Party Organization,

Che more thorongh and complete or ganization ot the Liberal-Conservative Party in Queen's County is a gratifying

circumstance; and if the large body of |

vyeomanry assembled in Scott's Hall. yesterday, and the active and capable office bearers selected are good signs,it is likely to be very successful. The plan

the orgamization was submitted by Dr. Jeakins, M. P., and it seems to bea well suited to the the party. It will alford a means ef acting promptly, vigorous y and unitedly upon the occurrence of elections or other poli- crisis. It is undoubted that the Grits of the Province at the last general election hada decided advan tage in their superior organization; but they will not, if the Liberal Conserva tive Party be true to itself, and if its officers do their duty. obtain a like advautage again. .

measure. Clearly the first duty of the citizeas—a duty which lies right before ihem—is, if possible, to obtain a Maver and Councillors who are good, energetic, business men.

lt will readily be admitted that the owners of houses and lots in the town have some cause for their complaint. Tie mav who has a vacant lot of land or a vacaut house yielding ro rent whatever finds it hard to be obliged to pay a tax just as heavy as that of his neighbor

whose lands and houses are ylelding an

income, and a_ distinction between the two might fairly be drawn. But it

is Upon real estate that the largest pro- portion of the tax must be imposed. If the lnodlord cannot obtain from the tenant the amount of the tax, it is use- iess for the ecrporation to attempt to do so. <Asarule, landlords are men who look keenly after their own interests, and they are not likely, if they can help it, to pay the tevants tax without having iit recouped to them. If they cannot help it, they had better pay the tax first thao Jast, aud so save interest on over- dravn accounts at the banks. The ex- perience of the corporation in past years wheu real estate was not liable for the tax, and when thousands of dollars were lost every year by reason of the poverty or dishonesty of occupiers, warns us not to go back to the old system. We must look at this from the point of view of the corporation and not merely from that of the landlords.

It seems to us, however, that the amount obtained by the levy on real estate might well be supplemented from a greater number of sources than it is at present. In mauy other cities the young menu who are not burdened with property ind families pay a contribution of four or five dollars each a year. Here they pay uothiog. A thousand dollars obtained from them every year would materially aid in keeping up our sidewalks and streets which are just now io a dis-

graceful state. It is but fair that the young mea of the city should bear their share of civic burdens, and the

majority of them can much better afford than the bulk of those who have to bear it for them.

“The Times*—1785-1885.

On the ist of January the Times, of London, eutered upon the hundredth year of its existence. It is true that the great journal, at the time of its birth, was not kuown by its present title, yet the paper is the direct descendant of Lhe Daily Universal Register, started by the ente:prisivg prister, John Walter, whose name aud family have ever siuce been connected with the Times. In an age “f anniversaries, when institutions, cities and men are daily seizing the opportunity of giving themselves up to the celebration of some event marking their existeace, it is fitting that the jour- nal which bas played so large a part in the expression of English opinion should have its centenary. Nor is the occasion au ordinary ove, for the mind finds much to dwell upon as we reflect that the Times owed its appearance, and, in a measure, its subsequent growth, to an experiment of a purely mechanical nature, and would never have seen the light were it not for the accidental cir- cumstance of giving publicity te a new system Of printing

DAILY DXAMINER, JAN

| Sagacity in guaging the state of the pub-| system

ilic miud and the tastes of its readers, give it a power to lead those who peruse it to its own mode of thinking, some- times in spite of themselves. And, in discussing its merits, we should not omit to note the praiseworthy efforts the Times has made on several occasions in its career, in removing evils and sugyest ing remedies.

John Walter, the originator of the journal, was a practical printer,—and for years the office which he controlled, published the reports of the Board of |Customs. These official publications would appear as bulky and uninterested 'o-amost readers of that age, as blue books are to ourselves, and their produc- tion involved an amount of labor, quite out of proportion to their utility, Wal- ter, in order to lessen the work of his

ing which he called the ‘logographie man- ner of printing.’ eventually broke down, from the mere fact of its unwieldiness, but it first led to

the work, which came out as The Daily Universal iegister on the Ist Janu- ary, 1785. All visitors to London, in default of other opportunities, will see a copy of this sheet in the window of the pickle shop of Burgess & Sons, in the great thoroughfare, the Strand. It las no merit, but that it was printed by the system Walter invented. But Walter was a man of sanguine temperament, aud he soon found that but little effort would make what he originally intended aa a specimen of work, a daily newsletter. He went assiduously to work, and in a short time the Register, became as much a newspaper as the Morning Chronicle, the Herald, aud tue Morning Post. and the other broadsides appearing in London in those days. [t contained no leading articles, and, indeed, the other papers did not evince auv desire or tendency to give editorials. Short and pithy scraps of news, containing little or no comment on passing events, were the distinguished features of its pages. Morcover, the leading article—as we kuow it—is but a little over a century old, had the world ot letters ouly recently celebrated the cen- tenary of the death of the man, who, among Other remarkable labors, was the first to open an editorial. Dr. Samuel Johnson it was who wrote the first original article that ever appeared in auy newspaper, (magaziues are to be ex- cepted) andit was published in john Newberry’s paper the Universal Chron- icleand Weekly Gazette iu 1785, and re- published some time afterwards in his own magazine the /dler.

It was not to be supposed that the opening years of the ‘‘paper” should not be clouded, for like all new ventures it met with great opposition—but it over- came them all, sod although even the Government of the day impeded it in its communications with different parts of the world, it triumphed over every ob- stacle thrown iu its way, and daily in- creased in circulation.

On the 135th of Janyary, 1788, it ad- opted the title of The Times, and Jobn Walter, in te issue of that date explains his reason for altering the name of his journal. He tells bis readers how the name Universal Register has been injuri- ous to his newspaper—as injurious in- deed as Tristram was te Mr, Shandy’s sou” —how it has suffered from universal casualitics like Tristram,” “arising trom its name, which on i's introduction, was immediately curtailed of its fair propcr- tion by all who called for it---the word Universal being universally omitted, and the word Register being only retained.” This was a serious matter, for there were numerous Registers in the maga- zines---making it difficult for those who called for his Register at the coeftee houses to be supplied with the right one. There was the Matrimonial Register, &c., all of which he looked upon as interlop- ers. Ile theu proceeds : The Times what 4 monstrous pame, ‘Gravted— for the 7imes is a many-headed monster that speakes with a hundred tongues avd displays a thousand characters, and, in the course of its transitions in life, as- sumes innumerable shapes and humors.” ‘ + + he political “head of the Times, like that of James the Roman Deity, is double-faced, with one counten- ance it will smile continually on the friends of Old England, and with the others, will frown incessantly on her enemies.” How patriotic he is and what spirit he displays. Of his con- cluding remarks, po body who knows avythivg of journalism, will gainsay the justice, for in the province of Parlia- mentary reporting the Times is facile princeps. His words are :--- “On the Parliamentary head every communi- cation that ability and industry can pro- duce may be expected. ‘To this great national object, the Times will be most sedulously attentive, most accurately cor- rect, and strictly impartial in its re- porte.

The jourval can also lay claim to being the first ever printed by machinery worked by steam, and of this fact it is not a little proud, and in its issue of the , 29th July, 1847, a fall account of the

|

'eveut is given, detailing the difficulties and disappointments encountered by its founder iv bringing about this important change Indeed, the presence of mind of Walter, and those of his colleagues who were in his confidence only pre-

these colums, devised a system of print. |

‘improving on the original, and with the vssistavee of Mr. Applegorth and Mr. Cowper, the 7imes came to be printed at the rate of 8,000 copies per hour. About thirty years ago or pe haps more, Robert Hoe (who died last September) ‘entered into negotiations with the authorities of Printiug House Square, ‘and the result was the adopticn of three of his presses which worked off 7,000 copies per hour, printed on both sides. ‘The present Mr. Walter, with the aid of his able manager, Mr. Macdonald re- ‘cently devised presses, at a cost of £50000, which can beat this, and are capable of turning off 24,000 copies an hour. They are the “ Walter” presses at present in use in the 7%mes office.

| The literary staff of the Times has | not been composed of men eminent as

men, and expedite the publication of authors in any oiher sense than that

‘they write for that jourval, and for it ‘alone. They were not, as a rule, mev ‘whose works had been distinguished in the world of letters outside the Zimes. They were men whose fame rests ‘simply on the fact that they wrote only forthe Z’imes. There was Dr. Stoddart, ‘who, in the days before the peace of 1815, had used his pen with such sting- ing effect against the great Napoleon whom he styled ‘‘the Corsican monster,” that his services had at last to be dis- continued fer fear of the Emperor gaiu- ing some loophole in English law, whereby, although a foreigner, he might succeed jn prosecuting the journal for slander. ‘Then there came Alexander and the bibulously inspired Thomas Barnes Next there followed Colonel Sterling, *‘the thynderer,” an any but endearing diminutive applied originally to himself alone for the measured tone of his articles, but since applied to the Times itself. He was succeeded by Mr. Delane, the most accomplished gentle- man and successful editor of them all. His unaffected humility and the love of retirement, are proverbial iu Printing House Square. “Pray let me remain at home in the shabby little house I have oceupied for the last thirty years, and Where my anxious desire has always been to avoid becoming a celebrity,” are the words he writes to Edmund Yates from Sergeaat’s Inn, in a letter declining av invitation to be ‘interviewed’ for the purpose of being made the subject of an article in the World. ‘Leave me in my obscurity, dear Mr. Yates, and I shall ever be your debtor.”

Mr. Thomas Chenery, the Oriental Scholar, wes the next editor. He was a man of large scholarjy attainments, and had been connected with the 7imesin one capacity or another for twenty years prior to his assuming the reins of com- mand. He died on the 11th of last February, aud the present writer had the privilege of following his remains to their last resting place in Brompton Cemetery. The funeral procession, al- though not anoounced in apy extra- ordinary Manuer--wag Certainly one of the largest that ever passed through London's busy streets, and the numerous carriages that joined it on the route testified to the respect that followed one of the leaders of the Fourth Estate, to the silent grave.

Mr. Buckle, the presevt editor, is the youngest man that has ever set in the chair. In talent and ability he is, in no wise inferior to his prececessors, and under his guidance there seems so reason to doubt that the Zimes will con- tinue to hold its unique position among the many journals of the United King- dom.

The 7imes, as has been said, deserves well in many respects—but there is ove in which no praise cau be too much, and that isthe steadiness of purpose it has ever evinced in its efforts at removing what it considers anevil, or in seeking io auticipate the effects of dangers which its sagacity has espied. There is, in- deed, no means of estimating the good it has rendered in this particular, and it would be hard to say how much bevefit the Bank of England alone bas derived from jts outspoken counsels at times when the action ot the Disectors of that institution Would, ualess warped, have involved serious consequences to them- selves and to the country itself. This is an evidence of its power, which speaks volumes for its fearlessness of purpose, iis integrity, avd its courage. The marble tablet which may be seen over the principal door of the offices in Print- ing Honse Square, is but the record of one instance of ils sagacious foresight avd impartial dealing.

As a property the Zimes may be con- sidered very lucrative, its value being estimated st over £300,000, and its annual profits not less than £60,000. The proprietorship consists of sixteen shareholders, of which Mr. Walter holds vine shares. It is said that over 200 persons are employed on the premises, and of these over 80 are compositors. ‘The Times is printed on the finest paper, made at its own mills at Taverham, io Norfolk, aud it may be conjectured, without much fear of contradiction, that the proprietors have some interest in Mesers. Wrigley & Sons’ mills, as they had in former years in a concern of which Mr. Delane was manager, for frequently they use paper made by that firm when their own runs short. ‘The geueral size ot the Zimes is 16 pages, but it often reaches 20, when an extra half sheet is given. lis price is 3d., and vn the lst

It may not be out of place to mention | that with the year that has just closed, there passed away & familar figure, whose being was a part of the Times office. Mr. Charles Ross, whose age coincided with the number of years in the century, died on the 6th of last Decem-~ ber. For sixty-three yearshe was on the parliamentary staff of the Times re- porters. He took his place in the gal- lery of the old House of Commons, on a Suudsy. the day on which George III died in 1820, when a session was held on that day. He rctired from the position as chiet of the reporting staff in Decem- ber 1883, having become grey ia the service of the Walter's; A great stickler at propriety of expression in reporting, and without a tender love for the good old times, Mr. Ross was nevertheless a gentlemun, who did not close his eyes to the progress of the hour, and especially in the department over which he had control. Though} new men and new modes, it was his fate to encounter in the declining years of his laborious life. Mr. Ross became an object of veneration by all his colleagues, who were respect fully attentive to his commands. He was, indeed, a link with the past, and the respect which the past demands from the present was always genenously extended tohim. His memory will always be held inthe 7imes office, and not the less so because he was so vehementa landa- tor temporis acti.

In concluding a notice of the Zines, it may be repeated that it is still the great journal of the world--not ouly in size but in thonght. It isthe paper which repre- sents the opinion of the best classes of Great Britain, and hence it is the most responsible jourval of our Mother Country. It is the most splendid record of what.passes in the world around us, and in it we should have to seek for the history of the period in which we have our being. It is at once a triumph of the press, aud a thing of beauty. Ad multos annos.

Another Sneer at Halifax.

A prize fight between two Boston pugi lists was arranged to take pl-ce in Halifax last week, bot was prevented by the antLorities. Dilating on the affair, the Herald says, ‘Boston sluggers must not build too much on the insinuation that Halifex is a wicked city.’ Well, if such a report hus ceached Boston, it 18 a gross libel on Halifax. [tis not a wicked city by a large majority, and n> pereen who has ever spent a week there would make such an impeachment. The fact is, however, it is too slow to be wicked, it is too slow to be any'hing but what it ie—an interesting, sleepy old town, ove hundred year behind the age. There is, probably no city in America that has had tiner natural advantages, not to mention the fact of its being a naval s'‘ation and strongly garrisoned town. But what doca it amount to—why the west is full o° towns with less than half the population and not one-tenth the capital, where there ‘s double the business push, life, energy and enterprise. Half the people of Halifax would not know they existed t-ut that they are remii ded of the fact two or three times a day by the cannon booming on the ci‘adel, and it is therefore a matter of supreme wonder how the authorities bec me awake to theirdu'y untila week or two after the fight had cecurred. The Herald concluded by saying that, unlike Boston, t ea'ce*men would not go themselves and, like the deg in the manger, would not allow others to go. Well, in this instance they are probably to be commend-d, but as this is the principle Halifax men follow in everything else, ii is little wonder the city is what i+ is. C-offat, the celebrated news- paper correspond nt, hit it about right when he wrote: ‘‘ Halifax is a city with a ‘great future—behind it.” — Canadian- Amerwan.

Death of the Bishop of London.

The Right Rev, John Jackson, D. D., bishop «f London, Eag., died suddenly on the 6th. John Jackson was a son of Henry Jackson, a merchant of Londor. He was born on Fobruarr 22, I8L!, and was edu- cated at Reading School under Dr. Valpy, whence» he proceeded to Pen brcke College, Oxford, whence he graduated in 1835, taking first-class honors, and gained the Deuyer theological prize. From 1836 till 1846 he was head master of the Proprievary school at Islington, and during part «f that time incombent of S*. James’, Nurswell Hill, ia the parish of Horney. He was appointed rector of St. James, Piccadilly, in 1846, chapiain to the Queen, in 1847, and canon of Bristol, in 1852; was a select preacher before the University of Oxford in 1845, 1850, 1862 and 1866, preached the Boyle lectures in Loi ton, in 1853, and on the death of Dr. Kaye, in that year, was made Bishop of Lincoln. On January 4, 1869, he was translated to the see of London, in succession to Dr. Tait, who had been raised to the primacy. Dr, Jackson was the author of some scrmons and charges, and of a popular pemphlet entitled ‘the Sinful- ness of Li'tle Sins.”

Chicago’s Armed Socialists.

The number of armed Socialists in Chi- cago is placed at 2,000. “There are three warlike rections zmong the Socialists of that city,” said one of the leaders on the Gch inst. ‘‘These sre the Lehr and Wehr Verein, the Bohemian Sharpshooters and the Jaeger Verein. When the law of 1879 went into feffect prohibiting them from parading in closed ranks with rifles, the Lehr and Wehr Verein had about 1,000 active members, beside 500 reserves. Since then the organization has been kept up, but secretly They drill now in halls, the lvecation of which is frequently changed. The Bohe- mian Sharpshooters are a splendidly drilled and armed body, and the same is true of the Jaeger Verein. If things go on in the way they have been going for some time. the threatened ovtbreak won't be far off. You may be sure of one thing—we’ll not stand idly by and see the workingmen shot iown in the streets like wild beasts, as was done once,”

Flogging Studente,

There is great excitement in Moscow over what appears to have been a very high-handed proceeding by the metropoli- tan Joannikins. The Archbishop of the diocese had seen symptons of rebellion on the part of the younger prierts and students ofthe Moscow Theol gical Seminary against certain harsh rules, which has just been es- tablished. The Archbishop was requested to come to the seminary and enforce obedience. He says that when he arrived on the scene he perceived nihilistic tend- encies. He promptly arrested twenty-three of the young men ard had them locked up in their own roome. Then he requested and obtained the loan of a detachment of soldiers from the garrison; had the prison- @ 8 broyght separately into his presence and had them all soundly flogged by the soldiers. ‘he frjends of the victims are clamouring to have the Archbishop alied to acc unt for h's conduct, !
