prising conclusion; but it is one that has
been suggested for long time by those ac-
quainted with the class of men shipped in
Gloucester The substitution of Canadians
for Americans has been going on for some
time. and it is estimated that one thousand
of the former have been lost from the
Gloucester feet during the last fifteen years.
The appointment of Gen. Butler to the
nder-secretaryship for Ireland seems
to indicate that the government is
still somewhat reluctant to enter upon
coercion policy pure and simple in Ireland,
and is inclined to temporize while longer.
Butler was recently recalled from Ireland be-
cause he had manifested altogether too much
sympathy for the tenants to suit the Tories.
1t is not to be wondered at that the govern
ment hesitates to enter upon policy which
always has and always must fail when it is
met by the united resistance of the Irish peo-
pie. The precise trouble in Ireland now is
that the tenants refuse to pay rent, or as
much rent as the landlords demand. AS
yet the refusal is not general, though the
tenants who do refuse undoubtedly have the
sympathy of the vast majority of the Irish
people. Let the army be called in
to assist the bailiffs, and there is lit
tie doubt that the spectacle will soon
be presented of whole nation refusing
to pay rent. When the refusal becomes so
general as that no amount of force can COM
pei payment. 1t is obvious that debts could
not be collected if the general sentiment of
community was against paying debts OF
course the landlord can eject the tenants
from their houses, but that act does him
no good 1t is a process which yields him
nothing So the property of the tenant can
be seized and offered for sale. But that
again does the landlord no good unless some
body stands ready to buy, and it is obvious
that in a community where the vast majority
Of thepeople sympathize with the tenant and
hate the landlord nobody will wish, or
If he wishes will dare to purchase. There
Is absolutely no way to compel the Irish ten
ant to pay rent when the rebellion against
rent becomes universal. Now it is just this
universal rebellion that the renewal of coer-
Give measures is likely to bring about, and it
is the fear of such result that makes the
government reluctant to vigorously enter
upon that policy. The government knows
perfectly well that if every regiment of in
fantry in the British army was sent into Ire
land the landlords rents could not be collect
ed if the people combined together and re-
| fused to pay it. Tenants could be turned
out of doors and much additional suffering
might be inflicted upon people already mis-
cradle, but money could not be drawn from
them against their will The ultimate effect
of such policy could only be to arouse the in
dignation of the English masses against the
government and speedily overthrow it, while
the impoyerishment of the Irish people that
would follow would make the landlords
| chances of getting his full rent for years to
come even poorer than they now are.

The review of the losses of the Gloucester
fleet for the year ending with the present
month, and a comparison of this with the
losses of previous years, afford some very
interesting facts. The total loss of life for
the year was 1856, Of whom So were lost on
wrecked vessels, and 81 were lost overheard,
at the trawls,or killed by accident The num-
Der Of vessels lost is q, of an aggregate ton
mage OF 1928, and valued at S1G0,S00, and in
sured for $126,281. These losses mark very
unfortunate season, aside from the losses
caused by the scarcity of mackerel During
the year before but u vessels were lost, and
Tor the fifteen years previous the average
yearly loss was but Is vessels and 124 men.
In connection with these statistics there is
one significant fact. OF the 1876 men lost
TINS year, 20 were Canadians, from New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward
Island. There is no reason to believe that
those vessels which were lost or met with
misfortunes carried any more Canadians
among their crews than other, Gloucester yes
sells; nor is 1t generally supposed that Ca
madam sailor Is more unfortunate or likely
to lose his life than an American sailor 1t
seems fair to presume that the proportion of
canadians on the unfortunate vessels would
old good throughout the entire Gloucester
,et; and that for every 136 fishermen sail
from that port there are 20 Canadians.
nat 81 per cent. of the Gloucester fisher
m" should be foreigners is rather a sur

The uproar made by the merchants of Liv-
erpool because the British government have
taken mail transportation from one of the
English lines and given it to a German line
which would do it little cheaper, calls
attention to the fact that of the S3,0OO,OOO
paid last year by the British government for
carrying mails, all but very small sum
went to British steamers. OF $350,OO0 paid
by the United States government last year
for carrying our mails, over 100000 went to
foreign steamers.

Old fashioned simplicity has not wholly de-
parted from Maine, or at least carieature
of it remains. AT an entertainment in the
Oxford village of Paris, last week, no gentle-
man was allowed to attend unless he had two
or more patches on his clothes, ladies were
required to appear in calico dresses, and the
dance could be kicked out in nothing but
cowhides. All kinds of country produce
were taken for admission. Report does not
say whether they banquetted on hasty pud-
ding and pumpkin pie.

An English medical writer of repute esti-
mates that in seven generations the popula-
tion of the United Kingdom will, if it con-
tinues its present rate of increase, be equal
to the entire population of the globe at the
present time. AS there is in England now
an average elbow room of but one and one
half acres to each person, the statistician is
disposed to be alarmed at the prospect of
crowding ahead. But very likely the same
state of affairs will come about in Old
England that exists in New England The
City Registrar Of Boston, In his report Tor
the year 1885, presents statistics showing
that in that city the birth rate decreased
from in 1882 in 1850 to in 41.3S in 1885.
Nor do these figures show the full extent of
the change. Boston in 1885 had very much
larger proportion of foreigners than in 1850
These foreigners, belonging to prolific races,
have counteracted to certain extent the
tendencies of the native New England popu-
lation. Thus, in Boston in 1885, the ratio of
births to foreign fathers was / to 17.47, a
better showing than was made by Boston
In 1850. But in 1885, among the native New
England fathers, the.rate was but in 57.93,
as against in 1920 in 1850. The City Regis
trar believes that what is true of Boston is
true Of New England as a whole, and the
casual observation of many students of
social problems bears out this opinion. So
If old England gets too crowded she may
send her surplus sons to New England in
the future as in the past. The New Eng
lander, with his wife and only child, will
not be crowded.

Thanksgiving and Christmas always bring

Since the revival in Boston Of the old law
closing shops on Sunday, much has been
said about "blue laws" and obsolete regula-
fenced by the law. But the present Sunday
law in Massachusetts,. as sustained by the
Superior Court, cannot be compared to the
real 'blue laws" enacted by the Dominion
of New Haven" ami printed on blue paper.
A few Of these laws may be interesting to
those who believe the shutting up of barber
shops on Sunday great infringement on
the liberties of the unshaved citizen. The
stumbling block in Massachusetts,, the work
of the barber, is especially mentioned in one
of these laws,
No one shall travel, cook vIctuals, make beds,
day,
But this law, so severe that only the most
moderate portion of it could be enforced at
the present time, is one of the most toleran t
in the whole enactment. Others are:
No one shall kiss his or her children on the Sab
bath or fast days.
or play any instrument of music, except the drum
trumpet or jewsharp.
Nofood or lodging shall be offered to hereto
NO one shall cross river on the Sabbath but
an authorized clergyman.
No one shall be free man or have vote unless
ne IS converted and member OF the churches al
lowed in the dominion.
NO man shall court maid, In person or by let
Ter, without obtaining the consent OF her parents
e5 penalty for the first offence, 91o for the Sec
ond, and for the third Imprisonment during the
pleasure Of the court
Between such curiosities of legislation and
the Sunday laws now in force in New Eng
land there ought to be difference enough to
satisfy the most liberal minded.

A despatch brings the interesting informa-
ton sthat the Dominion government so
far has failed to receive: any replies
to its advertisement for bids for ocean mail
service between England and the ports of
Halifax AMIDST. John. Since Portland has
been dropped and st. John substituted, no
steamship company wants the contract, for
the simple reason that they could not get
sufficient cargoes if their voyages should ter
inmate at st. John. They would carry the
mails there, but for the cargoes it is impera-
lively necessary in the winter months that
they go to Portland or Boston. The laws of
trade are more memorable than the Dominion
governments conditions of subsidies.
