THE DANGEROU$ CLASSES.
Some weeks ago a pamphlet Which
has attracted some attention appear.
ed in London entitled Who Are Our
Dangerous • Classes ? The writer
after describing the different classes
of people found in a great city, and
the motives which govern them, puts
them all, in two great divisions—
those who desire to better their
position in life and .those who are
satisfied as they are. In the former
class, of course, are included all wage_
Workers and la the..seoond;-alt-who
have inherited fortunes, who have
landed estates or, have retired on a
competency.
Restiessness[says the writer of the pamph•
let]. is but another name for ambition,
and this is what actuates the working class
of society. They desire to improve their
condition, to advance with their times; and
to have some hand in the administration
of the government ander which they live.
Opposed to this restless ambition of the
progressive class is the sluggish content-
ment of the self-satisfied class who desire
no change in the well-worn machinery of
society. They have enough ; the world
in its present state is good silecaigh for
them ; they can live well aVr Happily,
What matters it to thein who may die,. of,
want ? They protest against any change
and prefer to lcoep on in the same old ruts
that society has run in for the last century.
They do not seem to be aware that cities
are larger and wants more numerous and
varisd now than a hundred years ago.
The author goes on to say that the
"self:satisfied class" really constitute
the dangerous class of society, be-
cause, being well off they see no rea-
son for change, and therefore oppose
every progressive movement and
cling to old forms. He denounces
this lethargy and declares that the so-
called lower• classes are waking up to
the knowledge of higher and better
things, and that the Ane has corie
Ibhen they must -obtain their rights;..
that the upper classes, who are really
the dangerous classes, must come
out of their dormancy and assist in
the inevitable'.revolution of old ideas
or else they "muststand from under,
for the people propose now to de•
mend as rights what once they were
wont to ask as gracious privileges."
There is much in this pamphlet that
is true, especially in regard to Eng-
land, where there is a vast amount of
entailed wealth in the hands of men
who never earned it,,and by whom it
is used in many eases only for, their
own selfish pleasure. It is so common
for these men to defend everything
that is "established," and to oppose
every measure offered to improve
the condition of the mass of the
people, that it is not strange this
socialistic writer includes them
among the dangerous classes. We
have seen the pamphlet referred to by
some Americen papers as though the
statements quoted above were true
even of this country.
A very proper and important ques-
tion in this connection is. What are
the rights of the "lower classo-s ?"
Certainly among them is the right
by industry, economy and education
to improve their condition, to raise
themselves to positions among the
so-called higher classes. having
done this must they at once
be considered as belonging to the
"dangerous classes ?" Must tbey
surrender their property or
other advantages gained by applica
tion and self-denial to those who,
while deploring their condition -make
no effort to better it ? Czn there be
progress witliout a guarantee of the
undisturbed possession of the fruits
of honest industry and frugality ? A
right to equality of opportunity all
men can justly demand, but it will
not. do for the unsuccessful to de--
wand
e-wand as a right that ch,ey be made
equal e4.arers• in the advantages of
other wen's efforts. • Those who have
been successful should not, and in
this country generally are not indif-
ferent to the condition of those who,
from whatever causes, have been un-
able to raise themselves froni ex-
treme poverty; but the then who
have failed in life have no right .to
denounce those who by honorable
methods have acquired wealth, or to
find fault with a competitive system
which is absolutely essential to civili-
zation and Progress. Relief of dis-
tress is a duty, and for this provision
has to be made at the expense of
society, or of human associations and
individuals; but the most radical
and far-reaching :measures for the
help of those who cannot manage to
live in comfort and decency without
assistance, are those which develop
and stimulate whatever of.independ-
ence, self-respect and self-reliance
they possess, and tend to make them
hopeful and self-supporting.
In this country the dangerous
classes are the ignorant, the idle and
vicious, who with a desire for the
oomfovt,i and luxuries of life, have an
aversion to work, by which alone
they can be obtained, and whose in,
olinations put them in sympathy
with every movement designed to
produce a conflict between employ-
ers'and the employed, together with
the men who dishonestly use public
positions of honor and trust in their
own interests and in the interests of
corporations an d loombinations,there-
by corrupting the legislation of the
country and defeating the will of the
people, making elections by ballot a
farce, and popular government a
mockery.—Open Court.

The Globe has been trying to
make out, backed by Wandering
Willie, that the principles upon
which confederation were founded
have bean departed from.- And that
the compact has not been a success in

that the Provinces themselves should
have the sole right of determining
how Dominion representatives
should be chosen. That in fact the

port of its contention the Globe
treacherously introduces into reso-

FIGHTING FOR THE BiBLE.
The Petorboro board of education
had a field night over the Bible and
scripture readings. Every vote
was a tie and had to be decided
by the chairman. The result of
the whole discussion and vote is that
the Bible is to be real in the schools
in the morning. The schools are to
be closed by the reading of a pass

THE MIGH•r HAVE BEEN
If the Montreal Witness hes ever,
like Pilate, asked "What it truth?"
like Pilate it has not paused fora
reply. Certainly, if " it ever knew
what truth was, the knowledge has
been lost. On Tuesday, in reference
to the HaldiMaud election, it said
the -result of the trial showed that
though Dr. i%Ioutague "had held
the pleat for a session Mr.
Colter had a majority of fico of the
undoubted' votes." Now, tihe .
"result of the trial" did not
show anything of the sort.
The trial was not concluded, hence
there wus no "result" to it. At the
stage reached, Mr. Colter had a
majority of three, and four ballots
held • under advisement by the
Judge. Chancellor Boyd intimated
that there might be a majority of
one either way, but he seemed to
think that if he were to pass on all
the ballots, there would be a tie.
If Mr. Colter had an assurance of a
majority, why did he agree to a com-
promise and a new election? Why did
1►e •agree to pay part of the costs of
the trial ?—Spectator.
ONE FOR MCCARTIIY
During the exatni-nntian--of wit-
nesses in the trial of the unseated
Campbell ex M. P. for `Vest Kent,
Mr. Cassels for the respondent
sought to break down the evidence
of a witness who swore ho received
from an agent of Mr. Campbell $2
to vote for the first panto on the
ballot,' Mr. Campbell, the witness
afterward voting for , Smyth. He
eased his conscience-by-tusn-iug-th•e,
ballot paper upside down so that
Sm.yth's naive was the first w1ler1 he
marked it. The following occurred
during the examination of Ode wit -
Mr. Cassells—You have had a
loose character around here for some
time 1
Witness—I have not. 'My char..
acter is as, good around here as
yours.
Q—Yet you admit you took a
bribe ; that you would have voted
twice if you could, and that you des
ceived Mr. Hadley. You call that
a good character ?
Mr. hIeOarthy—He did not call
his character good ; he only said it
was good as Mr. Cassells'.
THE HARDNESS OF CIIRIS•TIANITY.
Of the English Church Congress
at Wolverhampton in London the
Spectator says:'"The most interesting;
seance as yet has been that of Weci•
nesday, when the subject was
"Socialism," and Mr, Champion
was allowed to speak. His idea
was that Christianity, if preached 111
its simplicity, would be found to be
Socialist ; and this was expressed
also by all the bishops who spoke.
Even the Bishop of Derry admitted
this, though he characterized the
latest development of Socialism—
anarchism—as a "zymotic disease."
There was, in fact, a spirit of conces-
sion apparent in the ask nit,ly which
is good or bird aceordit.g te, ti e den
nition of Socialism. -If the word
merely means fraternity in Christ,
and equality before God, it is good ;
but if it implies, as we think it
does, that the most sacred of objects
is equal comfort, then Concession is
bad. Even .lir. Stanley Leighton,
in his manly speech, worst too far,
for be said that "a dun, proportion
between remuneration and exer-
tion" is a Christian doctrine. Is it?
It seems to us that iu the parable of
the pennies, Christ taught with
emphasis the exact reverse, emplias•
zing in the strongest way the right
of tenployers to make contracts ir,
respective of the work to be done.
We wish the Congress would give
one clay ,to that forgotten subject,
the hardness of Christianity. There
are !dimly in nature, and before
the vide has ended, th'' churches
will discover that there aro plenty
also in Christaiu truth. Man was
not created only to be smug,"
Tile Late Judge O'Connor.

THE GREAT GLENGARRY
LIBEL SUIT.
•
Judge O'Connor's Rulings—The
Editor Suffers.
The case of alleged libel brought
by Mr. Purcell, M. P. for Glengarry,
•against Mr. C. J. Stillwell, editor of
the Glengarrian newspaper of Alex-
andria, came off at Cornwall one day
-last--week.----During-.the—recent gen.
eras "election there was published in
the Glengarrian a letter signed
"Flota Macdonald," which was an
appeal to the men of Glengarry • to
vote down Mr. Purcell, because .his
character-wiis not of that. pure 'type
that should represent Glengarry in
Parliament. The letter accused Mr.
Purcell of drunkenness, of Sabbath
breaking and. general unfitness of
character to be a legislator. Its tono
growing out of the feeling that had
existed: His I•Ionor. however, per-
emptorily 'shut
er-emptorily'shut him off. Mr. Pur -
cell's harvesting on Sunday was pros
ven. Mr. Leitch at length remarked
that there was no use in going act
with the case, and addressed the
jury, holding inferentially that he
had been hampered by the court in
not being allowed to examine wit-
nesses. Mr. D. B. Maclennan, Q. C.,
followed for the prosecution. These
His HIonor Judge O'Connor repri-
manded for having told the jury that
a duty rested on each juryman to de'.
cide the case according to his con-
science. •Ile laid down press ethics
in Montreal, and Judge O'Conner
ruled that she could not go to Mon-
treal with her evidence. .1L•. Leitch,
of Messrs- Leitch & Pringle, for the
defendant, insisted that 11e should be
allowed to prove the assertions of
the letter of "Flora Macdonald,"
"that Mr. Purcell bad dragged. down
one of Glengarry's fair daughters,"
holding her to he a daughter of Glen-
garry, even though she went to Mon-
treal. His Ilonor was obdurate. Mr.
Leitch said he might as well abandon
his case if he Were not allowed to
prove these matters. He then calf
ed the local registrar of the High
Court ro show that there clad been a
suit for alimony between Mrs. Purs
cell and Mr. Purcell at one time
publication. It was put in evidence
that Mr. Purcell was addicted to tak-
ing liquor and that he had been in-
toxicated ; that he had treated from
it flask at a certain school picnic in
Charlottenburg. Dr. Falkner, of
Lancaster, was being examined to
prove the more serious charge, when
he was stopped by Judge O'Connor,
who said he had no right to go back
sixteen years, Mrs. Larocque was on
the point of giving testimony con-
cerning Gertrude Shaver end Mr.
Purcell at Williamstown when the
judge stopped her. It was evident
that she was going to give testimony
concerning Gertie Shaver's residence
was strong and took the ground that
no person who could be accused of
what was denominated "moral lep-
rosy," was fit to represent Glengarry.
Just before the day, for nomination,
Mr. Purcell bad Mr Stillwell arrest•
ed, but lnetead Of being crps,s-exa-
alined as to the truth out the charges,
be absented himself- from Court,
Stillwell la vain demau if_ing that his
accuser should say whether the
charges were true or not. At the
last assizes Mr. Stillwell- came with
witnesses to prove bis allegations,
and Mr. - Purcell abandoned the
charge. Then Mr. Stillwell, in pub•
Bribing a report of the court proceed
ins, republished the letter complain-
ed of, and was again arrested. At
the assizes last week the judge insist-
ed that Mr. Purcell trust drop one
charge, and he dropped that for re•
and editors' duties, charging directly
against Stillwell. One of the judge's'
similes about Mr.Puroell was whether
it would have been right to publish
Mary Magdalene's history if, after
the Saviour had forgiven her, she
should run for Parliament. He ex-
cused Mr. Purcell's Sabbath break.
ing by bringing in the parable of the
oz and the ass. The judge maintain-
ed that there had been no justifica-
tion proven, encs that the jury must
consider whether the libel existed or
not and give a verdict according to
the evidence. After a brief absence
the jury returned and gave a verdict
of guilty and the judge sentenced
editor Stillwell to two month's im•
prisonment and a fine of $200.
A Yankee View of the Irish.
The Irish have talked more and
'done less than any people on the
face of the earth. For centuries
they have bragged to the whole
world of their courage, their wit,
their cleverness, their good nature.
At the present day what do we find
them? A discontented, idle, debts
disowning lot; discontented with
the Government that protects them,
that makes thorn every concession
within its power, that treats them
with a forbearance unexampled in
the reccu'ds of politics. Idle, for
with thousands of hands strong for
the work of the anvil, the plough,
and the loom, their broad land has
neither commercial, nor agricultural
importance; save for a few cities,
where English Capital and English
Custom have built up tho trade.
Dishonest be,ause when a famine
comes upon them they make it au
excuse for not paying the money
they owe. When wo say disloyal
wo mean to use the word in its full
est and fairest meaning. Ireland
lives only through England's pride,
and courage, and military skill. If
England had not fought for herself
and for her own on a hundred bat-
tlefields, Ireland would be the help
less dependency of some continental
power. Irishmen to -day talk of
"tyranny." What is the equitable,
even indulgent Government of Eng-
land
nsland to the despotism which Austria
or Russia has exercised over the
nations they have conquered? Lot
the- disaffected- Irishman -ask this --
question in Lombardy or in Poland.
Ireland belongs to England. Tho
Irish have no more right to ask for
recognition as an independent na•
tion than our Indians have to set
up a Government for themselves on
'the lands that are our property.
The memory of history runs not to
the time when Ireland had a Gov-
ernment sufficiently strong or suffi-
ciently stable to make her respected
among the nations of the earth,'
When the Irishman talks -of his lost
freedom, ho 'recalls only the system
of slavery, ,under the Yei u, ,of bar-
barian kings. Trio country was
conquered and finally conquered
centuries ago as Scotland and Wales
were conquered. It could not be
otherwise., This little blind's breadth
of sea•girt'land could not hold
throe kingdoms. Scotland and Wales
long ago accepted the situation,
made the best of it, and joined their
forces with the greater force to slake
as strong a country as the world has
over known. Only Ireland in its
unproductive idleness stood apart
and waged a mean, cowardly, and
childish war ,egaiust the great na-
tion that in Conquering a wild. laud
tirade its people partners iu its own
greatness end glory. Ireland would
not work with the rest, she would
only beg, for to beg she was not
ashamed and bite the haul that
gave. Since the time thatshe'fonufl
a master she has sat apart from other
peoples, wrapping herself in the
mantle of her poverty, accepting
every gift and cursing the giver.
She has contributed nothing to the
national prosperity. If sho li:is not
benefited by it, it has been because
she would not stretch cut her own
hand. She has posed before the
world as a picturesque martyr: Sho
has done nothing and she has asked
everything, and be it noted the
idleness of Ireland is no question of
disaffection or discouragcnlent,rrisit-
men have rarely done any work,
even in this free country, to im-
prove their social condition. Wo
have found them useful in building
railroads, in digging canals, and
laying sewer pipes. Whenever they
have risen above this level it has
only been to maladminister the
Government of some hapless town,
or city that has fallen into their
clutches. They are too lazy, too
lacking in pluck even to fight. A
handful of friendless, helpless,
hopeless Cubans waged for years a
war against Spain which should
have enlisted all 111e nations of the
earth in their cause. But the Irish-
man hides behind the fence and
shoots his landlord in the back.
This is his idea of courageous war-
faro.—From New York Puck.

' Good morning, sir, Mr. Editor, how are

I owe you for next year's paper—I thought
I'd come and pay
And Mr. Jones is going to take it, and
this is his money here ; '
I shut down lendiu' it to him, and then
coaxed him to try it a year.
And here's a few little items that hap-
pened last week in our, town ;
I thought they'd look good for the paper.
and so I just jotted 'ens down ;
And here is a basket of peaches my wife
picked expressly for you,
And a small bunch of flowers from Jen-
nie—she thought she must send
something too.
You're doing the politica bully, as all of
our family agl•ee; -
Just keep your old goose quill a floppin',
and give them a good one for me.
And now you aro chuck full of business,
and I won't bo taking your time ;
I've things of my own I must tend to—
good nay, sir ; I believe I will climb.
Tho editor sat in his sanctum, and brought
down his fist with a thump ;
God bless that old farmer he, muttered,
he's a regular jolly old trump.
And 'tis thus with our noble profession,
and thus it will ever be still;
There a1'0 801110 who appreciate its labor,
and some who perhaps never will.
But in the great time that is coming, when
Gabriel's trumpet shall sound,
And they who have labored and rested
shall come from the quiveringgrouud,
When they who Have striven and suffered, -
to teach and ennoble the race,
Shall march at the head of the column,
each ono in his God given place, •
As they march through the gates of the
city with proud and victorious tread,
The editor and his assistants will travel
not far from the head.
