Mr.. Arnold on Tuesday raised the
annual debate on household franchise
in the counties, his plan being, when
a uniform franchise had been conced-
ed, to divide the country into dis
trlcts containing 10000 souls, as
nearly as might be, each rural dis
trict created being called, when posi-
bic, by the name of a DISTINGUISHED
borough within its boundary, Mr..
Gladstone made a very persuasive
speech in favour of household suffrage
in the counties, but declined to enter
on the redistribution question III a
Session when the facilities for trans
acting public business were SO small.
Mr.. Blennerhassett asked for mor in
quiry, chiefly on the ground that with
a uniform suffrage, a single class
the wage receivers-would rule; and
Mr.. Stanhope, for the Tory party,
admitted that this was his principal
objection also. The debate was inter
esting, but unreal, as a debate on Re-

the Prosecutors stomach, on which the
Corporal struck him on the hand making
him drop the knife, he then became very
violent and took up the pole again, wound
ing one of the horses Of the mounted police
in the mouth and preventing anyone from
approaching him. They succeeded in appre-
hending the four others, and, on applying
for a warrant, the defendant was arrested
a few days after. He did not give any
trouble on this occasion, but came quietly
to town.
Committed to take his trial at the next
Circuit Court.

franker in announcing the intention
to commit crime on a large scale;
but while augurieS Of this kind are
limited to an abstract prediction of
crimes not yet plotted, and for the
commission Of which there are nc
specific means in existence, it is, we
suspect, wise policy to let men va

attempting even to hinder them,-
unless, indeed, there be good reason to
know these vapourings lead 10 the
actual commission OF these or other

ST. LUCIA CENTRAL FACTORY.
The Antigua Reporter says.

The antigua Reporter says.
The central Sugar Factory is now work
ing proitably. This year there is a de
crease of Goals used in proportion to sugar
made. in 1879 they used 2000 tons in
making sol tons sugar, against S34 tons
in 1891 and 957 tons Goals. The company
have acquired estates on which the canes
are grown and thus become independent
of contracting planters. Net profit last
year $4,000; present prospects very good.
Public funds are largely involved in this
undertaking.

There appears to be no reason to
complain just now of the restrictions
oil liberty of speech in France. On
the celebration, last Saturday, Of the
anniversary Of the outbreak of TIE
Commune in 1871, Mademoiseile

the majority live on weekly wages,
Mr.. HeaIy,in a coarse speech, thought
the Queens pleasure in her children's
marriages was chiefly derived from
the grants they got; and Mr.. Storey
(Sunderland) wished to c%onfne all
public payments to public services,
and described Parliament as "a large
syndicate interested in expenditure"
He contrived to be offensive to Roy
atty, without being truly democratic.
Mr.. Gladstone, in reply, after diSpo-
sing of Mr.. Labouchere's argument
that George Ill, who had Ct ,000, 600
a year of Civil List, maintained his
own children, denied that any savings
Of moment had been made upon the
Civil List, and stated his W con
viction that upon the subject Of these
grants there was an honorable
understanding" between Parliament
and the Crown. The grant was
voted, Of course, by 3S7 to y. The
plain truth Of the matter j. that if the

We are afraid, however, that the
state of feeling in France in relation
to violent Soclalistic outbreak is very
much sounder and more trustworthy,
than the state of feeling in Irel1nd in
relation to that mean and sordid form
Of revolutionary policy which is advo-
Gated under the formula, "Hold the
rents" An mAammatory placard thus
headed has just been largely circulate
ed in Ireland, which goes or thus =
Who are the gaoIers Of Charles Stew
art ParncIl and Michael Davitt? Not
mad Gladstone, nor laundering BUCK
shot, but Yourselves, Irishmen who
are content to receive and accept pal
try reductions, and to let the men who
won them for you,-aye, and who
will win much more, if you will but
follow them faithfuIIy,-rOt and die
in Irish Dungeons concluding with
other equally violent remarks in the
same vein. The dangerous side of
this placard is the comfortable char
acter Of the advice which it gives to
break a number Of special contracts
for which the full equivalent has al
ready been received, and the hope
held out that their fuIflment shall
never be exacted. "Arrah, thin,
Pat said an Ilish wife, you'll sure
Iy niver pay your rint while Mr.. Par
nelIs in Kilmainham?' "Bedad, and
l won't Bridget, niver a stiver,-and
long may he stay there" a sentiment
which represents, we believe, with
sufficient fidelity the specially p%ecuni-
airy character Of the patriotism which
Mr.. ParneIIs programme has lnspir-
ed.

The reports Of the week from
Egypt are all unfavourabIe to the
Control. 1t is stated with great posi-
tiveness, and in many quarters, that
Arab Pasha now demands the Pre-
miership, in order that he may carry
out a more decidedly anti European
policy. That is probably true. As
yet, no portion of the Nationalist
programme has been carried out, the
only change having been that Arab
Pasha governs, instead of the Khe-
dive. The soldiery did not revolt for
that, but in order that the hosts of
salaried Europeans maintained in
office for the benefit of the Bondhol-
ders should be dismissed. II they
are not dismissed, either the Khe-
dive or some new General will outbid
Arab.

The House of Commons was asked
on Thursday to raise the allowance
of Prince Leopold to 925,00O u year,
a he is about to marry a Princess of
WaIdeck-Pyrmont, who, if her pho
tographs are not forgeries, will short
ly be a prime favourite in English
society. Mr.. Labouchere led the re-
~sistance, arguing under decorous
forms that the Queen might find the
money herself, as she did not return
to the Treasury sums saved out Of
the Civil List and was supported by
Mr.. Broadhurst, in a speech which
meant that 925 900 a year was very
much too much, in a country where
