There is • place and an opportunity not to be despised for the country newspaper work- er, and with this, as with %ll large opportuni- ties, |a serious obligation to careful, thorough honest work, writes Edwin A. Start in the New England Magazine. It is not too much to say there is no bettw field for an intelligent well-eqaipped man of large symathies and vigorous peraonaUty tban the editorid ehair of a country newspaper, nor is there a position which places on a man greater duties to the community in which he lives. The editor of the great metropolitan newspapers rests on the heights of impersonal journahsm flinging their thunderbolts with a freedom born of almost entire personal irresponsi- bility; and while the thunderbolts are in great pait shattered on the rocks below, the country editoi walks with the multitude in the valley, gives the weight of his personality to the impersonal words of his paper, which comes to the people like the warm handclasp of a friend, measures his words in accordance with the peculiarities -of his constituents, and influences the thought and feelings of hundreds where the thunderbolt of the un- approachable Jove strikes one. It was a successful country editor in a thriving Massachusetts town who once sagely remarked that, if he were a candidate for I ofQce, and must take his choice between the combined support of the metropolitan diiiUea and that of the country press, he wpuld choose the latter, and accept with equAuimity the hospitality of his city brethern. Every countty editor knows that he was right The great dailies, so-called, are received in the abstisct as vendors of the world's news. Their resources in this direction are great and cannot in the nature of' things be rivaled by those at the command of country papers of limited circulation. But the country paper comes nearer to the hearts of the peo- ple at large it is more thoroughly read, and it has an influence all the greater because it is one of those subtle, unrealized every-day forces of life. It is neld rigidly to account for the honest and fairness of its utterances It cannot palm off on its leaders what are well known in the slang of the newspaper fraternity as "fakes " it must be reliable first of all. Neither can it violate moral decency to any marked extent and prosper, as can its city neighbors. In ^most communities its constituency is largely fpund in the churches, and will not tolerate vulRaiity. The country newspapers stands to dwellers oatside the large cities in the place of a friend and home visitor, and it is essential that it maintain the good charactei and pood breeding that are required of other friends, if it would keep warm its welcome in the home circle.

KWGSTOK. AprU JO.â€" M. J, Matopey, who studied several years in Kingston for the priesthood, but who is now a notary public in Ghicaeo. writes an important letter on separate schools to the News, from which the following is taken Now,lefe;n8 look at the question as reason- able men, not as blind fanatics. The Catholic ratepayers cannot afford firstrclass teachers in their schools; they cannot hire teachers with first and second clajs certificates. This the lamented Father Stafford admitted with pain and regret. The KiugHton faeparate school board cannot hire any such people to teach in their schools. The consequence is the teachers are religious people, unacquaint- ed with the condition of things prevailing in the world. Their mind is bent on religious ideas and the best methods of attaining re- ligious perfection. I do not wish to reflect on, or derogate from, the teachings of those conducting the separate schools of Kingston, but 1 claim, and justly, too, that the world of to-day requues our children to be ekilled in science and art â€" more of the profaut sub- jects in our sohools, less of religion. Now, let me ask what inducements has a boy or girl to study for teachers' certificates m the Catholic schools I know joung ladies in Kingston who graduated from the Catholic schools with honors, even went through the convent, and of what benefit to them has been the polished erudition they possess? Can one of them obtain a position as teacher in a public school in their native Kingston? No because the public school board said empatically they did not want Catholics as teachers in their schools, and they were right in saying so, because only the children of taxpayers in these schools can claim such benefits. The Catholic people ignore these schools. They claim that only Catholic schools are fit abodes for their children to be instructed in, and they must take the conse- quences. Can the ladies to whom I refer obtain a position at a reasonable salary in the separate schools Now, the result, as can easily be seen, is. had we but one school â€" the public school â€" all would grow up. on the same footing of equality; all would be cit'zeus and no power on earth could prevent a (.Catholic in such s coniition of things from teaching in the public schools. The Hon. C. F. Fraser is a clever man, but he knows no honest reason can be adduced in support of not having the separate school trustee election by ballot, and he knows further that the intelligent and ii liberal- minded Catholics of Ontario favor the hold- ing of the elections by bnllot and believe the separate schools could be dispensed with and their abolition not injure reliKion or morali- ty.

It is a scheme hatched by Messrs. Mowat and Fra;er to wheel the Catholic electorate into line in support of that Crovemment â€" a marketable article in the eyes of the Grit political hucksters whidi is saleable to the highest bidder. Mr. Fraser hopes m this way to consolidate the Catholic electorate on the side of Mr. Mowat and his clique, who have done the Catholic ieople of Ontario very scant justice indeed, and to whom the Catholic people of Ontario owe little, if anything. A glance at the good positions in Kingston awarded by the Gov- ernment will tell any honebt man that not one is held by a Catholic. I oppose the drag- ging of religion into national politics. The Mowat Government know their past record is bad they have grown corrupt in office the public good demands that they be thrown out of power. The keen-sighted Fraser sees a golden opportunity of retaining power by stirring up the school question and setting the adherents of the Catholic church on the warpath against the majority of the province. May such an e£fort be frustrated, and for that end I hope the Catholic electorate of Ontario will be men, and show that they cannot be hoodwinked by a man who holds a position in the Mowat Cabinet because he is a Catho- lic and has no more oonoern about the intarests or welfare of his oo-reUgionists than a hoodoo ha« for the welfare of the American republic. equal political ngbtsfor all its citizens, women as well as men.
