THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1890, English capital getting possession of Keeica.n railways is not wonder fill, seeing that the same capital is gobbling up American money- making institutions, When people want to make themselves sate they invest in English ventures. Eng- land is the home of capital. All the potentates of Europe for some nerations have been inveeting e- a money in English hands, be- oause la. d had the most suable Qt alt gov 'eetauients Broad-based upon the people's will And serromaled by tho inviolate sea.' In America we have seen this capi• tal buyieg tip all sorts of businesses of late, .and no man can tell in the U ei'ed States whet are the m fluences that control their greatest enterprises. The failures in i889 numbered /0,882 in the United States, or one in every 97 firms; and 1777 in Canada or one in every 45 firms In 1888 the failures were 10,679 in the TJnited Stares and 1667 in Can ada. The aggregate of was $143,784,337 ill the United States, against $123,829,973 in 1888, and $14,713,223 in Canada, against $14,o81,169. But the av- erage of liabilities for each firm faillng was lower in Canada, 68279 as -t- year against $8396 in 1888, end the increase ie the United States, if an unfavorable indication was still not enough to denote an unhealthy state of commercial credits, for the average in 1889 was but $e3,672, against $1t,592 in 1882, $17,392 in 1887, and 20,632 in I884.. The failures during the last Feven days number for the -United States 291, and tor Canada 31, or a total of 322, against 288 last week and 342 the week pre- vious to the last. For the corres- ponding week of last year the figures were 387, representing 350 in the United States and 28 in Canada. A tax of $500 a year is imposed on retail liquor sellers in Pennsyl- vania, Michigan, Illinois, Minneso- ta. Nebraska, Missouri, Mississippi Arkansas, Dakota, Montana and Washington. In each of these states and territories the system has been a complete success. It was shown on a recent occasion when this question was up for dis- cussion that in Philadelphia a com- parative view of commitments to the county prison and house of correction shows a decrease of over sixty per cent. since the high tax was instituted. In Michigan the number of saloons was reduced from 6444to 3461. In Springfield, Illinois, thirty-three per cent. of the dram shops were closed, and the revenue increased from $15,700 to $52,000. In Minnesota there were in August last 1597 saloons, against 2806 before -the passage of the law. Of the Nebraska statute Chief Justice Reese, of the Su- preme Court of the State, says :-- "Our present high license law is as nearly perfect as such a law could well be made." His associate, Judge Cobb, writes produces revenue, tends to confine the sale to worthy and esteemed dealers, abolishes degrading resorts, pro- hibits drunkenness, produce e tem- perance, and superinduces total abstinence." Again the Nihilist terror has spread consternation in the family of the Czar of Russia. The reports just published show a darker phase of the conspiracy than ever and, coming immediately after the news of the wholesale slaughter of Sibe. rian exiles, indicate a spirit of re- taliation. A trustworthy authority not long ago stated that there was hardly any family of prominence in Russia that was not mourning the death or exile of one or more of its members for political offences. The unhappy Czar, however, is himself a creature of the system, which is, perhaps, the worst that ever was inYOlVed. At the base of this sys, tem is the commune, frorn .which refeNeee army is regularly drafted. Su- perimposed on these is an officia1. ism the most corrupt in the world. Yet it dominates every action of the people's lives and pries into the roost sacred affairs of domestic lire, over ?,2.11 is tbe *Tzar clothed with irrespb ntible 4vovvery yet restrain ed rid restricted ,ofx ell sides by this me officialism working through ridicial arrangern2nL (instruct - o petit:et oonternpt of the first lilies of justt,-..e, Through all • 1 runs the secret poison of Nihilism whieh, in its turn, destroys all con ficience, makes everyene Wave of fear, from the Emperor dawn. A uore miserable state of affairs could not be imagined. The complalut that the people take little or no interest in the sel- ection of Trustees for the Public Scho'lls is an old one and well gronudett. From a financial stand. pcg t the matter is very important. The people of Ontario spend a great sum of money npon their public sehools. In the last year for which we have a report, they spend $2. 58,540 for teachers' salaries ; 544,520 for school buildings; $227 509 for maps and other appar- atus ; $7,534 for rent, repairs, etc.; or a total expenditure �t $3, 742,104, This expenditure is al- most entirely under the control of the truetees, the choice of whom is tezarded as of so little importance. This apathy is the more surprising because by far the greater part of the money oomes out ot the pockeus of the people in the most direct way. The receipts for school pur poses in 1887. amounted to $4,331,_ 357. Ot this $978,282 consisted of "clergy reserves fund balances and other sources." Of. he remainder the Leeislattve grants formed only $268.722, while the muttioipla grants and assessments amounted Lo $3,034,352. Many people do not seem to realize the fact that the ratepayers pay out of their own pockets twelve times the amount of the Legislative grants to schools. The Boston Globe and other im• portant newspapers, have been se- riously discussing the migration of farmers Frani Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont which really appears to have obtained the proportions of an alarming exodus_ To the credit of the American press be it said, the matter is being dis- cussed as a social and economical problem, not as a question of poli- tics. If deserted farms and deserted villages were a.scommon in Canada as they are in New Engla.ed, some• b dy would want to remedy the evil by Act of Parliament and in- cidently to prove that the National Policy, or the Grit press, or the Franchise Act had converted a smiling la d into a howling wilder- ness. The New Eegland farmer. have all the advantage ot unre- stricted reciprocity or commercial union threaten to confer upon the Canadian farmers. They have the market of sixty-five millions and they have a tariff which is tinkered at "Washington instead of being tinkered at Ottawa. If political conditions could make farming pay the New England fanners ought to be rich, rich as the Canadian far- mer is goingto be when unrestrict ed reciprocity succeeds the N.P. But farms in New England out ot which fortunes have beeu made, farms still fertile are deserted by their owners, who can find for them neitner purchasers nor tenants; and our neighbors across the line have the good sense to see that the cause of the evil lies deeper than political influences go and that they have to deal with a problem in which the Blaines and Harrisons and Clevela.nds are very insignifi- cant factors. The natural heirs to the prosperous New England far- mers of a by -gone day have not all gone to take up farms under more favoring political skies as the Cana dian farmers of the exodus are sup posed to have done. Some have gonu to college and have become physicians, lawyers or parsons. Some have gone into stores and some into workshops. A few have tallen into politics and no doubt a few have gone to Texas. On the whole the migration has been nei- ther more nor less than an exemp hfication of the almost universal tendency of rural populations to- wards the towns and cities, accel erated in this instance by the changed conditions of succes.tul farming to which the New England farmers failed to accommodate themselves. This coneestion of the population in the town and cities is good neither tot town nor country, but how can it be relieved? So lone/ as country people believe that life in town is pleasanter or more pro- fitable than life in the country, young men will contiene to leave the yeomanry ranks in great num bers to seek their fortunes at the great centres of population. In curious contrast to the prevailing ambition of the young men of the country for a city career is the re. gret of many city men of an older generation that they have not spent their lives in the country. The ambition of a farmer's son to win distinction iri one of the learned professions or ib any of the avoca. tions which centre in the cities is legitimate and proper enough ; but much better will it be when the general ambition of the farmers' sons is to rise in the agricultural ranks, and not to rise out of them.v HO 7 this is to be brought about is not so easy to determine, but, what. ever tends to make farming more profitable, to increase the oppor- tunities of the agriculturist to win Children Cry for Pitehor"s noolvIt' distinction ix his own business, to beautify the country and to im- prove the social conditions of COUlle try life, will help tosaccessfully solve a problem of profound inter- est no less to the industrial than to the agricultural classes, According to the following, Kr. Greenway, Premier of Maniteba, is lowering his legislative abilities in the minds of his friends Read wilat the Wieuipeg Free Press (Liberal) has to say eancereing railway matters :—. “What did all the promises and pro- fessions of Mr, Greenway and Mr. Martin mean, but that they were going to get this competition for the province if it did cost a rebellion? ,Vhy was the province asked to vote $700,000 as a subsidy to the Northern Pacific, if not on the express understanding that it would compete with the C.P.R.? Did we give away our money for fun—as an expression of our affection for a foreign railway corporation? By no means. It was a straight busieess transactiou, in which the province agreed to give $700,000 if the Northern Pacific would give competition. The only irregularity about the making of the bargain was that the Government, instead of acting for the people, acted for the railway ceinpany. The result is that the people, having given their money, now find themselves deceived—deceived by the Government and company acting in unison. It was planned as a swindle and carried out as a swindle. A 'United States railway has been allowed to tap Canadian territory, the privilege has Leen enhanced by a present of $700,000, and Mr. Joseph Martin is in the "front rank of provincial capitalists." Thet is all we have to show for our agitation Igainst monopoly and for our sacrifice of money. Mr. Greenway, too, would have been in the "front rank of provin- cial capitalists," only that, he was so dull witted that Mr Martin was able to side- track him." From the T—oronto Oorres- - pondent. --- WINDSOR, Dec. 26. --The Separate School Trueteee have been trying to override the Jaw in Essex comity, but up to the present they have been checkmated in every move. Nearly thirty years ago a Separate 80110°1 was establi4ied in Essex, and among tbe first teaohers was a nun from the Si. Mary's Convent. In a few veins another nun vas engaged, and anout fivo years ago n third one WAS allowed to teach. A very large „Percentage of Windsor's population is Roman Catholic, and as a consequence the echool attendance is very large. This year the building of an addition to the school necessitated the selection of another teacher. Tho School Board is composed of five Catholics and seven Protestants, and the above matter was referred to a com- mittee, of which ex -Mayor Coventry was chairman. The committee recommended the appointment of a Mise Shinners, a Roman Catholic, who has been teaching in the Sixth Ward, and who has every quali- fication for the vacancy. As soon as the report was read a howl went op from the Roman Catholic members because another nun was not appointed. The meeting was a stormy one, and the report of the com- mittee was carried. But the Roman Catholio members did not intend to let the matter rest, and a special meeting was therefore called. Trustee Bourke, -who leads the Catholic wing, ranted on the oppression of their relioon, and threatened all sorts of things if their claim was not allowed. Dr. Coventry produced the law, which stated that all Separate school teachers shall have certifieetes, yet not one of the nuns had the necessary document, though they had been tcaching for years, thanks to the tolerance of tbo Protestant members of the board. The motion to appoint another nun was lost, and Secretary Bartlett was authorized to write the Minis- ter of Education asking if permission was ever granted to mins to teach who had not the proper qualifications. The Catholic members admit that the nuns have no right to teach. A number of prominent Catholics are overjoyed at the action of the board, because they, though powerless to say anything, are opposed to nuns teaohing, and thereby shutting out worthy Catholic teachers who live at Windsor, and have worked hard to secure certificates. . But it is not alone in Windsor that the Roman Catholics are trying to override the Protestants. SOlne twelve miles east of Windsor is the little village of Belle River, where a Mies Healy, a duly qualified teacher has presided over the Public schools for years. Not a fault could be found with Der in any manner, yet the school trustees have discharged her, and brought a couple of mine, who have no certificates, to take Mies Healy's place. The small handful of Protestants have made a kick, but as the board. is entirely French, they will not alter their decision . In proof of the charge that the Roman Cathilies have a leOld on the Mowat Ad- minietration, I Will relate the following conversation that took place in the Essex County Bank on Saturday last between Rev. Dean Wagner and Dr. Coventry. The former was trying to induce the latter to allow the other nun to teacb, but the doctor said the requeet was iliegal and could -not be entertained. "But.' replied the ocal head of the Catholic, Church, '' we have the ear of the Minister of Educatiou, and will get it. A few weeks ago," continued Father Wagner, "hie Grace Archbishop Walsh mot Mr. Ross on the train, and the latter remarked that there were certain pictures hanging up in some schools inNorth Bssex that would have to be removed. 'Well, Mr. Ross,' replied the Archbishop, 'those pictures were plaeed there for a certain purpose, aed they shall remain.' Mr. Ross teen decided, like Davy Crockett's coon, to come down, and told the A.roh: bishop theta all right, they would not .be disturbed." This is a true story, as told by Doan Wagner, and shows that Mr. Roes is not his own master. But it is not only in Windsor or Belle Rivet that the dispotism of the Roman Catholic school trustees can be seen. The images and crucifixes that were removed from school houses just befere the vieit of Mr, Bose' whitewashing oommiseion have boon eland in their former positions, end the French language roigne supreme. The sehool law, if there be any, is flagrantly abiloa1 Nolo nssex, and Protestants are wondering what will be the end. meg Tim mon= watil erase 27111, The Betird of iltitication held a speoial meeting hitt night that for brevity dia. eennts any previous mooting in the history of the Board. net exaotly seven minutes after Secretary tartlett had finished read-, Minarel's Lizntnont,is used by Phyeidane.

They also deeided that all teachers not at present qualified should secure the proper qualifications within the 'text year, or their places would be filled by others. The report was adopted, Secretary Bartlett last week wrote to Hon. G. W.
