.ROYAL TITLES.
The recent bestowal by Her Majesty
the Queen of royal titles ou New Year's
day, agreeably to a time honored ous-
tom, has a special interest for the Col-
onies. It is only of late years that any-
thing like mcritorions recognition -of
faithful service to the Crown has. been
awarded to public men in the outlyiztg
branches of the Empire. The royal
favor until recently has been confined
to the representatives of sovereignty,
or to naval and military commanders
who have distinguished themselves
while abroad. But that growing sent-
iment of Imparial unity, which has so
happily sprung up within the past quak-
er of a eeutury, and which bids fair to
reach its consummation ere long, has
naturally enough directed Imperial at
tendon G more to the Colonies than for-
merly. One reason for this doubtless
was the recent prominence given to
Colonial statesmen—such as the late
Sir John Macdouald, and the late Sir
John Thompson—who by their marked
ability and able statesmanship, both in
Colonial and Imperial interests com-
pelled public recognition of their ser
vices. In the case of Canada, it is
worthy of notice that the grand policy
of confederating all the colonies of
British North America into one consoli-
atded Dominion,— this, we say, has
had much to do with Her Majesty's re-
cognition of public merit on the part
of our distinguished men Some would
plead that this is all mere sentiment;
and one or two of our public men, to
whom offers of titular honors were prof-
ferred, declined the honor of being
knighted—as much perhaps through a
false feeling of humility, as through
unwillingness to help on the cause of
Imperial unity. But the world moves
all he same—and the dissentients find
that, willing or' unwilling, they have
to move along with public progress or
go to the wall. We do not for a mo•
ment imagine, for example, that Me
Goldwin Smith's traitorous conspiracy
and public utterances, bespattering
the country of his birth or adoption,
are going to stop the progress of that
growing sentiment of loyalty and co-
lonial attachment to Great Britain
which is becoming so popular, not only
in Canada, but in Australia and Cape
Colony as well, and when we find such
able minds as the Right Hou. Cecil
Rhodes, a .d Sir H. Parkes, and Col
Howard Vincent, C. B.—not to speak of
our own Canadian statesmen, past and
present—voicing the public sentiment
on the great question of Imperial feder-
seion for purposes of trade and com-
merce, and for a common British policy
as well, oue can afford to smile at the
puny efforts of a few malcontents who
in a spirit of pessimism would make
everybody else as unhappy as them-
selves. It is gratifying to reflect that
our beloved Sovereign, with that
motherly regard id and
affectionate to
con-
cern which Her Majesty has so often
evinced towards Canadian statesmen,
has done more to cement the tie which
binds us to the Enrpire than any mere-
ly political monument. And if our
present Premier, Sir Mackenzie Bowell,
and no more than iuitate the Colonial
conference held at Ottawa, which is al-
ready bringing forth such good fruit,
he fully deserves to wear the high hon-
ors so recently bestowed upon him by
Her Majesty the Queen.
H.APvTY WINS KINGSTON.
_Kingston, Jan, 29.—A great deal of
excitement was caused by the election
caused here yesterday. Not for many
years was such interest displayed in an
election. Many places of business closed
down for the day and bothemployers
and employes worked hard for their res•
pective candidates. The total vote polled
was: Harty, 2,283; Smythe, 1,851, Ma-

THE GOVERNMENT'S POSITION
Ti,ey May Grant to the Catholics or Mani-

Orion, it is Thought, Will help
to•Settie the Question
of 1)lssolution.
LONDON, Jan, 30.—The judicial commit
tee of the Privy Council yesterday allow,
ed the appeal of the Roman Catholics of
Manitoba in the case of Brophy v, the
Attorney -General of Manitoba, but they
refused to give the costs .to the appellant.
The jut'•tment, •which, was delivered at
great length, means that the Dominion
Government • are possessed of power to
grant the Boman Catholics of Manitoba
remedial legislation forthe support of
their Separate schools, abolished in 1890,
When the Manitoba $eboel Actwas pass-
ed,' doing away with all but state schools.
The scene of the•conflict in ••this connec-
tion Will hereafter • be on the floor of the
House of Common's at Ottawa. In the
presence of Baron Watson, Lord of•Appeal-
in-Ordinary; Lord Mac1\Teagbten, Lord of
Appeal -in -Ordinary; itad Lord Shand, a
member of the judicial committee of the
Privy Council, the Lord Chancellor, Baron
Herahell delivered the judgment allowing
the appeal from the decision of the Su-
preme' Court of Canada in the case of
Brophy and'otheis against the Attorney-
General Of Manitoba, rendered on Febru-
aryr 20, 1894, and known ae the "Manitoba
School ease." The announcement that
no costs were allowed was generally ex-
pected on account of the way the case was
Instituted. '
Mr. EdwardB
Blake, M. P., leader of the
Canadian. Liberal party from 1880 to 1891,
and formerly Premier of Ontario, and Mr.
J. S. Ewart, of the Manitoba beer, were
counsel for the appellants. Mr. Cozens
Hardie, Q. C., 11Q;. Haldane,•Q. C., and Mr.
Brady appeared for the respondent.
The decision of the Privy Council, when
announced; created the: greatest interest
among Canadians' in London, who, know-
ing the importance of the case,had been
eagerly watching for the result. The
Lord Chancellor's delivery of the exhaus-
tive'judgmeut of the appeal lasted nearly
an hour. He said their Lordships were of
opinion that'the enactment with governs
the present, case is the second sub section
of the Section 22 of the Manitoba Act,.
reading as follows : . '" 2. An appeal shall
lie to • the' 'Governor -General -in -Council
from any act or decision of the Legislature -
of the Province or of any provincial
authority,. affecting' any right or privilege
of the protest'.of Roman Catholic minority
of the Queen's subjects in relation to
education." Therefore, their Lordships
held tbatthe•Roman Catholics' appeal to
the Governor -General -in -Council was ad-
missable by. virtue of that enactment, in-
asmuch as the school acts of 1890 abolish-
ing separate schools, affected the rights
and the privileges of the Roman Catholic
minority .within • the meaning of the
section..
Their. Lordships decided further that
the Governor -General -in -Council bad.
power to make declarations or. remedial
orders asked•for inthe petitions, and that
also the appeal was well founded. It was
not for, the Privy Council to intimate the
coarse thaa may now be pursued, but
their Lordships declared that certainly it
was not essential that the statutes, re-
pealed by the act of 1890, must be re-enact-
ed. All legitimate ground of complaint
would he :removed, if the education system
were supplemented by provisions remov
Ing the grievance.upon which the appeal
was founded, gar in other words granting
funds for the sii ort .
pp of the Separate
schools in the proviuce.
Leading g up to
this judgment, their Lordships reviewed
at great length the circumstances which
the act was passed, and also its exact
scope.
It wasote •
n d t that, the decision of the
Council in the case of Barrett v. the City
of Winnipeg seemed to have given rise to
some' misapprehension, n 1867 it • was
Pointed out
the union of the P roviuce s
of.
Canada, lova'Scotia and New Brunswick
took place.' 'Among the obstacles which
had to be overcome in order to bring about
that union, nous perhaps presented a
greater difHcdlty than the dilferences of
opinion which existed with regard to the
questioni of education. The existing state
of affairs in Canada at Confederation in
the matter of school laws was then ex-,
plai tied and the Manitoba school question
and situation fully discussed. .,:he his-
torical records were unearthed and the
case most exhaustively dealt with, after
which the judgmtnt o bove given was de-
livered.
' Dissolution Is Talked Of.
OTTAWA,: Jail. 30.—The whole .talk in
DfflClal Circles is dissolution.
This is a result of the judgment in the
Manitoha.bhool case. It is thought now
that the Quebec ministers who have so far
been opposing dissolution before a session
will now agree to it rather tbau face the
school issue, which will certainly he raised
as soon as the House meets.

Never in the history of the association
has there beet, more deeper and earnest
enthusiasm than on the present occa

septation of delegates from every con-
stituency,, but a large numberof the
electors were also iu attendance. This
and the many other favorable features
testify to the fact of an almost assured
victory for the Conservative candidate.
The meeting was held in the Town
Hall, which was filled -to its utmost ca-
pacity, and,.after the large gathering
was called to order the following officers
were elected:—John Fox, President; H.
Eilber, Vice -Pres.; Mr. Orme, Secretary
and W. D Stanley, Treasurer. The
following resolution of condolence, mov-
ed by W. D. Stanley and seconded by
r.C• Hodgins, was then read And unan-
imously carried:—
That the Liberal Conservative association
of North Middlesex at their annual meetiug

ing our great sorrow for the loss sustained

that with goat skins. But that
time is past. It is not neces-
sary to clothe yourself in any
unsightly garb when you can
get clothes that fit you like
bark to a tree and at prices
consistent with the times. Call
and select from a big lot of
choice pieces. We will make
it worth your while. . . ,
