SEAPORTH. FRIDAY, Aug. 4th, 1893
The Row in the British Parlia-
ment.
Seldom has party feeling run so high in
Great Britain as it bas over the Irish Home
Rale Bill. There have been many stirring
scenes in the House of Commons, and many
bitter taunts flung at opponents, but never
since its foundation has there been such a
scene as occurred as the last clauses of the
Home Rule Bill were rushed through Com-
mittee. All went well until Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain arose to speak. The Brumma-
gen orator's refined rowdyism and cutting,
impudent sneers have many times before
made trouble, and when he compared Mr.
Gladstone, the ' upright, honorable, Chris-
tian gentleman, a nobleman by nature if
ever there was one, to Herod in hie later
years, his goad cut deeper than ordinary
human nature could bear, and Mr. T. P.
'O'Connor jumped on to a bench and shout-
. ed " Judas." Immediately the ory was
taken np, and " Judas," "" Judas," rang
through the Chamber. Then the row began,
and an indescribable melee resulted, which
it took some time to quell. Blows were
freely exchanged, and scratched faces and
black eyes were, if not fashionable, -at least
numerous. It was the Unionist party from
which the first taunt came, a member of the
same party vrho struck the Best blow, and
on them must lie the odium of the whole
proceeding. Their' aneeriag descriptions of
the eoenes that would take place in an Irish
Parliament have lost their points Mr.
Gladstone, no doubt, feels humiliated that
snoh a scene should have occurred while he
was Premier and leader of the House, but
the leadersof the great Conservative party,
if they have the feelings and instincts of
gentlemen-whichwe do not doubt -must
feel doubly humiliated in view of the air of
conscious superiority they have always
borne ;; but, perhaps they are like some
Canadian " Loyalists," who are loyal when
the Government suits them, and when 'it
doesn't, it ie disloyal and they are loyal
still. Perhaps the British Conservatives
are a law unto themselves in the matter of
gentlemanly conduct, and so oan never be
at fault.. At any rate, Canadians and Am-
ericans, too, who have been in the habit of
pointing politicians of their own countries
to the Imperial Parliament as a pattern of
propriety, decorum, and all that is gentle-
manly and commendable, will have to look
out for a new model.
lad to vote at elections to the Dominion
Parliament only. In this way the uniform
franchise would be malutalned, the machin-
ery for the oorreotion cif the lista is einiple
and inexpensive, while the 'additional ex-
pense of the list" would be a mere trifle. It
seems to us that this would be a very cheap
and easy method of getting over the present
difficulty, end would be one which should be
satiufaotory to all desiring honest lists.
The Franchise Act
There is no law on the Statute Book that
is so distasteful to the politicians on both
sides of politics as the Dominion Franchise
Act. It is so iniquitously unjust and is
sooutrageously expensive and burdensome
to both representatiges and people, that but
for fear of the ;party whip it would have
been wiped out of exietenee long ago. In
fact, it has been cause for rebellion among
Government supportersseveral times, and
an open rupture between the Government
and its supporters has been avoided only
by promises that the obnoxious measure
would be at once amended so as to be less
objectionable. These promisee, however,
have never been carried out. But, there
are signs which make it evident that pat-
ience will soon cease to be a virtue on the
part of Government eupportere, and that a
change will - be peremptorily demanded.
These threatenings are causing such war m
supporters of the Dominion Government as
the Montreal Gazette, the Ottawa Citizen
and other journals, to suggest various
changes and amendments. None - of these,
however, seem to be much better than the
present system, which is so cumbersome and
expensive to both members and the country
that the Government dare not have the
voters' lista revised- more frequently than
once in three or four years. As a result of
of this, thousands of electors are disfran-
chised at every by-eleotion,while the door is
left wide open for impersonation and other
species of corruption .
As a remedy for this state of affairs the
Liberals, at their recent Convention at Ot-
tawa, recommended reverting to the Pro-
vincial lists as used before the passage of the
recent Franchise Act, This is objected to
on two grcunde : First, it ie held that the
Dominion has no right to depend on the
Provinces to fix the franchise for the Do-
minion, and second, because it is maintained
that all sections of the Dominion should
have a uniform basis of representation to the
Dominion Parliament. This would not be
the case if the Provincial lists were adopted
for Dominion purposes, each of the Provin-
ces having a different basis of representa-
tion. There is force in both these objec-
tions. Bat it seems to us there is a very
simple method of getting over the difficulty,
and at the same time having a uniform baais
of representation to Parliament as now.
Each Province has now to prepare lists for
Municipal and Provincial purposes. These
lists are prepared under the supervision of
the municipal officers, and are as fair and
acurate as lists can be got. In Ontario, these
Bite are now composed of three parte, viz :
Persons entitled to vote at both municipal
elections and elections to the Legislative
Assembly ; persons entitled to vote at elec-
tions to the Legislative Assembly only
and persons entitled to vote at muni-
cipal eleotions only. Now, why not add
another part to these Iists of persons entit-
is
The Situation in the United
States.
The situation over the border is still one
of great gravity. There seems little change,
and probably will be little until after the
special session of Congress convenes, this
month. Letters and petitions are said to be
veritably pouring in to the President, ask-
ing for the repeal- of the silver purchasing
clauses of the Sherman Aot, but, on the
other hand, the Populists in Colorado and
Kaneas threaten armed rebellion if the Gov-
ernment takes the step, which will, they
insist, completely demonetize silver. These
cranky vaporinge, however, need not be
much heeded, for even were all the silver
States to rebel they could not hold out six
months. It is a case of pure eelfiehness on
their part. In order to fill their own pockets
easily they are willing to endanger the
business of the whole country, and they
really do not seem to care much what be-
comes of the majority of their fellow coun-
trymen. Were it not for this inhuman sel-
fishness we would sympathize heartily with
the people of the Silver States, for, un-
doubtedly, the closing of the mines is a
grevioue blow to them. and -in many oases
will entail great hardship. -But silver !min-
ing is not the only industry that can be
profitably followed in any of these States,
nor will the silver mining industry be en-
tirely destroyed by any legislation Congress
may enact it regard to that meta, as a med-
ium of exchange. The profit may be made
considerably smaller for a few years, and
many mines will undoubtedly have to be
shut down, but very soon new methods and
new machinery Will be introduced and the
industry wilt,.bjr its own inherent worth,
take the place that belongs to it in the in-
dustrial world. This being the Daae, it is
simply preposterous for a very small minor-
ity of the people of the United States to de-
mand that the financial wllfare of the whole
nation be endangered for 1 their benefit, and
to threaten bloodshed if their demands are
not acceded to. Snob pr oeedings ehould be
treated in a most firm anperemptory man-
ner, as no doubt they wil be.

spend on theirs. He oan afford to take them

in Canada are workingmen.
The Siamese Imbroglio.
We were right last week in surmising that
the incident in Siam was gotten up by the
French Government for political effect. But,
unhappily for the desired effect, the French
Ministers reckoned without the host when
tbey brushed against Great Britain's inter-
ests. When the answer came from Siam to
their ultimatum they at once declared a_
commercial blockade, but Lord Dufferin,
the British Ambassador at Paris, promptly
notified the French Government that Eng-
lish ships must not be interfered with, or
there would be trouble. The French Gov-
ernment saw the point and decided to let
English vessels come and go as they pleased,
provided they carried no munitions of war
to .the Siamese. Now it turns out that the
greater proportion of Siamese commerce is
carried on in British merchant vessels, and
that Siam owns but one merchant vessel.
Consequently, the French blockade is a
farce of the most ridiculous description.
Jean Crapand ehould have looked before
he took that reckless leap. While this lit
tle diplomatic passage was going on between
London and Paris, however, Siam got badly
frightened, and decided to accept the whole
ultimatum, as . delivered by the French.
This introduces another feature into the
case, but, judging from the previous history
of the affair, France will eventually crawl
out at, the erhall end of the born. It is be-
lieved''that Germany has assured England
of her active sympathy, and as France had
a verybad case to begin with she will, of
course, bank down as gracefully as possible,
and yet another war cloud fizzle will dre.p
into the abyss of the past. The firmness
and good sense displayed by the British Gov-
ernment in this incident is above praise, and
Earls Roseberry and Dufferin have re -earned
the reputation of being Britain's foremost
diplomatists. ,
We're all Workingm en.
In reference to the " workingman " cry
so much indulged in in some quarters these
times, the Canada Presbyterian says :
" When that brilliant eon of Canada, the
late Thomas Moss, was a candidto for West
Toronto, he settled the workingman cry in.a
style that stopped it for that ,o�
cry was being used against him,;
disposed of it by showing that
CONTINENTAL Union, or in other words,
Annexation, which bid fair a few months
ago4o become an Important factor in Can
sdian politics, seems to be dying a natural
death. The question, although in some re-
spects attractive, was never taken hold of
by the Canadian people. Its premature
death may be ascribed largely to the finan-
cial and _ commercial breakdown in . the
United States. - This, at any rate, has has-
tened the end. Mr. Thomas M. White, the
late Secretary of! the Continental Union
Club, was in Detroit a few days ago, and in
response to a question as to what the club is
doing is reported to have said :
" At present we are doing little or noth-
ing, and we cannot do much until the pres-
ent financial trouble in the States comes to
a head. Of course 'it bas nothing really con-
nected with the important question of union
between the two countries, but people take
it up. When we point out to a man the poor
situation of Canada in the trade question,
he points to the States and says that the
United States is as bad off as Canada. Of
course this is not eobut he thinks so,and for
this reason we decided some time ago to
ease up for awhile until the money question
is settled."

ntest. The
nd Mr.Moss
there were
just seventeen . men -if we rightly remem-
ber -in Toronto who.. lived without labor,
and his opponent was*one of them. Alt the
electors, with the exception of these seven-
teen, had to work with hand or brain."
There is nothing so absurd as this working-
man cry. There are few men in Canada
who do not have to work in some way to
earn a living, and why it should be consid-
ered necessary to give special consideration
and special favors to -those who work with
their hands, or why a line should be drawn
between those who work with their hands
and those who work with their heads, we
have never _yet seen demonstrated. The one
kind of work is equally as honorable as the
other, and if commiseration is needed any-
where, it is needed most by those who have
to earn their bred and butter by brain
work. As a rule they wear out sooner and
die younger than theother class who exer-
cise their muscles andrent their brains. In
speaking of the sympathy that is being
wasted just now in Toronto in connection
with the Sunday street car question, and
the so-called " working classes," the Pres-
byterian very truly says
How many of those who patronizingly
speak for what they Call the laboring
classes, can live without labor themselves.
There is a grim humor in hearing a lawyer,
who has to work every hour of the day to
earn his salt, or an editor who has hard
work to rub along on sixteen hours a day,
talking loftily about the wage-earners they
want to carry to the fresh air on Sunday.
THE DOMINION OAPITAL,.
(By Our Special; Correspondent.)
OTTAWA, July 81, 1 3.
The air . is fall of talk about Sir John
Thompson retiring from the Premiership and
Sir Charles Tupper taking his plane. I
thetrol aiestoff Without ..fv wn.," _P O.
ore did not refuse but the non-oof�►misston-
ed akin and men .did. The ,Adjutant
General here says that the Commanding
Officer should have platted the entire Com
patty under arrest and 11 his own battalion
would not'do this, he should have held the
train and if necessary called on the Brigade
Major of Montreal to have supplied him
with sufficient force to accomplish the ar-
rest. The Battalion was underthecommand
of Colonel Smith who is Sergeant -at -Arms
for the House of Commons and he did not
choose to adopt this course. When the In-
subordinate Company returned home next
day, however, he instructed the Captain to
inform- his men that they were all discharged
from the service and to return their clothes
into the store. This course was a little
hasty, however, as he had not the power to
dismiss the men, so he rescinded his order,
made a report to the Deputy Adjutant Gen-
eral of the District, who in his turn made a
report to Ottawa and a court of inquiry will
probably be instituted by General Herbert
In the proper form.
The Minister of Railways bas returned
from a tour ofjthe St. Lawrence Canals. He
says that the work of building the dame at
the Cornwall Canal bas not been commenced
and that the American authorities had no
ground therefore for protesting against the
building of the dame on the ground that
they would flood the lands on the American
shore, as Mr. Page, the late Chief Engineer
of Canals predioted that such a work would
do. Pretests have certainly been sent to
the authorities at Weshingtou and an inter-
national dispute may grow out of the Gov-
ernment's decision- to ignore the advice of
such amexperienoed engineer as Mr. Page,
and adpt the advice of Dr. Bergin the
member from that looality. If members of
Parliam nt interfered less in the construc-
tion of Public Works there would be less
trouble about thein and very muoh less ex-
pense. ' It is now coming out that the inter-
ference of politicians in the building of the
Curran Bridge at Montreal was one- of the
causes of that huge scandal bei which ap-
parently nearly half a million dollars of the
public money has been wasted.
venture to say there is not a word of truth
in it. In the first place Sir Charles Tupper
is a very old man andof in the best of
health. In the second �laoe he holds a com-
fortable post to which a, large salary is at-
tached in a country which has made him a
Baronet and which he hopes will make him
a Lord. an the third place Sir.John Thomp-
son did not take the Premiership nine
months ago in order to abandon it and make
room for Sir Charles Tupper or anybody
else. The story i, that: Sir John Thompson
is to go on the Supreme: Court Bench, where
there ie now a vacancy by the death of Mr.
Justine Paterson. If lie had desired to go
on the Supreme Court Bench he would have
taken the Chief Justiceship of that Court
which was vacant at the time he took the
Premierahip and he is not likely therefore to
now take a puisne Judgeship and have as his
senior on the Bench his former Deputy, Mr.
Justice Sedgewiok. The fact ie the Ontario
Conservatives are not strong enough to in-
dulge their desire toiforoe Sir John Thompe
son out. They ar strong enough in num-
bers but not in ability or force of character
and their representatives in the Cabinet,
Sir John Thompson oan twist around his
finger. Knowing something of the man, I
believe now he has put his hand to the,
plough, he -will not turnback, but will lead
the party through the next general election. '
If he is defeated he will very likely retire
from public life and devote himself to the
practice of law for the purpose of amassing
some wealth, as he is now a very poor man.
Sir Charles Tupper may be coming out to
induce the Government to do something
further for the Chigneoto Marine Railway
which is an undertaking that he created
in his own Province of Nova Scotia and in-
duced Parliament to aid to the extent of
several millions of dollars. The undertak-
ing has failed before it is finished. If Tup-
per induces the Government to come to its
assistance he will demonstrate the posses-
sion of considerable power, because last year
when application was made to guarantee the
interest on the bonds, or make an advanoe
payment of the subsidy, the Government re-
fused.
Some of the Conservative papers are mak-
ing great boasts of the Trade Returns for the
fiscal year just closed, the figures for which
I gave last week. The boas t consists of an
increase in the exports amounting to a little
over a million of dollars; while nothing is
said of the decrease in the imports, amount-
ing to nearly five million': dollars. Imports
are'tbe evidence of the wealth of the nation
and their decrease is by no means a matter
for boasts. The only teat, however, as to
whether Canada's foreign trade is satisfac-
tory or not, is to find out the value of the
trade per head now and in previous years.
It is idle to compare the trade of 1873 in
mere volume with the trade of 1893 because
during these 20 years, while the population
has not grown to anything like the extent
it ehould, it is still 700,000 more and it
would be peculiar if those 700,000 persons
did not increase the volume of trade. Let
me point out, however, that man for man
the trade of 1893 is very Much less than the
trade of 1873. It was then $59.37 per lead
and is now $48, a decrease of over $11 a
head, amounting to a decline of our foreign
trade of $50,000,000. It is even lees than it
was in 1875, which was the middle of Mr.
Mackenzie't term and when the total trade
per head was $51,70. To boaet,therefore,of
figures which indicate a tremendous falling
off in our foreign trade is something akin to
lunacy and if the writers in those papers
which do it,. only understood the subject
they would not make the exhibition they do.
From whatever point of view you take it,
whether in population, amount of debt,
amount of trade, or amount of taxation, the
National Policy has proved more than a dis-
mal failure, for it is now shown conclusively
to be the worst calamity -which ever afflicted
this country. -
The Statistical Year Book for 1892 bas
just been issued by the Department of Agri-
culture and is as full of errors as an - egg is
full of meat, and as replete with partizan
comment and argument as was last year's
issue and last year's issue was so bad that
when it wait brought up in Parliament, the
Minister of Finance had to admit that it con-
tained improper paragraphs. The figures in
last year'a book are revised in•.this year's
and shown to have been wrong and an ex-
amination of this year's figures next year
will probably prove them to be wrong also.
The official tables of the trade and Naviga-
tion Returns are altered in this book _so as
to be something quite different, and for that
reason no reliance whateveroan be placed
upon any of the figures in the Statistical
Year Book. It would be well for the public
to know this, as those who are opposed to
the Government want to know the actual
facts and not the doctored facts. The Op-
position next session will be justified in re-
fusing to vote the money for the .publication
of this volume any longer and there is not
the slightest doubt that they will take this
course.
General Herbert has returned from Eng-
land and is now engaged in considering the
case of the insubordinate Company of the
14th Battalion in Kingston. This Battalion

and after a company had taken possession of
each of the cars the remaining company were
ordered to distribute themselves among the
other five, but this they refused to do and

TERRIFIC STRUGGLE WITH FIRE. A
thirty-six days' battle with flames was ended
last Thursday night on the arrival at San
Francisco of the l3ritish ship Cederbank from
Newcastle, New South Wales. The vessel
started March 3, coal laden. On Juue 20,
the cargo was discovered to be on fire. Two
hundred and sixty tons of coal were thrown
overboard and theo, owing to the extreme
heat in the hold and great difficulty in
handling the burning coal, it was found nec-
essary to desist. Large quantities of water
were thrown into the hold day and night.
On July 26 two explosions occurred, and
flames burst out and ran all over the hold,
but the hatches were battened down. The
vessel was beached and her cargo flooded.
