Borne time ago a conple of Tor- onto oflicials caused an illegal arrest of Que Kelly. Mr. Kelly weut to court aud secured a good round lum for damages. Now the nnboly sight is seen of that city coDDiving with the two ofioiooB oScials iu an endeaTor to do Mr, Kelly out of his money. Beally, tb« moral shocks thitt the city of Totonto has been giriag n> during the, paEt few mouths are sufficient to superinduce hystericB in the most phlegmatic constitution. Mr. Tarte has been in the North- west aud has disooTernd that separate •chools are injurious to the Catholics of that province, anyway. Ue quotes figures, and tlicn plaintively remarks, "Are these not terrible?" They are terrible, Mr. Tarte. But say, is it not strange that the Catholic pre- lates of the Northwest did not dis- cover lhos« things long ago, when they were drummed incessantly into the ears of politicians by the protest- aut press ? Aud is it not strange that Mr. Tarte would not believe theu^ until he had gone and in- vestigated for himself ? Mr. Tune's peculiar blindness appears to have been of such a nature that it could only bo remedied by governmeat office salvo. Tlie Reform party is now about to enter upon a revision of the tarilT, or rather an investigation to see if it uct^ds revising. While tliny arc tak- ing evidence we would suggest that Mr. Thorp Wright of this place be givni a hearing. This giiitlein.iii liaH for some time had grievanous on this quesliun which sliould bo attended to.

This is a case where the protected inauufaotur- er has been standing in the way of his own success by over ohargiiig, and the government should pass a legislative measure making such things iiu- poBsible.

Every student of history has Dotised this slow but certain move- ment throughout the past fe n 0enturie<l< I he rianltoba School Question Settlement VViuiiipeg, Nov. IB. â€" (Special) The Tribune, recognized as the official mouthpieca of the Green way Govern- ment, publishea the followiiii; outline of the school settlement, which in regarded liere as authoritative ; '' All ichoolg are to be national, un- der provincial control, and subject to the snme reglationa and inspections. The same text books will be used and all teachers will be properly qualified by passing the provincinl examinations and taking the prcHcribed Normal school course. School work of a purely secular character will occupy the whole of the •chool day, except the lust half -hour, when the rcpreaontatives of any religious denominations will be allowed to come in and instruct tbe children belnnginf; to tlieir own deiiomiDation, provided the parents are willing to have them rem^iin. In case where the people decide not to have this relistious instruction the re- gular school work will no on till the close of the achocd hours. The principle of local option is rncoKliized throughout. The proviso that is intended to make the â- chcils satisfactory to the minority is that districts having an average attend- ance of 25 Roman Catholic childreu shall be entitled to have a teacher of their own dencjuiination, who most be fully qualified according to provincial or nsti'inal school standards. In dintricts where the children apeak French wholly, they are to have a teacher speaki.ig both French and En);lish, so that they will learn English as rapidly as possible. The reader UHed in such school will be bi- lingual, so that the children will prow up fruui the 6rjt n3:ust')inud to Easlish.
