RESOLUTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.

Mr. Sirroy has introduced resolutions into the Provincial Legislature of Manito- ba as fellows

“ That this house doth, therefore, most solemnly protest against the passage of the Remedial Act, which bas been intro- troduced into the House of Commons of Canada, and doth hereby declare that said act is not rendered necessary by any acts which have up to the present time been

disclosed in reference to the school system of this province. «“(2.) That said act has been brought

*(4) That said act will confer no sub- stantial or useful advantages upon the minority, but, on the contrary, will prove to be deceptive and disappointing in ite practical educational effects.

“Phat said act is an unnecessary ant unjustifiable attack upon the constitu- tiunal rights of the Legislature and the

| people of Manitoba, and, indirectly, upon

the rights of the Legislature and the peo ple of every province of the Dominion, and a violation of the prouciple of pro- vincial autonemy, which is without prece- dent in the history of the Dominion.

Te this resolution an amendment has been submitted by Mr.

| its undoubted power in the premises, this provioce should lose, possibly, for all time, its exclusive control over the educational legislation of the province, and there is now danger of this happening. “Therefore, this House is of the opinion that the present situation calls for prudent and conciliatory action in the hope that such results may, by wise counsels, be avoided, and to this end that the time is opportune for a calm and dispassionate re. view of the legislation of the matters at issue between the majority and minority, with a view to consider whether a reason-

|

| able settlement of the question may net be

found which will avoid a!l excuse for fed- eral interference.”

At the conclusion of his speech to the above amendment Mr. Fisher expressed | his belief that a reasonable proposition would be accepted by the Catholics, and

NOTES AND COMMENTS. —Mr. McConnell seems to be raising Cahan iv Halifax!

—It is stated that the Commercial Bank of Windsor, N. S., never stood better and stronger than it does to-day. Her two agencies are growing and paying. The earning powers of the Bank were never as good as they are now. It has a paid-up capital of $290,000, and a clear rest of $106,000, equal to 35 per cent. on the psid- up capital, with $11,122 to profit and loss account, with increased deposits, increased assets and increased business. Well managed banks and businesses do prosper under theN. P!

—Halifax Herald: The Toronto Star, is now the principal anti-remedial organ in Ontario,— surpassing, in violence, if not in argument, the Toronto Globe and Orange Sentinel. And this is the way it discusses a recent proposition for settle- ment :—

“Tf the irreconcilable Protestant preach- ers and protesting priests are really alarm ed forthe safety of the souls of the children, they can easily settle the matter, by letting the Catholics have Saturday for a Catholic school, in which religion alone will be taught. Give the Protestants Sun- day for a Protestant school,in which re- ligion alone will be taught.

Let each faction provide its own teach- er. There are enough clergymen and priests to do the teaching without taxing the school section.

If they run schools of this sort for six months they will di-cover where they are, but before the six months expire a law should be paxsed that no church property or minister’s stipend should be exempted from taxation unless the clergyman bim- self teaches school one day out of the week, and thus contributes in a legal and stipulated manner to what he himself considers the public good. Such a law would fasten these clerical disturbera, and we would see just how much they be- lieve in religious instruction in schools, and how much of their clamor is caused by their desire to force the state todo work for which they ere being paid and which they are trying to evade,”

We invite Protestant clergymen who have been supporting Joe Martin and “Den” Sheppard in this mischievous agita- tion of theirs to read the above twice and see how they like it. And do they reatly think that men who write that way about clergymen, and of the work of clergymen, are safe guides in matters pertaining to education ?

A BOON TO TRAVELLERS,

Nothing is more objectionable in travel- ling than the need of being equipped for all varieties of weather. Nowadays one cost will answer all purposes if it is inter- lined with the Rigby proofed Fibre Chamois. It is absolutely waterproof, keeps every drop of moisture out, and gives also a wind proof warmth; so that a coat lined with it will suit every kind of weather.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY

The Rev. Mr. Sutherland this morning delivered a lecture on “Success in Life,” of the above-named institution, with His Honor Lieutenant— Governor Howlan in the chair. Principals McSwain, McLeod, Miller (West Kent) Professor Arsenault, Rey. Mr. Kirby and others were present.

Lieutenant-Governor Howlan introduc- ed the rev. lecturer, who was received by the students with much favor. Mr. Suth- erland entered upon his eubject with ear-

nestness, and at & times with elo quence, which elicited applause from His Honor as well as the — students.

His address was brimful of pungent ~ad - vice, which, as he afterwards remarked, that judging from their strict attenfion,the students appreciated .

At the conclusion of the lecture the chairman endorsed tie lecture and spoke of his early boyhood days and also of “the teachings he had received at mother’s knee.” Inalluding to thisheaddressed him- self particularly to the young ladies present. **Be good to mother,” said he, “be kind. to mother, forshe is your best friend. But it is for you to so fit and conduct your- selves that vou may be worthy of the res- pect and adoration which belongs to a pure and holy life.”

The Rev. Mr. Kirby then made.a_ short address complimenting the Yecturer, and also gavea short but interesting chapter from his life. He snoke alse of the in- terest Lieut.-Governor Howlan had. taken in educational affairs and the opportunities of the present age.

Before closing a vote of thauks was, through His Honor, tendered the lecturer, and in turn the same was tendered iis Honor through the Principal. Both His Honor and Mr. Sutherland replied.

The National Anthem was then sung and the session closed, not, however, be- fore giving three cheers for Governor Howlan in which the girls played as pro- minent a part a3 the boys,

Harmonious Meeting of Con- servatives.

A Modification of the Remedial Bill Suggested.

Orrawa, Feb. 29.

"rhe Budget debate brough: out nothing new yesterday. There was no other busi- ness.

The meeting of private members of the Conservative party in Room 16 yes er lay was fairly well attended. Far from there being a lack of harmony, as some pessi- mist had predicted, there was the greatest good feeling manifested.

Sir Jobn Carling occupied the chair.

Sir Donald Smith was among those present, and in view of his recent visit to Winnipeg, his speech had the most impor- tant effect on the gathering. Sir Donald remarked that time for a compromise ou the Schoo! Question had not yet gone by. The principal discussion of the meeting centred round the motion of Dr. Weldon for the appointment of a committee to in- terview the Government, with a view to securing some modifichtion in the Remed ial Bill so as to make it acceptable to all parties. This motion was discussed at some length, and eventually Dr. Weldon carried his point.

Mr. LaRiviere end he were appointed a sub-committee to arrange for a deputation’ to wait upon the Government, as well as to say who the deputation shou'd be.

It was suggested that Sir Donald Smith’s name should be added to the sub- committee and this proposed met with ap- pronal.

Israel Tarte, the first lieutenant for this province of the Leader of the Opposition, thinks that, as in France, members of clergy should be eligible for Parliament. “If a priest,” he says, ‘‘wishes to take part in politics, let him prepare himself therefur by a political education in the seminaries, and let the clergy be repre- sented in Parliament.”
