E—— Tue activity of all the commercial eountries in pushing their trade relations, with some detriment to the commerce of England, in localities where the mer- ehants aad manufacturers have had an almost complete control, has induced the Enghsh foreign office to urge upon the diplomatic ana consular representatives ter vigilance and zeal in furthering lish intercsts.

Parlinment has closed its doors until early in raary. The first session of the first parliament under coahition Tule has ended, leaving upon the public mind in England an impression far from favor- able toits conservative rulers. to face with the startling showing of more than five thousand persons evicted in Ire- Iand during the past three months from inability to pay their r the govern- ment flatly refused to raise its hands for the relif of a suffering peasan- try and closed the gates of Westminster with the threat of renewed coercion and another crimes act ringing in the bers pledged to resist the re bayonet rule in Ireland. not a cheering one. A dreaded winter is approaching across the channel. The cries of an impoverished tenantry must soon give way to the moans of starving women and children. The potato crop is once more short, while the prices ob- tainable for farm vroducts have de- creased by a quarter since the land act of five years ago went into eftect. Tem- porary relief has been coldly re- jected in the rejection of nell’s bill. Under such circumstances the most natural conclusior is that the object of the ministry is to goad Ireland into desperation and violence and once more fall back on the old and well tried instrument of coercion. The session of parliament just closed is chietly remarkable for the reactionary spirit which guided its work. The Irish question, at once the most pressing and important and which called the new par- liamentinto existence, was laid aside for future consideration. The appropriation bills were passed, all general legislation shelved, and the attempts of the nationalists to bring Irish matters be- fore the house were suppressed by the arbitrary use of the speaker’s authori The policy adopted by Lord Churchillis that of the politician., Two commissioners have been appointed to gather facts about Ireland which are al- ready on file in Downing street. Post- ponement instead of progress is the order of the day. It is doubtful whether the ODpurliamen- tary recess will be as long as anticipated. The disorders for which Churchill and his ally Beach hope so earnestly, may break out across the chanuel before Jan- uary is over. Then pafliament will be hastily summoned to debate the question of coercion. umption of e situation is Alaska's Resources. The investigation which Lieutenant Schwatks is making of the resources of Alaska has already given a much more favorable opinion of that land than was possessed before, and he probably has a great deal yet to learn and disclose, Al- though charged with some inaccuracies the facts stated by the lientenant are in the most important respects coufirmed by men who have made themselves familiar with that country. Captain John McCaflerty, a pioncer of Aluska, recently stated to a Washington paper that the mineral resources of the country are ex- tensive and that the mining interests are steadily developing. But while much has been done a great deal remains Lo be done before the vast amount of wealth hidden there is appreciated. The Tread- well mine on Dougluss island he regards as the most valuable on the American continent. .Senator Jones, of Nevada, is one of the principal owners of this mine and derives a large revenue from it. The mine is ropresented to be a perfect quarry of low grade gold ore, and the company's mill, running 120 stamps, is the largest under one roof in the world. Pespocting the fur and fish industries, the captain says tho former is declining, while the catch of the lut- ter and the markets are precarious, Neyertheless the fur interest is still very considerable, and is jealously guarded by the Alaska Seal Fur com- pany, which at present enjoys & mono- poly of the trade. This pioneer states, contrary to the representations of Gover~ nor Swineford, that there is not an agricul- tural or pastural range in the whole country. There is other testimony than that of the governor, howeyer, that in some parts of Alaska considerable agricultural development is practicable. The proposition to give Alaska a full territorial form of goverpment Captain McCafferty characterized as utterly non- sensical. It was urged, he said, by a whisky ring of which governwent offi- cials the tervitory are members. Un- der the organic act the importation and sale of intoxicatng liquors are prohibited, vote for a | | cise of course control over the | ferty that it would be a great m THE but this is steadily violated, so the captain represents, with the collusion and to the pecuniary advantage of these official The entire white population of Ala comprises only 1,200 persons, most of whom live in the southeastern portion of the territory.

The report of the chief inspector of the postoflice department records 550 arrests, during the year end- ing June 30, of persons in the service, Of this number there were only 24 from the army of letter carriers, and but 13 from the large body of postal clerks, a very small pereentage which speaks well for the gencral honesty of these faithful servants of the people. The postuasters and assistant postmasters who went wrong numbered together 77, and there were 27 mul carriers who found the temptation too great for them.

Governor Foraker aud Congressman MeKinley o already in the field, and next Tuesday evening Senator Sherman will enter the lists. Having an exceedingly strong case, nst the demoera by reason of its mal-administration, cor- ruption and venality in all directions, the republicans appear disposed to make the most of their opportunity, With abund- ant ammunition in the b; the corruption of the legislature in the clection of a United States senator, the prostitution of the supreme court and the bankrupting of the state treasury, the republicans haye just made an addi- tion to it by an exposure of the corrup! and swindling n gement of the tentiavy under demoeratic oflicia they are making good use ot thes “find.” - Governor Foraker ha muaking a special study of state u under democratic rule and will devote himself chiefly to presenting these, while Senator Sherman will discu questions and Congi McKinley will keep the tarift’ question well to the for It will thus be seen that the repub- 1 cause in Ohio will not suffer for able, eloquent and thorough advocacy. T reports regarding the failure of the natural gas supply in Pennsylvania are shown by a correspondent of the New York Zimes to be entirely un- founded, and it is further shown that the gas wells are practically inexhaustible, at least for a couple of generations. The great benefit of this fuel in reducing the consumption of coal is indicated in the estimate that in Pittsburg and Allegheny City alone 155,000,000 bushels of coal are saved annually by the use of natural gas. This coal, observes the Zimes, ‘‘has been saved for future consumption by communities to which natural gas is not available, and thus the gasis becoming a powerful factor in lessening the drafts on the coal deposits of the land, which, it has been predicted, must eventually give out and leave the country depen- dent upon other sources of fuel. On this account, if on no other, the fact that the gas supply is in no danger is of the greatest importance in every section of the country.” commissioner of pensions for the fiscal year would seom to bo suflicient to silence all complaintthat the zovernment bas not been liberal toward the soldiers of the rebellion, It has shown that still, more than twenty years after the close of the war, the pension roll is increasing aud the amount paid in pensions is greater year by year.

The proof of it does not rest on surmise or suspicion. It isnot to be pooh-poohied or brushed away by pro nouncing it one of Rosewater’s malicious campaign slanders The records of the legislature of which Church Howe 1 4 member in contain the indelible proofs of the treas onable conspiracy, and no denial can stand against evidence furnished by his own pen. Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democracy is as follows In 1876 Nebraska elected Silas AL Strickland, Amasa Cobb and A. H. Connor presidential electors by a vote of 81,916 as against a vote of 16,054 cast for the Tilden and Hendricks electors. After the s discovared that the eanv; of this vote could not take place under the then existing law before the legislature convened. The electoral vote had to be ecanvassed in December at the latest, and the reguiar - sion of the legislature did not be until January fn order to make a legal canvass of the electoral returns, Governor Garber called a special session of the legislature to convene on the 5th of December, *76, at Lincoln, for the pur- pose of canvassing the electoral vote of the state. The demoeratic effort to eap- ture republican electoral votes is historic. Tilden’s friends, notably Dr. Miller, had been plotting for the capture of one of the electors from Nel a, and it 1s also historie that n large bribe was offered to one of the clectors, General Strickland. The call of the legislature broke into the plan of the plotters, and they found a will- ing and reckless tool i Church Howe. When the legislature convened at the eay tal,Church Howe hled a protest which may be found on pages 6, Tand 8 of the Ne- braska House Journal of 1877. The fol- lowing extract makes interesting readin; *1, Chnreh Howe, & member of the legisl: ture of Nebraska, now convened by procla- mation of his excellency, Governor Silas Garber, for the purpose of canvassing and ng the resultof the vote cast in N a for electors for president and vice dent of the Unitid States, hereby enter my solemn protest against such act, denying that the governor has power to call this body in special session for any such purpose, or that this body has apy authority to canva: or declare the result of such voteupon the following grounds: First.

The concluding sentences of this precious document are as follows: “For the foregoing reasons I protest against any canvass of the electoral yote of the state by this body, and demand that this, my protest, be entered upon the journal.” (Signed) Church Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraska. The democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was burely 2 quorum in the senate, while there were soveral to spare in the house of which Howe was o member. The protest en- tered by Howo was doubtless prepared by the 7Tilden lawyers in Omabs and Howe had the glory of being the sole champion of Swn Tilden. The legisla- ture ignored Chureh Howe, spread his protest on its record and canvassed the electoral vote in spite of it, ‘When the legislature convened in Jan- uary, 1877, residen contest was at ats height m Washington.
