of the Dominion Parliament, the most
erave and far-reé ching questions pre:
sent themselves. Shall the constitar
tion of our country be maintaiped
in its integrity, or shall the sacred |
compacts of the people be sacrificed: to

the clamour of prejudice? Shall we as
parliamentarians, in harmony with
every rule of British statesmanship,

of treaty rights, and let justice
prevail, or shall we, at the expense of
honor, and contrary to the decision of

ness

‘the Courts, in order to gaim a hittle

cheap popularity,
at. but actually sanction the triump!.
of expediency over right ?

No doubt many so-called _ parlin-
mentarians will endeavor to avoid grap-

sorting to some subterfuge. Indeed,
already many courses have been sug-
gested other than that of legislating
_—many plausible arguments advanced
against interference on the part of the
Federal authorities, It may not then

not only eonnive | fice, under the new regime.

’
pling directly with the question, by re- |

motives that prompt to action, didactic talks,

}- teaching the Ten Commandments, etc., are

means to be employed. :

As Archbishop ache says: “W hat
cannot be said by a talented and zeal-
ous professor, charged with the teach-
ing of the ‘Ten Commandments, hav-
ing to help him, his influence and eXx-
ample, the gecalling of current inci-
dents, in narrating to his scholars
stories, memory gems, in insisting on
the sentiments in the school lessons,
and the examinations of motives that
prompt to action in making didactic
talks, and adding to all that an etc.
(et. cetra) as large, if it pleases him, as
his own religious ideas?

All these means put ir the hands of
an intelligent and clever person, suf-
as well as
‘onder the old, ‘for the introduction in
the school of a systematic religious mn-
struction contained in the Bible,
accepted by all Protestant denom-
inations.’ ”

The best proof that the said schools
are Protestant, is to be found 30 the

admission of Mr. Joseph Martin, M.P. |

Here are his words: “When I inéro-

_duced the School Bill of 18go, I said

-and I still think, that the clause of the

“7

and |

1890 act, which provides for certain re-
ligious excercises, is most unjust to the
Roman Catholics. If the state is to
recognize religion in its school legisla-
tion, such a recognition as is accept
able to Protestants only—and in fact
only to a majority of Protestants
my mind, rank tyranny.”

Another objection is raised to inter-
ference at the present juncture as be-
ing too hasty. It is pleaded that time
should be given to the Greenway Gov
ernment, and that they should be ap-
proached in a friendly conciliatory spirit.
Considering taat the minority have
been persistently pleading tor redress,
for five long years, that petitions from
every nock and corner of the Domin
ion have been forwarded to the gov
ernment praying for interference, that
the Greenway Government has not as
sisted in investigating tne facts, but
that it has done everything-possible to
oppose it, that an order-in-council
passed at Ottawa on July 26th, 1894,
was forwarded to Manitoba, appealing
to the Government there to take upon
itself the task of settling the question;
considering too that the said memorial
was couched in the most befitting
language—fair, just, friendly and con-
ciliatory; considering all these, it is ab
surd to advocate further delay.

Some few oppose remedial legisla-
tion on pretense of being averse to
coercion. Who are the coercionists ?
Undoubtedly the Manitoba Govern
ment. ‘Those who are opposed to
coercion are agitating for redress—ask
ing for prevention of this coercion.
Minority rights are being trampled
upon—it is not a question of Provin-
cial rights. The people are required
to consider not the projec ted coercion
of a Province by the Federal Parlia

is to

ment, but the actual coercion of a
weak minority by the Provincial
authorities.

A Province of this Dominion, total
disregard of constitutional
enforces upon a section of its people, a
law which even its very framers ac-
knowledge to be “rank tyranny;” those
whosc duty it is, are asked to inter
vene and prevent this abuse. Such is
the case submitted for solution. Our
legislators will, in the near future, be
called upon to put themselves on re
cord either for or against this “rank
tvranny.” When that time arrives,
surely but few will be found to oppose
justice. Should there be even a few,
so devoid of honor, s9 callous to all
of moral right, resist the
redress of grievances, then the Cana-
dian Electors should deal with them
as their conduct merits. Those fana
tical, unscrupulous agitators who are
endeavoring to stir up the passions and
prejudices of the masses, should be
hounded out of public life. ‘Those
who endeavor to deceive the populace
by resorting to miserable subterfuges
should meet a like fate. ‘Those
sanction the tyranny of the majority
over the minority, should have no
voice in the legislative halls of a free
people. It is our firm conviction that
the free and independent electors of
this broad Dominion will be found on
the side of those who stand for British
fair p!ay--on the side of those who re
gard our constitution as a frame-work

G'enfinnan left after Webster’s Corner
school was fermed) asking for reunion was
sent to the Education Office, which should
prove conclusively that more than one or
two “intolerant cranks” opposed the
change. He purpurts to write from Tar-
rentum district, but quotes Webster’s Cur-
ner school, which he boasts has an aver-
aze of 33, whi'e Tarrentum has 14} and
Glenfinnan 1l—about sufficient for one
school. But the present economical gov-
ernment can affurd to grind from the tax-
payers of this country exhorbiiant taxes,
and pay, contrary to the provisions of the
school law, two teachers for doing the
work of one. He asserts my first
charge was Sherry’s Bridge deal. I
never made that charge. It was made by
“FA.” ya late issud of Tue Examiner.
He produces a letter from Mr. Charles
Fisher, to which I appendareply. Mr.
Fisher says he was appointed foreman by
the Commissioner of Public Works, but
did not state at what sum per day, or what
the work cost, or that it was done by the

Webster’s Corner school district, or that J, |

H. Cummiskey’s servant man and horses
were on the work, or what has become of
the supervisor. Has he been superannu-
ated? Then comes the screed signed “John
F. Lafferty.” I» reply to this I p int to
the letter of Mr. T. J. Sherry. Tueu Mr.
Alexander McDonald was not the secretary
of the Glenfinnan echcol last vear, but says
the rates were all paid long ago, which
might mean before the flood. On this
point I appeal to the letter of Mr. Jo3. Jen-
kins. Next comes the certificate of Charles
J. McCarthy. Against this I place the

letter of Mr. Maurice O’Connell. Will Mr.
McCarthy be kind enough to prove that no

argument was used in canvassing Fort
Augustus to get a school at Websiers

Corner and exclude the Protestants? I
can produce, if necessary, two ratepayers
who are prepared t» prove tne language
used, Last!y,is a letter from “D. McLeod.”
There are numbers of D. McLeod. If
he is the Chief Superinteadent of Educa-
tion he is known as D. J. McLeod. He
says he examined the Webster’s Corner
sehool on the above date; but the Patriots
readers look in vain for the date above. I
fail to discover the purpose. No reference
was made to the school particularly, and
if there had, beg to remind the Chief
Superintendent that he misled two rate-
payers f om this section last wiuter. Are
the people now justified in accepting his
statement 2 Mr. Cummiskey has ascended
the throne a century too late. The right
divin- to govern wrong is not now recog-
nized in Fort Augustus.

ODDS AND ENDS.

IT DOES THE BUSINESS,

If you want to know what Miller’s
Emuision cf Norwegian Cod Liver Qil
will do for a consumptive patient ask one
who has tried it. Ask anyone who has
used it in lung troubles of any wind. What
they say about Miller’s Emulsion shall be
its recommendation. It is the finest pre-
paration of its kind in the world, and is
worth its weight in gold to a consumptive
sufferer, whom it will raise from a bed of
sickness to health and s rength of body

and mind, giving a new lease
of life. Thousands testify to
the value of Miller’s Munu'sion.
Miller’s Emulsion is the great nerve

strengthener and blood maker, and cnres
Coughs, Co! is, Bronchitis, Scrofala and
all Lung affections. In big bottles, 50c.
and $1, at all drug stoves.

Glass stopping for Cecayed tceth is said
to be commonly used by dentists in Ber-
lin.

Counterfeits

A few yearsago agreat discovery was
made,

Unprincipled persons are trying to prey
npon and dupe people who are led to ask
for kidney treatment.

Some of the methods adopted by imitat-
ors are as follows:

First—To imitate the size, color and
shape of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and sel]
them by count.

Second—To put them up to appear very
nearly the same and to be offered at the
same price.

Third—To hook on the word “kidney”
in naming cathortic pills so as to increase
sales of mere physic.

Fourth—To givea name so near to
Dodd’s that unwary people may be deceiv-
ed and think they are getting Dodd’s.

Look out for snch dodges. When you
want kidney medicine you want the best.
And ought not to be the subject for any
trick.

So beware.

You can Jead aman anywhere by the
nose of his self-esteem.

The Weather tor Colds.

This is the time when colds are in the
fashion-——every body who is anybody has
one, if not himself there’s one in the

family. For no complaint under the sun
are there more remedies than for a cold in
the head, but of the thousands Chase’s
Catarrh Cure is the best. “In twelve
hours I was cured ofa bad cold in the
head by Chase’s Cure,” writes Miss Dwyer,

“To My Life’s End.’

Old age brings many aches and_ pains
which must be lvoked after if health is to
be maintained. This depends more than
anything clse on the kidneys. “I am 85
years old,” writes A Duttin, farmer, Aulte-
ville, Ont., “and have had kidvey trouble
five vears. My son advised Cha-e’s Kid-
ney-Liver pills, and I obtained immediate
relief. I sball use them to my life’s end.”
You will find Chase’s Pills equally eftect-
ive for that lame back.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

—---

Rheumatism of 20 years’ standing
radically cured by Scott's
Sarsaparilla.

Mrs. Sarah Browning, an estimable
resident of the Ambitious City, was for
twenty vears a sufferer from acute rheu-
matism, and her restoration to health is
soremarkable that we present the case
for the bemefit of our readers, many of
whom are doubtless sufferers from this
painful complaint which arises from blood
poison, Mrs. Browning says: “1 used
only one bottle of Scott’s Sarsaparilla and
received such benefit that I continued
taking only at intervals for two months.
That is seven months ago, and the pain
has not returned. I had spent a fortune
in various “ treatments ” and was told by
one medical man that a cure was lmM-
possible as I had suffered solong.”

Scott’s Sarsaparilla cures by making
and keeping the bloodpure. Itincreases
flesh by digesting flesh-forming foods.
It is the most successful medicine in the
world to-day, for dyspepsia, nervous
troubles, rheumatism, sciatica, syphilitic
afflictions, pimples and all diseases
originating in a foul condition of the
blood. Dose from one half to one tea
spoonful.

FRUIT TRIBUTES,

Ihe Up-to-Date Young Man's Latest
Offering to His Lady Love.

The latest requirement laid upon the
pocket and affections of the generous
offering of fruit to
admiration. She is

it, and the very up-to-
is no more the swain’s
good friend than is the florist or
fectioner.

To send a modest present of fruit this
winter will be a test of affection, in-
deed, since the dealer has taken coun-
sel with himself and learned the virtue
of offsetting his wares with ribbons and
baskets of wondrous marufacture.

It all happened because a finicky
young man ordered several pounds of
luscious hot-house grapes, golden pear!

youny man is the
the lady of his
going to expect
date fruiterer

con-

pears and late Virginia peaches to be
sent to his betrothed on her arrival
from Europe. He refused to have them
delivered in the usual plain but honest
and inexpensive paper bag. So the
fruit dealer bought a rustic cornucopis

basket, woven of green and brown
cedar bark, supported on three tall
legs) This he lined with autumn
leaves, heaped in the fruit with no

inartistie hand, droped around in the
nooks English walnuts and chestnuts
still in the half-open burr, and tied all
the curled end of the cornucopia with
masses of russet brown and purple
ribbons. The basket met with so
many compliments and approval, that
both the girls who saw it and the
fruiterer himself were delighted. The
exacting young man paid out just $10
for his gift, and so implicated all his
fellow-men.

The way to @ maiden’s affections now
lies by the way of a fruit basket, and
some of them are really wortb having.
Until the very latest moment in thie
season peaches will be the one desired
contents forthose, made of gilded and
silver oat straws, woven in with differ-
ent colored satin ribbons, lined with
big green silk leaves, the peaches ar-
ranged ina pyramid, wearing ribbon
belts and bows around their fat, rosy
bodies.

Next in order are countrymen’s hats,
of a curious sunburnt straw, filled with

pears; and prettiest of all, round,
rough flat baskets made of brown
wythes, with big loop handles and
piled with green and deep purple

These baskets are in imitation
of those the grape gat herers use in Bur-
gaunéy. They are tied with red and
green satin ribbons; somewhere amid
the bows is caught a pair of cunning
little grape scissors, and already, with
the arrival of early oranges, have come
lovely green palmetto baskets, woven
in big broad concave platters, the
handles of twisted orange satin rib-
bons, one of them holding a little fruit
knife.

Every basket of oranges is picked
specially with a stem and one green
leaf attached, and though these baskets
cost $10, $12 and $15, the really ex-
pensive ones are trimmed with bon-
bons. The confectioners make cunning
imitations in papier mache of pears,
peaches and apples and fill them with
assorted chocolates. A handsome bas-
ket has at least half a dozen of these
pretty bonbonnieres set amid the other
fruits, and one gift of fruit made
cently bya New York swain was a
Chinese mandarin’s hat filled with wee
mandarin oranges, some of which fell
open to show Japanese persimmons in-
side, candied currants. sugared
cherries, or crystalized citron.

Little Sins.

Many appear to think that it is only
important to keep self from
grievous sin. If one that he is
white enough, they say, for this world.
The little sins which are so common,
what matters it whether we endeavor to
guard against them or not? God is
lenient. He will not treasure them up
against us. He knows we are human,
aixi do not the little sins, these almost
colorless acts from which angels, and
angels only, of all created beings. are
free, simply show the weakness of our
humanity? Thisis dangerous plead-
ing. Sincan never be anything but
offensive in the sight of God and the
heavenly host. The greater and more

does

continuous, the more offensive; the
less grievous, the less offensive. There

are no white sins. If an act or thought
is white it is not a sin; if itis a sin it
is not white, If we are to give an ac-
count for every idle word, if we are to
keep ourselves unspotted from the
world, if we are to have pure religion
and undefiled, we must not
loose notions

allowable and
allowable. If there is a
against an act, that act is sin; and if
we hold to the contrary we impeach
the wisdom of the #lmighty law-giver
and accuse Him of making laws
trarily and without reason. It may be
tuat, with all our watchfulness, we
shall not always avoidl lesser
offenses: but it is certain that we can-

not expect to live
