become alarmed at the evident intention Of
the advocates Of governmental endowment

Gus policy in behalf of their cause when par
lament reassembles, and implores the Liber
ais to begin agitation against it Immediately.
The strongest argument brought by the Lib
erals in opposition to denominational endow-
ment is an appeal to the rate payers showing
that the already enormously increased bur
dens which they are compelled to bear are
heavier than many of them can stagger un.
der, and that the additional taxation involved
in the proposed scheme would simply crush
them all. The situation, The News says, is
one of extreme danger, since it is unde liable
that there is large sectarian majority in
the house of commons, and as the question
has no political features the Parnellites will
obviously join hands with the Tories in push
ing the measure through, unless the Liberals
