But as the Mon treal Witness points out the English and Boer are not on terms of equali ty it would he made to. appear at the outset, "Englisch," says our contem- porary, "will be taught in the schools and used in the courts as the officig tanguage, but Dutch will be permitted | in the éourie where necessary, and tanght in the schools if enough par ents ask for it. It is not said that the Dutch language is to he treated on an equality with the English. It is not the path of wisdom that it should, as with no religious separa tion, the survival of the native speech, with its large possibilities of seditious falsehood, will constitute the only seri- ous obstacle to the compléte fusing of the people." This explanation is time ly and of very general interest, A VALUABLE OBJECT LESSON. The last was not heard, by any means, of the Prince of Wales' tour of Canada when he had bade the people of it good-bye and set out on the Op- Kir for England. All the incidents of his brief and somewhat hurried visit are being recalled by the exhibition in London, at the Imperial Institute, of the many trophies he received. The eastern hall of the exhibition gallery is occupied on both sides by large cases which contain the various presents received by the prince and princess in the order of their tour through the dominion. These include the stuffed caribou head, moose head, birchbark eance, sables and furs, In- dian curiosities, silver trowels (used in laying the eoruver stones of build- ings), jewelled momentoes, photo- graphs of scenery, and artistic address: ex, the whole constituting a display of at variety and merit. The institute authorities, it is sta- ted, took advantage of the royal pre sents to open a special colonial ex- hibition; and this embraces the splen- did mineral collection which attracted so much attention at Glasgow. There are 1,100 spevimens, and they cover every mineral 9 economic value. 1t is added that though mining is still in its infancy in Canada its production last veur yielded £14,260,000. In addition to the minerals, in this separate and institute corner, there is a display of fine furniture made from Canadian woods, aml pictures of vari. ous places along the route taken by thewroyal party, in travelling ever the C.P.R., and also photographs of some, of the leading tourist resorts along the line of the G.T.R. 80 that in a most effective way Canada, its territory, its resources, its advancement in the arts and suienpes, id' being magnified through this royal exhibit. It js very thought. ful of the Prince and Princess of Wales to eive the people. of England an ob ject lesson. of great interest and odu cational vale. ¥ 3 ' -- Hit CALL: FOR OFFICES. One éatse for the defeat of liberal candidates in the recent election was the attitude of some prohibitionists. They either did not vote, or they vot- od against the government candidates, os a punishment of Mr. Ross for not giving them what they wanted--a li- quor act without the referendum. Another cause was the talk of the conservatives about the public offic es. As clearly as they dared, in some & | places, it was intimated that there Would be a wholesale dismissal of the provincial officials (when they were grits), and the appointment of con servatives in their places. The Advertiser says that in the Low don election the spoils system oceu- pied a large place in the conserva- tive didate's plans. In Homilton the otgan of the party announced that "the opposition was about to open an establishment for the issue of liguor licenses and the distribution of offices. "Wait for it," said the Spectator, "and examine the * Vatock belore placing your order ¢lse- where," and the party that presumed 16 'Arafie in; license demanded and sxperted the support of the temper ance people.

England did not start, in South Af rica, a war of conquest. The empire had large interests in the dark eon tinent, and in Cape Colony and Na tal a territory of the most valuable | kind. It had, too, an interest in the Transvaal, though not pushing it and not asserting it in an aggressive way It was the Transvaal that brought on the war. It denied to the Outlanders the rights that were theirs. It denied to England the voice that was hers in expressing ber people's feelings. It re alized that the Boer movement was aggressive and had to be checked. The governments of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State had designs upon the British colonies, and Kruger's ul timatom meant the assumption lordship over all Southern Africa. Great Britain has been simply fending her interests in South Africa, and incidentally, by her succese, be of her enemies of de- comes the conqueror Perhaps the empire pow and costly enough in its de fence. But the question of expense will never hinder Britain in the per formance of a duty. She is to-day commanding the world's applause be cause of her humane treatment of the Boers. Their surrender carries with it concessions that no other nation has been known to make, These conces sions were not wrung from her. They were granted agreeably, cheerfully, as a result of the desire to make the Boers a happy, a prosperous and a contented people, "i &,; Mark the contrast in thi $hifippines. The war there has been one of quest. It originated out of the desire of the United States to hurt Spain as much as possible. The Cuban war did not involve the war in the Philip pines, and so its creation and tinuance has been a reflection upon the American people. They would be for- tunate were they out of the Philippines with the same honors that have gone to Britain, and while this war goes on, with all its painful revelations, it is not in good taste for an American paper to speak as the Watertown Times has done of affairs in South Africa. is big enough con- con- ---------------- EDITORIAL TIPS.

Mr. Whitney has asserted that if forty per cent of the reports that reached him had been verified he would have been alected premier. What a lot of stuff he must have been sent ! Mark Hanna's observation to the tariff 'agitators of the United States is being generally quoted. It is, "Let well enough alone," and it is a sig nificant apswer to the senseless cry of, "It's time for a change."

Hamilton Herald. Those conservative journals which are predicting that the Ross govern- ment will soon be forced to resign, or that there will be another provincial general election before long, are mak- tng mischief. By raicing false hopes and encouraging an unsettled feeling in political circles they are helping to keep business conditions in an unset tled state. Basiness men, tories as well as grits, were hoping for brisker trade as soon as the election excite ment was over: I by artificial stim: ulus the election excitement is to con- tinue during the summer business men will have cause to complain. The wisest plan is to look the facts and probabilities in the face and frankly recognize them. The facts are that the Ross government, even if it provi to be in a minority in the next legislature, need not resign office until the legislature meets, and it need not call the legislature together until next year. The strong probabilities are that the Ross government will have a majority in the new legislature, that whe legislature will not meet until next January, and that there will not be another general election Chis year, Even if the result of the recounts is to give Mr. Whitney a majority of one oF 'two, theré is nothing io compel the government, either to resign or to make another appeal to the people be fore the house meets, And it may be taken for granted that the government will not quit office mntil it is forced to quit. The sensible course for the conserva- tives is, therefore, to recognize the fact that there is ne prospect of a change of government this year, a Fifteen Cheese A Day.
