COOPER, mite;,;t1p,akgeetd nir CLINTON "Upon this point, which deeply af- fects my fellow co -religionists in the Province of Manitoba, I tell you this:— I make no bones about it. I do wish from the bottom of my soul that they had the privileges restored to them that are enjoyed by my fellow co-religienists in the Province of Ontario, and that are enjoyed by my friends of the Pro- testant persuasion in the Province of Quebec, but, though I do wash it, I will never try to have those privileges re- stored except upon grounds which can appeal to Protestants and Catholics alike, and not to Catholics alone." Another statement that Mr Laurier makes is one that is of vital interest to the people of the Dominion, and refers to the Superannuation system as fol- lows:— "As scon as the Liberal party come into power we shall provide that no man shall receive any money from the public treasury except what he con- tributes himself, and not a cent of the taxes of the people." That is a good sound principle for any RETRACTION. Mr Feafictis Joseph McKay, by his solicitor, hes serried notice of action upon UR for the publication of an item of news which appeared in our issue of the 20th ult., headed "murder scare." We wish to state that we published the'same, as it appeared in other news- papers, without any malice toward an yone,4 including Mr Francis Joseph McKay, who is an entire stranger to us, and we believe now that there is no suspicion whatever of wrong doing at. taching to Mr McKay,. and wo have no hesitation in expressing our regret to him, for any annoyance or trouble which he may have suffered through public:stion of the item complained of. The NEW ERA is only too glad at all times to undo as far as possible an in- juryit may do any one, mot e particu- • larly an entirely unintentional injury so serious as this, and as far as we can we desire to vindicate Mr McKay's character and absolute freedom from the imputations thrown upon him. a recitation by Wes McIntosh, of Cone stance. An open. meeting was held kr the Town Hall, in the evening, at which there was a good attendance. Addresses had been announced by the Grand Chief Templar and Superinten- dent of juvenile missionieboth of whoin were present, but, owing to illness, neither of these gentlemen were able to speak. However, a good program was rendered. The Lucknow Templars en- tertained all the delegated in a royal manner.

Persons are to day enjoying salaries that run up into the thousands of dollars, and for which they do not give one stroke of work in return. They have been "superannu- aied,"rnany while yet well able to work, and the taxpayers of the Dominion foot the bill. The system costs the people of Canada about $200,000 every year, and we have yet to hear a good argu- ment advanced in favor of continuing it. Another point of interest in Mr Laurier's address, is his threat, if the Liberal party ever comes into power, to abolish the Dominion Franchise Act. Every Liberal, and not a few Conservatives, will endorse him upon this point. It is a most iniquitous, un- fair, and expensive system; is not as reliable as the Provincial lists, and is, of necessity, to some extent out of date before an election occurs. We hope as much enthusiasm may may he manifested for Mr Laurier when the election comes on, as is shown him in his present tonr. The Prohibition Case. "If the judges of the Judicial Commit- tee," Sir Oliver Mowat said to a pressman, °ulna returnlast week from Great Britain, "were to take the same view as that ex- pressed by the judges in the appeal in the Scott Act, I thiak it foliate; that the Pro- vinces have no jurisdiction in the matter of prohibition, because they then praotioally held that the Dominion eat was valid, on the ground that the provinoes had no juris- diction to pass snob a law." "If," Sir Oliver went on, "the Provinces have no jurisdiction to pass a law giving local pro- hibition, they would have no power to pass a law giving absolute prohibition." "How- ever," he continued, "The Judicial Com• mittee is differently constituted from the committee which sat in the Scott Aot case, and it seemed from the observations of some of the judges that their inclination was the other way." Sir Oliver pointed out that the Judicial Committee is a large body, and that some judges sat on each case who did not sit on the other, while lapse of time would also effect changes in the personnel of the'Court. Possibly, he intimated, the committee might, without saying that the former judgment was wrong, find grounds for saying that the Provinces have jurisdiction in the matter, He was there( for four clays, Sir Oliver add- ed, watching the case, and consulting with the counsel, and considering the arrange- ments made.

Change of Management. Mr Sargeant, General Manager of the Grand Trunk, has been retired to become Canadian director on the Board of Management in the old country, and is succeeded by Mr C. M.

Mr Hays has had ample ex- perience on the Wabash and other The value of farm lands in Ontario is said to have decreased $67,000,000 in the last 12 years. This is a very seri- ous decline in a Province so favorably situated as this one is. Misses Ross and Thompson, of the Palm- erston public school staff, have resigned. Miss Thompson will go to Buffalo to grad- uate as an hospital nurse, while Miss Rose seeks a better salary in her chosen profes- sion.

Manitoba School Question. The Toronto World suggests a compro- mise on the following basis: - 1. The Greenway Government to make certain changes in their school laws that would remove some of the grievances of the Roman Cetholice. 2. The Dominion:Government to make certain conceseions to Manitoba, in the way of Crown lands, and to adopt a pro- gram for the settlement of the Northwest, provided that the Greenway Government granted those modifications in their school - law suggested in the preceeding paragraph. railways in the United States, though not yet 40 years of age, and he enjoys a fine reputation both as an officer and as a man. While known as ahrtriet disciplinarian, he keeps the good will of those teith whom he is associated. It will take all his energy, supplement- ed by the best efforts of the whole railway staff, to make the Grand Trunk earn dividends in ordinary conditions of business and of competition, but to the modern railway men great aehieve- ments are possible. All Canadians will wish Mr Hays a large measure of success in bis new position. His appointment, may mean some radical changes in the Grand Trunk, and the expectation is that with char- acteristic American hustle and push, he will infuse more life and energy in- to the staid concern than it has ever known. Another feature of the affair is that it will give the G.T.R. western connections and business that are re- garded as all important. This shows how interdependent the two nations are, as the western traffic is a very prominent feature of both the C.P.R. and G.T.R. Singular, too, is it not, that the two great railway lines of Ca- nada are both under the management of Americans. Seventy-six Chinese have already been executed for their participation in the massacre of missionaries. It's a question if even this heroic treatment will assure future missionaries securi- ty, for the ordinary Chinaman is said to care no more for his life than a pig does. The News -Record is determihed that Mr Forrester shall be the candidate in West Huron who will receive the Libe- ral nomination and support. This is hardly likely, but even supposing it were done, it would only be repeating what was done in the lest Local elec- tion by most of the Conservati ves, who supported Mr Connolly. One of the speakers at, Mr Laurier's meeting in Renfrew, on Satin day, was Mr John McMillan, the sturdy repre- sentative of South Huron, end this is what the Globe, in a brief report of the speech, says :— The Price of Grain. Rev. J. E. Starr, Methodist minister of Kingston, declared at Belleville that Pre- mier Greenway, of Manitoba, was conferr- ing with Archbishop Lantevin regarding the school question, was asked for fuller -in- formation. He said:—"I, can say nothing more than I have already stated. Premier Greenway has made advances toArchbishop Langevin, looking towards a settlement,— He wants to know what concessions from hie government will be acceptable to the hierarchy, Whether the Archbishop will meet him half way, is, of course, another question. My information can be relied on." A member of the Manitoba Government states emphatically that Manitoba would no% overlook the Dominion Government's message on schools. There was not the least intention of overlooking the last mes- sage and allowing the first reply to carry its anewer. A reply would be sent at an early date. The , Toronto World says there is no truth fn the rumor that a fall setsion of Parliament will be held. Sir Mackenzie Bowell is worrying, but he won't rneh to meet trouble half -way. rte. will play the waiting game, hoping for something to turn up. Mr Richard Eeterbrooke, founder of the first steel manufactory in the United States and President of the Esterbrook Pen Com- pany, died at Camden, N. J. He came from England and established hie factory in 1860 in a little frame building 'on the site of the present establishment , which employs 400 hands. The Toronto World says : — "Every sensible farmer knows that the price of wheat is set at Liverpool, or Mark Lane, not at Ottawa." The farmers may know it as the re- sult of painful experience, but if they have read the Conservative papers, and believed all they found there, they have believed that it was set at Otta- wa. The World and other protection- ist papers have been telling their read- ers, ever since the N.P. was introduced, that it fixed the price of grain; that it would insure them high prices; in fact, when wheat took a spurt up a couple of months ago, they were all declaring that it was due solely and entirely to the benefits of the N. P. The price of grain is, as a rule, fixed by the English market, and the farmer who believes to the contrary is easily misled, but there is hardly a farmer in the country who does not know that the N.P. has been lauded time and again as the one thing only that would give good prices for grain It has evidently lost its virtue when the Toronto World goes hack on it. "Mr John McMillan, M.P., made as most effective speech in arraignment of the tariff from the point of view of The Liberal Con vention to he held at the farmer.

SEA BATHING IN ENGLAND. No Exception to the Rule that the Briton Takes ills Pleasure Sadly. The English bathing maohino is a cubi- cal box about the size of those cages In which the Chinese carry about their pris- oners of war for the amusement of the populace; an infernal arrangement in very hard wood, entirely destitute of the most distant approach toward comfort. Were a convicted prisoner put into one for half an hour there would be a shriek of protest throughout horrified civilization. This box Is on two wheels, and, of course, there are no springs. There is a flight of stepe on the seaward side. It Is dragged or pushed about 6 incases farther into the ocean than King Canute's ohatr was at the moment he oonolnded to break up his class of moral philosopy for the day. and then you— the occupant — have t,o open the door and make yonr bow to the crowd ;al- ready in the water.

The concluding portion of the Ottawa Journal report of the great demonstration in honor of Hon. Wilfred Laurier, at Brockville says:—Just as when Mr Laurier took the platform there was a wild scene. Men stood and cheered again and again, and when the meeting finally closed there was a still wilder outbreak. Men and wo- men alike jostled and pushed each other in attempts to reach the platform to shake hands with Mr Laurier. They climbed over Beate and benches, and it was an hour or more before the hall was finally cleared. ale wanted to shake hands with everybody and told them so. He stood in a position where the audience could pass him and he met almost everybody. Laurier makes friends firmer by hie handshake. He has a peonliar way of doing it, and generally takes the proffered hand in his own with a warm pressure.
