Ir is significant of the course of public n Great Britain that the press all the country has attacked John Bright the Imperial Federation Thus the Pall Mal! Gazette says :

wealths now under the British flag, may be excused if they regard Mr. Brights discourse as pernk us treason. Mr. Bright calmly employs all the tervor of his eloquence to ineite half-a-dozen great English-speaking communities, with the heritage of continents in their g to repudiate their connection with the British Crown. In other words, cut the p r, dismember the Empire, turn the ( ii lrift. and wreck the fairest chance the world has ever had of establishing a world-wide Federation of Peace.”

The M sunchester Gv urdian says:

‘Mr. Bright, it is generally thought, has made a serious mistake in denouncing Im. perial Federation because of the tendency of England to engage in wars with which Colon. ists have no concern. Statesmen of equal sta + who have n very much confidence i practical side of the subject applaud

That England and the va States which have sprung from her a ; rapidly drawn together by a community interests and race instincts more solid than written Constitutions or alliances is fortunately not a matter of con- jecture at all. It is an unmistakable fact,

and, in some respects, the most momentous fact in the political phenomena of our time.”

The London Times says:

‘‘Mr. Bright, as is well known, does not approve of Lmnpe rial Federation. He likes much better the other ‘ big job’ undertaken

by ‘that plucky young nobleman’ Lord Rose- of the House of Lords;

interest of our Colonies might be affected to a greater extent than Mr. Bright seems inclined to suppose. Our adversary might easily make a diversion by attacking some one or other of our Colonies—a bait which would be eagerly snapped at if England's power began to show signs of decay. We fancy that the Colonies themselves would be inclined to take a some- what broader view of their relationship to the Mother Country than is taken by Mr. Bright. As regards the tariff differences, they certain- ly constitute a serious stumbling-block in the way of most of the various schemes which have been propounded, and until they are dis- posed of it is not likely that Imperial Federa- tion will make much headway. But whether it comes or not, we shall always be able to rely on those common sentiments of kinship and friendship which Mr. Bright regards as the strongest link between ourselves and our Colonies.” The Northe rh Wh ig says ;

“He think, that an Imperial Federation of our Colonies with the United Kingdom would involve them in our wars. But how do they stand now? If we go to war with any of the Great Powers of Europe and Asia, our Colo- nies would necessarily be involved in those wars as part of the British Empire. An In- perial Federation does not add to this liability. it renders the liability less dangerous. Our foreign policy may, as Mr. Bright says, be stupid, and it may be foolish in our Colonies, as part of the Imperial Federation, to allow themselves to be involved in wars ten thou- sand miles away. But we must say, with all respect, that the United Kingdom, even in- dependently of our Colonies, cannot exist without a foreign policy of some kind, and that Colonies, whether part of an Imperial Federation or not, cannot free themselves from the risks of war incurred by the Mother Country without ceasing to be Colonies and becoming independent States. England, as the greatest capitalist in the world, and as the greatest naval Power, has really fostered her Colonies as a geguine mother. She has not been merely to them a callous step- mother.”

The Dundee Adveitizer says :

The more extensive the federation the great- er blessing to humanity, for federation implies a consciousness of common interests. The defective perception of common interests with reference to trade is, as Mr. Bright pointed out, the greatest barrier to a British federa- tion ; hut surely the champion of Free Trade does not thiak that when colonies of kinsfolk in diferent parts of the world have each an independent fiscal pelicy the exercise of their independence is a blessing to humanity.

Queen Square Garden.

Ir is pleasing to see the green grass on the enclosed plots in the Square —pleasing know thaat very little care and expense will keep the Square from relapsing into the wildness of years not long past. But it is desirable, and in the highest and best interests of the town, that the garden should be maintained in its beauty. To this end an organized effort ought to be made. We hope, therefore, that the neeting to be held in the Legislative Library at eleven o'clock on Friday next be well attended. We feel sure that ninety-nine every hundred of citizens would hke to see the garden a§ last year, strengthen Mr. Arthur Newbery’s hands to that end.

political speeches. But his enduring fame

will probably rest, for the most part, upon

his heroic efforts to boom Kansas. Only

the other day we received a pamphlet

adorned by the picture of his fine face and

figure, and setting forth in his orotund

English, the great advantages of Kansas as

a place of settlement. The land grabbers

and speculators of Kansas owe Mr. Blake a

great deal, and they take pains to show

that they appreciate the value of his ad-

vocacy.

—Lord Rosebery, Leader of the Imperial

Federal movement, will visit Canada im the

course of the present summer. He takes a

very practical view of the question, believ-

ing that Imperial unity can only come when

the empire is ready for it. He is decidedly

averse to forcing the question in any way

upon the colonies. The friends of the

movement in London are anxious for Lord

Rosebery to visit Canada and allay the fear that the movement implies any risk to

Canada’s present practically independent

control of her own commercial and political,

affairs.

— The question recently raised in the British House of Commons respecting the existence of foreign treaties precluding colonial discrimination in favor of Great Britain, is attracting attention outside of limited Fair Trade circles. A despatch to the Empire says that Mr. Octavius Morgan,

the Radical free-trader, who visited Canada last year, is now directing the government’s attention to the subject with a view to expedite the return, giving details of all the treaties standing in the way of recipro- eal concessions in one another’s favor by

Great Britain and her colonies.

—The Empire (Toronto) says :—‘** Mr. H. F. Coombs is the inventor and patentee of several useful improvements in life-boats and life-saving apparatus, but he generously declares his willingness to abandon, with- out fee or reward, any patent rights he now may have, if only legislation can be obtained whereby the needless loss of life at sea may be prevented.” The life-saving appliances referred to have been examined and approved by competent authorities ; but whether they, or others equally good, be adopted, it is at least certain that some- thing should be done to lessen the chances of disaster and death on our seas and great lakes. Several instances are given in the pamphlet of whole crews being lost within sight, and almost within hail, of light- houses ; but there is no need to enter into details; examples will readily occur to the memory of every reader, Shipowners may try to disguise the fact, but it remains a fact all the time, that our lakes and seas are sailed by only too of the many coffin- ships against which the warm-hearted, hot- headed Mr. Plimsoll waged such energetic war some years ago in the Imperial House of Commons.”

HE DAILY EXAMINER,

Archbishop Lynch.

Toronvo papers, received this morning, give the particulars concerning the illness and death of Archbishop Lynch. It appears that the lamented prelate had been actively engaged in the active work of his sacred ministry, and seemed to be in perfect health only a few days before he passed away. The Kmpire says: ~ The dead prelate was not known to be in better health for a number of years than on last Sunday, when he preaches at St. Michael's Cathedral. So peacefully did he pass away that the watchers thought he was going into a calm spell of repose. He died with a fervent blessing on his lips for those standing around—the two priests and a couple of students at the Palace.”

“The Archbishop,” continues the Hm- pire, ‘“‘ was one of the most kindly and considerate, and to his liberality of mind and generosity of heart Protestants, as well as Catholics, can bear ample testimony. His energy and capacity for work were un- bounded, and his zeal for the progress of his Church without limit. Regarded, how- ever, apart altogether from his Church con- nection, he was a man of’ great parts, ex- tensive learning and sound culture. His writings were always marked by deep thought and sound views, and were con- sidered by all parties as final utterances on his side of any question which he espoused, His love for his native land was boundless, and he championed the cause of Home

Rule with enthusiasm. Like all men of ardent temperament and deep con- victions, he was occasionally com-

mitted into talking on social questions as well as political, an attitude which did not seem for the time to be for the best inter- est of his Church and of himself personally; but his sound common sense and his con- sciousness of being in the right, together with the singular ability ot impressing others with the correctuess of his views, always bridged the temporary difficulty which his impetuous honesty of intention created. He found a scattered and im- poverished flock ; he created a compact and opulent community. He always struck at the root of an evil, and he never permitted a compromise with vice. While, however, he battled ceaselessly with wrong, he never allowed his judgment to be led astray. ‘‘He was a great man, good at many things, and now he has obtained this also— to be at rest.”

A heavy gale might topple them over with disastrous re- sults. lt appears that the insurance on the Baptist Church amounts to only $7,300—

$1,700 having been deducted from the policy. The Band of the 82nd Battalion lost

twenty-two sets of music books, the bass and snare drums and eymbals. Mr. Galbraith values the books at $206, the bass drum cost 25, the snare dram $9 and the cymbals $5.

Conductor Ryan takes this opportunity of returning his sincere thanks to the many kind friends who, under the most trying circumstances, saved his dwelling house from being destroyed by fire during his absence from home on the night of the 14th inst. 5

The dwelling house of Conductor Ryan, on Fitzroy Street, which was fortunately only blistered by the great heat, was in- sured for $1000 in the Liverpool, London and Globe, represented by R. R. Fitzger-

ald. ‘Two small buildings owned by Mr. Ryan and situated in the rear of the dwel- ling, were, however, destroyed. They

were valued at $100 and were not insured. There was a slight inaccuracy in Mr. McGregor’s statement as to_ the supposed origin of the fire in the Excelsior Rink, published yesterday. His theory 1s that the fire was either the work of an incendiary or was caused by spontaneous combustion from cotton waste saturated with skate oil used to clean skates while the building was occupied as a roller rink, previous to the winter of 1887, and which may have been left lying about the pre- mises.
