The Western Watchmen, a relig.
ious journal, condemns sensational
Christianity which finds expression
in the methods adopted by the Holi-
ness Bands, the Salvation Armies
and kindred efforts of addle.headed
people to force conviction upon man
kind. They are not, however, o
whit moro unreasonable than some
of the vagaries of Judge Greene, on
tho bench and off of it. He is a
crank in religion, and has committed
some Of the most absurd acts while
possessed of what he doubtless mag.
ined the divine af1latus. One of
these was personating Jesus Christ,
M act Of sacrilage which called
forth an earnest protest over the
signatures Of the several pastors of
Olympia, few years ago, when the
Judge presided over the Baptist fold
OF this place.

The Session of PARLIAMENT.

Parliament meets tomorrow and Mr..
Gladstone will find himself once more
obliged to defend his policy in Egypt and
under much more trying circumstances than
ever before. Matters of internal reform in
Guiding the extension of the franchise were
substantially settled at the last session and
there is now no home measure available
with which to parry the blows che opposition
will strike against his foreign policy. The
ugly questions which the waspish Lord
Churchill will ask must be answered square
lY as the public mind is not in a condition
to put up with any evasion. There is sus-
picion that the worst is not vet known in
regard 10 the situation 10 the Soudan and
that England really has much bigger Job
on her hands than the government has been
inclined TO admit. Full and accurate infor-
nation in regard to Wolseley's expedition
will be demanded, and Mr.. Gladstone will
have to explain the lateness of its start and
the slowness of its progress up the Nile.
The opposition will undoubtedly move vote
Of censure, and long and fierce struggle
will ensue, the issue of which is doubtful.
Public sentiment at present is strongly
against the ministry, but it must be rec
objected that the Premier has not yet been
heard in his own defense. Several times
within the last two years when the ministry
has seemed to be on the brink of ruin il
has been rescued by Mr.. Gladstone's con-
vincing eloquence or adroit maneuyering.
It is far from safe, therefore, to predict that
he may not succeed again, notwithstanding
the odds are against him this time more
| than ever before.

About Shipwrecks.

return has been issued by the British
Board of Trade, pursuant to an order of the
House of Commons, moved for by Mr.. Rath-
bone, of the losses of British ships and their
crews or passengers in the years 1880, 1881
and 1882 The return, which only deals
with ships of more than 250 tons of gross
registered tonnage, is divided into three
paris. The first deals with the nanao of
loss; the second with the nature of the car
go of the lost vessel; the third shows to
what port the vessel was bound and in what
trade it was engaged. From the first table
It appears that in the three years mentioned
tne total loss of British ships was 1857, and
OF the lives lost with them 5028. OF these
totals $50 are set down as sailing and 337 as
steam vessels. Though, as it will be seen.
IHe SAILING vessels lost are nearly as 2.5 to l
OF tne steam, there is greater equality in
the number of lives lost, which were 2S37
and 2l9l in the sailing and steamships re-
spectlVely. Thus it may be reckoned that
While on an average 3.5 lives are doomed for
every sailing vessel that is lost steamship
carries 6.5 lives to the bottom with it. AS to
The cause OF loss, strandipg is the most fatal
TO ships, 392 sailing and 199 steam being set
DOWN under this head. Abandonment and
foundering take 164 and Al respectively.
Ihere were noted as missing ia and SO re-
sspectively of the two classes; but though
these numbers are not so high as those Of
the two former heads, the loss of life in
TINS class is very considerably higher. Thus
while in sailing vessels STE lives were lost
through stranding, and 207 through aban-
donment and foundering, no fewer than
1910 lives we're lost in missing ships of tbis
class. The total of deaths in steamships
differs in proportion, but the number set
down as missing 912, is greater than either
the 73l under stranding or the $40 under
abandonment and laundering. 1t may be
noticed that the number of lives lost with
each sailing vessel missing is on an average
10, with steamer %; also that an aban-
doned sailing vessel causes ON an average
the loss OF hardly more thau one life, while
steamer SO wrecked loses eight. Under the
head OF collisions the numbers are 27 and 46,
under that of fire, 45 and respectively.
The column devoted to explosion is fortunate
ly a blank-that is, no vessel of either Kind
is known to have perished from this cause.
