I professes not t abie to see how that decisions of the Privy Couneil are con sistent with each other, or that * there is anvthing in either or both thece decisions that wi wstify or excuse the Federal Government in coercing Manitoba and forcing a system of separate schools upon her unwilling majority.” The case is perfectly clear. The first decision of the Privy Council declared the Manitoba Acts of 1890 to be intra vires and valid —for majority; the second decision declared

that the minority in Manitoba had under

those acts “a grievance,” to which the provisions of the Manitoba Act are applic AUC These provisions are: (1) That nothing in any law of the Province shal) prejudiciaily affect any right or privilege in respect to denominational schools. (2) That an appeal from any such law shall ‘ . ; ; e to the Gevernor-Generai-in-Counc.! (3) That in case any decision of the

In the course of their Judgment to the Lords the Privy Council

“Bearing in mind the circumstances which existed in 1870, it does not appear to their Lordships an extravagant notion, that in creating a legislature for the Prov- ince with limited powers, it should have been thought «xpedient, in case either Catholics or Protestants became prepond- erant, and rights, which had come into existence under different circumstances were interfered with, to give the Dominion Parliament power to legislate upon matters of educatiou, as faras was necessary to aa the Protestant, or Catholic, minor-

The late agitation of the Patriot and Guardian in respect to crossing at the Capes, now, when the mails are coming regularly, is in view of a general election. But the people are not fools and will not be misled. The fact is that the service at the Capes was never before as strong and eflicient as it is this year.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The Mail and Kmpire remarks that Sir Donald Smith seems to have attempt- ed what Mr, Laurier promised he would do, and if his efforts towards effecting a compromise prove succeseful he will have earned the gratitude of all right-thinking Canadians.

—It is well remarked by the Mail and Empire that Mr. Greenway can settle the School Question with even great- er ease than Mr. Fitzsim— mons settled Mr. Mahar, but, unfortunate- ly. he has not got the right men to back him.

—The Ontario Grit press pictures the Government “‘prostrate at the feet of the Roman Catholic hierarchy.” The Quebec Grit press charges the Government wi ith “deceiving and humiliating Catholics,” and says it is “almost unbeliecable” that an Orange government could do justice to the Roman Catholics. Grit opinion, it appears, is governed by degrees of longti tude.

— Moncton Times: In quite a pumber | of Ontario constituencies the Liberals in convention have decided not to yut up straight party candidates, bat to support third party men. Ia the New Brunswick legislature a seconder could not be ‘found for a motion protesting against the course of the Dominion Government ou the Man- itoba Question. The Grit party and the Grit policy are equally in di-favor.

—Montreal Gazette: Those papers which are apologizing for, or making pre- paration to defend th ir conduct in pub- lishing Mr. McConnell’s open letter about Sir Charles Tupper, will be in a position to appreciate the humor of the. current joke that an editor 13 a map who keeps out of the paper staff that other wen write to pnt into it.

—The Sea Breeze and Westera Star, of Pugwash, N. 8., contains the follcwing notice of the death of the mother of Mrs. Goodwill, of this city :

“Mrs. Cooper, of this place, relict of the late Wm. Cooper, died suddenly at the re- sidence of her son, George Cooper; on Friday evening last. Deceased was 75 years cfage. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock, the inter- ment taking place in the Methodist ceme- tery. The Rev. A. D. Mackintosh con- ducted the service at the house and grave. (Rev.)

Lonpoy, March 3

In the House of Commons yesterday Mr. Goschen, presented the navy esti- mates, He said that the proposed increase in naval expenditures was not due to any feeling of alarm. . The Government pro- posed an increase of £850,000 for guns atid docks at Gibraltar. It had decided to build three docks instead of one. The cost of the new works was estimated at £2,500,000, in addition to £361 000 already allotted for the new dock there. Sum- ming up the demands of the Governnent Mr. Goschen said it was proposed to raise the naval works bills from the £8,500,000 proposed by the last Government, to £14,000,000, which would be tbe amount of the Government bill. Continuing, he said that these might seem large figures, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer authorized him to state that the exchequer could supply the money. It proposed to adi tothe navy five battleships like the improved Renown,four first-class cruisers, three sccond-class cruisers, six third-class cruisers and twenty-eight torpedo-boat de- stroyers,
