The agitation over the belgian Education Act
continues and becomes more interesting as It
demonstrates with increased emphasis the exist
cncc in the Belgian Liberals OF that peculiar
political ncapacty and pcrycr,l,y which has so
often banicd the most serious efforts of the
Latin races 70 found or maintain free in~titu-
tons. Aud because the Bel Sian situation really
turnsaltogcthcr upon the pr, ,cucc and influence
of this strange and mysterious disability the
case is one for Interested observation. The
complaints of the Liberals about the effect OF
the new law may be well founded. 1t may be true
that ii is calculated to strengthen the hands of
the Ccricals greatly, and that in the rural towns
and communcs it will give them control OF the
schools 1t may also be, a. the Liberals assert,
that tins strengthening of the Roman Catholic
influence would be dangerous and threatening
to the liberties of the people But how do the
Belgian Liberals deal with what they regard as
an attack on their libcrtcSG Instead of pro-
cecdmg as an Anglo-SaXOn people would. to
fight their advcrsaries cOnstitutOnaly; instead
of agitating for popular majority at the next
elections; instead of devoting their energies to
beating the Clericals at the polls and so sccur-
ing the repeal or alteration of the obnoxious
law, they at once have recourse to uncOnsti-
tutiOnal, illcgtimate and anarchic methods Of
opposition.
Knowing perfectly well that the King has no
option, but must sign bill which has been
duly enacted by both houses, they nevertheless
endcavOr to intlmidate and cOerce the King
into violating the constitution by refusing his
signature to the law Failing in this, they
threaten instruction, and incte to tumults,
and employ buster and denunciation and all
manner of methods which are wholly foreign to
the political contentious of AnglO-SaXOns 1t
may perhaps be said That the Belgian situation
is aggravated by the peculiar virulence which
always charactcrizcs religious pOlcmics But i'll
truth the strife between liberalism and cleri-
caiism is very old and familiar affair, and
while it certainly does tend to make politics
more rancorous than they would otherwise be,
tnere Is nothing in the passage of the Educa-
ton Act to carry men out Of themselves, or to
explain OF Justify the present recourse to un
constitutional and seditious forms of agitation.
The Belgian Liberals pursue n system of GOV

the long run. That being the case, the Liberals.

The elements of the competition which the
British manufacturers hope To force ON MS
through the e. adjustment of free trade by the
election of Democratic Congress aud lrc,l-
dent are: the pest and cheapest of coal undcrly-
ing their entire island incNhausthlc ore, of
nom tim and copper. Grc-clay and pottery clay ;
more accumulated money than any other Nation
possesses the most and best machinery In the
world the lowest rates oi interest; cities and
village, crowded with an iucNhaustiblc stool,
Of skilled cheap labor; more ships tDan all the
rest of the world has with the advantage to
each of ballast for outward voyages, coal,
which can bc sold for cash everywhere. COmpc-
tirou You can't dodge II, friends, the enemy,
if Grover Cleveland Is elected and mere is a
sample of it in the nail-making business.
Within seven miles of birmingham, the home
of John Bright, leading British irce-tadcr,
2l,OOO people are making nails and rivets.
OF these 5000 are daughters working by the
side of mothers little girls hammcrlng the lives
and sweetness out of themselves from half
past seven in the morning till late at night.
And for what wages One Industrious family
Of three earned last year - - per week. Those
are the wages which British free trade may
bring American nai-makcrs down to, if Grover
Cleveland be elected. Meat is almost unknown
TO these wrctched victims of monopoly. Bread
is the sole food of large proportion of them.
Home has no meaning for them. They are
herded like animals in quarters in which de-
cency is impossible and cleanliness unknown.
The childhood of these enslavcd men and
women is premature old age. Their old age is
despair, enlvened occasionally by screaming
drunkenness.
British free trade will establish just such n
class in this country and Grover Cleveland is
an advocate of British free trade.

NOT 4 ClSE FOR IEYIEyCY

While a Mount Morris theatre was crowded
the other evening, some malicious wretch
cried Fire y and almost caused panic. For
tunatcy the actors retained their presence of
mind, and as the source of the cry was quickly
pointed out the audience settled back in their
seats. But the probabilities were the other way.
If an alarm of fire is started in crowded build
ing it is more likely that it will get beyond
control before ii can be allaycd than that it will
be stopped ut the outset 1t appears that the
man who raised the cry at Mount Morris WAS
curious to see what would happen. No doubt
he had read somewhere OF panic in n the
afro, and how the maddcncd people tramplcd
one another to death, and piled up twenty deep
