dropped from some other world than

her, as she did not like to be without
them" The medicines referred to are

for its cures of colds and Group; Cham

lame back, pains in the side aud chest,
and Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

have learned that they are articles of
great worth and merit, and unequaled
by any other. They are for sale here

THE FIGHT is ON.

1t will be wise for the Canadian gov
form of retreat and what conditions
of surrender will be least hurtfu1 to it's
dignity. Retreat and surrender are
clearly the next necessity for it. The
result of the elections in Manitoba is
sweeping victory for Premier Green
way and his policy. The electors of
that province knew exactly what was
at stake, and what would be the con-
sequence of their support or refusal
to support the government They have
returned it to power by a majority Of
four or five to one on the single issue
of maintaining the school system as
it now is, refusing to grant separate
support from the state revenues to de-
nominational schools, and defying, if
need be, the dominion government on
that issue. They received, of course,
great encourag cement from the mani
fest dissensions existing in the do
minion ministry, as exhibited by the
resignation of seven members of the
cabinet, and the inability of anybody
to construct a new government on
the basis of outright opposition to the
people of Manitoba. They had in this
almost a certainty Of winning their
case, and were made all the more de-
termined by it to stand to the posi-
ton which they had taken.
The best that can now be done in
Ottawa is to fix upon some measure Of
compromise. Manitoba has decided
formally to resist, by all means and
to all eXrremities, the proposition to
re-establish the separate school sys-
tenn. She has fatty defied the order
of parliament and is ready to do SO
the British privy council. This means
that she would rather withdraw from
the confederation than to abandon the
position that she has held from the
beginning. Nobody believes that the
dominion government will proceed to
the extreme of armed coercion. With
out that, nothing is to be done except
to agree on some conciliatory meas
ure that will satisfy the demands, as
far as possible, of the Roman Catho-
lies Of Manitoba, while leaving it's
school system unchanged This latter
we may regard as definitely settled
by the fixed and repeated policy of
the people themselves.
