Sinâ€" Whilc the common law and general institutions of the United States are mod- ieled after those of the mother country, ' some did'ereut‘es in detail are to be seen. The Senate of the United States is com- |posed of two men from each State in the l union, and these are appointed hythe legis- l lative assemblies of the several states for a l period of six years, and are so distributed that one-third go out of office or go back for re-election every two years. For either House of Congress a man may be re-elected any number of times, but forthe presidency no man has ever served it third term, so great is the respect paid to the precedent established by the immortal Washington. Members of the House of Representatives are elected for two years, and by popular Between 1880 and 1.490 the ratio of membership of the lower House to the whole population was one member for 1:31,- 712 people. Thus it will be noticed that a member of Congress represents a much greater constituency than in Canada, one 1 member representing a. population equal to that of live or six counties suchas Victoria. ‘Jerry Simpson of Kansas, he of sockless fume. represents 17 counties of his State. - . .3 l . . . “” 'h , One feature here is worthy of notice. 01 Terrible tales of starvation and death amongr the Indians of Labrador are reported. The distress arises from scarcity of game. The British warship Alacrity has been ordered to Sas Ebo to demand the rtiease of the British sailors captured by tho Jops from the transport Kow Sizing and held as prisoners. A story comes from Cedar Spring. Mic-IL. that the 3-year old daughter of It. A Powell was bitten by a rattlesnake on Saturday night last. The father was pcnuilcss, and the doctors refusingr to attend unless the money was forth coming. the poor child died in terrible agony. A freak has been discovered at Evans- ville, ind, in the person of a colored man aged ~15 years who is gradually turning white. The change first began over 20 years ago. but stopped after a time and he thought no more of it until about 18 months ago, when the white area again began to enlarge. It contin ued growing rapidly until it now covers most of his body, and is appearing on his face and arms. The skin on his body is as fair as a child’s, and he thinks that in the course of a year he will be entirely white. lictut'bs just received at the Fisheries Department. Show that the enormous number of 100,000,000 young lobsters have been hatched out at the departâ€" mental establishments in Nova Scotia this season. 'l‘hchanadian experts, at the head of whom is Mr. S. Wilmot. Superintendent of Fish Culture. have been singularly successful in the artiâ€" lini-tl propagation of lobsters. It was first tried in 1800, when seven million young fry were batched out safely and placed in their natural haunts. Next year 63,000,000 were produced; in 1892 the hatchery turned out 63.000.000 healthy young shell-fish ; and last year the product- of the hatchery amounted to the large output ofovcr153,000,000.

We culled on Mr. Muybce and others of the teachers to have them L‘Xllllllllt‘ the charts and give their views on the matter. Mr. .‘llaybcc was so enthusiastic, on seeing: the charts, that he offered to get up entertainments. in season- ablc time. to pay for the same. llis verdict since using,' them in the schools is that he can teach those branches which the charts illustrate in one-half the time that he could before. I thought we. the School Board, might ask our \vorthy rccvc to appoint and declare . a certain day as u civic holiday, and to be set aside in the interest. of our public schods. and to ask the park committee to grant the use of the park. I have no doubt they will give it fix-e that day for that pur- pose. for so worthy an object. to pay off flu- dcbt fir these charts, which cost $30. \Vill emu-e of our people interest themselves in thi~ matter. and organize at once as to the bc-‘t way and means or meeting: same.

There is no law to define the place of residence. beyond the one requiring a candidate to be u. resident of the State; but custom, which is often stronger than law, has made it impossible for metropolitan nnd impccuuious lawyers and others to misrepresent constituencies remote from home for 85,000 a year. Why may not Canadians insist upon a hotne- made man ‘? Why depend upon non-resi- dents, as is so frequently done ? There is nota riding in all Canada but can send plenty of' men whose hopes and hearts and minds are all for home and native land. The complex and highly organized condi- dilion of society in England may justify the custom which finds little excuse in a land where free schools and simple institu- tions have existed so long as in Canada. The “ Australian " ballot is Coming into general favor in the United States, and though if has existed in Canada for twenty years nobody seems to know it over there. l The introduction of this secret and inde- pendent system of voting as opposed to the old style of open voting, coming at this lute day in the States, may \VL‘II cause in- quiry and reflection. The Germans are the most numerous of all the foreigners in that country, and the Irish are next to them. By an Irishman one is generally to under- stand n. south-ofâ€"Itelnnd Irishman. With these people the hatred of England and British subjects in general is intense and outspoken. I am firmly convinced that the feelings engendered by the revolutionary war and thntof 1812 would long since have lost their bitterness in native breasts but for the active influence of this large element of the population. 'l‘o-day, as I see and know American sentiment. lif‘, and politi- cal tendency, no war would be so popular as a war with England or Canada. Some may shake their bends at this interpretation of the mental attitude of the people and ask “ what is the influence of the Christian church there, what the influence of the educated, the refined, the peaceful, the philanthropic, on sentiment there?” What;- ever influence they possess, and it is great, is confined to social and professional life, and is practically nothing in politicsâ€"and war is too often politics. Americans are intensely sympathetic, and are generally quick to aid the weak against the strong. To redress the grievances of the Irish race, to remove their lost excuse for hating things British, appears to be the first step to take in bringing nbouta complete reconâ€" ciliation between the empire and tho repub- lic. And this reconciliation is surely de- voutly to he wished by every friend of civilization. Andrew Carnegie thinks the two nations are now ready to become re- united, hnt Joseph Medill, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, himself a Cnnndiun,better understands international sentiment, and points out present obstacles. “ Give IIome lule to lrclnnd ” is the unanimous voice of the United States. The low of love, upan from the sentiment engendered by justice, will convert that historic enemy into a source of strength at home- and abroad; the Russian bear may growl at will, and a pan-English confederation be hostede by a little sacrilice of dignity on the part of those who can afford to make it. It may be the mission of Canada to take her elder sister by the hand and. by her kind oflices, conciliate the one and placate the other, and rc-unite the ties scvcred by injustice and parental stubbornness a century ago. No greater destiny could await any people than to be such a peace-maker, and no nation ever had better opportunity or qual- ifications than Canada with her geographi- cul position and historic integrity. The constitution of the United States was framed by patriots of the noblest im- pulses. If it has any faults they lean to virfue's side. Giving every man the right to vote under certain easy conditions may be regarded as one of these fundamental errors. It is said that in the dcbute on this point, in the convention framing the constio tuliou, Benjamin Franklin crushrd all oppo- sition by his arguments, one of which was this: “Suppose a man to be enabled to vote by reason of his property interests. and suppose that property to consist of a jack- Shnnld the jackass die, there is one less vote in the State. Now. which was the real voter, the man or the jackass '3 ‘" But the gambler. the cut-throat. the anar~ chist, the than having: no fixed place or; interest in society, wields as much influence on election dayas dacs the cultured patriot. and the dcmzigoguc is everywhere making Concessions to the dangerous elements for their votesâ€"in legislative balls. on the stump. on the bench.
