A lullin the Eastern storm allows publie attention to turn to France, where events not without importance are taking place. Gambetta has been visiting Ca- hors, his native place, and of course a political demonstration is made. Both the good and the bad points of the Freveh character have in one particular a like _effect.. They tend to make the nation ~} fix its hopés and its truston one man who is the embodiment of the aspirations of the hour. Their loyalty to a leader is with them a stronger principle than stead- fastness to opinion. Or perhaps it would be truer to say that the condition of their loyalty to principle is that they can be loyal to a man who represents them. There is little doubt that what Napoleon I. was to the men of the revolution, what Napoleon III. was to the timid bowr- geoisie, that Gambetta soon will be to this republic. The position 1s a dauger- ous one for the hero. But while Gambetta has been thus reaping public houours, he has received a most serious check in another quarter. The new. mode of voting by ewlarged constituencies (scrutin'de liste) was, by his influence, almost forced through the House of Deputies. Great was the re-| jJoicivg of himself and his friends over. what they imagined a secure victory.| Some foretold that the Senate would; modify the measure, but — these prophets were ridieuled by the triumphant democracy. The Senate has not modified the measure ; it has rejected it altogether. It will be interesting to watch the course of French politics for the next few, months. lis M, Littre, distinguished in France as a literary man, and M. Dufaure who played so prominent a-part in the political events following the overthrow, of the second Empire, have died during, the month. Political economy is usually considered | one of the driest of sciences, and metallism oae of its driest subjects. Yet the ques-! tions debated in the Monetary Conference, | which has been sitting in Paris, are: interesting enough. The bi-mettalisis, who advocate attempting to. fix the relative value of silver and gold, and then making both equally a legal tender, | assert that much of the sudden changes. in value that have during the last few, years caused such wide ruin, is due to, the demonetizing of silver which has been | going ou in Germany, France, and | practically io the United States, Now) to have a gold standard alone is as much | an article of the orthodox faith with Eng-| lishmen as is Free Trade. So while there} are English representatives at the Con- ference, the Government have distinctly disclaimed any intention of even consider- ing achange. Germany has made some) proposals which look as though she were | not uuwilling to restore silver to the place. it had before the payment of the French | war indemnity in gold made silver with! her of as small account as it was in Jerusalem in the days of King Solomon. The Conference has adjouraed until the 30th June. By some it is ridicuied as a gathering of harmless eathusiasts ; but so many old beliefs are breaking up in these days, that it is worth while at least) keeping the ran of the doings of the, Conference. So many remarkable discoveries are from time to lime announced, attract at- tention for a while. and after all prove useless, that it does not do to be too sanguine when first a triumph of science is proclaimed. But Sir Wm. Thompson assures us that electric force has been stored, can be kept for a considerable time, and used as required. . Should this discovery fulfil its promise, it must work a revolution scarcely second to that brought about by the application of steam. Already electricity has been used as @ motive power and for other mechanical purposes ; but hitherto it had to be produced when and where requir- ed, and used immediately. But if it can be put up in boxes, sent to where it is wanted, and used as needed, what an immense quantity of fire now wasted can be utilized. When, at coal mines, coke is manufactured for iron smelting, there is an immense Waste of ‘lieat. Set to work an engine, this heat might produce electricity which could be attached to the engine of a steam- boat or locomotive a thousand miles away. At Niagara there might be a Foree Factory which could supply half the engines in the world with motive power. This may be a mere dream; it may prove the latest marvel of science. Now that the English have left Af- ghanistan, the fight has begun between Abdul and Abdurrhaman. It is more than likely that it will be seen that the most unselfish and kindest thing tke British could have done for the country would have been to ru’e it. GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. Much more of Ireland than of Great Britain! The British Parliament met on the 6th January. More than six months have gone by, and,except the Irish Coer- crease of rent. ‘the League is really aiming at the non- VOL. 9.-—Nv, 35, ye The Irish Land Bill now blocks the way. Roughly speaking, the effect of the Bill, should it pass in its present form, would be to put the Irish terant, in nearly the same position as the majority of the tenants on this I-land were before the Land Commissién had done’ its’ work. Some little while ago, this would have been looked upon here as leaving them in au exceedingly bad position.” Bat it is not improbable that the occupiers are _ beginning ‘to find out that, whet” the assesssméents rendered necessary by the absorption 07 so much public money in the purchase uf the lands, when the Government instalments, and when the interest: on the | too-freqnent mortgage, whet all these have been paid, that it comes to pretty much the same thing as'if you called them all rent, and that oue is just as liable to be sold up by a money-lender or a tax- gatherer, as by a landlord. ‘The pro- posed law would give the tenant quiet possession, so long as he paid his rent, and some security against any sudden in- There is litde doubt that payment of rent altogether, although it disavows that object. Possibly it: may come to that nominally ; but asthe eom- pensation to the landlords will then have to be taken from the taxes, the payments will come in another form. , To us,who have been familiar with the working of the federal system for‘a long time among our neighbors and for some time among ourselves, it is difficult to understand why English statesmen re- fuse toadmit in any shape the idea -of Home Rule. - Yet, surely, a wise scheme might be designed which, while main- taining the unity of the two countries, would in very many matters allow Ire- land to be governed by Irish ideas and Irish rulers. The Liberals, particularly the Radical section, are, of all, the most vehemently opposed to this, principally because they dread the influence npon the people of their religious teachers. But until something of the kind is done, how can Ireland be peaceful and con- teuted? Imagine the attempt wade to force the customs and Jaws of the rest of the Dominion upon the Province of Que- bee, or to insist upon that Province wholly severing religious teaching from all its public education, how long before Quebec would be a hotbed of disaffection and discontent—the Ireland of the Do- minion? But we manage things better, and all sections of our country are quite contented over it. The worst feature in the present Irish trouble is the cruel and cowardly manner in which the disaffected peasantry treat any urfortunate officer of the law who may fall into their hands. For a howling mob to set upon ene men with sticks and stones and beat him to death, or leave him half dead, is an act of brutality unworthy of a people not without chivalrous sentiments. Yet such outrages are again and again occurring. Cattle are maimed, defen- celess and law-abiding peasants are attacked and mutilated, and in some parts of the country a state of affairs prevails which is the despair of the true friends of Ireland, and seems to show that the sternest acts of repression are called for in the name of mercy. There is too. mnch reason to fear that before there can be any peace for the country, one or two mobs must be tau the stern lesson that, above all things, the law must be obeyed. But the last ad- vices are more encouraging ; and it seems as if law and order were getting the upper hand, though they need an army to assist them. - The chance of any revival of the Com- mercial Treaty with France, or of any liberal trade legislation on the part of that country, seems quite gone. The demand for a retaliatory tariff grows stronger and stronger, while the con- dition of the farmer is becomes desperate. But the inevitable reduction of rents must give um some relief, and there is no class in England that can better endure a greatly reduced income than the Jand- owners. Free trade was once the cry of the manufacturers against the landed interest, when it was gaived it was found an equal benefit to both. But now both are beginning to cry out for Protection. If they insist upon it they will get it: but the remedy may prove far worse than the disease. UNITED STATES. There is but one prominent subject in the politics of the United States just now, and that one intensely uninteresting. The quarrel in the Republican party, and te consequent inability of the Senate at Albany to make their choice. Mean- while the wearisome monotony of in- effectual baliots has been broken by charges and countercharges of bribery on the part of certain Senators, and a very wasty mess is being stirred up. A great country aud a really great peo- ple, yet the United States has as discredit- able and discredited a Government as any civilized country is cursed with. Since the above was written the ter- rible news has come of the attempted as- sassivation of President Garfield. There is too much reason to fear that the assassin will succeed in his wicked de- ‘cion Bill, nothing has been gompleted, sign. Assassination is always cowardly
