The unequal contest between the Fall
River manufacturers and their employees has
ended, as everybody knew it must, in the
surrender of the strikers and their return
to work. The strikers have lost several
weeks wages, and have gained nothing. 1t
is to be said to their credit that they have
conducted their contest in strictly lawful
way, refraining from violent acts and, with
very few exceptions. from intimidation by
threat or otherwise Of those who saw fit to
work. A large measure of public sympathy
has been with them both on account of their
good behavior and on account of an impress
sion that there was certain amount of jus
tice in their complaints. Bat their method
Of redressing their grievances was badly
selected and was certain to fail. There
ought to be some way of settling the differ
ences between employers and employees that
does not involve such waste and suffering as
that at Fall River, and there surely will be
when the relations between employers and
and employed are what the highest interests
of both dictate that they should be.

Ihe IesuIt,s estates Act.

The Protestants of Ontario are unwonted-
ly disturbed over the Jusnits estates act, Of
the Province of Quebec, now before the
Dominion Parliament for disallowanee.
The status of this act is as follows: 1t
passed the Quebec Provincial Parliament
about year ago. But it is popularity of
the Canadian system Of government that the
central or Dominion government may, under
certain circumstances, dsallow or veto an act
OF Provincial government The Quebec Par
lament, almost wholly dominated by the
Catholic hierarchy of the province, passed
this act, which in its historical and its pres
ent relations will repay some attention The
Jesuits were the pioneers of Canada, and
the early history of the order there was
most glorious, as the glowing pages of Park
man attest. Wealth and power became its
portion until the memorable hour on the
Plains of Abraham when the power of
France in Canada was broken. Even under
the English the Jesuits continued in possess
sion of their property until after the order
was denounced by the Pope. In 1774, when
the English conquerers restored to the
French of Quebec their old laws, one i'm
portant exception was made. The Jesuits
''~-~ NSs ohOUCO W io-pOocCoo buelT estates,
winch remained the property of the Imperial
government OF Great Britain. In 1900 the
Parliament of Quebec, dominated entirely
by Catholic influence, represented to the
king Of England the desirability of restoring
the Jesuit property TO the order. King Will
liam ~ replied that the estates would be
given to the Parliament of Quebec provided
they were used for educational purposes
only. And so they were used until last year.
when the now famous Jesuits Estates Act
was passed by the Quebec Parliament. This
act appropriates four hundred thousand dol.
lars Of restitution to the Jesuits and coupled
With the appropriation is the rroyision, very
odious TO the Protestants of Canada, that
the money shall be disposed of according to
the wishes Of the Pope of Rome. A despatch
from Rome published Wednesday morning
brings the information that the money shall
60 as follows: 100000 to the Jesuits; $780,
900 to the Catholic bishops and $4,000 to
Montreal University. Although the act was
passed year ago, the Protestahts do not
seem to have organized opposition to 1t I'M
til the present time. The political leaders of
both parties in the Dominion Parliament
are against disallowing the actt and the Lib
eral leaders have formally reprimanded the
Toronto Globe, the organ of their party, for
agitatng the question. But the Globe has
rephea oenantly, and is printing full and
complimentary reports Of the Protestant
mass meetings that are held to denounce the
political leaders for what is termed their sur
render to the Catholic church and the
Pope.

The criticism that Mr.. Robert T. Lincoln
is the son of his father and that this is the
chief reason Of his selection fortheimportant
mission to England, is unfair. Mr.. Lincoln,
If not man of brilliant parts. has filled
every position that he has been called to,
with great credit to himself and acceptance
10 the people. His administration of the
war department won nothing but praise.
In his profession as a lawyer be has been
very successful and won place among the
leading members of the bar Of the great city
of Chicago. That there are other men
whose nomination as minister to England
would strike the country as more brilliant
than his, is true. But we are inclined to
think that time will show that in selecting
Mr.. Lincoln the President made no mistake.

The right of parent to educate his child

things which cannot safely be interfered

DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMENTS
Bangor Whig.l
Among all the prominent appointments Of
President Harrison thus far it seems to us
that his nomination for the position of Min
lister to England will be most disappointing
to the high public expectations raised by the
mention of such shining names as those Of
Justice Miller, William M. Evarts, Chauncey
M. Depew and Whitelaw Reid. The news
paper reports that the President declined to
send Whitelaw Reid TO the Court of Saint
James because he desired minister of the
highest order of ability, did not prepare the
public for the designation of ex-Secretary
Lincoln, who has had no diplomatic or Of
ficial experience except rather ordinary
term of service as Secretary of War.
1t seems to us that the selection OF such
masters of thought and such forceful ex-
ponents of American ideas as Murat Hal
stead, named for the German mission, Allen
Thorpdike Rice, for Russia, and the Editor
of the Tribune for France, shine out very
brilliantly beside that of Mr.. Lincoln for
Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Ex-
traodinary to the principal Court of the Old
World.
Certainly the profession of journalism has
no reason to fear that its representatives
will suffer by comparison with those selected
from any other.

exodus from Southern Kansas into the fertile
fields of Oklahoma as has seldom been wit
messed in this or any other country. Almost
all the people of Southern Kansas are in
light marching order, ready to start the
moment the clock strikes the opening Of the
day on which the Presidents proclamation
goes into effect. What will happen in
Oklahoma when the mighty throng that is
preparing to move gets there remains to be
seen. but If there is not good deal of push
ing and crowding and perhaps fighting the
public will be agreeably surprised.
