We are dlametrically opposed to fiscal rapacity, and will at all times exert our selves in bringing to light and justice frauds coming to our notice be they great or small, We propose to show up the true inwardness at an early period of one of the greatest frauds ever attempted on a people in politics scoundrels are many and men of honor and principle are few. We propose 10 deal fairly ard draw story line of distinction between those who wroRged our people uuthoughtfully and those who have and are endeavoring to do so maliciously for personal motives and plumber. This paper shall be the frank aud outspoken advocate of the honest hard working and business classes of our people as long as it is under the present ownership, if rings are to exist and control the political affairs of our Territory in the future when may we ever expect to find ourselves in the ascendency and sailing in the fair breezes of prosperi ty worthy that of such an industrious thriving young Territory as ours.

Especial to the srsr1srI.l

New York, Aug. 15.-The Worlds Lon
don special says: Gladstone. who had a
long interview last night with Lord Gran
vile and Lord ~Carlingford, his Lieuten-
ants in the Lords, gave them liberty to say
that he will not yield q hairs breadth in
the struggle Of the Land Bill, and that he
will seize the opportunity Of calling the
attention of the country to the fact that
the work Of the entire session Of the ma
jority Of the peoples representatives can
be destroyed in a lev hours.
The Duke OF Argyle is denounced by the
Radical press as the instigator of the OBJ
structive policy Of the Lords, and it GER
tainly does seem that as if to prepare HIM
self for marrying into a Tory family, he
did his best to wreck the Ministry which
he had deserted. 1t is said, indeed, that
the Duke is so incensed against the Gov
eminent that he has written to the Mar
quis Of Lorne, recommending him to re-
sign the Governor-G eneralship Of Canada,
that the house of Argyle may not be be-
holden in any respect to the Ministry Of
the day.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-The Birmingham
Executive Committee passed a resolution
last night expressing alarm and indigna-
ton at the action of the House of Lords,
and urging the Government not to give
way, and declaring that the time had ar
rived for the Nation TO decide that the pol
icy declared by the Government and the
Of Commons to be essential to the
peace and welfare Of the country, and shall
not be subject to reversal by an i~rresponsi-
bic hereditary Chamber.

STARS.

The number of stars visible in the
clearest, darkest night even to the naked
eye seems almost endless, yet in the
whole heavens, seen from both hemis-
pheres, the keenest vision cannot see
more than ., 500 stars classified into mag
nitudes as follows: first magnitude, 20;
second. So; third, 200; fourth, $50; fifth,
1900; sixth, $3.50. Our modern tele-
scopes of the largest size reveal stars
down to the twentieth magnitude, and as
at the thirteenth magnitude there are es-
timated to be 80, 900. 900. it may be pre-.
sumed that the grand total of all the
twenty magnitudes is astonishingly great.
