TO VIEW A SOUTHERN ELECTION.
Messrs. Rowell and Peters to Take Part
in a Louisiana Campaign.

Representatives Rowen Of Illinois and Peters
OF Kansas have gone to Louisiana to take part
in the campaign for the republicans to elect
successor to the late Representative Gay. The
fact that Mr.. Rowell was prominent member
OF the House committee on elections during
the last Congress and is almost certain
to be chairman Of that committee, whoever is
elected Speaker. and that MIR. Peters has always
taken an active interest in southern election
cases and is apt to be member of the elections
committee, adds a significance to their entrance
into this campaign. 1t is understood that
they propose to take close per-
sonal observation of the election
methods in Louisiana, SO that they will be bet
ter able to deal with the question of southern
elections In the House this winter. The elec-
tion in the particular district they now propose
TO stump may come before them in
the shape OF contest. II is likely
that an attempt will be made by the
elections committee to pass a general bill
to correct election frauds in the SOUTH" and
the stock OF information these members get in
this little contest may be Of value to them in
this work.
Mr.. Herwig, president of the republican state
committee of Louisiana, has written to the
governornor of Louisiana calling attention to
reported attempts made to intimidate republi.
cans to prevent the election of Minor, the re-
publican candidate.

CANADIAN DISCRIMINATION.
The Reciprocity Question In Coastina
Brought Up.

Bosros, Aug. 26.-An Ottawa, Ont, special
to the Journal says: Acting Secretary Batchello.
of the Treasury department has sent . protest
to Canadian authorities against the discrimina-
ton which, he alleges, has been caused by the
recent order of the dominion government ex-
acting fee Of 50 cents upon all vessels NOT
holding Canadian coast license for each report
inward or clearance outward The minister of
customs, who was asked to define the govern
ment's position, said: '.Of discrimination there
is none, because if a British vessel refuses or
neglects to take out coasting license she is
then subjected to the same charges. The re-
cent order, however, raises the whole question
Of reciprocity in coasting. As the United
States do not grant coasting privileges TO Cana
dian vessels her ships cannot claim those privi-
leges in Canada and consequently cannot avail
themselves Of this order. 1t would be absurd
TO suppose that Canada should give to the
United States ship owners privileges in the
waters Of the dominion not secured In equal
proportion to Canadian ship owners in United
States waters. The Canadian governments l.
prepared TO enter 81 any moment into negotia-
tions with the Warrington authorities with .
view 70 securing reciprocal eoasting privi-
legea"

BALFOUR AND THE IRISH.
| The Plucky Widow Berry Resists Evic.
tiOn-Outline of New Bill.

LONDON, Aug. 26-Mr. Balfour has job on
his hands on an estate near Mitcbellstown
which promises to give him no little trouble.
The landlord, with the aid Of the police, has
been for week trying to evict Mrs. Jane
Berry, a widow whose husband died less than
year ago. She can't pay the rent and doesn't
propose to move and as the house she occupies
with her children is the once famed castle Of
Monanimy, with walls seven feet thick, against
which the battering rams of the police are of
no avail, she bids landlord and bailiffs defiance.
After hammering away at the old castle with
their ram for forty-eight hours the police sent
word to Mrs. Barry by the parish priest that
unless she surrendered they would bring up a
battery OF artillery and lombard her fortress.
To this threat the plucky little widow replied
they might do as they pleased but
SHE WOULD NOT vAcATE.
As this occurred last Thursday and no artil-
lery has as yet made its appearance, it is pre-
sumed that the threat was only bluster The
police have now settled down to a regular
siege OF the castle expecting to starve out the
inmates.
OF quite a different character is the report
which the London correspondent of the Leeds
Mercury semitic his paper last night concerning
the Irish policy of Lord Salisbury government
for the next session. According to this usually
well informed authority the two bills dealing
the sanction Of Mr.. Balfour as well as OF the
other members of the cabinet, and which will
be introduced the first week of the next ses-
sion, are of a character to completely silence
all opposition on the part of the liberals and
home rulers. Their Irish land bill scarcely
makes pretense of Withholding a single de-
mand in recent years by the Irish party, and
the local government measure for Ireland is
almost as thorough surrender to the claims
OF the opposition.
IF THIS REPORT Is CORRECT
the government will without doubt dispose OF
the whole home rule agitation by passing two
such measures, but some allowance must be
made for the fact that the Merc,u.y's authority
is a tory Mp, who makes no secret Of his dis.
gust at the governments surrender" and it il
quite likely that this surrender is not as com.
plete as he deems it to be. However, it is GER
tain that the cabinet have decided upon a new
departure in Irish rolitics, and though the re-
forms proposed may fall somewhat short OF
Mr.. Parnells hopes it is equally certain that
since the great Irish leader was let into the
secret, month ago, of the nature Of the re-
forms projected, his opposition to the ministers
has lost all its old bitterness and rancoer and
his tone has become almost conciliatory. Par
nell himself has been pledged to secrecy, but
too many people are already in the confidence
of the government to admit of their plans
being hidden from view much longer.
