The Domion Parliament is again in in session, and is annouuced tliat the Maiatoba school question is settled. Q The Cuban situation continúes to improve, the rebels have secured two successes, and althougb reinforceroents have been promised General Weyler to to the number of 80,000 men it is believed that because of the Spanish Liberal party's opposition to the increase of the war debt, they will not be sent, and a settlement will be reached. O The visit. of Lord Rnssel of Killowen, Lord Chief Justice of England, tuay ba hailed not merely as the coming of the greatest legal advocate England bas known, nor as that of one of highest official dignitaries of the Empire, bul as the coming of a really great man. Ëajoying the largest professional income of any' man in England, about .$75,000, :it a serious pecuuiary sacrifice, be accepted a seat in the court of appeal as Lord Chief Justice. He is an instructivo example to those who believe salary more important then positiou. Recent events indícate that the occasion of the Irish questiou is not only the landlordistpolicy of the Euglish government but also the existence of parties in Ireland. Although Mr. Balfour's Sand Bill passed became law, contrary to the expectations of many, two days later we were informed of riots in Belfast between Catholics and Orangemen.

O THAT UNFORTUNATE PLATFORM. The utterances of the English press upon the presidential campaign are full of interest. It is almost unanimous in its belief that the election of McKinley and the return of the United States to a policy of protection would be" disastrous to England's industrial and commercial interests, yet in spite of the hostility to McKinley, it cannot but teil the truth about Bryan and the Chicago platform. The London Satruday Review for instance, speaks of the platform "as a kind of belated Jacquerie, none the less terrible because its wild hatreds and savage cravings are directed, not against the flerce and desptioc feudal lords of of the middle ages, but against the placid and well ordered rich classes in a republic at the close of the nineteenth century." It inight be in order for some patriotic American to rise and say, "Mr. Saturday Review, the Chicago Jasquerie was a Friday farce only. ÏSTovember will fiud no Jacks at all.
