and ex-Ministers, deputations and con.f.f

110111.3 useful lessons from their past failures.
The addresses of Mr. Forster at Bradford and
provoked the ire of the
Manchester have
advocates of unsectarisa education, because he
simply iguered the question of questions with
them—the payment of fees in denominational
schools. campusion, says Mr. Forster, will
ultimately be mcessaey throughout the country,
and the partial experiments now being made in
this direction are mainly useful as supplying
data on which a universal scheme may be bawd.
i lit it is bee oleo of the compulsory education in
the distance that the agitation obtains
for securing if possible that norm of
the ratepayers' money shall be expended in
: Abisitsbury
teaching religion. And, while the simple Pall=
ea ailing of the Bible, with such ordinary (Audi- Itinuiford..
dation as would be given a chapter from the t.llll":.rite.,::

would probably meet the wishes of the majority, cane
there are many by whom such all indefinite COfUCStIC
.1
religion would be regarded as irreligion, and ' Cr anborne :
meet their most strenuous opposition. What- D.rdrter • • -
ever Mr. Forster may think ou this subject, he
kept silence; his addresses took a higher range, ie.nie Minster
treating with the subject of secondary education. li).llrei•Nce,••
There exist already a largo number of schools meth. Abbas ..
maintained by a vast aggre,,ato of endowineuts,
which only require to bo reconstructed in con-
formity with the knowledge and the require- saarte.bury
moats of the time in order to supply exactly igit'erMee.•
what is wanting so far as regards the particular Stalneido
district in whick they are situated. Every S"nUi..lCr
c:ass of the populatiou would be provided for, ••
from the tradesman or skilled artisan who will
contrive by strict economy to keep his boy at w‘yie.anh
school till fifteen up to the professional man or ‘‘imb'rue
the well-to-do farmer who as willing to give a I
clever son a chance of getting a scholarship at I
Oxford or Cambridge. In Dorset there are many
school endownieuts whose present application
I vLry inadequately meets the needs of th-eile times,
I but which re-orgauisatioa would render of the
highest value, especially to the hard-workiug
struggling middle-class, for whose children at
present but the weakest educational provision is
now offered. If the Endowed School Commis-
sioners can but be accelerated in their work
imfinite good will come of their labours. It is
satisfactory, therefore, to find that Mr. Forster's
thoughts are passing onwards from the elemen-
tary education to the consideration how to com-
plete that cducational ladder of which the lowest
round is in the parish school and the highest in
the Universities.
The press of work occ isdnied by the Eleinen-
tary Education Act, has directed attention to
the incogruous duties of Mr. roister, as Vice-
Pr -sident of the Privy Council. He is the
Minister who has the largest share in adminis-
tering National Education, and he also has to
look after—but don't—the importation of foreign
cattle and various other widely different matters.
With all his energy, Mr. Forster cannot be ex-
pected to discharge efficiently the heterugenoo us
duties of his office, and we have to lament
especially his inability to cope with questions
affecting agrioulturists,for had vigorous measures
been adopted, we should not now be so alarm-
ingly plagued with the foot and mouth disease
throughout the country. It is absolutely neces-
sary that a Minister of Agriculture be appointed
and we hope tho Farmers Clubs of Dorset will
this winter re-agitate tho subject, and now that
tho time and attention of tho Minister having
charge f agricultural subj:cts are so fully occu-
pied with national education, we in iy reasonably
hope that a combined appeal from the Chambers
of Agriculture and tho Farmers' Clubs of tho
country would ensure the establishment of a
Ministry of Education and a Ministry of Agri-
culture.

The calamitous strike among the engineers of
Newcastle, which has endured for the last three
months, is believed to be happily tetminated.
The substance of an agreement arrived at on
Saturday is, that the masters concede the hmrs
demanded by the men—namely, fifty-four hours
per week, and the artisans, in their turn, agree.
to work 57 h mrs per week until the lit of
.1 alma! y next, and afterwards ti claim n
overtime until the at eekly panel of 51 hours bo
completed. Wages to remain the Lune as before
the strike. The agreement is to be for twelve
mouths, with power, however, to either party to
put an cud to it at the end of six mouths, by
givin2 four weeks' previous notice. Speaking of
the Newcastle strike, we observe that Colonel
Towline has cropped up again with the bars of
silver which he was so anxious to get corned
some time ago, and for refusing to coin which he
brought an ineffectual suit against the Master of
the Mint (now idoutical with the CimucJller of
the Exchequer). The Colonel offered one of
these bars to the Newcastle strike committee on
condition that they get it coined, and the work-
men, having accepted the conditional gift, applied
to Mr. Gladstone, with regard to the coining.
The Premier has referred them to Mr. Lowe, and
it will be interesting to watch how he gets out of
the difficulty.
The miners are e‘ idently not satisfied with
the action of the present Government in regard
to the Mines Itegulatios Bill, and the 'recent
conference at Merthyr, before separating, pro-
posed a chsracteristic remedy. They passed a
resolution in favour of establishing a guarantee
fund to defray the election expenses of
one or more miners' candidates for seats in Par-
liament, and of their maintenance iu London
during the session, should they be elected.
The directors of the Bank of England on Sa-
turday advanced the rate of discount to five per
cont. Though such a maveuient was known to
be contingent upon a continued withdrawal of
bullion, the change was not anticipated. The
rise will no doubt CAUSO an increased influx of
gold from France, it is hoped sufficient to meet
, the German demands upon our resources.
Europe is iu a quiescent state, so far as the
sui-disaat Peace Congress of Lausanne will allow.
France is disarming her national guard, putting
oil livancial difficulties, trying to modify the
terms of the commercial commotion with Ger-
many relative to Alsace-Lorraine, and looking
to the election of tie Uouaoll-Geucil in which
the Imperialists are hopeful of are-action in their
favour. Though Prince Bismarck has shaken
hands with Count lleust,theSchavonic and clerical
element has got the upper hand in the local
diets and Reicharath of Austria. and the German
subjects of the Kaiser are in a dangerous state of
discontent, Bohemia raising tho cry for home
rule. 'fat secret of binding together the various
nationalities of Austria is so far an hopeless
quest. The King of Italy has been making a
successful visit to Venice, and his second son,
Amadeus /., has turned the heads of th 3 Spanish
people in his royal progress- In Germany the
ecclesiastical war goes on. Though the Govern-
ments favour the old Catholics, Dr. DO:linger
Marinas from extreme measures, old probably
more vigorous men will oust Mau in the leader-
ship, and carry out a bolder programme of
