Editorial Notes.

—A writer in the Financial News, of London, descanta on the “Glut of Beef,” and doletully remarks that “ beet at 12c. per lb. is apparently going to be the last

straw on the unfortunate British farmer’s back.”

— The Toronto Week says: * Mr. Blake, we fear, has lost himself. He has ruined his own position as the mover of an enquiry into the causes of the re- bellion, a character in which he might have appeared with the greatest advan- tage to himself as well as with the great- est benefit to the country, and he has, we suspect, seriously compromised his party. If it is proclaimed that Liberal- ism in this country means an alliance, and an alliance too much resembling political vassalage, withthe aati-British feeling in Quebec and with Fenianism styling itself Home Rule, as well as with State Socialism and coercive morality, defections will speedily ensue.”

— Mr. Golden Smith, in The Week, takes a gloomy view of the situation ‘At Home.” He says :—

“Though Mr. Gladstone's scheme is still unre. vealed, there can be littie doubt as to its nature It is an Irish Parliament. If it were anything less than this—if it were merely a measure of local self-government, he would not be so anxious as heevidently is totack it toa measure of ex- propriation. He feels that it can pass the Lords only by the help of a great bribe administered to them as land owners. In the case of any but a highly religious statesman, the policy of offering the members of a national legislature a bribe for betraying the unity and greatness of their coun- try would hardly be deemed high prin d. The xrant of a separate Parliament to Ireland will, no doubt, be hedged around with all the elaborate restrictions which a mindas full of ingenuity as it is void of forecast can devise. But no one except Vir. Gladstone can imagine that men with whom agitation is a trade will cease to agitate when they have wrested from cowardice and weakness the larger part of their demand, and an immense fulcrum for the extortion of the rest. The re- strictions will be at once attacked. Before many years, perhaps before many months, are over, the national independence of Ireland will be pro- Claimed, and an application for recognition will he addressed not in vain to the demagogues of the United States.”

~The Radicals of England have been criticising closely the expenditures in connection with the Royal Palaces. Even the stables have been investigated by them. There is, it appears a stud-house at Hampton Court Palace, in connection with which Mr. Labouchre wanted to “now “where the foals nad gone,”—a question which suggests that the debit and credit sides of the accounts as laid before

arliament are not as explicit as they

ern

| might be. Mr. Leveson-Gower, speak ing for the Government,-explained~ that “the establishment was under the mavagement of the Master of the Horse, and as the hon. member was anxious to know what became of the foals which were reared there, he promised to make enquiry in order to see what was done with these animals.” The member for Northampton is a person not to be put off, as the Government seemed to think

_City..Council, ----

An emergency meeting of the City Couneil to consider the matter of the pro- posed water supply, was held this forenvon. His Worship Mayor Beer, His Honor the Recorder, all the Councillors and Mr, Turnbull, of Montreal were present. Councillor Douse moved and Councillor Morris seconded the following resolution :—

Whereas, A source of pare water supply is most important to the inhabitants of Charlotte-

town for domestic and other purposes, And Whereas, Various schemes have been

| it necessary to give him an assurance on the subject of his enquiry at once. That one-third of the house backed Mr. Labouchere up in his motion to reduce the grant to Royal Palaces by £8,274 is a fact of some significance.

—The waterworks tenders were to ‘have been received and opened to-day ; but the City Council met this forenoon and put the matter off for ten days. Their action is ‘“ratber peculiar.” The alleged cause is a question as to the expediency of obtaining the services of a sanitary engineer. But this was as apparent when the advertizements calling for tenders were first issued, as it is to- day. Strange that the Council didn’t consider the matter then; strange that they should at one hour's notice, order a postponement for ten days. In the first place their halting action has disappoint- ed and inconvenienced those who pre- pared themselves to tender uow,—one of whom (Mr. Turnbull) travelled a thousand miles in order that he might be here on this day. In the second place it will evidently be quite impossible to obtain the report of a competent sanitary engineer in the brief period of ten days! From what ever point of view it is cou- templated, the latest action of the City Council is unbasiness like and non- sensical ; and it will certainly reflect dis- credit upon the City. That it has been taken by Councillors who, a week or two ago, were talking loudiy in favor of waterworks by any means, is, however, not surprising to those who know them.

The Tory Party and Home Rule.

In a speech which he delivered at a han- quet given in the Crystal Palace in celebra- tion of the Conservative victories at Lam- beth, a solid phalanx of eight members of that party being returned at the general election, Lord Salisbury denied, in most positive terms, the statement that a home rule scheme had been, with his sanction, submitted to the late Cabinet. Lord Ash- bourne, in a letter to the Times, and Lord Randolph Churchill, in a epeech delivered at Manchester, disposed of the same charge. The Conservative leader has declared, with no uncertain sound, against disintegration in any form whatever. In concluding his speech, Lord Salisbury said that the true remedy for depressed industries, the first and indispensable condition of prosperity and _pro- gress, was stability. When there was mis- trust among the people of the Government and of each other there was sure to be danger to industry, to commerce and to enterprises,and no fear could be more peril- ous than that which was entertiined of the Government under which they lived. It was the duty of Conservatives, therefore, and of all good citizens, todo what they could to restore confidence between man and man, as thereby they would bring hope and happiness to hundreds and thousands of sufferimg homes, whose wel'-being was undermined hy radical and anarchic doc- trines. Where a policy of recklessness was pursued and the laws and institutions of the empire made a shifting quicksand, it was not likely that the depression from which all industries suffered would be alleviated, First, and above all, they must get rid of the curse of instability which, by creating distrust, discouraged all kinds of enter- prise and pressed most heavily on the poor,

islieniceipaidiiiibiaiasitadi tila ai S5 A Clever Swindler.

A clever swindle has been perpetrated on Toronto undertakers. A lady dressed in mourning called upon each and ordered a coffin for a stranger from New York, who had died in her house at Mimico. As she had forgotten her purse and wanted to telegraph to the friends of the deceased, could they oblige her with sufficent money to pay for it! Believing they had a fat job each obliged her, some with $5 and others with $10. The following day they drove out to measure the corpse and each found they had been swindled.

propesed, but the information possessed by the citizens thereon is very imperfect, and it is most desirable that the services of a competent Sani- | tary Engineer should be obtained, who, by his | report, wey set at rest the question which has ‘long troubled the mindsof our citizens as to the | source and expense and volume of suppiy.

And Whereas, A number of citizens recently | petitioned this Council for the appointment of | such Engineer.

Therefore Resolved, That before any agreement | is entered into by this Corporation with any Com- pany, communication be had with Col, Waring, of the U, S. Army, asking him his charge for visiting Charlottetown and making such report as is hereby desired ; and ; a

Further Resolved, That the time for receiving tenders by this Council for the service of hydrants be extended until such report be received, or until the 10th May. ;

Councillor Orabbe proposed and Council- lor Kelly seconded the following amend- ment :—

Resolved, Phat the time for receiving tenders for the supplying of hydrants be extended to the 10th April next, at noon. ae

The amendment on being put was carried on the following division :—

Ayes—-Crabbe, Kelly, T. A. McLean, A. A. McLean and Haszard.

Nays—Morris, Douse, Horne, McRae aud Curtis.

The Mayor gave his casting vote in favor of the amendment. :

The original resolution on being put was | lost on the following decision, | Ayes—Morris, Douse, Horne, jand Curtis. | Nays—Crabbe, Kelly, T. A. McLean, A. A. McLean and Haszard. | The Mayor gave his casting vote against the resolution.

A good deal of discussion cccurred during the meeting and petitions, resolutions, cor- respondence, etc., much of which had been read before, had to be read for the infor- mation of some members of the Board.

Council adjourned.

The Latest Phase of ‘the Irish Question.

The New York Times’ London cablegram says: Prevailing excitement reaches al- most to fever heat as the tension of political anxiety is subjected to still forther strains by the knowledge that Chamberlain and Trevelyan have definitely seceded. The wonderful old man will thread his way

| across the quicksands, menaced by this new

morass it ig true, but he will also be relieved from the burden of unfriendly colleagues. He alone sees the clear and safe path. Everybody else is trembling at unknown dangers. Not even the Irish themselves are able to preserve confidence as the crisis draws near, and the bulk of the Liberals profess no other hope than that which is based with trust, almost pathetic in “its childish confession of their own weakness, on a belief in Gladstone’s’ strength. In memory of man there has beea no other such intensity of political doubt, quaking and apprehension. Old men say that not even the Corn Law crisis evoked such depth of feeling as is now exhibited, while the latter suffrage and church ayitations were as froth compared with this. True, all those cries were accompanied by great popular demonstrations, while this one is approached with a painful (I had almost called it sinister) hush. The turbu lence of nationalist oratory has been stilled as if by magic. Orangemen who ven- ture yet to declaim are met only by echo of their own voiées. English politicians hesi- tate to speak, and look into each other's faces with a kind of awed numbness, as if in the presence of an overwhelming issue. As the magnitude of the occasion grows on public consciousness, signs increase that men ate striving to put partizanship aside, and learn what the true dictates of patriot- ism are, that they may follow them; for all, whether with Gladstone or against him, perceive that the work now in hand affects the very foundations of constitutional gov- ernment here, and that no lesser, question is involved than whether what is to be done will operate to strengthen the governmental structure or to tumble the whole fabric down on their heads.

A member of parliament cables to the New York Herald that if Gladstone adheres to thg financial proposals connected with Irelath his defeatis assured. James Keely, M. P., and regular correspondent of the Herald cables : Gladstone, despite delicate health, is as confident and sprightly as a schoolboy, The threatened opposition has not made him yield an inch. He will con- quer or go down with the record of a splen- did effort to heal the feud of ages. He is fighting with great skill, and recognizing the disadvantage of engaging in a battle on financial ground in the presence of Chamberlain’s hostility, he dexterously changes front and comes into action with solid home rule battalions. Whatever may be his strength his whole force will strike together. By putting the purchase scheme into the background he gives the Irish tories warning that by supporting Chamber- lain, they are perhaps, throwing away the last chance for favorable settlement. The Radical reflection, therefore, may induces many among them to support Gladstone in | hia purchase scheme as the choice of evils. It is almost certain there will be much cross voting when the purchase scheme comes on for final decision. Without being too sanguine, [| am inclined to think that Gladstone will succeed in carrying his measure through the commons, but am not hopeful it will pass the lords until the country has been consulted. A member of Parliament cables: I believe the expecta- tion in ministerial circles is that the government cannot possibly survive beyond Jone and that a dissolution will take place early in May. Preparations are being made in important quarters for elections about that date. This will be afgreat blow to the rank and file of both parties, for many now here will not come back. There is really no help for this, as the work of the country cannot be carried on with the present distribution of members, The seoner a smash occurs the better. It will let us all know where we rea'ly stand and what the country really wants on the Irish question,
