An Important Aspect.
Maseru, Basutoland, April 5.-The
1eoccupation of Ladybrand, Thaba
N'Chu and the Bloemfontein water
works by the Beers, in the very sight
of the Basutos, who recently wit
messed the expulsion of the Beers by
the British, is far the most important
aspect of the situation here, in view
of it's probable effect upon the ma
tive mind. Already the natives are ar
guing that the British have suffered
reverses, and, should the British evac-
uate Wepenor, the results, so far as
the natives are concerned, are likely
to prove disastrous. All hope to see

Sectarian Bigotry.

The bigots over in Toronto, Can, are
at their venomous work again, and
Miss O'Rourlte, Catholic school
teacher and a most brilliant Scholar, Is
the latest victim, says the Michigan
Catholic. Miss O'Rourke was refused
the position of modern language teach
er in the Jameston Avenue Collegiate
Institute of that city for no other real
son than that of her religion. She was
far and away the most gifted Of the
applicants, and was most highly recon.
mended for the position. She would
have been accepted were it not that
two or three members Of the school
board learned of her religion. That
settled 1t. These followers of King
Billy, these shifting true-blues, did
not want a Catholic teaching their Off
spring. Her ideas as q teacher would
not do for the followers Of Luther and
she was ousted. The Catholics of the
Canadian Queen City are Justly up in
arms. and Rev. Father Ryan has de-
cided to resign from the school board.
This is not the first time the bigots
of Toronto have shown themselves.
1t has always been a rallying point
for the clans, and when the opportu-
nifty appeared the serpents grasped it,
1t will always be SO, until the Catho-
lies assert and fight for their rights.
There is a goodly number of them
there, and they should show their met
tie.

AN INCREASE OFFERED.

to Miners.

Philadelphia, Oct. IAN offer OF an
increase Of ten per cent. in miners
wages was inaugurated by the Phila'
ielphia & Reading Coal and Iron Co.
and this move, it is stated, will be fol
lowed, on Tuesday, by similar notice,
at every colliery in the anthracite
region. 1t is said by the operator,
that this increase in wages will be
satisfactory to the men, and they be-
liere many of the strikers will take
advantage of the offer and return tc
work. Mining operations will in this
event be given an impetus, and the
operators expect there will then be
a gradual resumption until the col
lieries will again have their full com
plement of employees. The Philadei
phia e. Reading company operates IS
colieries, and of these 27 have beer
shut down owing to insufficient work
ing force.
Whether the miners will accept the
proffer of the company and return
in sufficient numbers to operate the
mines can not be foretold.
