The Supreme Court has decided that the Legislature of Manitoba had no power tu Vass a measure abolishing parate Schools in that proviuce, and the province will carry the question to the Privy Council in England. So the rgument will be, not whether Separite schools are inimical te the educational interests of the province, but whether the province has a right to interfere with institutions established under au- thority id the British North America Act. In short. the question of previa- eial rights,in a country formed as Canada is. of many Provincesmust always give nse to dispute- It was so in the United States, where the feeling over States rights ran high for yeara and contributed not a little to the acrimony which led to the civil war. pre bunion of rain by artificial means is letting on in India. as evil as in the United States.

The Editor dug not necessarily endorse the sentiments advaneed in articles under this heading. Independence, 2'o the Editor of the Exeter Times, DEAU SIB,-rn your iesue of last meek " Gemadian" has a letter criticising my article on "Canadian Indepeudence," and advocating annexation. It is well to die - cuss these things. I admire Sir, your liberality in publishing snob leVers, and I admire the principles of "Canto:Ilan," who, if he honestly believes annexation the best thing for us, boldly says so. I believe in discussing that or any other phase of our destiny. Loyalty is all well enough, but itt should he intelligent loyalty to command respect. And we innst remember that revolutioniets are always traitors andreeh e.s till success erowne themovhen tbey sudden- ly become heroes. The expression of an honest opinion should not be derogatory to any man's reputation or welfare. The only aristocracy demanding respect are those of honesty and intellect. 'Canadian' has a right to be an annexationist, I, an Independent, other people Colonistif we severady think we are right. Thus pre- mising, allow me to say, that while 'Cana- dian' has written an able, striking and forcible article, he has not replied at all to my letter. He says independence is impossible for certain mewls. He gives our debt at per head, while the delst of the United, States ist$18, While I do net avkuovviedge the accuracy of the figures, yet for ergu ment's sake we will allow it. Ile knows the time when the U. S. debt Was seven or eight times what it is rum'that is the Perlerel debt. If our population increesed s that of the United States has, why could we not reduce our debt, as they have, es- pecially if we had the enormous taxation they have had since the war -both duty and interval revenue.? We know that the U. S. paid their Federal debt mostly by internal revenue. Ile compares for in- stance the increase of Delete with Mani- toba.

It cannot be de he says; question of "dolkire and cents;" this di - redly disproves it.

If we were republicans we would excel them as muck as our couutry excels desire. Then "Cauadian " foote up our taxation if we became indepeudent to $12 per heal. But we would so boom that we would probably double our population iu ten years ; he does not allow for that. And he supposes a diplomatic corps anda stand- ing army. We have an agent now in Lon- don and Paris -about oll we would need if independent; and as for a standing army, would not propose to enter nationality as a fighting nation. Surely "Canadian" will allow that it ie about time that armies were abolished. Are we bound to follow effete example m anything? We would propose to jam the model republic of the world, and la that republic we would have no room for soldiers. Killing people will be- come murdet hi the commg glorious twentieth century. We could abolish even our present malitia system, thereby saving several millions a year. What possible good could our farmers get from annexation if the farmers of New York, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois are worse mortgaged, poorer and with worse prospects than the Ontario farmer? That such is the fact is ebeolutely muerte(' by renouned Americen statisticians. There as no money for our farmers in annexation; but there is the greatest imaginable boom for Canada in independence. With strict economy, honest government anti elective officers, Cenada's expense would be much less than at present. We would have more sense and less jingoism. Do away with militia and scores of other excrescences and we could soon reduce our debt. The only possible foe on earth we could. have would be the U. 8.; and from past experi- ence they would. never attack us. They would rather like us to succeed to prove the glories of Republicanism. They have never attacked any weaker power, then why should they attack as? That Canadians desire some change is evidenced by these lettera,by recent border meetings and by scores of press articles. Independence and annexation are open to us. Whieh shall it be is the question for the discontented to decide. Independ- ence would shock no sentiment and bring all the good and avoid all the undesired sequences of annexation. Yours, etc., 'Gabor ne,Nov.2,'91.

Though uot formally annexing the country., a cullateral relative of the ex-iMallaratah, under five years uf age, has been selected fey the thrune, and a British Resident, under the orders of the Viceregal Gov- ernment at Calcutta, is to administer the country during his lungminority. Whether the infant Maharajah Churn, Chund will ever obtain an opportunity to thew the extent to which he has pro- fited by the unique opportunities for political education promised to him by 'The LondonThues"is extremely doubt- ful, and it is far more probable that long before he attains his majority he will have abeam" the fate of the ex- Meharajeh Dhuleep Singh, and that Manipur will have become asicompletely part and parcel of British India as the Punjaub. t t t Word conies from London that the Chamber of Agriculture of the United Kingdom will shortly discuss a motion favoring modified protection for Great Britain in order to give the colonies ad- vantage over those countries which have enacted tariffs hostile to 'Great Britain; in other words, a movement is afoot to brine about it preferential tariff for the colonies, and to form a fiscal federation within the empire. Almost completely shut out of the United States market, and finding in her own dependencies tariffs inimical to her trade, something must be done to help the industries which have sufthred and are suffering from this restriction. The great iron works at Sheffield and Birmingham, the cloth industries, the linen manufacturers and many other lines must find outlets for goods which the United States ex- cludes, and it would not be surprising if a proposition should come from over the sea to give the colonies some protection there in return for free markets for British goods. Some such arraneement will surely come, r, Ad the subject, is a far more important one for Canadians than reciprocity with the United States. Day by day we are becoming more important drawn, edneiderable hidV8ment in farm property is repeated itt the west, which may be taken as the index of a more confident feeling as to the future than has prevailed for some time past. Dur- ing the season of depression arising from a series of poor crops and low prices, it used to be said that there were more mortgages than deeds sent up for regis- tration. It is impossible that such was ever really ease, although we are assured chat it was more the custom to mortgage than buy or sell. While the depression lastel there was but it slim market for farm property. The uncer- tainty as to prices in foreign countries lea large numbers to believe that profit- able farming hacl come to an end on this side of the Atlantic, sled this feeling was shared on both sides of the lines.

The struggle which is going on in Ire- land between the McOarthyites and the Parnellites is remarkable. Although the rupture with Parnell had its origin in the revelations regarding; Mrs. O'Shea, -yet that was not the main cause of the very serious split which occurred in the Irish party. The party had been com- pact and obedient, but the moment Parnell untertook to aght the priests it was all up with him. And that is the point of the struggle now, whether the priests shall rule or not. The Parnellites are inclined to repudiate all clerical in- terference in political matters, out in a country like Ireland it would be difficult to eliminate such interference altogether. The fact of the matter is the Church aims to control the Horne Rule move- ment, and it will control it. When the Land League was at its best, and practi- cally had the people at its feet, it was far more potent with the masses than the church, which at last began to view this formidable lorganization with any- thing but favor, and now that it has been practically suppressed, the Church •seeks to take the lead and keep it. It will back the MeCarthyites, and it will win with them. That is a foregone con- clusion.

The tenitory that Russia covets moat in India lies within Kashgar, and is separated from. Cashmere by a range of mountains. Cashmere is not one of the most undisturbed of East Indian prov- inces, and Russian intrigue could cause much trouble. Rashger belongs to China, however, and any power which attempts to wrest a ;portion of a well- recognised Chinese province from that Empire will find that it has a greater task than it anticipated. The Chinese have quelled revolt after revolt in Kash - gar, and that with apparent ease, and they have rolled back the Russians themselves out of the province of Kuldja. . • Sir Henry Tyler, addressing a meet- ing of Grand Trunk railway shareholders in London, said :-"We will get all we can out of the Canadian people," which fine sentiment was cheered by the meet- ing, This was 'eery candid on • Sir Henry's part, and as a definition of pol- joy is of interest to Canadians who have known for ages that every railway which sprung up intended to get all it could out of the people without saying any- thing about it. So Sir Henry's open- hearted way of putting an important fact is, to say the least, good, and it es an intimation to the Canadian • people that Sir Henry is after them. But how is money bo be made out of the Canadiari people if ,tho two great railway corpor- ations are fighting against each other? It is only by pulling together that rail ways can sap up the people, and cer- tainly that will not be possible until an arrangement is made between the G. T. R. and C. P. R.
