But as a matter of fact, the engineer in charge staked out the embankment precisely as it was set fo:th in the plan. The contracior built the embankment of the dimensions di- rected.

Mr. Goodwin protested, aod said that the decision had been arrived at without a full knowledge of the facts It was agreed that he should be at liberty to submit to the Minister of Justice such additional facts to be adduced Sir John Thompson died. Sir Hibbert Tupper took his place, and, having heard allthe facts and circumstances, decided that “Mr. Goodwin had in law a prima facie claim against the Government.” This decision w s forwarded to the Department of Railways and Canals, which, as before Stated, was adverse to the payment of the e‘aim. As, however, it is governed on points of law by the opinion of the Minis— erof Justice, the Railway Department n> longer refused to recognize the account, but forwarded it tothe Auditor-Genera for his decision. In doing so, however, the Deputy Minister accompanied the ac- count with a letter which of iteelf wou'd be sufficient to induce the Auditor to take further legal advice before authorizing payment. This letter stated in effect that

THE PARLIAMENTARY COMPACT.

Tne morning organ of ihe Opposition say? :

“In the Manitoba school controversy much stress has been laid by the coercien- ists on alleged compact guaranteeing the Catholic mimority separate schools, made between the representatives of the Red River settlement and the Dominion authori- ties before Manitoba was created a pro- vince. What bas been lost sight of is that the judicial committee’s decision absolute- ly and entirely shuts out thatclaim. The language of their decision on this point is so plain that he who runs may read. It is in the words following :

“The terms upon which Manitoba was to become a province of the Dominion were a matter cf negotiation between re- presentatives of the province of Mauitoba and of the Dominion Government. The terms agreed upon,so far as education was concerned, must be taken to be em- hodied in the 22nd section of the act of 1870.7 (The Manitoba Act.)

“In other words there was no compact other than that embodied in the constitu- tion of Manitoba.”

Strange that the morning organ zhould

have overlooked the following highly im portant passage in the judgment of the Lords of the Privy Council:

“It is true that the religious exercises prescribed for public schools are not to be distinctively Protestaut, for they are to be ‘non-sectarian,’ and any parent may with- draw his child from them. There may be nany too, who share the view expressed in one of the affidavits in Barrett's case, that there should not be any conscientious objections on the part of Roman Catholics to attend such schools, if adequate means be provided elsewhere of giving such moral and religions training as may be desired. But all this is not tothe purpose. As a matter of fact, the objection of Roman Catholica to schools such as alone receive State aid under the act of 1890 is conscien- tious and deeply rooted. Ifthis had not been so, if there had been a system of public education acceptable to Catholics and Protestants alike, the elaborate enact- ments which have been the subject of so much controversy and consideration would have been unnecessary. It is notorious that there were acute differences of opin- ion between Catholics and Protestants on the education question prior to 1870. This is recognized aud emphasized in almost every line of those enactments. There is no doubt either what the points of differ- ence were, and it isin the light cf these that the 22nd section of the Manitoba Act of 1870, which was in truth A PARLIA- MENTARY COMPACT, must be read.”

There was, at all events, a compact—a Parliamentary compact--and their Lord- ships say sc in expressterms. From this well-established fact it may fairly concluded that there prior agreement between the Dominion Government and the representatives of the Red River settlement,—which agreement was embodied, as a solemn Parliamentary compact, in the Manitoba Act.

We hope that the Guardian witl have the justice to quote the latter paragraph in the jadgment of the Lords of the Privy Council; for it lets a flood of light and truth upon the subject which the morning organ have not yet seen. If not, perhaps the talented writer of the Conservative half-column in the Guardian will call attention to it.

The Montreal Star says: The Liberal party will not be the gainer leciuse of the ob

obstruction offered to Sir Charles Tupper While no one would imagine the leaders of the Opposition to bs guilty o* such stupid tactic:, those who were guilty did not assist the cause they appir- ently hoped to serve.

When Mr. Laurier appeared in Sohmer Park at the opening of his camragn he was met with nosuch obstructive tactics. He was given a fair hearing. as were all who spoke with him, but the gag was applied to the Premier last night with utter disregard of principles of fairplay.

Obstruction is not argument, however, and nothing is gained by creating the itn- pression that one party is afraid to per- mit the leaders ef the other to be heerJ. Free speech is one cf the rights of this people, and interference with it will be resented.

We note that there is, in this Province, a disposition among some of the officials of the Local Gevernment and others to create disturbances at public meetings. Perhaps the result of the disturbance im Montreal may have a deterrent effect upon them.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

~ “Our policy is death to protection.” Sir Richard Cartwright, Hansard, 1894.

— A correspondent at Bradalbane reports the Opposition meeting held there on Tuesday evening to have been a poor affair

—The Cardwell Liberals have adjourned their nominating convention without putting a candidate in the field. Significant!

—St. John Record, Independent Liber- al: Recent events go to show that the Conservatives are united on the trade issue though divided on the school question, but that the Liberals are baily split up.

—Montreal Gazette: Laurier noise makers prevented Sir Charles Tupper be- ing heard in Sohmer Park. It wasa hgh compliment to his ability. It isa compli- ment the Liberal leader is not likely to receive. His opponents prefer that he should be heard when he speaks against him.

—Mail and Empire: Mr. Laurier is making a great fuss because Sir Charles Tupper pointed out at Winnipeg that he is a French-Canadian. Why does he not eject from his party Mr. Charlton, he sars: * With a French-Canadian leader, and under the manipulation of such unscrupu lous machine politicians as J. D. Edgar et al., I have not the utmost confidence in the future of the Reform party.”

—Mail and Empire: The latest calcul- ations show that Sir Oliver Mowat and his relatives are now annually receiving $29,362 from the provincial and _ federal treasuries, and a considerable eum in Jaw fees in addition. There are sixteen of them. When Sir Oliver takes his seat in the Senate he will have a new field for the practice of nepotism. In fact, it has been aid that the veteran Premier i3 going to Ottawa because the supply of offices in Outario have lately become ve y ,limited [t is at present difficult to estimate the cash value of a relationship with Sir Ol- iver.

—Regarding the probable effects of a free trade pol.cy upon Canada, there may be diff-rences of opinion among laymen but experts are pretty well agreed. The Montreal Trade Bulletin, for instance, declares that: “The introduction of a policy based on the broad lines of British free trade would be a fatal mistake, and

might hurl us into a commercial pitfall] from which it would take us years to

emerge.” Canadais notto be lured into aruinous experiment by a few eloquent speeches. If she were to be caught in that way the Liberals would have been in office long ago.

—Not only has the Grit party the solid support of the United Statea newspapers, but the A. P. A. has turoed in with its whole force to secure the triumph cf Greenway and Laurier. A recent Wash- ington despatch says :

Wasuixerox, D. C., May 15—The

Supreme Council of the A. P. A. to-day adopted the following resolution,— “Whereas, it is well-known that the

struggle for civil liberty is going on, not only throughout the length and breadth of our Common country, but even beyond the borders of the United States; there- fore, resolved, that we do send grectinz to Premier Greenway and his brave follow- ers in their great battle against the ene- mies of the free public school system of the province of Manitoba.”

So that, as the Halifax Herald re- marks, when M. C. Cameron intimated that tle giits would get the solid P.P. A. votz at the ensuing general election, he was not so far from the truth as he usually is. However other people may vote, there can no long- er be any doubt about the P.P. A. sym- pathies being all in favor of the continued oppression of the Roman Catholic minor ity in Manitoba,
