The grand promenade concert of the
Buffalo Woolen company, on Broad

to erect a band stand in front of the
store on the street, on which electric
lights were rugged up and for several
hours last evening the people were
treated to first-class concert. This

Public Schools in Canada.

The recent election in Canada and the
overwhelming defeat of the Tories or con-
servatives by the Liberals will have a far
reaching effect on the public school system
not only of Canada, but of this country as
well. A division of the public money, or
the support ofsectarian or parochial schools
at the public expense, has received blow
from which it will not soon recover.
In the recent election the Manitoba
school question so-called was prominent
issue, and the lines were clearly drawn.
The conservatives had committed them
selves to the policy of supporting parochlal
schools out of the public treasury, and
were openly supported by the priests and
bishops of the Catholic church, and strange
ly enough by large percentage of the
Protestant population of the province of
Ontario. Laurier, the premier elect, and
the successful candidate of the Liberals, is
himself Catholic and was handsomely
supported by the Catholics of the Province
Of Quebec. ri
The Catholics of Canada have demon
stratrd that they can think and act for
themselves.
A Catholic newspaper of the province of
Quebec, l. 'Electeur, treats the matter In
this fashion '' The scandalous attemps to
exploit religion for the benefit of the tory
party must cease once for all. Rome, the
home of Catholic hope and consolation,
shall know what has been taking place dur
ing the past month or two. Many wives
and children have wept and knelt before
our friends in the en9eivor to dissuade
them from incurring the vengeance OF
heaven which has been threatened upon
priests who have been indoctrinated by
the Chapais' and the Pelletiers, and who
have caused these tears to flow, shall be
called to account by tn, father of the
Catholic family"
The Moniteur du Commerce of Quebec
an influential Catholic paper, takes the
clergy to task thus, for interfering as they
did in politics: 1--WE are of the opinion
| that grave error was committed by oul
clergy in taking part in the contest as the,
did. 1t would have been better for theil
prestige to avoii trying once more to use
their influence in the temporal domain il
behalf OF political party"
A deficit OF S137 800, 600. is credited tC
the present administration The shortage
for the present year is estimated at -S25,
500, 900.
The St. Johnsbury Republican published
a handsome l6 psge supplement this weel

part of the Republican is quite a common

A Modern Rip Van Winkle.

The village of Gray sville, says Pitts
burg paper, has developed strange case
as viewed from medical standpoint-that
of man who had lain upon his bed for "a
years, during great part of which time he
was blind and speechless and sometimes
unable to hear, but can now walk about
with the aid of crutches, and his eyesight,
voice and hearing are all restored. This
man is Asa McClelland. He was soldier
in the late war, being a member of Co.
G., 18th Pennsylvania cavalry, and will be
remembered by many of his old comrades.
In the early part of the '7O's he was taken
i'll and became bedfast. He lost the use Of
his body and finally sank into half-con-
scious state, during which he lost both eye
sight and power to speak, and for time
could not hear. Some time before his i'll
ness his mind became temporarily affected,
and he attempted to take his life by shoot
ing. The ball struck him near the base of
the brain, but failed to penetrate the skull.
But little injury was done, apparently, by
the wound and he went about for several
months afterward After he became i'll
his case baffled the aid Of physicians.
Much of the time he would lie upon his
bed with his head and entire body unde r
covers. He would show no sign of recog-
nition, and his food was frequently pushed
under the covers within his reach, and thus
he ate enough to sustain life. This lasted
during period of about "a years. After
the first few years old acquaintance
ceased their visits, and he almost dropped
out of their remembrance. He now relates
the following strange story: A short time
ago he felt strength suddenly return to his
body and had an impulse to arise. He
tried to do so and found that he could get
up. About the same time he found his
eyesight restored. He had not uttered a
sound for years, but the thought occurred
to him to make an effort to speak, and he
found his voice restored.
His first attempt to walk was by resting
his hands upon the back of chair and
pushing it along, but he now uses crutches
He had forgotten many words and these
were taught him just as little child is in
structed. In the same way he was taught
to read again. Everything was new to
him. He, however, remembered the names
and faces of former acquaintances. An
| old acquaintance who had not seen him for
many years met him at the store at Grays-
vile and was quickly recognized by Nc
Clelland. The latter refers to the peroid
of his life prior to his illness as one who
has been away in another part of the coun-
try for many years and has just returned.
He speaks of places about the village as
when l was here before they looked SC
and so" He says there were but two OF
three houses in Graysville when he was
there then.
Like Rip Van Winkle, he seems to have
awakened from long dream. He says
that during bis illness he was many times
able to hear what was said, but had not the
power to whisper even reply. He has
an interest in piece of land and draws a
small pension, and says he now is able te
conduct his own business. Mr.. McClelland
is 81 years old and formerly worked at the
painting trade.

What Free Coinage Means.

The all absorbing question in the coming
campaign will be the financial question.
Shall we have double monetary standard
that is, shall gold and silver be kept at
parity at the ratio of 16 to ], or shall the
present gold standard be maintained? In
order that our readers may know what
free coinage means we reproduce the fol-
lowing.
Coming silver on the basis of 16 to /
means that 16 weights of silver shall be
stamped by the government as equal in
value to one weight of gold. The present
silver dollar contains 412 1-2 grains of silver
nine-tenths fine, or 81 IA grains of pure
metal The present gold dollar contains
25S grains nine-tenths fine, or % % grains
of pure metal. BY dividing 4121-2 by
25 or 81 IA by 1922. the result will be
found to be 1888, which means, fellow
citizens, that the silver dollar is that many
times heavier than the gold dollar, or 16
times, for short. Now anybody with any
considerable quantity of gold is privileged
to take it to the mint and have it stamped
into So, $40 or $40 pieces, at the rate, of
1922 grains of pure metal to the dollar,
paying therefor only the cost of the alloy
and of refining where refining is necessary,
and these pieces are then legal tender for
all debts to the amount stamped on them.
Prior to 1873 silver also had this privi-
lege anybody having 81 IA grains Of the
pure metal stood at the mints on the same
footing as the holder OF % % grains of
pure gold. But in 1873 silver was shut
out, and since then no silver has been
coined except on government account, and
the dollar coined by the government could
not be obtained by anybody except by
paying for it the equivalent OF a gold dol
lar. What the silver men now d, mand is
that the old legal conditions prevailing
prior to 1873 shall be r. stored but as sill
yer has since fallen greatly in price as
measured by gold so that 16 weights OF it
are no longer worth anything like one
weight of gold-the actual market ratio
now being about 81 to THE proposition
is maniiestly resisted by those who do not
believe the opening of the mints to silver
could restore its old value and who do be-
lieve that debts should be paid in dollar
as good as that given.
The ultimate effects of the step to free
coinage would manifest themselves entirely
in a great advance in the prices of COM
modities. The creditor would be given a
| gal tender dollar for his claim to 81, but
the dollar would not buy nearly as much as
the dollar he lent under the gold standard.
Thus the dishonesty Of the proposition be-
comes as manifest as if under gold stand
aid the creditor should be given, say T5
cents, in payment OF claim of 81.
