TE! CRUISE 0! `I'll ALERT. As a rule Departmental Blue Books are about as dry and uninteresting as they can well be. Occasionally we get one that is readable and interesting, and the report of Lieutenant Gordon of the Second Expedition to Hudson's Bay is one of them. We learnmuch from this report of a region but little known to people generally, and although the territories round Hudson's Bay can never attract people like the Great Northwest, yet `the abundance of minerals of great` economic value which the researches have revealed, will in time render that part of our Do- minion a source of wealth that can hardly now be appreciated. `f , B I AI I II I -I fast.

The government "has exhibited every disposition to meet the United States in settling this vexatious question, but unfortunately the over-ri'eaching_ proclivities of the down east Yankee, have Drevented a fair and honest settlement. We want none of that yielding by the Imperial government to unjust claims which has marked the diplomacy of the United States and Britain with reference to Dominion ques- ' tions. Unfortunately British statesmen ' have always been over-reached bythose ` of, our neighbors. By the Ashburton 7' `treaty a large portion of territory on our ' north east boundaryiwas given away ; in the San Juan Island affair there was the same yielding of manifest `rights of this country, and now it is clear that there is a determination to gain undue advantages on our valuable shing grounds. To this end Senator Frye .blusters and threatens , and Congressman Dingley calls the action of the Dominion in the protection of our property barbarous. It has been as- serted in the American Senate that Britain is under too heavy a mortgage to keep peace with the United States to sustain the action of the Dominion government against Yankee shermen stealing our sh. If that were true it would prove that meted upon an [era of decadence. Should the Imperial 5 government yield to this peculiar style of 1 I 1 international dealing and sacrice our ` just rights to_Yankee greed and bluster, we hope there is suicient public spirit in : 4>h{.'h. 5; . A." .A,: , .- a I `fill: Dominion to show the home authori- ties that the day for such treatment of our interests is over. It is questionable indeed whether the admission of our sh products into American markets free of duty would compensate for the damage done to our sheries by the practice of American sherman in our waters. The destruction of sh, and the driving them away from our coasts by the offal thrown overboard from American vessels, are constantly lessening the value of these sheries. While it is desirable that the most peaceful relations should exist be- tween the Dominion and United States as the best interests of both countries are promoted by such friendly relations it is evident that this condition of things can exist only by fair and honest international dealings. We hope therefore that our p aople will rmly resist any encroachment upon our rights` and any indication of the Imperial government to yield to the un-` dignied blustering of members of the. American Senate. i rnn+--_-"__nn1nn .......m.. The trial of Jaehne, the NewrYork Alderman, who was the first arrested tor receiving a bribe of $25,000 for his votein the case of elevated railway charter, has been convicted, and will, no doubt, get a term in the Stateprison. It is pretty certain the whole batch will be found guilty and made to work for the State for a term `of `years for their crime. No city in the world` has been so plun- dered by its oicials, and it is little wonder that the people are indignant at the scandalous transaction.

We regret that Mr. McCarthy s bill for ill? extension of the hours of polling in cities and towns did not -pass. With the franchise every facility should be granted the working man to use it without takinl the time of his employer or being in any way under an obligation to him in. this respect. In moving the second reading Mr. McCarthy said :-It was felt to be a great inconvenience for workmen to leave their employment during work hours in order to record their vote. as they had either to obtain the permission of their employers, or else lose part of the day s wages. In large cities, like Toronto, where many workmen lived a long distance from their homes, itwas impossible for men to vote during the dinner hour, and the ex- tension of the hour for voting would be a great boon. There was but very little discussion when the House divided which it did_on the merits of the bill, and not as a party question. We think the principle of the bill is right and hope it will ulti- mately be passed. _ The Globe true to its policy of blacken- I in; the ehm<.=t9.r of in political oppon- ents. repeated last Saturday the charge that Mr. McCarthy was paid $5,000 a year out of the parliamentary subsidy to the P.

It seems that Professor Grimmer, the German who prophesied a low years ago that the world was to be visited by atoms, tempests, poods, earthquakes, - epidemics and other evils in consequence of the peculiar positions of the planets, was not far -astray in some of his predic- tions. These evils were to continue to visit motherearth for a number of years to the destruction of multitudes of un- fortunates Whether Professor Grimmer s idea of the cause of these phenomena be right or wrong, we do not stop to inquire, but certainly for the last few years there has been terrible destruction of life and `property from the agencies named. Mr. Blake's paradise in the West, is the scene of the greatest violence of the terrible cyclone. In some places houses are said i to have been taken up bodily in the vortex ' of the whirl and scattered into fragments over the surrounding country. Large numbers of persons have lost their lives V and valuable property has been destroyed. The tornado that swept over a portion of h Spain last Wednesday, killed or injured over six hundred persons. What new at- mospheric conditions there are producing these terrible storms seem to have es- caped the observation of our scientists. The danger to life should suggest to those who are brought within the `influence of 1 these cyclones some means of safety from L the dangers to which they are so frequently ` and so suddenly subjected. The fact that v Canada is apparently out of the track of `these desolating agencies, especially of earthquakes and cyclones, renders it, apart from all other. considerations, s most j-_!'_,,I,I I C om am open: hoii-tiheggt -to the who witluuch a traitor.

In speaking on a question of privelege in the House on Monday, Mr. McCarthy gave again the facts upon which the Globe's base charge is made and as were given in the ADVANCE` of last week. In conclusion Mr. Mc- Carthy said : It was due to his position as a public man that he should make this statement in the House, but so tar as the slander might be made outside, he thought he knew how to protect himself. (Cheers.) If the slander were repeated he would at all events ascertain whether a public man was underthe protection of the laws of the country, and whether he could be libelled with impunity. (Loud cheers.) We are glad Mr. McCarthy has taken this stand. It is about time the policy of in- discriminate slander had a check.

I LONDON, May 15 -The past week has been specially marked by two things-' abuse of Mr. Gladstone and the invasion I of society by ancient Greece.` As regards ' the first of these, never within memory: has nartisan feeling found such bitter ex- 1 pression against anybody as against the` Prime Minister during the last few days. i At a political soiree on Wednesday even- ' ing,`Mr. Chamberlain,` talking about the situation, began speaking of Mr. Gladstone by saying, (`That infernal old-. Then he corrected himself with a smile to that 1 extremely astute old gentleman. This is a specimen. Then an old epigram of years ago has been revived again to duty, namely : Gladstone will sacrice a prin- ciple where he will not give up a penny. , Even nonsensical verses about him have been going the rounds. This for example was raising the laugh at a party last night : , Have you heard of this wicked old man, Who does all the mischief he can? His initials are three, and the last is a `G, 5 He's a terribly wickedold man. But by far the bitterest, cleverest and, in a certain sense, truest thing ever said about Gladstone was said by Labouchere as he came out of the F0088 of Commons on Monday night, on discovering he had been fooled by the Government allowing him to promise in their name concessions they neverintended to make. Said he: That old fox always has two aces up his * sleeve. But I wouldn't. mind that so much if he didn't always want to`make you believe that a higher power put them there. 'l'eaohersAuoo1a.tion.
