Mitylene Islanders in Revolt.

Loxpox, May 3.—A despatch from Athens says that the right wivg of the Greek army has been repulsed by the Turks, but the left wing retreated behind the old frontier line to prevent being cir- cumvented. ‘The Greex army in Epirus, after its defeat at Peutipagodia, retreated to Arta. All hope of continuing the war has been virtually abandoned.

The fleet has returned to Volo for protection of the inbabitants.

A correspondent of tbe Mail at Berlin says that the powers will not consent to levying an indemnity upon Greece, and both Austria and Germany are trying to induce the Porte to modify its demands,

Arnans, May 3.—It is reported that the Island of Mitylene, off the coast of Asie Minor, bas revolted in favor of Greece, and that the Greek fleet will be sent there forthwith.

It is understood that the government has informed the Opposition Leader tbat the Franchise Bill will be withdrawn, and that the Superannuation Bill will not be pressed this session.

On Saturday last a new list of names was handed in for superannuation. ‘They are mostly iu the outside service.

MIXING POLITICS AND BUSINESS.

Politics is a better thing for a young man to have knowledge of than to actual- ly experience. He should know what politics means, so that he can vote intel- ligently and conscientiously. One thing is certain: active participation in politics and in business donot go together.— Edward W. Bok, in May Ladies’ Home Journal. .Vi Tas “hu -——--~-—

The Ottawa correspondent of the St. John Sun says that never since 1879 has

a stronger attack upon the national policy been made tn the house thas that of Mr. Fielding in his introduction to the new protective tariff. Whatever he may have said by way of comfort to the manufac- turers he denounced the national policy right and lefi. Like the Cardioal of Rbeims, be cursed with energy and perseverance.

The Cardinal rose with the dignified look,

He called fur his candle, his bell and his book !

In holy anger and pions grief

He eolemnly cursed tbat rascally thief !

He cursed hit at board, he cureed him in bed,

From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head;

He cursed him at sleeping, that every night

He should dream of the devil, and wake in a fright;

Be cursed him in eating, he cursed him in drinking;

He cursed him in coughing, in sneezing, in winking;

He cursed him in sitting, in standiag, in

lying;

He cursed him in walking. in riding, in tlying;

He cursed him in living, he cursed him in dying!

Never was heard such a terrible curse ! But what gave rise to no little surprise, Nobody seemed one penny the worse!

Mr. Fielding, if we may quote Lanrier’s language ugain, “ Cussed and cussed and cussed” tne national policy, aod the national policy as a principle does not seem (0 be much the worse. It will b remembered that Mr. Fielding frankly admitted, in introducing hie taritf that the general list “ would be largely the tariff existing today.” Mr. Foster claims that nine-tenths of the old tariff has been retained. A careful analysis of the new bill, as compared with the old system, goes to show that Mr. Fieldiog’s admission end Mr. Foster’s contention are largely supported by the facts.

Mail and Empire: It is of the utmost importance to the business community to know at once whether the Government has received a despatch from the Colonial Secretary in reference to the differential duties. Uncertainty on the point embar- rasses the import trade in certain lines. When the question was pat to him by Mr. Davin on Tuesday, Mr. Fielding ehould have answered it instead of insolently re- fusing to do so.
