fCewliaaeret;
Though the newipaper Free, does credit
,   the Colony, yet   the credit would bo
greater still if a larger percctaage  of the
people were able to profit  by t*y  printed
pages.    According to Uie cousin of  1876, ,     „
it appears that 20,758 children eld not at- | P°™
tend school and that 18,935 did, tie  figt
for the corresponding ecauex iu Uiecen»u,
1809 beiug 10,219 and 18.811).    'i'.i- shows
a slight advance, but  thero i* ttill great
room fer progress.   The report* for  1879
of the Inspectors of Public Schools exhibit
an attendance al school of 1,'>.*J15.   These
Report* ire from Mr. "IL J.  Kelly. Superintendent of the Roman Catholic Schools,
from the Itev. G. S. Milligattand the- ll. v.
William Pilot, tho former being Suporiii-
tcndciit of the Methodist, and tbr latter of
the Church of Englaud Sohooli.    Air. Kelly
consider* the *chool under his euporv ,s, ,,,
to be   in a  most satisfactory  state.    Hath
Mr   Milligin and Mr. Pilot agree in thinking that, till  attendance  is made compulsory, a large number of children will grow
un ignorant of the rudiment, of education
Mr. Milligan holds tint, whilo public opinion is growing iu favor of educating all tlie
children,  yet that many persous  will not
send Iheir children to school unless  compelled by law to do so.    He notes _that the1
poorest parents are lite nvext apathetic.    He
instances ono esse where the teacher was in
fault ; raying thai" he was industrious but
that bis education was defective."    Another
entry is to the effect that "at Perry'* Cove,
the day not beiug fino and the teacher aged,
school was not open."   He adds that  this
worthy old man his since  retired from a
position for which old age had  long unfitted him.   Mr. Pilot  is emphatic   in   condemning tho  practice of employing incompetent  teachers, taking rare to point out
that the remedy it to pay adeei-iate salarit-a
iu order to ensure good icrvice.   Like Air.
Milligan, ho bewail* the apathy and indifference of parcuts respecting their children*!
education, rightly attributing it to tbe f**ol
tbat  tbe parent* are too Ignorant   them.

of compulsory attenelanco will bring about

great -candid and evil for Ireland not to bo

that the Irish mtion desire* to tako full
advantage of tbe Land .Vet, but Air. Parnell
ays, No. The Government will rely upon

. the geneeal education of *11." It iacl.-ar
that tbe existing arrangement ai to education is but provitional. Through it*
operation sectarian jealousy and atrife have
ceased. Bat, until all the children under
twelve are obliged to attend tcbool for a
given timo, it cannot be maintained tbat
Newfoundland enjoy* all tho benefit* which
flow from n comprehensive and thorough
system of national education.
Though tbe Island of Newfoundland ia na
large aa England, tho population number*
no more than 1-8,985; in Labrador whic'i
i* united to it there are 2416 persons. Io
1809 the total population wit l_fi,b3e, io
that tbo increue iu Newfoundland and
Labrador between' 13GJ and 1876 waa
14,838. Considering tho nature aud
extent of the Itland, tho number of
persona inhabiting It ia absurdly aniill.
The min of the peiple fin! it ha d to earn
daily breid. Upwardi of «100,000 are expended annually in relieving the poor. Tbo
mitfortuDQoi the people consists in tbe fishery being the only meant of livelihood and
that tbey do not seem disposed to embrace
any others. Indeed they look with suspicion
upon any harveat except that of the sea.
They have a saying that an acre of the sea
ia worth a thousand acres of land.
Il hat been proved that the Island
abound* in excellent timber, that there it
groeting-gronnd lufDtcient for rearing thousands of cattle, that there it land enough
to grow all tho grain required for home
conaumption aud leave a large surplus for
export I have examined tho Customs P, •-

ticio of clause* in the Treaty of Wits:,n,,i.,„
m^y get harmonized by diplomacy. Thai
treaty is as noteworthy as other mmil.n
d.-cuuienli for the vagueness of ita terms
Tint appears to be tbe great object of dip-
! ,:„ iti t.i. Just u plumbers seem to take
care to leave some damaged pipes wheu
they are called iu to put tho witor supply
to a bouse in good order and do so with
tho hope of being soon summoned to repair the mischief thoy hive wrought, to
diplotnatilta continue to leave treaties in
condition that controversy arises a*
ir precise purport and fresli negotia-
iave to bo undertaken with a view to
make term* intelligible and satisfactory to
the per >n*affected. Thotroatyof Utrecht,
which define** tho rights of the French at
the coast of Newfoundland, might be regarded a* an exception to tbo rule, a* it is
as clear as any instrum»nt of tho kind.
Yet it has been hold by the French to confer righta which do not seem to have occurred to ita framera.
By that treaty tlie French onjoy the right,
conthmod by subsequent treaties, of fishing
off the west coast of Newfoundland an ! e.f
.Irvine; lish on the shore, concurrently with
tlio tubjects ofthe British Sovereign. Th.ie
hits beeu interpreted by French' dipb.iia-
ti*ta to mean an exclusive right both to tfie
fishery nnd to tfiu occupatiou of tbo wett-
eru shore. A* Lord Palisierston observed,
in a masterly despatch on tho subject to
Count Setbaatiaui in lr.!*, a concurrent
right of enjoyment e.nnot pc.s.ildy mean *n
oxeliisive right to a particular privilege ; In-
added, "tho claim put forward o:i the part
of France i* founded simply upon iulereuce,
and upon an assumed Interpretation oi
wordt.'' Yet the French have protettel
against mining operations on the plea that
the land must bo reserved for thoir ex !.!■
aive ut*. The diitriet nbout which this
dispute exists it the favorite retort of ptr-
aom wlt* bare imperative reason* for dji-
likingttio police and who like thi* region
becauso policemen are uukoown in it, The
points at isailti between Francj and this
country concerning Newfexundlaud becom-)
more embarrassing as time passe* away.
In (uch * cose a* thia, delay is uuquestion-
.il.lv .huge-rout. Tho toonor a clear and
duiinite nudersiandiog is arrived at Uio
better for all parties. By a ayiteten of
bounties the French have given their fisbtr-
men a practical monopoly of fishing on tho
B inks of Newfoundland ; not a single British vessel being able to compete with thorn.
Thi* thoy aro free todo.but no valid authority
has yettxen shown by them for excluding
Britishsubj.'etafrom Britiah soil. When tlie
matter ia again dealt with.it woutd ba wist if
the statesmen of Newfoundland were represented on my commission which m'ght

I bavethowa how much there Ls in New-
fonndliod to attract and enric'i the woodman, the farmer aad the miner, in addition
to the original attra-ilioa which has mad* it

addresses were presented to him,

party criticiim. Mr. Glaelitono explained
tbo Liberal foreign policy to consist of two
main principle.,: ib.it ev,-iy foreign country
should be credited with the same good
motives as ourselves until it shewed the
contrary, and that every power wis entitled
to tho same right* and privilege*, irrespective of lite. It wis not for hiin, whoso
life waa drawing to an inevitable close, to
anticipate the long future they desired for
hiin, but bo would leave the affairs cf tbe
country in the bands of men in whom it
bid confidence. Referring to tlio unity of
tbo Liberal party ho said ho taw no tigo
of any auch diviaiout oa led to '.ta defeat in
187L Everywhere thero were signs of
uuiou, and he looked forward with satisfaction. Therj was mnch to bo done iu

trade proceeded from decrea*cd purchasing
power. He calculated tbit between 1878
and IS80 tin, country lost £2I,0ii>i,iiOO on
her export trade, but at much at £100,09J,-
ii.,< fi •■nn bad hirveeta. Referring to the
Trade, League, he aaid some persous
complained about Auieriein lirilTa; America sent us £.-l,(XO,0W worth of uiiuufae-
vbile we tent America from £1)0,01*0,-
£40.00J,0>0 worth. The "fairtrad-
era" wanted America to cease to bo ourcus
totner to this amount Alore '" unfair" lei
guer.t he never kno-v. If Sir Stafford
Northcoto di-vpproved of Mr. Lowlher'
suggestion of tl.o corn duty, it waa time t
speak intolligeully on tbe aubject. As cSir
Stafford Northeote had other ipeechct to
make toou, ho pcrhips would lay emphatically whether ho favored protection and *
corn duty. He himself would be no party
to a retrograde movement.
At tlio banquet given to Mr. Gladstone at
night fourteen hundred person* wero present Air. Glalstoue laid :—" Justieo to
Ireland is i snored duty, but can nover be
performed without eq ia! justice to England

Act may depend the greatest issues with

eulogized Sir Charles Gavan Daily for bit

Air. Dillon aaan opponent, but nu opponent
whom ho waa glad to honor, and added;
"I now have the painful duty of dealing

Only four years previous to the laudatory

than tlie prospect held out of locomotives

In   another   plane   the   »amo   Bovlew
