There is, says the Week, ‘something more unreasonable than the gratuitous edu- cation of all classes at the public school, and that is the free education which, in many cases, is given al the High schools. it is not merely unjust to those who make
no use of those schools; but it is frequently injurious to those who are induced to make use of them when they might be better em- ployed in manual labor.” There isa great deal of truth in this last remark.
Steps are being taken towards the es- tablishment of a University in British Col- umbia. All university graduates the province are being invited to register their
names with a small fee and becom: mem- bers of the first convocation. Chis will unite all those in British Columbia favor-
ing higher education and create a sympa- thetic constituency at once for the proposed institution. How to raise the money that is required, —this is the prime question.

—Acc wrding to statist
ics collected by Mr.
Sidney Roper, the immigration of settlers into the Dominion increased from 88,700 in 1888 tv 91,600 in 1889; the revenue from $35,908,000 to $38,782,000; the expendi-
ture from $36,718,000 to $36,719.000; the Dominion lands dealt with from 638,000 to 1,086,000 acres; the post offices from 7 671 to 7,838; the letters carried from 80,200,000 to 92,968,000; the newspapers carried from 66,798,000 to 70,259,000; the imports for consumption from $102,847,000 to $109,- 673,000; the miles of railway in operation from 12,163 to 12,628; the cfain mileage from 37,391,000 to 38,819,000, and the de- posits in post office saving banks from $20,- 689,000 to $23,011,005. Healthy increases these—the N. P. notwithstanding !
—It is natural, says the Empuire, that there should not be the;pieasantest feeling possible in San Francisco towards the diversion of trade from her harbor to nor- like Vancouver and
thern Canadian ports
Victoria. The steamship lines to these points are called ‘‘attempts to divert trade from its natural channels’—that is, of course, San Francisco. The idea that there is only room for one port on the} whole Pacific coast is absurd the Sanj Francisco Call gues that the > of | steamcrs betwee Hong Ki ind British | Columbia can never pay.

A moncton despatch to the St. John Telegraph (July 28) reports : . . . . | ‘Considerable interest was taken in the |
Seott Act case this afternoon before sitting magistrate Smith. William Armstrong was charged by Stephen Ryan (who was convicted of violationof the Scott Act on the 22nd inst. u testimony of Armstrong) with ‘Uniawfully procuring said Stephen Ryan to sell intoxi- ating liquor in violation of the Canada Tem perance Act contrary to the statutes madk and provided.’ He was convicted and fined $50 and costs, to be paid before the 6th of August ’
If the decision of the magistrate at Monc- ton be upheld, it will probably make liquor drinkers « little more careful than they have been. The idea that liquor-sellers only are the criminals has, no doubt, ren- dered the liquor-drinkers reckless. It is well that they should know that they are particeps criminis and liable to punishment as wellas their confederates who, contrary te the law, supply the liquor.
