ji is said tuat oue of the most
portant matters coming before parliament will bea measure regarding education.
imM-
According to late despatches it is proposed to make a radical change in tne Department. of Education.
The Government, it is stated, intends to create a new portfulio of Minister cf Edu- Cation, the mantle fa.ling on the shoulders of the present provincial secretary, Hun. Mr. Robidoux. The entire present system of the Department of Education will undergo a change, providing for the mejority ruling. The Superintende:t of Education will be relieved of the respons - bility of thedistribution of tbe money voted whick work will be vested in the House of Assembly, The right wiil also be ac— corded to every municipality in the pro- vince to resort tu compulsory education wheuver the exigency shall preseat it- self. thus removing the responsibility from the shoulders of the Government. Other important matters are also expected to come u, for consideration, and altogether the session promises to be a most interest- ing one, = == seneianerntnothttie diteithenamiee cenentintieeee NOTES AND COMMENTS.
—The ex'ract from the Summerside Pioneer, <ublisheu elsewhere in to-day’s is¢ue, indicates that in that town he Scott Ac: i+ mere honored in the iret than the observance. . The situation is a most depiorable one, if the Pioneer’s story be correct. © “nectli:era appointed by the Peters Government to enforce the Seott Act are evidently beg'ecting their dutr, @od the Jaw is beimg openly and shame-— fully violated.
— Sir Wilfrid’ Lavrier promised at To Tonto that the farming ont of patronage and public werks was to be abolished by his Government. In the Tarte-Grenier Case testimury was given that the Liberal mem bers or toe Liberal defeated candidates ‘were regularly consulted by the Laurier Ministers ax to thegiving out ot contracts in their constituencies. “The “Fusiness js business” letter was the outcome of the practice. The Premter should inform his colleagues of his intentions.
—The Montrea!l Witness discussing the ‘Outery raised against Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the ranks of bis own party, regrets that it should have been raised over a question Of patronage and urges itsfriends to take higher ground. Let the Witness direct its eyes towards Ottawa. They had recently a meeting of the local Reform Association in which a prominent young member of the party took tie floor, announced that he ‘was in politics for what could be made out of it aia wend not he satisfied until he was “init up to the chin.” Liberal “principles” are the same al! over.

—The appoimment as Canadian emi-
ration agent at the St. Paul, Minn., of
r. Benjamin Dayies, brother of Sir Louis H. Davies,*ie attracting con- sideraole attention. Commenting upon the appointment the Halifax Herald says : No government that ever before existed in Canada ever got so many miniater’s relatives into office in so shorta time as has the Laurier-Tarte government. It seéms to us as if the best half of the offi- ces thai have been at the Government’s dieposal has gone to relatives of ministers and relatives of prominent parliamentary supporters. The rest of the party isn’s in at.

ihr few months ago Wita the money of the
I
party.
“Tn course of time Tarte became owner f the paper. When Robert McGreevy sod =Muarphy’—(Murphy was the New York embezzier)—* began to threaten
Phomas McGreevy and the ,Connoilys
v supp! ied
The quarrel between the > ¥ ur. arose in acimple way.”
The Globe says the ea * ‘le diaput was a money difieulsy u.ween Thomas
McGreevy, on the one hand, and Rob-ri McGreevy aud Murphy, on the other. “Asa last stroke, Murphy and Robert, when the row occurred, attempted to ex ac: fir-t $109,090, aod then $75,000, from Toomas and Mr, Connolls, by threatening to printthe l-tters, It wast ea that Mr. Tarte resolved to take the side of virtue. Tiey furnished the ammunition in the hope of forcing the Dominion Ministers to persuade Thomas and the Cvnnollys to pay tLeg@veat money. That was their solo ot j-ct at the oateet, Tarte appeared as the chax.pio1 of public mortality. He would bave deserved mach credit, how- ever, had he applied himself to the elecication of the whole truth.”
But it would neverdo hastily to accept the Globe’s view of Mr. Tarte, because if the Globe were accep'ei as an authcrity for Mr, Tarte itwould follow that Mr, Tarte should be se vepted as a fair and just critic of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Mr Tarte has said of Sir Wilfrid: ~
“Mr. Laurier is a man not wanting ip polish-*-*He is without large d-as.... .- The fact is, that he has not yet pro- nounced a single discourse of a nature to manifest in him a@ man of serious worth. His polished manners, astuteness, a cer- tain ability ic concealing bis priociples— not fer removed from hypocrivy—have wo : for him his popularity in the coun- try.”
And egain : —
“Mr: Laurier is not a nobody; «till less is he what we calla man of talent. He hes a character veneered on the «cu side, Scratch a little and you wil] disc: ve the mediocrity within. He is not learned: his
speeches show it. His thought never rises above the p'ans of his prejud ces.
“He wiil never be faithful to what he | does not possess—principles, sound convie- tions, Or patriotiem, ”
We do aot think the Globe’s opinion of Mr. Tarte or Mr. Tarte’s opinion cf Sir Wilfrid Laurier should be accepted off hand. Let everybody judge for himself. —Mail and Empire.
—Those Liberal journals which tbink Mr. Tarte bas beem vindicated by the verdict against Grenier canoot have read the evidence very carefully. Here is an example from Mr. Tarte’s evidence :
“Mr. Shaughnessy, of the C. P. B., who was a friend of mine, knowing that I was in bankrupicy, came to me and offered me a subscription.
“I declined, because Iwasa political man.
“{ told him, however, that if he would give my sons some printing to do they .would do it, and it would help them along.
“He gave them an order for $2,500 or thereabouts.
“As I left for L’Islet I took some $1,200 or $1,400 of this money and I was elected.’
THE CANADIAN LOAN.
—-
(St. John Sup.)
has * ee Mr. Fielding is wi!l advised in Cflering |
the pew Cunadian loan at 24 per cent., ai d there is very litthe doubt that be will float the bonds ut a good figure. We believe iuat no other culovuy has yet tried to bor- row money below three per cent. There are some India 24 pcr cents , but these are vu alwovt the sawe basis as the imperial -ecurity, and are nut to be compared with the bonds of the tfluanctally inodepeadent colonies. But C:nada is no: expected to wait tor the Australian governments to lead Lue Way in reduciog the rate of interest. Ine uiWay* been the pioneer iu Luis movement. Lo 1: 8t this country led the way in cutting the rate telow four percent. The loan floated in that year by Sir Leooard Tilley was, we believe, the fi--t 34 per cen’. loan oj tained by a British colony, Four years iater Mr. Foster nego wa su tbe Gret of the colonial three per cent. loans. Sir Richard Cartwright sold
us per cents. 10 1576 at pine per cent discount. In 1834, when Canadian fours were Vtaslight premium; Sir Leonerd Tiiley ventured ty ask lor tenders fora 3 1-2 per cent. loan, He sold his bonds ay about 92, which was equal {o fluating a per. In 1888, when the 3 1-2 per cents. were qno‘ed above par, Mr. Fuster a-ked for three per cent, tenders, aud was co forinnate as to get all the money he wanted at an average rate of 95. Tbe next lot of three per cents weat a Jide chesp:r, but che issue of Ls94 was taken alan average rate of 97 1-2 Tod.y hese turee per ceuts are quoted in the sitish stock market at 105. The Canadian three per cents are as much ab.ve par as the tur per cents were when ibe first 3) per cents were sold, or as the o$ perc n.s were wieu the first three per Geuts were issued. We may theretore rensovably assume that the time is oppor- tuoe for an issue of 24 per cents, especially ascertain Britieh consuls bearing 24 per cent are selling at 105, while dodia debentures, Learing the same interest, are worth 95, notwithstanding the unsatisfac— tory state of Tudia. Perhaps it is mt expected that the new Canalizn . loan will sell at par, but probably Mr. Bielding willuame a minimum tate, somewhere between 90 and 95, and nodoubt he will receive tenders ail the way from the low margin to par. ot
Toough three per cent. clonial securities were unknown wheo Mr. Foster first offered them they are common enough now. Several volonies have placed them on tlre market. The province of Quebec has floated two loans at that rate, and we be- lievé that British Columbia has issued one. The citizeus of Montreal, Quebec and Toronto sre borrowers at 34 ver cent. The signs therefore favor Mr. Fie ding’s sUCCESS,
