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. emesetememenmee.„. 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. 1111,111•11mMINIMInimmmumn 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- cific Relilway main line and Sault branch, which are, admittedly, for the general good ; the accounts., stand as follows : Ontario Quebec New Brunswick Nova Scotia British Columbia $1,970,846 2,428,344 890,118 1,115,812 750,000 And for the several railways built by the Dominion in each Province, in ud- •ing Intercolonial branches and e n- ame, but not the main line as originally constructed :- Quebec, including purchase of Riviere du Loup branch$5,520,323 26 New Brunswick 3,371,854 74 Nova Scotia ..... 7,821,070 19 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.

Twelve hundred men of the Munich garrison have been sent to fell the entire forest and burn the timber. In this way it is hoped to get rid of the worms and prevent their 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 $40,000 each. Their trials will very likely take place in August. Of the 22 who were indicted only those two and one other, Dein psey,remain untried. Jahne is serving out his term in Sing Sing, and the rep* tre free. BOOK PUBLISHING CONSoLIDATED Following the held of other hti$inz-,ses all the publishers ct's luw-priceri nrweb: and standard works have combined ;Ind formed a single corporation to be k:Juwil. as the United SLaies Thiuk C ituiney The object is to stop competition, whicii publishers declare has been ruinoun and all the publication will be done at one place, the Lovell establishment in this city. The new company has absorbed all the business in low-priced publica tions, which has been heretofore car- ried on by twenty-two concerns, Hurst, Alden, Lovell, Dodd, Mead & Co.'Bel- ford, Clarke & Co., Lippincott, Hub- bard, blunroe and Munsey.

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. CLINTON. Adams, Thos. E.

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 and James A rs are r.g and Mrs. T. 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.
