William Ewart Gladstone, England's Greed Old Man, celebrated his 81st birthday at his home, Hawar- den Castle, on Monday last. A London despatch says the 'event was celebrated with great rejdicings. Telegrams of con- gratulation and a large number of pres- ents arrived during the early part of the day from all parts of Great Britain, and there were also received rieveral congratulations from the United States. Nearly ' the whole of Mr. Gladstone's family were, present at the Gestic, and I '13 the village was crowded with visitors. )0 - 4.1111.111.1111111.11.1.11.1.111.1.1111111111.11111.1, that in the end the rent between tho English Liberals and the Irish Home -Rule party may lite closed is probahlen but time, patience, and forbearance will be needed to renters to ite former pros- pects •of success the Home - Rule cause. The present strategic opportunity for the Tories is inviting; and of late they have shown no weakness as tacticians in profiting by their enemy's slips. The force of the blow which Mr. Par- nell has dealt the cause of Home Bale by his recent action can be appreciated only by those who remember the intense and inherited *distrust of the Irish which has been the common feelin almost all Englishmen. Mx. "Glad , never showed his greatness of char more then ia, resolutely putting race prejudiee aside when he be convinced of the justice of the claims. No one out of Englan understand how much prejudice Libexala have had to overalome, not in the minds of the public but in own minds, in taking united action I' the Irish party. It has been the herited lielief of the English that Irish areincapable of austained poli action, of contieued public faith, or self•goverornent. This feeling; of years, has been rapidly dying aw Unhappily, the madness of Mr. Par and his appeal to the weakest side of Celtic character have revived it, undone 9ie work of years. flis o action m9st henceforth furnish the m striking illustratiorhof the violation publieand private -faith, while the t pest of violence which he has stirred Ireland furniehes the critics- of the Ir race another evidence that the Irish incapable of self rule. It is too much course;to say that Mr. Parnell has de he Irish cause a fatal. blow; but it not too much to say that he has po poned it at least ten years.

This fountain was erected by the residents of Hayearden, irrespective of politica, to commemorate the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone. At the unveilingof the fountein-Mr. Gladstone made a apeech, in which -he Isaid that after a residence of 50 years at Hawarclen he was 'warmly attached to' . the place and hoped to continue his resi- dence there during the remainder of his 'life. Mr. Gladstone's health is excellent: Retirement of Sir Josh Hickson. s A good, deal of surprise was occasion I :ed the other day on the announcemen being made that Sir Joseph Rieke° a e -had retired from the position of man ager of the Grand Trunk Railway. Si Joseph has mapa.ged the great system o ' railways controlled by the company fo nearly thirty years, and considering th enormous cliffieelties which he had t combat on both sides of, the border, hi success, has been phenomenal. The las great work that owed its inception t him, and which has been carried to suc cessful completion, lathe St. Clair River Tunnel—a connecting link between the , .. United States and Canada—Which will be of vast usefulness to the Grand Trunk and all the other systems of rail- way whioh may'sceept the invitation of its management to use it. It is most un- fortunate that Sir Joseph is compelled to retire by the condition ef his health. . His thousands of friends in the terri- tory through which the Grand Trunk has its lines, whileregretting to learn the motive that oce1esionsehis retirement t** from the active service ofe the tine, will be glad to hear that he wil continue to r' 4 make Canada his home, and act as ad- viser of the Canadian board—s,position 9 in Which he will be able to give inval- na,ble aesietance to the management of .- the road. Mr. L. J. Sergeant, traffic manager of the road, has been seleeted by the directorate as subceasor to Sir Joseph in the general management of the system. The choice nale is eminently - calculated to maintain \the prestige of the Grand Trunk. Mr. Sargeant is an ' experienced railway man. He has served under Sir Joseph Hickson for many years, and has held responsible offices, including the one which he now vacates. o Mr. Parnell's Position. As we, have already intimated the election- in Kilkenny, Ireland, last week, resulted in the return of Sir John rope Hennessy, the anti -Parnell /candi- date, by a majority of 1,400 inla total vote of 6,000. This result on the first 'teat vote on Ptarnell'a standing with the Irish people confirms our prediction that they would avoid the fatal policy, of breaking With those from whose- aid alone they can finally secure Home Rule, for the sakeof clinging with sen- timental devotion to' a once' able leader, who has deliberately thrown away his prestige. There is little doubt that the anti -Parnell euccess in Kilkenny will be confirmed by the elections of January.. Throughout his Irieh campaign, just finished, Mr, Parnell has acted like a desperate man. No terms of abuse have been niloevirulent for him to apply to his opponents; 'sneers and epithets haVe taken the place of argu- ment in nearly every speech. That the Irish party will henceforth be under other leadership seems certain; Reciprocity in the American Senate. Mr. Carlisle, a member of the United ,States Senate, who is an earnest advo- cate of Reciprocity, has introduced into the Senate the following resolution, which was referred to the Senate Com- mittee • on Relations ; with Canada, of which Mr. Hoar, another friend of Re- ciprocity, is chairman. • It is scarcely probable the resolution will be passed at the present Session, but there are good' hopes that it will be sufficiently ad- vanced to receive early action at the next Session, 'Which meets in March next. The following is the resolution : Whereas, there are existing between the Government of the United States and the ,GOvernment of the Dominion of Canada certain controversies with refer- ence to their trade and commerce and concerning the interpretation of treaty stipulations ; and whereas, it is desir- able that the most friendly relations should obtain between the people of the two countries, and that a more extend- ed trade and commerce be established and promoted by such friendly legisla- tion by both countries as will remove all causes of irritation and every obstacle to the healthful, growth and develop- ment of such trade and commerce be- tween them now, therefore, be it re- solved by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that for the purpose of carrying out the epirit and intent embodieditin the foregoing peeamble, the President of the United States be and is hereby authorised and directed to invite the Government of the Dominion of Canada to appoint three commissioners to meet a like num- ber of commis -goners to be appointed by him on behalf of the United States. Such joint commission shall consider all questions relating to the commercial ae- lations of the two countries under exist- ing treaties, 'concurrent legislation or otherwise, and agree upon and recom- mend to their respective Governments1 such legislation as will settle all differ -I ences and controversies between the two countries, and which will in the judge meiat of said joint commisSion best tend to promote the *growth of trade and commerce between the United States and said Dominion of Canada. Stock Frauds. Mr. Charles Chamberlain, "of Leam ington, Ontario, ,writes a sensible and timely letter to the Toronto Globe on the subject of stock registration. iUhe abuses he hints at are real and are ro- ductive of much loss in this country while the remedies he proposes Seem reasonable. The subject should engage the attention ,of our legislators at the first Session as it is one of the greate importance to the people of this Pr vince. Mr. Chamberlain says a THE IORON EXPOSITOR, neeeammemmar' led me to believe that he was not represented, I asked him where he wa registered. He said in Toronto.

We cannot blame the Americans for ignoring our registers while this state of affairs exists.

Our Governs ments legislate against hay -fork swind- lers, oat frauds, noxious weeds, and other nuisances, while these dwindle in- to insignificance when compared with this stock swindle. The bucket shops that there was so much talk about and ttouble with a short *time ago were com- paratively unimportant beside) this kind of deception.
