; H NOVEMBER 9, 1885. | Editorial Notes. —The New York Tribune declares} that 300,000 men are out of employment | in the United States ; and still our young | men will go there ! —The Imperial Government has de-| cided to send Matthew Arvold to! France and Germany to inquire into the system of free schools. They ought to have sent him out to Canada. —The London Tablet of last Satur- day contained an unsigned article by Cardinal Manning, in which he says he is convinced that no system of popular education which does not provide for full liberty of conscience, can adopt it- self to che kiogdom. The fact that England is deuominatioual cannot, he declares, be masked or ignored, much less suppressed by force or fraud. —The New York Herald's special cor- 7 . . j respondent in Canada to write up the Riel business says: ‘The fact remains that nineteen-twen- tieths of the people of Canada regard the arrest of Riel, the crank, as an absurdity, the trial of Riel, the enthusiast, a bur- lesqne ; the conviction of Riel, the half- breed, by a jury of English-Canadians, a forezone concivsion ; the sentence to death of Riel, the semi-demented, an infamy which, if carried out, will make Riel a martyr, a power thenceforth in the Domin- ion before which Macdonald and his hench- men will quail and run to Coventry.” It is a safe assertion, says the Mon- treal Herald, that ‘* nipeteen-twentieths of the people of Canada,” if they were to judge the New York Herald’s cor- respondent by such statements as these, would say he was a greater crank than Riel himself, THE _ The Daily Examiner oars ine pooo's ihenatted ie| TEL FERAPHIC NEWS. and did so, He wrote down a copy of my! “ blessing and asked me would | signit.

Mr. Matthews, a Sioux Indian, has been lecturing in Minneapolis on the In- dian problem, giving his views of the past relations of the Government to the tribes and the best means of bringing them into line with the civilization that now on every side surrounds them.

Butthere is no other. Indeed, the question whether or not the men ip the cart were, or seemed to be, in liquor, was never once asked of any witness. Had it been asked, a train of evidence might have been followed up which might have been disagreeable to some persons who sell liquors agaiust the law. —Mr. Jobn Bennet, a candidate for the British Commons in the Liberal in- terest, has given the following points in his confession of faith as to the measures which he will help to carry into legisla- tion if he is elected : — 1. Simplification of procedure in the House so as to over-ride factious obstruc- tion. 2. Reform of the House of Lords. 3. Registered manhood suffrage. 4. Establishment of the right of affirma- tion in all cases. 5. Disestablishment and of the State Churches. 6. Abolition of primogeniture, entail, and settlements; cheap, and easy transfer of land ; multiplication of small holdings. 7. Free education in the Board Schools. 8 Triennial elections. 9. Local self-government for London and the country. 10. Bold and just treatment of Ireland. 11. No war without the consent of the House of Commons. 12. Closer union between all the commu- nities of the English race. disendowment —Katharine B.

Mavy times has the writer, when urging upon girls the broad culture which language and literature give, been met with the reply: ‘ I shall not need that for a teacher’s examination’; and, on the other hand, when advocating the study of more technical branches, or the extension of a short school course, has had the answer: ‘I don’t see of what use it would be to me to learn anything more; I don't intend to teach school.’ ” —Bishop Grandin, while in Ottawa, said to a reporter who interviewed him: ‘“‘T will tell you an incident that shows that he had all his plans well laid for car- rying out his ideas. One day there was a large gathering of people, and he spoke to me about the half-breeds, how they were so badly used and that the Government would do nothing for them, that they had no schools and wanted to baild up a Metis nation.
