The Manitoba School Question.

Special correspondence of The Examine r.)

The readers of Tuk Examivxer need not fear that, ten days after the vote on Mr. Tarte's resolution, they are to be treated to atehashwot all the arguments used by the various speakersin the debate. This would be too much like the Guardian's publication of the Legislative Council debates in the dog-days. They are perfectly well aware of the opinions of the leading members of Parliament on the question, and indeed when they have been informed of the Gov- ernment’s reasons for their action in the matter, and are in a position to judge of that action themselves, their interest in the question is pretty well over.

Mr. McCarthy is well known, in and out of Parliament, as the determined opponent of the dual language principle and of the separate school system, and much of his speech on Tuesday was devoted to a his. ‘oridal review of the whole case, in which he himself acted as counsel for the Province of Manitoba before the Imperial Privy Council. Mr. Tarte condemned the Gov. ernment’s action because they did not off- hand disallow the Manitoba School Act, Mr. McCarthy was explicit in his declara- tion that he did not agree with Mr. Tarte m that point. But Mr. McCarthy held that the Government had al! the facts be- fore them and ought at once to have re- fused the appeal of tha Manitoba Catholics. It is true that the decision of the Judicial Committee of the Imperial Privy Council established the fact that separate schools did not exist in Manitoba at the time of union; but it did not establish what rights, if any, were conferred upon the Catholic minority under the British North Americas and Manitoba Acta, by reason of separate schools having been established by the Legislature after the union. This is the question now at issue and which has bees referred to the decision of the Supreme Court.

Mr. McCarthy was very emphatic in the centention that the question of the mioority’s rights under the B. N. A. Act was an afterthought and had never been raised until last November, after the lecision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council had been given. But the Solicitor General (Mr. Curran) cut this ground very cleverly and very effectively from under Mr. McCartly's feet_by clearly showing that this very question was raised before the Manitoba Cuurt of first instance, and had been repeated before the Judicial] Committee of the Privy Council, and ‘hat Mr. McCarthy had taken part in the dis cussion raised thereupon. Indeed, Mr. Curran quoted paragraph after paragraph f the argument on that very pomt. So tha: Mr. McCarthy's memory was found to be seriously at fault.

It remaired for Dr. Weldon, however, to put the capsheaf on Mr. McCarthy's confusion. Now, Dr. Welden, who is lecturer on Constitutional Law at Dal housie University, is known to be s grea admirer of Mr. McCarthy, and _ indeed they are warm personal friends. In the course of his speech, Mr. McCarthy had based a very strong argument against the sdvisers of the Crown exercising judicial functi n3 on a quotation he silleged to find m as.andard authoriiy, “‘Bigehot on Con- sti utronal History,” which he read as follows :

“It is laid down as a principle of English polity that in it the legislature, the executive, and the judicial powers are divided; that each is entrusted to a different person or set of persons; that noone of these can at all interfere with the work of the other:”

That seemed excellent authority, until Dr. Weldon showed that Bagehot had never laid down any such principle, but merely quoted it for the purpose of demon- stratingiita falsity,and that Mr McCarthy had either wilfully or negligently omitted « sen. tence by which Bagehot introduced this fiction, and which reads, ‘‘There are two descriptions of the English constitution, which have exercised immense influence, but which are erroncous." The sensation which this expose caused in the House can better imagined than described.

It ia understood that Dr. Weldon, before rising to speak, directed Mr. McCarthy's attention to the perversion he had made of f Bagehot, and that Mr. McCarthy's only explanation was that ha must have quoted from another edition of the book. At any cate, when Dr. Weldon announced his dis- covery to the House, Mr. McCarthy was conspicuously absent from his seat, nor did he sfterwards vouchsafe any explanation

Mr. Devlin distinguished himself in his favorite role oi a demagogue, by making a ovarse attack upon Mr. Costigan, whom he accused of having had his mouth effectually closed by the sweets of office. This arous- ed Mr. Costigan, who gave the young Irish man a dressing he richly deserved, and which awoke thundering applause. Mr, Costigan reviewed his course upon the New Brunswick School Act and proved satisfac- torily that had it not been for the gross de- ceptivn practiced upon him by the Liberal majority during the McKenzie admunistra- ition, the fate of that measure would have been very different. The action of the Liberals at that time had convinced him what fairplay Catholic miaorities could ex- pect from that party.

On Wednesday evening Mr. Laurier spoke, arguing strongly for the protection of minorities and blaming the Government for delay in taking decisive action. If sep- parate schools were granted to the minor- ity in Quebse, said the Liberal Leader, why should they not be granted the minor- ity in Manitoba ? He gave it as his opinion that the Doninion Parliament had contro! over the legislation of the }rovinces.

Realing from the petition cf Arch bishop Tache, that Roman Catholic children were to be forced to go to Prot-

estant schools, he declared that if such a state mat were true, he wished his voice to beari through the length and breadth of the land, that it constituted the strongest plea that could be mde for interference by the Government. If his life ,.s a public man should be ended to-morrow, forever,he would repeat it un every platform in On- tario, in Manitoba, and through the land, that thia system to which the Cathvlic min- ority in Manit. ba has been subjected, was the most infamous tyranny. Was there a man in the House who world stand up and sy tot the minority ‘n Manit»ba were t be ej ected tothst? Let any man tay so. it such am oppressive state of things prevail: d in Maviteba, not a m nute should be lost in going to the rmeecue of that op- preased minerity.

Ic is a fact thatah uld net be lot sight of, that the parties chargesble wi bh the ep

pression agsinst which the Liberal Leacer

———

so vehemently declaimed, are the Liberal Government of Manitoba! Mr. Laurier certainly was not mild in his denunciation of his political friends. Your readers will not be slow to observe that while Mr. Laurier put himeelf on record, Sir Richard Cartwright, Mr. David Mills, Mr. Davies, Mr. Chariton, Mr. Molock, Mr. Lister, Mr. Patterson, Mr. Edger, Mr. Mc- Mullen, Dr. Landerkin,Mr. Fraser,Mr. Flint Mr Somerville, Mr. Perry,and the ot her lead- ing Liberal lights were elogrently ailent. It is not often they are troubled that way. Of course they all voted for Mr. Tarte’s motion, but, as I have already explained, his resol. ution was so worded as a te demand a con- demnation uf the Government, without assert- ing eny principle or recommending direct line of action. Only eight Opposition members addressed the House, of whem Messrs. Tarte, Beausoleil, Laurier, Brodeur and Liveigne are French-Canadian and Catholic: Mr. Devlin an Irish Catholic; Mr. Casey en lrish Protestant, and who carefully avoided expressing an opin- ivn for or against the Catholic minority in Manitchs; and Mr. Fa: ve), a French Protest- ant (Huguenot) who was strong in his sym- pathies for ther, On ‘he Conservetive side the epeskere were: French-Canadian —La Riviere, Langevin, Amyot, Ouimet, Sir A. P. Caron; English—Sir John Thompson, Hugh John Macdonald, McCarthy, Curran,Costigan, Craig, Weldon, Davin, McLean (York), Daly, O'Biieo, Hughes and McNeill. i —

A Dangerous Joke.

A few months ago a person hardly dared say they had La Grippe for fear of ridicule. And now that one-half of our population have had it, the cther half are in mortal terror for fear they too will have it. We cannot wonder; for no epidemic scourge has ever visited this country and left such a trail of death and sorrow behind. The best loved members of families from state circles down to the humblest state in life have gone.

It has been the relapses and after dan- gers from La Grippe that have been so ap- palling. The death rate in many larger cities has exceeded 100 a week from the “grip” alone; and the end is not yet. Physicians are learning to fear (much mure than the epidemic itself,) the serious and fatal extension of the inflammation down- ward tothe throat and bronchial tubes, causing croupous and catarrhal pneumonia, true scquences of the malady; which ter- minate in death or produce severe laryn- gitis, bronchitis, asthma and a form of cat- arrh which contributes largely to chronic disease of the ear, nose and throat, causing loss of hearing, smelbh and taste Thos physicians who have been most successful with the epidemic say, the surest treatmect his boen with tonic and anodyne remedies. Th: medicines most relied upon hove been Quinine, Antipyrine, Salicilate of Soda, Jubnson’s Anodyne Liniment, etc. A pron inent Boston paper announced in January |:st that more persons had successful y used the last named medicine than all the others comtined. Thai seems reasonable for the effects from La Grippe cause severe inflimmation, and it is a well known fact that for nearly cighty years noe vedy has taken the plecs «f Jobnson’s Ano- dyve Linimeot fur every form of infl.mm ation, internal or ex'ernal, Thereia lies its great value asa household Anodync, namely

he fact that it ig and can be used wore ine

ternal!y than any other way. At any rate, if one hes any symptoms « f the afer dangé rs of the “‘grip” we advise them to get a bottle of the Anodyne at once, or send to the sole manufacturers, Ll. S. Johnson & Co,, Boston Mass, for full particulars which they send free, and which may save you a big dector’s bill. marl5 d6i wli
