The remains of Mr., Will London, who

THE ENGLISH POLITICAL
MIDDLE.

Great excitement still prevails in
parliamentary circles in London
over the status to be occupied in
future by Mr.. Parnen as leader of
the Irish party. Parnell refuses to
retire until he could ascertain Mr..
Gladstone's determination and re-
ferring to what he terms Giadstone's
ambiguity, said, Il have had many
dealings with him, but never got a
straight answer" On December Sd
the Nationalist met to further con-
slider the question of Parnell's
leadership. All the Irish members
in London were in attendance. Par
nell occupied the chair. At this
meeting the manifesto issued the
day before by the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy in ireland was read and
was greeted with cheering by Par
nelPs opponents.
It's remarkable how many of the

the possibilities of immigration Of
Indians from there.
Now, without questioning the
qualifications of Hon. Marsden for
an undertaking of that nature, it
seems to me that, if the planters had
been men capable of any gratitude,
they ought to have sent to Goa the
man who first offered them the sug-
gestion of procuring Immigrants
from the Portuguese India. He is
known to be clever young Portu-
guese, well esteemed and respected
here. He knows Goa himself, and
he speaks the language, whilst Hon.
Marsden does not.
It appears, furthermore, that the
first requirement of a mission of that
kind, to make a success of it, must
be the selection of man conversant
with the language; in this case, if
not the author of the proposition, at
least, some other Portuguese-speak-
ing person, otherwise the planters
may deservedly expect to meet with
failure, such as they have already
met by sending such men as Hon.
Muller to Portugal and P. A. Dias
to Madeira, who were not the pro-
per, competent persons for the kind
of work.
Another sure point is that, outside
of the difficulty of the language,
Hon. Marsden will find out that he,
foreigner, will not be allowed to do
in the matter, unless the
Governor General of Goa has re-
ceived the proper instructions from
the Home Government.

Horner's Bank Bill-No. 10.

Mr.. EDITOR The money re-
quirements of this people and this
Government are already consider
able and will no doubt increase,
and borrowing must supplement
the current income while the coun-
try is. being improved. The ques-
ton with me is, shall we make our
own money and pay interest to
ourselves, or let others make it for
us and pay o larger interest to
them, thus enriching others and
lmpoverishing ourselves. Is it
craftsmanship for US to go abroad
to borrow money that we have full
power to supply, and that too
without the assistance Of syndi-
Gates OF other costly help. Would
we send to Europe for irony or to
America for -four and grain, if we
could make them just as good ard
abundantIy ourselves? Certainly
not.
Is it not equally unwise for us to
seek elsewhere for money now that
we know how to supply ourselves
and have constitutional right to
do it. "The borrower is servant
to the lender" Shall we continue
to make both the Government and
the people servants to pay tribute
abroad when by acting for our
selves we coald be independent
our own boss in finance matter.
our interest for borrowed money |
tor the present period took up
1920, 900, and. from present indica-
tons every period must add to that
sam for several years yet to come.
So the interest item alone must
absorb a large per centage of our
carrent income, and if q periodical +
increase is permitted. a heavy bur-
den must rest upon US.
Our present debt now approXi-
mates $50 per head for every human
being in this kingdom. But few
countries can beast of having. COM
paratively so large debt and no
fund.
Plans have besn numerous to get
Us into debt, bat none to get US
oRt, and indications point to fur
her increase of: our debt as time
rolls on. J. NJ. HoRNER.

Saved just in Time.

Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson was
sailing about lately between Samoa
and Auckland, hoping to get strong
after long illness at Sydney, when
his cabin caught fire. There was
great excitement on board; the
burning things were carried on deck
or thrown into the sea- Suddenly
Mrs. Stevenson saw two of the crew
heave mp burning box which they
were about to commit to the tender
mercies of the waves. With a scream
of dismay she sprang forward and
caught one of the men by the arm,
they dropped the box on deck, it was
deluged with water and saved. It
contained all Mr.. Stevenson's MSS,
the work of long months past, the
story he is writing under contract
for 1000, and much of the history
of the island which he has chosen

resolution was passed:
Whereas, the mandamus of the
SApreme Court of the Hawaiian
Islands has not been obeyed by the
bishop of Honolulu as President of
the Board of Trustees of the Anglican
Church in Hawaii, in that he has rend-
cred imperative the meeting ordered by
this mandamus by refusing to place be-
fore the meeting certain resolution
embodying the object for whish the
meeting was ordered, and has protested
IN the following terms against the deci-
sion of the Court:
81 have called this meeting of the
Board and preside here to-day by order
of the Supreme Court | do so under
protest, and desire that protest to be
entered in the minutes, it being clear to
my mind THAI the decision of the Court
First, starts with pure assumption
incapable of proof;
Second, rests on a basis not in
accordance with the constitution OF this
country;
"Third, Is not deducible from the re-
ceiyed principles of interpretation
Fourth, is not in harmony with itself;
''Fifth, is inimical to the interests OF
the State, as we'll as those OF the indivi-
dual''
Be it resolved that the Trustees pre-
sent az this meeting 10 ask instructions
by counsel as to the method of proce-
dure BY which the Supreme Court shall
be notified OF the Tact that the Bishop
has rot obeyed the mandamus.
