ture during the afternoon the motion
dealing with the separate schools
remedial order. as given out in the
house on Thursday, was the first mat
ter taken up. Premier Greenway, in
moving the adoption of the resolution
which was to be Manitoba's answer to
the Dominion government regarding
separate schools, spoke for three'quar-
ters of an hour, and was listened to
with close attention by members and
also by a large audience in the gal
leries. Premier Greenway said he
merely proposed to introduce the mat
ter to the legislature, leaving the full
discussion of the subject to members
who might follow. him. There had
been no desire on the part OF the Mani
toba government so far as he knew, or
on the part of their followers, to run
hurriedly into the discussion of the
important subject. Some of the separ.

dial order from Ottawa was made pub
lie and ask the views Of the people on
the subject. But the government did
not adopt such a course, as he was of
the opinion that such question as this
could be discussed outside Of political
campaign. Premier Greenway's speech
was heartily applauded at the conclu-
sion.
Mr.. Armstrong, who represents .
French Catholic constituency in the
legislature, was the first member Of
the opposition to reply. His attack on
the government was a very mild one,
chiefly confined to the point that it was

that they. were in favor. Of national
schools, but that it was their only SAL
walton at present to pursue that policy.
Attorney General Sifton arose at 4:30
to second the premier's motion. His
address was continued until late in the
evening. The. constitutional side of
the question was dealt with in all its
phases, the attorney general taking the
position that the latest Judgment of
the imperial privy council was not
mandatory on the Dominion govern
ment; it did not command them to act
or not to act. Manitoba, he asserted,
should not comply with the terms Of
the remedial order and maintain an ef-
f1cient school system such as young,
growing province demanded.

ELECTRIC CARRIAGE A SUCCESS.
Speed Of Eleven Miles an Hour II Made at q
Trial Trip at Kansas City.

A horseless Garage went skimming
along the smooth asphalt of Four
teenth street in Kansas City filling
Mother shipton's prophecy, "that
carriages without horses shall go, "and
terrifying two negroes who saw sparks
and apparently sulphurous flames
issuing from under it. The vehicle
was an electric carriage of Kansas
City invention and manufacture, the
only one in the United States, although
dissimilar ones are used, some in the
Old World. The machine works
perfectly. A speed of eleven miles an
hour was attained.
The carriage is about the size of an
ordinary vehicle. One seat holding
three persons fills the front, and
another one that will accommodate a
similar number faces to the rear. A
storage battery composed of five
series of five cells each furnishes a
current of sixty-seven and one-hali
ohms, and tho cells are arranged in
three tiers beneath the seats. The
wheels are of wood with India rubber
cushions on the tires. The hind
wheels, which are three feet two inches
in diameter, have on their inner sides
a cast iron fange twenty-sixth inches
in diameter and five inches wide
Power from the battery is communi-

MISSOURI RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
A Sioux City Dispatch Says Extensive Works
Will Be Put in at Fort Benton.

The following is printed in n num-
ber of eastern papers under the head
of u dispatch from Sioux Falls. dated
Dec. 81 AS Sioux Falls is the head
quarters OF the government engineer
in charge of the Improvement OF the
upper Missouri the statements made
may have some authority, although
nothing is known at Benton OF the
proposed improvements said to be
contemplated there. The dispatch
is as follows:
"SIoUx FALLS, Dec. 31.-Thegovern-
ment force of engineers will do some
extensive Improvement work on the
upper section of the Missouri the COM
ing season between Sioux City and
the head of the stream. A move is on
foot to secure a large appropriation for
works to protect the town of South
Sioux City, Neb., the engineers having
in pursuance of a special provision of
the river and harbor bill made special
arrangements for this purpose. A
large amount will be needed to do the
work recommended. An ice harbor will
be put in at the mouth OF the Big
Sioux here and about 100000 will
be spent at Pierre. Alarge sum will be
spent at Chamberlain and at Fort
Benton the river front will be protec.
ted by extensive new works. AS re-
suit of improvements made in recent
years the trade along this section OF
the river is increasing and the number
of boats in the trade will be larger
than ever next season.

employment; lost to the wage earners
OF this country over billion of dol
lars; lessened the product ofthe United
State more than four billions and of
the materials used more than two
billions in value.
Thus, the discussion of the McKin-
ley bill, covering a period of several
months. and Its subsequent passage,
had no effect except to benefit Ameri-
can industries. On the other hand
the discussion and passage OF the Will
son bill had no effect except to injure
American interest. The natural con-
clusion is that the discussion OF a
protective tariff is favorable to Amer
lean interests and the discussion and
passage of a tariff in the direction of
free trade is injurious to Americon in
dustries.
We have said before that we still
believe, that there was no necessity
for the passage of the German tariff;
and the result of the election of Novem-
ber @ conclusivly prove that those
n,efhoers ofcongress who doubted the
expedience of filibustering were, to say
the least, mistaken. 1t is to-day no

people want protection-adequa
