Nh. ASDRRw CARNEGIE, the well'kuown
Pittsburgh iron worker, lived long enough
in his country 10 amass large fortune.
It Is now announced that he never became
an American citizen, and intends to stand
Tor Parliament in his native Scotland.
Doubts have been expressed as to whether
he would be allowed to take his seat II
the constituency choose him we do not
think this question will be raised. Though
The doctrine Of "once a British subject,
always a British subject" was exploded
by force in so far as It was sought to make it
applicable by force to citizensof the United
States Of British birth, the policy oil Great
Britain still Is to receive back the wander
en-, and, Il they be men Of parts or Of for.
tune, or both, to make much Of them. Mr.,
Judah P, Benjamin, who served in high
places under two governments on this side
without any suspicion that he was not of
American birth, went to England after the
hll Of his second choice, declared that he
was born in the British West Indies and
had never renounced his allegiance
though he had sworn to support two
American Goveruments) was admitted to
practice in the courts and soon became
Queens Counsel.
Here the principle was the same, but the
case Of Mr.. Puleston comes nearer to Mr..
Carnegie, and would be an exact parallel
II Mr.. Carnegie had held Office in this
country. Mr.. Puleston was Welshman
who settled in Pennsylvania and became
the agent Of that State to collect war claims
agains. the United States. Going back to
the old country, he stood for Parliament,
and was elected by the Welsh constituency
Of Devanport, Tor which ho now sits. In q
book Of travel recently written by Mr..
Carnegie he gives some idea Of the standhe
would take on the Irish question. For this
aud because Of The force Of the comparison,
this much IS worth reprinting: *
''l hear some Americans Representing the
Irish people for rioting ard fighting so
much; the real trouble Is they don't light
hall enough. Take my own heroic Scot
land; let even Mr.. Gladstone, one OF our
selves and our bsSt beloved send an Eng.
lishalan as Lord Advocate to Scotland, and
let him dGte pass u measure tor Scotland In
Parliament againEt tho wishes OF the Scotch
members, and all the uprisinIs In Ireland

iGnd can be made as loyal = member OF the
Rriash c0rfsderaoy as Scotland is; and all
that ts necessary to produce this Is that she
should be dealt with Us England has 10 deal
With Scotland"
After this we should expect 10 see Mr..
Carnegie, II elected, acting with the Parnell
party. II the new member were to put

TIE FENIAN SCARE.
HALIFAX GREATLY EXCITED
Our tht Report Ora Mysterious Letter From SIR
john HleDouAld-IhS Sensational stOrIE
AaOat-LuthOrltissO Of HALIFAX Dtny All
Knowledge OF the Reports.

HALlFAx, May S-A startling letter was
received this morning from Sir John Mac
Donald. A number Of special policemen
were sworn in for service about the
Government house, the Provincial build.
ing and other points. Last night the Pro-
vincial and Coast office buildings were
watched by two policemen Of the city force
detailed for that duty besides the re.
gular nightwatchmen. Besides tho police.
men on duty at night throughout
the city were ordered not to take "relief"
early in the morning, as customary, and
those who go off duty at 3A. NJ, are, until
further instructions, to remain on till six.
The cause OF the selection OF Halifax as the
spot, for Fenian action is evident, owing TO
it's prominence as military station.
From what can be learned rs to the
source OF information which alarmed the
authorities, II appears there was detec-
I've at the recent Land League conference
in Philadelphia, who had instructions to
report anything OF Importance. 1t is
affirmed that this detective communicated
to the Governor General or 10 the British
Government that the day Of Brady's execu-
rutioD Was 10 be q signal for q combined
attempt for revenge, whenever Gnd where.
ever the opportunity might afford.
General Sir Patrick McDougal, com.
mander' in.chief OF the British forces in
America, stated that the contents OF the
letter received by Lieutenant Governor
Archibald were almost the same as tele-
graphed last night, but the statement that
Two suspicious vessels sailed from Boston
for Halifax he was not made aware OF. 1t
is stated the circumstances short time ago
led him to order IN extra sentry at u large
powder magazine at Point Pleasant Park,
but further than this there had not yet been
any strengthening Of guards there or other
places in the city.
WHAT NIGHT be DONE.
A reporter mentioned the fact Of torpe.
does being carried by vessels referred to,
when Sir Patrick replied that the lining OF
the harbor with these dangerous explc-
sives might be undertaken almost at any
time without detection. Even now
the harbor may be full of tor
pedoes and We not know it, as
parties might already have placed
Them in position without being observed.
No suspicious vessels hoveripg around the
harbor were reported TO him. No
special instructions were issued by
min regarding the taking Of precautions
Of protection to property or life and it was
not anticipated that any events would
occur to alarm the public. Commander
Faner denied the report Of orders for extra
lookouts or other precautionary measures

Hence these RobSi,
II fCincinnati has reason 10 take pride in
anything 1t is her public spirited citizens.
They have done more for the city and ita
fame than 1t has for itself. Tyler Davidson,
Reuben Springer and Nicholas Longworth
have erected lasting monuments, not only
in the public enterprises they have raised
in Cincinnati, but In the hearts OF the peo'
pie Of the country who have enjoyed them
alike with the "Porkopolitans." However
every citizan OF Cincinnati takes pride In
the city and all matters
OF great pith aud moment.
Their loyalty Is worthy Of emulation,
their enterprises challenge admiration and
their successes are Incompatible. Say
what you will.

engaged in the tombstone business. He
