to obtain house in which to live, and having
decided to build dwelling, he found that his
attempt to purchase land from Lord Leigh
was met with protest from the established
churchmen. In reply, the rector admits the
truth of these charges and declares that he
but keeps his ordination vows, having sworn
to do all in his power to prevent the spread OF
schism.

The Future Of Hayti.

Hayt is country capable of great devel
opments. The climate is perfect and the soil
is rich. There is very friendly feeling
there for the United States, and our trade
with Hayli has doubled within the last few
years. 1t is important that this friendly feel
ing should continue. Hayti is at present
solving great problem. 1t is the power OF
the colored race to govern themselves. Under
the constitution of Hayti no white man is
eligible for citizenship in the Republic, and
no white man can hold property there. Every
thing is in the hands of the colored people.
1t is found to be working very successfully.
There has been no trouble since 1888, and nc
likelihood of future outbreak. The bust
ness and commercial enterprises of Hayti are
largely managed by whites, principally French
and Americana. An American, Captain Cook,
is at the head of the Haytian navy. But as
the colored people of the island become edu'
Gated, they expect to take the lead in every
thing in their country. -Er- Minister Langs-

Treasurer Jordan has made a ruling in
reference to the computation of the pub
lie debt which will overturn all previous
calculations as to the time in which it
would be paid. He has set aside certain
certificates for which the treasury has al
ready money in hand, as not being part
OF the governments liabilities. As the
law requires that per cent shall be set
aside each year. and As this has been de-
creased by Mr.. Jordan's railing, it neces-
states an extension of the time in which
the debt would be paid as computed by
his predecessor. The republican admin
istration calculated that the debt would
be extinguished in 1906. 1t is now GER
tain that the debt will run beyond that
date. A high official in the treasury says

Mr. Parnell has filled the cup of Eng
lands bitterness to the trim. He has not
only demanded the restoration of the Irish
Parliament of Grattan's time, with the
venal house Of Lords left out. but he has
also committed that National Legislature
to the policy of protecting home industries.
In his recent speeches he has been as ex-
plicit in his denunciations of the results
of free trade so far as the island is con-
cerned AS in his demands for the abolition
of landlordism. He tells the English
people plainly that Ireland will not be
satisfied until its delegation is withdrawn
from Westminster and Parliament of its
own is in session in Dublin and then in
the next breath he warns them that one of
the first things that National Legislature
will be called upon to do will be to estab-
fish strict protective system IN the inter-
est of irish industries. This declaration
has had the natural effect of throwing the
English Liberals into an historical rage.
The idea of an independent Legislature
empowered to deal with the land question
on Mr.. Healy's principles is enough to
make them gasp and to repent having
made SO many virtuous attempts during
the last fifteen years to redress Irish
wrongs.
