CANADIAN BISHOPS AND THE THE ENGLISH TONGUE.
The Home correspondent of the "Tablet" (London) writes;—" The 'Acta Apostalicao Sedis' published this week announces the creation of the new diocese of Regina in, Canada. The appointment of the 'first titular will be awaited with much interest in the Do- ' minion. Hitlierl.o all the Middle' West of Canada has been under the jurisdiction of French-Canadian prelates. -This condition of things is a survival of the time when the country was sparsely populated, and that by French Canadians. But the extraordinary development of recent years brought about by immigration entirely non-French has completely changed the aspect of things. French is hardly spoken at all outside the province of Quebec and part of the province of Ontario, and there is reason to believe that tho Roman authorities have recognised that tho future of the Catholic Church in this, part of the new World depends upon bishops and priests whose language is linglish. Your correspondent believes that it has already been decided to appoint an English-speaking prelate for Regina."
