The controversy over the Manitoba
school question, which has assumed
such threatening proportions, is now
reported to have been compromised.
The Catholics yield their demand for
public support for their schools. which
was guaranteed them in their provin :
cial charter, but in turn they are re-
lieved from taxes for public schools
unless they elect to educate their
children in them, and they must them
selves pay..by voluntary contribution
for the cntireJ support OF their
parochial schools. The practical effect
is not greatly different than it would
be under system of division of pub
lie funds for sectarian schools. and in
so far the principle is vicious one.
There should be but one public school
system and that should be absolutely
non -sectarian. supported by the tax
alton of the whole people. open on
equal terms to all, and its maintenance
on this basis made as much duty of
yheistate as the support of the militia.
police or any other means of protection
for the state. Ii any citizen then pre-
fcrs private or sectarian or any other
style of education for his children, let
him have it it. he wants to pay the ex-
ira expense. but it should not absolve
him in any degree from support of the
public schools.

England seems to be eager for
boundary disputes these days, and the
ono she has raised against this country
over the interior boundary of Alaska
is perhaps even more cheeky than that
with Venezuela. The boundary OF
Alaska or that strip of it extending
down on the west side of British
Columbia is described in the old
treaties and in our acquisition from
Russia as extending inland to dis
lance of "ten marine leagues from the
coast, - or to about where was supposed
to be the foot of the Alaskan range of
mountains. Until lately nobody sup
posed there could be any doubt about
what this meant or that it was OF
serious Importance, but lately gold has
been discovered in this area, and i'm
mediately the British claimed it-of
course and set up the absurd pretext
that 1.-THE coast meant the outer
edges of the outer islands, of which
there are hundreds scattered along the
coast. The effect of this would be to
give us no mainland at all in some
places, and very little anywhere. But
there is no danger that Britain will
refuse. after the usual amount of
clustering, to arbitrate this question
with Uncle Sam, as she ought by every
consideration of right aud decency, that
with Venezuela.

The one term rule in public office
and the Mountain rule are two pieces
of folly which have caused our state
measureless damage and have belittled
our politics and lowered our standard
of public men to Liliputian size. -
Burlington News.
No doubt these rules have their be
lifting effect, but the one great cause
of the Lliputianism in state politics
is the one sidedness of them, the total
absence of party responsibility or am
bition, such as all history has shown
to be necessary for successful repre-
sentative government, the certainty
that no matter what is done. no mat
ter how far extravaganza, corruption,
hecdlessness and stupidity may go
there will be none but personal pun
ishment, and therefore "A growing
tendency not to look at measures in
their larger aspects but TO make all
subservient to personal interests, in
trigues and ambitions. For instance,
it often happens that one Legislative
eader will not interfere with the
scheme of another which he knows to
be wrong or foolish, because he knows
the consequences will only fall on the
advocates of II, whereas if there was 4

Though there may be truth to the

Russia. Japan of course can see IN II
simply Il grabbing away from her OF
the fruits of her war with China. An
Anglo-Japanese alliance to fight would
be the natural result. But there are
some grave obstacles in the ATTITUDE
of France and Germany. From the
day the treaty of peace between China
and g.Japan was signed, Russia and
France have been in effect the rulers
of China. The latter has compelled
the government of that country to give

was coded to China by England, with
the express stipulation that it was not

apparently occupies a position friendly

was a consenting party to the inter

the Russian grab, doubtless having
her assurance of guild pro quo from
some source. There is an idea al

A dozen years ago or more an organiz'

TEN. The managers of the movement
proceeded largely on the same idea as
the News has, that liquor dealers
would want different law and SO sent
the petitions to them for circulation,
and the replies received from them
were the very thing that killed the
movement. The editor Of the Rcformer
examined the correspondence at the
time and large numbers, we think a
majority, of the liquor sellers heard
from wrote that they didn't want any
different law. because they were able to
sell about as they pleased, without
interference and costing them but
little if anything. AS we remember IT,
every one of the hotels in Burlington
took this position: certainly the van

was the general view wherever the law
was not thoroughly enforced, = which
was and is most of the state. And II

arguments for the honest and sys-

The publication of Senator Sher-

statements. One of these was il the
shape of an interview with the Senator
himself, reported from Marsellon, Ohio.
last week. in which he was reported
| to have said that he would never be a
candidate for presidential nomina
ton again. that it had been his
"dream and hope for almost half a
| century, to be the chief magistrate OF
the nation. but he had twice been sold
out and betrayed by ex-Gov. Chas.
Foster and Tom Plat, the latter OF
whom he described as the Judas Is
CARROT of the Republican party" "a
man dangerous to any civilized organ
ization. " and he had irrcvocably de
cided not to try again. The Senator
has since repudiated this interview.
as regards the statements imputed t.
him about Foster and Plat: but he
does not deny that he expressed the
opinion that Mckinley would be the
nominee. and that Morton. while "a
we'll behaved and highly honorable
man" is too old. Ex-Attorncy General
Miller of the Harrison cabinet. comes
forward to deny that there was any
bargaining with Plat for Harrison in
the convention of 1883. He says that
Sherman nomination was an impoSsi
bility then and in 1880, and that from
his talk it might be inferred that
Sherman is in his dotage now. Ex-
Congressman Ben Butterworth, who
was one of Sherman's chief captains
in both conventions. says that he
organized his own defeat in both by
trusting his case To treacherous
friends. Both Butterworth and Miller
tell amusingly. if it were not so
serious a subject about the traffic in
