If the Angelican Church wants de-
nominational echaols it has as much
right to then as the Roman Catholic
Clemch,and if it agreed to support them
it would relieve municipalities of great
responsibility. The common school sys-
tem of tuday is not such as to commend
it to the public, and the achools wherein
is carried out what is known as higher
education should be maintained by those

A private letter front Manitoba states
that: the prospects of a spleudid crop are
of the brightest. The total acreage put
under crap this aeanon is shown to bo
1,350,201 acres, beiue an increase of
267,407 over that of 18110. Of this in-
creased area, 170,707 acres are devoted
to wheat, 70,110 to oats, and. 23,793 to
barley. The remainder, 2,89$ acres, is
divided among putatt•r, rvut and rye
areas. The area shown under wheat in
the Province is a decided increase over
that ref last season, being a total of ti1t:,-
out acres, c,r an ndvanee of •,::.' per cents.

has apotheosized him, but his influence,
sublimated and energized, retrains with
his followers.. That influence toeoalesce
and solidify is now greater than ever.
Conservatives will remain true to Sir
John's memory. Imbued with patriot-
ism and believing in the promises and
vast capabilities of this country they
will carry on the grand work that pass-
ed from the hands of their late leader
only at tbe behest of all•conquering

liberty loving and patriotic soldiers,
dispirited and chanting a dirgeful psalm,
bore his body to the tomb ; but they
returned singing a hymn of hope and
exultation, and they won success. There
is a great future ahead of the Couserva-
! tive party in Canada, and we confident-
ly expect them unitedly and irresistibly
to go forward and possess the rich in-
heritance. Where it given to the beau-
tiful dead to join in the acclaims of tbe
living, the voice of the departed leader
would be Beard shouting in the cry,
"Sir John is dead, long live the Consor-
vative Darty :"
The Dominion Cabinent has been re-
instated and behind it are the unbroken
ranks of Conservative members, fresh
front the people and united in a common

ed lines which Sir John Maedonad laid
down fur them. The Conservatives
were twit wholly taken by surprise when
the Angel of Death laid. bis icy hands en
the life striugs of the Old Chieftain.
They knew that in the order of natural
events the Premier could not continue
at his 'arduous post much longer. it
was conceded on every hand that he had
gang for the lust time to the country,
and the Conservative members returned
to Parliament with the melancholy con-
viction that very soon they must follow
another leader, The blow came sudden.

Tire London Quarterly Review, in a
recent discussion of the Canadian ques-
tion, expresses the opinion that Canada
is just entering the most critical pericd
of her history. It sees in the contest
between the two commercial policies,
unrestricted reciprocity and protection,
a danger threatening our present rela-
tion to the mother country. Add to this
Canada has reached that stage when all
the antagonistic elements, arising from
those differences of nationality, geogra-
phical situation, and commercial inter-
ests that exist in a Dominion stretching
for three thousand five hundred miles
between the oceans, must complicate its
questions of government and require a
careful, sagacious and steady hand atthe
helm. The Review predicts that "from
this time forward Canadians will have
to face political, financial and commercial
problems, which will require extraordin-
ary statesmanship to solve wisely and
which must test to the very unmost
their patriotism, their fidelity to an old
and cherished connection and their
ability to preserve their political auton•
omy on the continent and build up a
great and prosperous nation." It ex-
presses the hope in which loyal Canadians
everywhere share that everything may
be carried on in close alliance with Eng-
land.

"One by one Conservative chickens
are coming home to roost. A. strong
effort was made in many Ontario con-
stituencies to turn votes against the
Liberal party on the ground that Mr
Larnee1t was a Roman Catholic, Now
the Conservative party is facing the
possibility of having as leader Sir Jones
T.xoMpsox, who is a Catholic of the
strongest type."-Goderich Signal.
In the natural course of events it so
happens that Sir John Thompson is not
selected, hence the Signal's foreboding
of disruption among the Conservatives
is reduced to the obscurity from which
it came. It is surely without consider-
ation that a newspaper will state that
the, conservative party will fail to carry
on the labors of their loved and lost
leader. It is true in politics as in other
matters that the workers die, , but Pro -

SIRJO$N'S REMAINS INTER•
RED.,
Dueled with Great Pomp -one of the most
Memorable F,vents in the History of
Canada.
The mortal remains of the late Six
Jobe �,MaedaneI were e com ito to
their last resting place at Kingston on
Thursday last, The day was truly a
memorable one for Kingston. It marks
an event that cannot fade front memory.
Cataraqui graveyard becomes a historic
spot and thousanis in the coming days
will make pilgrimages there to view the
resting place of thegreatest governmental
ruler Canada ever had in her earliest
day. The day was hot, the aun shining
brilliantly. The rain came down vigor-
ously after px o'clock, but did not inter-
fere with the proceedings, The city
was
nterfwas crowded. Theepeonple began flock--
in in as early as 4 o'clock in the scorn-
ing, They came front all parts of
Canada. The entire morning was spent
in the City Hall ; 20.000 persons in
double lines passed the bier. The guards
were composed of Royal ¥ilitary College
cadets. They remained on duty from 9
Wednesday* night till 0 Thursday morn-
ing, when they were relieved by another'
party. At noon the great floral heaps
vere removed so a prepared car. For
hours the display was witnessed by all
eyes. At 1 o'clock the procession began
forming, and was one of the grandest
ever seen in Kingston streets. It was
over two miles to length and occupied
over 40 minutes in passing a given point.
The parade moved at 2,40 o'clock. At
this time three Hailes of princess street
was lined with •spectators. Not less
than 40,000 persona viewed the oolomn
advance to the grave. The parade was
under civic control. The stores were
closed and draped, Order of the parade
was thus: Route-Direce from the laity=
Hall along Ontario street to Princess
street and direct to Cataraqui cemetery.

Vote eft. Abbott, Sir .blue* Successor,
Ottawa, June lith. -Senator Abbott
spent all Saturday afternoon in confer-
ence with hie colleagues of the late ad-
ministration, and it is understood that a
general. willingness was expressed to
retain under hi
nt the offices held under
Sir John Maeduuald. He is a men of
ripe political experience, and for sono
years past has served as leader of the
Government in the Senate. Ho is en-
dowed with a far seeing judgment, a
refined intellect, and a strong sense of
caution. Cainbined with these gifts are
those qualities of hearing and manner
which eminently fit him for the great
work with which His Excellency has en-
trusted hint. His life has been narked
by such modesty, however that he is
relatively but little known outside the
Province of Quebec, where Itis lugit
talents, his spotless character and wide
spirit of tolerance have given hint am
enviable reputation, Ile tima a member
of the late Cabinet without portfolio,.
and enjoyed in a very high degree the
confidence of Sir John Macdonald. He
takes the Premiership without specific
conditions, hut it is believed with the
tacit understanding that the appearance
of a new chieftain is highly probable.
With the old cabinet reinstated, matters
will go along smoothly until such time
as the best and deliberate judgment of
the Conservative party has settled the
question of a permanent leadership.
Inthe meantime Hon, Mr. Abbott
has cabled to London England, ordering
his broker to sell all his stuck in the
Canadian Pacific Railway. President
Van Horne, of the C. P. R., has also
received Mr Abbott's resignation as a
Director of the Company.
The question as to the leadership in
the Lower House is being eagerly dis-
cussed. Mr Abbott will not make any
statement in regard to his choice, but
indications favor Sir Hector Langevin.
Sir John Thompson, it is vera gener-
ally understood, was approached by His
Excellency with the object of inducing
the ex -Minister of Justice to farm a
Ministry. He, however, did not enter-
tain any strong. desire to become Pre-
mier. In fact, his inclinations were in
the opposite direction.
