A New Departure.

THE nomination of Duncan Macintyre, the millionaire and ex-director of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, as the Grit candidate for the by-election at South Renfrew on Tuesday next, shows how terribly shattered the little faith they must have in their own men. They have chosen for a candidate in one of their

Mr. Macintyre was one of the leading promoters of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and is at the pre- sent time one of its largest stockholders.

The fact that his nomination is endorsed by Messrs. Laurier, Cartwright and other Grit leaders, strongly indicates that the Grits have lived to see the error of their ways, amd to abandon their hostility to the C. P. kK. Company. Whether Mr.

MacIntyre will carry a constituency or not, is a matter of no that by his nomination the Grits have practically buried the hatchet of political hostility to the great National Railway of Canada. Mr. Blake's acquiescence in Sir John’s National Poliey prior to the elections of February last,

Administration of the |

Varia.

Some interesting statistics regarding con- vict labor have just been published by the Commissioners of Labor at Washington, for the iast year. There are 5,895 women and 58.454 men, in all 64,349, under sentence

jo8 hard labor, but of these only 45,277 are engaged in productive work, 15,101 are en- gaged in prison duties, and 3,971 were un- |able to work from illness. The total * alue ‘of goods made and work done is $28,753,- 1999. It took 45,277 convicts one year to |produce this total value. it would have ‘taken 35,634 free laborers to have produced the same quantity ef goods in the same time, er, in other werds, a free laborer 1s equal to 1.27 convict; or, to reverse the statement, one convict is equal tog.78 of a free laborer. The State producing the largest amount of conyvict-made goods is New York, the value being $6,256,320. Dakota is at the bottom of the list with $11,577. Boots and shoes lead, the pro- duct being $10,000,279, or a little over 30 per cent. of the whole; then comes clothing valued at $2,199,634. The question of con- vict labor is assuming a prominent place in American politics, and especially in the State of New York. The competition is felt to be unfair, for the prisons can under- sell the manufacturers, and the loss falls eventually on the laborer, whose wages have to be reduced to allow a profit at all. * *

There ought to be thorough agreement that at least fifty years should be allowed to elapse between the death of an eminent public man and the publication of his pri- vate letters. Have we cained anything by the publication of the correspondence of Charles Dickens or of Thomas Carlyle and wife? Very little indeed. I have seen lately in an English newspaper some ex- tracts from the private correspondence of Mr. Thackery, from a * selection ” recently ‘a The ‘selection ” stands sorely in need of a little eareful editing. It is not very easy to see what public good can arrive from the publi- cation of a private letter from Mr.Thackery, in which he states that he went to Canter- bury, when ina barrack room he *‘* drank about” with the officers of a certain regiment (which is named ;) that the officers told each other * the silliest and wickedest old Joe Millers” and that the jolly grey- headed old majors had no reverence for the beardless ensigns, nor vice versa. Then Mr. Thackery goes on to speak of a father and son in another regiment in garrison at Canterbury, ‘‘ being carried up to bed drunk the night before.” This was written toalady. Was it worth while to print it?

l read inthe English newspapers of a Jubilee Football Festival at Kenrington Oval, at which Royalty was present. It may interest some of your readers (espe- cially those of them who are members of the Abegweit Football Club) to know that football has been repeatedly prohibited by public authority. In 1349, Edward Ill. forbade this game in consequence of its tendency to impede the progress of archery, while James I., in the ‘** Basilicon Doron,” writes: ‘*From this court I debarre all rough and violent exercises as the football, meeter for lameing than making able the users thereof.” But James was a learned, prejudiced pedant. What could be ex- pected from a King who tried to prevent his subjects from smoking. and did his best to drive tobacco from his kingdom? In the reign of Elizabeth, football was not only forbidden but punishable by law. In the eighteenth yearof her reign there was found at the Middlesex Sessions a true bill against sixteen persons, husbandmen, yeo- men, artificers and the like, *‘ with un- known malefactors to the number of a hun- dred,” who ‘‘assembled themselves un- lawfully, and played acertain unlawful game called football, by reason of which unlawful game there rose amongst them a great affray, likely to result in homicides and fatal accidents.” I tind an account of a coroners inquest in the twenty-fifth year of Elizabeth’s. reign on the body of Roger Ludford. It was proved that deceased, with one Nicholas Martyn and one Richard Turvey, were playing at football, when Ludford ran towards the ball with the in- tention of kicking it; whereupon ‘‘Nicholas Martyn, with the elbow of his right arm, and Richard Turvey, with the elbow of his left arm, smote Ludford in the forepart of his body under the breast,” whereof he died in a quarter of an hour. The jury re- turned a verdict that Nicholas and Richard feloniously slew the said John, Are we not told somewhere that the priests of Apolio used once a year to kick about a leathern ball which was made from the skin of Marsyas, the satyr who challenged the god to a contest upon the lute ?

* *

Dr. McGlynn still pursues the uneven tenor of his way, and his followers are be- soming more outspoken in expressing their views. At a meeting lately held in the Music Hall, New York, one of the orators of the evening referred to Archbishop Cor- rigan as ‘‘a mite under a mitre,” while an- other, not to be outdone, spoke of him as ‘* that double-dyed little villain Corrigan.” These choice remarks were received with great spplause. But the most revolting part of what was there to be witnessed, was a large banner over the stage with the motto, ‘* Ecce Homo Sum, Edward Mc- Glynn.” This certainly capped the climax of irreverent wickedness. It is true that he who first used the words ‘*‘ cece Homo” was Pontius Pilate, but because he used them on the most sacred day the world has ever known, and applied them to the Incar- nate God in the hour of His most awful passion, they have ever been regarded with a sacred awe, reminding us of the world’s Redeemer as, wearing the “crown of thorns and the purple robe, Fie was brought forth tu die. There is but one class of men who would have used the words to an ex- communicated priest—that class is, the so-

,

cialistic followers of Henry George. There is, I would fain hope, but one man

on earth who would permit the dreadful blasphemy—and that man is Dr. Edward McGlynn.

+ *

There is one very practical reason why Archbishop Corrigan shrinks from the Henry-George land theory. He is the cus- todian not only of the most magnificent cathedral in the United States, but of many colleges and religious houses, where day by day and year by year, work is being done for God, and there are, moreover, in differ- ent parts of his diocese, and especially on

the beautiful banks of the Hudson, many | quiet resting places of the dead. All these | with many a holy rite and many a touching

purposes. As their guardian, the Arch- bishop cannot, he dare not, hand them over to the followers of Henry George, to secu- larize them and to use them for profane purposes, if the annual rental which is to be imposed them, is not, it way be because it cannot be, paid. And in this the Archbishop is supported, not only by those whe shrink from the crime of robbing God of that which has been given to Him, but by many a hard working artizan who, like Gallio, ‘* cares for none of these things,” but very strongly objects to the humble home which his honest exertions has gained for himself, being handed over to the Com- munists and Socialists who are prepared to turn him upon the roadside. And this rob- bery is called a ‘‘ crusade!” and the ‘ cru- saders”’ have adopted as their metto: ‘The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Men.” In olden times when Dick Turpin met the traveller on the highway, he did not call himself a ** Crusader,” nor did he say grace when heappropriated what money and valuables he could find. He simply demanded, ** Your money or your life,” and he took either one ,or the other—seldom both. There is not much to choose be- tween the honesty of the old and the new crusader, but it must be admitted that there was manliness in the oid method, which is entirely wanting in the new. SS TS

Listemann-Kellogg Concert.

There was a veryappreciative audience at the Orpheus Hall last evening to enjoy the very successful concert of the Listemann- Kellogg concert company. ‘Two of the lead- ing artists are no strangers to Halifax, and the third may be sure of receiving a hearty welcome whenever again he may come to this city. After an absence of seven years, Miss Fanny Kellogg will make many new friends and delight many of the old ones. Her voice is stronger now than then, as true and singularly sweet. The rendering of the ‘* Echo Song ” was very fine and an ex- lent number to which she kindly responded with anencore ‘* The Robin Song” by Abt. The duet ‘‘Say Once Again I Love Thee,” from Don Pasquale, in which she was assist- ed by Mr. Hoit, was also well received. The encore was the famous ‘‘ Laparello” Aria. After the last number, ‘‘The Three Old Maids of Lee,” Miss Kellogg also responded to an encore in which she gave ** The Farmer and His Pigeons.”

Mr. Listemann is also known to many in Halifax since he assisted at the opening of the Academy of Music by the Philharmonic Society, of Boston, of which he was the leading artist. He isa great artist, and his violin playing last night gave genuine pleasure. His bowing is faultless and his tone true. His technique is wonderful, and the ease with which he overcomes the enormous difliculties in execution can only be appreciated by those thoroughly -ac- quainted with the instrument. His first number, ‘* Concerto,” from Bazzini, which was enthusiastically applauded, elicited an encore, in which ** Yankee Doodle” was given. His next selections were ‘*Nottur- no” from Ernst, and ‘* Rondo” from Paganini. As an encore he gave ‘* Mig- non,” by Sarasa.

In Mr. Ronconi, the company really pre- sent two artists. His flute playing is won- derfully soft and expressive ; his variations are true and fine. He reminds one of Mr. Heindel, who delighted so many Halifax musical audiences in the days of tho Quin- tette Club concerts. Mr. Ronconi has also a very fine deep voice, of which the quality is rich and full. Mr. Ronconi’s flute solo was the ‘‘ Fantaisie Melancolique,” from Reichert, which elicited a call for an en- core, to which he kindly responded. His accompaniment of Miss Kellogg in the ‘*Echo Song” witha flute obligato was also highly appreciated.

Mr. Ronconi also sang a duett, ‘‘ Lily of Killarney,” from Benedict, with Mr. Hoit. His artistic rendition of Madaminna (Don Jusn) was greeted with applause. As an encore he gave ‘*‘ The Wolf,” from Shield.

Miss Ford played the accompaniments very well, and also contributed a _ pleasing ballad to the programme.

The selections throughout were in good taste. —Halifax Herald, 29th.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Board of Health.

Sir,—A radical change and improvement is required in the composition of the Board of Health. As it is at present composed of the City Council, its uselessness is assured. A properly constituted Board—either elective or appointed—formed one-half of medical men and the balance of practical laymen, would be of incalculable benefit to our city. At present fevers may rage and epidemics swoop down upon us, doing their deadly work, and we are powerless, This *‘trusting in Providence,” and refusing to use the powers we ourselves are possessed of, is ridiculous and criminal. It is tobe hoped that prompt and vigorous etfort on the part of our people will remedy the present deplorable state of affairs.

Yours,

July 27. HEALTH.
