There are multitudes in every nation who con tribute nothing to its public opinion; who never give a serious thought to public affairs, who have no spontaneous wish to take any part in them; who, if they are induced to do so, will act under the complete direction of indi- Viduals or organizations of another class. The landlord, the clergyman", or priest, the local agitator or the public house heeper, will direct their votes, and in a pure democracy the art of winning and accumulating these votes will be one of the chief parts of prac tical politics. 11 1\!'..._-_A. _...A.!_.... ._II L- ........I-..-.1 BANKERS, ....... ,. ...... -.

If the government fail in this duty it is gniltyuof _ both a blunder and \ a crime. If the product of a system of schools in one portion of the country be men who will give up their right to think and act for` themselves as respon- sible citizens, but who have votes to be used at the dictation of bishop or priest, and who believe that` the priest has power to strike them dead at the -ballot box should they dare disobev his com- mand then that system is an element _of danger and a mensceto public liberty. The country is being threatened by this danger to-day by the action of -the hier-' archy of Quebec. Nothing could morei strongly impress upon the mind of any thinking man the seriousness of the re- sults of relegating to a church the con- trol of the education of a large body of - the people than the history of the M ani- toba school question. has developed. Instead of harmony it has created dis- cord. instead of wide and liberal views it produces a narrow selshness, instead ` of intelligenceand sound learning, there are ignorance, bigotry and superstition, instead of neighborliness and esteem it nourishes suspicion and hatred. The determinationto force such a system on Manitoba has kept the whole coun- try in trouble and turmoil for many months, retarding all healthy develop `ment and exciting passion and enmity. N 0 country can properly progress with such a pernicious system as now exists - in Quebec. Sooner or later a sound system of education for` all the people of Quebec and the whole country will be esmblished under the control and supervision of the government. but the people will be guilty of unpardonable folly if in the coming elections they `do not by their votes tender the enforce- ment of separate schools on to Manitoba, and their extension to the North-West, an impossibility.

I_'read_ the local papers and I d6 not remember seeing in the coun- cils proceedingsjany reference to such - petitions. I well remember when Col- lier street was boulevarded}that Reeve Cross and" councillor ,Ande_i-ton were roasted by some of the tax payers for such improvement, as both of these gentlemen were in the council and both resided on -that street. Some. two or three yearsago John street was boulei 4 varded. .1 see that this spring Bayeld -street from nWellington to North John street 'has' been similarly improved, and now High street has been thus improved. I would like to know what determines the Board of Works` in selecting the streets torthis improve- ment, that is, why should Bayeld street and High street_ have been chosen, rather than Toronto street, Mary street or any other residentiahstreet in the town? 1, or any other citizen can understand why Dunlap`, Elizabeth and Bradford streets should have the large sums of money they are getting by way of improvement. It is necessary and in the general interest, but the way the boulevarding is done puzzles me. Please offer some explanation. Yours sincerely, MCDONALD Srasnr. Not being in the Municipal Cabinet we are unable to explain what our correspondent asks. We do not think the council has been petitioned for these improvements, but there is no doubt the council would favourably consider a petition of the residents on any street for such improvements. It is not done by frontage tax,` but the occupant of any lot on a boulevarded street is expected to seed it or sad it and keep it in good condition. the streets our correspondent names were chosen in preference to others we have no means of knowing. Perhaps Mayor Bothwell or the chairman of the Board of works could give the necessary information, as both gentle- men are courteous and obliging.- [ED.

Gmv'rLEMEN,--Having been unanimously chosen by` the Liberals of this riding as their candidate for the House of Commons, I beg to solicit your support. The most important matter before the People in this contest is the trade question. 1`he so-called National Policy has been fully tried and has been proved to be a failure. It has impoverished the whole country to make a few wealthy. It has driven thous- ands of our best citizens out of the country, and there is no longer any excuse for its continuance. T I am in favor of a tarilf for revenue only, while fully recognizing that in making a change it should be lone grad- ually. with as little disturbance to trade as possible. - din tiI`|f:!Il`I1 nu-nun-or` I-A I-`no nnrndnann UDI IIIB III BKVIJIIIVIIIUI-III, _ClI\.I Ill IIlIllVUlI IIIUWHQ ~ The question of provincial rights, for which we in Ontario have so successfully contended in the past is again on its trial with reference to the Province of Manitoba.
