OUR FARMERS’ PROBLEM. itté interest and activity displayed by Lieutenaut—Governor Howlan in respect to our schools, our orchards and farms, etc., are commending him to all classes of our community. Itis encouraging to have the sympathy and support of those who are in high office and position. The Lieut.. Governor shows by his conduct in office that he desires to be useful to the people, rather than an ornamental appendage of ‘he Government whose chief duty is to draw the gubernatorial salary. His view of the situation——as outlined in the ad- dresses delivered before our lairy com We have here a great Million Acre Farn., par panies —is eminently reasonable ually run out by over-cropping in the past and partially uncultive.ed or poorly culti vated ; and the farmers are eugaged ip a fierce competition with active men who have gone in to make the most they can out of the great fertile prairies of the Wesi?

NOTES AND COMMENTS. —Montreal Gazette: Free trade as they have it in England and reciprocity as they like it at Washington was Jaid down by Mr. Laurier yesterday as the tariff policy of the Liberals. It isa great drawback to Mr. Laurier’s success that only Cana- dians can vote at Canadian elections. The foreigner who would cast a ballot against him would be a base ingrate. ~ When the knight of the d ouble-faced shield began, a few days ago, to take part in the public meetings of the Liberal party in Ontario, it was supposed that Richard was himself again. But it appears that he was so coldly received, and fuund himself so much at variance with inflaen- tial men in his party, that he has gone home feeling like a bear with a sore head. —According to the Montreal Witness, ‘the Mowat Government has, without resorting to unfair means, held power for twenty-five years.” This statement is a characteristivally reckless one. Sir Oliver became Premier on Octcber 3lst, 1872, and has, therefore, been at the head of af- fairs for nearly twenty-three yer. In view of the fact that one of his ministers was only a few weeks ago unseated for corruption by agents, the phrase “without resorting to unfair means” seems somewhat out of place. It was John Wesley who said: “Coa- demn no man for not thinking as yeu think. Let every one enjoy the full and tree liberty of thinking for himeelf. Let every man use bis own judgment, since every man must give an account of him- selfto God. Abhor every approach, in any kind or degree, to the spirit of per- secution. If you cannot reason or per- suade a man intothe truth, never at- tempt to force a man into it. Iflove will compel him to come, leave him to God the judge of all.” —The Canadian Gazette mentions that last. year Canada exported to England £82,841 worth of wood pulp. This ie a new feature in the trade with Great Britain, and one that is likely to grow. Sweden and Norway send annually to Britain over a million pounds worth of this article, which almost daily is being adapted to new uses, and the demand for which annually grows greater. Canada posserses one of tne largest supplies of raw material for making this article to be found in the world, and countries which need it wil! have to come here for it. We regret that our correspondent * Inquirer” remains unsatisfied, though it has been made clear that Toe Exam - rveR had no reference whatever to the educational institutions outside of those under Government contro]. Only as the head of the Government shoo] system did we speak of Prince of Wales College as the leading ¢ducational institution of the Province. We were dealing with a matter affecting particu'arly the Prince of Wales College and Premier Peters; and not one reader in a thousand would, we venture to eay, have inferred that we desired to in- sinuate an invidioua comparison between Prince of Wales College and -t. Danstan’s or Notre Dame Convent, or any institution outside of those under Government con- trol. —TIn the current number of The Week the following information is given the citizens of Toronto, and it is to be hoped that citizens of other towns will carefully consider it: “Tue good people of Toronto are getting the government they deserve. For years the aldermen elected to the Council have been of a most shady de- scription.

The rest of the stolen goods were put in McDougall’s barn, at Hill River, about three miles from Alber- ton The constables went with George McDouga'l this morning to Dock Church, and removed the goods, When questioned by the Magistrate Henry McDougall said he had * nothing to say.” Ernest Forsyth said he was “not guilty.” Henry Mc- Dougall is about thirty years of age, Gew. McDougall about twenty-one, ani Ernest For-yth twenty-four. Credit is due to Constables Burke and Gillion for their success in arresting the prisoners. The principal credit is, however, dune to R. B. Reid, Exq., as be put the constables on the track of the prisoners. The prisoners were committed to Summerside jail to stand their trial at the next sitting of the Supreme Court at that place. Le aaEEEEREREEAIREEEEEaEenae LETTERS T0 THE EDITOR. “INQUIRE” AGAIN, Sir,—I requested you to state your rea- sons for holding that the P. W. C. is the leading educational institution in the Pro- vince. Your reply was, “In view of the undoubted fact that Prince of Wales Col- lege is at the heal of the Government schools.” Your statement is, as you say, “short, simple and clear.” It means that any school that is nota ‘Government’ institution cannot be classed as the “lead- ing educational insitation?” I koow that you, wijta Laurier-like duplicity, en- deavor to befogg the meaning by making a distinction befween ‘public’ and ‘Gov- ernment schools, but the plain, obvious meaning of what you say is the interpreta- tion that I heve given above. In view of this fact, I again request you to “give a reason for the faith that is in you,” and oblige Inquirer. >t FALSE REP > ; Sin,—Your report of the (ity Coudcil meeting, in so far as it refers‘to Councill:-r Tanton on the Park Roadway, must surely be incorrect. Both the Patriot and Guard- ian had reports of that meeting. Neither of them makeany no:e whatever of Coun cillor Tanton’s speech, and it is impossible (?) that those papers are dishing ou’ to their readers a biased one-sided report. Or if possible! Well, well! It is the enlight enment of the age.

The Republicans have been badly beaten in the Indianapolis municipal election, be- cause their mayoralty candidate yoted against Harrison in the presidential cont -st of 1892. The Indiana Republicans appear to be adepts in the art of cutting oft their noses to spite their faces. In all likelihood, as a result of this election, Harri+on’s men may be defeated in the presidential! contest of 1896. init realonte The press despatch vent out Saturday, stating thata commission to investigate the condition of Manitoba schools had been decided on, and that parliament will meet in December, is a fabrication. The date of the meeting of parliament cannot be fixed until the Manituba Governurent’s answer is received, or the answer unduly delayed. There will, moreover, be no commission, as there is nothing to investigate, the courts bave decide that Manitoba Catholics have been unjustly deprived of certain educa- tional rights. It the province agrees to re- store these right», even with modifications and guarantees for efficient education, that willend the matter.
