It is a case of the tail wagging the dog ; but the dog is beginning to see that he is not only losing fish, but is also making himself ridiculous. The forbear

ance of Capt. Scott and his cruisers (except

ing the Terror) has enabled the United

States fishermen to get out of the scrape

fishermen — without ruinous loss. ‘hey

natural products of the of both

countries need never have been abrogated,

Light Wanted. One of the best suggestions we have heard for some time is that electric lights

be placed in and about the railway station. There is always a crowd at the station when the train comes in and a strong light is required in the interests of the women as well as the men who congregate there. Trains are constantly being shunted after dark, and a strong light is required in the

interests of the yard-master and drivers.

Carriages throng the street in front of the station and the stronger the light placed

there the better. The nights are begin-

ning to be long and dark as fall comes on;

ard we trust that Mr. Coleman will give

this reasonable suggestion his early and

favorable consideration.

Information for the Millions.

Not the least important result of the Colonial and Indian exhibition has been the dissemination through the mother country of a mass of well compiled and well ar- ranged information concerning almost every colony in the Empire, as well India. Two great advantages in connection with these publications are that they have been prepared by persons who thoroughly understood the subjects of which they wrote, and that they are offered to the pub. lic ata price that places them within the reach of persons of the most moderate in- comes. Of a general character is ‘* Her Majesty's Colonies,” edited by Mr. A. J. R. Trendell, C. M. G.,—a revised edition fairly well known work. A second edition of the general catalogue of the ex- h bition has also been edited by Mr. ‘Tren- dell, and it contains pretty full accounts of all the colonies. The Times calls it a cheap shillings worth. Besides this general treatise each colony has its special hand- Some of these manuals are said to be substantial and attractive works. Vic- toria has am illustrated handbook, and the other Australian colonies and New Zealand are similarly though not so sumptuously > ipplied. Dr. Watt’s guide to the Indian court is commended. So also is the book on Canada, its history, productions and natural resources, prepared under the direction of the Minister of Agriculture. A like volume is devoted to the Cape of Good Hope. The West Indies and British Honduras have satisfactory guide books. Fiji is not forgotten, and Mr. Hamilton Lang's ‘“‘Hand-book to Cyprus” des- eribed as a model of conciseness method. In addition to works, the exhibition has led to of a number of veneral ; on the colonies, their resources, climate, people and prospects. These comprise not only the whole range of the British colonies, but also the French colonies, the New Hebrides, ete. The effect of this multifa- rious information must be to awaken new ideas in the people of Great Britain as to the extent and value of England’s foreign pos- Sessions.

To Resist Eviction.

The Dublin correspondent of the New York Herald, writing on the 26th, says : The struggle between the police and the tenants ousted in the evictions on the Mar juis of Clanricarde’s estate, near Woodford, continues to be the greatest topic here. I have just returned from a visit to the locality. Galway men, in America, may remember a little stream at the southeast corner of Galway, called Woodford River, which empties into the Shannon, where it forms the picturesque Lough Derg. Here the tenant Saunderson has barricaded his house With 50 men inside, they me- taphorically sing the Moody and Sankey song, **Hold the Fort.” * 1 found the place ilmost in a state of seige. In the country round about Woodford, for ?0 miles from the nearest railway station, the people form quite a primitive community, and scarcely

know anything of the theoretical views concerning evictions now being aired in the House of Commons. They are, however, practical people. They have ploughed the roadways leading to **Saunderson’s Fort,” as his house is

generaliy called. Near the house, trees, trunks and branches have been laid across This was done on the in- the bailiffs were

the appre vaches. stigation of a rumor that bringing a battering ram The bailiffs, however, cannot now come, because the people hav e destroyed the bridge over the Shannon, on the road from Portumna to Looscan. Near the latter place are thou- sands of people coming from Clare. The Limerick church bells are continually toll- ing. For miles along the road all strangers are looked on suspiciously, but as an Ameri- ean I needed no backing. Ballinsloe, to the northward, is a market town, and the headquarters of the Galway constabulary, where vuthorities are drafting more

spiked helmets are all the causeway—for really the whole district in a most excited and resolute condition. Seven hundred police really constitute a strong garrison at Portumna, between Woodford and Ballin

sloe. No soldiers are yet to be seen, but the authorities say that detachments are ready. Nearly twenty other tenants than

Saunderson expect evictions, and are also ready for a seige. All these have reclaimed improved land without the aid of Clanri-

The amount of rent due from all not $500. Saunderson liable for $60 a year, but the costs are now $90 against him. The police force is now be rycotted by the shopkeepers of Portumna and elsewhere, and with great difficulty the constabulary are getting food or drink ex- cept a little garden fruit and Shannon water. County InspectorO Brien uselessly threaten- ed the shopkeepers with billeting the police- men. The Sanderson case is regarded as a test one. I found that all had got the idea that the new government is going to use strong coercion, and think that a stand had better be made now, when supplies are in the houses fora fortnight. All the roads and principal places are picketed by the populace. Men who are working at the little harvesting will get due notice when

the storming of the fort begins. Some thought that Clanricarde might withdraw

his process, but the landlord dilemma is on him. If he surrenders the tenants every- where will take new courage. I think that very soon the conflict will begin, but it is not expected that the tenants will use fire- arms.

Mr. Giadstone on the Situation.

Mr. Gladstone’s recent pamphlet on the lrish question ends with a postscript, dated 22nd August, which is as follows: ‘* Since these pages were written the principal in- tentions of the ministers in respect to Ire- land has been announced. Statesmen who, in January, deemed coercive measures an absolute necessity, do not now propose them, although agrarian crime has rather increased and Ireland been perturbed,” so they said, “by the proposal of home rule.” This is a heavy blow to coercion and a marked sign of progress. I am concerned to say that on no other head do announce- ments supply any causes for congratulation. First—Large Lrish subjects, ripe for treat- ment, are to be referred to commission of inquiry. This is a policy, while the social order isin question, of almost indefinite lelay. Second—Moreover, while a com- mission is to inquire whether rates of judi- cial rents are or are not such as can be paid, the aid of law for levying present rents in November has been specially and emphati- cally promised. This isa marked discour- agement to remissions of rent and a power- ful stimulus to evictions. Third—A_ pro- .e:t has been sketched of imposing upon the state payment of all moneys required to meet the difference between these actual rents end what the land can fairly bear. This project is in principle radically bad, and it would be an act of rapine on the treasury of the country. Fourth—-Whereas the greatest evil of Ireland is that its magisterial and administrative systems are felt to be other than Irish, no proposal is made for reconstruction of what is known as Dublin castle government. Fifth—It is proposed to spend large sums of public money on public works of all kinds for the material development of Ireland under English authority and Dublin castle ad- ministration. This plan is (1) in the high- est degree wasteful; (2) it is unjust to British taxpayers; and (3) an obvious at- tempt to divert the Irish nation by pe- cuniary inducement from its honorable aim of national self-government, and will, as such, be resented. Sixth—The limitation ot local government in ireland to what may at this moment be desired for Great Britain is just to none of our nationalities, rests upon no recognized principle, and is especially an unjust limitation of the Irish national desire. Im my opinion such a policy for dealing with the Irish question ought not to be and cannot be adopted.”

Sad and Fatal Accident.

ee * Sister Eulalie, Superioress of the Imma- culate Academy, Newport, Ky., met with a shocking death on the ?8th. She was nearly convalescent from an attack of typhoid fever, and about 5 o’clock was tak- ing some medicine when a mosquito bar took fire, andina moment the bed was aflame. Sister Eulalie sprang out and tried to go out into the hall, but found the door locked, and in her fright she could not find the key. The occupants of the

Great Scott.

Srr,—Referring to Captain Scott's in- terview with the Editor of the Chronicle, I must say that Prinee Edward Islanders do not claim to own the tish, but do lay a claim to one and a quarter million dollars being their share of the fishery award, so ably handled (/) by one of our Queen’s County representatives, Mr. L. H. Davies; and the least that should be done in the interest of our fishermen is for Captain Scott to attend directly to his duty, ¢. e., protect the fish- eries around our coast in place of taking rest in the city of Halifax. Had he remain- ed in his own country, the probability is he would now be onthesuperannuation list and Captain Quigley of the Terror, (in name and nature) appointed to the position of Com-

mander of the Canadian Squadron—whereby we would be assured that our interests would be attended to.

Sir John and Big Bear.

The Toronto Mail’s special from Winni- peg says :—-** During Sir John Macdonald's visit to Stoney Mountain penitentiary on Monday, the great attraction, of course, was Big Bear, who was found weeding in the garden. The old Indian apparently did not know who his visitors were. Sir John attempted to have a little talk with him, and informed him of the death of Little Poplar. The old chief adopted a know-nothing look, and professed ignorance of the late defunct redskin. After Sir John had left a half-bged informed Big Bear of the character of his visitors. Thereupon the Indian approached Lady Macdonald and said that Little Poplar was his son-in- law, and he was very sorry to hear of his death. He also told her that she was a great lady, and that her husband was a great man. Having thus paved the way he implored her influence to secure his liberty. He stated that he had no idea of the power of the white men. He had thought the white men insignificant; but they had come up on him like mosquitoes,

and he was now satisfied that the Indians could not cope with them. He was desir- ous of living on peaceful terms with the

white men, and promised to do so if given his liberty.

Barbadoes,

The Island of Barbadoes is the most densely populated part of the earth. This island, with an area of 106,000 acres, con- tains a population of over 175,000 souls, that is to say, an average of no less than 1,054 people to each of its square miles of territory. The Chinese Province of Keang- su, which was at one time ignorantly imagined to be the most uncomfortably crowded district under the sun, contains but 850 moon-eyed celestials to the square mile, while East Flanders, in Belgium, the most thickly populated neighborhood in Europe, can boast of only 705 inhabitants to the square mile. Coming nearer home, Westchester County, New York, with a territory three times as large,has only four- sevenths as many people as are packed upon

this thronged, man-ridden Carribbee Island. If New York State were as _ thick-

ly settled as Barbadoes it would boast a population of 60,000,000. Of the 175,000 souls in this Island 9 per cent. are whites and 91 per cent. are blacks or of mixed blood.

An Alleged Miracle.

As a result of the pilgrimage to St. Anne ‘de Beaupre last week, Rev. Father Brunet of Ottawa, states that a miracle has been worked on one of his parishioners, a young girl of twenty years, named Mary Ann McGinty. She had been paralyzed in her legs for seven years, and for the last two years she was unable to move without crutches. On Wednesday morning she was carried to the holy shrine by two men and back again jto her seat. Afterwards Father Brunet saw her walking around the church smiling to her young companions, who were moved to tears in sympathy with her friends at pleasure in seeing her recovering the use of her limbs. She walked at first with hesitation, but later was walking well.

Length of Life in America.

Dr. Thomas 8. Sozinsky has been dis- cussing the vital condition of the people of the United States in the Medical and Surgical Reporter. He draws his figures from the United States census reports, and concludes that the people do not on an average live so long in the republic as in some other countries., During the census year it appears that of a hundred deaths reported, forty were of persons under five years of age, fifty-two were of persons under twenty, and only twenty-two were of persons over fifty. Only about ten per cent. survive their three-score and ten. Twenty-four per cent., or nearly a quarter of the deaths are of persons between twenty and fifty years. The showing is for the entire country. In the cities it was much worse. Under five years of age the proportion of deaths (reported) in the country at large was forty-three and seven-tenths per thou- sand of living population, while in the registration cities it was eighty-eight and four-tenths per thousand. In other words, the mortality of children under five years of age was about twice as great in the cities as in the average of the whole country.

In England and Wales 33 per cent. of the deaths are of persons over 45 years, | while in the States only 30 per cent. are of persons above forty-five. This difference in favor of the old country, with its crowd- ed population and very large class of very poor persons, is remarkable. From the facts stated Dr. Sozinsky concludes that the multiplied appliances and complex ways of lifein the republic do not make for health and long life. Adult life is too in- tense on this side the Atlantic; and the in- fant mortality in both the leading cities of Canada and the republic beside us is really alarining.

A Disastrous Record.

Galveston, the capital of Texas, has had an unusually hard lot, its record of disas- ters being a long one. Inthe summer of 1867 it was ravaged by slow fever, and in the fall of the same year a hurricane caused great destruction among its shipping. In 1871 it had a great fire, and in 1875 another furious storm. During the past twelve months the strike on the Colorado and Sante Fe railroad entailed a large loss on the city ; the great fire of November last swept away $1,500,000 worth of property, the boycott of the Mallory line of steam- ships damaged trade to the extent of $500, - 000; the strike on the Gould roads was far worse ; and last of all the recent storm destroyed property to the extent of about a quarter of a million. Truly the people of the city need the patience of Job.
