A new trouble mevaces the imperial rovernment. It arises from the un wpularity of the educational bill to vhich the conservative leaders appear to be committed. This bill purposes to make the rate ayers, whe already support the na- ional or board schools, contribute al maintenance of denomina ional schools. There is no doubt that 0 to the nuch can be said for the proposal from and It is certain, however, those the view point of the Anglicans he Catholics, that the believe Nonconformists and that should be non-sectarian, will denounce who state education the present ministry for receding from the position taken by an earlier con Lord Salisbury, which to impose the burden firmly declined of vonal schools upon the ratepayer. The political results of such a nunciation will be obvious when de we recall that the last two victories the unionist party at general elections were due largely to the fact that, un ot der Mr. Chamberlain's leadership, a English Noneconformists voted unionist candidates.

The most welcome of all news reach wd the city on Sunday, the news that at the council in Pretoria, on Satur. day evening, between Lords Kitchener and Milner on one side and the Boer leaders, Dewet, Botha, Steinberger and others, the terms of peace had been signed. A great burden of anxiety is lifter] off the heart, and intense as the relief in Canada it is as nothing compared with the feeling which vails in England. It is over two and a half since the the Boers is pre years between and British reached an acute stage. There was a period dur- ing which the sharpest controversy was carried on, a period during which the Duteh spirit was manifesting itself more and more, with the final refusal to compromise or conciliate and a command. to. the- British. troops to Inave the Transvaal. The republic had been preparing for war for a long time, and now decided that the time for action had come. The ultimatum was quickly followed by the forward movements of troops southward differences and westward, and it resulted presently in the beloagurement of Mafeking and, Ladysmith, whose troops, under Ba den-Powell and White, distinguished themselves for valour and endgrance. The fest still collision took 'place betwen Gen. Viljoen's forces and Sir Penn Symons' at Tagula Hill, where the British lost heavily. Gen. Yule succeeded Sir Penn Symons and Jed his troops to Ladysmith where the garrison now became thirteen thou: sand. In the meantime the battle of Elandslaagte was fought, with dire consequences to: the Boers. They lost by capture some of their best men, in- cluding the German expert and artil- lerist, Capt. Schiel. With the evacuation of Dundee Sir Redvers Buller was appointed to the command of the British troops, "and expected to get his Christmas dinner at Pretoria. When he landed in Cape Town Ladyswith was besieged. Jou- bert 'was raiding Natal, and Boers were being mobilized in the Free | State.

At a meeting in claimed that the prohibitionists were responsible for changing the result of five out of seven constituencies that turned against the At the same time pleasure was expressed that three conservative prokibitionists were élécted, ove of them being Mr Crawiord, who trimmed on the prohibi tion question, while Mr. Marter, who was true to principle, was defeated.
