| In view of what my hon. friend from | Ottawa has said as tothe intensified state f public feeling by reason of the delay which has occurred, we naturally ask why was it that no decision was arrived at at i an important meeting with regard to this question. I turn to the proceedings of the convention and I find that the leader of the party gave an exp'anation which I will read. He says:
SU
‘‘Now it is my duty to refer to another matter which is an irritating subject be- cause it touches questions of creed and race. I refer to the Manitoba school ques- tion. I have received several communica- tions urging me to take a course upon that question. Ditferent persons in the various provinces have asked me to take opposite courses. To them I have given no answer. I give it now, gentlemen. I wish the ques tion were in any other condition. Those of you who follow political knew that last session Mr. Tarte on the one hand and Mr. Dalton McCarthy on the other agreed that the government were a pack of cowards, that they did not deal | with that subject in a mauly way. For | my part I spoke in the same sense, | “They were agreed so far and I now say | that the government acted in a cowardly | way and cid not dere to speak one way or | the other. It was their boualen duty to say one thing or the other, but instead of | acting like men of courage they allowed | passion to be inflamed in Manitoba and 1 ¢ dared to stand ap like | men and put an issue of the question. They
are to be blamed for this.”
' There was in the opinion of Mr. Laurier no excuse at all for the government not | spcaking out atthat time. It was cow- ardly of them not to speak. Wait till we see why he says he did not speak himself: | They shunted the question to the courts | where it is now.” | When we remember that Mr. Blake's | resolution which shunted that question to the courts was agreed to unanimously in
events
Juebec and never
the House of Commons, M>. Laurier being and thus lending a hand in shanting the question, we imay be able to judge the value of the sta’ement | that it was the government who shunted the question into the courts and who acted
| present at the time
| ' |
|in acowardly manner. What they did | was done with the support and assistance of the hon. gentleman himeelf. He con-
tinned : ‘*The8Opposition are not in a pcsition to take any action,”

ion tied band and foot, and their mouths sealed until a decision had been given by the the Government cowardly for not speaking out and declar ing their policy under the same circum stances
“The Opposition are not in a position to take action until such time as a_ report has been given by the courts, and until the courts have decided whether or not the Government have the right to interfere. Then, Sir, it will be time for us to say we will actor not. In my estimation it 18 not prudent, now that the question is be

| fore the court, to deal with it, because it | would be appealing to prejudice, which it
| | |
would be betier should be left aside.” Why was itso imperative on the leader of the opposition to keep clear of engender ing preiudices, while on the other hand it was cowardly forthe government not to make an issue of the matter, notwithstand ing these tame prejudices ' 3 pat these extracts before the House to show that the hon. gentleman, notwithstandiug the de claration tha: he was ready to speak when the courts should render a decision. has proclaimed, after that decision has re moved the question from the judicial do- main and brought it fairly into the plane ot politics, that he bas taken refuge be bind the lines of Torres Vedras. I must say that the course pursued by the hon. get tleman and his friends, thatis if they follow him, is @ most extraordinary one.
But while the leader of the opposition de- clares that heis entrenched behind the lines of Torres Vedras in respect to this question, and that he has not assumed any attitude with = re- gard to it, his attitade is nevertheless
clearly and well understood, at least by his friends in Quebec. According to the reports published in the press of the Liber al party in that province, he has declared on probably a score of platforms that he is anxious to have the opportunity of relres
sing the wrungs of the minority. While in Quebec they interpret bis spe°ches in that way—and I assume that his utterances are correctly reported—the Winnipeg Tri- bune, the organ of Mr. Greenway in Mani toba, contends that Mr, Laurier has put himse!f record in the speeches that he has made in Manitoba as being opposed to any coerciou whatever in regard to this
on
matter,
llon. Mr. Reesor—I understand he is op posed to coercion in avy province.
Hon. Mr. Ferguson He certainly is not reported in that way in a@ very consider- able proportion of the press Quebec. On the contrary, his principal lieutenant, Mr. Tarte, who recently addressed meet ings in the county of Westmoreland, for- merly represented by my hon. friend who has just addressed the House, put himself on record, speaking for Mr. Laurier, that be was av aivocate of the restoration of the rights of the minority. He had no hesitation in saying so in the French par- ishes in the county of Westmoreland, at
of
least he was so reported by the Jib ral press,
Hon. Mr. Reesor—Y:s, but not by co- ercion.
Hon. M. Ferguson — Perhaps, then by a cOmmission to make a further enquiry as to the facts, in order to gain more delay which the leader of the Opposition in this House so warm!y deprecates. I will allow my bon friend to take which ever horn of the dilemma ne chooses. His leader in this House deprecates the delay, which, he says, is intensifving and doing harm to the country, while if my friend who now speaks is right, the policy of his lea ler in the other House is to tain still further delay. Toe Liberal party are pursuing a very dangerous course with

regard to this question; but that is nothing new for them. They have played with fire. so to speak,
many times during the history of the past ten years. We remember very well the Riel agitation, and the advantage which the Liberal party took of that question to endeavor to create bad feeling between the different races of this country. We remem ber also a question which arose in the pro vince ef Nova Scotia, when the Liberal party in that province raised the flag of secession and treason to this confederation. Immediately previous to the general election of 1887, they unexpectedly dissolved the local house, and went to the country on the policy of secession from the union. We know that in doing so they were play- ing with fire, and we know that they did it for the purpose of helping their friends in Federal politics, for as soon as the Fed- eral elections were over, and it was appar- ent that they had failed, that the people of Nova Scotia, alihough carried off their feet by the secession cry, had re- covered themselves and returned a majority of members of the House of Commons pledged to maintain the integ rity of our confederatioa, they abandoned their atcitude. Later on this party played once more with political fire on the ques- tion of commercial union, a dangerous proposition and one which touched the ties which bound usto the great empire of which we form apart. We know that the Liberal party in their auxiety for power raised that question careless of conse- quences, though their attitude was calcul- ated to sap the loyalty of the people and materially affect the interests of the em- pire; andI say ncw that there is the clear- est evidence to my mind that collusion exists between the leader of the Liberal party in the province of Manitoba and the leader of the Liberal party in federal pol- itics. Thedissolution of the legislative assembly of Manitoba just in the few days which intervened between the summoning of this House and the consideration of the legislation which we are specially called together to undertake, satisfies me that there is such collusion, and as a further evidence of this I may refer to the report which is current, and which bas not been contradicted, that at a critical moment the Attorney-General of Manitoba, the Hon. Mr. Sifton, came to Montreal and had an interview with Mr. Laurier. They parted apparently with a perfect understanding and the dissolution of the local house took place immediately afterwards.
Hon. Mr. Primrose—Keference might be made to the Jesuits estate question.
Hon. Mr. Ferguson—I might have re- ferred to that as well; however, the charge does not lie so fairly against the party in that connection, because a large majority of it: members took the constitutional view of that question. If they had done so, in regard to the other questions, it would have been very much more to their credit. I take the view that no govern ment, or set of men charged with the re- sponsibilities of government, can do any— thing else in the present juncture than apply themselves in the spir.t of reason and moderation and justice to remove the grievances which the highest court in the realm has declared to exist on the part of the minority in the province of Maaitoba.
| It is all very well for hon. gentlemen to
say, as some have said, that while they admit that a grievance has been found to exist, and that the highest court in the empire has decided that this parliament has power to remedy that grievance, they take the ground that parliament is not compelled todo so. I think it is clear that par] ameat is not compelled to inter- fere. The Government do very many good things that they are not com- pelled todo They may not be compelled to remedy a wrong, but if they do not do so,
i Why, I would ack, were the Opposi- they must accept the responsibility of
their inaction. The right of petition has existed under the British constitution since the time of the petition of right, or perhaps we wight go farther back and say that since the time of the Magna Charts the right of petition has existed. From that time forward the recognized | principle has been that if anyone approach- es the Crown, or approaches parliament with a just cause, and it is within the power of parliament to apply the required remedy, it isthe duty of parliament to do Hon. gentlemen cannot ignore the moral obligations, the equitable obliga tions which devolve upon the government, which devolve apon parliament, and every member of parliament, to deal with a question of this kind, and to deal with it properly. We cannot say “We may shirk our duty, and we may not do any- thing at all. We may fold our hands and say we will do nothing.” The grievance has been proved by the highest court of the realm to exist, and the power to reme dy that grievance has been declared by the same authority to exist in this parliament of Canada. However we may go about it, it is clearly eur duty to remedy that grievance, and if we do not do so we will assume a very grave and serious re sponsibility.

Extraordinary Vigor Displayed by Sir Charles.
The Campaign in Cape Breton.
—_——_—
Norrn Sypyey, C. B., Jan. 27.
The first week of the political campaign, which is the keenest and most exciting ever held in Cape Breton, has ended. Its most prominent features are the unprece nented enthusiasm evoked by Sir Charles Tupper’s candidature, and the extraordin- ary vigor displayed by that, statesman in his speeches and his ability to stand the fatigues of a midwinter campaige. During the past six days he has travelled one thousand miles and delivered twelve ad- dresees, or two a day of an averaye length of one hour each, to audiences numbering as high as 3,500.
Death of Lord Leighton.
Lonpon, Jan. 27.
Lord Leighton, P. R. A., the celebrated painter, and President of the Royal Acad; emy, is dead.
{The deceased was born at Scarborough in 1830. He studied attentively at Rome, Berlin, Frankfort-on-the-Main, Florence and Brussels. His first picture of “Ciam- bue,” which was hung at the Royal Acad- emy in 1830, excited much interest, and was at once purchased by the Queen, Since then he has been a constant contributor to the Royal Academy, of which he was «lected a member in 1869,
and President in 1878, receiving in the same year the honor of Knighthood. In
1888 he exhibited at the a magnificent decorative “Andramache in Argos.” In the same vear he was elected a member of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Col- ors, and he was for many years Colonel of the Artists Corps of Volunteers. He was elevated to the Peerage on the Ist ofJuly last.]

Should you again do me the honor to elect me, I shall co-operate in maturing and carrying out all measures having for their object the good of the community as « whole, and, as in the past, my best efforte shall be given to the administration of the affairs of the city.
_I refer you to the City Report for my views On taxation, and would only add that I am fully setisfied that the ordinary expenditure of the city can be met by a reduced rate on real estate and personal property, which rate, with the other sources of available income, will yield a sufficient revenue to meet the liberal basis of expenditure of the past year, and that no department of the public service can suffer thereby.
I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, W. E. DAWSON.
