The new apt, which has just béen passed by the lords, somewhat unex- compulsion, (its terms have not been explained on this sido the water), legal enactments. This is a marvel in itself, seeing that the British working- men have had the guidance of some of the wisest men in public life, and that some very advanced legislation has heen passed in their behalf. with regmrd to labour troubles. It whey it has been put 'in operation. ut the ol 'the labour buregu are sometimes refused. They were not desired in the Buckingham trodblos. and the more's the pity since there: was a loss of life for which some one should be held to ac- count. They were not made use of in the Lethbridge strike for un time, and all the while the contingencies of the strike were becoming the more dis. tressing. New Zealand has provision in law for comcilintion and arbitration. The first device is used as far as possible. employed when conciligtion has failed, but it has been resorted to occasionally, and with this result, 'that there has ben no strike or lock-out in New Zealan i since 1894." Something like this com- pulsory legislation is required in Canada to make its labour conditions more tolerable than they are at pre- sent, Profani.y In France. Cardinal Gi has been surprised that the Ameri people, so alive veually to' acts of tyranny and op- pression, have not expressed any sym- pathy with his church in respect to the treatment it is receiving from the French government. The grievance of the government originally, (not Clem- but b's predecessor), was that in its teaching it was not loyal to the republic. Hence the proceedings which have led to the complete separ- ation of church and state. There is more than separation, how- ever; there is suppression, and confis- cation. All the institutions of the Catholic people, the churches, semin- aries, hospitals, and ecclesiastical re treats have been seized and become public property. These properties can be used hereafter, but under conditions that dispense with their sacred and religious character. Their associations have been disregarded and even de secratod. The cardinal holds that the govern: ment of France is not seeking to de- stroy the church, but religion itself, and he quotes from the speeches of two leaders of thought in support of this statement. M. Jauries, in the Chamber of Deputies, declared that if God Himself appeared "'the first duty of men would be to refuse Him obedi- ence, and to consider Him not as a [| master, but an equal with whom men may agree." M. Briand, "the minister of public worship." addressing the school teachers lately, said: (The time has come to root up from the minds of French children the ancient faith, which bas * served its purpose, and replace it with the light of he "| reflects that if Patrick, a lawyer, un- | jmasr'nal ] capes: hin punishment then no one 'in pectedly, may have the: element of longer blindfolded and. ifipartial ?

' In reply to Lord Rosebery's some what hysterical objection to the re- moval of the Scots Greys from Scot- land, Mr. Haldane, the war secretary, stated to a Scotch deputation that waited on him the other day, that there was no intention to denational- ize the Scots Greys, but Piershill bar- racks, at Edinburgh, were insanitary and could not be made suitable for cavalry barracks, and he could not see his way at present to propose the ex- penditure. of £200,000 on the construc- tion of new barracks elsewhere in Scotland. 3 -- Winnipeg has expressed itself as favourable to a mumicipul phone sys- tem.
