Tie McKenzie party are, perhaps, wisely + measures with a view to the ‘“‘tiding over’ of another threatening difficulty. An Ottawa organ of the party says: ‘‘The ru- mor has reached us that Hon. T. W. An- g in will decline, at the approaching session, t» again become ‘First Commoner’ of the land.” By ousting Mr. Anglin from an ofice for which he is eminenty fitted, the Grits may strengthen their position.

he Situation in the States.

There are some indications that President Haves will be unable to maintain the fight against the large majority of the party to whose votes and influence he owes his Pposi- tion. His policy of concession to the South was, perhaps, a necessity ; but it has given the finishing stroke to the Republican party there, which, in ten or @ dozen States, has disbanded, and is now practically defunct. The fact has come out that V ice President Wheeler is opposed to the policy | of the and it is said that Mr. Evarts 1s anxiously seeking peace and reconciliation with Senator Conckling. If the latter rep- port turns out true, and if the Government vains the support instead of the opposition of the distinguished Senator from New York, then we may cortclude that he has compelled aceeptance of his own terms, and that President Hayes and his Cabinet have surrendered to the actual leaders of the Re- publican party.

Prosperity of Ireland.

An exchange well remarks that Mr. Glad- stone struck a theme of great interest to his hearers at Dublin and to Irishmen the world over when he touched upon the pros- perity of the Emerald Isle. So far as popu- lation is concerned Ireland has not yet re- covered from the enormous depletion caus- ed by the immense emigration from her shores. Her population is barely five mil- lions and a half, whereas at one time it reached eight millions. ‘Perhaps it is not desirable that the population should regain its former density. But the efflux has ceased, and in other respects the facts of her'present condition are encouraging, and the prospect is a bright one. Her agricul- tural progress is. in some-particulars nota

little remarkable. Take the value of live stock for example. In 1841, the Census

Commissioners placed it at 21,105,0001. Ten vears later it amounted to 27,737,000. In 1861 it reached 333,434 ,0001, and in 1871 it had still further increased to 37,515,000). Here we notice an augmentation of national wealth in a very important branch of agri- culture, though the number of individuals is less by thirty percent. The value of the principal crops, too, expanded from £31,- 400,000 in 1864 to £36,000,000 in 1875. Sneers at Irish husbandry will no longer be in order in the face of this exhibit of pro- ductive labor.

In another important respect, years have brought a change for the better. The peo- ple of Ireland are becoming a law-abiding people in a far greater degree than could formerly be claimed for them. With their: growing wealth, and with the steady re- moval of former disabilities, crime of every description is on the decrease. ~ In 1854 the number of persons tried at Assizes and Quarter Sessions in Ireland was 11,788. Last year it was only 4,240, a decline vastly greater than the diminution of population. As to the general activity of the people, Mr. Gladstone was able to speak from his personal experience. He took the hurry and bustle on the streets as a test. ‘lam a great pedestrian on the streets,” he told his hearers, ‘‘and Lask myself in which towns do I find it difficult to keep out of the way of carriages and cars threatening to run over me. 1 must say that I consider Dublin very formidable in that respect, and were it not for the mercy of the drivers | am not sure but [ must not have already fallen a victim to -the immense activity which seems to me to prevade all the great leading streets of this very remarkable city.’ And he adds in conclusion: ‘ As to your port, and your docks, and your dockworks

and let mesay by wayof parenthesis,as to the engineering science and ability which Ireland is applying to the extension of these works—I must irankly own that I have never witnessed any scones su remarkable as those I have seen in Dublin.” It is well that frishmen abroad whose recollections of their native land are clouded by unhappy reminiscenes of a different state of things, should realize the change for the better which a score of years has wrought in old lreland.

Muriny.—A number of young men be- longing to the 19th Hussars, stationed at the Curragh, were guilty of mutiny in a very mild form. By way, it is said, of pro- testing against the harsh treatment of their commanding officer, they, one morning when ordered to parade, rode some distance out of the camp. They returned when called back by some officers who rede after them. Some of the London papers protested at the time that these boys must not be punished

severely for an offence to which they were |

provoked ; but military discipline is stern :

‘* The sentence of the General-Court-Mar- tial held on the mutineers of the 19th Hus- sis was recently promulgated before all the troops in the Royal Barracks. The troops assembled in review order, when Sir John Michel read out the sentences, which were: Two, penal servitude for five years ; two for six years ; one for seven years, and one for eight years. McNamara, whose c-oss- examination of witnesses was generally ad- mired, was acquitted.”

Political Feeling. in the Country.

The Patriot is filled with reports of meet- ings consequent upon the unexampled blun- ders ot the Government it supports. From it we clip the following resolution—passed at the meeting held in New Glasgow :—

Moved by Mr. James Dickieson, seconded by Mr. J. Houston, that

Whereas, The Legislation of the present (Government during last Sessiou, has imposed heavy burdens upon the people without con- ferring any advantages ; ;

And, Whereas, By the Registration Act, and by the abolition of Statute Labor, a large num- ber of the electors have been deprived of their franchise ;

And, Whereas, The Assessmeng Act is un- justly expensive in its working, and uncalled for at this time :

Therefore, Resolved, That this meeting dis- approve of the Legislation of last session, and would call for an immediate session of the Leg- islature, and have the several Acts, ; such as Assessment, Road Service, Registration

the Education Acts, severally revised and

and amended ; and

Further Resolved, In the opinion of. this meeting, that the Legislative Council is not now necessary, and in order to lessen public expenditure “it be abolished; and that the number of members in the House of Assembly be redticed to one half its present number.

Moved by Mr. Charles Dickieson, seconded by Mr. A. McKay :—

Whereas, This Island, since becoming part of the Dominion of Canada, is dependent upon a fixed sum to carry on the Public Service ;

And Whereas, The Public Service is mate- rially reduced, and the public expenditure thereby greatly diminished ;

Therefore Resolved, That this meeting is of opinion that the number of officials should be lesseeed, and the salaries of the officials in va- rious departments of. the public service be re- duced, and thereby make large retrenchment in the public departments.

Further Resolved, That all public printing from the ‘‘ Royal Gazette” down, be let to the lowest tender ;

Further Resolved, That public officials be in their office from 9 a. m.. until 5 p. m., of each day.

Moved by Mr. Geo. Smith, seconded by Mr. Richard McCoubrey, that

Whereas, The Second Electoral District of Queen’s County being a rural district, anda very large number of its electors are farmers ;

And, Whereas, It is the opinion of said electors, that they have been unfairly dealt with, by the high tax that has been levied on their property to support the present system of education ;

And, Whereas, Cities, towns, and all in- corporated bodies are free from said taxation— notwithstanding the benefits to be derived from said Act (if any) can be enjoyed by said cities and towns at the expense of the country tax payer ;

And, Whereas, It is the opinion of said elec- tors that this state of things would not have taken ‘place, if there had been less city element among the representatives of the people :

Therefore Resolved, That the independent

‘électors of the Sewond Electoral District of

‘Queen’s County, bind themselves ‘to support no man hereafter, as,.their representative, but a permanent resident of said Second Electoral District of Queen’s County.

Defective Fiues—Information Wanted.

‘To the Editor of the Daily Examiner:

Sir,—Do you know if there is such a thing asa city by-law relating to the erection of fines, furnaces, and restrictions on buildings to be erected in the city of Charlottetown? If so, should it not be published for the benefit of those who may be éngaged in erecting any kind of structure within the limits of the city.

The reason | have for asking the above question is that, in conversation with one of the insurance agents, the other day, he in- formed.me that all policies had a,provision in them that the houses insured should be in conformity with the city by-law, and should such buildings be destroyed by fire that no insurance could be claimed by the insurer. If this is the case, you willsee the necessity of having the by-law published for the citizens information. Some time ago I brought to the notice of the late Mayor and Council the care less way in which some persons allowed flues to be built, and remarked that we had more than one fire from defective flues. I think, if I re- member aright, that the late Mayor informed me that, as soon as possible, he would have the Recorder frame a bye-law, for the pur- pose of having both old and new flues and fur- naces examined—the old flues.or those already built to be examined, and the new flues in course of erection to be inspected ; but if this by-law was ever. framed or became law, I am not aware of it. The working of this law need not entail any extra cost on the city, as the City Surveyor could, while making his rounds, inspect all those flues where there might be a danger of their being carelessly~built. ©

Most certainly if we have not such a by- law in the city, we should have.one, as a house owner cannot tell how soon his neigh)or’s house may take fire from some defect in the flue or furnace arrangements, and burn the both out.
