The announcement that the Papal delegate has accepted the settlement of %the school question is not surpeising, nd shows what can be acotnplished by .; conciliation. The Liberal policy is the Ps eople's policy. Judging by the statments of the English papers, a very cordial reception `:s,waits 'the Premier on his arrival in ;pile mother land. He will do no dis- credit to Canada, and will no doubt iwin golden laurels. The Jubilee issue of the Giobe pub - shed u b shed on Wednesday, is a beautiful mple of the printers and lithographic It deals largely with g y w h members of he Royal family, bas illustrations and descriptive matter of all the Provinces and is a decidedly creditable tribute to The Globe's enterprise. The Montreal Star, itself Conserva- tive, thinks the Conservatives in the •,,mouse have little to do when they call- ed attention to other nations • than .England getting the benefit of the pre- `;'ferential trade clauses. The Star thinks it will be plenty of time to object when the. other nations have raised the question, bnt until that time the Con- servatives might employ themselves in bettet business. The Massey -Harris Company is reported to have reduced the price of binders $5 and thelprice of other agricultural implements in , proportion. Whether this is due to tariff ' reform, Grit Government, or conversion to the live -and -let -live principle, the farmers of Manitoba and the Northwest may not atop to inquire. They will welcome the boon of cheap implements as the first in- stalment of relief from the disabilities ander which they have long labored. Nearly all the charges in the Londe"i election case have been dismissed by Jas;- tice Ferguson and Robertson, some for lack of proof of agency and others on the ground of the.unreliability of the witnesses. Judg- ment on the reserved obargee wilt be given ?un Faturday, June 26th. The expense of this trial must have been enormous. Those ;Who read the particulars of this case thought 'At one of the rankest ever before a court, but the judges do not seem to regard the .teirenmstances as of much importance. It will be carried to the Supreme Court. A lot of correspondence has been published by the Postal„ Department, showing that many of the mail con- tracts were awarded to favorites at virtually their own prices. These con- ' 'tracts have since been cancelled, and <: re-Iet to the lowest tenderers. This bas started the Mail -Empire on a new tack. It is assailing Mr Mulock for permitting "ruinous underbidding" for the carriage of the country's mails! It denounces him for not protecting those who want the work from the evils of Competition. Mr Mulock is saving hundreds and thousands of dollars, which under Conservative rule went to partizan contractors at higher rates. Mr Whitney, in his address at Lon- 'don, said that "It was immediately up- on accession to office of the Reform party that the Sandfleld Macdonald lstirplus began to twlntlle away, and in a few short years it went out of exist - Once altogether, and why?" That's .dead easy, Mr Whitney. It is because afle Liberals gave the money back to the people. They paid out $I,500,000 ,,'that been voted be ore they took on - tial; they voted something like $7,000,- '1)00 for 7,,- ,000'for the same purpose -railway aid; !li ,they gave back to the municipalities on ttnicl al loan fund account about S,500,t�, and in other ways have re - I feted the taxpayers of burdens to the • tithe of many millions. And John 1 lsgnildfe1d Macdonald left less than seven millions to begin with.

A telegram from Montreal eays:-Impor- tant news reached hero today regarding Mgr. Merry del Val and the Manitoba eohool question in general, and when the facts Dome officially to light there will be weeping and wailing in more than one eo olesiaetioal centre of Canada. Someone appears to be,4e sounded the papal delegate after His Eaoellenoy'a two interviews with Hon. Thomas Greenway, with the follow- ing result : The Premier of Manitoba will grant no farther oonoeseions to the Roman Catholio minority in that Province, but he bas giv- en Hon. Mr Laurier and Mgr. Merry del Val to undestand that the law will be ad- ministered a good deal more liberally than the context would eeem to juetity. Thie it seems, is the only way Mr Greenway can satisfy the ultra tree eohool element in hie government, and at the same time do a little something for his leader at Ottawa and Mr Tarte. The Pope's representative has, it appears made up hie mind that from His Excellen- cy's point of view it is wise to make the best of a bad bargain, and that his present visit to St. Boniface has no other end in view, but to pave the way for a complete acceptance of the Manitoba school law by the faithful of that Province. It is well understood, however, drat His Grace of St• Boniface is going to kick like the pro- verbial steer; but Mgr. Merry del Val, after taking in the whole situation, has come to the conclusion that any further agitation on the school question,either on the part of Quebec or St. Boniface, will lead eventual- ly to a war of raves and creeds in Canada, and this, not failing to further jeopardize the Catholic position in educational mat- ters, will be sternly frowned down by the delegate and .his superior at the Vatioan. In other words, the young diplomat from Rome has decreed that there must be an eternal truce, and that the Catholics mast look to the generous instincts of the major- ity of the people in Manitoba for the pres- ervation of their undoubted rights. As a matter of fact the appointment of a Cath - olio representative on the school board and a good increase in the staff of Catholic teachers and inspectors throughout the Province enters into the ablegate's plan of pacification. The question arises, however, as to what will be done with the Archbish• op of St. Boniface, for it seems settled in the minds of those who are in the secrets of this Greenway -Merry del Val diplomacy, that in order to spare His Grace any hum- iliation that he may feel, the good Arch- bishop could be removed toanother diocese. If, however, Mgr. Langevin agrees to ac- cept the new order of things His Grace will be allowed to parry on his good work with- in the shadows of St. Boniface Cathedral, High Court of Justice. '1'bis court was opened at Goderich on Monday last by His Lordship Chief Just- . ice Armour, there -being nine cases on the calendar, which are being disposed of as follows: Sullivan et al vs. Ryan et al.

The annual meeting of the West Huron Farmers' Institute was held in the Hall, Nile, on Tuesday, June let,-cdrumenoing. at 1 p.m., Mr Wm. Bailie, Pres., in the chair. Mr T. Durnin, of Dungannon, was appointed Secretary, pro tem. The first order of business being president's report, Mr Bailie gave a very full and elaborate re- port of the work of the Institute for the year, membership, attendance at meetings, sliowing that the past year had been one of progression; he threw out many val- uable epggestions for the benefit of the As- sociation. After some discussion the re- port was reoeived and adopted. Owing to the absence of the Secretary, orders No. 3 and 4 were diepensed''with, and order No.5, auditor's report, was taken up. the re- port of the Auditors, Masers Jos. Mallough and Hetherington, which was in writing, was reoieved and adopted. On motion the accounts were itimized. The membere suggested that the regular two days' meet- ing be held at Dungannon. The pointe sngge ted fur supplementary meetings were Holm eville, Auburn and Wingham. Meser Mallongh and Hetherington were re-elec ed auditors. It was considered ad- visable that the Directors be elected from each municipality, which resulted ae fol- lows: Ashfield-Mesare Hayden, Gavin, Hutchinson. West Wawanoeb-Meeere Bailie, Young and Howatt. East Wawa - nosh -Messrs Lockhart, McGowan and Currie. Wingham - Messrs Grierson, Clegg and Wheeler. Blyth -Messrs Met- calf, Hamilton, and MoQuarrie.

Snell 1st Vice, Mr J. Hutchinson 2nd Vice, and Mr M. Lockhart Sec. Treae. At the evening session Mr Bailie again preside ed, Mr Lockhart Secretary. An excellent program, consisting of mucic by the Utile choir, recitations and addresses,was car- ried out. Mr Heaton's subject was "Mak- ing home attractive, and educating the boyo along agricultural lines;" Mr MoD. Allan gave "Fruit -growing, manuring, pruning, spraying, eto;" both of these gave good speeches, and judging from the queetione put to Mr Allen, much good may result. On being introduced by the President, the newly elected Secretary offered a few re- marks, and a most successful meeting was brought to a close by singing the National Anthem. The Plebiscite. WHY 'THE MEASURE HAS BEEN POSTPONED TILL Nur' YEAR. Sir Richard Cartwright and Messrs Fish- er and Davies were last Monday evening waited upon by a large deputation from the Montreal Methodist Conference, in regard to the prohibition question. Rev Mr Courtice had thought that the bill for taking the plebiscite would be pass- ed this session. They were honestly die - appointed that it would not be introduced owing to the absence of the Premier and to political exingencies, They, however, did notydeaire to jump to hasty conclusions or to blame the Government for deciding to postpone. The fact that this was the jubilee year and that the Premier had been called to the celebration constituted a set of circumstances that were peculiar. As to direct taxgtion, Dr Courtice said that it would be a double burden to place upon the prohibitionists the labor of two important campaigns. The whole trend of public thought had been to run away from direot taxation,and towards tariff ae a means of raisinrevenue. If the vote was not to be taken this year they desired that the new franchise which the Liberal party was expecting to adopt would govern the vote. Mr Hilliard and Dr Manley Henson epoke briefly, the latter saying that there ef'•no desire toembarass the Government, but they held etrougly that the question must be presented directly to the people without any other issue, SIR RICHARD'S REPLY. Sir Richard Cartwright in his reply said that nothing could be more reasonable or courteous than the action of the deputation in laying their views before the Govern- press, went. He wished to say that the Gov- head. ernment shared with them the disappoint- ment expressed that the plebiscite bill could not be introduoed. The Government shar- ed with the deputation also the opinion that it would be of great moment that the vote should be taken on a franchise repre- sentative of the people. The first step tak- en this eeseion,before even the tariff had been brought in, was to introduce a fran- chise bill having a view to the plebiscite. It proved to be a very contentious measure, and the Opposition threatened the Liberals with a dose of their own medicine, and promised to talk till September to keep it from being passed. Again Her Majesty's Government earnestly desired the presence of the Premier in London to talk over mat- ters of great importance affecting all the colonies of the Empire. The plebiscite bill had been withheld because of these things, but it would most assuredly be introduced at the coming session, which would be call- ed at an earlier date than hitbertofore. He agreed with the deputation that the vote should not be weighed down with other matters of political nature, Direct tax- ation was not an unmixed evil, but there was a great deal of force in the view that it was not fair to ask them to educate the people on a question as to which a good many people were behind as well as on the important question of temperance. The Government were alive on the importance of the matter, and desired to give full and fair play in order that the will of the people should be ascertained. Mr Lambly—Then we go away with the assurance that the ballot will not be loaded up with the question of direct taxation? I fully recognize the force of the arguments presented by you in regard to this meas- nre, and I shall place them carefully before my colleagues. We are fully determined that the plebiscite shall be had, and if the will of the people be in favor of the views of the deputation the Government would apply the legislation. Mr Fisher said very emphatically, amid applause, that there was no desire to play fast and loose with the question, and the conclusion not to present the plebiscite bill this session has been reluctantly come to, Mr Davies briefly pointed out that Mr Laurier's personality was greater than that of the leaders in most Governments, and the members from Quebec relied very much upon him. Because of that it was very de- sirable that he should be in theHouee when the bill was broughtilin, because the Govern- ment wished to have it considered under the most favorable auspices: The deput- ation saw the point and left very well pleased.

The New York World's cable dispatches say that the Queen is in an agony of ap- prehension for fear some terrible aooident might mar the celebration of jubilee year, and by her orders Col. Carrington is mak- ing daily a most careful survey of the route with a view to discovering whether there are Any pointe at which a panto might oc- cur or an attack be made on the Queen. The Qaeen'e eight is very bad now, and she wears darkened glasses. The eight Dream ponies whioh are to draw her laundeaa ark•, being exercised daily in the noisest, busiest thoroughfares to accustom them to orowde. Five million visitors are expected, and even the polioe are nervone, as the route of the procession will only be seven miles long. Only 1.500,000 people oan see the procession from the pavement, windows and stands, so that a frightful crush has to be provided against. The whole route will be lined with a double row of soldiers, shoulder to shoulder, while the ingress from the side streets will be controlled by 18,000 policemen. Their places will be taken in the euburbs by 5,000 police pen- sioners, who are to get $E pay :for the day' and night's continuous duty. All vehicu- lar traffic is to be stopped in a great part of inner London from 9 a. m. Tuesday until 7 a. m. Wednesday. The sale of seats along the line of par- ade has not been a success. Tne speoula- tors depended upon Americans to pay big prioee. Americans are finding it nest to impossible to find accommodations, and are planning to spend the time they had laid out for London on the oontinent. An interesting feature of the sale of seats, ie that every church along the route has built most elaborate stands. In some oases the upper tiers even encroach on the lower part of the spires. St. Martin's -in - ,the -Fields makes enough by the sale of privileges to pay for a complete and elab- orate new interior and the decoration of the church.

The Marquis of Lorne, eon -in-law of Queen Victoria, and former Governor-Gen- eral of Canada, is the author of a legency and enlogistie reviews of the prog,rese and present position of Canada, published in the Daily Graphic. Dealing with the vast mining resources of the Dominion he says: "The half- veiled proposal to repudiate debts owing to the British investors, heard from the platform of some of Bryan's sup- porters in the contest, should make ne cher- ish morethan ever the field of investment in our own coloniee," Mr C. M, Hays, General Manager of the G. T. System, was asked oonoerning the protests which emanated from Windsor against the alleged intention to allow the employment of American train crews be- tween Detroit and Suspensionp Bridge, the two points of the G.T.R. affected by the agreement with the Wabash. Mr Hays stated that Canadian crews would be em- ployed there under the new arrangement, as in the past. "We have too many men in Canada who need work to allow out- siders to take their planes. It is no part of our policy to discriminate against Canadian labor. I have, as you have doubtless seen, made that point quite clear previously," :i:.i. , p. ,M aimr... �c tcrtwr.lurte� NEWS NOTES.

Woodstock Sentinel -Review: "Town, Clerk Morrison wonders if the marriage custom is going out of fashion. There was not a single marriage registered at his office last month, a faot unprecedented since he took office. As showing the boom in the mining de- velopmnnt of the province, Mr A. Blue, chief of the Bureau of Mines, points out that the receipts for Ontario mining lands in the last five months exceeded those of five years previous. In the Dominion House of Commons Monday Hon. Mr Davies stated that the Government had•deoided to take part in the Paris Exposition of 1900, and the Min• Teter of the Interior was making arrange- ments for space. Mr Davies, who was spokesman for, the Government in the absence of Sir Richard Cartwright, made the announcement that the Government intended to drop•the fran- chise and plebiscite bills in this session in the compulsory absence of the Prime Minister. • A grand sight is promised for visitors to the Capital on Jubilee day. The Govern- ment has decided to not only decorate the Parliament Buildings on that day, but also to have an illumination at night. The il- lumination will,without doubt, be the finest ever seen in the capital. Fully 10,000 incandescent lights will belused in the dis- play. Two residents of Chemoug villiage are engaged in what they speak of as froggin g it. When the frogs are caught they retain- ed alive in an inclosure until a suitable time for shipment, when they are killed, and the hind -quarters sent away to the States. The catchers realize about 23 cents a pound, and make very good wages. Next week will be a special season, when by going in a canoe with a strong lantern the frogs will flock to the light, and are easily taken. The fishing is being• carried on to a very large extent along the Trent waters. J. Reiner, a young farmer near Bridge- port, was arrested on Monday by High Con- stable Klippert on the charge of forgery. Reiner is a man about 32 years of age and formerly resided at Hanover. He is alleged to have forged the name of Mr George Reiner, manufaoturerof Wellesley, to three different notes which total over $700. Some time last week he presented the notes for sale at a New Hamburg hank, and although the signatures were quite similar to that of Mr Geo. Reiner'e, the bank was suspic- ious and refused to handle them. Mr Rein- er was at once made acquainted with the matter and pronounced that it was a cased forgery. The Hamilton Times says:—"The har- vest is great and the laborers few" used to be a favorite song in the Sunday_ sphool,. but this is now changed. At the Montreal Methodist Conference, it was decided to re- ceive only six out of thirteen candidates who applied to be received on trial as pro- bationers for the ministry. The reason assigned is that at the expiration of their probation the young men immediately qualified for married men's stations, and the supply of stations is not equal to the demand. That looks like a good worldly business reason, but what becomes of the theory that Methodist ministers are '-called by God" to preach the gospel? If the men rejected oandidates have received the Di- vine call, how dare the members of the Conference "fight against God" by sending them baok to be sohool teachers,blaokemithe or book agents? If they have not been thus called, why should the excuse be made that there is no room for them in the ranks? God makes no mistakes that need correo- tion by men in Conference assembled. Must we fall back on the conclusion that presoh• ing is a trade, like law, medicine, selling dry goods andeboeing horses in which sup- ply oocasionly exceeds demand. Chief Altchson. of Hamilton, receiv- ed a newspaper from Cape Town, South Africa, upon,.which there was $1,06 postage due. Of course he did not ac- cept it. The paper was charged for at letter rates, as the stamp was fixed on it so that it was not open to inspection. This shows the fallacy of tying up or sealing newspapers. The most brutal and inhuman assault ever perpetrated by a man upon a woman in Niagara Falls was committed Tuesday afternoon. The man is*Mani Duncan, a property owner on Queen -street, and his victim ie Widow Smeaton, a middle-aged woman living neat door to Dunoan. The cause of the trouble was a leaky water spout on Mre Smoaton'e hoose, which allowed the rain from the roof to run into Duncan's lot. Duncan, enraged entered the widow's house and, after abusing her aesaulted her with his fists. Not satisfied with beating her he savagely thruet an umbrella down her throat and left his viotim unconscious.
