Portland Oregonian-The trouble over
Catholic schools ir Canada is spreading
to the English provinces. In Ottawa, the
seat of the dominion government, COM
plants were made that the schools under
the charge Of the Roman Catholics hut
supported By public funds, were very
pcoi-. that the teaching was inferior, and
hat the Roman Catholics were much dis
satisfied with the instruction their chill
uren were receiving. The Ontario govern
ment appointed a commission TO inVeS-
tgate the matter, and its report is soon
10 be presented, in which the schools
under clerical charge will be severely
criticised and recommendation of re-
form viii be made. This VIII make the
English Professionals of Ontario indisposed
TO aid in the contemplated coercion of
thfir brethren in Manitoba.
Secular Thought, Toronto-There will
naturally be good deal of discussion re-
gardiDg this Manitoba school dispute be-
tween now and January next, but it
seems pretty Gel tain that If the Manitoba
government stands firmly TO their decla-
rations, they are bound to win. We i'm
agine the best thing for the Dominion
government TO do, in order to get out of
their self-made difficulty without q COM
plete back-down. viii be TO 81 re fair
solatium out of the Dominion treasury to
the Catholic hierarchy. They may be de-
penGed upon NOT 10 spend too much of
this upon the Catholic schools-they have
never been known to 90 such a thing be-
fore-and the Catholics in the long run
VIII be sure 10 find it to their interest to
send their children to the public schools,
from which source religious teaching as
is now given win be abolished when the
masses become a little more enlightened
Phladeiphi Ledger--Prince Ferdinand
of Bulgaria, mas returned TO Sofia under
peculiar conditions. The Russophiles re-
ceived him warmly in an effort to COM
nit him to their interests, but as Russia
has refused TO recognize him the national
ps.rty is also trying to get him to act
as It's head. Even the friends and follow
er's of NJ. Stambulon are ready to forgive
him if he will become a true Bulgarian.
In character he IS so weak that little
can be predicted as to his course, except
thai he will try to take care of himself.

ftire tour in America, deserves no atten-
ton from labor leaders or anybody else,
