The memoranda of the settlement will he found in another col- umn. Within two days. of its publicity comes protests from all parts of Canada. Some say that the fight has only began. But from so many sources protests come that we can Only conclude that the question is only settled as between Laurier and Greenway and that there will be vigorous kicking in the near uture. What will be the final out come no one can foresee, but the ques- tion will be debated in, the Manitoba Legislature and the Dominion Parli- ment more then one session. THE TARIFF ENQUIRY The Ministerial Tariff Commission set out to obtain information touching the tariff, and they are getting it astlrapid- ly as the business men of Toronto can talk. To put it concisely, each industry appears to be in favor of a reduction of the duties on its raw materials and against any lowering of the duty on its finished product. If the new Govern- ment will kindly frame a tariff bring- ing about this result in every case, de- spite the fact that the finished product of one indust:, is often the raw mater- ial of another; and will also lower taxa- tion and continue to raise the revenue; and will likewise eliminate all "incon- sistencies!' and will moreover go in for free trade without disturbing protection. they may please all hands, including the culinary artist. The "inconsistencies" of the tariff have been pointed out before, and should certainly be cleared off in any revision of the schedules. One of the first things noticed on the service of the Toronto enquiry is the frequency with which these "inconsistencies" occur. The tariff no matter on what principal it be framed, ought to be a just one, dealing in an even-handed manner with all the enterprises of the country. RELIGION LV SCHOOLS The Manitoba School question has os- tensibly been settled on the basis of general religious instruction, that is, that any, parson of any religious de- nomination can claim to be heard by a portion of the children at times during the half-hour devoted to religious in- struction by the published settlement. In this connection we notice that the English Church Syi:ed has sent a depu- tation, who interviewed the Ontario Government requesting increased relig- ious instruction in the Schools of Onta- rio, We notice that a great deal of the trouble in governing Ontario, Manito ba, or any of the provinces, or now the Dominion itself arises in this question of:religion in schools, It has been a bitter question in Ontario politics. So in Prince Edward, Nova Scotia, Quebec, New Brunswick,and laterly in Manitoba and British Columbia—now it has be- come a Dominion question. More heart-burnings, fanaticism and intolerance have been developed by this question than any other that ever came doubt the validity of any or either,. That is a detriment to Christianity. Giving religious instruction to so many sects perils the state and that is a det- ritnent to the state. Complete ; sepera- tion appears to bet heonly solution, Around, About Us, Blanshard: Miss K. Ferguson has been re engaged in her old school, 4th line. Woodham: N. Doupe will continue his work, in S. S. No. k', for the coming year, Clinton: Mr. Wm.

More Curative I?ewer Is contained in a bottle of Hood's Sar- saparilla than in any other similar pre- paration. It costs the proprietor and manufacturer more. It costs the job ger more and it is worth more to the consumer.. It has a record of cures un- known to any other preparation. It is the best to buy because it is the One True Blood Purifier.

He was kicked in the fleshy part of the leg above the knee by a horse and was laid up for a few days, into prominence o c in the lit' p politics of Can- P L ada. It seems only reasonable to think that when so many sects conflict it might lead to a more peaceable solo- bion of the difficulty to simply say to h each and all—"Dispense with religion in the public school altogether." Every religionist is honest and wants his hon- est opinions spread amongst the youth who have no opinions. But where 40 or 50 different sects exist it is impossi- ble for any government to give them all privileges ar cl at the same time give the pupil a good, sound, secular education. Under these circumstances would it not be better to leave the churches to control religion and the state control secular educatidn. The churches should be able to corn. pletely control the religious education of the masses. Let , the state control the secular education, Completely sop - crate the duties of the church and the state. They have no common interest, One purposes to deal with the things that are; the other, with things to come. No hope of peace comes only by com- plete seperation. History repeats the same lesson. Ordinary people get weary of the continual warfare. All things considered it seems that the only feasible solution of the chronic trouble is in secular schools and leave the churches in their own field. Both religion and the state would profit thereby. In the chronic battle of the sects common people are apt to SAD UUMPLA(NTS, Ladies Must Protect Themselves, Several ladies have recently, written to the manufacturers of Diamond Dyes complaintag of having received very worthless dyes from certain dealers (whose names are known) instead of the Diamond Dyes that were asked for. The maaufact?_lrers of Diamond Dyes, while they deplore this unwise and dis- honest practice of substituting, cannot give any greater protection to the public than they are now r afforded in the way of warnings through the col urns of e e press. All buyers of dyes who ask for the Diamond Dyes should look for the name on the outer envelope. If the name " Diamond " is not seen, rest as- sured you are being offered some miser- able imitation. Diamond Dyes are the only perfect dyes in the world for home dyeing. The best druggists and dealers sell them, No Gripe When you take Hood's Pills.

Cromarty: Our village was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Wednes day. at the residence of Mr. Malcolm Lamont, it being the marriage of his daughter, Miss Katie, to Mr, John Hog garth, also of this place.
