THE POOR. GROWING POORER.

In regard to his often quoted statement in a former
Report, that "the rich are growing richer and the poor
poorer," an explanation is made, which will perhaps make
that proposition more acceptable than it has been to a
large number of Mr. Wells's readers. He says :
" Some of the difficulties which may seem to stand in
the way of the acceptance of the assertion heretofore made,
and which the Commissioner now repeats and again
asserts—viz., that the poor of the United States, under and
in consequence of the existing system of taxation and
currency condition combined, tend to grow poorer, may
possibly be cleared away by remembering that the poor of
this country are not, and never have been, the same as a
class as the poor of Great Britain and continental Europe.
Here poverty, as a general thing, means deprivation of
comforts, luxuries ; there, on the (Ater hand, poverty
reaches a lower depth and implies the deprivation of
necessities and the possibility of starvation. Now the ex-
pression "the poor of the United States under tLe existing
system tend to grow poorer," in its widest signification,
means this: that the great majori y of profcFsional men,
of clerks, shopmen and accountants, of whole classes of
mechanics, whose products, the results of constant em-
ployment, would naturally tend to be in excess of a con-
sumption limited by legislation to au exclusively domestic
market, and even there restricted by price, such as shoe-
makers, tailors, hatters, and miners, and at the present
time papermakers, and wool and cotton •-•Hnuers and
weavers; all females who earn a livelihood in ts.:tories, in
shoe-binding and stitching, and in ordinary sewing; and,
finally, all those who have only unskilled labour in its
rudest forms to sell—it means that all of these, who con-

~..~--~

stitute a large proportion of the population, find their ex-
penses for rent, fuel, food, and clothing maintaining a
greater ratio to their receipts than formerly. As an in-
evitable result, accumulation is impaired and comfort
diminished. Appearances, however, are maintained ; hence
the illusion of apparently undiminished prosperity. Yet
there is no escaping the conclusions before arrived at, if
we pay regard to the weight of evidence.".

THE CUBAN iNstratEcnor.

The Epoca, a Madrid paper, confirms the n ews of the
failure of the Cuban insurrection. The political situation
in the island is, it says, becoming more favour-
able to the Spanish cause. Official communi-
cations lately received announce that several
chiefs and a large number of insurgents in the
east of the island have submitted to the Spanish authori-
ties, laying down their arms. The sanitary state of the
country was improving. The troops were being dis-
tributed among the encampments, and the whole con-
dition of affairs was more auspicious.

UNITY.

Some not unnatural questions are being raised by
the attitude of our primates and prelates to the
Greek Church and its representative, Archbishop
Lycurgus, now in Liverpool. If their lordships
send representatives to the consecration of a
church of the Eastern Communion, which uses so
many rites and ceremonies entirely foreign to the
constitution of tin English Church, what relation
ought they to take towards churches—or sects as they
would perhaps call them—nearer home, much more in
sympathy with the creed of the Prayer-book ? A
Liverpool Presbyterian Minister is much grieved with
what the Archbishop of Canterbury and: York, and
the Bishop of Chester have done. They sent repro-
smtatives to the. Greek Church. Would they allow
a clergyman in either of their dioceses to preach in a
Presbyterian Church ? He thinks not ; but ho will
try. He has written to the Vicar of St. Silas, Liverpool,
proposing to allow him his pulpit in exchange for that
of the parish church, each minister to preach on the
unity of Christianity. It may be pointed out, how-
ever, that the Archbishop of Syra is not asked
to preach in the English churches. The fraternisa-
tion ends before the divers " teachings " begin.

pALNLESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY,
by Mr. B. L. MOSELY, the Dentist by special appoint-
ment, 312, REGENT- smEET, exactly opposite the Royal
Polytechnic, and 23. MOORGATE-STREET, CITY. Estab-
lished 1820. This, the most perfected system of pain-
less dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L.
Mosely, is r commended by the Hospitals and adopted
by the profession as one of the greatest improvements
of the age for the alleviation. of pain and restoration
of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such
perfected success (the result of forty years' practical
pxperience) at his only residences, as above. The su-
perlative excellence of this system is perfee, immunity
from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren-
dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected.
Qualities : These teeth never change colour or decay—in
fit unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection
impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied and
youthful appearance restored—mastication and articulation
guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says : —"So good
an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original."
Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Consultation

THE COUNCIL AT ROME.

The Times' correspondent continues to prophecy
evil things of the (Ecumenical Council. The
Council itself neither can nor will do the work
of clearing off the theological accumulations
of three centuries. " Sitting in splendid
vestments, in the largest building in the world,
and hearing long Latin speeches, of which few can
catch even a word of meaning, is not work but mere
suffering. It is only work in the sense that some of
our Sunday inflictions at home aro ; nay, not even in
that sense. The Fathers are anxious to be released.
There are 50 or 70 requests for leave of absence, and
now a much larger number are getting up a peti-
tion for a month's holiday, in which some, it is
said, propose a tour in the Holy Land. The idea
itself would be preposterous if the Fathers thought
they were doing actual work here." But, on the
other hand, all the four committees have been elected
under Jesuit management, and all that has to be done
will be in their safe and strong hands. The com-
mittees, and not the Council, will have the control of
all questions, except those of supreme importance. And
yet this Times' correspondent, with whom is associated
another not less fierce, declares that there will
be no declaration of Infallibility. It is likely that
the civil Powers will prevent such an extreme result
—though they will have, no objection, to anything
like a vote of confidence in the Pope. Unfortunately
the world has been " done" on one or two important
matters by the Times' correspondent, and it is now
g3tting cautious of him.

FOREIGN NOTES.

PIRACY IN THE CHINESE SEAS.

A merchant has sent to the Times an extract from a
Hong Kong letter, which states that another shocking
piracy has just occurred. The British bark Crofton
sprung a leak while near Macao, and the ship must after-
wards have been taken by pirates, who carried the captain
and remainder of the crew to the Island of Montamba,
close by Macao, near the Tyfea, where they beheaded the
prisoners, and burnt the bodies on the beach. Information
was given at Macao by some fishermen, and investigation
set on foot by the Prussian corvette Medusa, English
gunvessel Midge, and Portuguese gunboat Camoes. Dis-
tinct traces of the tragedy were discovered, with many of
the Crofton's papers. The Crofton herself has not been
found, and has probably sunk. Piracy is rapidly increasing
again because, says the merchant, the English authorities
have left its suppression to the care of Chinese gunboats,
and restrained the action of English cruisers in Chinese
waters. Foreigners in those parts find their position daily
becoming more critical, and look forward to a war as a
means of extrication from their difficulties.

THE LAND CONFERENCE AT DUELENT.

The requisition convening the Irish National Con-
ference on the land question is a very influential one,
and wins the admiration of the Freeman's Journal,
in which it is published. It is a representative re-
quisition, says our contemporary, and the conference
which it calls will be a representative conference. It
is signed by threw peers, twenty members of
Parliament, nearly all the mayors in Ireland, forty
chairmen of town commissioners, several presidents
of farmers' clubs, many chairmen and guardians of
p3or-law unions, deputy lieutenants, justices of the
peace, landed proprietors, professional men, and
clergymen. In fact so strong is the requisition that
the Freeman is enthusiastic enough to declare that
nothing of the hind has been seen in Ireland before,
and sanguine enough to hope that from the conference
to the realisation of fixity of tenure will bo but a
step.

distinctive principles of the Uhurch of the present."
It had one object in view, which would be divided
into three heads—the elevation of man's moral, intel-
lectual, and religious character. The definite mission
of the Church was to bring in all intellectual wan-
derers, if such a thing were possible. There would
be a Lord's Supper once in six months, but
the members could observe it or not, as they
chose • there would be no dogmatism. As to bap-
tism, AIL Duncan added, if any one considered the
sprinkling of water to be the proper mode then
for them that should be done; or if any pre-
ferred immersion, their wishes should be consulted.
He did not intend to give up his own
views on religious matters. He would hold by the
Baptist doctrine, and give three lectures and one
sermon in the month. Everyone would be at liberty
to pass the plate at the door; they could contribute
to the cause just as they felt inclined.

him what course he should pursue in the critical
condition of the Empire. To this Count Beust replied
that he wished for the main'tenance of the Constitution
and the just influence of the German powers, and he was
willing to make all possible concessions, in order that there
might be unity among the different countries placed under
the sceptre of the Emperor.

AN ALTERATION IN THE ESTIMATES.

The Globe speaks of an important change in the
mode of presenting the estimates as likely to be
adopted. At present it is the custom for the War
Office to charge in the estimates the year's gross
cost of the army, and to pay over to the Exchequer
all moneys accruing from the sale of stores.
Mr. Cardwell and Lord Northbrook have, it is said,
both appealed to Mr. Gladstone to allow
them to depart from this rule, so far as to strike a
balance in the War Office between the charges for
the army, and the assets realised by the sale of
old stores, so as to reduce the figure in the Es-
timates to the net cost. The reason given for
this reform is that under the present system the
country forms an exaggerated idea of the actual cost
of the army.

THE NEW CAB LAW.

The London public have not unnaturally grown impa-
tient under the delays which have attended the long-
promised improvement in the cab system. It will bo a
consolation, however, to know that the autho-
rities have not been idle, and that there
is now some probability of a speedy
exchange of the miserable service which has so long
disgraced the Metropolis, for a more respectable and
efficient one. It is understood that the intention is
to apply a higher standard in the inspection of
licensed cabs with as little delay as may be
compatible with some degree of consideration
for the capital, invested in the present carriages.
Under the new regime the loitering cabs, or
" crawlers," will be done away with by the increase
of stands and the stringency of the new regulations,
while the raising of the inspection standard will
remove that monopoly of " respectability " in which
railway companies have so long revelled.

ME. BRIGHT AND THE 'UNIVERSITY DILL.

A correspondent complains of the_manner in which
Mr. Bright, at Birmingham, has " cold shouldered"
the bill for the repeal of University Tests. He says
when a leading Cabinet Minister, in the middle of
January, begins to make apologies for doing
nothing, we may be pretty well sure that
nothing is intended to be done. He then
enumerates various unnecessary delays that have
taken place in the transaction of public business.
He admits the truth of Mr. Bright's observation, that
you cannot drive six omnibuses abreast through
Temple Bar, but' adds that if the directors of the
Imperial Omnibus Company (Limited) choose to wait
till noon, and then start all their omnibuses at once,
it is they who are responsible for the block. The writer
rilicules Lord Melbourne's favourite doctrine "Can't
you have it alone ?" and considers it will have suffi-
cient adherents without Mr. Bright becoming its
apostle. He quite appreciates the momentary dex-
terity of putting forward the great Radical of the
Cabinet on the eve of the session to throw cold water
on Liberalism. He thinks, however, that iu the long
run clever tactics are seldom wise policy.

MR. AYItTON AND THE FLOWER BEDS.

A strong cry is raised against Mr. Ayrton.
Two journals, the Pall Mall Gazette and
the Telegraph, plead that Mr. Ayrton should
continue to provide flower-beds in the metro-
politan parks, and not be miserly in cutting
off this pleasure—a pleasure fir the poor as
well as for the rich. The Pall Mall Gazette
enters into an elaborate argument on the subject.
The Echo of last night, however, stated in a manner
which was intended to be official, that the rumours
that Mr. Ayrton was about to "reduce" the flowers
were premature. " Mr. Ayrton proposes to have the
subject of park-gardening investigated by a skilful
horticulturist, who is to report on the best means of
producing good effects without waste." The Pall
Mall Gazette, it may be added, found a
difficulty in its argument to which we
have several times alluded. The parks are to a
great extent local not national "institutions." Why
should the State pay forparks for Londoners any more
than for the people of Manchester, of Hull, or New-
castle ? The Pall Mall Gazette, no more than our-
selves, sees a reason why. Its only reply is that
London has no municipality, no real government.
Until it has it must rely upon the nation to provide
its good things for it.

TIIE LEAGUE.

The National Education League is working very
actively in all parts of the country. At Islington
on Monday night Sir C. W. Mike took the chair, and
once more held forth on those secular views, of which
he is such an uncompromising exponent. The natural
result of the compulsory principle, he argues,
is unsectarian education. If parents are com-
pelled to educate their children, they, ought
at least to have their own choice in the
matter of reliolous teaching. Sir Charles says that
clergymen of the Established Church and Noncon-
formist ministers are rapidly joining the League.
• " Ministers of religion, more so than any others,
knew the impossibility of insisting, or even of
venturing to entertain, the unClenoniinational
system in Ireland, if the denominational
system was insisted upon in this country."
The customary resolutions were passed. At Stock-
port also there was a large meeting on the same
evening ; and a third at Halifax. At the latter town
a Unitarian minister, a New Connexion minister, and
the Rev. R. W. Dale, chairman of the Congregational
Union, advocated League principles. There was yet
a fourth meeting at Worcester, where the speaking
seems to have been of an eminently provincial type.
One gentleman urged as an argument in favour of
compulsion that we were environed by compulsion
on all sides; compelled to breathe, to eat, and—to
vaccinate ! Therefore there could be no harm in
compelling us to educate. And if this extension of
the compulsory principle will to anything to improve
these education speeches, the sooner it is done the
better.

AUSTRALIAN MEAT.

By command of the Queen, Sir Thomas Biddulph
kas written an encouraging letter to Mr. Tallerman,
the manager of the Australian meat agency in
London. It says : "It will be very gratifying to
Her Majesty if the colonists of Australia are enabled
to furnish a supply of wholesome animal food at a
price within the reach of the poorer classes of
this country, and Her Majesty will watch with interest
the progress of such an undertaking." The
penny dinner movement seems to be meeting with
greater favour. Large numbers of customers, not
wholly of the labouring class, regularly frequent the

The American journals state that New Year's day in
Richmond was kept as it never has been kept before.
General Canby and the Governor and Mayor gave public
receptions, which were well attended. The Coloured
Society celebrated the anniversary of the Emancipation
Proclamation, and called • on Governor Walker, who
mule them a speech. He adverted to the occasion
Vaich they celebrated, arid told them they were his
p:;ers before the law, and were vested with the samerights
aml privileges, and he, as Governor, would see that these
rights and privileges were secured to them. lie appealed
t) them to shew by their action that the experiment which
hal been tried among the coloured people had been a suc-
cessful one. General Imboden spoke in a similar strain to
the assembly.

TIIE RED RIVER SETTLEMENT.

The New York Tribune states that the United States
Government has been informed that the Canadian adhe-
rents in the Red River settlements have incited
the Sioux Indians to a raid on Pembina and
St. Joseph, as a revenge for the aid afforded to the Red
rebellion by American citizens. The Government is asked
to provide protection for American residents at Pembina.
There appears to be no idea of giving up the cause among
the people in the settlement, who will go in for annexation
to the United States before they will submit to Canada.
Governor 11I'Dougall has started for home. When
the spring comes there will be great excitement,
as it has been announced that there will be
invading armies in the country. The New York Tribune
will not readily believe the Sioux story. It trusts that
the Canadians will be equally slow to credit the charge
that the Americans encourage attacks on their Dominion.
" The act of the Red River insurgents bears their own
original signmanual, and, according to Governor llPDougall
himself, was mainly dictated by causes with which Ameri
cans have nothing to do. If the neighbourhood of pros-
perous and populous States is to he suspected as something
in the nature of conspiracy, we do not know what will
help the Canadians except to turn conspirators, and ploi
for annexation."

THE BIRMINGTLAAI UNION.

The principles of the Birmingham Educational
Union were advocated at a meeting on Monday
evening, presided over by one of the town clergy.
Several working men took part in the discussion.
One said he was the friend of denominational
education, though he was of opinion that secular
training was better than none. Another
said the extension of the present system was
all that was needed to supply an excellent
scheme of national instruction. A third, more vigo-
rous still, denounced the plan of unsectarian schools,
adding that he would rather go to prison than send any
chilid of.' his to such a place. The clergyman who
presided affirmed that there mzst be some kind of
compulsion for bad parents. His ()pillion was that
bne Lest kina of compulsion would be to Introduce a
regulation that working men's children, when they
attained the working age, would not be allowed to
earn a penny unless they could read and write.

TILE REDUCTIONS.

Mr. Lowe's pen is still being used in striking out
items of expenditure. The most recent of his econo-
mies is severely criticised. He has refused to fill up
the editorship of the Rolls Manuscripts—an office
of no little importance at a time when
a Royal Commission is engaged in collecting
all the old documents they can find. The salary is
£4OO a year. The refusal to fill up the vacant
judgeship is still persisted in. The Lord Chancellor
is said to favour it; and to be contemplating using
it as a pretext for raising the whole question
of legal judicature. This is good news for the law
reformers. The Manchester Guardian states that
Lord Hatherley is thinking of making the West-
minster courts tribunals for appeal, As such, of
course, they wonld not need so many judges. The
County Court system, or some plan like it, must. be
extended.
