A RED RAG.

From what Is known Of the temper
not only Of the people Of Manitoba,
but Of those of the entire dominion of
Canada, the bill which has been draft
ed to restore separate schools for the
Roman Catholics, will operate as red
rag to a bull. The division of opin-
ion on this question was too radical,
and the feelings on both sides too in
tense to leave room for reasona bic
prospect of compromise. 1t was sup
posed, however, that the measure draft
ed by the cabinet would hold out an
inducement for surrender to each of the
conflicting parties. Instead Of that, it
proves to be drastic attempt to coerce
the government of Manitoba into COM
pliance with the policy that it has re-
peatedly and positively rejected. By
the terms of the act board of educa-
ton would be established under the
control Of the Roman Catholics. These
would have practice charge Of the
schools provided for the children Of the
people of that church. The inspectors
Of the public schools would also in
spect these separate schools, and there
is to be uniform system Of examina-
ton of teachers. With this reserva-
ton, the restoration of the entire school
system Is decreed Oh petition of a sufn-
cient number of heads of families, and
Catholic rate prayers are to support the
public or separate schools as they may
like. If the province of Manitoba per-
sists in it's rebellious attitude, the do
minion government is to supply the
money necessary, securing it from the
school lands of Manitoba still held
within the control of the federation.
It Is unnecessary to say that this
proposed measure will raise a perfect
storm of indignant opposition in the
provinces to which it applies. But be-
fore that point is reached it is likely
to create Juror in the other provinces
of the federation. 1t is probable that
more than one ministry will have to
be formed and dissolved on this issue,
and that it may be made a dividing
line in the dominion parliament itself.
WHeu II COlleS 10 enforcing us Terms,
there Is little reason to doubt that
Manitoba will resist them, and tina,
an attempt to set up separate school
system in that province by act Of the
dominion government, forcibIy ana
against it's will, appropriatin to that
purpose Manitoban revenues within the
disposition of the dominion government,
will result in a still more obstinate
resistance If not in a declaration of
separation and independence There Is
among our neighbors to the north of
us, short of threatened breakup Of
the whole federated system.

OUR LAWMAKERS, DIVERSIONS.

The action of the senate finance COM
mittee in adopting a free silver sub
stitute for the tariff bill sent to it by
the house is more interesting than i'm
portant. Like most else which that
body does Of late, it has no relation to
the business of actual legislation. For
the tariff bill, with that amendment,
cannot pass; and if it should pass
without any such amendment, it would
be vetoed with promptness and pleas
ure by Mr.. Cleveland. But the at
titude taken in the matter by two
classes of senator's, the thoroughgoing
free silver men and the high tariff Re-
publicans, exposes their motives to the
light of day. The former are ready
to defy public sentiment and all prece-
dents Of legislative fitness. More than
that, they are prepared to take the
position that no business shall be done
by congress unless free coinage is con-
coded. This is the climax of minority
insolence. There is no relation be-
tween a tariff bill and a free silver
bill. The supporters of the latter who
insist on attaching it to the former are
merely following out the rule or ruin
policy which they declared to be their
standard long ago. They have had
their way without serious opposition.
They have passed their free silver sub
stitute for the bond bill and made up
their record. Now they say that moth
ing whatever shall be done in the way
Of general legislation unless free COIN
age is enacted.
These are the followers Of one selfish
interest. The Republicans, however,
have two such masters instead Of one.
! Of making the tariff bill a sacrifice to
the free silver fetch. They were will
ing enough that the credit Of the ma
| ton should be assailed and the diff
culties of the treasury intensified by
defeating financial legislation. But
when it is the tariff that is interfered
with, they are astonished and outraged
| that the free silver men should so con-
| duct themselves. Therefore it is prob
able that they will desert their asso-
| ciates for the time being, to carry out
| the. plans Of the old, original and nat
| ural family alliance between free silver
| and protection. The Democrats, on the
| other hand. can plead in. justification

the principle which is cut into, and It's
ultimate effect must be a more or
less sensible increase Of rates.
The illustration is a peculiarly happy
one, because it needs no argument to
show that the arrangement Of the
insurance business according to protec-
ton ideas is an uncompensated loss to
the public. It is no advantage to the
people Of any country to have capital
employed in insurance receiving larg-
er compensation than free competition
would allow. Every dollar so paid is
a dead loss to the business interests of
the country that are sacrificed. Yet
the principle is not different here from
anywhere else. It is the same Old.
vicious idea CT securing an exclusive
field for some favored interest, under
the guise of protecting home as against
foreign industry, forgetful of the vast
mass Of lesser Industries and of work
ing men and women who have to carry
the burden and pay the cost. 1t is
a policy Of seIfishness which, at all
times and in all places, defeats itself.
Carry 1t out to it's logical conclusion,
were that possible, and you would
have, first, each state of the Union
ruling out all insurance companies
from other states, and then each city
in which a local company might be
doing business compelling it's citizens
to insure with that institution to the
exclusion of all competitors.
Not only must the result be a great
advance in rates, but it happens in
this particular case that the larger dis
advantage is apparent to the eye.
1t is desirable, in order to lessen the
dangers Of the insurance business, that
the risks of concern be not coneen-
trated in single spot, but scattered
over large territory. In this case the
probabilities are great against any one
loss being so heavy as to affect the
company's solvency. Concentrate COM
pany's risks in one.o or two centers, and
single conf1agration would wipe it out
of existence. The work of retaliation
between the insurance interests in
America and Germany is an economic
blunder of great magnitude; but it is
entirely in harmony with the protective
systems which both of these countries
maintain. The protective principle
however expressed and wherever ap-
piled. means always an extra charge
laid upon the conduct of the business
to which 1t relates; means the destruc-
ton of the cheapest mode of serving
the people, and means always the levy
| OF tax upon the iunthinking masses
of an amount sufficient to cover the
| difference.

Of their action that this is as good
way as any other in which to kill the
worthless tariff bill It proposes to
raise existing rates Of duty unneces-
sarily, and to take from the free list
and subject once more to taxation some
Of the common necessaries of life. A
free silver club is good enough to beat
the life out of that kind of reptile.
It is not the fate of either Of these
bills that Is of interest to the people.
Both, as they came from the house,
were worthless; mere mockeries Of the
people, in their failure to meet exist
vate interests and their desire to evade
or postpone issues until after the cleo
ton. The sham bond bill and the sham
tariff bill, campaign makeshifts of
Reed and his party, were not intended
for laws, but as political capital. 1t
makes no difference to the country
or by silver substitutes, or by presi-
Dental vetoes. Any manner Of death
Is good enough for them, and no other
fate was expected or intended. But
the method in which the senate has
received them is an excellent example
Of the idea which free silver men and
Republicans alike have Of their duty
to the country. 1t is an extraordinary
show for whose maintenance at Wash
ington the people are paying some
millions of dollars annually.

CLEAN BASE BALL.
1t Is Promised for Minneapolis Next
Season.

Walter Wilmot, manager of the
Minneapolis ball team has a new idea
in the matter of suppressing rowdy-
ism He would have the managers
fined instead of the players. Coming
from the manager Of the Minneapolis
team, this may be taken as an indi-
cation that Walter intends to keep
down rowdyism in the local team, and
is willing to be held responsible for the
conduct of the players. If he can pre-
vent the nonsensical and disgusting
kicking that has been INDUCED in by
some Minneapolis players in the past
and furnish clean ball playing, he will

patrons of the game.

PROTECTION PRINCIPLES Illus
TRATED.

There is good prospect that the in
surance business will be seriously dis
turbed, and the cost of insurance to the
people over quite a considerable por-
ton of the globe be much increased by
the policy of exclusion and retaliation
that is now fairly under way. 1t be-
gan with the interference by some of
the German authorities with the oper-
atoms of American insurance COM
panies doing business in parts Of that
country. This was partly in retalia-
ton for an apparent discrimination
against German sugar in the last tariff
bill, and partly in harmony with the
protection ideas that flourish both in
the German empire and in the United
States. The country which levies high
duties on imports in order to save bust
ness for it's own manufactures, regard
less of the added cost imposed upon
the people, would very naturally re-
gard the operations of outside insur-
ance companies as an unwarranted
poaching on it's premises. 1t has in
home capital is interested, and which
want all the business they can get.
Why should not capital so invested
have an equal share Of protection, and
be as much an object Of the fostering
care of the state as capital invested
in the various forms of manufacturing?
Therefore, upon one pretext or another,
the process of shutting American COM
panies out Of the field began.
AS matter of course, the next step
was similar action on our part. New
York state has taken the lead, and 1t
is probable that some or all Of the
German insurance companies doing
business in it's territory will soon be
barred out or subjected to discrim-
mating impositions. Let us carry this
policy to it's fartheSt extent, and we
would have as a result this line of
business limited strictly in each coun-
try to it's own citizens. In each field
competition would be restricted, with
| the inevitable result of establishing a
more or less complete monopoly. It is
not that there are not insurance
agencies enough in the field in Ger
many to do German business, or in the
| United States to carry the business OF
our people. The principle that is inter
fered with is that of lessening charges
by widening the area of competition
| to the farthest business limit. That is

and thorough investigation will be instituted
at once regarding the accident Shipping
men are already at WORK fixing up a general
average list of the losses sustained by the ST.
Paul. Opinions differ as to the amount of the
loss, but all agree that the salvage that will
have to be paid will be the largest ever col
lected from any one vessel since the business
of building ships was begun. The lowest esti-
mate places this amount at S100. 900. The loss
will fall on the underwriters, as the Ameri-
can line does not insure it's own vessels. II
mismanagement could be proved against the
officers of the company, however. suit may
be brought and the total loss collected from
the steamship company.
