Nothing has been more disappointing' tee•those who advocate real reforni 'lthe management of civil affairs than title course pursued by the Patron tnem• Is of the Ontario Legislature. At a trete when the Mowat government were' lelereasing the public expenditure, and ..secklessly disposing of the timber limits, 'tile Parons came before the conetituene 'ales in seeming gcod faith to inaugur- ate au era of economy aud reform exist abuses in the civil services. They published a platform in which, among ether things, they professed to "give each county power to aproint or elect all county officials paid by them except etuity judges," As this was the con eention of the Conservative opposition, when led by Mr, (now Chi .f Justice) Meredith, the farmers naturally en oug h lent their support to the Patron can. sate, hoping thereby to secure the re - Rims which the Conservatives of On - brio had all along been advocating, Fancy their surprise when, on the first opportunity given to tht., patrons of carrying, into effect their professed principles in the matter of paying civil officials by salary instead of by fees, site Patrons voted solid for Sir Oliver .111avwat in the teeth of their own pub liabed platform—givieg the Ontario Premier a majority of 37, instead of 2 to which he was entitled. And slow, DY31y last week, they repeat their of fence by voting solid (with one single eaception) against a resolution sub mated by Dr Meacham, declaring "that in the opinion of this House the pres- ent mode of appointing Registrars of .deeds and other comity officials is un- eatisfactory, and that the appointment o said officials whose salary is provided n whole or mainly by the counties should not be vested in the Executive hut in the people of rhe locality through. Meir municipal bodies." Thus two Of die chief planks—the fee system, and the appointment of local officials paid by the municipalities—for which the Patrons secured the votes of the people, have been voted down by the very mon who framed a platform to bring about reform in those two ‘particulars. And eibee the fact has now been made pub- lic that, the Patrons brought out their Candidates wherever there was a Con- servative candidate or constituency. while not opposing the candidature of Liberals, we can come to no other con - elusion than that they have schemed to reNt the Conservative vote and strength_ en the hands of the Mowat government. Such insincerity is enough to bring the blush to the cheek of honest men, and will prove a lesson to all true Con- zervatives to know in future for whom alley are voting. THE CABINtirS DEGISIOAr. After the most careful consideration, which a patient hearing was given Tv the Dominion Cabinet to counsel Ter the Roman Catholic minority, in Manitoba and also for the Greeuway overnment, a decision has been reach- ed on the vexed question of the Man- toba schools. Tho full text of decision by the Governor in council was pub- 7:f..shed late last week in which a very etthaustive review is given of the his- tory of the whole Case from the time when Manitoba was admitted into the DoraiDion. From an able review of the legal biarings of the several acts of parliament, or of the Manitoba Legisla- ture—together with the final decision of tile Imperial Privy Council on the right of appeal-- the contention on the part of the R. C. minority is sustained, that their rights aud privileges which were taken away by the provincial Act of 2890 be restored. The sum and sub- erauce of this decision by the Governor leeto the effect that the Roman Catholic minority have "the right to build, maintain, equip, manage. and support their own schools; and by the statues aelsreeaid they have the right to a pro- portionate share of any grant made out of the public funds for the purposes of education, and the right of exemption to contribute to the support of any other schools." Tte last decision of the Imperial Privy Council, in Which the whole subject was relegated to the Dominion Governor in Council, is very expresses to the legal and comitiution- a/ right of either a Protestant or R. C. minority in any Proviace to appeal to the Gevernal General in Council; and Wavle Lordsisips declared explicitly that Mere was a grievance in the present ane', that the appeal of the R. C. raltiotity was well founded, and that the Privy Connell of the Dominion had luriedietion to peovide remedial lois. 2o/inf. Ws Excellency the Governor aoberal has therefore alcorninended. that the edueational acts passed by the es, • '',-• ""-se- -sate • • ,essaseete' .^ • • tt,•••loo. Menitoba, Legislature be so far amend- ed as to restore to the IL C. min- ority the same rights and privtleges accorded to them in 1870, and which they enjoyed up to the time of passing the Manitoba School act of 1390. The whole ease, with the full text of the decision arrived at by the Governor General in autumn, has been transmit- ted to GovernorSchultz to be laid before his advisers—to take such action as shall effect the end desired. Should they decline to interfere, then it will devolve upon the Dominion Par- liament to adopt remedial legislation. For this purpose the last official Gazette announces a session of Parliament to be held on the 18th of April. 1Vlean ti me as the Manitoba Legislature is still in session, an opportunity will bo afforded them of dealing with the school caso. withont referring it back to Ottawa. What have the Patrons done to"Don" of Saturday Night, which makes him say this:—"Without doubt the Patrons have been the wooliest grangers ever brought into this town. They were captured aud Wooled before they got their shoes and stockings off the first night. It is very probable, indeed, that Father Mowat knew where they were before they got here. It is pain ful to thiuk how the people on the con cession lines and crossroads will regard the manner in which they have been buncoed. All that now remains is fcr somebody to blow out the nas on the whole crowd. A coroner's inquest would not then be necessary, for men who have been such flats while alive are not worth the expense of an in quest after they are dead." A Tobacco Company's Generosity The George E. Tuekett & Sons To been Co., Ltd. of Hamilton, nine years ago instituted the commendable idea of resenting a deed of a building lot each Christmas to their older active employee This year it was the good fortune of Mr. Thomas Milligan tn suc- ceed to the firms generosity, he having been with them for 21 years. In ad- dition to the lot he received a substan- tial cheque from the same source. The whole staff of the concern also came in for a gift, the day hands receiving an extra week's salary and the piece hen& a good sized turkey. Some time ago the Messrs. Tuckett turned their fan. tory into a joint stock company, ad mitting many of the more important employees into partnership, and this additional evidence of a desire to sharp with their men the prosperity of the house can uot help but bear fruit in in- creased energy and good will among all who are fortunate enough to be connected with this enterprising con- cern, Patrons Meeting in Crediton. --- There was a large attendance at the Patron meeting on tile 21st inst. A large amount of business was brought before the Association and disposed of Patron Candidate, William Brock, who was expected to be present, has since explained that he attempted to come and found it impossible co come through and had therefore to return home ow- ing to the terrible condition of the roads and the long distance he had to come.

Toronto, March 26.—In the police court yesterday morning the diamond swindler, who was arrested by Detective Siouan at St. Marys, was arraigned on the charge of receiving a quantity of diamonds from the Erin of P. W. Ellis & Co. by fraud end under false pretences. He was in- dicted under the names of Bluth, alias Jackson, alias Miller, alias Coleman, alias Hutton, and in answer to a question from the Colonel as to which name he Would rather have, be said Hutton. The prisoner's counsel at this• moment came into court,•and the prisoner asked for a chance to consult with him before plead- ing or electing. The ease was then ad- journed until Thursday next by consent of both parties. Mr. Johnson said that there was 10.57 ou the prisoner wheu he was arrested, and, as the wife and children were here penni- less, and he had. no money for his de- fence, the lawyer asked that this suin be handed over to the prisoner. Tho crown objected to this course, producing a notice from a number of chiefs of police in southern cities, asking for his arrest, and specifying the number of crimes. Col. Denison deoicled,however,that half of this sum be handed over to Mr. Johnston,the prisoner consenting to this being done. Tho photograph attached to the com- munication from the chiefs of police of Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, and Savannah leaves no doubt as to the identity of the man in custody. Tho circular states he has operated in different parts of the southern country, and is a fugitive from justice for similar offences committed in Tuskahoma,Indian Territory, arid Wael- der, Texas. Among the goods specified are nineteen diamond rings, three vest chains, four gold watches, three diamond ear rings, three gold lookets, and numer- ous other articles of diamond jewellery. Hamilton Was Too Slow, Hamilton, March 26.—An exceedingly bitter feeling prevails here over the jewel- lery swindle which: was unearthed on Sa- turday and the failure of the Hamilton police to land the prisoner here. Hamil- ton had the information four honrs before Toronto, and had 40 miles less to travel, but the Toronto detectives were active while the Hamilton chief and detective inspector were waiting for some ono else to act. The result was that the Toronto detective got the big game after the Ham- ilton jewellers had worked up a sure case. The recent changes in the police depart- ment here have resulted apparently in want of confidence among the detectives, for not ono of the old detectives knew What the chief and the new detective in- spector were doing in the case. WYCLIFFE COLLEGE. Archbishop Lewis Disagrees with a Great Deal of Its Teaching. Kingston, March 26.—Yesterday being the thirty-third anniversary of the conse- cration of Archbishop Lewis as bishop, he was presented with an address signed by the clergy of the Diocese of Ontario. In the address reference was made to the Wycliffe College difficulty. His Grace in his reply said: "It may be well to make plain to you my attitude towards Wycliffe College. Up to the present time I have never made any public statement on the subject, nor exhibited the least hostility to the college, though I never viewed its establishment with favor. Ever since I could reason on such subjects I disliked the multiplication of small theological seminaries. I believe that they beget narrowness, which ends in bigotry. This is inevitable when young men of a cer- tain theological stripe aro hived together iu order to be moulded to order by pro- fessors as narrow as themselves. The policy of the fret bishops of Canada, like Bishops Mountain and Strachan, was to conseentrate the strength of the church on the establishment of ono or two great universities whore theological students should be educated in the same buildings with students of arts, as in the great uni- versities in England. and Ireland. 1 have been identified with Trinity College from the day of its foundation, I know its full history, I have fought its battles,- and by virtue of seniority of consecration am now the chairman of its corporation. Is it not, then, too much to ask of even archiepiscopal good nature that I should view with equal esteem and favor a col- lege intended to spring into popularity out of the ruins of Trinity College? But this is not the only ground for my dis- like to Wycliffe College. I seriously ob- ject to some of the text books used there, notably, and as a specimen, Hatch's Hampton Lectures, a book characterized by my dear friend the late Bishop of Lin- coln in my hearing as a gross perversion of the objects sought to bo attained by the founder of these lectures, the Rev. John Hampton. I also object to it as an authorized book of reference for candi- datos for holy orders, Further, I dis- agree with a great deal of the theological teaching given in Wycliffe College. I give as an illustration the following pas- sages taken from the °slender of the col- lege. Among the distinctive principles of this college is an historic.. episcopacy traceable to apostolic direction as con- ducive to the well-being, but not neces- sary to the being of the church? This I believe to be a fiction without a parti- cle of support from the New Testament, primitive antiquity, or the Book of Com- mon Prayer." • ON THEIR WAY TO OTTAWA. Newfoundland IS /1/31CS the Delegates Who Will Discuss Federation With Canada. Si. John's, Nild.,March26.—The minis- terial delegation to Ottawa to discuss with the Canadian Government the terms of confederation was appointed by the Government yesterday. Robert, Bond, George H. Emerson, Q, 0;; Edward P Morris and William H. Harwood were the delegates narned. They are thorough- ly representative of all classes and creeds and have the confidence of the country. They leave here to -night by steamer. Trade is reviving here and the prospects are good for an average seal fishery, Sir William Whiteway IS still seriously ill, but his physicians are hopeful of his recovery. INHUMAN PARENTS. Henderson and His Wife Sent to Jail for III -Treating Their Child. Hepworth, March 26.—Tho trial of L. W. Henderson and Wife was concluded yesterday. The Magistrate, in passing sentence, addressed the prisoners in most scathing terms, pointing out the inhuman treatment they had been administering to the child they should have protected, and as' no extenuating oirciiinstanceet could be brought forward to justify them in their brutality they were eaeh sen- tenced to pay a fine of 850 and costs and, serve three months in the column jail. The prisoner% were taken to Walkeitein on the afternoon train, • ITHic\littEMIDIAI., ORDER! It Will be Taken Up in the Manitoba Legislature, To -Morrow. GREAT INDIGNATION AROUSED The Feeling Between Homan Catholics and Protestants Becoming More Illitter—The Legislature Ex- pected to Refuse the Order. Winnipeg, Man.., Maroh 28.—The order of the Dominion Government command- ing the Manitoba Legislature to pass laws granting Manitoba Catholics separate sohools has reached here. Owing to formalities in copying the school question order, it is probable the discussion will not came up in the Legis- lator° until Wednesday. The remedial order from the Ottawa Government makes a demand upon the Manitoba Govern- ment to abolish the clauses of the educa- tional Act doing away with the Separate schools. Tho ministers say this will never be done, and they say they are prepared to set the Ottawa order at defiance. In ell the city Methodist churches on 'Sunday, sermons wore delivered protest- ing against Dominion interference with Manitoba in the matter of schools. The fight between Protestants and Catholics is becoming more bitter, the province is overwhelmingly in favor of national sohools against separate and the order by the Dominion Government has created much indignation. Tho Legislature will undoutedly reject the Dominion Govern- ment's order. The following from a pro- vincial paper evidences the feeling against any interference: • " The Dominion Government, after weary weeks of squirming and. twisting, has at length passed an order command- ing the Legislature to restore Separate schools to the Roman Catholic minority in Manitoba. This act is a deliberate sur- render to the demands of the Ronian Ca- tholic minority in Manitoba, a deliberate surrender to the demands of the Roman Catholic priesthood of Quebec. It is an- other proof, were any such needed, that Canada lies prostrate under the feet of a foreign, a Roman ecclesiastic. It is an- other proof that our rulers are recreant to the duties they owe the people and trai- tors to their Queen, and are ever ready as the price a place and power to sell them- selves and the liberties of the free-born hens of Canada to the Pope of Roine ai d his unscrupulous devotees in Canada. The question of Separate schools is dwarf- ed by the issue now raised. We are not called upon to determine whether or not the French Roman Catholics of Quebec, the men who were conquered by Wolfe and his British soldiers on the plains of Abraham; shall rule and control the citi- zens of Manitoba and arrogantly assume the right to control the destinies of Can- ada. Since they were conquered by a too liberal foe they have taken advantage of the generous terms given .them by their oonquerers, and not satisfied by the run- ning of their own province and the driv- ing of hundreds of thousands of its best citizens to a forign land, they now ex- tend their demands, and nothing less will satisfy them than the control of the des- tinies of other provinces and bring the whole DoMinion into the slavery of Rome, The gauntlet thus thrown down is prompt- ly taken up and let the contest between Romish slavery and freedom and equal rights go on until every vestige of special privilege and the grinding slavery to a state church be driven out of every prov- ince in the Dominion and the time -serv- ing caitiffs now ruling in Ottawa sell their souls for prelatical patronage bo driven back to the obscurity from which they ought never to have emerged." The Voice or the Pulpits. The excitement is intense. In the churches preachers confine their remarks to the impending struggles. The Protes- tant churches aro urging Protestants to stand firm against the order,the Catholic clergy appealing to their flocks to never give up the fight. Montreal, March 26.—In the course of his sermon in St. Andrew's church, the Rev. J. Edgar Hill said with reference to the condition of affairs in Manitoba: "If the minority have a grievance,and the majority refuse to redress that grievance, ultimately it will be worse for the pre- sent majority than for the minority, who ask to be relieved." Ottawa, March 26.—In referring to the Manitoba school question in the Congre gational church, Rev. Mr. izointosh said he hopocl.that nothing would be dene to retard in any way the educational pro- gress of the young province. All common schools, he said, should be entirely un - denominational, in a mixed community all religious forms should be excluded, even to the excluding of the Bible from the public schools, leaving religious in- strucsiou to the several denominations. THE PEACE CONFERENCE. China Yields Up Shanhalkwan and Some Other Unoccupied Points, London, March 26.—The Tokio corre- spondent of the Central News telegraphs that Li Hung Chang's condition is Pro- gressing favorably. The assassin's bullet penetrated the bone ono -third of an inch, but the injury, the surgeons say, is not serious. The parleying in regard to armistice continues. Japan demands Shanhaik- wan and other unoccupied points and these demands have been yielded. The Japanese forces succeeded in taking the Pescadoro Islands on March 24. The troops wore landed and attacked the forts itt the rear, where they were undefended, and carried them by assault. CANADIAN COPYRIGHT. 'The Secret Lry of the Society of Authors Be- littles the Canadian Market. London, March 26.—Mr. Conway, chair- man of the -committee of the Society of Authors; will have in the Times to -day a riSply to Mr. Lancefield's recent defence of Canadian copyrights. , After reproduc- ing some of his former arguments, he says: "It will pay to undergo material expense to s,lcurethe United States mar- ket but a much smaller expense to secure the Canadian market would not pay. Canada's retrograde action threatens to postpone indefinitely the only sound argument, namely, a universal copyright folloiving single publication anywhere." 0 medians Croolsing the Border.

They had gone to the driving shed ofthe Baptist church, on Sunday evening, and also to those of the Commercial, and gathered in nearly all the whips they could lay their hands upon; most of which have since been returned to their owners. The boys are quite small, but are pret- ty bad, and it was thought that a few hours' imprisounient would do them good.
