Tae Grit Party nover had a policy of its own —except ; ' opposition ; and never during its whole politicel existenc was it mere in need offone than at tLe present time. In the Maritime Provinces, abuse ot the National Policy, just now, occupies the principal attention of its leaders. In this, however, as in many other questions o! vital importance to the country, neither the Reform leaders nor their rank and file are sgreed. On the flour duty for instance the policy ol ‘ some of them are particularly loud. But while they affirm that the dity has in- ereased the price to he peo pte of the Maritime Provinces, they tell the Ontario farmer in the same breath, that it has not increased the price of flour one half cent Of course every sensible man who has given the subject any considerations, knows, that r is regul ded by the markets of the werld, and that these are controlled by England. Between the Grit manufacturer end Grit consumer there also exists a diver- sity of opinion. The other day an Ontario manufacturer of farming implements stated | that he and his co-manufacturers had good reason to be oppesed to the present Dominion Government, as they had been “scorched by the tariff,” his firm alons having had to pay, within the last year, over $4,000 in duties, wile he had not been the prit of 7 1c ally. able to add ene dollar t the price of their machines. When questioned as to where these $4,000 in duty went, he frankly ad- mitted, somewhat to the disgust of his Gnt listeners, that they went into the revenue We leave the reader to compare this state ment of a prominent manufacturer with that other statement so frequently repeated by Grit orators and writers, viz., that the consumer is being ruined merely for the sake of building up a few wealthy manufac- turers. In the face of all the professec alarm and distrust,” aa the Georgetown Address expresses it, it is certainly gratifying to | learn from the lips of no less a personage than Mr. Blake himself, that times are bettering and that the country is prosper- ing. He is not the only M. P. in the Op- position ranks who has been compelled to admit that encouragement to home indus- tries is deing our country good Mr. McDonnell, Grit member for Lan ark, declared last session frem his} place in Parliament that the [people in that section were not <iriven away by the National Policy. He would give the credit to the hon. gentleman o posite that so far as his town was concerned, they were saiis- fied with the N. P. Whon tere were some nine orten manufacturing establishments in his town, they had reason to be satis- fied.” (See Hansard for session 1880-81, Vol. 11, page 847). While the leaders of the great Grit party | remain without any defiyite policy of their | own, and continue to differ, as they do, in their estimate of the policy of their oppon- ents, it is matter of small surprise that their followers arefound at six and sevens on the fiscal as well as Railway Policy of the present Government. -_---— ————-@- Pog o— The Great Ones of the Harth—IL ee In England, 2,113 individuals hold no less than 38,018,458 acres of land, or up- wards of twelve millions of acres more than a third part of the whole area of Great Britain and Ireland. Yetitis not so long ago since Lord Derby said that there is nothing like a monopoly of land in that kingdom. The following list gives the names of a few of these ‘‘ Great Ones’ and shows un- donbtedly whence the muney comes :— Name. No. of Acres. Rental. Abereom, D. of 69,949 £ 45.954 Anglesey, Marquis of 25,505 197,353 Argyle, Duke of 175,114 50.848 Bath, Marquis of 55.427 67,002 Beaufort, Duke of 51,082 56,209 Bedford, Duke of 87,425 141,434 49,931 86 519 123,137 Preadalbane, Earl of 372,729 Brownlow, Earl 53,336 Calthorpe, Lord 6,273 Cleveland, Duke of 102,774 91,781 Derby, Earl of 63,834 170,265 Devonshire, Duke of 193,331 172,099 Fife, Earl of 257 652 78,041 Fitzwilliam, Earl ef 113,963 135,229 Matheson, Sir J 424,560 19,488 Northumberland, Duke of 185,515 168,323 Portland, Duke of 161,644 140,141 Richmond, Duke of 286,407 79,673 Seafield, Earl of 305, S91 71,885 Sutherland, Duke ef 1,208,546 129, 125 Tredegar, Lord 38,748 124,598 The foreguing list wil! give an interesting idea of some of the large holdings, and of their rentals. Even new, the Eaglis! Land question is being mooted, and the ever-restless sea of English-Radicalism sures towards these wide domains. As a rule, the Radical looks with stern contempt on. this mon- opoly, as tending to lower the type of national life, as degrading the self-respect of citizenship, as engendering flunkeyism, snobbery, and a host of despicable, un- manly, and uneryating social meanness. King Kalakua. Tue London ‘‘ Lion” of the season is King Kalakua. Astute Americans guess that his object in going to London is to get the Government to protect him against the proffered prutection of the States. What- ever his motive, the King of the Sandwich Islands will carry away from the ‘ Old Curiosity Shop” somewhat of its culture and civilization. He has the reputation of being a creditable converted heathen; and some person accounts for His Majesty being a good Christain by saying that his grandfather had eaten so many minced missionaries as to make it impossible for him not to be a Christian to the back bone. —_— = + Several great discoveries of petroleum have been made in Han ver from a bore of 200 feet, near the town of Peine. A single source yeilds in 24 hours 20,000 gallons, one-third of which is saleable as kerosene and one third grease. Oil speculation is running very high, and ground in the neighborhood is selling at from £150 to £200 per acre. a ee The new beet-root faci ory at Coaticooke, Quebec,, will shortly be finished. The building will cost $20,000, and the machi- nery $39,000. About 1!),000 acres of beets are grown in the neigiborhood, and the crop is said to be fine.

A few days ago, after the meeting in the Rink, at which Mr. Blake spoke, one of the most intelligent of our w ealthy farmers, who had been present, remarked in my hearing that Mr. Biake’s speech was not an interesting net because his arguments were weak, not because his’ diction was turuid, but because the topics touched upon were net such as are of interest to the Island. ‘The Canada Pacific, the Revenue, etc.,” he continued, “do not concern us, and we don’t care about them.” As to the last part of his sentence, | was sorry te have to believe him. With the exception of the newspaper editors, the few active politicians, and the fewer men of guod education, the people ot this Island do not take a patriotic interest in anything that docs not directly concerli themselves. They are well represented by the members they send to Ottawa, who seldom, if ever, open their mouths in Par- liament about matters that are not local, Proper pride in one’s native Province is a laudable thing; but it ceases to be so when it swallows up national pride, The smallor we draw the circle of our sympathies the more stunted will become the popular intelligence, and the lower will fall the popular tone, morally, socially, and politi We have made the circle very small, and as av illustration ef the effect I may mention a circumstance disgraceful enough, but characteristic of our insular ceur- tesy, which took place a few years ago in the Drill Shed. Mr. Mackenzie, one oi the two most prominent men in the country, had come some hundreds of miles to address the people of this town on subjects of great national interest. ‘he building was tilled, and if | remember rightly, one or two others had spoken before Mr. Macken- zie; but when he stepped forward the crowd, with a shameful unanimity, and a lack of good breeding peculiar to ourselves, called for a fellow townsman to address them in- stead of the distinguished stranger. It was not a very creditable proceeding ; but provincial pride is an honorable possession. Perhaps the mest melancholy effect of provincialism is its utter defeat of its own ends. Its object is in every way and in everything to place a certain number ot counties at our advantage ; its result, in almost every instance, to place them ate disadvantage and to make their institutions a laughing-stock for the world. As a proof of this we cannot do better than look at our Local Legislature. What a series of petty squabbles is enacted every season in its zessions. What a mixture of personal abuse and poor logic, delivered in bad English, we read in the reports of the speeches: Year after year the only change is for the worse. Year afier year we note an increasing decay ef public spirit ; and year after year a blighting provincialism more obtrusive. It has already robbed the town of. energy, enterprize, am- bition, cleanliness, good taste and seli- Unless it is overcome, it will do one people ot this worse. We hear a great deal about the emigra- tion frem this Island to the United States and it is not hard to fiud reasons for it. Young people have a certain amount of evergy and zeal, and it demands an outlet. Our insular indolence has deprived them of this. They are determined to go where all is. bustling, brilliant and active; liveliness cannot fail to charm; they feel that they will rather wear out than rust out. Should they return fora few days, the dreary mon- otony, the dull inactivity, the listlessness, the emptiness, the squalor, and the popu- lar ignorance of Charlottetown oppress them to such a degree that they are eager to be away again, where men are more kindly, more energetic, and mere intelli- gent; and so the country loses many who, if circumstances were different, would will- ingly stay, and who would in time become her most active citizens. JosEPH Poo.e. Loss of the Cortes. On Sunday morning the steamer Cortes went ashore at Throm Cap Shoals and will be a total loss. The passengers, crew, mails and baggage were saved, and a large part of the cargo will be saved in a dam- aged condition. Mr. Howard B. Walker, of Boston, one of the passengers, makes the following statement:—‘‘ When passing the lighthouse we entered very heavy fog. Capt. Henry was making the buoy, when all of a sudden the vessel struck. We were not going very fast and the shock was very slight, indeed, so much so that the passen- gers hardly realized the fact when it was announeed. Capt. Henry ordered the engines reversed, but the machinery was all out of gear, and the ship swung around on the rocks. In ten minutes the boats were lowered, but the tide was running too strong to use them. By this time the passengers were all on deck and manifested great anxiety, but became quieted on finding that they were not out of the harbor and in no danger. The vessel continued to bump and roll heavily for some time and finally settled down abaft, with bow aflvat. It was feared that the masts would fall and the passengers were all ordered abaft. some fishing boats soon arrived and Capt. Henry accepted their offer of assistance. Mr. Heyer, chief officer, was sent to the city to notify the agent, Mr. J T. Wood, and obtain assistance. At half-past eight o'clock i¢ was reported that the vessel was free of water, but on the return of the first officer at half-past eleven, five feet of water was reported. The tugs A. C. Whitney and Henry Hover, came along- side, and took the passengers, mails and bazgage back to the city. Captain Henry came up in one of the tugs, went on board the United States war ship Vandalia, and requested assistance. Capt. Meade despatched 43 men to the wreck to assist in saving the cargo, anja few hours later the Vandalia went down to the wreck to render assistance, and remained there till ten o’clock at night. A number of tugs and schooners were despatched to the seene of the disaster, and engaged in sav- ing the cargo. There were seven feet of water in the hold last night. The Cortes lies a quarter of a mile from Thrum Gap Shoal buoy, heading eaat-south-east. The vessel and cargo were valued at $150,000. Both are probably insured. F. S. Longworth, Esq., Was a passenger by the Cortes. Mr, J. F. Powers has opencd a new and well-fitted hair dressing and shaving salocn on South side of Queen Square, opposite the Post Otlice, where he’will be happy to attend to all his old customers.

Present—Couneillors Morris, Davy, Koughan, Murphy, Lawson, Byrne, Smith, McLean. Counciller Koughan eccupied the chair. Councillor Murphy stated that he had made an application to the Union Bank for a re- duetion of the interest on our over-draft to sx per cent., that he had received a letter from the President of the Union Bank, stat ing that ‘‘if it was not convenient for the Gity Council to pay off the overdrawn account to the board, he would agree to reduce the in- terest from this date to soven per cent.; but, at the same time the Board would be glad to have the amount paid off as soon as ever the City Council can do so. A vumber of accounts were then ordered to be paid. Resolved, That His Honor the aeting Re- cordcr be authorized to consolidate the Act of [neorporation and all amendments thereto in time to lay before the next meeting of the Legislature, at a cost not to exceed one hun- dred dollars. Resolved, That this Council do eonfirm the authority given by the Mayor to Councillor Murphy to ‘ign all checks during his absence snd to make a!l necessary and legal payments as from time to time may be ordered by this Council. M. A. Cameron, Esq., was appointed Fire Warden for Ward 8. Councillor McLean gave notice of @ motion co amend the Dog By-Law, Resolved, That the City Collector be in- structed to collect at once all the tax due fer the years 1878, 1879 and 1880. Adjourned sine die, 2a -o Prince Napoleon’s Appeal to the French. A Paris despatch says that Prince Jerome Napoleon, emerging at last from his long retirement, and seeing in the approaching elections an opportunity of at least testing the strength of the Bonapartists, has issued an appeal to the people on an electoral pro- gramme in the form of a letter addressed to his fellow-eitizens. He appeals to the country to recall the glorious history of France during the rule of Napoleon First, his immortal uncle; also the wonderful prosperity of the country under his eousin, Napoleon III. He contends that the mere title of the Government is unimportant, which should be a Government whereby the destiny of France among the nations can be best accomplished. ~The present Government, he asserts, has not realized the expectation cherished for it. The so called demo¢ratie progress deceives the country, encourages the worst passions, and disregards all the principles upon which the former prosperity was founded. The Prince ends the Manifesto by demanding a revision of the constitution, so as to admit ofa plebiscite to elect their chief ruler, a post to which he, as head of the great Napoleon destiny, aspires. The letter has produced a profeund sensation throughout Paris. The Radicals are terribly exas- perated, and are talking of asking for the arrest of the Prince. The moderate Re publicans pretend to deride it. The Legi timists regard it with favor only because it annoys the Republicans and. Radicals. Che Bonapartists, who since the killing of the Prince Imperial telt themselves witheut a leader, welcome it as the first indication of the resurrection of their party. _—_—-- eo om —- The French Election Campaign. —_— A Paris despatch says the electoral cam- paign has begun here in right earnest, though very little agitation or excitement is apparent. The different parties or frac- tiovs of parties are preparing their. political programmes. Their leaders are putting forward declarations and manifestoes, and the papers are almost monopolized by re- ports of meetings of the defunct Chambers. The somewhat ostentatious announcement recently of the formation of an electoral committee under the immediate direction of M. Gambetta has not been faverably received by the Republican press. Many people suspeet that the so-called committee consists only of M. Gambetta, and are \in- clined to regard it formation as a dangerous attempt to give a personal character to the elections. La Republique Franeaise of the 6th inst., publishes a significant article peremptorily | enjoining ali Republican electors to refuse their votes te any candidate who attempts to take up an independent position, and who declines to support a thoroughly. pro- gressive Cabinet. At a crowded meeting in Belleville Jast night M. Gambetta was denounced as a bourgeoise trader, and threatened with the fate of Clement Themas. One orater play- fully enquired if it was not nearly time the electors left off flattering this overwhelm- ing person, and a little pamphlet sold at the doors entitled ‘‘ Gambetta, or the jus. tice of the people,” found numerous pur- chasers. All this, however, will have little influence on the elections. —_——__—_e ee —___-_—__ -—- Something more than mere rumour as- serts that Mr. Stanley is endeavouring to civilize the natives of the Upper Congo re- gion after a fashion unthought of by Dr. Livingstone, in whose footsteps he pro fesses to walk. He is said to now em- ploying slave-iabourers, chained in gangs of six, nine, and twelve, to make a road near that river.. There is teo good reason for believing this to be true. When Mr. large :umber of blacks. Many of these, as well asa large number ef his white follow- ers seon died, and it is known that most of the remainder fled to escape the harsh treatment of their employer, or, more pro- perly, master. This news, if true, is highly regretable. It may be that the Africans require to be dealt with differently from other people, but there is a wide range be- tween Dr. Livingstone’s humane and humanizing method and Stanley’s penal remedy of scourges and fetters.
