Mr. Ronatp J. McInryre, of Millcove, has fallen ameng thieves, or rather the thieves have fallen upon him. On two separate mar- ket day's recently, while absent in the city, Mr. McIntyre was levied upon. On one oc- easion two stacks of hay were carried off and on another a stack of oats. The stacks of hay would amount to about five tons, and the stack of oats would thresh about two hundred bushels. The thieves considerately left the farm, but will probably return for it some other market day. We hope that Mr. Mc- Intyre will ferret out the guilty parties and bring them to justice.

Tue benefit concert and entertainment in aidof Miss Sartlett, was very creditable and successful. The hall was crowded, and enthusiastic appreciation was manifested. The Artillery Band and the choirs of Zion and the Baptist congregations supplied very fine in- strumental and vocal music. Miss Knight's solo was perhaps the best she has rendered ; and Miss Fowle sang her first solo in public 80 sweetly that she charmed the audience, and proved that ber voice is one to be cultivated. Phe vocal duet by Miss Scott and Miss Hughes was very good, indeed; and Messrs. Knight and Walsh cach gave an excellent solo. Mr. Fletcher's cornet solo was capital ; and the readings by Miss Ellen Lawson and Mr. T. A. LePage were highly appreciated. One of the best pieces of the evening was the cornet duet by Messrs.

OMITISH PARLIAMENT.
An
IRISH AFFAIRS DISCUSSED,
—_—
i Lonpox, March 238.
_ There was an all-night sitting of Par- liament which continued until noon to-day. The Parnellites obstructed the passing of jthe Civil Service Bill. When the House 're-assembled to-night, Hon. Mr. Smith, the Government leader in the House, moved that the bill for amendment of the crimi- | nal law in Ireland have precedence over all orders of the day. He said that Ireland was in a state of disorganization and the Government were bound to act wider a sense of public duty, particularly when they found juries in that country intimi- dated and notorious criminals, whose deeds were inimicable to the existence of society, getting off scot free. Referring to the ) #mendment, of which notice was given last night by Mr. John Morley, rejecting the declaration of urgency for the Govern- ment’s bill, he reminded the House how Gladstone resisted the adoption of similar amendments in 1881. The position of the Government now was the same as that of Mr. Gladstone’s Government then. The Government's Land Bill would, he said, be in two parts—one would be in- troduced immediately, and the other be the land purchase bill—of wide scope. Both measures, he declared,would be found to be framed on the principles of honesty and
|
justice. The Speaker thought the Government could not hope that any measure framed on these lines would
satisfy the Irish National League which, he said, was an Apostolic succession of the Land League, and was the cause of all disorganization and terrorism prevailing in Ireland. He hoped the House would speedily adopt the Government's measures. If it did not adopt them the Government would be compelled to ask the opinion of the country to either confirm their policy or relieve them of the responsibility of the Government.
John Morley, in moving the rejection of the motion of urgency, denied absolutely Smith's assertions as to the lawless condi- tion of Ireland, and demanded that the Government give comparative statistics of crime in Ireland, which, he said, would show that beyond a very narrow area the country had seldom been quieter than it is now. The Government’s proposed Restric- tive Legislation would, he argued, only aggravate such evils as existed, and would weaken and spoil whatever remedies they had in store from the Land Commission. He declared that the secret and cause of the combination among thé people was the inability of the tenants to pay the excessive rents demanded. It had been shown that
the Irish landlords had combined against their tenants, and that their habits of extravagance in
emulation of the richer landlords of Eng- land, with system of rack rent—no matter how hard the tenants strive to meet the rents, the wretched landlords system crush- ed them. The coercion proposals of the Government appeared, he said, to be based upon the idea that the people of Ireland were indolent and dishonest. These who knew them had a very different conception of their character. He believed them te be hovest, hard working and truthful. He could only regard the bill as a measure designed to enable the _—land- lords to exact exorbitant rents. The tenants were to be deprived of the power of combining against the extortion of the landlords, while the landlords were left free to follow their own plan of cam- paign, which was more immoral and more deserving of being called a swindle than was the plan of the tenants. Some land agents attempted to coerce the tenants into buying under the Ashbourne Act, dictating terms of purchase and threatenig to evict unless the tenants consented. Yet the Government demanded urgency for # Hill giving such men power to force tenants to pay an unreasonable rent or to purchase at an unreasonable price, Behind the [il lay another proposal that the British tax payer be security if the coercion of the tenants failed to satisfy the landlords. This was Irish history over again. Moral wrongs pressing upon a suffering people without a legal remedy. Then illegal acts to secure something like moral rights; then coercion driving to just disconteut under the surface and exciting fiercer discontent. Their wisest policy Was, in his opinion, re- medial legislation, which would destroy the rvots of discontent. In1881, when the coercion bill passed, the number of evic- tions rose enormously. He doubted whether the excessive penalties of the 18th century did more injury to Ireland than did the agrarian laws of the present cen- tury. The resort of the Government was, however, still the never failing poisonous remedy of cvercion.
Mr. Balfour accused Mr. Morley of bestowing adverse criticism jand invectives upon @ measure that was not yet known. Mr. Gladstone in 1881 tuld the House to consider not only the amount of crime, but its character and what it was aimed at. The Bill has been forced upon the Govern- ment because the present current of crime was aimed at the subversion of the laws which are the basis of order. Referring to the land legislation of the late Govern- ment, he characterized it as a humilating failure. The Land Bill about being in- troduced would, Mr. Balfour said, work far smoother than the act of 1881, and would give equitable relief to the tenants. He wou!? not pretend by the measure to solve the land question. The only solution of that was the great measure dealing with Land Purchase which the Government was ready to introduce when the Opposi- tion was prepared to receive it. In_ the meantime, what chance was there of the restoration of the sanctity of contracts ov respect for law in Ireland unless the | Govermmgut was able to enforce the law? , What hbpe was for any

parchase if, at the bidding of the League, a solemn compact, entered into under the | legislation of 1881, was to be deliberately ‘broken? If Parliament suffered that com- pact to be set at naught, a more important and serious compact of the settlement of the land difficulty might be broken also. Every man who wished to stop short of separation would, he said, be perfectly mad if he followed the pelicy of Morley. Let the Government have power to vindicate the existing law, and then respect for future legislation would be ensured.
A Dastardly Act.
A BOMB THROWN Through a Broken Window.
The Building Damaged.
QuEsEec, March 22.
The city is all excitement over a dastard- ly attempt to destroy human life. While the French portion of the Salvation Army were worshipping in their Hall to-night, some person threw a bomb into their Hall through a broken window. The bomb ex- ploded almost immediately, and com- pletely wrecked the front of the building. The first meeting had just closed when the explosion occurred and but a few persons were present, outside of the staff. No persons were killed but two or three were seriously injured. It seems miraculous that all the inmates were not killed. The dastards that concocted and carried out the hellish plot are believed t be young men belonging to a higher class of society, who made themselves very con- spicuous in the riots waged against these defenceless women when they first arrived.
The Fmperor’s Birthday. Beruin, March 22,
The 90th anniversary of Emperor Wil- liam’s birth was ushered in by pealing of joy bells in all the churches and in, the tower of the town hall. The city is deco- rated as it never was before. Prince Bismarck has assured Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria Hungary, who is here representing his father at the Emper- or’s celebration, that Germany’s foreign policy is pacific, that peace is assured for 1887, and that there is no cause for dis- quietudé in either east or west.
