THE WEST INDIAN IN LONDON.

Mr.. Irving has shown considerable vigour Id
the Government of Trinidad, and some good
has undoubtedly resulted but there are some
points in his recent message that do not ap.
pear to be. satisfactory. The fact cannot be
denied that during the last ten years a great
increase of expenditure has taken place. A
large amount of money has been yearly spent
upon public works, and now the Governor pro.
poses to, systematise this expenditure by devot-
ing annually q still larger sum of money to
entirely new public works. The opinion seems
to be strongly entertained that any surplus
funds at the disposal of the Government should
be devoted not to non reproductive works, but
to the relief of taxation, and especially OF, that
kindoftaxation which prevents the full develop.
ment of the production and Of
the Island. Those ~senseless tonnage duties,
for instance, are eminently adapted to deprive
the island of its natural advantages as an en-
tTepot of commerce.. Duties like these call
aloud for abolition. II there is q surplus of
Income over expenditure amounting to Atty
thousand pounds, while roads. bridges. and
buildings must of course be kept 10 repair, and
railway enterprise rendered productive, the
money could not be better spent, 10 the present
state of the colony, than in the relief OF taxa

Mr.. Forster spoke at Edinburgh on Eduos.
ton on Saturday (Nov. s., when receiving the
honorary gift of the freedom Of the city of
Edinburgh, and told an excellent story of the
use education had been to Seotohmen. A
Scotchman recently applied to a Bradford manu-
facturer for the place Of porter. "Are you
sure" says the manufacturer, "that you mean
porter !" Porter to begin WITH" says the
Scotchmau. Yes" says the manufacturer
porter to begin with, but partner to end with. I
have had three ScOtchmen porters to begin with,
and alt three are my partners now" Mr.
Forster closed his speech with a useful hint on
the great Importance of keeping up strong local
centres of opinion (of which Edinburgh, after
London, would no doubt be one of the most
importantly, if only for the sake Of preventing
that too rapid formation of a not very strong
public opinion which the rspidity of Communi.
cation 10 these islands is tending to promote.
Public opinions said Mr.. Forster, cannot be too
pOwerfulin the end, but " it may be too powerful
in the beginning" In other Words it may be-
formed by the mere fash ofa sympathy, and
without adequate discussion, without the
real canvassing of educated intelligence. Local
centres, with strong intellectual traditions of
their own, are most important to prevent the
easy transmission of premature1 waves Of lie
grounded susceptibility, and certainly TO NO

The Same Old Talk.

The fire eaters of the Democratic
press are talking III the old strain.
They want the controle Of the Gov
eminent, and if they cannot obtain it
by fair means, they are threatening
to take it by foul means. The Re
publican party stands in the way of
their unholy ambition. Unless they
can defeat it at the polls, or frighten
it ont Of existence, their chances to
carry out their revolutionary schemes
grow less and less, every year. The
following extract of Bourbon gascon-
AIDE is taken from Pomcroy's Demo-
crat, New York, of September IL.
In speaking Of the struggle coming"
it says:
''The final result rests with the peo-
pie themselves. The course of the
Republican party and Of Grant is
open before them-they can under
stand it. They can see that it is lead
ing directly to Imperialism. and if
they would save the nation from all
the evils sure to flow from it, they
will see to it that the reelection of
Grant is prevented, first by the pow
er of the majority, speaking through
the ballot box, and, if that is with
stood, by giving it force and effect
on the battle field. If our liberties
were worth fighting for to gain, they
are worth fighting for to save"
OF course, "the final result rests
with the people Themselves" and
they are likely to see that the result is
in accordance with their loyal wishes.
They understand all about the past
record Of the Republican party, aud
President Grant. They are proud of
both records, and will do nothing to
injure either As for Imperialism,
they are not likely to get frightened
over this cry. They are in favor of
saving what they fought for: their
liberties, and the good government
which makes their enjoyment posi-
BILE II the Democrat, or its followers,
are inclined to resist the popular will,
as expressed at the ballot-box, let
them try it. The nation is ready to
maintain itself against all attacks,
whether they come from unrepentant
rebels, or their Northern admirers.

Democratic Nominations.

The Democratic Conventions at
Lancaster last week nominated for
State Senator Noah Ii Virgin, Of
Platteville for County Superinten-
dent of Schools, P BARLEY of Ri ON
ington; for Member of the Assembly
in the Second district, John BerDcr
of Liberty. The Senatorial Conven-
ton should have had 1870 delegates,
but was composed of 65 only, who
represented 81 votes, or two-thirds Of
a fall county delegation. So that
one-third of the Democracy of Grant
county wero unrepresented in the
choice made for State Senator.
Fourteen towns failed to send sim
gle delegate. Does this look like a
"great uprising of the peofls" for a
return to Democratic principles? III

Singular Conversion of Heathen.

The heather, Francis ID. Moulton,
has recently written a letter to the
District Attorney of Brooklyn, urging
him TO proceed with the trial Of the
libel suits of Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher against Dir. Moulton. In
that correspondence the latter tax
the most advanced ground of ortho-
doxy. He says "that it is not within
the economy OF Gods providence
that any interest of either morals or
policy is ever impaired or retarded
by the investigation and proclamation
of truth" Again, he says: "The
charge is true; he (Beecher) knows
it is true, and whatever the imperfec-
tions of mans Tribunals, the Supreme
Ruler will some day reveal the truth
and vindicate the right"
Here we begin to see the good that
is coming out of the ilth and nasti
ness of this trial. Before it began
Mouton protested heathenism but
his eyes have been opened and he
sees the necessity of an omniscient
tribunal TO yindicate the veracity of
Mr.. Moulton and convict Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher of perjury. 1t is pro
babe also that Mr.. Moulton believes
in a he'll for the special punishment of
such Williams as Beecher. Mouton is
more orthodox to day than Beecher
ever was; but who would have
dreamed that in the ECONOMY of
Gods providence" Moulton's
heath enism could be squeezed out of
him in such trial?
Now, we have some hopes for
Gov. Taylor-who probably more
than any other man, excepting Bar
stow, that ever occupied the Guber-
material chair in this State, has cor
rupted his office. He is tie greatest
heather to-day in Wisconsin, politi-
cally and officially considering. "The
investigation and proclamation oftruth"
will certainly result in November in
his conversion from political heathen-
ism, if he reads well the signs of the
times
