Haditorial Notes.

— Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, in al speech at Hackney, a few days ago, said that the Conservatives, i2 promising *D inquiry into the Maamtrasna cases, had dove more to weaken the cause of Jus tice than anything that the Nationalists had ever doue.® He felt flattered by the Conservatives’ servile imitation of the Radical policy, but feared that as they had been false to their old faith they would not be true to the new. They were, he said, merely hungry office seekers.

—The New York Herald, notes with satisfaction that the tributes paid to the memory of General Grant by the Eng- lish and Continental press are couched in a spirit of friendly international courtesy that is worthy of recognition. The dead man’s career as a soldier is natur- ally the great theme upon which the European press enlarges. “ There have been few braver men than Grant, says the London Daily News. “ Ir is as a soldier that he will be remem- bered. [le leaves behind him no mau cast in a simpler, sincerer or more heroic mould,” said the Daily Telegraph. “Never a great strategist,’ says the Standard, he kuew only one course— namely, to fight.” “Though not a Napoleon or a Wellington, he handled large armies and led them to victory, says the Morning Post. Simple,sincere, heroic, a fighter and victorious! What greater meed cf praise asks the Herald, could a soldier have given to him? Neither to Wellington nor to Napoleon could all of these characteristics have been attributed.

— The Monetary Times remarks: “ Now that the insurrection in the North West has been crushed, it has been deemed advisable to take precautions against a future outbreak, by vestiog in the Government power to ascertain what persons, in a particular district which it may be necessary to proclaim, are in possession of arms. The possession of arms will, in that case, be by license, and registration will show where they are. Though this act is primarily ip- tended to prevent the Indians from pos- sessing themselves of arms of precision for unlawful purposes, the regulation is made to apply generally to all persons. By this means centres of sale and distri- bation of arms will become known, and can, if necessary, be put under surveil- lance. The necessity which dictated this measure may be deplored; but it is worth while to sub- mit to some inconvenience to make avother outbreak impossible. Loyal subjects will willingly bear with the in- convenience which the law my occasion, and the evil-designing have no right to consideration. No one who ought to be in possessien of arms will be deprived of the privilege, and it is quite time to pre- vent their being put in the way of per- sons who would use them like the men who fought against the volunteers at Fish Creek and Batoche.”

— The Patriot labors to impress the people of this Province with the idea that they have been deeply injured by the Franchise Act, and that the Act is not uniform. The Patriot says:

‘The worthless scapegrace, without a dollar in hia pocket, who gets somebody to pay his road or poil tax, if he was only 2] years of age on the day His Excellency assented to the Franchise Bill, will have a vote all his life, while hundreds this year, and a greater number every succeeding year, of educated, well-read and well- behaved young men, born a day, a week, a month, a year or several years too late to be entitled to a manhood suffrage vote under Sir John's bill, dare not approach the ballot box.”

The young men in this Province who come of age after the passage of the Bill are in precisely the same position under the Franchise Act, as other young men all over Canada So far, at least, uviformity is preserved. The young men ic this Province who were of age before the Act came into operation already possessed the right to vote, and to dispossess them of this right would have beeu wrong. Their case, having been fairly represented to Sir John A. Me- Donald, he consented that they should retain the right to vote, and so made an exception in their favor rather than do them an injustice. Where is the ground for complaini? The uniformity of the Act it is true has been, to a very small extent, broken ; but it has been preserved as far as it was possible to do so, with- out inflicting injustice upon those who, under the old Franchise Law, posseessed franchisé rights.

Tue Feetrc ty Manrropa.—Says the Winnipeg Times: Mr. Thomas Patrick,

has just returned from an extended trip to the Northwest and Munitoba, visiting Portage la Prairie,Brandon and the Souris district. He reports a splendid country aud magnificent erops, especially spring wheat, peas avd oats. He says everything is quiet, and you do not hear so much rebellion talk as you doin Ontario. Peo- ple in Manitoba, he very correctly saye, seem to see more profit in attending to | their business than atiempting to extract | political capital out of the late unfortunate | occurrence. it is reserved for Mr. Blake | and the rebel sympachizers in Parliament | to indulge in this contemptible work.

THE DAILY

General Grant. HIS LAST EXPRESSIONS.

Dr. Douglas has produced the following slips as among the Just expressions of General Grant :—‘‘ 1 feel sorry at the prospect of living through the surnmer and fall in the condition-l amin. I de not think I can, but I may. Except that I do not gather strength, I feel quite as well from day, to day as I have done heretofore, but I am losing strength. I feel it more in the in- ability to move about than in any other way, or rather in the lack of a desire to try to move.” ‘*When I had read_ that,” added Dr. Douglas, ‘‘I turned to the Gen- eral and tried to cheer him by telling him of the apparently improved condition of his throat and neck, to which in reply the General again wrote : ‘After all that, how- ever, the disease is still there and must be fatal in the end. My life is precious, of course, to my family and would be to me if I could recover entirely. There never was one more willing to go than I. I know most people have first one and then another little thing to fix up and never get quite through. This was partially my case. I first wanted so many days to work on my book,*o the authorship would be clegrly mine. It was graciously granted to me after being apparently much lower than since, and with a capacity to do more work than I ever did in the same ‘ime. My work had been done so hastily that much had been left out, and I did it all over from the crossing of the the James river in June, 1864, to Appoma- tox in 1885. Sincethat I have added as much as fifty pages to the book, I think. There is nothing more to do now, and therefore I am not likely to be more ready to go than at this minute.”

MESSAGES OF CONDOLENCE.

Among the many messages of condolence received by the widow of General Grant, are the following :—

Wasuineton, D. C., July 24, To Mrs. ®. S. Grant.

vey to youreelf and family her sincere condol-

Boston Markets. 3oston, July 25.

Eecs.—The market is quiet, and only strictly fresh Eastern command 15c. Nor- thern and Provincial are selling at 13} and 14c., but it is hard to get over 13$c. for Canadian. Western are slow at 12} and 13c. per dozen. The hot weather restricts trade. We quote P. E. Island at 14c,

Fisu.—Receipts of Mackerel for the week have been quite large and aggregate 13,350 bbls., including 11,496 bbls. from fleet and domestic ports, and 1,354 bbls. from foreign ports. Many of the latter were Bay trips sent home by American fishermen. For Mackerel the market is demoralized, and itis hard to give a reli- able selling price. Fare lots of Shore have been selling at $3 and $3.25 per bbl., with

barrel, mostly rimmed and largely No. 2; and lots at $275 per barrel with barrel. This latter price does not cover expenses. Dealers are

offering inspected lots at $3 for plain No 3; $3.75 to $4 for trimmed; and $6 50 to $7 for No 2. These low prices do not induce buy- ers to operate and the market closes very dull. Nova Scotia large No 3 are hard to sell at any reasonable price and have been quoted nominally at $5.50 to $6 per bbi. Codfish have been quiet but the weather has not been favorable for curing and prices are fairly maintained. We quote large dry Bank at $4.75, and mediun, $275 per qtl. Nothing of consequence doing in pickle cured. There is no demand for Pickled Herring and prices are entirely nominal. Canned Lobsters are in fair request at $1.55 to $1.65 per dozen, duty paid.

A Modern Machiavel.

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL CREDITED WITH A BENT OF POLITICAL CHICANE,

It is evidence of Lord Randolph Church- ill’s reputation as a political Machiavel that the defection of the Irish members in the division on the medical relief is attributed by some observers to an understanding be- tween himself and Mr. Parnell. The issue on which the Conservatives were deserted by their Nationalist allies, though’ wearing a look of consequence, was really imma- terial. The clause had been inserted as a compromise proffzr without much expecta. tion of its acceptance. The bill itself was only nominally a government measure, and the cabinet had it in their power to correct the adverse vote of the Commons in the House of Lords.

As there had been a good deal of mur- muring among the Ulster Tories regarding the compact between the Government and Mr. Parnell, Lord Randolph, it is said, in. timated to the [rish leader that the division on the relief clause offered a favorable opening for independent action. If the Nationalists’ vote were cast against the Government, two birds might be killed with one stone. The Ulster members who had gone so far as to liken Mr. Parneli to Lord Harrowby, on the ground that he was ‘“*a member of the cabinet serving without pay,’ would infer that they were far out in their estimate. And English Conserva- tives of the old Northcote school might desist from antagonizing the Churchill policy of conciliation when they saw how easily the support ot the Paraellites could be diverted to the Liberal side.

Whatever credence be given to this theory of a private understanding, it is cer- tain that the vote of Thursday night has ieft no permavent estrangement between the Conservatives and the Irish party. lia critical divisicn were to come up next week, and the votes of the Nationalists would avail to save the Government, they would he cast as in the budget division, and Mr. Parnell would lead his contingent into the Conservative lobby.

| A Sea Monster.

On the 22nd inst., the schooner Dread- naught brought into Portland, Me., what old sailors term the largest sea turile ever \found in New England waters. The mon- 'stcr measured seven feet two inches in ‘length and weighed 1000 pounds, ‘*We had a hard tussle with the critter,” said /Harpocner Jordan, ‘‘One of our men was ‘sitting on the bow when the monster thus ‘his head out of the waves and snapped at him. ‘My God! a sea serpent!’ ox- claimed he. We put out in a dory, and when he sawus he gave chase, I har- pooned him in the neck. One man had his foot caught in the line and was carried overboard. We fought him for an hour. One man was injured by a biow, and before the critter was subdued a third man was knocked overboard and our boat was sink- ing.”

BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE. BRITISH WEST INDIES.

TRADE

Col. Frederick Stanley, Secretary of State for the Colonies, has tacitly promised to revive the negotiations which were abandoned by Lord Derby, his predecessor in office, for a commercial treaty between the United States and the British colonies in the United States. It is true that Col. Stanley declined to make any promise to this effect to the deputation, headed by Charles Tennant, M. P. for Selkirkshire and Peebleshire, which called on him yes- terday, and urged him to take steps to secure such a treaty, but, in private con- versation with different members of the deputation after the formal conference, the new Colonial Secretary practically com- mitted himself to a resumption of the nego- tiaticns with the Washington Government.

— —— Davitt Declines.

WILL NEVER CONSENT TO HOLD A SEAT IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

Michael Davitt, the Irish patriot, having been again invited to become a candidate for a seat in Parliament, has written a pub- lic letter in which he declares : ‘‘I have de- termined that I will never sit in an English Parliament. This determination is icrevoc- able. Fifteen years ago | was seutenced in the name of the Queen to a term of servi- tude which is now expiring. I cannot perform an act which would compel me to seal my forgiveness and forgetfulness of all this personal wrong and inhumanity by in- voking God’s name as testimony of my loyalty and devotion to the power which in- flicted this wrong.’’

Mr. Davitt denies that he ever wrote to Joseph Chamberlain offering to assist hira in stumping Ireland upon a Radical plat- form.

An American Opinion.

The New York Tribune says: ‘‘ The Canadian citizen soldiers who are receiving so hearty a welcome now on their return from the Northwest Territories deserve all the applause they ge+. They have, indeed, had a rough campaign. The _half-breeds whom they had to fight are much worse foes than the Indians,for to the endurance of the savage they add superior intelli- gence and cunning which they gained with the French strain in their blood. More- over, the fighting had to be done in an ex- cvedingly rong country, where there were few cr no roads, where communication was slow and difficult, snd where supplies could not be obtained at any cost. It was a tough jub which the militiamen had set betore them ; but it was undertaken with pluck, carried through with intelligence, ani crowned with success. No wonder they are royally received.”

ee

The Campaign in France.

The French electoral campaign is pro- ceeding with bewildering daily increase of issues. Intrigues and combinations, with scarcely any other motive than self-ambi- tion, are discernible. The slap in the face which the Chamber of Deputies gave the city of Lyons, by taking the side of Rouen in the tariff fight, has angered the whole south of France, and a sectional quarrel has begun which will probably exert a great influence in_ the _ elections. The sending of Debehaine to Roma ro suddenly is interpreted as a sign of minis- terial desire to placate the vatican and induce the Pope to nominate some French cardinals at next week's consistory in hope of winning Catholic votes: From Rome it is reported that Leo XIII is gratified at this change of front, and is amiably dis- posed, but that it is too late to add new names or pustpone the consistory. Unless help comes from this quarter partisan feuds and personal ambitions bid fair to imperil the republican working majority in the next Chamber.

Earl Spencer Banqueted.

A banquet was given at London, July 24, to Earl Spencer, late Lord Lieutenaut of Ireland. Two hundred members of the House of Commons were present. ‘he Marquis of Hartington presided. ~ He pro- posed the health of Earl Spencer in a eulogistic speoch, in the course of which he commended the Earl's administration of the vice-royalty. Earl Spencer replying said he had tried to do his duty to his sovereign and his.country fearlessly in sight of the world. He said that the crimes act was justified, when passed. by the pre- sence in Ireland of 30,000 Fenians, who were aided by members of Parliament from England and Scotland and by friends from America in resisting the laws of the land. The chief seat of the difficulties, hoe said, was Ulster, which was the Parnellites’ stronghold, and the scene of incessant sedi- tious gatherings. Nothing, he said, could be more dangerous or _ productive of discontent than to attempt to govern Ireland as a crown colony without represen- tative institutions. Jobn Bright, in pro- posing the health of the Chairman, vindi- cated Earl Spencer’s policy. He said the men who brought charges against Earl Spencer and the Irish judges were disloyal to the crown and directly hostile to Great Britain. They had so far as they could obstructed legislation, which was intended to prevent or discover and punish crime. The Maiquis of Hartington responded.
