In the debate in the British House

In the debate in the British House OF
Commons, Tuesday night, on the bill
for an inquiry into the Belfast riots,
Sexton asked the government to en-
large the commission in the interests OF
Catholics. Hugh Holmes. attorney
general for Ireland, said he thought
the commission competent to deal
with the matter as at present
constituted. Harrington moved to
adjourn the debate. Hicks-Beach
appealed to HIM to allow the second
reading to take place, promising to con-
slider the Parnellite objection before the
third reading. The motion to adjourn
was withdrawn, and the bill passed the
second reading. Sexton gave notice
that be would question Hicks-Beach as
to the truth that a reporter in the en-
ploy of the British government had
been following Mr.. Dayitt on his trip
through Michigan, and had taken down
his speeches in full.

Orange order and ssrefute the slanders
Of the National League is loud
mouthed Protestant clergyman who for
gets his duty towards God and high and
holy Heaven by travelling across the
ocean to hurl broadcast throughout the
land falsehoods which no sane person
dare believe in the light OF the events
which have occurred in Belfast during g
the past couple of months. He intends
to confne his dirty work more particu-
larly to the Province Of Ontario, the
stronghold Of Orangemen in America
But even there he will realize upon his
arrival the people are becoming too in
telligent to tolerate an institution much
longer that breaches murder and rapine.
The magnitude of the Orange order in
Canada has been vastly overrated, al:
though unfortunately for Canadian poll
tics, it is too evident just at present that
as clique directed by wire-pullers,
invariably as ignorant as the members
OF the order, it is able to accomplish
much mischief. AS an illustration Of
the class of men who compose the order
in the Dominion, we have it on good au-
thority that an Orangemen there starves
himself for two weeks previous to the
10Th of July, when he gorges himself al.
most to death at some hotel in the town
where the celebration takes place be.
cause he is obliged to expend twenty.
five cents for a dinner. If the Rev.
Roaring Kane expects to live on the
funds furnished him by his Canadian
brethren we may safely predict tnat the
crows will be playing ''seven-up" on his
back hone for his carcass shortly after
his arrival in America.

IAB0R's NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

The second annual National Labor
Holiday passed off in an admirable man
ner i'll nearly every city in the United
States. Fully two hundred Thousand
organized laboring men turned out in
the different cities of the Union to enjoy
themselves and to Celebrate their ascend
ancy and the advancement they are MAX
ing in the great and just cause Of labor.
This is just as it should be. Capitalists
and unscrupulous corporations have too
long had their own way, and now that
the laboring men are becoming power

ment that they will abuse that power.

The bold and chivalrous Ulster Or
angeman takes d peculiar way Of show
ing his gallantry. i few weeks ago,
after the closing OF a factory in which
a large number of Orangemen were
employed: crowds Of them paraded the
streets and brutally assaulted inofen-
sive Catholic girls. The poor girls
were set upon, the hair pulled out of
their heads, their shawls taken off and
torn to shreds, and in addition to this,
violent assaults were committed on
many of them; their faces and hands
being covered with blood. A number
of Catholic girls were subjected to fear,
ful treatment by members Of their own
sex, who brought cans full of boiling
water with them from the spinning
rooms. and when they got the Pa.
pists" down poured the water over
their heads and about their bodies,
causing excruciating torment. Al

ago, we have not heard that loud mouth

MR.. pARNELL'S LAND BILL.

The cable brings us the intelligence
that Mr.. Parnell has completed his land
bill. which consists of only four clauses,
and will probably introduce: it to-day
friday. At all events he will eneleavor
to obtain a discussion Of the measure be-
fore the debate Oh the estimates is fin
ished, SO as to be able TO press it upon
the Government for consideration, The
irst clause of the bill provides that
lease-holtlers may apply TO Che court to
fix judicial rent; the second, that ten
ants whose rents were fixed q year ago
may apply to Che court for revaluation,
and third, that the court pending de-
cision On applications may suspend an
eject,nent On the payment Of such pro-
portion of the rent as tue court may de-
eide to be proper.
During 5he past few days startling
changes have occurred III connection
with the Irish situation. 1t is stated
that certain Irish landlords who were re-
2arded ass sure to oppose MIR, Parnells
bill have come to the conclusion
that il will he much better to receive it
with o good grace, as stepping-stone
to q settlement of the land question.
Mr.. Parnell himself believes that the
Governments consent to the introduc
lion of The bill is the turning point Of the
Irish question. Tt is generally admitted
in political circles in London that, win
or lose, Mr.. Parnell's move has placed
The Tory Government in position OF ex-
traori2inary embarrassment, and that it
will go long way towards reuniting the
Liberals.

IMPERIAL FEDERATION.

Now that Salisbury has resumed the
reins CT government it will not surprise
any one if the question Of Imperial fed
GRAFTON is again brought to the surface,
and under the Tory Government we
doubtnot that the Imperial Federation
lists will gain considerable headway,
We notice that the Canadian press is
beginning to discuss the subject i'll its
different bearings, and taking the argu-
guments advanced for and against as al
expression Of the feeling of the Canadian
people it would appear as if the free and
enlightened Canucks we're not particr1-
larly euamored with the scheme. The
Quebec Budget says that it is full OF
danger to the democratic institutions of
Canada, and would have the effect Of
flooding The country with titles. Cana
dians would have "Sirs" in too many
households. This would beget an es-
arrangement among the people. It would
create an aristocrecy that is not wanted
and would be of no commercial advan-
tage to the country. It would be a
mushroom aristocracy at best and would
not command the respect Of the people.
But it would not stop there. Imperial
Federation would mean the growth Of a
permanent military and naval force in
Canada. Here again would be found
more estrangement among the people.
The military would soon begin to look
down on the civilians. The one would
affect the shaw, haw," while the other
would remain plain business men. And
desirable as it is to have rein ement Of
of manners yet shaw, haws'' are not the
men likely to lead to that result. The
social manners would thus become
changed for the worse. Instead Of re-
naming democratic they would become
aristocratic without the claims which
made aristocracy something to be con-

CARDINAL MANNING, in a recent
speech OF school board education, SAID
that what he objected to was the sys-
tenn which he characterized as a sys-
tenn of non Christian education, for he
maintained that the mere reading Of
the Bible without the teaching OF the
doctrines Of the faith, could not be said
to constitute religious education. He
quoted John Mill, who was certainly
not Tory. who was g philosophical
radical and an unbeliever, and who had
said that system Of education by gov
ernment must inevitably lead to des-
potism over the mind, leading by a
natural tendency to despotism over
the body.

The House Of Commons took up the
consideration OF the estimates last Mon
day evening. The debate was slightly
prolonged by the Parnellites. The first
subject OF contention was the allowance
for the volunteer force i'm Ireland, and
the second related to army cloth
ing contracts which had been
given to Pimlico factory to the detri-
ment of a Limerick factory. In both
cases the government promised to con-
slider the matter in the interests OF ire

agreed to, motions for their reduction
being rejected on g division.

FROM the tone of a. certain portion
of Mr.. Gladstone's pamphlet, one would
incline to the belief that England's
greatest statesman anticipates that the
Tories will steal bis thunder and enact
Home Rule for Ireland. He says, after
predicting the ultimate success Of that
issue: lit is not for me to conjecture
whether in this, as in so many other
cases, the enemies Of the measure are
the persons designed finally to guide its
triumphal procession TO the capitol"
No matter what party grants Home
Rule to Ireland, Mi. Gladstone will al
ways receive the credit Of being the
first notable Engllshman to advocate
that cause.

while the purse holds out, it is resplen-

noon, April 9, as Arbor Day in the public schools
of Indiana, and he suggests that "the occasion
should be improved to awaken the interest of
patrons in theschools and to increase the attend

accomplished by the Arbor-day celebrations last
year, and it seems desirable that the work should
be continued. Besides planting trees and shrubs
about the school-house. he suggests to teachers
that suitable literary exercises should be given
by the pupils, with the naming of trees after
private authors, or persons distinguished for
services to education.
