The north of Ireland does not fully sym
pathize with the resi- of the island In its POI
iitical agitaticns. The leading journal of
the northern country, the Belfast Northern
Wing, said recently: SIT is no doubt unfor-
tunate that in some respects Ulster cannot
be separated from the other three provinces
of Ireland. This province suffers from mis-
conduct in the south and west with which
the people have no sympathy. Ulster suffers
from copartnership which is demoralizlng
and revolving. If the south and west of Ire
land were as the north there would be no
difficulty in promoting Irish commercial en-
tarprises.n

TIE surprising magnitude of imports in
the calendar year 1882 gives unusual inter
est to the returns for that year, which have
now been published. The increase in i'm
ports, in comparison with 1881, was ss2,-
100000. or over II per cent. But in textiles
the increase was $50, 677,114, or over twenty
per cent. The value Of silk imported was
over $l4 ,0O0, 900, against 81, 100000 of raw
wool, SO that the value Of wooden goods i'm
ported exceeded little the value of silk
goods. Relatively the largest increase was
in wooden goods-over 30 per cent. Over
$4,000 900 of this was in dress goods; 3, 100
600 in cloths and cassimeres, and about as
much more in miscellaneous manufactures.

Dukes acquittal is that it appears to have
been due largely to his local political inhu-

so were Dukes's lawyers. The latter, when
the jury was empanelled, are said to have
used the privilege of challenge TO exclude
every Republican.

THE Argus has a correspo ndent calling
himself ''Senex" who argues that because
the residences of a student at any seminary
of learning shall not entitle him to suffrage

not 70 be allowed to vote in the town where
it is located. That is to say, if man who
has been born and brought up in Waterville

or be DISTINGUISHED. Will 'Senex'' tell us
where he must go to exercise the right OF
