prevail, or shall we, at the expense of. ‘honor, and contrary to the decision of ‘the Courts, in order to gaim a little cheap popularity, not only econnive at, ; : of expediency over right !

No doubt many so-called _ parlin- mentarians will endeavor to avoid grap-

sorting to some subterfuge. Indeed, already many courses have been sug- gested other than that of legislating many plausible arguments advanced against interference on the part of the ' Federal authorities. It may not then

but actually sanction the triumpl.

pling directly with the question, by re- |

his own religious ideas? All these means put ir the hands of (an intelligent and clever person, suf- fice, under the new regime, as well as ‘onder the old, ‘for the introduction in the school of a systematic religious Im- struction contained in the Bible, and accepted by all Protestant denom- jnations.’ ”

The best proof that the said schools are Protestant, is to be found 30 the admission of Mr. Joseph Martin, M.P. Here are his words: “When I incro-

_duced the School Bill of 18go, I said -and I still think, that the clause of the

“7

— a

1890 act, which provides for certain re- ligious excercises, is most unjust to the Roman Catholics. If the state is to recognize religion in its school legisla- tion, such a recognition as is accept able to Protestants only—and in fact only to a majority of Protestants my mind, rank tyranny.”

Another objection is raised to inter- ference at the present juncture as be- ing too hasty. It is pleaded that time should be given to the Greenway Gov ernment, and that they should be ap- proached in a friendly conciliatory spirit. Considering taat the minority have been persistently pleading tor redress, for five long years, that petitions from every nock and corner of the Domin ion have been forwarded to the gov ernment praying for interference, that the Greenway Government has not as sisted in investigating tne facts, but that it has done everything-possible to oppose it, that an order-in-council passed at Ottawa on July 26th, 1894, was forwarded to Manitoba, appealing to the Government there to take upon itself the task of settling the question; considering too that the said memorial was couched in the most befitting language—fair, just, friendly and con- ciliatory; considering all these, it is ab surd to advocate further delay.

Some few oppose remedial legisla- tion on pretense of being averse to coercion. Who are the coercionists ? Undoubtedly the Manitoba Govern ment. ‘Those who are opposed to coercion are agitating for redress—ask ing for prevention of this coercion. Minority rights are being trampled upon—it is not a question of cial rights. The people are required to consider not the projec ted coercion of a Province by the Federal Parlia

is to

Provin-

ment, but the actual coercion of a weak minority by the Provincial authorities.

A Province of this Dominion, total disregard of constitutional enforces upon a section of its people, a law which even its very framers ac- knowledge to be “rank tyranny;” those whosc duty it is, are asked to inter vene and prevent this abuse. Such is the case submitted for solution. Our legislators will, in the near future, be called upon to put themselves on re cord either for or against this “rank tvranny.” When that time arrives, surely but few will be found to oppose justice. Should there be even a few, so devoid of honor, s9 callous to all of moral right, resist the redress of grievances, then the Cana- dian Electors should deal with them as their conduct merits. Those fana tical, unscrupulous agitators who are endeavoring to stir up the passions and prejudices of the masses, should be hounded out of public life. ‘Those who endeavor to deceive the populace by resorting to miserable subterfuges should meet a like fate. ‘Those sanction the tyranny of the majority over the minority, should have no voice in the legislative halls of a free people. It is our firm conviction that the free and independent electors of this broad Dominion will be found on the side of those who stand for British fair play on the side of those who re gard our constitution as a frame-work

quainted with the facts. Itis alleged that the opposition to tne sub-division of Glenfinnan Schoo! District came from two or three pereons, and that I was opyozed because I was not appointed Secretary of the Tarrentum District. I have only to say that I always aspired to a higher office and have ne desire to be in the com- panionship of euch gentry. I was oppos- ed to the scheme from the beginning. 1 fought, I considered, in the inte-ests of education and the — public I assisted in canvassing Glentinnan School District, aud obtained the names of twenty ratepayers on a petition, principa:- ly Liberals, representing $17,000 of the taxable property of the district, whilst the taxable property of those favoring the

good rf

change did not exceed $5,000. Of course it would not suit the man On the throne to inform the Patriot of the fact that a

petition signed by nineteen out of a to'al of thirty.one ratepayers of Glenfinnan and Pond Settlement (the yositions of old G'enfinnan left after Webster’s Corner school was fermed) asking for reunion was sent to the Education Office, which should prove conclusively that more than one or two “intolerant cranks” opposed the change. He purpurts to write from Tar- rentum district, but quotes Webster’s Cur- ner school, which he boasts has an aver- aze of 33, whi'e Tarrentum has 14} and Glenfinnan 1l—about sufficient for one school. But the present economical gov- ernment can affurd to grind from the tax- payers of this country exhorbiiant taxes, and pay, contrary to the provisions of the school law, two teachers for doing the work of one. He asserts my first charge was Sherry’s Bridge deal. I never made that charge. It was made by “FA.” ya late issud of Tue Examiner. He produces a letter from Mr. Charles Fisher, to which I appendareply. Mr. Fisher says he was appointed foreman by the Commissioner of Public Works, but did not state at what sum per day, or what the work cost, or that it was done by the

H. Cummiskey’s servant man and horses were on the work, or what has become of

the supervisor. Has he been superannu- | ated? Then comes the screed signed “John | F. Lafferty.” I» reply to this I p int to the letter of Mr. T. J. Sherry. Tueu Mr. Alexander McDonald was not the secretary of the Glenfinnan echcol last vear, but says the rates were all paid long ago, which ' might mean before the flood. On this point I appeal to the letter of Mr. Jo3. Jen- kins. Next comes the certificate of Charles J. McCarthy. Against this I place the

Webster’s Corner school district, or that J, |

letter of Mr. Maurice O’Connell. Will Mr. McCarthy be kind enough to prove that no argument was used in canvassing Fort Augustus to get a school at Websiers Corner and exclude the Protestants? I can produce, if necessary, two ratepayers who are prepared t» prove tne language used, Last!y,is a letter from “D. McLeod.” There are numbers of D. McLeod. If he is the Chief Superinteadent of Educa- tion he is known as D. J. McLeod. He says he examined the Webster’s Corner sehool on the above date; but the Patriots readers look in vain for the date above. I fail to discover the purpose. No reference was made to the school particularly, and if there had, beg to remind the Chief Superintendent that he misled two rate- payers f om this section last wiuter. Are the people now justified in accepting his statement 2 Mr. Cummiskey has ascended the throne a century too late. The right divin> to govern wrong is not now recog- nized in Fort Augustus. Joun T.

Counterfeits

A few yearsago agreat discovery was made.

Unprincipled persons are trying to prey upon and dupe people who are led to ask for kidney treatment.

Some of the methods adopted by imitat- ors are as follows:

First—To imitate the size, color and shape of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and sel] them by count.

Second—To put them up to appear very nearly the same and to be offered at the same price.

Third—To hook on the word “kidney” in naming cathortic pills so as to increase sales of mere physic.

Fourth—To givea name so near to Dodd’s that unwary people may be deceiv- ed and think they are getting Dodd’s.

Look out for snch dodges. When you want kidney medicine you want the best. And ought not to be the subject for any trick.

So beware.

This is the time when colds are in the fashion-—every body who is anybody has one, if not himself there’s one in the

family. For no complaint under the sun are there more remedies than for a cold in the head, but of the thousands Chase’s Catarrh Cure is the best. “In twelve hours I was cured ofa bad cold in the head by Chase’s Cure,” writes Miss Dwyer, Alliston, Ont. 25c. of all druggists, with Llower free.
