Riot hu again been elected Yor the
county of Provencher In Manitoba,
beating hie opponent by a very large
majority. ft the French half breeds of
that county wish to disfraachise them-
selves by electing a murderer who can-
not take his meet, they have a perfect
right to do so, but had Sir John A.
Macdonald not acted vith such duplicity
in this =Atter all troutda might have
been avoided. Some of the French
Canadian papers have again taken up
the cause of theautlaw warmly, and de-
mand that the promised eminesty be
granted. La Minerre declares that a
few days previous to the resignation of
Sir John it iras decided at a Conserva-
tive caucus to grant the amnesty, that
decision being forced on by a threat of
Mr. Langern to leave the goveranient
if it waa refused. Wel has publisheid in

tire, a memoir of the Red River rebel-

"fact thet the fanatical hfackenzie and
"his comps!) y raised ebe prejudices of

"murderers f.f Scott." The document
is of value in that it shows that Sir
John promised the amnesty, end that it
would have been proclaimed on the ar-
rival of Governor Archibald at Fort
Garry, but for the opposition of Mr.
Maelsenzie and the Reformeri of On-
tario. The Premier instead of being in
favour of granting a pardon to Riel, as
falsely represented by the charter sellers;
is looked, upon by that individual as base
ing prevented its being granted long
ago. ,If the Imperial an thorities deeide

Then ts at present a bill before the
Qatari', Legislature to modify and im-
prove the Schbol Law in gems respects.
It propose* to remodel the Cut net of
Public Instruction by adding three
members, sleeted by the Public School
Inspectors, the Teachers of the /nib
ichools and theTeadhers of the Public
and Separate Schools, respectivelo. The
law for enforcing compulsory attend-
ance at wheel is strengthed by the
impoeition of a rate pf one dollar a
tnc,nth on -all parents neglecting to give
their children the benefit of the educe-
tiefial advantages afforded them by our
iehool lew. The Book Depositary sys-
iem at Toronto, is .er far liberalized aa
to alln,w trustees and teachers to pur-
chase prize books from booksellersander
certain restrictions, _the 10Ct poi cent
heretofore allowed lty the depositary
being paid them in cash. This is a seep
in the right direction. The book de-
positary however good it may have been
at the time it was estithlished, has
ceased to fill the useful position it ones
did, and has become to a great extant a
monopoly, injurious to the general book
trade. We tire gliti to see a. change

The define of the Gladstone Ministry
at the polls: though not so complete ao
that of Sir John Meedonald, is far more
surprising and venally suggestive. ;Net
minister of the present century in Eng-
land has accomplished iltearly as much as
611i/stone hao'done duiiiim the last five
years. He his abOlished au established
church, revolutiimizedthe land laws of
a Kingdom, given a school law to both
parts of Great Britain, reduced taxatiop,
paid off debt, carried on wars out of the
revenue, introduced the principle of ar-
bitration for the settlement of interna-
tia.nal disputes, and given the poor and
dependent both the protection and se-
cunty of the ballot. Yet no minister
who came into power with such a ma-
jority as Gladstone had, five years ago,
has lost support more- rapidly or has had
his triumph so speedily turned into
humiliating defeat. He hair aharmed the
timid and comfortable with fears of revo-
lution, while he has disgusted. or at least
disheartened the .dissenters -the
eanced guard of liberalismaowho have
alweys been his most *Demotic end en-
thusiaitic suppefters, and have now
come to look upon hi n with (hermit, if
not alienation. It still all come right in
due 'tame. The aeparent recession is
but the recoil of the wave in an advanc-
ing tide which will SilOn tOUCh a lugher
point than it.has ever yet reached. The
established churches of Britain must go,
and so Must the absurd and oppressive
land laws. A better preparative fur the
accomplishment of these great works
could not he tholight of, than having s,
professed or real Conservative Govern-
ment, doing aocording to its instincts,
or scconling to -thee pressure from with -
Mit which it will not ack-now ledge and at
the same time cannot resist. The so-
called re -action will land Mr. Disraelt in
measures far more liberal than even he
ever dreamed of, or it will land him
hopelessly high and dry on a rugged
shore, far f Tom the safe harbour for
whi•ch he may be anxious to after.

Of this $4,394,534.62 was invested or at

ing the month of January the further
sem of $560,000 was deposited, so that
the present moment the investments and

$5-,000,00Q: Out of this the payments

During the last few weeks a reniarka-
ble temperance crusade has been 'going
en in Southern Ohio, and it is gradually
extending to other places., The women,
moved apOarently by a sudden impulse,
have undertaken to suppress the liging
traffic. Failing to influence the liquor
dealers by moral suasion to abandon the
traffic, they invade the saloons, hold
prayer meetings in them and sing tem-
perance hymns. They keep up these
demonstrations till the clealer is led to
"surrender," or. till his place is desertee
because people are ashamed to enter a.
lf the saloon -keeper has intimation of
the coming of' these moral reformers and
locks hitt doers and entrenches himself
against them, they build a booth outside
and hold their meetings there. -The
meetings are kept up all day mut even
ing by relays of women, and those who
hay* undertaken the work seem to be
terribly in earnest: In- -some places
business of all kinds is entirely suspend-
ed. the schools closed and the work pro-
secuted most vigorously. Hundreds
have been induced. to sign the plelge,
awl in one town, out uf twenty-three
saloon -keepers, sixteen have given up
their business and become temperance
men. Of coune the action of these
women is illegal, but where the authori-
ties have been appealed to they have
declined to interfere, no doubt believing
that the end justifies the means.
Doubtless much good is being accom-
plished iu the mean time, but we doubt
if the benefit will be very lasting. Till
public opinion is educated to such •
point as to consider the liquor traffic de
grading and demoralizing, and till the
nuassitere brought to seethe evil effects
of dram drinking, any spasmodic effort
such as that going on in Ohio, will ac-
complish very little permanent good.
