The following warning is sent to all Departments of Lhe Provincial Gov- ernment : ' `Ilhe attention of the Governmenrt has been drawn to statements that certain officials in the employ of the Province are t:a.kin~g an active part in the political ca;mupu.ign. I think it, therefore, advisable to make it perfectly clear to all 'parties con- cerned that the desire and direction of the Government is that pwblic olcial-s will not partioi-pate in elec- hion campaigns and those who fail to heed this requirement will be held responsible for their actions. I wish to point out that the position taken by the Government in this mzmiter i-s in accord with the resolu- tion adopted by the Tiegislate As- semlbly on the 17th of M-arch, 1897. known as the Garrow resolution." -. vx, , .,_ L2,, .~,,,,u Miss Ida Camlinle Griiths passcd away on Su-nday morning.

The pasto1'a.l states further: No Catholic is at liibemy to pay all his school takes to his own school.
