THE VICTORIAN ERA. |
Tv Her Majesty should live so long, she
utumn have reigned longer and
| more gloriously than any former sovereiga | of G at Britain In view of tl s fact the | magazines are begioning to publish seme | teresting reminiscences and statistics. | T sus Sir Edwin Arnold, in The Forum, re lates that when, directly after beimg pro- claimed sovereign, she retired to her ' her's a} artment, sbe said “T can scarcely believe mamma, that I am really Queen of England. Cam itt indea@d, be so?” * You are really Queen my child, replied the Duchess of fKent; listen how your . « still cheer your naine in the
streets and cry to God to bless you in
tris 2.” sa i Her Majesty a I shall perl aps
become accustomed to this too great and splendid state But since [ am sovereign, let me as your Queen, have to-day my
wish—let me be qmite aloue, dear mother, for a long time And that das Victoria passed the first hours of ber reign on her knees, praying to Heaven for herself and her people with supplication: innocent and noble which have surels been heard.” The Edinburgh Review in < the
course of a retrospeetive article says:
There are seventy-five people living on these Islands now for every fifty who werealive when the queen came to the
throne ; 275,000 square miles have been
added—a territory larger than Austria-
in Indie; 80,000 square miles—a territory as vast as Creat Britain—in the rest of Asia ; 200,000 sqjuare mies— & region as large as Germany—
in South Africa, and in East Africa 1,000,000 square miles—or about half the extent of Ecropean Russia. British pos- sessions in North America and in Aus- tralasia cover oue—ninoth of the earth’s dry
Iand. Canada has been politically reor- ganized and translated from rebellion io distinguished loyalty. Constitutioval self- government has been given to Australasia, which may count ou an expansion in the next century similar to that of the United States in this. Jbe British Empire now sow embraces an area of 8,500,000 square tailes, or if the subordinate Indian states aod the possessions of the African com- ponies be included, of 10,000,000 sqnare eniles. It contains a popuiatien of 250, €00,000 people. Nearly one person out of every four on the earth owes allegiance, directly or indirectly, to the Queen.”
The Queen’s reign has indeed been dis- tinguished by expansion in every direction. This has, of course, been large'y due te the use of steam aad electricity. When the Queen waz burn, it waz literally true that “man could not travel faster tham the Pharaohs.” Western first crossed the Atlantic, the Sizius making the voyage in eighteen days; now The Campania makes it id a little more than five: The Victorian age has produced such men and women in literature, “as Megaulay, Grote, Froude, Thackeray, Charloite Bronte, George Eliot, Dickens, Wordsworth, and Tennyson —mea and women who would have been counted great in any age; and “it has done
more to dominate nature and explain

WHAT THE JUDGES SAY
We are asked to publish the text of that part of the judgment of the Privy Council which refers to the grievance of the Roman Catholic minority in Manitoba. To fully coinply with this request, we should have to publish the whole julgment; for the cae, in all its bearings, resulted from the petition of the minority setting forth that grievance. But we cheerfully comply, in so far as our space will admit,—the more readily, indeed.as the jadgment shows clear’ ly that an impartial tribunal, composed of jadges of the highest standing, have made any exhaustive enquiry into the whole matter; and that there is, therefore, no necessity whatever for the commission for investigat'on “with which the Leaders of the Upyosition are just pow trying to hum- bug Parliament and the country :”—
“The sole question to be determined is whether a right or privilege which the Roman Catholic minority previously en- joyed has been affected by the legislation of 1890. Their Lerdships are unable to see how this question can receive anv but
aa allirmative answ.r. Contrast the pos-
ition of the Roman. Catholics prior and subsequent tothe Acts from wuich they appea!. Before these passed into law there existed denominational schools, of which the control and managagement were in the hands of Roman Catholics, who could eelect the books to be used and determine the character of the religious teaching. These sch o's received the.r proportionate share of the money contributed for school purposes out of the general taxation of the province, and the money raised for these purposes by loca! a-sesament was, as far as it fell upon Catholics, applied only toward the suppors of the Cath: lic schosls. What is the position of the toman Catholic minority under the Acts <1 18302. Schools of their own denomin- ation, conducted according to their views, will receive no aid from the State. They must depend entirely for their fupport upon the contributions cf the Roman Catholic community, while the taxes out of which State aid 1s granted to the schools proved for by the statdte ~ fall alike on Catiolics and Protestants. More v er, while the Catholic inhabitants remain liable to iocal assessmeui. for school pur- poser, the proceeds of that. assessment are bo longer destined to any eetent for the support of Cs holic school-; but afford the meaos Of maintaining schools which they regard as no more suitable for the ednea- tion of Catholic children than if they were distinctively Protestant in their character. In view of this comparison,it does not seem possible to say that the rights and privi- Jeges of the Roman Cathoiuc mincrity in | relation to education, which existed prior to 1590, have not been affecie]l. * + - ° It is true that the religious exercises pre- ecribed for public schools are not to be distinctively Protestant, for they are to be ‘non-sectariap,” and any parent may with-
draw his ehild

from them. There may, FROM ALL POINTS OF THE COMPASS,
es
be many, too, who share the view EX: | pressed in one of the affidavits in Barrett's ease. that there should not be any con scientious objections on the part of Roman | Catholics to attend suchschools,if adequate
| means be provided elsewhere of giving
such moral and religious training as may be desired. But all this is not to the pur- »se, Asa matter of fact, the objection f Roman Catholics to schools such as
| alone receive State aid under the Act of, 1890 is conscientious and deeply rooted. If this had not been so, if there kai been a system of yublic education accept- | able to Catholics ani Protestants al-ke, te e abora‘e enactments |
lwiich have been the subject ot so much controversy and consideravion would have been unnecessary. It is -no- |
torious that there were acute differences of | opinion between Catholics and Protestants on the education question prior to 1870 [his is recognized and emphasized in a!
most every line of those enactments.” There is no doubt either what the points of difference were, and it is in the light of these that the 22nd section of the Maui toba Act ef 1870, which was in truth a
parliamentary compact, muet be read.
For the reasons which have been given, their Lordships are of opinion that the 2nd sub-section of section 22 of the Man: toba Act is the governing enact nent, and thet the apal to the Governor General-in-Council was admi-sb'e by virtue of that enactment on the ground: set forth in the memorials and pe: tions, inasmuch as the Actof 1S. 0 atiected reguts or privileges of the Roman Catholic minority in relation to education within the. meaning of the sub-eection. Phe further questioa is submitted whether the Governor — General - in- Conucil has power to make the declarations or remed ial orders asked for in the memorials or petitions, or has any other jurisdicuion in the premises. Their Lordships have de- cided that the Governor General-in.Coun- cil has jurisdiction, aud that the appeal is well founded, but the particular course to be pursued must be determined by the authorities to whom it bas been committed by the statute. Itis not for this tribunal to intimate the precise steps to be taken. Their general character is sufficiently de- fined by the 3rd sub-section of section 22 of the Manitoba Act.
It is certainly not essential that the statutes repealed by the Act of 1899 should be re-enacted, or that the precise provisicns of these statutes should again be made law. The systems of education embodied in the Acts cf 1£99, no doubt, cammends itself to, and adequately sup plies the wants of, the great majority of the inhabitants of the province. All. le- gitimate grounds of complaint would be removed if that system were supplement- ed by provisions which would remove the grievance upon which the appeal is f und ed, and were mod fied so far as might be necessary to give affect to these provi- sions.”
We a:k the close attention of our ‘ntel- ligent readers to this judicial statement, in accordance with which, after a year of fruitiess correspondenee with the Manitoba Government, the Remedial Bill has at last been brought before Parliament. The Bill, it will be observed, recognizes the present schools of Manitoba, and does not prevent anyone who may chooie to do so from sending his children to them. It does sot interfere with the right of the major- ity, while it secures to the minority the denominational schoois which the terms of union, the law and the constitution guarantee. That it may be improved, is admitted, and suggestions to that end are invited. But there is no need for a fur- ther investigation of the case. Tne Lords of the Privy Council show by their judz- ment that they have investigated it thor- oughly, and understand it very well

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
—The Patriot denonnces the railway subsidies “iniquity.” It cannot, then, ask for a subsidy towards aia lway through Belfast to Murray Harbor. An organ so good of a party so pure would not have the p2ople of this Province to be partakers of an “iniqnity.” “Consistency, thou art a jewel.”
—Well our courteous contemporary The Guardian, kindly publish, for the benefit of its readers, the petitiou which the Lord- of the Privy Council, after exhaustive in- vestigation, declared to have been “wel! founded.” It will be found on page — of the official blue book. The names at- tache! to it may be omitted. This is the first time of asking.
—The Guardian is wrong when it says that the public school system of Manitoba is on all fours with that of the Maritime Provinces. That ;art of the judgment of the Privy Council which we publish to- day, by request, shows this clearly. But The Guardian is on the right track con- cerning our means of commubpicat‘oa with the mainland—though fer in rear of Tue Exa incr. It is going in for a@ tinnel uncer, or a_ bridge over, the straits. By the way, if t'@ Dominion authorities may or shall break one Parliamentary compact, they may or can break another. In this sense, the cause of the little minority in Mani‘oba is our Cause.
Sea LECTURE AND EXTERTA!NMENT
Tue lecture agd entertainment under the auspices of Division No. 1, Ancient Order of Hibernians, aitrac'ed a large audience tothe A.O. H. Hall last evening. Mr. W. J. O’Rielly. Vice-President of the Soc- iety, occupied the chair, and in a few re- marks appropriate to the occasion intro- duced the lecturer of the evening, Percy Pope, Esq. Mr. Pope’s subject wasKnow- ledge, and How to Obtain It,” ind his dis- curse was most interesting ind instruc- tive throughout. He began ly drawing attention to the distinction be- tween an appearance of knowledge accom- plishments and the reality, aud then went on to show how true und-rstanding is acquired. He pointed out that there were three essentials to the acquiring of knowledge, and showed (1). That without habits of keen observation, without sensi- tiveness, knowledge is unattainable; (2) If no feeling of love, or of pity, no desire to know, ever is aroused within the breast a man cannot learnof much that goes to make humanity; (3) Unless the intellectual powers are developed a man cannot pos sibly attain to an understanding of the nature and significance of his experience. The scholarly discourse was listened to tLroughcut with the closest attention, and when it was conclude! the 1 arned lecturer was accorded a }ea‘y and unanimous vote of thanks, to which he replied in fit- ting terms. Before and after the enter— tainment an interestiog literary and mus- ical programme was disposed in a most 1) @in:m:n-er. Vocal solos were given by atiss B ‘noit, Mr. Hermans and Mr. eee a r. A.

For the Royal Victeria Hospital,
Monrreat, March 5.—Lord . Mount Stephen and Sir Donald A, Smith have donated another $10,000 apiece for the working expenses of the Royal Victoria hospital built by them two years ago.
Many Miners Entembed,
Berury, March 5.—Fire broke out to- day in the Cleophas coal mine at Katto-— } witz, Prussian Silesia. The bodies of 21 |
| victims of the conflagration have already
been recovered. The fate of the miners
entombed, numbering about 100, is still
uncertain. The Surrender of Jameson,
Loxpox, March 5—A despatch from Pretoria to the Times says: The govern- ment contends that Dr. Jameson’s sur- render was unconditional, but as the Boers demand that the officers should be shot after a drum-head court-martial, the Boer commandant agreed to protect their lives while in his keeping.
Six Hundred Arabs Drowned.
ConstantrvopLe, March 5.— Heavy rains have cecurred in Mesopotomania, and a3 a consequence the River Tigris has over- flowed, vast tracts of land being flooded In the Arma district a nomad tribe of 640 Arabs were drowned and over 30,000 cattle perished in the flood. The damage to pro- perty has been enormous.
The Italian Tio>»p. Defeated
Rome, March 5.—Further details of the battle fought between Italian and Abyssin- ian troops on March 1-t show that the
’ Italians were defeated with a loss of 3,900
killed, including two generals killed and one wounded. The fight lasted the entire day. Scenes in the streets were very ex- citing and denunciations of the munistry were frequently heard.
Death of Governor Greenhalge,
Bostox, March 5.—Governor Green- halge died at 12.30 o’clock this (Thursday) morning, afler an illness extending over only a few days. Frederick T. Greenhalge, lawyer, orator and statesman, was born in Clitheroe, Lancaster c unty, England, Ju'y 19, 1842. Hs father, William Greerhulze, moved to Lowell in 1854, where he as- sumed charge of the copper roller engrav- ing in the Merrimac print works,
Another Important Discovery.
Portiaxp, Me, March 5.—W. H. Brag- don, an electrical engineer and amateur photog’ spher, took a picture of the con- denser cf an electric machine vesterday without using any cathode or “X” rays. He took a perfect picture of an insulated wire through an inch and three-quarters of solid steel. There were 2,000 volts pagsing through the condenser at the time and the machine furnished its own “X” rays. Mr, Bragdoa is the electrical engineer of the S. D. Warren & Co’s., plant in Westbrook.
Deserves the Sympathy ef Europe
Loxpos, March 5.—The St. James’ Ga- zette regards the language ofthe United States House ot Congress as more provo- cative than the disturbance in Buircelona. Spain, it says if confronted with the de- clared hostility of the representative bodies of the American nation, will lose no time in replying thereto. Spain, the Gazette says, deserves the sympatny of Europe, and wil] doybtless get it. If war results, the Jingo politicians may be surprised, as nowhere outside of the United States are the Americans likely to find any sypport for their unlimited poliev of aggression.
The War in Cuba.
Havanna, March 5.—The gunboat Mensayera, which is at Man mar, Bahia, Honda, was attacked by about 500 ineur- gents in row boats, who made an attempt to beard and capture her. The gunboat was bravely defended by the 12 sailors of the crew and by Cammander Buitran, who succeeded in beating of the attack. There is a report that Maximo Gomez is com- p'eielv beseiged by the troop:. At Fer. nandez XIL., near San Nicholas, a party of Guerillas in the government service, ambushed and killed a number of insur geuts, including their leaders, Savas, Herrera and Emilio Sierra.
Glasgow Reeks With Vice
Loxpox, March 5.—Sames Kier Hardi-, the socialist Jabor Jealer, bas make dis- coveries in G!asgow similar to those un- earthed by W. T. Stead in London, the details of which wer* published in 1995 in the Pall Mall Gazette, of which paper Mr. Stead was theo editor. Mr Hardie’s revelations are published in language that is even frabker than that employed by Stead, reporting offences against young women and children. Well known com- mercial and religicus men of Glasgow and the municipal authorities are pilloried by Mr. Hardie for their offences agains: good mcra’s, and itis shown that this model city, wuere it was supposed vice had been abolished, had become a seeret pandemo nium of immorality.
Catholics Should Receive Fair Treatment
Lonpox, Ont., March 5.--Grand Mas- ter Hughes in his address before the grand orange lodge in Ontario a day or two ago said the Roman Catholics should never be granted special privileges that are denied to Prot st ots. “We, as craage- men,” he sail, “are oppesed to separate schools and are bound todo all we can Constitutional y to free our country from them, but we are also unalteraby opposed to tyranny. We weaken our influence in favor of liberty if we allow our prejudices to bind us. I earnestly urge al] orangemen to stand forequal rights and to decide that the Roman Catholies of Manitoba should receive exactly the seme treatment that should te accorded to Protestants under similar circumstances,
A Water Famine in Lowell,
Lowe, Mass., March 5—-This city is in danger of @ water famine. The scant Supply is due to a cave-in of a brick con- duit from the river carrying water into the
mains supplying the sixth street reservoir. This conduit is 40 feet underground, and owing to the frozen condition of the earth, it will be a iong and difficult task to repair the break. The city must de- pent upon ts Chelmstord driven well system which at present is supplying 5,009,000 wa'lons daily, while the nor. mal con-umption is from 1.000000 to 1,150,000 gallons over that fizure. The cold weather results in an inercased con- sumption which complicate: matters, The water board has sent out a warning to householders to be careful and economize on water. There are severa! days’ tnpply left in the regervoir, but th s will be kept for an emergency,
The Venezuela situatio 1,
Loxpox, March 5.—'he St. James Gazette, yesterday, publ shed a forecast tummary of the British blue book, upon the Venezula situation, which is shortly 'o be issued. It is said to contain extracts from the archives of Holland, from the latter part of the sixteenth to the second decade of the 19th century and extracts from the archives of Spa’n from Orellana’s ascent of the river Amazon in 1542 and Mariioez’s ascent of Orinoco River to Diegoe de Ordaz, down to Venezuela’s in- dependence in 1830. All the documents in this connexion have been ransacked in
