EDUCATION IN QUt BEG.
ghe Church No Longer To Have Control
of the Schools.

The recently installed Liberal gov
eminent in the province Of Quebec will
start a reform in the educational sys-
tenn of French Canada without delay.
The policy of the new government will
Withdraw the primary schools from &C.
clesiastical control and place them UNI
der the protection of a department of
the government The undertaking will
be attended with difficulty, there being
no intention TO interfere with the work
of the Protestant board of education,
which at present is practically on the
same footing as the Roman Catholic
branch, the schools being by agreement
conducted on denominational lines.
The Roman Catholic clergy will re-
sent the state influence being extended
over one class of the schools only They
are irritated at the consent of the papal
delegate, Mgr. Merry del Val, to the
Liberal settlement of the schools ques-
tion in Manitoba. The delegate could
not help himself, the Manitoba govern
ment having closed the question before
! his arrival in the country. 1t is known,
however, that understandings have been
given that the terms of the settlement
will be greatly modified by the new reg
ulations. The school system of Mantle
ba will be made to resemble the plan
adopted in Nova Scotia.
In Quebec the government will exer-
else all the power over the Catholic
schools that the government of Ontario
exercises over the Protestant schools
of that province, which are almost ex-
slusively attended by Protestant chill
dren. In this way the Liberal view of
education will prevail in all provinces
of the Dominion. The papal delegate is
now in Winnipeg, paying particular at
tention to the condition of things there.
The Quebec bishops are defeated at all
points. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

EDITOR DANA GRlEVEO.
He Dips His Pen In Gall and Admonishes
The Tribune.

What did the Hon. Whitelaw Reid
mean by his exhortation to Melville +.
Stone, head devil of the Chicago Asso-
ciated Press, to leave nothing undone
to cripple The Sun? How could he sit
in the warm sunshine of April beneath
the beautiful live oaks of San Mateo
county, which should inspire nothing
but truth and goodness, and indite that
winged messenger Of malefic import,
Cripple The SUM"
What does he want to cripple The
Sun for? Is it because he was once The
Suns partner in fast bound compact
which he did not keep? Is it because
The Sun continued to pay and to meet
its cash obligations while he fell by the
wayside, and because we kept on pay
ing when he, Whltelaw, had defaulted?
Or is he of that altruistic bent that,
crippled himself, and his unhappy Trib-
une tenfold crippled and cast down, he
would have all his neighbors crippled,
too, and most of all that nearest and
dearest of neighbors, The Sun?
1t is fun, Whitelaw, crippling The
Sun. 1t beats all hollow being embassa-
dor extraordinary to st. James, with
three secretaries, but without the con-
firmation Of the senate. New York

An Enrlishman's Homo Is His Castle.

The English principle that mans
house is his castle has recently been re-
affirmed by an English crown court
composed of the lord chief justice of
England, Justices Hawkins, Grantham.
Wright and Collins. 1t appeared that
the defendant was convicted of viola
ton of the gaming act for inviting some
of his cronies into his house for game
of cards, in the course of which he re-
lieved one of them of $50. Owing to
the payment of this sum by check, the
losers wife came to know the circum.
stances and informed the police, who
initiated prosecution against the win
ner for opening and, further, for using
his house for illegal gaming. The case
came before the quarter sessions, and the
defendant was convicted; hence the ap-
peal. The lord chief Justice said that il
would be monstrous 70 hold that this
was q breach Of the gaming act. The
other judges concurred. and the eonvic.
tion was Quashed. New York Sun.

THE ANGRY ROCKEFELLERS.
They viii Not Pay Their Tarrytown Taxes
Unless Obliged to DO So.

On complaint of John ID. and William
Rockefeller Justice Dykeman of the SUI
preme court at White Plains has issued
writ of certiorari against the assessors
for the village of North Tarrytown,

The cause of the proceeding is the
new law, which says that all property,
personal and real, must be assessed at
its full value,
When the assessors were making up
the roll for 1897, they assessed the
Rockefeller real estate at full value, ac-
cording to the law. The Rockefellers
declare that their assessment is illegal.

efeller's real estate Is assessed at e244,
no. William Rockefeller's is assessed
at 500, 800. Both protested against their
assessments OH grievance day, but the
assessors refused TO lower them.
William Rockefeller owns "A swamp
which is assessed at 81, 500. He offers
to sell it to the village for $1,000 for a
sewer outlet. The village assessors think
this is just bait and that he would be

ODD CLIMATIC CHANGES.
Chief of the Weather Bureau Cannot Ac-
count For Them.


Tn the present state of meteorological
science we do not know the cause of
such extremely long, cool spells as tho
country has been recently. Not even a
satisfactory theory can at present be
formulated, although scientific weather
forecasting is now quarter Of cen
tury old What the future may hold Is
uncertain We are gradually extending
the period over which weather can he
foTecastad with reasonable accuracy.
But causes of extended weather condi-
tlons are not known. Ii j. better for
the public TO know the limitations Of
our powers than 20 be deluded with
false ideas.
The long range forecaster is fraud
preying upon the creduity of the pub
lie. For instance. say, March has an av-
erage of four storms He scatters them
seven days apart through the month.
Then he says the storm may come the
day before this date or the day after.
Make up such forecast for the month Of
March, and it will be seen that it is not
a difficult thing to do.
When a month of abnormal condi-
tions occurs the long range forecaster
strikes nothing, because he has figured
Oh the average conditions prevailing.
am annoyed by these long range weather
forecasters trying to indulge in fore
casting contest a year In advance. L
will not CRAFTY them, because both of
us will practically be making a blind
guess without any scientific basis for the
predictions of either. In such contest
they would be as liable to win as |, but
no merit would attach to the winner i'll

| Senator Hanna Does Not Care For Cuba.

There is no news i'll the statement
that Senator Hanna is opposed to what
he calls 'this agitation" about Cuba, for
his efforts to prevent vote in the SEN
ate Oil the bclliScrcncy resolution are
still remembered The other day, how
ever, he was expressing his opinion in
very emphatic terms to a fellow SEN
ator. "There ism t the least bit of inter-
est in the question in Ohio" asserted
Mr.. Hanna, land l do not think the
country is half as much concerned as
some of the agitators here would have us
believe"
"Well, Hanna" said his colleague,
81 will bet you $500 that your state
convention declares for Cuba"
Very likely" slowly assented Mr..
Hanna, because some fool will get up
with resolution which nobody will
care to oppose.
"And the country is full of just such
FOOLS" was the other senator's parting
shot. -Washington Post.

After escaping the conspiracies

Eui-Wha needs to rub up against the
world as much as possible, for the rul-

ruling is no easy task. His education
thus far has been of the best. For

Korean young men, and now he comes
to acquaint himself with western ways

Fishing Time.

With tulips blooming everywhere
And timid breaths Of vernal air
Meandering down the dusty town
Like children lost in Vanity Fair;
When every long, unlovely row
OF westward houses stands aglow,
And leads the eyes toward sunset skies
Beyond the hills where green trees grow;
When weary seems the street parade,
And weary books and weary trade.
I'm only wishing to go a-fshing,
For this the month OF May was made.
I guess the pussy willows now
Are creeping out on every bough
Along the brook, and robins look
For early worms behind the pillow.
The thistle birds have changed their dun
For yellow coats to match the sum-
And in the same array OF flame
The dandelion shows begun.
The hocks of young anemones
Are dancing round the budding trees.
Who can help wishing TO 60 a-nshing

paigns He Finds Life Burden.
There is no rest for Mark Hanna.
Three years ago he started his campaign
for the nomination of Mckinley for
president. That was comparatively
easy task, as the people were with him.
Yet Mr.. Hanna put in two years of solid
work to make sure of success. Last year
he had upon his shoulders the burden OF
q great campaign. No sooner was that
victory won than Mr.. Hanna found
himself surrounded by office seekers.
For seven months they have been after
him day and night. Now Mr.. Hanna
has another big job on his hands. 1t Is
to carry the state of Ohio at the fall
elections and save his own seat in the
senate. Is it any wonder that Mr.. Han
ma is getting tired?
Mr.. Hanna moves his Office from
room to room and from floor to floor in
the Arlington hotel, where he lives. AS
soon as the office seekers locate him III
one room and overrun him he moves be-
tween midnight and daylight to quar-
tiers far away in the big house, down
stairs or up stairs. In day or two the
crowd has found him out, and there is
nothing to do but to pull mp stakes and
move again.

Bringing an Old Pew Into New Church.

Bringing an Ola rev INTO NC" S"""'
According to an act Of the house OF
lords, man has right to bring his
old family pew into the newly built
church of his parish, that he may sit In
the seat of his fathers. In consequence
of this law a handsome English church
recently found itself in great distress.
The graceful building has been restored
in the most approved style at the cost
of about $50, 900, and one of the men,
bers of the congregation has insisted in
thrusting his unsightly family pew into
the midst of this beauty. AS the pew is
a huge, rude, boxlike affair, the vicar
is in great distress and has labored IN
vain to argue the troublesome layman
into a more reasonable state OF mind. -

He had just concluded and stepped

THE CRATER OF RAINIER.
Experiences of Slight on the Summit of
the Weird Mountain.


Throwing off the life line, which had
become almost an intolerable burden,
scaled the piIo of bare rocks and gained
the rim of the crater The great bowl
within was deeply filed with snow, but
tho black circle forming its rim could
be distinctly traced. Descending the in
Eer slope for about 100 feet, | found a
place where steam was issuing from q
crevice in the rocks and warmed my
benumbed fingers. Soon my companions
Joined me, and we took refuge in one
Of the many cayerns that the heat of
the rocks and of the escaping steam
bad melted in the lower portion of the
snow and ice partially filing the crater.
Ia these weird caverns one may descend
far beyond the light of day The white
vapors drifting silently through tho
dimly lighted passages assume grotesque
shapes and suggest to the imaginative
visitor that spirits of the time when
Plutos reign was supreme there make
their homes
BY melting snow in our tin cups over
the cracks from which steam was issu-
ing we soon had water enough with
which TO prepare tea. In the absence of
sugar and cream little alcohol from
the supply brought for fuel was added
to each cup and proved a welcome
stimulant Making ourselves as com
Portable as possible under the circum-
stances. we passed the night in the cav

enough to lie down on, and we were
forced to stand or crouch against the
hot rocks all night. The floor of cur

an ugly opening of unknown depth be-
tween TIE descending roof of ice and
the rocks. 70 guard against accidents,
the life line was stretched across the
cavern and made fast to crags This
proved a wise precaution, as we were
