It tions that it the the eduction of a people, and the pre vention of the oppression of a minor | ity by an unscrupulous majority. The highest Court of Appeal in the realm, after due deliberation, rendered judgment to the effect that the Catho- i lies are laboring under a most serious ' re " . erievance The nature of that griey is how well known. educational privileges had been en and of Parliament, state j wed by Catholics By act aid a public school system upon, their privileges taken away. such emergencies.

Accordingly the Catholic minority j} of Manitoba petitioned the Governor | General for redress hay | accor lance with a statute, introduced in-Council at the suggestion of Hon. Edward Blake, the Government referred the matter to the courts. Six questions had to be decided. These questi is embraced every possible doubt that the most astute man could suggest concerning the matter. The Supreme Court of Canada decided against the petitioners The latter appealed, with the result that the Judicial Committee of the Imperial Privy Council—after carefully considering not only the law bearing upon the case, but likewise the facts and arguments—delivered a most exhaustive judgment, dealing with every conceivable point of the The contention of the petitioners was unanimously sustained. The judgment established the right of the minority to appeal for such remed ial order as would remove their oriey ance, The duty of the Government was likewise indicated. with controversy. these instruc: tions the Government heard the appea i, and ferthwith issued the now famois Remedial Order, requesting the Mani- toba Legislature to restore to the com- plaining minority the privileges of which they had been deprived.

This request is made in; the form of a Remedial Order. I case the remedial decision is not obeyed, the law provides that the } education is Protestant { Catholics Invving anything to do with action that is agreeable, convenient or | be amiss to give some attention to these suggestions. Many who maintain that they are in favor of justice and fair play, argue that a commission should be appointed. Upon what question would that com- mission adjudicate?) Would it be their function to determine whether or not the finding of the highest court in the land is right? It would verily be a ludicrous exhibition, a political commis- sion examining the findings of the courts not their Lordships had properly con- ascertaining as to whether or strued the law, had _ sufficiently weighed the arguments, had ascer tained the facts of the case before diegning to render judgment! Similar to the litigant who having lost his case before the courts of justice judgment having been rendered against him in every court of appeal bbland- }iy suggested to his adversary that the matter be determined by three farmers whose duty it would be to “look into” the decisions of the courts, and correct revise and improve where necessary, Some may maintain that the facts of this should be aseertained Beyond the shadow of a doubt, the facts should have been known _ before a remedial issued. But pray, did not the courts consider the facts as well as the law? The facts obtained the sworn testimony of the many witness es examined in the Barret and Logan The facts relating to the state of Educational affairs, from 1870 down to [S90, were fully disclosed by state made on oath at these trials. Move Manitoba, a life-long Liberal both in local and Dominion polities, was forced to ad- mit this. “T am sure that these aflidavits will admit that the position of the Provinee case order was were on cases. ments James Fisher, He says: everyone who reads affecting education, and that every feature of the position that could affect or be affected by the grant- ing of relief to the minority, or by the operation of the law of 1890, was Every considera tion that could be suggested against the granting of relief because of interfer- ence with the rights of the majority most fully skown. was carefully disclosed and dwelt upon in the aflidavits filed in behalf of the And best of all the facts stated in the affidavits on were practically admitted on bot h sides to be true. There was no objection on either side to the statements of facts presented to the courts. The questions of fact were ful'y and exhaustively disc ussed by the counsel on either side, and dealt with by the courts.” It is mere shuffling to pretend to believe that full and accurate informa- tion is not yet obtained on a subject that had been in litigation for upwards of five years, and that has been a mat- ter of public discussior for a longer period. There is then no place for a com nothing that a | could investigate, unless it be assigned whether the geaid schools are Protestant It must las borne in mind that the Protestan- tisin of the the que stion at issue—it is a question of restoration of rights to the Catholic minority.

Catholic Normal Schools were abolished, while those of the Protestants were continu- ed, and the principal of the Protestant Normal School of Winnipeg was re- tained.

Examination of in the proceedings when our legisla- | tors are morally compelled to give this suvject their most serious consid- eration. To each and every member 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, stand boldly for the inviolable. sacred- 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 dec isions sense as to who of steel, on the side of those whose motto Is ; “Fiat justitia ruat coclum.” Let justice be done should the heavens fall. ae eee MR. GARLAND’S REPLY. Sin,—The Patriot of 16th inst., con- tains a series of letters attewpting to deny a few statements in my letter of 30th ult. The individual whose name is attached to the firat let er is uuwothy of any notice whatever. He may possess th» desire, but lacks the ability, to be a con- tributor. The author prefaces his letter by referring to a slight typographical error in the date of my letter which clearly demonstrates the hopeless plight in which the writer was placed when be attempted to reply. These letters are liable to create a false impression in the minds of those not ac quainted with the facts. Itis alleged that the opposition to tne sub-division of Glenfinnan Schoo! District came from two or three pereons, and that I was opyozed because I was not appointed Secretary of the Tarrentum District. I have only to say that I always aspired to a higher office and have ne desire to be in the com- panionship of euch gentry. I was oppos- ed to the scheme from the beginning. 1 fought, I considered, in the inte-ests of education and the — public I assisted in canvassing Glentinnan School District, aud obtained the names of twenty ratepayers on a petition, principa:- ly Liberals, representing $17,000 of the taxable property of the district, whilst the taxable property of those favoring the good rf change did not exceed $5,000. Of course it would not suit the man On the throne to inform the Patriot of the fact that a petition signed by nineteen out of a to'al of thirty.one ratepayers of Glenfinnan and Pond Settlement (the yositions of old 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. Joun T.

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.

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.

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. 1s 4 OO SR ed AF ® | 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. grapes. re- 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 one’s 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 indulge which which are not divine law about sins are sins arbi- these lives pleasing t » God if we excuse ours Ives from obedience to the jots an | tittles of the law on the ground that obedience or disobedience wakes little or no diffcrence.
