Tee full teat of the decision arrived st on this subject by the Dominion coverurnent has itow been made public teem which it appears -they have ad- vised His Excellency, the Governor General, not to jntorefore with the ac• tion of the North West Assembly in the matter of education. No one wbo erilltake the trouble of wading through this lengthy document, with all its. ainotetimis; eau f to see the calmness and fair play with which the federal ,government here dealt with a most delicate subject -.ane on which much interest and public feeling has been displayed. We think we can disoern rn this calm and exhaustive throughouta document the master hand of the Premier who has certainly, much to. his credit Thr even-handed justice, dis planed a spirit of unbiassed judgement which marks him out as It worthy suc- cessor of the great chieftain whose aim pias to build up a young nation of all creeds, classes, and nationalities. Vir finally, the decision arrived at by the federal government—and which has received the sanction of the Governor General—declines to interfere with pro- vincial rights, where no injustice is lone to minorities through education- al enactments passed by the local Leg. teed tire. Of Bourse, as might be ex erected, certain French Canadian journ- als' have bitterly attacked the federal authorities, for the stand they have taken going so far as to say they have 'betrayed the interests of the Roman Catholic minority" i;; the North West. Territories. But such attacks will fall innocuous before thebetter judge u ent of sober minded men, who regard justice and fair play and a spirit of toleration as essential elements in the welfare of a nation. It is re assuring to know, from the full text of the fed- eral decision, that the minority in . the Western province were needlessly alarmed as to the effect of the recent ordinances ou the educational interests. of the R. 0 portion of the community— and that the Executive Council of the N. W. Territories may be trusted to correct any adverse influence that might be exerted against separate schools, whether Protestant or Catholic. MR. MEREDITH'S - PLATFORM. In the debate which took place las week in the Ontario Legislature upon the address in reply to the Lieut. Gov ernox's opening speech, the leader of the opposition made one of bis very ablest addresses—in which he outlined.. the political platform intended to be put before the people at the approach- ing. elections. The ground covered by Mr. Meredith embraced the following topics: extravagance on the part of the Mowat i overiithetit; the wasteful' expenditure' of the timber resources; the advocacy of biennial sessions of Legislature, as one great means of economy; a reduction in the number ofilabinet Ministers; and uu ting dif- ferent departments under one. head; ar,.d the development of ruining re- sourees and industries of Ontario. A capital hit was made hi Mr. Meredith's speech ween he told how the Mowat government had,exhihited two sides of the shield upon the temperance ques- tiou -the 'mover of the address declare ing that the government was pledged to prohibition, and the other gentleman 'whit occupies a nearer position to the Cabinet declaring that prohibition was a sham and a farce (site. While the Mowat administration took credit to themselves for having afforded aid to the World's Pair and in d.yeloping• the Fi+dustrial pursuits of Ontario, Mr. Meredith showed that the agricultural etelustry was indebted .not so much to. g•,vernmeut as to.the intelligences hard work, and industry of the great body of the farmers in utilizing the meths at their disposal a• -d availing themselves of the new methods intro- duced and encouraged by the federal authorities. A slashing' epeech, full of facts and. statistics, was brought to a nlese by Mr. Meredith claimingfor his p trty the doctrine of equal rights for all, irrespective of creed, race, or parry, a d special favors and privileges to none. That is the true basis or found. arion on which our eonstitutiens res -s, the practical woiking: out of which is tee only hope of building ti„rap a'ttnirtd a .d` prosperous nation.eWe v p isenture t +,assert that the platform outlined by Mr. Meredith in his noble address is pct which will eo►nm'end itself to every 1 t .•It.etnr, and to every well.

I would like to ask Mr. McLean a few questions through the medium of your valuable paper. 1st—Did. Mr McLean steal this ritu al form which he claims to be copying the obligations and oaths of members? 2nd.—If he did not steal the ritual where is he. deriving his information? 3rd.—Is Mr. ;McLean writing about something he knows nothing of? I did hope that Mr. McLean would not interfere with the P PP. A. but since he. has chosen to denounce the society and spy' in behind the hidden work of the members, I may tell hint that his dirty action will be resented by, more than etre who might. otherwise have supported him. While Mr. 11eLean Inas his hand in let him now publish sortie of—only some of—the obligations and oaths of the Priests, Bishops, Archbishops, Cardirals and Prelates of the Roman Catholic Church.

Swain, Station Master at Winnipeg for the Canadian Taoiflc Railway, is Made a New Man—The Doctor's Failed—Scores of Medicinal Prerar tions Were Tried and Proved Useless—Paine's Celery Compound Works a Wonderful Cure. Mr. G.Swain,the western Station Mas- ter at Winnipeg, is one of the old and. tried officials • of the great Canadian Pacific Railway, He left England in 1853, and settled in Montreal, where he entered the serviceof the Grand Trunk Raitway Co, spending over twenty years of his fife with Canada's pioneer railway co poration. In 1880 Mr. Swain went to the Northwest and set- tled in Winnipeg, where his experience. in railroading secured forh im his I resent position. Mr. Swain, though a titan of extra- ordinary physique and giant strength, was some time ago made as helpless as a child, from the suffcringt and agonies of rheumatisrn,to which terrible diseaoe he had been a slave for fifteen years, After utter failures with doctors and medicines, he was ' induced by Capt. Douglas, the genial proprietor of the 1 eland House, to try Paine's Celery Compound, The trial protect wonder- ful; the results and cure perfect, Mr. Swain, although sixty seven years of age, is now as smart as any man of forty, and can do more work in a day than the majority of younger men. All Ibis rtew life,renewed strength, younger looks, perfect sleep, and good digestive vigor, is the direct. result of using Paine's. Celery com- pound, the great medicine that makes people well. Mr. Swain, in a very recent lector,. says:—"Last winter I was in bed suf- ferutg from rheumatism, Having tried sores of prescriptions from doctors and neighbors, I was at last ihdneed to try your Paine's Celery Compound. I was immediately `relieved++ my pains which, 1 am glad to say,I have not re-' turned sieve. i:iaving been a slave to rheumatism for fifteen years, 1 am now•able'to do as big a day's work .as any man', 1 recommend this wonder- ful reinede to all suffering humanity.' 1 attribute my present condition to a careful' use of ,your Compote d.
