delverance has the approval OF the Vatican authori-
ties.
The mandement will be promulgated in the ecclssi-
astcal provinces OF Montreal. Quebec and Ottawa.
In the other provinces of Canada the bishops will
give the utterance individual approval and private?
instruct their iocks to carry out its directions.
First, the mandement will say that the domain Of
education Is that comes under the teaching Of
the Gospel. and that the clergy have the authority
in that domain. Next will come recital Of the
facts in the Manitoba school case: Deep regret will
be expressed for the division OF Catholics over the
Remedial bill. The duty Of the representatives of
the people, with reference to Christian education,
will then be touched upon, and the reason will be
given why every Catholic member should vote for
the Remedial bill
The duty of the Catholic electors will be laid down
to vote only for those candidates who pledged

New Ordinances.

The common council OF the village OF
Crystal Falls has made the discovery
that this village has not single ordi-
nance in effect at the present time. All
necessary ordinances were passed years
ago, but none OF them were given the
treatment necessary Co make them
municipal law. Many OF the ordi-
nances wele properly published, but
improperly recorded. Some OF them
were recorded but never published
and SO on through the list. A
number OF ordinances necessary for the
transaction of business will be created
in the near future. The first one will be
in regard TO transient traders, peddlers
and hocksrs.

Crystal Falls will not be without n
postmaster. The returns Of the election
had hardly been received here before a
halidozen Republicans had expressed,
either privately or in public, a desire to
serve their Uncle Samuel in the local
mail depot. Some OF the aspirants have
evidently forgotten the Tact that several
months may clapse before the new admin
istration will be in the saddle and that
civil service may prevail to protect the
present incumbent OF the Office at that
time. Mr.. Tully possesses n fonr-year
commission, hardly a year OF whiyl, has
been served. lie has made an efficient
postmaster and the "powers that be"
may not be in a hurry TO remove him.
THE DIAMOND DRILL fully understands
that "to the victor belongs the"-post-
office, but we depreaate the spectacle OF
the heirs graphing for the fortune
before the good, old uncle is cold in
death.
