PROFESSIONAL CHARITIES.

There is tendency in this age to what
may be termed "pr fessional charity"
which, except rs it serves to stir up the peo-
pie to thought on subjects of this kind, is
productive of much harm. AS one who has
made this matter a study for years, l would
say, that while intelligent and kindly
criticism is often helpful, the fault-fnding
spirit, which assumes that all such institu-
tions need reforming, when the critic, per-
haps, has never been inside the walls of but
few of them, shows ignorance of true
christian charity" to say the least, and
have found too, that no knowledge derived
frcm books ca / take away the necessity of
actual experience in judging of tn sc things.
The fact that your society exists for the pur-
pose of informing your civ, and others on
the subjects of this kind is proof that the
world is awakening to an appreciation of
their Importance.

this kind occurred to me ii was merely with

NEEDLESS ALARM.

a movement favorable to Canadian indie
nondcnce is on foot in Montreal. 1t is not of
sufficient magnitude to have attracted any
attention in this country, but 1t has
alarmed The Toronto Globe, and that
staunch advocate of the present colonial sys-
fem declares that independence, If gained
now. must necessarily end in annexation.
Having made this assertion, it goes on to
berate the United States in the following
style:
l. ,hero any hone that the American Nation viii
resnect our rights when we stand 100000 to their
10 600 OOOi Have they ever respected our rights IN
a single instance upon which there has been u dis
rutei Have they not already broken at least one
solemn treaty to prejudice DID they not ehter
n formal protest against the fisheries award
which we know 10 be altogether inadequate rs
pnvment for tho privileges conferred Did they not
deuur 70 naymcnt put It of until. the last minute
and tbcn raise n host of difficulties for use against
IL in the future Is there the slightest chance tna
they viii pay any more than their own NAluA''oh
whom we are less able 10 enforce our rghtsi any ono
of these questions be answered so a. 10 sho" th
,lro Is 81 chance OF Canadian independence being re-
sncced by Americana let know IT, ANA the facts upon
which tho answer is based. We say all history proves
that Americans would extend Justice To US than
they have extended 10 their Indians or to the MeX
cans.
Now we do not want to argue the veIatlous
fisheries question over again. The Canadians
have got our money. and ought TO be content
70 let the matter drop. We paid about five
times rs much rs the privileges they agreed
TO give were worth, and yet they are not
willing we shodld catch the fish We
have bought at so oxorbitant a price.
As to enforced annexation, the Canadians may
rest perfectly easy. They have nothing to
fear in that direction. There was a time,
when the United States Government was
controlled by the slaye-holding aristocracy OF
the South, when schemes OF territorial ag-
grandizement were pushed for the benefit
of the slave power, but that time has gone
by forever. Now there exists public con-
science in this country which would condemn
any project for robbing friendly ncishbOr
of one foot Of her soil. No war of con
quest such rs we waged against Mexico
would be possible. The great and only ILL
mastering nation Of the civilized world, we
beg to remind The Globe, is not the United
States. but England, to which it is so Loyalty
attached.
The Canadians can pursue any experiment
of Independence they may want TO try with
ont the slightest apprehension OF uniIiendly
action. or even uuGriendly feeling, from their
big neghbor. In fact, their relations with
the United States rs an independent
nation would be more cordial than
they are now, because we should respect
them more if they had the manliness to let
90 OF the apron-strings of the mother country,
and we should settle our little diplomatic
difficulties in the generous spirit which Il
great country can afford to show toward
little one.

have met an unknown fate, the Joseph Ferens

hon. and thence to Philadelphia, loaded-and unless
she was an exception to the general rule, heavily
loaded-with coal. Ii may be worth noting, as a
ossble olew 10 the cause of these disasters if in
deed they have any cause IN common, that n
considerable percentage of the foundercd ships
carried cargoes of the same kind. The RoscOm-
mon and Kensington. both belonging to the
same owners, aud lost during tho year on
their way from Cardiff to Havana; the Rich
mond belonging to tho owners of the Joseph
Pease, (missng from this port since October )and
foundered year ago on her way from Cardiif TO
Malta; the Heespont, abandoned last January
when four days out from Cardiff the c. S. Butler,
also from Cardiff and abandoned a year ago
all these were deeply laden with steam coal.
Another conspicuous illustration in point was the
Stallngbro'. remarkably fine vessel of 700 tons
burlen. classified at Iloyds 100 A 1, and insured
for 100000, which sailed from Cardiff in the
Spring of '7S, with coal cargo, and was abandoned
forty-cght hours afterward. These instances would
seem TO indicate that steam coal is freight almost
as fatal rs grain.
In the official inquiry made by the Board Of Trade
respeciing the loss of the Richmond il appeared
that while the vessel was laboring in storm,
which she might have wcathered, there was an ex-
plosion of the frightfully destructive gas gcnor-
ated by the coal, which damaged her seriously,
and forced the crew to abandon her. We havc ex-
amined similar inquiries made in regard to the
Hellespont and the Stalllngbro'. In the ono case
poorly constructed matches gave way under
pressure Of the sen. and In the other the
engineer had neglected to close some water
tight connections between the engine-room
and the oceau that thef fires put out in heavy

to conjecture as to the efficient cause Of the foun-
dering. But perhaps the explosive properties

THE PERUVIAN REVOLUrION.

The flight of President Prado from Peru,
the overthrow of his government, and the
proclamation of Pierola as dictator are the
natural results of the popular discomfort
ut Lima, which has been growing deeper with
each defeat of the national forces. Having
needlessly plunged Peru into war with Chill,
President Prado could not expect to escape
the penalty of failure. His conduct Of
the war was marked by gross incOmpetency.
He entered it uDprepared, and never succeeded
in redeeming the blunder The ruin of the Navy,
the destruction of the Army, and the loss of
important ports are the immediate net results
of his administration. The finances are, more

America may be losing her shipping owing
to the lack of an aggressive policy on the parton
her Government, and her mercantile interests
may be passing steadily from the cohtrOi
of her native merchants into foreign hands
but she is gaining continually with reference
to Ter industries A statement on an
other page concerning tie iron making
Of 1870 shows that, like others, that III
dustry has just enjoyed n remarkable year
OF prosperity and expansion. The facts sho"
the enormous capacity of the United States TO
consume iron. If the wealth and power OF a
nation, to say nothing Of its civilization,
are rated by the amount of iron 1t
makes and consumes, as certainly ap-
pears to be the case in this age, the yearly
bulletins of our iron industry tell a most salts
factory story.
It is not yet known what policy Governor
Galcelon and his colleagues will pursue after
the overwhelming rebuke the Supreme
Court has administered. Difficulties multi
ply for them. Two OF the counted-ln
Senators declared before the decision OF the
Court was given tnat IL III WIS au'eiS0 w
them they would not accept their seats.
Every case in the whole number OF
thirty il said to be covered
by the decision, and these men are
bound by their words to say nothing OF the
demands of honor, to refuse their places. Three
counted-in members of the House have now
announced their determination not to profit
by the fraud, and this number alone should
be sufficient to defeat the plot, even If no other
Fusionists join them IN this movement. Whlle
the Governor and his accomplices-for they
deserve the name-would no doubt prefer to
ignore the Courts decision. they must do so
in face of the fact that the opinion OF the
Court has never been disregarded in all
the many years since Maine was
State though its counsel has been
asked in this very manner fifty times. But
for the Fusionists to retreat now Is to con-
fess themselves guilty of shameful
crime, and to offer their backs to the
lash of public opinion. 1t Is almost too much
to expect of men who have gone so far that
they should not go further. The indications now
are they will go further, taking the ground
that the action of the Council cannot be re-
viewed at this advanced stage. This Is the only
thing wanting TO the complete rehabilitation
of Maine as q Republican State.
