PROPOSED REDUCTION OF THE DEBT
A curious struggle proceeds over the Natohai
Dsbt Reduction bill. The chief Radical opponents
zbo favor n reduction of taxation lnsteao
q reduction of the debt, have been moiiihed' Ahe
real cause of Tory opposition arises from a de'i'0
TO prevent the present appropriation OF annu''e0
falling due in 1885. The Tories are not without
hope of manipulating these annuitles when 'ncS
themselves may be in office. Mr. Childerss project
embraces reduction Of f174000,000 during the
.x.,wentv years without increased taxation, IL Is
strongly supported among the commercial classes
and economists who are fearful lest Engnsh COM
merce may be crippled when labor cheapens IN
America This prospect aud the rapid ABOLITION Oh
the United States debt cause growing an1i''y
among thoughtful Englishmen.
IRISH LEGISLATION.
IT.. rr;sh tramvavs and emigration scheme will |
urovoke much opposition. Many regard the tram
vays as an extIavagaEt sop on account oi 'n'
eheapness of the loan. The Parneiii'eS op-
oose the emigration clauses. II the Gov
,rrnent will withdraw those clauses the |
Irish members are prepared to support the ro-
nnnaer of the Governments programme, including |
the extension of the Bankruptcy bill to Ireland.
Mr.. eLADsToNE's ENERGY.
The South African debates are purely academlcal,
and are chiefly notable for Mr. Gladstones retort to
suM Hicks-Beach "a member of the last Ministry |
that the Conservative Government and Sir Bartie |
Frere had done mischief. which the present Govern
pent had not wholly repaired. Mr. Gladstone's
energy during the past week has been remarkable
Nearly every night he has made two or three i'm |
portant speeches The adroitness of his exposition
Of the Governments Egyptian policy bis attack on |
Sir NJ Hicks-B Beach, his crushing exposure OF Sir |
Stafford Northcotes financial fallacies, and his |
brilliant resume of the seasonal work at the Man
mon House banquet constitute memorable Incl" |
dents.
TIE MADAGASCAh lNClDENi'
Private letters from Mauritius and Madagascar |
nfer to the oyerbearing conduct of Admiral Pierre,
and tend to discredit Mr.. Gladstones zeal In |
making amends to France at the Mansion |
House banquet. The fact Of Admiral Pierre's |
resignation, which Is supposed to be due |
toophthalmia. leads to the belief that the English
and French governments have privately arranged |
their differences. 1t is rumored that England Will
not embarrass France either in Tonquin or in Mad
sgascar, if the latter island is not invaded.
NOT AsIATIc CHOLERA.
The rapid decline of the cholera is explained by
The fact that 1t is an Egyptian epidemic. and not
the Asiatic type Ali the Indian doctors who are
nowin Egypt speak of the difference between the
present plague and the terrible forms Of the disease
with which they are familiar in India. The rapid
fsingof the Nile andt energy of the AuglOIndian
SECTORS encourage the belief that the worst is over
WARNING TO DYNAMITE WORKERS.
Meddlers in the dynamite policy have received
wholesome warning In the conviction Of the four
men 10 Liverpool who it is believed were under
Dr. Gallagher's orders. They have received sim
Nar punishment to his Their arrest, and moro
recently that OF McDcrmott encourage the opinion
that the English Government possess an intimate
knowledge of the details of the dynamite faction In
Vie United States.
THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD.
Semi-oficial revelations respecting the assistance
gwen by various membersof the royal familyto the
Duke and Duchess Of Teck have not increased the
hready limited popularity OF the Duke. 1t Is now
announced that instead of living in retirement at
