TRISH PARTIES AND IRISH MONEY. BIX MONTHS' TEAiTWAY WOS2ING. expected The one thing which requino'deBion-stration by evidence before the intended Committee is the reality of the agricuitural'. depression. However it may-be caused, the fact is patent that the distress is now not idfectinglandownersand tenant-farmers aloae, but has extended to the labourers, who are being paid off in all directions.

In, this case; the cause is visibly the low prices of agricultural products but, then, it is not to be denied that these low prices are in themselves an immense blessing to the other sections of the community, whose-case has also to be considered. Now Mr. Chaplin contends that we must either do something to check the fall in agricultural prices or we must be prepared te witness the ruin our greatest national industry. But to. check the fall or attempt to raise artificially will be to do an irmnense injury and injustice to all the other industries in the country.

Mr Chaplin, of course, believes that an international system of bimetallism' will solve the problem at once and for ever, because he attributes the low prices entirely; to "the change in the value of money" a rather carious way of putting it. But whatever may be the virtues of bimetallism virtues which we have never been, able to discover the depreciation in prices has been caused by a variety of causes, and to remove one cause would not be to alter the general effect. The situation is made the more' confusing by some of the proposals put1 forward on behalf of the unemployed. For instance, it is suggested that large bodies of them might ba at once put to work in reclaiming wastelands, not only for afforestation but also for cultivation, and it is obvious that if more land is brought under cultivation' agricultural prices will be still further depressed by the increased domestic competition. Short of bimetallism, Mr Chaplin has one other remedial proposal, and that is to reduce the duty on beer so as, presumably, to eneourage the consumption of barley.

But as it is made a condition of this preposal that the loss of revenue should be; compensated by a tax on foreign barley, it will to the Armenian question, he was told that it was inexpedient to travel in Turkey just now. There was a great deal of snow, the roads were bad, and there was the danger of cholera to be considered. His Highness went on point out that there were always disturbances 1 Armenia, bat that many lies were written about the actions of the Turks. If there were massacres and outrages it was months ago, and interest on the subject had now ceased. Our correspondent repeatedly urged that permission should be given te travel through Turkey, but Djevad Pasha emphatically stated that nobody would be allowed to enter the prohibited region.

It is impossible to interpret the conduct of the other' faction at the first meeting of the party at Westminster this week otherwise than as an act of retaliation. Last session the Healyites had two members on the Parliamentary Committee the chief himself aridrMf T.

At the party meeting on Tuesday Mr Sullivan was turned out, Mr Healy himself was at the bottom of the poll for the Committee, and two members of the Dillonite faction were elected in place of Mr Sullivan and Mr' Davitt, who had resigned; Left thus solitary; Mr Healy has lost no time iniresigning. In consequence 6f the action of those responsible for planning and arranging: the vote, whereby the Parliamentary Committee of the IrisH Party was selected, Mr Healy has declined to act as a member." So runs the announcement in his organ. Clearly he believes himself to have been ousted by intrigue.

The other faction may deny it they do hot, as a matter of fact, deny the truth of the report of the meeting that has leaked out but it is undeniable- that Mr Healy has practically been efEraded from the councils of the Party, that the Committee now contains no representative of his oEowing, and that therefore the his office made by Mr Robert Adam, city chamber-j of capital due at tbe end n-' lain.

This society was formed a year ago under the auspices of the council of tbe Women's Protective and Provident League, and since then it has done important work in stimulating and consolidating the interest in women's labour questions throughout Scotland.

Her spars, which will year has been an inquiry into the conditions of women's employment in shops, conducted by Miss appointed to make the first half-year's working; Few people could have looked for a profit at the outset' of a new undertaking, almost every detail of which had to be learned-by the whole, staff from the directing head to the most subordinate officer even, it -may be said, down to the horses.

That such a vast new machinery should begin "to work without a hitch was in the nature of things impossible. Yet the most adverse critic is bound to admit that whatever may be the merits of the amended servicie it has been brought into operation with wonderful celerity and smoothness. Tfie displaced Company seem to have had on the whole rather more difficulty in adapting themselves to the new conditions of- their existence than the Corporation have had in inaugurating and completing what was for them a wholly new enterprise. It is an immense relief to learn, on the authority of the Lord Provost, that the revenue of the half-year ending 31st December last has met all charges properly falling" against the undertaking, viz. Working expenses, interest on capital, rent in name of 4600 paid to tie Common Good, upkeep of cars, plant, and buildings, maintenance of permanent way, and loss -by death resale of horses.

There is even a- credit balance afterpayment of all these charges though the atnount of it is not stated- and the extra low rate at which the Corporation have been able to borrow money of late does riot affect the accounting, as the tramways are debited with interest at a higher rate. That such a result should have been achieved in spite of the competition, and of the inaugural difficulties with stud and drivers which prevented- a full, service of cars from run for many weeks after opening, says a great deal' for the management, as the citizens will cheerfully admit. There are, however, one or two points to be borne in i mindi which will restrain any extravagant expectations from our short experience. The half -year's earnings have been debited, with upkeep of cars and plant, but the outlay under "this head on aew material must have been -merely This is a charge winch-" must7 grow in volume as this new material way through wear and' tear.1 Again, although the loss by death and re-sale of. horses has been debited, if does not; appear that anything has been set aside towards depreciation of the remaining stud and the average life of a tramway horse is, we believe, only about five years.

Again, the Corporation have been fortunate in having had sis months of the lowest prices on record for provender and fodder. A comparatively slight advance in corn and hay would, in the case of a stud of 8000 horses, quickly wipe out the credit balance and "leave a fgap on the other side of the account. We mention these things not in any spirit of- what Bailie Primrose calls "-captious criticism stall less in ill-considered comment but by way of -warning against the assumption that we are out of the wood'. Opinions may differ as to the wisdom of reducing fares before the cost of working had been thoroughly ascertained by experience, over different portions of the year, but now that fares have been cut down, we are more than aver at the mercy of the grain and hay market. There is no prospect of an early advance -in provender and fodder, but the is a serious liability which cannot be ignored.
