ITATER is in a rather dfaturbed state at
present and it would take very little to
kindle the spark of insurrection into a
flame. Few nations know the Balance of
government as Great Britain does and as
a result the strong entreat between
British rule and that of any other land.
True liberty is the right of any people
and the day of intolerance is past or else
where it is practiced disquietude and
war is like to be the consequence.
THE attempt of a few cranks to reser.
rect the Manitoba School question fo
neotion with a discussion in Parliament
did not pan out very well nor should it as
the man who attempts to ferment strife
and discord is an enemy to hie race.
Nearly everybody mast' be of the opinion
that the opening up of a subject like the
above would result in no good and would
be fraught with evil results to no -end.
Shame on the tail twister in this or any

A rnon mute and influential man pass-
ed off the stage of action when D'Alton
M00arthy died. He was not only a
notable personage in politica but as a
lawyer was exoelled by none. Hie death
resulted from injuries received by being
thrown from hie carriage while driving
to the Union depot, Toronto, to take the
train for Ottawa to attend the sessions of
Parliament. He was a man of indepen-
dent mind and as a aoaeequenee often
had a hard row to hoe in politics but he
valued hie opinions more than the pre-
ferment of party and did muoh to in•
urease the growth of independence in
speech and aot. Mr. McCarthy repre-
sented North Simone for many years
where he was most highly esteemed. His
deoease is a distinct lose to this country.
THERE is nothing of particular moment
transpiring in oonneotion with the war
between the United Staten and Spain.
The fleets appear to be keeping ally of
each other and the losses to either side
have been small so far. Reinforcements
are being sent to Admiral Dewey at
Manilla, to hold the oonntry after the
stare and stripes are hoisted. It would
appear that the U. S. naval viotory there
was very decisive but we doubt if Mr.
Dewey is entitled to all the baguets
thrown at him as ft was an unequal oom- -
bat and it was next to impossible to have
it result in any other way. A duel be-
tween two men armed with a rifle and a
shot gun, and far enough apart that the
shot would not reaoh the rifleman, is a
fair illustration of the situation. We
are sure of one thing and that ie that
millions of dollars of debt are being piled
up by both nations and all over the set-
tlement of a question that recourse to
arms should not have been necessary. A
big battle is expeoted in the near future
close to Ouba' as both fleets are in that
looality. American troops are to be
landed id Chiba and a "hot time" will no
doubt be the result.
