A Probable Leader.

PARTY AWAITING JUSTIN M’CAR- THY S RETURN.

—_—

( London despatch to Boston Herald. )

THE IkItsil

The question ot the choice of a leader by the Irish party to divect their action in the House during Mr. Parnell’s absence is dis- cussed both publicly and in private circles. For, although the duration of the retirement is in digpute, it is now admitted that the con- dition of Mr. Parnell’s health calls impera- tively for complete rest froni parliamentary work. From iaformation which comes to me through a trustworthy channel I feel safe in predicting that the mantle of the Lrish Elijah will not fall until Elisha is well under it. And at present Elisha is in America, where, rumor says, he is making money faster than he ever made it before, so that he is not disinclined to hold his dish right side up while the golden shower lasts. Nowhereamong the three sub- divisions of the Irish party in the House is there any desire to take “P the succession question till Mr. Justin Carthy returns from his lecturing tour. All recognize his availableness as a compromise candidate, for he stands well with every section of his party.

The Irish members know that Mr. McCarthy is at heart a nationalist of extreme views, i spite of the mild and benevolent air which has won him warm friends in circles quite out of sympathy with him politically. Though he ele toes off the velvet glove, the iron hand is there, and on occasion he does not hesitate to show it. He knows how to wait as well as how to pus matters. His easy, oratorical style, iiougi perhaps better suited for the dinner tvle ticn for parliamentary debate, always secures him the ear of the house. With these qu. ications he cannot prudently be left out of s sit in the new arrangements regard ‘ng the «..cection of the party ; and the Parneiiites, the nationalists who reject the name of Parneliite, and the out-and-out re- pealers, are oi) willing te await his re-appear- ance. But ii is not certain that events will, be as patient. Mir. Parnell’s strength ma

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

L. li. Davies and the Railroad Meeting.

Sin,—I see by your paper of Thursday that a meeting of Grit railway officials and employes was to be held last night, and that Mr. L. H. Davies would preside. Well, I hope they had a good time, tho’ | fancy that there would be cold comfort from any remarks that the Island stretcher could make to his supporters. It is true he could refer to the fact that it might have been different if Blake had been returned to power. But then, it has been truly said, ‘‘of all sad words of tongue or pen the saddest are it might have been.” This reminds me of the threats that were made by L. H. Davies, previous to the election, against all persons in the service of the Government who might oppose his party. He endeavored to bulldoze and terrorize the Civil Service officials and employes of the Government, and it appears that he succeeded only too well. Heavy threats were made that these men would be dis- missed from the service as soon as he got in power, but unfortunately for his dupes the nearest approach that Davies makes to power and the treasury benches isa back seat in the cold shades of opposition. “This business ot threatening employes of the Government is always resorted to by the Grits before an election, and they make their threats boldly both in publi¢e and in private. If they had the power after an election they would undoubtedly carry these threats out, but they always get left as far as the power is concerned. There is, however, another side to this question that | wish to call attention to, and that is this : as Liberal-Conservatives we are getting tired of these threats, and we want to know what the Govarnment is going to do about it’ Willit still be the policy of the Con- servative party to kiss the hand that strikes them, and not only put Grits into office, but give them some of the best public positions and even elevate them over the heads of Conservatives? There are men in our midst whe for the last eight or ten years have been feeding on Government pap, and still there are none so ready to throw their caps high in the air when they hear of the defeat of their benefactors. We acknowledge the right of every man to vote as he likes, and for that matter to work for any Party he chooses, but at the same time we also acknowledge the right of the Government to appoint whom they please to office, and dismiss whom they please. The policy of the Grits is to put their political friends in offiee, and we do not blame them, when they get a chance, but we do blame our Party for not adopt- ing the same course, and if this policy is continued another five years, the Liberal- Conservative Government may expect a still larger majority against them in P. E. Island at the next general election. | believe the rank and file of the Conserva- tive Party have made up their mind to this. Forbearance has ceased to be a virtue, and in the choice language of the Patriot, we would say ‘‘turn the rascals out,”’ and make way for better men. Begin at the highest officials and go right through them, and let Davies and _ his followers have the benefit of his threats hurled back to them. Depend upon it nothing short of this from Sir John Mac- donald will satisfy us now.

Sir,—For the information of ‘‘A Con- stant Reader,” in your daily issue of the 26th inst., I would state that the abbrevia- tion referred to by him, in the word Xinas, has been long used by the learned through- out Europe, because the capital, (chi) being the twenty-second letter of the Greek A\l- phabet, and the first letter of the name of Christ in Greek, is the same inform with our X, hence XI, Xtian, Xtmas, and Xmas- tide were thus written in analogy.

In these abbreviations the Cross form of the letter X suited the taste of the Catho- lic friends long, long ago.

EE Information Wanted.

Sir,—Last week a notice appeared in your paper intimating that a me¢eting would be held of railway men, at which Mr, Davies would address them, It also stated that the notices for meeting originated at the ticket office and were on railway papey. Having lost my head during election times, I will be glad if any of the readers of your valuable daily could inform me where I was at that particular time, and if I was in any way connected with that wonderful meet- ing.

Sir John Lister Kaye, who has made his headquarters in Montreal for the past two jeaiiie, pending negotiations with the Mini- ster of the Interior and the Canadian Pacific Railway Co., regarding his scheme for model farms in Manitobia and the North West, has left for England, after completing his ar- rangements with the government and the railway company. The promoter of this great enterprise for the settlement of English and Scotch agriculturists will have London capi- taliste joined with him in raising a company with £1,300,000 capital, of which £255,000 have been already promised. Breeding of horses from imported stallions and of cattle sheep and pigs from the best British strains, will be one of the principal features of the scheme next to the settlement of the right kind of British farmers on land.
