I3.â€"At Plymouth to- day a tenement house on Love street, in a low and squalid neighbourhood, took fire, and a terrible calamity resulted. The flames burned rapidly and fiercely. and. when at last they were subdued, twelve calcined human bodies were found among the ruins. Two others are missing, and they, too, have in all prob- ability been burn .l togdcath. One un- fortunate vic'tim‘ was‘tlash‘cd to pieces by jumping from a high window to the Several of~ the occupants of the burning buildings in their flight ignored the fire escapes, and throwing bedding to the pavement, forty feet below, jumped from windows. A number of these had legs and arms broken by the fearful leap. A harrowing incident of the calamity was the appearance of a youth named Bickford, who, with his little sister under one arm, hung sus- pended from a window by the other for some minutes, but“ the flames sur- rounded him and caused him to let go his hold and fall to the ground. He had both legs fractured. The child was also severely injured. The inten- sity of the flames gave the building the appearance of a furnace, but this did not deter the firemen, many of whom entered the house, and by a heroic struggle succeeded in' rcsouing several persons.

APPALLING COLLISION ON A GEORGIA unionist ATLANTA, 0a., Dec. 15.â€"Onc of the most terrible railroad accidents ever know in Georgia occurred last night at midnight, fifteen miles from this city, on the Georgia Pacific railroad. The East. Tennessee and Georgia Pacific road use the same track to Anstel, and list night a Georgia & Pacific mixed train, with a coach and one sleeper, stopped at a tank to get water. The CllltCll and sleeper wore on a trestle thir- ty feet high.

It is stated that about a dozen En:- lisli workingmen have been elected to the newly-returned parliament, in addi~ tion to several artizans who belong to the Irish National delegation. English fact, urge an alliance between the warli- obscure position, both English and against the wealthy element of the house. 1 2 Party l such an alliance, but sooner or later it , is bound to come. and party lines in; the future will be largely coincident with these of social demarcation. The action of the British working- men in using their ballots to return to parliament men of their own order. is a reproach to the indifference of the Can- adian laborer to his own interests. In the past the workingmcn of our city. who hold the preponderance of political power, have chosen to use it to elect lawyers, merchants, manuliicturcrs or , bankers, whose interests are mainly 0p- posed to those of labour. As a conse- quence, the grievances oflabour have been ignored, and when measures have been asked to improve the condition of the working people they have been con- temptuonsly refused. The factory bill, for instance, has been allowed to hang over from one session to another for several years, and it is to day no nearer becoming law than when the agitation for it began. The state-aided immi- gration policy has been steadily persist- ed in, despite the protests of these whose opportunities of gaining a liveliâ€" hood wcre injured by the flooding of the labour market with continued new arrivals from Europe. Workingincn may protest against the ostentatious dis- regard oi their rights in these and many other instances, but their complaints will avail nothing unless they follow them up by political action. So long as they keep on voting for Grit and Tory candidates, and put party before all other considerations, they have no right to expect any better treatment from either Sir John or Edward Blake than they receive. They cannot reasonably suppose that other people will be more solicitous about their concerns than they are tlieniSclvcs. , ‘ This is a selfish world, and the poll- tician does not act from motives of phi- lanthropy. It is votes, and votes alone, that most of them care about. Unless the workingmcn combine to let the pol- iticians -of both pnrtirs sac that they have more to lose than they have to gain by refusing justice to labour, they need only look for nothing but pic-crust promises before election, and the cold shoulder aftei‘wards. If they would follow the example of their British brethren and elect a man of their own standing, who would put labour first and partyisni second, they could vary soon effect a healthy change in the political atmosphere and public It is a matter which they ought. earnestly to consider, in view of the probable near appr'oach of a general election .â€" Toronto . News. o‘- Distress in Russia. While the. political future of Russia is, to say the least, uncertain, the C0111- mcrcinl and financial outlook is so dark that one scarcely sees a ray of light. The skill and enterprise of American farmers have been every year tliiiiinish- ing the imports of Russia into Western Europe, and to this competition has now been added that of India, whose export of wheat this year will surpass that of Russia. Competition has forced the price down to the lowest figures known in more than a century ; so low, in fact, that Russia cannot grow wheat at the present prices, and the great in‘ terest of wheat. growing is therefore paralysed. The ignorance, poverty and financial burdens of the peasantry are so great that they do not know how to make proper use of their lands. The latter are already becoming exhausted, and a bad season, added to the cumula- tive effects of bad tillage, has caused widespread disaster and discouragement among them. The suffering from these causes has gone so far that the Govern- ment has interfered for the relief of the wheat-growers ; banks have been organ- ized to make advances to proprietors and farmers to enable them to hold their wheat against the possibility of a better market. But as the Government itself is practically bankrupt, the end of this kind of help cannot be far off. The beet-mot industry, after having been stimulated into life. by subsidies. has now been destroyed by the competi- , , d , daily increasing strength of the rebel ar"f"cmt“’ 3" ‘ forces have attracted the attention of . . . , i l. combinations may temporarily frustrate affairs in Egypt‘ and to me he, um, tion of Germany. The great lincn trade l is fast going to decay by the increasing use of cotton and jute. Flocks and herds are becoming more and more the prey to various diseases. It will be s‘c‘en, therefore, that the agricultural condition is desperate, and the commer cial situation is no brighter. The Gov- ernment adds to the general suffering by its excessive taxation for the great war expenses of the past, and steadily piles up an enormous debt by yearly deficits. A crisis is apparently IllL‘Vll‘t ble, and is deferred by nothing except the immense interests of German in- vestors in Russia. <~~~â€"o - - Terrible Bxpiosion. l i The explosion was an unavoidable one.

PROPOSAL TO AllI'ROI‘llIATE FIFTY MIL- LIONS TO BUILD TEN VESSELS. “'ASIHNGTON, Dec. 15th.â€"â€"Congrcss- man Thomas, of Illinois, is drafting a Bill which in the main will follow the rccnnimendations contained in Secreta- ry Whitney's report. 'It appropriates lifty million dollars for the construction of ten vesselsâ€"two ironclads, three cruisers of the Atlanta type, and five gunboats. This amount does not cover the cost of arming the vessels. The gunboats will be of light draught with ccntrcboard to enable them to go out to 81'}! in heavy weather. Mr. Thomas says tâ€"Uudcr the treaty szipulations with Great Britain we are allowed to keep but one iiian-of-war on the lakes. In case of war a great part of our Northern frontier would be exposed to invasion by water, England could send a fleet of a hundred vessels up the St. Lawrence River and enter the lakes without meeting any opposition. Now if we had these light draught gunbo-its we could send tlicni in case of an emer- gency through the Erie Canal without loss of time. It would not be much of a defence, but would be a start in the right direction. ,. -.-..._ 3%?" “ Oh, inyl ain't they cheap 7 "--is what everybody says when they see the Xmas Cards at the Drug Store.
