THE FRENCH SHORE.

After eleven years of the French Shore modus
vivendi Newfoundland has renewed that anon
alous arrangement for one more year, but has
given formal notice that this will be the last.
Such notice would doubtless have been given
vssr ago had II not been for the South African
war, the insular government not wishing to add
IN the already great embarrassments OF the
immortal government. There can be no doubt
that the colonists are in full earnest over the
matter, and that the beginning OF next year
must see some other disposition OF the French
Shore business than the oppressive system which
has prevailed since 1890.
Happily there is good reason TO hope and TO
expect that some final settlement will readily
be made. The general progress of affairs has
steadily made in that direction. We need not
discuss the question whether the French have
exceeded their rights that shore as the New
foundlanders assert. 1t IL indsputabe that the
French have some perfectly valid treaty rights
there which must be respected and which can
not be cancelled without the payment OF a quid
pro quo But those rights have been waning In
value, until they well on toward the
vanishing point. When the modus vivendi was
established, in 1890. the French had on the
shore more than sixty stations, operated by
more than seventeen hundred men. AT the
present time they have only fourteen stations,
with 473 employees, including number of girls.
The tota. output Of their establishments is less
