THE MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION.

advices

Private from Ottawa state that the Hon. Donald Ferguson has al- ready obtained a prominent position in the Senate. The important speech delivered by him in respect to the Maniteba School Question, was, certainly, sufficient to raise him high in the estimation of his con- Ottawa. After a few preliminary remarks, Senator

freres and the politicians at

Ferguson defined his own position in words which were basely mistepresented by the Ottawa correspondent of the St. John

Telegraph. He said:

“In a mixed community such as we have in almost every part of Canada, we have to fight the battles of life side by side, whether we are Roman Catholics or Pro- testants, and as we have to do that, for my own part, I think it is desirable that our childres shonld learn to know each other and to trust each other, and to ap- preciate each other in the class-room and on the playground, as well as when they have chosen their employments and as- sumed the more responsible duties of life. I myself have had my children educated in the public schools. Of course we look carefully after our schoola—look after the tone of morality in the public schools, and | have still to learn that the fanda- mental principles of our common Chrir-

| tianity have been eliminated from those

schools, They donot ge into details. My creed in not taught there, as dist’nct from the creed of another denomination, but the fundamental doctrines of Christianity are not eliminated from the instruction. While I hold the view and hold it warmly, and assert it here as I have on many previous occasions asserted it elsewhere, that a public school system is best for a mixed community, I have taken this further ground: I recognize the fact that there is a very large pro- portion of my fellow-subjects in this country who believe differently from me, with whom it is a matter of conscience that their children should receive a denominational education, and therefore, more than 20 years ago I took the stand that when the assertion of that right or when the granting that privilege to them trenches upon no right or privilege which lor my fellow Protestant citizens vaiue or esteem, I am willing to let them adopt the eystem of education which they con- scientiously believe to be the best. I took that stand in my own province 20 years ago, when the school question wae up there, under the leadership of the Hon. Jas. C. Pope. 1 fell in the fight which took place over it, but, looking back, I

hold the same views now as I did then. I took my etand in favor ot free public undenominational edu cation, but, at the same time, I

never pushed my views so far as to peree- cute or injure those who wished to have their education conducted in a different manner, where it was possible to be £0 conducted, without interfering with the carrying on of the public schools.

Senator Ferguson then referred to the deception of which the grits of Manitoba were guilty in respect to the Catholic schools. He said:

“They gave a solemn pledge, a pledge that was repeated on more than one occasion, and backed by the authority of the President of the Liberal Association in the Province of Manitoba, that if they gave their confidence to the Liberal candi- date, the rights and privileges which they (the Catholics) had enjoyed in regard to education would be preserved to them, by the party who expected to get into power. Notwithstanding those pledges, so solemnly given, we find that the very men who spoke fur the Liberal party in Manitoba on that oceasion, after reaping the benefit of that election, and having got the votes and support of the people on that pledge, turned around and deprived those people of the advantages they had enjoyed in the matter of education. Mr. Martin and his friends gained that election, and they fol- lowed up their victory by passiag the legislation which i«# so obnoxious to the minority in Manitoba. Their conduct, to my mind, has been extraordinary. No wonder my hon. friend from St. Boniface and his friends and sympathizers feel strongly over it. Their feeling must be somewhat similar to that of the dying eagle, as described by Byron, on finding a feather from her own wing attached to the arrow which had pierced her heart :

“ Keen was the pang, but keener atill to feel

She nursed the pinion that impelled the steel.”

Senator Ferguson then referred at some lengtth tothe records of the two parties, combating successfully the assertion of Senator Scott that the Conservatives of Canada had exhibited a spirit of rabid in- tolerance of Catholic schools; and then he proceeded to discuss the question of dis- allowance. We quote at length :

There is a point upon which the hon. Leader of the Opposition and the hon. member from Halifax have enlarged at a very considerable length in different parts of their speeches, and put forwaed very strongly—at first rather gently and after- wards with more emphasis—the duty, as they considered, of the Federal Gov- ernment to disallow the Manitoba Schools Act. I wish to call the attention of hon. gentlemen to the record of the Libera] party on this ques- tion of the disallowance of educational measures—I will not go beyond that, There was a great deal said, as we all know, for a number of years in Canada in public life over the disallowance of provincia} measures, and my hon. friend from Hali- fax just a few moments ago cited the dis- allowance of the Rivers and Streams Act on two er three oceasions to show that the Libera!-Conservative Jeaders,whenever they thought proper, could practice disal- lowance, although they did not do it in the case of the Manitoba School Act, which, in hie opinion, so fully called for it. My hon. friend will remember that the disallowance of those measures oc- curred some years ago, and that there has been a very great change in the conetitu- tional position of both political parties, I might say, but especially of the Conserva- tive party on the question of disallowance since that tine. ButI will lead up to that. In the meantime,I will call the attention uf the House to @ resolution moved by the Hon. Mr. McKenzie as far back as 1872 in the House of Commons, upon the New Brunswick School Act. As my hon. friend, the leader of the Op- position, has argued that it was the duty of the Government of the day to disallow the Manitoba School Act, I want to show what had been the policy of his own party—what was the policy of the Gov ernment of which he himself was a very distinguished member—through @ number of years on this very question of disallow-

ance, and especially the disallowance of

ae 1872,

Mr.

which

in resolution,

| educational measures, } Mackenzie moved this } was adopted : “And that this House deems it expedi-

ent that the opinions of the law officers of

the Crown in England, and if possible the | Opinion of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council should be obtained as to the right of the Legislature of New Brune- wick to make such changes in the school law us deprived the Roman Catholics of the privileges they enjoyed at the time of the union in respect to religious education in the common schools, with a view of as- certaining whether the case comes within the terms of the fourth sub-section of the 93rd clause of the british North America Act of 1867, which authorizes the Parlia- ment of Canada to enact remedial laws for the due execution of the provisions re- specting education in the said Act.”

The law on the matter of reference to the Privy Council] of England was not ten in the position it is now, so much so that Mr. Mackenzie in this resolution put inthe words that an appeal ehould be made to the Privy Council if possible. He thought it would be difficult to get a decision of the Privy Council on a qnee- tion of this kind at the time, and he felt that if he could not get one opinion he could get another, so he included in his resolu- tion the law offisers of the Crown. Here we find that Mr. Mackenzie, 22 vears ago, while leader of the Liberal party in Par- liament, took almost precisely the same view of the New Brunswick School Act as the Government of Sir John Thompson has done with regard to the Manitoba law. [ dare say my hon. friend wiil tell me that the case was much stronger in Manitoba than in New Brunswick. I grant it, but the Government were not presumed to know that—they were only trying to find out the law as it applied to both cases. Mr. Mackenzie did not profess to know what should be done in the matter, and how far the power of remedial legislation lay with the Federal Government at that

were carried in the House of Commons at that time for a reference of the New Bruns- wick school question to the Privy Council or the law officers of the Crown. We will come to 1875, when Mr. Mackenzie was leader of the Government and my hon. friend from Ottawa was one of his able and most trusted colleagues. Mr. Macken- zie made a speech, in which he said:

Sir, it must be apparent to everyone that if were to attempt violently to lay hands upon that compact for the purpose of aiding a minority in New Brunswick who have a grievance, no matter however just that grievance may be,—and from my point of view I think it is one they have a right to complain of—however much we might entertain that feeling, we have no right to do anything that will vio- late our obligation to defend the constitu- tion under which we live. I may point this out to hon. gentlemen in this Goose and tothe country, that if it were competent tor this House, directly or indrectly, to set aside the constitution as regards one of the smaller provinces, it would be equally competent for this House to set it aside as regards the privileges which the Catholics enjoy at this moment in Ontario.

Mr. Mackenzie on that occasion, at the conclusion of the speech from which I have read this extract, moved the fullow- ing resolution ;

“In the opinion of this House, legisla- tion by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, encroaching on any powera re- served te any one of the Provinces by the British North America Act, would be an infraction of the provincial constitution, and that it would be inexpedient and fraught with danger tothe autonomy of each of the provinces for this House to ir- vite such legislation.”

This wasan amendment to a resolution

made by some hon. member ask- ing that the Parliament of Can- ada might be called upon to

amend the British North America Act. Here Mr. Mackenzie again, as the leader of his party, moved this resolution and carried it in the Heuse of Commons on this very question of education. But when my hon. friend from Halifax asked the House to remember that the Conservative Government had disallowed the Rivers and Streams Bill and measures of that kind, [have already said he should re- meimber that that matter of disal owance stands ina different position tc-lay from what it did when that disallowance took place. I will just remind the hon. gentle- man how that came about. In the session of 1890,Mr. Blake moved in the House Com- mons a reso!ution which was adopted unani- mously, Sir Jobn Macdonald sccepting the principle. It was placed en record, and, as you might say, made # law of Parlia- ment. It was as follows:

“J: is expedient to provide means where- by, on solemn occasions touching the exercise of the power of disallowance, or appellate power as to educational legisla- tion, important questions of law or fact may be referred by the executive to a high jodicial tribunal for hearing snd con- sideration, in such mode that the author- ities and parties interested may be repre- sented, and that a reasoned opinion may be obtained for the information of the executive.”

This resolution, as I have eaid, was submitted by Mr. Blake, and unanimously adopted. In submitting the resolution to the House Mr. Blake madea very able speech indeed,a speech well worthy of perusal and re-pernsal. It was evidently thought over with the greatest care, and he brought to bear on every subject that he touched the results of great experience and great ability. He says:

“ T would say that recent current events }and impending events have combined to convince me that it is important, in the public interest, that this proposition should receive attention during this ses- sion.

Yet, sir, no legislative or executive can, any more than any private individual, act at all without considering and in a sense deciding for itself the legality of the acts and so in some sort entering upon the judicial department, but upon the domain of the judicial power, because our opinion that our acts are valid does not make them so, their validity depends upen the decision of the judicial authority, and on that alone.

There can be no doubt that the absolute union ef these departments (executive and legislative and imperial) is neither more

nor less than absolute despotism. United in one hand, I care not whether it be the hand of an _ autocrat or the hand ae council,

the power of legislation, the power of in- terpretation and the power of administra- tion, and you make the most absolute despot that is conceivable.
