The School Question.
It is not in Ontario alone that the
question of education is agitating the
public mind. In the United States a
lively discussion is at present going on
as to the manner in which the Public
Schools are being conducted. There
the Public School system is of a purely
secular character, and there are no
State aided Separate or Religious
schools. This is what some are agitat-
ng for in this Province. But if we will
profit by the experience of our neigh-
bors, etTe will consider well the reiults
there before we follow in their footsteps.
Although there are no State aided Sep-
arate schools, there are a greater number
of Parochial schools in proportion to the
population than there are Separate
schools- in Ontario. These Parochial
schools are the same as our Roman
Catholic Separate schools, the only dif-
ference being that the Parochial ad:tools
in the States are supported wholly by
those who use them, and they receive no
Government or State aid, and these
parties, besides supporting the schools e
which they use are required to contrib-
ute their share towards the support of
the Public schoola also, which they do
not use. This gives dissatisfaction to
the Roman Catholics, while many of the
Protestants are dissatisfied with the
Public sahools because of their purely
secular charcter. It is complained in
the first place, that an injustice is being
done one section of the people in eom-
polling them to pay double taxes for the
education of their children, and in the
second place that much of the moral
looseness so alarmingly brevalent in the
United States is due to the fact that
their educational system is entirely sep-
arate from moral and religious instruc-
tion. We think there are good grounds
for both complaints.
An agitation is being started in this
Province to do away with State aided
- Separate schools here. In favor of this
, proposition it is urged that these sec-
tarian and denominational schools have
a tendency to separate the children of
different religious creeds; create preju-
dice and animosity between them and to
huildhip in the country creed classes
and distinctions, whereas if the children
were all educated in the one school,and
under the one system, they would grow
up to forget these religious distinctions
and prejudices and become one homo-
geneous people. This would, certainly,
be a very desirable result to accomplish,
but we are very doubtful if the Means
proposed would bear the fruit hoped for.
It has not been so in• the United States
and we have no reason to suppose there
would be a different result here. The
result would be that the Separate
schools would continue as they are now,
only they might perhaps become more
numerous on account of the opposition
shown them, while the Public schools
would lose the small colouring of moral
and religious instruction which theyhave
now. We have not been troubled much
with Separate schools in this Province.
It is only in the larger centres of popu-
lation that they abound to any extent.
We think, therefore, that it would be
more in the interests of all parties if,
Protestants would leave the Separate
schools alone, and bend their energies
towards trying to secure a little
more religious_ and moral instruction
in th,e Public schools. The Roman
Catholics make it a matter of conscience
to have religious instruction imparted to
their children along with secular, and in
this respect we think they set an ex-
ample which Proteatants might, with
great benefit to their children, emulate.
If religion is the all important thing
which we Protestants profess to think
it is, how can we be satisfied with
spending half a million of dollars 'an-
nually and five days in each week in
imparting to our children instruction
• which can at most only be of service to
them fee thirty or forty years, and de-
voting little or no money and about
half an hour a week in having them very
indifferently instructed in what must be
for their eternal welfare? We ought to
try and be consistent at any rate. There
is no reason why a system of religious
and moral instruction could not be pre-
pared for use in our public schools
which would be satfsfactory to all Pro-
testant denominations and which might
not be objectionable even to Roman
Catholics. There ia now in use in all
Proteatant Sabbath schools an Interna-
tional series of lessons. No objections
we have ever heard of have been raised
to it by people of ahy denomination.
Why could not a similar series be pre-
pared for the public schools? If this
were done, will any person say that a
couple of hours study each day of such
lessons, under a competent instructor,
would not do vastly more good to
our children than much of the stuff they
are now drilled in? It would build up
their characters as nothing else will, and
make better men and nobler women of
them. It may be said that many of our
teachers are not competent to impart
such instruction. If this is the case,
teachers would have to be found, and
•could be found, as the demand would
soon create a supply. We would have
better teachers; better scholars and
more honest and virtuous men and wo-
men. Our churches would become bet-
ter filled; our laws better observed;
our law makers more honest; intemper-
ance less prevalent, and our Sabbaths
better observed. We would like to see
some of these really good, well meaning
men who are now agitating themselves
and the people eabout Separate
Schools, Church and State and other
kindred subjects, turning their at.
tention in the direction we have indi-
cated,.and we think they would accom-
plish a deal more for fallen humanity.

A COMMISSION appointed by the On-
tario Government are at present en-
gaged taking the evidere of Sheriffs,
Gaolers, Police Officers, and others who
are more intimately connected with the
management of the criminal classes, with
the view of ascertaining, if poasible,
what reforms can be made in the man-
agement of these classes with a view to
decreasing crime of various kinds. The
•report of this Commission will be pre-
sented to the Legislature at its next
session and legislation will, possibly, be
carried out along the lines which it
recommends. The Canada Presbyterian
ventures to predict that the Commission
"will report that drunkenness hi the
principal cause of crime in Ontario.
What cause will come second it is not so
asy to say. A number of the experts
examined give ignorance the second
place, while some are of the opinion
that the pestilential habit of street -
corner loafing should rank- second. We
also venture to predict that among other
remedies suggested these three will
occupy a prominent place : Industrial
schools for boys, hard labor for prison-
ers and poor houses for persons so aged
• or injured that they cannot take care of
themselves. It is a disgrace to a civi-
lised, not to say Christianised country
that people should be confined in gaol
simply because they are too old to earn
a living. The head and front of their
offending is that they did not die soon
enough. Is it a crime to live! If we
read anywhere that the Russian Gov-
ernment put men in gaol because they
did not die early, how we would de-
nounce the atrocity. And yet men are
put into the county gaols of Ontario be-
cause they are aged or crippled or in
some way unable to take care of them-
selves."

HAYING subsidised a line of West
India steamers, the Domiaiou Govern-
ment is about to despatch Mr. Adam
Brown, M. P., to Jamaica, to see if we
cannot extend our trade in that quarter.
Those who recommend that we should
try to establish wider trade relationa
with our next-door neighbor are accused
of "grovelling before the Yankees " ;
yet it is safe to say there is more to I be
made by grovelling before them than by
grovelling before a small, distant and
comparatively poor community like
Jamaica, while the act would be -no more
humiliating in. one case than 't in the
other. We have kept our plenipotenS
tiaries pretty busy of later Sir Charles
Tupper has been to Spain, Belgium,
France and Italy; we have sent agents
to Australia, and we have made over-
tures to almost every nation, civilised
and uncivilised, in South America; but
all to no purpose. A comrnunity which
will not buy cannot sell abroad. Mr.
Brown will discover the truth of t
elementary principle the moment he
asks the West Indians to accept our
manufactures whilst refusing to take
their commedities in payment. He will
learn also that the secret of foreign trad-
ing is cheapness, whereas protection 4n -
tails and is designed to entail dearnets.
-[Globe.
Mr. Brown does not need to go to
Jamaica to learn -these truths. He
knows them now just as well as any
person. But, Mr. Brown is Out of a
ob at present. The Jamaica appoint-
ment will secure him a nice trip at he
expense of the country, and he will re-
ceive "liberal compensation" for his
services as well. That is what he's
after. The genial Adam don't care two
straws whether the trade between Can-
ada and the West Indies is increased or
lessened so long as he can fill in hie tine
until the Government think it safe to
make a vacancy In the representation of
Hamilton, and then the seventy -years -
old post -master in that city will be super-
annuated and Adam will drop into Ms
place, and will thus be comfortably pro-
vided for for the rest of hia natural life.
In the meantime, the mission to Jemai-
ca will relieve the Government from
the annoyance of being unduly impor•
tuned and the tax -payers of Canada ply
for the fun. So it works all along tiri
line, and so it will work until the money
which keeps these barnacles of the
Brown stamp is raised by direct taxa-
tion. When that time comes, the peo-
ple will watch more closely how the
money goes, and chaps of the genial
Adam -Anglin stamp will have to do a
little honest toil instead of living on
their stealings from the public.

GRIP very appropriately remarks :
They had a Farmers' Institute at Ilder-
ton -the other day and, as usual, a
portion of the time was set aside for
oratory. Several speakers were engag-
ed, but each was counselled by the
managers to "carefully abstain from
politics." Had these instructions been
obeyed, it is safe to conclude that the
assembled farmers would have succeed-
ed in wasting two or three hours of
valuable time which might have been
•timed to good account. When will
this stupid notion of tabooing "politic"
he outgrown? How long before people
Will be able to make the distinction be-
• tween partizan black-guardism and
politics? It is right enough to prohibit
the former on all occasions, but what,
in the name of common sense, is the
,mitter with polities? What could more
worthily occupy the minds of intelligent
men in conclave assembled then the
discussion of the public affairs which
concern them, and the principles which
ought to govern the administration of
those affairs? This is politics -not a
"dirty pool," as ignoranCe often flip-
pantly asserts, but the noblest of all
sciences. It is humiliating to think
that in this enlightened age and country
politics and partyism are regarded in
the popular minds as. synonymous
terms.
A GOVERNMENT return recently pub-
lished shows the amounts expended by
the Dominion Government in the several
Provinoes in railway subsidies up to
June 30th of last year, exclusive of the
amountexpended on the Canadian Pa-

of Riviere du Loup branch$5,520,323 26

Ontario Nothing.
• It will thus be seen how Ontario is be-
ing bled through the medium of these
railway subsidies to provide for the
other Provinces. Ontario, through her
local Parliament and municipal bonuses,
built her own local roads, and now she
is being forced to turn in and build
roads for the other Provinces. And
still her Perliamentary representatives,
for fear of hurting- the Government on
the one side and offending their friends
in some of the favored Provinces on the
other, sit quietly in their seats and
scarcely utter a protest while their Pro-
vince is being systematically robbed for
the benefit of her less provident and
more extravagant sisters. The people o.
Ontario need not care how soon Con-
federation is " burst," for let come
what will they can not be much worse
treated than they are now under the
present rule.
Tem anxiety with which all are look-
ing forward to the coming harvest, says
the Canada Presbyterian, should teach
even the thoughtless a much needed
lesson. Whatever theory men may hold
practically they aeknowledge in this
country that national prosperity depends
upon Providence. A bountiful harvest
and good prices would be a boon to On-
tario ; a poor harvest would probably
mean a commercial panic. Much de-
pends on the next six weeks. All the
statesrnen, literary men, business men -
men of all kinds cannot add one bushel
of wheat to the amount Providence may
cause to grow. We must just wait and
see what is in store for us.

spread to other and larger forests.
New York Letter.
(From our own Correspondent.)
Nur YORK, July 21st, 1890.
The long looked for opening of the
new Croton Aqueduct, which took place
last week, has caused a great sigh of re
lief to go up from ell parts of the city.
Not only is there a much greater supply
of water in the mains for ordinary use,
but there is also an ample amount stored
up in the great reservoir in Central
Park, which can be called on in case of
a large fire or other necessity. One
thousand million gallons is the capacity
of the reservoir and this limit, it is
thought, will be reached in the course of
two weeks, when the supply will then be
ample for any emergenty. Among oth-
er things, the opening of the aqueduct
has revived the suggestion of converting
the old reservoir at Fifth Avenue and
42nd Street into a public park or place
of amusement. The idea now put forth
is to substantially floor over the reser-
voir, whose walls are 44 feet high, and
build thereon an elevated park, or air
garden, somewhat similar to the famous
"hanging gardens" of Ancient Baby-
lon. It is proposed that Bryant Part,
which occupies the remaiuder of the
block toward Sixth Avenue, be graded
up and formed into a grand approach to
the air garden on top of the reservoir.
A magnificent music pavilion is suggest-
ed as among the potsibilities, as is also
an observation tower, which would give
visitors a wide view over the whole
island.
THE HERALD TO MOVE UP -TOWN.
It is given out on good authority that
Mr. James Gordon Bennett, of the
Herald, has determined upon one of the
most important moves in the history
New York journalism. -This is noth
less than the moving of the Herald fr
the corner of Broadway and Ann Str
to Broadway and 35th street, w-hich
also the junction of Sixth Avenue. T
new property, which comprises a ern
block now covered by an old armo
has been leased for a term of 99 yea
and a new building will be erect
worthy of the occasion. It was w
known that the Herald had been loo
ing for an up -town site for a long tim
but no one thought it would venture
far as 35th street, for the reason that
the big papers and their necessary
companknents, such as the Post Offi
are located so much farther clown tow
However, as Mr. Bennett usually ed
his paper by cable, while he himself
in Europe, or elsewhere, and also run
paper in London and one in Paris, p
haps he can manage the Herald as
up -town as 35th street.
THE LATEST INFERNAL MACHINE.
South Beach, which is one of N
York's latest discovered breathing apo
is rapidly gaining great fame just n
as the place wherein is located the mo
harrowing contrivance for transporti
men, women and children, and there
obtaining the seductive nickel, that w
ever invented. It is appropriately ca
ed the "razzle-dazzle," and is one
those things that can be better imagin
than described. It is like a merry -g
round, but is much more. It reeembl
a toboggan slide somewhat, but is f
worse. It goes 'round and 'round, b
it also goes up and down. Briefly d
scribed, it is a centre pole, attached
which, by means of ropes reaching
the top, is a circular row of seat
That's all, except two or three gu
ropes, by which the infernal machine
worked. The motive power is man, an
the effect produced is a cross somewh
between a sea voyage and a balloon a
cension.
A BIG STRIXE. ;
Last week, New York was in th
midst of one of the most extenai
struggles between Capital and Labo
that has taken place in late years. Th
army of locked -out cloak makers 'wer
joined on Saturday by another army o
locked -out clothing makers, and this ac
tion on the part of the employers wa
expected to cause a general strike i
the clothing trades, affecting 25,00
people. The essence of the trouble wa
that the workingmen and women want
ed none but union members to be ern
ployed, while the manufaaturers woul
have none but non-union workmen. I
was a well defined war of extermina
tion, or life or death to the unions. Th
associations of manufacturers wen
ranged on one side againat the organi
zations of the workmen on the other
Such an unbending struggle has not
been witnessed for many a day. At
last account there was a strong evidence
that a settlement favorable to the men
was near at hand, thereby gaining full
recognition for their organizetions. The
question of wages was not involved.
RETURNED TO FACE THE MUSIC.
One of the moat general topics of the
week in all circles is the return from
Canadian exile, of the famous " bood-
lers " Moloney and DeLacy, both of
whom are under indictments for bribery
in connection with the Broadway Rail-
road Charter. Moloney hold the posi-
tion of reading clerk in the '84 Board of
Aldermen and had the handling of the
boodle by which the bribery:was accom-
plished. It is said that a stronger case
can be make against him than against
the other person concerned in the mat-
ter. Both of the above named surren-
dered themselves and wive bail in the
sum of $40,000 each. Their trials will
very likely take place in August. Of
the 22 who were indicted only those two
and one other, Dein psey,remain untried.

NORTH HURON.
We give below the names of the suc-
cessful candidates who wrote on the re-
cent Entrance Examination papers in
the district of North Huron. The arith-
metio and grammar papers were more
difficult than usual -the first question
on the arithmetic paper being particular-
ly treacherous, many candidates putting
three-quarters of the entire time allow-
ed for arithmetic on it, and then leaving
it unfinished. The first question on the
grammar paper is also too difficult for
entrants. Owing to the difficulty of
_these papers many are recommended
who really deserve to pass uncondition-
ally. The marks are given for those
who passed unconditionally. The de-
tailed list of marka. gained by those who
failed has been mailed to them.

of the Methodist churches

the contributions from the different ap-
pointments show: Londesboro,$457.25;
diinbu re, $250.10; Ebenezer, $54.31, a
total of $766.66.
-On Friday of last week Mr. Thos.
0. Cooper, of Clinton, celebrated his
82nd birthday. Though "not so young
as he used to be" he is still active and
hearty, and we hope may yet see
many more years. He has enjoyed 52
years of wedded blies, his wife still
journeying with him in "this vale of
tears."
-On Wednesday afternoon .of last
week, while Mr. L. T. Wilkie, of Clin-
ton, was assisting his father in the den-
tal surgery in that town, he met with a
painful &cadent by opening the vulcani-
zer too quickly, the escaping steam
burning his face. Had he been a few
inches further over the vukanizer it
would certainly haye blinded him.
-The financial report of Hensall
North Circuit of the ' Methodist
church, shows that for the year end-
ing May, 1890, the following sums
were contributed at the various
appointments : Kippen, $197.50 ;
Chiselhurst, $219.85 ; Fansville, $155.-
20 ; Sexamith, $137.50, a total of
$710.05.
-Mr. Wm. Rowcliffe, London road,
Stephen, met with rather an unpleasant
accident on Saturday of last week. He
was engaged in unloading hay with a
hay fork, and after letting up one fork
full he went to pull the trip rope which
broke, it being unexpected, Mr. Row-
cliffe fell off the load and in the fall dis-
located his shoulder.
-Ament Brothers, of Brussels, are
having a dry kiln built in connection
with their factory for the purpose of
drying barrel heading, lumber, &c.
The building is 20 by 60 feet, and will
be a very valuable adjunct to the en-
terprising proprietors in turning out
seasoned material instead of having to
pile it outside and wait for it to dry.
-The other day, Mrs. Andrew Ginn,
of Clinton, went into Scruton's butcher
shop in that town for the purpose of
weighing herself, and incautiously step-
ped on a hoard on topof the scale when
it tripped up, and as she fell, struck her
severely on the thigh, hurting her so
much that she had to be driven home
and is yet unable to use her leg.
-At Rev. Mr. McConnell's in Varna,
where building improvements have been
in progress for some time under direc-
tion of Mr. S. S. Cooper, of Clinton, a
quantity of lime was run of for plater.ing purposes. The other night a num-
-ber of sheep belonging to Mr. Andrew
Duncan, got into it, some of it getting
into their mouths, three of them have

Johnston, of Varna, have returned from -
Manitoba, after enjoying their pleasure
trip for about four weeks. They report
that the prospects for an abundant har-
vest in the prairie land is very good in
some localities. The dry weather has
injured the late grain to some extent,
but the recent showers have wonderful-
ly improved its appearance.
On Monday evening of last week the -
members of the Brussels town band gave
a farewell supper to Mr. Harry J. Whit-
ley,_ at the Queen's hotel. Songin
speeches,- etc.'were the order of the
evening. Mr. Whitley has been leader
of the band for about seven years. He
left on Wednesday last for Richmond,
Virginia, to fill a position there. Mrs.
Whitley and family will remain in Brus-
sels for the present.
-The Brussels Post of last week
says :-Some time ago Mr. Thomas
Taylor, of the fith concession of Grey,
purchased lightning rods from an agent
named Reeve, as his neighbor's barn
had been destroyed by lightning. The
rods were put in place and Mr. Taylor's
note given to badance the $50 expense.
Mr. Taylor was deptived of the advan-
tages of education in his youth and was
consequently unable to write his name
but made his mark. J. C. Tuele, of
Cranbrook, purchased the note and in
due timethe amount was paid by Mr.
Taylor. So far everything was straight
and business like, but to the surprise of
Mr. Taylor he received notification from
the Bank at Seaforth that a note of his
for $50 would be due on a certain date,
and asking him to provide for the pay-
ment of the same. This he refused to
