The Roman Catholic Church is al- wnys and everywhere the same; so the proud boast of that. great ecclesiastical organization runs. The stream of his- tory since the Reformation is one con- tinuous contradiction of the claim, and current events bear the same testimony. Two of these will serve here as an illus- tration. Beaten at Parliament and at the polls in his intolerable pretension that the education of youth is a. matter un- der the control of the Church alone, Archbishop Langevin went. to Rome, and laid his case before the highest l’n- pal authority. He came back, nfiirnr ing that he had received the most com- plete endorsntion, and this is confirmed by the statement made by some of the Quebec bishops. In other words it is alleged that. the Pope and his immedi- ate advisers have resolved to stand by the hierarchy of Canada in the educa- tional struggle on which we have en- tered. This is Rome’s ecclesiastical policy for Canada. But, see what has happened, and is happening in the United States. Arch- bishop Ireland, who wishes to give Bo- mau Catholic children educational ad- vantages equal to those enjoyed by Protestant children, even'if they must attend the Public schools in order to get. them, has been formally sustained in his policy by the Vatican authorities, against the contentions of reuctionnries and ultramoutanes like Archbishop Cor- rigan, of New York. More significant still is the victory won at Rome by the parish priests of Lincoln, Nebraska. They appealed to Cardinal Sutolli, the late Papal delegate, against certain sen- tences pronounced by their bishop, and he refused to entertain the appeal. They carried the case to Rome, and their appeal has been allowed, the sen- tences passed by the bishop have been annulled, the. latter has been saddled with costs and damages, and he has been required to restore the priests to the churches, from .which he removed them. One ’of the victorious priests sums up the effect of the decision by saying that it establishes as a precedent. that the priest has rights which the bishop is bound to respect; that no or- der of a bishop, acting outside the lim- itations placed on his authority by can- onical law, is binding; and that the priest who devotes his time and talents to the building up of a. strong parish, cannot be deprived of it arbitrarily, or removed from it, except as the result of a decree pronounced after trial by a competent court of jurisdiction. [Io adds that “ for n hundred years the bishops have been a law unto them- selves; that they have wielded an arbi- trary power which has amounted to practical anarchy; and that this de- cision, against which there is no appeal, establishes the rights of the priests for. all time.” It is notorious that, in the late gene- ral election, many of the parish prions of Quebec worked heart and soul for Mr. Laurier, even in dioceses where their bishop was breathing out extreme denunciations against him. They may have been actuated in this matter by social feeling; for it is a source of le- gitimate pride to a Frenchman, whether lay or clerical, to have a French Pre. micr at the head of the Ministry of Canada. This attitude on their part has brought about a cleavage between them and the bishops which may result, as the Nebraska case did, in open run- ture. Apparently, the authorities at the Vatican have not yet learned that a new French revolution is in prourcss in Quebec, partly recrudescence of the old Gallicau ideals, and partly in consequence of the steady . propagandism of political Liberalism. but. mainly because of the influence of the great French colony in New En:- lnnd. The Province of Quebec is ur longer a hierarchical preserve. parish priest knows his people better than his bishop knows them. and is much more in sympathy with them. it is not in the least likely that he will be coerced into hostility toward them, and the statesmen of their race and choice. The situation is full of danger for the hierarchy, if not nlsn for the Vatican,‘ but the people of Canada as a whole can await the result without nanom- can .â€"â€" Toronto Stu r. " -â€"._â€"_..â€".

Tne‘upslla" ‘13.... at the Tariff. Some of the most interesting nvi deuce laid before the Tariff Cullllnlfiv siou since its arrival in Montreal seems to indicate that a little honest road work ought to be done on several sec- tions of the tariff. Whether it should be levulled up or levelled down at these points may be a nice question; but the gentlemen who have complained of its unevenness certainly appear to have made out a prima facie case in favor of its being levelled. at all events. )lr. Lear-moot with his intricate tangle of cutlery duties, and Mr. Grccnshiclds with his seven kinds of tariff on buttons, are fair examples of the difficulties that the existing schedules present, at least to nevices. A man may become learn- ed iu the interpretation of the Eryptian hieroglyphics or even of Canadian law ; but it is hardly business to insist that no one shall attempt to import. any goods into the country until he has taken a college course in custom-house complexities. The tariff ought to be made as may to understand as possible. There something wrong with the way it is written, when one duty is charged on an article in Toronto and quite another duty in Montreal. It ought not to be impossible to draft a tariff which would leave no room for dispute as to the amount of duty to be levied on any ar- ticle at all well known to commerce. This could be accomplished in two waysâ€"«by, so far as possible, imposing level duties on articles of a similar character, and by more careful delini‘ tion amplified by a more detailed speciâ€" fication. Thus the tariff might. be in- creased in size, many more articles be- in}; mentioned by name, until the limit of convenience called a halt. A careful classification of these articles under sub-' heads would render it easy to find what was wanted. Mr. Fielding; will have considerable scope for his 23:11 in recti- fying the inequalities of the tariff. in making it plain to the ordinary business man, and in bringing, kindred items to a lovelE-JIontrenl Star. 7 ii is â€"â€"-o.â€".‘ The Lumber Duties. The lumbering interests of the United. States are ixnploring the coming McKin- leyite Congress to restore the old Mcâ€" Kinley duty on Canadian lumber. They find that, with only the natural protec- tion of freight in their favor, the Cana- dian saw mills threaten to overwhelm them in their own markets; and they cry out to the good King McKinley for help. But they lose sight of one im- portant fact. The Northern mills, at least, must have Canadian saw-logs. or they cannot produce the lumber which is to supply the American demand the awful Canadians are now filling. A still Canadian export duty on them loam would prevent their flow into the Mich- igan and other American mills; and it. would be very easy to the Cmadian Govurnment to neatly olfiet any Ameri- Cau duty on lumber by just suc'i an exâ€" port duty, and thus leave the camp“- tition between the mills on the opposite sides of the boundary exactly where it is to day. If the mill men of the United States know anything of Canadian public opin- ion in the past, they will remember that there was an agitation for an expm. duty on logs in this country which rose with great force and bore the appear- ance of success just. b al'oro Con-now made lumber frco. llull Congress «lo- clined to do so. there is but little doubt that the Canadian Givorumcnt \V-Nlltl have clapped on an export duty. 'l‘hs- same feeling still exists in (hands. :i ul there has even recently been som «bio: of an agitation in luvw ol' the l:\'~_.in..' ofsuch an impel-t on the export of pulp wood. Should Congress rovers: ll~' pm- icy and put a duty on lumber. with tlll‘. wowed purpose of closing Canadian | mills and drawing Cunadltn woikoi -n l across the border, it would hi: a nurwl 1 if l’urlinment did not retaliate and pre- 1 vent the outh ofthe raw mitt-rial upon which these Axncricxn mili. live.
