A Lively Debate. LONDON, Aug. 25. Gladstone was greeted with cheers in the Commons this evening as he arose to move his resolution: “That an humble’ address be presented to the Queen represent- ing that the Viceroy of Ireland had proclaimed the National League as a dangerous association, that no information had been furnished Parliament to justify the proclamation by virtue of which Her Majesty's subjects were rendered liable to be punished as criminals. without judicial inquiry inco the nature of their acts, and that the House in the absence vi such information, prays that said. procla- mation be not continued in force as to the associations named and deseribed therein.” Mr. Gladstone spoke at length. Mr. Bal- four, Sir William Vernon Hareourt, Mr. Harrington, (Nat.), Mr. Buchanan, (Lib. Unionist), and Bradlaugh, participated in the debate. T. W. Russell protested against coercing the league; but said, that, having supported the Crimes Bill, he could not withhold from the Government the powers they demanded. On motion of Sir G. debate was adjourned.

Canadian Notes.
The Globe recalls a characteristic anec- dote of the Dominion Premier. ‘They say that Sir John, in the old days before us, consented to give a sketch of his career to the publisher of ‘‘biographies of very remarkable Canadians.” In due time the book reached him, accompanied by a bill ‘for inserting notice.” ‘‘Hang the. fel- low,” said John A., ‘‘the chap’s worse than a highwayman—he asks for both money and life.”
The officials recently appointed under the Ontario Factory Act have completed a preliminary inspection of the factories in the province. Of the three inspectors, two, Messrs. Roecque and Barber, visited the principal factories in Eastern Ontario, including those at Cornwall: and Almonte. Upon their report the way the new act is to be enforced will depend. They declare the factories already visited to be in a satisfactory condition. The manufacturers were willing to co-operate and observe the new law whenever the defects were pointed out tothem. They found very few cases of children employed under legal age, that of 12 for boys and 14 for girls. Some in- provements were necessary in fire escapes on on the higher flats of large mills and also the sanitary arrangements required changes in conformity with the act. They noted that young women were earning high wages in a number of mills, owing to their industry and skill.
It is an unfortunate circumstance that statistics should show that crime in the United States is decidedly on the increase. It is undoubtedly the case that the foreign element in the population furnishes the larger proportion of criminals; but the | number of cases of crime occuring among | native American is still unduly large. This is not a result that would have been antici- pated a generation ago when hopes were running high as to the effects upon public morality of popular education. It is also
