PEBATE ON THE JESUILS ESTATES BILL.

immediately after routine on the 26th, Mr. O’Brien brought up his resvlution re- ispeeting the Jesuits’ Estates Act, which he read as follows:— | ™ That an address be presented to the Gov- ernor-General, setting forth that this House regards the power of disallowing the acta of legislation of legislative assemblies of the pro- vinees of Canada vested in His Excellency in ‘Council as a prerogative essential to the ex- istence of the Dominion. | “That this great power, while it should /neyer be wantonly exercised, should be fear- leasly uxcd for the protection of the fanda- mental principles of the constitution and safe . guarding the general interests of the opie. ‘‘Thatin the opinion of this House the passage by the legislature of the Province of (Quebec of a bill entitled, An Act respecting the settlement of the Jesuits’ estates, is beyond | the power of that legislature;

VOL. 24.—NO. 106.

The act of incorporation of the Jesuits, which he held to be not worth the paper on which it was written, was the first attempt te establish a state church in Can- ada. The ebulition of public feeling against the Jesuits’ Estates Act was so great and so general that it could not be hoped that the matter should end with discussion in Parliament. the work of politicians. Scarce a politi®imf of note had appeared upon the platform in support of it; but private citizens of all classes and all shades of politics had joined in protesting against the sanction of foreign intermeddling with Canadian affairs, and against an infringement of the equality of religion guaranteed by law.

After recess Sir John Thompson said in presenting the reasons which justified the Government in assenting to the bill now under discussion, he would have to dwell at considerable length uyon details already presented, He was in a peculiar position upon this occasion. He wished to show in what position their estates stood for the

| * Firstly—Because it endows from public

fuads a reiigious organization, thereby violat- io showing that the Provinces were omni-

ing the unwritten but undoubted constitution-

jak principle of the complete separation of)in so far as the rights of the Dominion were

ichurch and state, and of absolute equality of ‘all denominations before the law. | ** Secondly—Because it recognizes the usur | pation of right by a foreign authority, namely, His Holiness the Pope of Rome, in declaring ‘his consent necessary to empower the provin- |cial legislature to dispose of a portion of the public domain, and also because the act is: 'made to depend on the will and the appropria- ‘tion of the grant thercbhy made is subject to ‘the control of the same authority, aud ‘« Thirdly—Because the Society of Jesus is }a secret and politico-religious body, the ex~ | pulsion of which from every Christian com- jmunity where it has had a footing was ren- jdered necessary by its intolerant and mis- ichievous intermeddling with the functions of | civil government ; Therefore this house prays that His Excel- | lency will be graciously pleased to disallow ithe act.

-Mr. O’Brien declares his desire to avoid the. religious side of the question and to deal only with the constitutional aspect. He would not have undertaken the re- jsponsibility of bringing before the house isuch a debatable subject were it not that he felt he was expressing the conviction of ithe people he represented and the great | majority of the people of Ontario. Though elected as a supporter of the administra- ition, he had, speaking in anticipation of | just such an event as the present, said that |regardissas of consequences he would oppose any attempt on the part of any religious } to exercise powers not guaranteed by treaty. He realized that the verdict of the house would be against his resolution, but he was willing to appeal from the jury of the house to the jury of the people, who, he thought, would unmistakably declare that no foreign authority, civil or religious, should be allowed to have any voice in its government.

Mr. Rykert rose to reply. Declaring himself an Orangeman, he ridiculed the threats made in certain newspapers of On- tario against such of the members of that order as should dare to oppose disallow- ance in this house. It was one of the first principles of the Orange order that civil and religious liberty should be maintained, but while contending for such liberty he did not feel called upon to join the alliance which had been formed against his Roman | Catholic fellow citizens.

After recess Mr. Rykert referred to the agitation which had been carried on with the object of having the Queen petitioned to disallow the act, and held such a veto to be out of the question. He cited preced- ents, notably the reply of Lord Carnarvon lto the New Brunswick appeal of 1875,

wherein he declared that while the me- | porial from residents of the Province had

isters could not advise her to disallow an act of a provincial legislature.

Mr. Barron (Libera!) followed in support of disallowance, and expressing regret that on this oceasion he would have to vote wpart from the majority of his party and against the views of his leader. Clark-Wallace argued in favor of disal- allowance.

purpose, not of defending the Jesuits, but potent to deal with these questions, except involved. Asa reward for their services

to this, one of the great colonies of France, the Jesuit order had been endowed with

these estates by the king of France and by private donors, to be used for purposes of education in

Canada. At the capitulation the conquering power took only what the power conquered had held, but by the Jaw of nations he was powerless to take the property movable or immovable of the people of the province. It had been said that by the terms of the capitulation the Jesuits and ail their pro- perty were put at the mercy of the con- querors, but he quoted from article 34 of the terms of the capitulation of Montreal, whereby all religious communities were al- lowed to preserve all their estates. It was true that subsequent statutes vested these lands in the Province of Quebec, and as to the contention of McOarthy, that therefore Quebec had a legal title to them, he did not dispute. This was adinitted, and ali that was said in support of this act was that there existed a moral claim to some degree of compensation, little or much, which was binding upon the conscience of the legisla- ture of Quebec. As pie?e by piece was put into the market, the province was met by protests most formal and solemn from the hierarchy of Quebec against diverting it from its intended use. These protests had clouded the title of the province and in one instance had had the effect of having a most valuable piece of property opposite the cathedral in Quebec drawn from the market after having been offered for sale. lf the house would bear in mind the various steps relating to the property, and would then read the statute which it was asked to disallow, the terms would cease to be ob- noxious to any reasonable man. The con- stitution had charged him with no legal right to inquire into the constitution-

ality of a province yielding to a moral right. His Excellency was not clothed with authority to step

in and investigate every piece of legislation passed by the legislature. This moral claim may have been weak as air, but it was strong in the judgment of those who the constitution solemnly appointed to decide. This authority carried with it a

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.

TuHusspay, March 28.

The Act relating to lunatics and the custody «* lunatics was read a third time and passed.

House went into Committee to consider the bill entitled, *‘ An Act respecting writs of execution issued out of the Suprenie Court.”

Progress reported.

Hon. Mr, Sullivan introduced a Act re- specting Justices of the Peace, and an Act amending the Prince Edward Island Joint Stock Company’s Act, both of which were ordered to be read a second time to-mor- row.

Mr. Wise asked what action the Govern- ment intended taking in the matter of help- ing a blind man named LeClair who lived in his district,

Hon. Mr. Sullivan explained that Le- Clair’s case had been reported to the Gov- ernment last year by Mr. Donald McKay, of Oyster Bed Bridge, and assistance had been rendered him; this year the same course would be pursued.

Mr. Neil McLeod submitted the report of the Poor House Commissioners for 1888. House adjourned,

Fripay, March 29.

Hon. Mr. Arsenault presented a petition from James Ramsay and others, praying for au act to incorporate the trustees of the Public Hall at Hamilton, Lot 18. A billin accordance therewith was received and read a first time.

Mr. Matheson presented a petition from the ratepayers of Alberton school district, praying for an amendment to the Public Schools Act by which the term allowed for payment of school debentures shall be ex- tended to twelve years instead of seven, as at present.

Hon, Mr. Sullivan said that the matter had been under the consideration of the Government, and a bill was partly drafted — founded on the recommendation of the Superintendent of Education—which would, no doubt, meet the views of the petitioners.

Hon. Mr. McLeod introduced a bill en- titled an Act to alter the present method of reckoning time. The bill provides that the standard of time adoptod by the Inter- colonial Railway being the standard of the 25th meridian, shall be adopted as the standard in this Province.

Hon. Mr. McLeod moved the House into committeeon the Bill entitled *‘An Act to amend and consolidate the Acts referring to the affairs of St. James’ Cherch, Char-

lottetown.” It was reported agreed to. ee = Local Other Items.

But having no connection whatever with the dissolved body, they had no moral or legal claim whatever.

By the choice, he had a mght to say to one: or the other: This is a fair settlement between you, and [, as your supreme arbi- ter, have aright to so settle the dispute between you.” It was only by a reference such as this that a resolution could be reach- ed involving a payment once and once only. In conelusion, for the sake of the good will and kindly charity of ail our people, two principles must be allowed to prevail in the goverament of the country —first, that as regards theological questions the state must have nothing to do with thei ; and second, that as regards the control of the D minion over provincial jegislatures, 'no section of the country, whether it be the \great province of Quebecor the humblest | province of the confederacy, should be dealt |with in accordance with the legislature of \seven years ago. Mr. McNeill followed, speaking for only ‘a few minutes in support of the disallow- ance resolution.

Hon. David Mills moved the adjourn- ‘ment of the debate. It wasthen 11.40 and Sir John Macdonald objected that the de- bate might proceed for an hour yet How- ever, at the earnest solicitation of Mills, Cartwright, Mulock and Laurier, the ad- |journment was agreed to. | Sir John and Mr. Laurier stated that they would do their best to have the debate ended t0“inorrow. | The Honse adjourned at 11.50.
