TP0rBLE AHEAD FOE ENGLAND.

There's worse than dynamite in store for
Great Britain. Our BrOoklyn Congressman,
William T. Robinson is loaded up with remarks
concerning that dcspOtc Government which are
calculated when they 90 of to make much dis
turbance in the palaces of the noble. Some of
them have already been discharged but the
magazine is very far from beng exhausted
MIR. Robinson is believed to harbOr hard feel
ings against England not only in his capacity
as representative Of constituents who have been
downtroddcn for centuries 10y that cruel Gov
crnment, but on his own personal account
For it Is argued that no man i'll simple repre-
sentative capacity would warm up so suddenly
and 90 off as it were so spontaneously at the
mention Of the British Government without
some personal feeling. 1t is strongly conjec
turcd that England has done something to him.
And vet there is Mr.. Samuel Cox, who fires UP
with equal fury upon the same prOvOcatlon, and
certainly Great Britain has done nothing to
hun that lie need personally get mad about;
unless indeed the provCrbial British lmpcr-
viousness to humor may be held sufficient cause
of offence Possibly there may be nothing in
either case in the nature OF a personal grudge
it may be pure philanthropy and sympathy for
the downtroddcn, with no alloy of personal i'll
will, that Incites their fervid rhetoric and in
spires their lurid utteranceS. At any rate,
| whatever be the motive of their hostility, they
| both talk in such way that Great Britain, il
not too much occupied with other concerns,
must be alarmed No nation can listen to such
remarks as they are in the habit of making and
remain calm.
The feeling is gaining ground in this country
| that Ireland is one of the United States. One
of the most significant features of the last pO-
| litical campaign in this State was the adoption
ly the County Democracy, amidst great en-
thusiasm, of a resolution expressive OF the
greatest disgust for the British Government OF
account of its treatment of Parnell and his as
sociatcs and Of profound sympathy with the
victims of British tyranny. In the brief debate

bic to attribute Guitcau's crime to any motive

the craving for nOtoricty of monstrous ego

studied him dispassionately and closely for the
smallest symptoms OF mental arrangement
which could lead to a doubt as to his sanity,
but they found none. Prcc0nccivcd theories as

atrocity of his deed and the apparent lack OF
cause TO impcl him to it, had 10 be abandoned

feeling of detcstaton and horror at Guiteau's

C1N1DLAN INM[GRfTION.

We think Lord Lorne cxagSerates the I'M
portancc of having emigrants bound for Canada
landed at Cana ian ports instead of at those
of the United States Doubtless, as he says
many who land in this country change their
minds after arriving, and conclude to remain
here. bat. on the other hand, many who go
directly to Canada pack UP after stay OF a
few davs or weeks, and push on to our Western
States and Territories The GOvcrnOr-General
is in error in suppOsing that any persuasion Is
used here to turn cmlgrantS from a purpose 10
settle in the Provinces. The truth Is, the
stream of humanity pouring IN upon us from
Europe is Of such magnitude that II gives
rs serious concern lest it should produce
some unfavorabc effect before 1t can mlngie
with the currents of our national life, and we
should not be in the least sorry if some small
riyuIets were to separate from the main body
and trickle off northward to Canada. On the
contrary, it. would give most thoughtful Amcri-
cans real satisfaction to know that Canada
was getting n share Of the immigration rrla-
lively as large as our own. Instead OF appre-
hendng that we are coaxing away the people
her agents have shipped to her from Europe,
let her coax away those bound to this country
if she can We shall not complain. There
are enough immigrants, and to spare, for both
countries With the superior advantages
offered by our Western wheat fields and
pasture lands, the number who will be per-
shaded to seek a colonial government and high
northern latitude viii not be numerous enough
to be missed.
Perhaps Canada will be moro fortunate In
obtaining immigrants a few years hence when
onr New West is mcasurably well settled
Natural conditions are against her, to say
nothing of the political disadvantage she is
under by reason of her dependence upon Eng
land. In the older portions of the Dominion
new farms are only obtained by clearing of
heavy forests of timber and then they are OF
very moderate fertility. In Manitoba and
further West there are extensive prarles, but
the winters are very severe and the springs
late and wet. Nevertheless there mnSt be 4
GOOD deal of wild land worth taking rs Il gift
in the vast region north Of us, aud, as the
Canadian Government is persistent and en-
thusiastic in trumpctinS its praises, and enter
prising in sending agents to Europe to offer Il

thousand miles from land it is not a
pleasant thing to learn that the ship has sprung
a leak. Whether the country has sprung leak
financially is the question which many persons
were anxiously considering yesterday. The
tate Of exchange vas a6Out ut the shipping
point. The possibility that ii would 90 higher
and that a large amount III gold would pres
emily be sent to Europe, caused people to pause
in many undertakings, and to consider the
futurc. The immediate cause of the rise III cX-
change was the sale of large block OF Phila
dcphia and Reading stock by the McCalmonts,
who had lost confidence in Mr.. Gowen, and had
failed TO prevent his success in the recent cleo
ton of officers They sold about $4,000
shares of stock of the par value OF 500 per
share, probably realizing about 81, or
S5,71O, O00 and part of this sum was imme'
diatcly rcmittcd. But this would have had
little effect if the state OF foreign trade hau
been favorable. The principal difficulty Is that
exports have been steadily declining and I'M
ports increasing.
The decrease of exports has been due to spec
ulaton, and not to actual lack of surplus pro-
ducts for sale The accumulation Of ursold
stocks of cotton, grain, provisions, petroleum
and many other articles, is unusually large. or
nclrocum it is believed that the stock now
held awaiting sale in this country exceeds the
) entire consumption of the world for two years.
The stoc,i of cotton was large at this time last
wear, when the greatest crop ever produced was
seeking market, bat is much larger now. AS
TO the stocks of grain available for export,
though there is wide difference of opinion, il
cannot hc denied that there is a surplus Of
many million bushels, because a great part Of
the exports thus far has been from the crops
| produced in 1850.
Another effective cause OF the advance in ex-
change has been the financial disturbance in
| Paris. Large sums have been drawn from
| London already to meet necessities in France,
and am strain upon the market III London acts
Immediately upon the money market here.
| The latest dispatches give assurance that the
! trouble in France has been met by an arrange

| hoped that any lasting disturbance may be thus
prevented. But the credit Of hundreds Of inan-
cial companies in France must have received Il
severe shock and when public diStrust once
