Irish Legislative body of all expenditure for constabulary in excess of 100,000 pounds per annum.

With respect to the Civil Service the Government did not think their case was the same as that of the Constabulary, and the transfer of the Civil Sactice the

legislative body would effect a great

economy. He, therefore, thonght it would be wise to authorize the Civil servants now serving to

claim pension that would be due to them upon the abolition of their office, provided they served two years. In order to pre- vent the inconvenience arising from a rapid transition of service, and at that time both partics shard be free to negotiate afresh,

That was all, Gladstone stated, that he had to say on the subject of the new Irish constitution, The proportion of Imperial burdens which he had to proposes that Ireland should bear was as one to fourteen. He thought a new Jrish Parliament ought to start with a balangs to its credit; but the only fund it would have, if left alone, would be a solitary §20,000 pounds from the Irish Church fand, and he knew no way of pro- viding necessary money except by taking it owt of the years’ budget, and he proposed that in future [reland should pay one- fifteenth towards Imperial expenditure. Speakin of the trade between Great Britain and Ireland, he said the Irish receipts from the export of spirits alone would gain for her a sum _ that would amount to no _ less than 1,400,000 pounds per annum. He then entered into an elaborate calculation of total income and expenditure

contribution would be about 3,242,000 pounds per annum, He stated the total expenditure of Irelaad including the pay- mentas sinking fund for the Irish portion of the -National debt at £7,946,000 pounds per annum. Against that there was 4 total income of £8 350,000, or a sur- plus of £404,000. It has naturally been said in England and Scotland, continued Mr. Gladstone, that for a great many years past we have been struggling to pass good laws for Ireland, and that we have sacrificed our tims, neglected our interests, and paid up money, and have done alk this in an endeavor to give Ireland good laws. That is quite true with regard to the general course of the legislation since 1849. Many of these laws have been passed under the infinence of fear. The laws should proceed from congenial and native sources, and besides being good laws they should be their own laws. When I held ofiice at the Colonial office, fifty years ago, the Colonies‘were governed from Downing { Street. “The result was that the Hottie’ Government was always in conflict with those countries which had legislative assem- blies. We had considerable trouble with the QGolonies then. But that has been all. changed. The British Par- liament tried to pass laws for the Oolonies, But the Qolonies said, ‘‘ we don’t want your good laws, we want our own good laws ;” and Parliament, at length, admitted the reasonableness of this principle, This principle has now come home to us from across the seas, and the House has now to con- sider whether it is applicable to the case of Ireland. We now stand face to face with what is termed “ Trish nationality,” venting itself in a demand for the general self-government in the Irish + Nation in Imperial affairs. In conclusion, Gladstone said ; **T hold that there is such a thing as local patriotism which in itself is not bad but good. (Cheers.) The Welshman is full of |ocal patriotism. The Scotchman is full of local patriotism. The Scottish Nationality is a8 strong as it ever was, and if need were to arise, 1 believe it would be as ready to assert itself as in the days of Bannockburn; If I read Irish historyfaright, misfortune and calamity have wedded her sons to theif soil with an embrace yet closer than | is known elsewhere, and an Irishman is still more profoundly Irish. But it does not follow that because his local patriotism is strong, he should be incapable of Im- perial patriotism. There are two modes of presenting the subject which I have argued. One is to present what we now recommepd ps good, apd the other ig to present it as a choice of evils,

That an Irishman is lusus nature ; that justice, common sense, moderation, and national prosperity have no meaning for him; that ail he can under- stand, and all that he can appreciate is strife and perpetual dissension. Now, sir, I am not going to argue in this House whetber this view, this monstrous view,is A correct one. I say an Irishman is as capable ofjloyalty as another man. But if hia loyalty has been checked, why it is because the laws by which he is governed do not pre- sent themselves to him—as they do to us in England and Scotland— with a native

and congenial element. I have no right to say that Ireland, through her constitutionally elected members,
