The Canadian parliament, they think, therefore, to be true to the principles which form the very basis of its existence, should never countenance apy unprogressive and intolerant practices on the part of institutions which style themselves as "national." It is urged that because the major- ity of the Canadian people are Chris tinps, the practice of discrimination on the part of Queen's is justifiable. To prove the fallacy of the argu- ment, | shall show how the principle involved in it would work out if ap- plied to other instances. Would it not be correct, according to it, to claim that if the majority of the Canadian Christians were found to be, say, Ca- tholies, it would be justifiable to ex clude Protestants from holding office in the college? Or again, would not the fact of the numerical superiority of Christians to others, be a plausible reason for the exclusion of non-Chris- tians also from having votes, or from running for office in any of the Cana- x- [dian legislative bodies ? Or still fur "ithe ftracts from the 'Canadian Mining { Journal" and from the organ of the j Canadian Baptists. Surely, after bav- ing read all these expositions of the : ts of the opponents of the 'hill, you cannot be sincere when you 'gay that you are still in the dark as 'to why the bill was not passed with- 'out fights being waged over it in par- tliament.

London, March 15.--An interesting change in court precedence has been ordefed by hing George wheigby the rank with their husbands. littherto the wives of ambassadors to the court of >t. James had no rank of their own. If they attended the courts unatlend- ed by their husbands they were ob- lijel to take a low position io the procession, coming after the junior ministers. Fhe conibaned indisposition of Wittelaw Reid, the American ambas- sador, as well as the iliness of Mar- quis Jmperali, the Italian ambassa- dor, placed the wives of these two diplomats in an embarrassing posi tian. At the last court Mrs. Reid refrained from attending. King George immediately cut this red tape, and through the master of ceremonies issued the new order re- ferred to this week, so that Mrs. Reid could be able to personally present her countrywomen at Thursday aight's function. It is not expected, however, that she will be present, as she is remaining with her husband at West Park, where the ambassador is confident he will be able to shake ofi he bromekftis from which be is sui- fering, and which he has been unablg o get rid of in London, COUNTESS OF WARWICK, The English Socialist peeress, who ig now in the United States on a lectur- ing tour, A BLACK PICTURE PAINTED. ---- Regarding Education in the Province - of Quebec. Montreal, March 15.--A black out- look for Protestant education in Que- bec province was presented at the Montreal presbytery by Rev. J. A. MacFarlane, superintendent of home missions for the Montreal and Ottawa presbyieries. He declared that the Protestant rural schools were being wiped out, and that with them the country congregations and missions must go to ruin. He declared that four-fifths of the English-speaking Pro- testant families who are being driven out of the province were leaving be- cause of the school difficulty, since they had to give up otherwise suitable homes because they could not get pro- per education for their families. Asa result, 'Rev. Mr. MacFarlane said 1, 500 Protestant children were in Ca- tholie schools, while of 700 Protestant rural schools 300 were not open ten months in the year, and many of these were ineflicient, and of S00 teach- ers more than half had no certificates, while at least 300 were not only un- certilicated but unqualified. The pay of teachers in Protestant schools was even worse, in Stanstead averaging $162 a vear, less than a domestic ser vant. The result was a constant pro- cession of inefficient teachers through the schools, with equally ineflicient teaching, which made the Protestant people of the province thoroughly dis- satisfied. While Rev. Mr. MacFarlane undoubt- edly showed a statement of conditions which are driving Protestants from many districts of Quebec, they are the result of small communities of Protes- tants segregated amidst French Ca- tholic populations, so that there are not enough Protestant families to sup- vort good schools. This ix one of the factors driving the Protestant Fing- lish-speaking population out of the rural districts of Quebec. KUBELIK WORTH MILLION, Story of Young Bohemian's Life Reads Like Fiction.
