far asthe public are concerved)
nection with the Manitoba Questies. says :
“It is surprising that notwithstanding all the eloquenee.aad criticism expended upon the Manitoba controversy, oue of the most important points, if noi the most important, sbould pass almo~t unnoticed Of course, if the contention of some peo- ple, that the question is an open one, and that the only point invelved is whether we want Separate Schools or not ix correct, then anvone may take sides according to his inclinatioa, and no barm is done. But in view of the fact that the judgment of the Privy Council in terms cflirms that the Roman Catholic minority of Manitoba have a grievance and that that grievance shotid be r. dressed,-it is ditficult to con- conceive of any honest man ho'ding the epinion that we may do as we please with
Teference to the grievance, ViZ., redress it or not. Now, what 1 wish to point out is the very serious effect likely to be produced, not
upon the illiterate and uncultivated classes alone, but upon ali the orders of suciety by urging them to refuse that redres~ which the law requires should be given Five minutes conversation with apy ayer~ age lawyer will show a layman that he has no accurate knowledge of the rea! bearings of the question, which is a purely legal ove. I constantly see that clergy men ad~ drese their congregations against the pro- po-ed remedial measure, and yet I venture to affirm that not one of these gentlemen could give « lawyer a !ist of the documents that bear upon. the coutroveisy much less atlirixi that ne bad read them, even as suming his capacity to interpret them. In this category are sume Methodist divines, whose remarks I have seen in the daily papers. Fancy John Wesley being gurlty of conduct of thiskiod. It is the - tast thing ia the world he would have done. He would have been the fir-t to perceive aod afficm wha: is tue most serious aspect of the controversy, viz. that trndermine the foundations of public au- thority, to impugn the binding character of a solemn public engagement, and above al! todebauch the masses from their al- legiance to jaw and order were crimes in comparison with which tLe question ot whether there should bea few separate schools in Manitoba sink into utter insig~ nificance. We have, in respect for cors‘i iuted authority, so far maintained an hon orable pre-eminence over our neighbors to the south, ameng whdm, a+ we all know, thege is a lawlesenees which shocks us. But 3f we are confronted with s»eh exhi-~ bt ons as are now taking place in which men of talent and authority in the com-~ munity meuleate the doctrine that we are to abide by the law only 80 long and ia so far as it comports wishes, then we must be prepared to see the same evidences of restiveress and chating under restraint which we deplore elsewhere, It
to
with our own
should be the mission of Protestant di- vines to condemn there loctrines and to enforce the duty of im- plicit ~ obedience to constituted author- ity witttOut reference toa consequences,
Diatribes against the Church of Rome are utterly out of place and beside the ques- tion. even if they were marked Ly a spirit of Christian clarity or truthfulness either in conception or delivery. The fact is that ‘the “Roman Catnolic minority -of Manitoba hold a promissory note against us, and it is no answer to their suit to af- firm that we don’t like them orthat they are well enough off without colleeting this debt from us. The Privy Council say they have.a grievance. The High Court of Parliament has power to redress that grievance. What would we say ofan ordinary court of justice which would aay to a suitor, ‘Yes, true we have jurisdiction ip your cause, trae you show 4 grievance, true it is our function to remedy it, but we don’t like you and your opponent is our friend.’ The point to be insisted upon, in season and out of season, is,in my opin- ion, the deplorable effects likely to be pro- duced apon thre pubiic.con icience by sanc
tioning amy*courre at variance with the compact at bar.” We need not say that this is the view
which Tus Examiner has presented from the beginning. But though its truth is beyond quéstion, some of the people’s re~ presentatives io Parliament and men out of Parliament who are ignorant of the question, continue their opposition and obstruction to the passage of the Remedial Bill

DAILY EXAMINER - : . °
Wepvespay, April 15.
| Houee met at 3.30.
| Mr. Godkio presented a petition from Gilbert DesRoches, C. R. Dickie, George Squarebrigs and others, of Miscouche, ask- ing that an act be passed for the protec- tion of the industry of cranberry culture.
Laid on the table
Mr. Blanchard asked the Leader of the Government to table a statement in detail, | showing the amount received by the Gov- ernment for fines imposed and fines collect ed under the “Canada Temperance Act,” the names of tLe persons on whom fines were imposed, and the amount of fines col | lected from each pesaon respectively. Mr. MeKinnon asked the Commissioner of Publie Works if a petition from John | P. Bradley. Peter McLeod and others had been received asking for a new road from St. Teresa’s post office to the road leading | from Lorne Valley to Doherty’s settlement on Lot 52, and whether the Government will open the said road |} On motion of Mr. Warburton, the bill incorporating the Crapaud Creamery Compaoy was reaia third time apd passed.
Mr. Warburton moved that the Honse vo into committee en the second reading lof the bill incorporating the trustees of |} the Presbyterian Church at Rove Valley. | Mr. Rogers (Alberton) moved = it
amendment that the bill be read a second time this day six months, Afier d-scussion, the amendment was | put and csrried on division, Messrs. Sin- being the only dis-
|
i clar and Warburton sentients,
| Mr. Warburton resumed the debate on
the motion to go into committee of supply.
|He said he had listened = atten- i tively to the Leader’s able speech | reviewing the financial condition of the prov ince. He had also listened with
| pleasure to tle speech of the Leader of the
Upposition, which was all too short. Me
regretted this latter fact, as it was always la great pleasure to hear the hon. member, as his speeches were always couched in the choicest Janguage and his classical allu- sions always pleasant. But his politieal utterances are generally erroneous, and to some of his statements along this line it was his intention to refer. He opened with the statement that the Leader of the Government bad !abored hard to make black appear white. He (Mr. Warburton) did not agree with this statement, and = it occurred to him that the hon. gentleman had sat fortwelve years in this Honve hearing his leaders trying to make black appear white. Truly ttie hon. member would te lonely without a defeat, and would not like to bid it farewell.
The statement that there was more ex- penditnre now on the roads and bridges than in the years gone by is true. When the government came into pow er five years ago they found the roads and bridges in a terrible state. While he deplored the deficit, still money must be spent to repair the works which had been neglected by their prede- cessors. When the floods came the struc- tures built by the former Government were swept away.
The Leader of the Opposition referred to the deficit. But did he forget that $10,000 of that is caused by the $200,600 they drew from our capital al Ottawa? Beside, they must take the re-ponsibility for the interest on the debentures we had to issue to pay off the debt they contracted.
The Leader of the Goverament referred tothe floods which occurred last year, } when bridge after bridge was swept away | in the county and the Government had to } rebuild them. The Leader of the Opposi tion said there was oaly one flood and that was in the Third District. There was no flood there, but there was a deluge, and his friend, Mr. Gallant came in o ite crest.
This country is not going back, and he was pleased that the Leader of the Op- nosit‘on did not decry its credit although
y¢ says we are going back. Whose fault is this? Scme years ago a prophet came here and promised all sorts of prosperity. But al! has ended in smoke.
The Lealer cf the Opposition stated that he and three of his colleagues had left one goveroment because of over ex- peuditure. That, however, was not che true reason. They left because their Leader was a Liberal and would not sup- port protection.
The Lealer of the opposition said he was a member of a company that run the Hillsborough ferry with one boat and made money. Ue did not know what year it was, but wonld like to hear from those who patronized the ferry if it wae satisfac- tory. He would a!so like to know if what was satisfactory in those days would meet the requirements of the present day. A com- pany would run this ferry solely to make money out of itand woul i make no improve- ments. As a matter of fact, during the past three or four years very material improve- ments have been made on that ferry.
The Leader of the Opposition seemed surprised at the detic t, although the pariy to which he belongs lave deficits every- where, and he and his friends are well used tu them.
Mr. Warburton then put in a plea for either iron or stone bridges—works of a permanent character—in order to get clear of the everlasting spending of public money for repairs. He wouldask the Heuse to
seriously consid rthis matter and take steps for the building of bridges which would last for generations.
In jubilant tones the Leader of the Gov ernment referred to the happy timecoming when a change would take place in the Federal Government. It was true that Sir Bichard Cartwright, Hon. Edward Blake and Sir Leonard Tilley did make some absurd statements respecting this Province, but they did so ata time when we were not properly represented at Ottawa Subsequently when we were properly represented and the facta of the case had been stated Hon Edward Blake got up in parliament and corrected his re marks, He thought it was hopless for ns to look for anything from - Ottawa at present. But he hoped thatere long we would cease to be hewers of wood and drawera of water.
In regard to winter communication, he thought the cost was greater than it ought to be, and expressed the opinion that it could not be otherwise with a Tupper at the bead of that Department.
The last fifteen years have been dark ones for the people of Canada —the farmers especially. Butas the victory of Cape St, Vincent cheered on the English people so also will the victories in Antigonish, Jacques Cartier, Huron and Charlevoix cheer the people of Canada on to v ctory. Mr. Blanchard, who followed, pointed out that it was the duty of the Opposition to expose the reckless extravazance of the present government, and this duty they would not shirk. The Leader of the gev- ernment stated that the indebtedness of this province on Dec. 31st, was $382,000. Is this correct? The Public Works report shows the sum of $6,900 to be due on unfinished contracts entered inte in 1894 aud 1895. Should not that be counted in the indebtedness of the province? We also find the sum of $26,000 due on the Slst of December to the teachers of this
the province at that time they care to include the portion of the teach - er’s salaries then due. Therefore we find the actual indebtedness of the pro- vince on the 3lst of Decemberto be not $382,000, but $415,000. the Government, then, justified in making a statement which is calculated to lead the people astray ? Is he justified in mak- ing & statement which is not borne out by facts ?
The Leader of the Government that there was a flood last summer. did not remember about it, He had heard of the tidal wave at Egmont Bay. The Commis-ioner of Public Works was present at the time ani perhaps his presence had something to do with the wave. The Lealer of the Government also enid that the time bad come when the scenes of drunkenness at Ottawa should cease. But it came with had grace for the Leader of the Govern- ment to talk about drunkenness, He (Mr. Blanchard) believed in temperance, but he was sick and tired of the hypocrites who yo up and down the country talking tem- perance, and who, if they get a chance will slmost drown themselves in @ rum caek.
Then Mr. Blanchard went on to speak of the financiering of the present govern nent, He pointed out that when they -ame into power they aanuvanced a debt of $.71,000 But that eum included $33,000, the unearned portion of the haf yearly subsidy, and $ 4,900 over and above he hab.lities of the province. Now where iothe government stand? In 1891 the +xp-nditure was $304,864.41 and the de- tisit $30,429 ; in 1892 the expenditure was $283,302.57, the deficit $37,652.28; in 1893 the expenditure reached the tum of $337,415.36.
Mr. Blanchard was elaborating along this line when six o’clock arrived and the House adjourned until 10.30 on Thursday.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
—The Provincial Legislature has been in session for upwards of three week; ard not one of Mr. Peters’ important meesures has yet been submitted, and very little Legislative work of any kind has been done.
—In the Proviacial Legislature, yester day afternoon, Mr. Warburton alternated between classics and horse talk. He shed tears over the return to Canada of Sir. Charles Tupper, Bart, whom he designated “the imported war horse!” Just after Mr. Warburton made this remark Mr. Gordon rose in his place and supple- mented it withthe words, “‘a war horse, whose neck was clothed with thunder !” The aptness of Hon. Mr. Gordon’s remark was felt on all sides.
—The St. John Telegraph remarks tha the British are proceeding in their Nile campaign in a very business like wav, and it is evident that although their progress towards the reconquest of the Soudan may be slow it will be sure, ln the present case there is no need for any haste, fer there is no Gordon to be rescued, and a few weeks, or even a few month-, delay will meke no diffrence. The great psint is to so con- duct the ca npaign that whatever is gained will be effectually held.
—The San Francisco Examiner gives the following as ** ove of the reasons” why murders are so frequent in the United Sia‘e::
If the people whoare shocked at the prevalence of murder want to know why man-killers are not punished, they can get
alittle light on it by reading the Supreme Court’s decision of Saturday in the Conkling case. Conkling killed a
man for closing upa road be had been accustomsd to use, and was convicted and sentented to imprisonment — for life. The Supreme Court sets aside the verdict on the grcund that the lower courterred in admitting evidence as o the ownership of the land and in giving the instruction that the defendant had no right to kill a :nan, even in szIf defence§if the quarrel was provoked by the defen- ant, and finally on the ground that the verdict of the jury was vitiated by the fact that two of the jurymen exper mented with a rifle to find out the disiance at which a shot could be fired at clothing without leaving powder mavk-, When a conviction approved by t ve ve jurors :n] a trial judge, who have heard a!l the «vd ence, is overturned ov such grounds it is not surprising that the United States has 10,500 murders in a year and earns the title of the bloodiest nation in the world with the exception of Turkey in the single year of the Armenian mas:acres.
For the ten months of 1895-96, ending March 30, Canada’s revenue has increased over the same period of the last fi-cal yea, $2,281,408. The revenue for March increased some $200,000 over Mar. h,18J/,

PARLIAMENT OF CANADA.
The Obstruction Continued,
What the Goversment Intends to do,
Orrawa, April 16.
After a lot of obstructionist talk yester- day Sir Charles moved that the committee rise and report progress. In doing so, he expressed his great regret that in the face of a continued obstruction to the remedial measure, which the Government was sin- cerely aexious to pass, it seemed to be ab- solutely necessary, at this advanced stage of the session, that the few days still re- maining should be utilized to provide for the absolute necessities of the country.
It would be extremely unfor- tunate if necessary supplies for carrying on _ public business
were not voted, and, therefore, to~day (Thursday) the House would go into com- mittee of supply on the estimates. He deeply regretted that owing to the contin- ued and persistent obstruction to the Re- medial Bill, greater progress had not been made. Very important features of the measure had received the sanction of the committee. The Bill itself had received the sanction of a very satisfactory major- ity of the House, and the obstruction practiced had been condemned by an over- whelming majority of the House. If it were not possible to proceed with the measure further this session—and he did not say they would not be able—the mat- ter would be left open. But it would be a matter of great regret.

—————>- o - a A LONG WINTER—WELL OVER,
The man whose work keeps him out of doors ia winter must have a hearty wel- come for Spring. It is hard in blustery way below zero weather to believe that shortly the birds will sing, the flowers be in blossom and overcoats, windy days and chilled body be things of the past. The trouble is that all too soon the weeks go by and another winter is at hand. The question of e'oth'ng is always important and the new idea of using Finre Cuamois in ready-made clothing is bound to have immense popularity. From the standpoint of health as well as comfort it commends itselt strongly, as jtadds no weight and yet keeps out the rain as well as the wind, and such edvantages are highly appreciat— ed by all men. =?
