LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL’S ADDRESS TO BIRMIAGHAM ELECTORS.—AN OUTLINE OF PARTY POLITICS
ee ee
The full text of Lord Randolph Church- ill’s address to the electors of the Central division of Birmingham is as follows :—
GENTLEMEN,—The time is near when you will | be called upon to express your judgment on the | past and your desires for the future. Twoschools |of political thought Strive against each other to | win your confidence. ‘The one, composed of those
who, having had undertheir complete control the government of the empire from May, 1880,
until June, 1885, are unable to justify their claims | 'upon you by any record of foreign, or colonial, or jhotwe achievement, but, contenting themselves
i with incomplete and misleading extenuation of
‘acknowledged failure, seek to attract you by a ‘renewal of promises, and even bribes, which
‘bitter experience has shown they have neither} the capacity nor the strength to fulfil. The other,
|whose views I share, and whose policy I wili , endeavor soon, as best I may, personally to uphold ;among you,
APPEALS TO THE ELECTORAL BODY
in Great Britain and Ireland to confirm the ad- |yerse judgment pronounced on the 9th of June jagainst Mr. Gladstone’s administration by the Parliament which in a few weeks will be dis- solved. That judgment, striking and wide- | reaching as it was in its immediate results, was ‘literally wrung from a House of Commons, the ' majority of which would have been only too glad to continue their support of Mr. Gladstone had it not been for the irresistible influence of popular |discontent, excited by various causes—Irish troubles, colonial losses, Indian dangers, costly | wars, fruitless secrifices of many heroes, financial ' excesses, Parliamentary impotence, imperilled in- dustries, commercial and agricultural depression, growing greater and more alarming year iby year. Ail this was expressed by ‘the action of the House of Commons on ‘the 9th of June. Mr, Gladstone’s Government, the author of these many and long continued cis asters, fell; that Government in 188080 popular, so powerful, with such immeasurable opportuni- | ties for promoting the peace, progress and pros- perity of the people, fell,i\and not a voice was |raised, either in Parliament or the country, of jsympathy for the vanguished, or of mourning ‘over their fail. Mr. Bright will request of you to { contribute to restore to power that most unlucky jadministration. Tothis end will be directed all |the powers or his unrivalled oratory, his simple | but forcible invective, his personal position and jexperience. Bunt very little of patriotism, very | little of self interest, very little of recollection, | reflection, and caleulation will compel you to re- jmain outside the influence of that persuasive | Voice. The Briish
EMPIRE IS GREAT AND POW®RFUL | from the character of its people, the extent of its | dominion, and the varied nature of its resources. More than all other Western nations, we can afford to indulge ourseives in experiment and in- | deed, caprice, as regards our system of Govern- {ment on the direction of our home and imperial policy. But there are limits even to the strenrth ; of ihe British Empire, and a repetition of the | policy of the last five years will, without doubt, j transgress those limits. Yet such will be the in- / evitable consequence of a restoration to office of | the Liberal party, as that party is at present con- istitnuted. The old divisions, the irreconcileable | differenees, personal and political, which all the ascendancy of Mr. Gladstone was unable to com- pose, much less conceal, while he was Prime Minister, Which were the chief cause of the fail- ure of his administration, are now blasting :forth most fiercely, and Mr. Gladstone, with all hon- esty, Warns you that his controlling hand wil) be stretched forth only for a little time. To this party, which even hatred of the Tories cannot ‘decently unite, which comes before you with such a past, you will be asked to commit for another six years perchance the destinies of the Empire. You cannot yield to this appeal. The policy of the Tory party is before you :—
TO REGAIN THE FRIENDSHIP
of the European powers which prejudice, pre- sumption, and poltroonery had all but forfeiied; and to use that friendship so as to mainiain effectually the united European action by which alone peace and liberties of the people of the con- tinent and of these islands can be secured and developed; to envolve from the region of senti- ment such forces as may enable the mother country to
TIGHTEN THE BONDS OF UNION
bet ween herself and our colonies, and to rear on a practical and permanent basis, for defensive and commercial purposes, that Imperial federation of the subjects of the Queen, which many wise and far-secing minds regard as essential to the erpetuation of our power; to concilitate by equal aws and by just and firm administration our Irish brethern, now much and irritated and estranged so that the Union which nature as well as policy, has effected, may forall time endure ; to place, by material provisions and con- structions, the security of our Indian dependency beyond the influence of panic, alarm, or even anxiety, and simultaneously, by careful parlia- mentary enquiry, to ascertain how we may most safely and most speedily bring to the strengthen- ing of our Government ali that is high and good of the traditions, the intellects, and the aspira- tions of the native races; to give to our rural and agricultura] population that machinery of self- government which has been of advantage to our great towns ; to strive, as far as the laws of poli- tical economy may permit, to multiply the number of freeholders and occupiers; to utilize the powers of the House of Commons, in recent years almost forgotten, so as either to effect finan- cial retrenchment and departmental reform, or else to make sure that the present ex- penditure of the people’s money is justifiable and thrifty ;to develop still further the efliciency of Parliament by alterations in its method of trans- acting business and in its hour of labor; to rescore yublic confidence, to revive commercial enterprise vy a patient continuance of good and prudent ad- ministration: in a word, to govern the British Enipire by the light of common sense. That this is the policy of the Tory party. Measures are now recommended to you by your opponents which the Tory partywill not only not attempt to carry out, but whica I hopejand believe, they
WILL ALWAYS RESOLUTELY OPPOSE.
They are the dismemberment of the Empire, under the guise of national councils, the abolition of the House of Lords, the disestablishment Of the Church and the appropriation of its endowment
to the support of irrejligious education, the compulsory acquisition y local bodies of landed estates for the purpose of arbitrary
division, the wholesale plunder of all who have acquired properties, great or small, by thrift or by inheritance, under the names of “ransom” and of “graduated taxation.” These and other sithilar projects, if they are decided by the nation to be wise and prudent, I freely admit must be contided to the hands of Mr. Chamberlain and his friends. [ will have none of them, for I know that they mean political chaos and gocial ruin. Such, gentlemen, are to my mind, the circumstances of the time, as far as they can be convenientiy and concisely summarized in an election address, No one can be more convinced thanI am that I should be guilty of intolerable presumption if I based my candidature for the central division of Birmingham on any other ground than the truth of the political principles Ihave endeavored in this document to set forth ; moreover, lam pro- foundly aware that, from: many causes, some of them physical, [ bave fecbly and inadequately served in the House of Commons, MY OPPONENT
has the immense advantage of long-established possession, amounting in the minds of some almost to prescriptive right; he is further sup- ported bya highly (perbaps too highly) finished political organization. But the experience of the past and the essential truth of the principles which I will endeavour to sustain may, in all probability, outweigh these considerable forces.
he people, in the widest acceptance of the ex- pression, are now, for the first time in the history of England, cailed upon to decide and define their fu:ure. If they are guided by reflection and knowledge, they cannot err. But if, unmindful of the last five years, they recur, like the constituencies in 1880, for Government and _ for policy to those who have so misled them and be- trayed them, I, in commen with the party with which for tweive years I have acted wiil patiently accept their judgment: but history will mourn and will wonder long at the blindness and the folly, aye, even the insanity, of 2 people, who call- ed to the more free and ——— enjoyment of their ancient liberties, dcliberately, and in spite of warning, writ large and full, flung away a
riceless heritage, and consigned tg the grave of he past a great and a glorious Empire.
Four Thousand Smallpox Cases.
THE TERRIBLE SCOURGE OVER MONTREAL—A ACCOMMODATION,
THAT IS 8\.1 EPING LACK OF HOSPITAL
The mortality from smallpox in Montreal and adjoining municipalities on Saturday was 40, and on Sunday 50. There were 124 new cases reported. The deaths for the week ending the Ist inst. were 334—a Gecrease of 9 a8 compared with the pre- ceding week. The new cases reported number 476, being an increase of 10. The total number of deaths for the month of October was 1,652, and new cases 1 945.
The following is a complete return :—

The deaths since the outbreak of the epidemic number 2,661, as will be seen by the following; April, 2; May, 12; June, 22; July, 84; August, 212; September, 697; October, 1,632. Total, 2,661.
These are terrib!e figures to contemplate at the very beginning of winter, witu snow and a hard frost on the ground, which in- variably increases the epidemic. The proa- pects are by no means hopeful for the rid- dance of the scourge, at least during the winter months, as, whilst there are ne.r'y four thousand iil of smallpox in cver 1,200 houses in Montreal, there is only hospital accommodation for 400
aticnts, with from 60 to 80 new cases re- ported to the authorities daily. The health authorities do not appear to possess enough ability to properly combat the epidemic. A proposition has been been brought before the citizens’ committee as to the expediency of bringing from Boston, New York or Philadelphia, some eminent man who is a specialist in sanitary matters, and who has a thorough knowledge of all that concerns smallpox.
So >< <a - — The N. P.
A PRACTICAL example of the benefits con- ferred upon the working man by the National Policy and its supporters, was afforded the employees in Messrs. James Harris & Co.'s foundry on Saturday night, when a reduction of ton per cent. was made in the wages of all those employed abont the premises, Coming so 300n after the recent election, the i!!ustra- tion is all the :aore forcible.—Globe.
Yesterday afternoon a Sun reporter cal!- ed at the establishment of James Harris & Co., to ascertain just what justification there was for the publication of sach a paragraph as the above, [t was learned that the 10 per cent. reduction is nothing more than is made by the firm every winter, and in the spring the wages are again put
back to the old figures. The firm have about 270 workmen employed at their foundry avd rolling mills. An _ op- portunity offered a short time ago
for the firm to secure the contract for constructing a number of cars ata certain
price, and they considered it better for both themselves and their workmen to make a slight reduction and take the contract than let the work be
be given to Americans. But forthe N. P. the same contract would not have come to St. John. For come years it has been the custom of Messrs. Harris & Co, to not only reduce the wages 10 per cent. during the winter months, but also shorten the hours of work to three-quarter time, but this winter the firm have placed four electric lights in their establishment and will run full time all winter.—St. John Sun. a The Chatham, N. B., World contains a description of the pulp and paper mill to be erected in that town. The mill ‘‘wili be the largest in Canada,” it is declared.
The buildings, of which there are to be three, will form the letter H, the dimen- sions deing 254 x 49 feet, 268 x 69 feet,
and 84x 114 feet, the first two to be two stories and the latter three. They will be of brick with foundatiens of freestone masonry. The sill is to be completed next summer. Over two million brick will be required for it, of which nearly one-third have been manufactured in Miramichi. rE 2 °C —
The climate of New York is telling on the Egyptian obelisk brought over some years ago and set up in Central Park. The stone is badly chipped in many places and otherwise shows signs of decay. At first this was thought to be due to the effects of the atmosphere and the gasses produced by the smoke overhanging the city. But fuller investigation shows that the trouble is due to frost, water soaking into the pores of the stone and then expanding when frozen. Severe! scientists have been consulted in the matter, none of whom can suggest a remedy for what promises soon to seriously affect a most interesting historical monument.
ne = Truly, the way of the transgressor is hard. When James D. Fish, ex-President
of the Marine Bank, of New York, who was brought from Auburn Prison as a wit- ness against Ferdinard Ward, was entering the Murray Hill hotel in charge of the oflicers, a hearse, followed by a single car- riage, passed him, going to the Grand Central Depot. Inthe carriage Mr. Fish saw his daughter in deep mourning. In the hearse was the corpse of his youngest son—his favorite child— who had died on the previous Saturday at New Orleans. It was a sad recognition.
