to be stubborn and disobedient to the law,

-——thus guaranteeing to the minority ia

fanituba the right which, according to the constitution of the province, is theirs. It cannot be said, on the one hand,that these

provisions are “coercive” or “ tyranni- ;” it cannot, on tbe other hand, be said

1

ca that they will be ineffective. The the Bill,

that which strikes at the root of the whole

most important section of

matter, is the following,—

“The Roman Catholic ratepayers of » school district, inc!uding religious, benevo- lent and educational corporations, shal! be liable to be assessed for the support of the separate schools in the district.

““No Roman Catholic who is assessed for the support of a separate school shall be liable to be assessed, taxed or required in any way to contribute for the erection, maintenauce support of any other school, whether by provincial law or other- wise; nor shal! any of his property in res- pect of which he shall bave been so assess- ed be so liable.

“But any Romaa Catholic who is pos- tessed of property liable to assessment, within a separate school district, which is also within the limits of public school district, established by or under the provisions of the legislature of the _prov- ince of Manitoba, may, at his option, re- quire that each property shall not be levied upon for the support of separate schools, by giving to the secretary-treasurer of the separate school district and the clerk of the municipality a written notice to that eect at any time prior to the completion of the assessment roll. and thereafter such property shall be liable to be assessed for the support of said public schools until such option be withdrawn which may be done by written notice of such withdrawal

or

some

given by said Roman Catholic owner to the vfficials before mentioned. No such notice whether of an option to support

public schools or of withdrawal from such support shall in any way affect the liabil- ity of the person giving the notice or of the property for any amount assessed or levied thereupon previously to such rotice for the support either of separate or public echools as the care may be. Such person, while isig property is not levied upon for support of separate schools as afore- aforesaid, shall not enjoy any of the privi- leges, nor shall he be eligible to vote, or liable to perform any of tbe duties provid- ed by this Act.”

The j dent that there is no need to discuss them. The arbitrary taxation of Roman Catho-

istice Of these provisions is so evi-

lics for schdols to which they ¢annot con- Scientiously send their children, is thus completely done away ; and, at the same time, Roman Catholics who may prefer tie public schools may pay their taxes to- wards such schools, and not for the Sep- arate Schools—that is Roman Catholics shall not be, as at present, prac-

to say,

ticsily liable to be doubly taxed for school purposes.

The Bill also provides that loans, with the tanciion ofthe Lieutenant-Governor- in-Council, or Cin case of refusal of such se.nction) the Governor-General-in-Council, the trustees of Separate Schools may ob- ‘ain loans of certain limited sums for the erection of necessary buiidings.

Such, in brief, is the Bill to which Mr. Laurier has moved the six months’ hoist,

va the ground—according to the Guar dian’s report—that it does not afford suffi cient relief to the Catholics.

A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT.

Tue Summerside Journal directs atten- tion to a decided improvement that has been made in the mail service of the Pro- vince. It says: has been found with the seortation land mail matter by the I. C. R. mail clerks, bv which only a small portion of the matter intended for Summerside and other points west was received here on the day it crossed at the Capes, the bulk of it going to Charlottetown, and reaching Summerside the following day. This year Mr. Richard Hunt went energetically to work to remedy this grievance, and through his efferts the mail service has been put in as good a shape as possible, and the trouble nitherto complained cf no longer exists, or ar least not to any extent The Postmaster-General instructions resp ctiny

worth noting. bas given special the Island mails, and Post Office Inspector

King, of New Brunswick, has eo arranged and laid of the work for the mail clerks under his direction that the distribution on the I. C. R.

is now excellent, and nearly all mail mat- ter intended for Summereide and Sum- merside distribution, reaches here direet from Cape Traverse the same day it crosses, and little or nothing is carried to Charlottetown beyond a few Nova Scotisn papers. All letters, all registered matter, nearly all American and New Brunswick and Upper Province papers are bagged eff and labelled separately for ‘Summerside and Distribution” so that they reach here without delay, and are not mixed with matter bagged off and labelled for Charlottetown and Georgetowa and Prince Edward Island R. P. O. The Sum- merside distribution, for which, as above noted, sortation is made ontheI.C.R includes the following post offices, which all receive their foreign mail matter with- out the delay and annoyance of former Be leque, Belmont, Carleton, Cen tral Bedeque, Lot 16, Miscouche, Muddy Creek, North Bedeque, North Carleton, Ross’ Corner, St. Eleanors, Sea Cow Head, Searletown, South West, Lot 16, Sammer- side. This is certainly a great aud most gat- isfactory improvement over previous years and Mr. Hunt is entitled to the thanks of business men and of the community gen-

years ;

a change.” This is Dut

practical improvements obtaioed, through

one of the many decided the instrumentality of our active repre- sentative men,—WMr. Hunt, Mr. Martin, Mr. McDonali, Mr. McLean, Mr. Hackett

and others, who have interested them-

ue | selves on behalf of the people—since the

Hon. Donald Fergusen obtained a seat in the Cabinet. Mr. F_rguson’s energy and ability in support of the memorials of our people have, indeed, been evidenced in every department of the public service. On the railway, stations that had been closed have been opened, trains taken off have been restored, sharper connections bave been made, and many of the men and officers have received increases in their pay. On the Stanley, lower rates of freight and paseage have been secured. All over the country dairy station have been established as a result of the efforts of the excellent officers of the Department of Agriculture. These and many other improvements that hate been introduced may be taken as evidence that sti]] more will be done in the future. In respect to rai'way extension throug’: Belfast to Mur- ray Harbor and’ Montague, io respect to improved conditions and means of com- munication with the Mainland, and in re- spect to many other things, the assistance of practical and energetic men—:men who can be depended upon—-is yet needed. It is to be hoped that the men who have done weil! in the past will have the full confidence of the people in the future.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Nail and Empire: Mr. Fraser blames the late Minister of Justice for inspiring

| President Cleveland’s hostile message. He

does not say which member of the Cabinet e-ged on Emperor William to wire his congratulations to Kruger.

— Harpers Weekly, 2n impartial antho:- ity, reviews the Manitoba case, and in summing up says:

“Tt has frequently been stated that the whole trouble has arisen through the arro- gance of the federal government’s too per- emptory demands upon the younger Legis- lature, but a glance at the facts of the case and @ comparison of the dates of the differ- ent messages preclude any such judgment. Manitoba holds the possibility of serious trouble in her grasp, and seems determin- ed to push her advantage withont regard to the much-vaunted quality of ‘fair plxy’ lorg claimed to be exclusively another British possession.”

—The Week: It is now quite clear that the most decisive personal -ccre made by anv man in English public life since D’fasraeli returned from Berlin in 1877 is that achieved by Mr. Chamberlain in the Colonia! Office within the last few months. In that office he has found an opportunity to prove himself the strong man who knows his own mind—who knows the popular mind, and who has the courage and capacity to express clearly and deci- sively the will of a great nation. That is the kind of mau whom nations watch and wait for, and whom they delight to honor. It is quite certain that Mr. Chamberlain has, at a@ bound, placed himself in the front rank of the few. men who are possible British Premiers, The fact has an infinite variety of bearings on British poli- tice, but pone which more deserves atten- tion ‘han the Colonial Office is made at once something different in the eyes of Euglish statesmen from what it ever has been before. We may take it for granted that it is not likely hereafter to fall to any but first rate men. When the thunder- bolts of the Empire have to be wielded from Downing Street the directing hand must be steady and strong, and strong men at the Cojonial Office, pursuing I‘nes of policy at once popular and national, will find there work worthy cf their energies. We may yet see Downing Street looked upon as especially the train- ing place for statesmen of the highest type.

The list of accidents in the btnting fi.ld in England continues to be very heavy this season. A recent fatali:y was the death cf a Mr. Kirk, aged 76 years,

"TWAS ENGLISHMEN'S NIGRT.

Riterfainment in the Uppet Methodist Church.

What Mr. Kirby had to Say Respecting the New Poet Laureate.

A large number of people braved the unfavorable weather of last evening, and “Englishmen’s Night” in the Upper Methodist Church was well attended. The Sons of England turned out well, and oc- cupied prominent scats in the centre aisle, presenting a splendid appearance in their handsome regalias. Mr. L. &. Prowee, M. L. A., presided.

The Rev. Mr. Kirby prefaced bis lecture on “Alfred Austin, Poet Laureate” by several! important references. He quoted from “Thomas Wartou’s History of English Poetry” showing that as early as 1251 one hundred shillings were paid as the stipend of the King’s versifier, or as the firet ap poisted, John Ray, under Edward IV., styled himeelf “ihe King’s humble poet laureate.” The office was not definitely established until 1591 when Edmund Spencer received the first appointment, followed by sixteen others to Alfred Austin the present wearer of the bay wreath.

In dealing with the deceased Laureate the lecturer showed that he was far from being a Pagan, as George Parsons Lathrop designated him since his death. Apt quotations were made from bis writings, as well as from his meice Miss Agnes Grace Weld, showing him to have been a Christian and a firm believer in the re- ligion of Jesus Christ. Had he not left on record words to prove his faith, his death- bed would at once dissipate any thought of his unbelief. His faithful physicians, Dr’s, Sir Andrew Clark and Dabbs have each written of the beautiful death. “Lord Tennyson has hada gloriously beautiful death,” said Sir Aadrew. “In all my ex- perience I have never witnessed anything There was no artificial lights in the chamber; and all was in darkness save for the silvery light of the moon at its full. The soft beams of light fe’l upon the bed and played upon the features of the dying poet like a halo of Rembrardt.” Dr. Dabbs also wrote ; “Nothing could have been more striking than the scene durirg the last few hours. On the bed a figure of breathing marble, flooded, bathed, in the light of the fall moon streaming through the oriel window, his hands clasping the Shakespeare which he had asked for but recently, and which he had kept by him to the end, the moon- light; the msjestic figure as he lay there drawing thicker breath irresistibly brought to our minds his own ‘Passing of King Arthur.’ —_ His last conscious words were of love addressed to his wife and son, words too sacred to be written here.”

How true to his own words was his death :

* For though from out our bourne Of time and place The flood may se me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to fac? When I have crossed the bar.”

This poem was capitally sung by Miss L. Howard. The lecturer then pro- ceeded, and gave specimens of the poetry of the men who were thoightto havea better right to the Jaureateship. Then another selection from Lewis Morris, two pieces, ‘Good Words and Faithful Deeds” and “The Martyr Crown,’ from Swin- burne were selected “Sir Phillip Sydney”

and “A Baby’s Death,” all of which were exceedingly tine. The poem by William Watson on

**Memorial Verses on the late Laureate” was then recited by, Mr. Ernest H. Duche- min.

After a recitation by Mr. Wallace Pickard on “Our Relations to America,” by Tennyson, and singing by the choir “The Flag of the Free,” the lecturer pro- ceede}.

“Alfred Austin, poet laureate, received his appointment from the Queen o4 the last day of December, 1895, three years after the death of Lord Tennyson. He was born at Headingly, Leeds, May 3@th, 1835. His father was a merchant and magistrate of Leeds; his mother was asist2r of Joseph Locke, the eminent civil engineer and M. P. for the borough of Honitoa of whith be was Lord ot the Manor. He was sent to Stonyhurst College, afterwards to Bt. Mary’s College, Oscott, and after that took his degree at the University of Londoa in 1853, and in 1857 was called to the bar of the [nner Temple.

An anonymous publication entitled “Randolph” was his fir-¢ work, at 18 years of age. On the death of his father in 186L be quitted the Northern Circuits and went to Italy. His first acknowledged verse was “The Season : a Satire,” which appeared in 1861. A third and revised edition of this work appeared in 1869 Then quickly in succession ceme “The Human Tragedy,” “The Golden Age,” “Interludes,” “Rome or Death,” ‘Madon- na’s Child,” “The Tower of Babel,” a drama, and other works, until now the British Museum contains forty volumes from his pen. Asa novelist he has writ- ten “Five Years Of It,” “Won By a Head,” “An Artist’s Proof.’ “The Poetre of the Period” was reprinted from the Temple Bar in 1870, and a “Vindication of Lord Byron,” occasioned by Mrs. Stowe’s article,“The Story of Lord By- ron’s Life.” He has written much for the Standard and the Quarterly Review,

and represenied the Standard at Rome during the sittings of the Ecumenical Council of the

Vatican, aud was epecial correspondent at the headquarters of the King of Prussia in the Franco-German war. His political writings include “Russia Before Europe,” “Tory Horrors,” a reply to Mr. Gladstone’s “Bulgarian Horrors,” “England's Policy and Peril,” &c. He founded in conjune- tion with W. J. Courthope “The National Review;” and coatinued to edit it till 1893 About fifteen years ago, in the monti of May, when Mr. Austin was visiting Del phi, a Greek priest tore from a tree, in full flower, a branch of bay and gave it to him. When Lord Tennyson died Mr. Austin sent this branch to Aldworth as his tribute, and it was placed in the coffin with Lady Tennyson’s roses and a volume of Shakesp are.

Mr. Austin has been severely criticised, but he has by common consent the two es- sential qualifications of a laureate, patriot- ism and réyalism. As awriter says, in him they are “irreproachable, uncompro- mising, ecstatic.”

He has been more generally designated “the laureate of spring,” and be has the happy faculty of spreading out the Englieh Janes, and fi-l ie, and flowers, while you al most imagine you revel in Nsture’s glory. As he sings:

“None of these, nor all can match At least for him who loves to,watch The wild-flowers come, hear wild birds sing,

With us it loiters more than where It comes, it goes, half unaware; Makes winter short, makes summer long, In autumn half renews its song; Nor even then deth Le ice depart, But hibernates within my heart.”

Only one learned in spring’s successions would ask these questions in a “Letter from Italy”:

“Have the apple blossofhs burst ? Is the oak or ash the first ? Are there snow-balls on the guelder ? Can you scent, as yet, the elder? On the bank-side that we know Is the golden rose aglow, Like Love’s evergreen delight, Never out of season quite, But most prodigal in spring When the white-throats*pair and sing?

Or again, bis love of spring is heard in

these words:

The spring-time will not come to date; Winds, clouds and frosts man’s reckon- ing mar, For bud and bloom you have to wait, Despite your ordered calendar.

If nature built by rule and square, Than man what wiser would she be? What wins us is her careless care And sweet unpunctua'ity.

Mr. Austin himself is the best exempli- fication of the lines; the secret of his skill comes out in them.

Ah! if you knew the hours on hours One lives with birds, oue spends with flowers; How many a time one’s eyes grow wet By gazing on the violet; How often all one has to show For days that come and days that go, Are woolland nozegays all abloww. You then, I think, would scarcely deem One’s songs of spring a borrowed theme, Bat own that English poets learn In every hour, at every turd, From Nature’s page, from epeech, ¥ hat neither book nor bard

Nature’s

can teach.

A beautiful poem, “The Season s.” was then recited by Dr, J. H. Ayers, wh» also recited Austin’s idea of peacee—*‘P-ace on Earth.” Specimens of bis ability as a songz writer, “The Haymeker’s Song” and “The G-ave-digger’s Song,” were reci:ed

by Wallace Toombs, and the final poem, “Jameson’s Ride,” by Alfred Riggs. The

lecturer closed the peroration by reciting, instead of singing, as he expected, “The Englishman’s Song,” the first verse of which is a3 follows (words written by Eliza Cosk) ;

There’s a land that bears a well-known name, Tho’ ’tis but a little spo’; Tis the first on the blazing scroll of fame, And who shall aver it is not? Of the deathless ones who shine and live In arms, in arts, in song, The brightest the whole wide world caa

give To that little land belong. ’Tis the star of the earth, deny it wno can, The Island home of an Englishman.

The lecture was well wriiten, and was mos: interesting and instructive thr u-h out. The music rendered by the cnor was a pleasing feature cof the «vening’s entertainment, and the different recitation= were generously applauded.

At the close, a hearty vote of thanks wae, on motion of John T. Mellish, Esq., seconded by William Harris, Esq., tendei— ed to Rev. Mr. Kirby, to which he replied in a@ fitting manner. “God Save the Queen” brought the entertainment to a clo e.

PARLIAMENT OF CANADA.

Debate on the Remedial Bill,

ee

Orrawa, March 6.

Hon. Mr. Ives in resuming the debate on the Retmedial Bill said that as the repre- sentative of the Protestant minority ot Quebec he had naturally to give a great deal of study to the manner in which his position was affected by tne present ques- tion. He held that there was no need of an investigation. Noone wanted further information. All was knowa already. He said we know on the other hand that if this question is not settled in this House at this session it becomes a ques- tion in the next general election. Does Mr. Laurier want for any political purpose to keep this sore open, to leave this question unsettled? Is he gaining by it? Does he find his present position happy when he has actually to drag some of his followers into supporting him? Does he wact to go to the country with this question unsettled? Why did he not come out with his own motion based on the opinion of Sir Oliver Mowatt and move for his commission? Why in- deed because his irreconcilable supporters in this House would not vote for it. When the two great parties in Parliament so nearly agree upoo this matter as to regard it as merely a question of when and whether now or a few weeks or months hence we should settle this question, I say it is the duty of all parties to join to- gether and agree upon a settlement of the question. (Cheers.)

Mr. Craig said he had deolared each scssion th t, while he would support tle general policy of the Government, still if Remedial Legislation was imtroduced he would oppose the measure. In his judg- ment Manitoba should be left alone,

Sir Hector Langevin quoted the British North America Act to show that it was the duty of Parliament to exercise its power in such cases as this. He contend- ed that Archbishop Tache, who condact- ed negotiations on behalf of the Catholics, at the time of the union, had been prom- ised Separate Schools, and that even if this was not clearly expressed in the Man- itoba Act, the intention was there. The Bill before the House was acceptable be- cause it restored the rights taken away by the Act of 1890. He thought the granting of such justice would restore harmony and peace in the country.

Dr. Sproule made a vigorous attack on the Bill. He regretted that he had to vote azainst his party, but he owed a duty to the country, as well as to the party.
