Di of a letter to the Patrons, Richard Cart Ix the course not long ago, Sir not long ago, Sir writtes wright wrote: “We need among other radical readjustment, not only of our tar- iff, but ‘ of our whole system of taxation. things, ‘a What can this mean if not Direct Tax ation for Dominion purposes! ——et——- — THE REJECTED OFFER. Tue Patriot does not attempt te show that the school system in practical opera- tion throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunewick is essentially different from the system involved in the effer of the Domiaion Commissioners to the Mauitoba Government and Legislature We are therefore justified in repeating the state- nion Government of - Bill stop ail proceedings if che Government of ment that “the Dom fered to withdraw the Remedial and Manitoba would bat alter the schoo) laws of the Province is such @ way a3 to admit to of schools in Manitoba similar those of the Maritime Provinces, and that In point ef fact, Halifax, St. towns the offer was rejecte!.” there are separaie sc :ools in Jolin the considerable of provi.ces, and there are separate schools in Cuarlottetown—in and all the sister practical operation—and no one is hurt, no one injured in respect to his feelings, while all live together in peace and har mony. Some of us may wish that it were that taught in common schools. But is not so; and we ought to be men enough to admit otherwise, all our children were the fact. It is true that separate schools have not been etipu lated for in the Maritime Provinces as they bave been in Manitoba, It is true, also, that the privileges enjoyed in the schools are not accorded uader the law, but are the result of mutual! agree- meat or tacit’understanding. [tis true, tco, that the Dominion Commissioners requir ed that the privileges thus obteined in the schools of the Maritime Provinces should of the Legislature of Manitoba. The necessity for the stipulation is evident. Tie minority in Manitoba had suffered a wrong resulting from a breach of faith ; they had to go to Jaw, to fight for their right*. Having won their case in the highest of the Empire, they would be the veriest fools to give up the advantage they thus gain:d on the mere be accorded under a formal act court understanding that the very men who had deceived them and broken their compact, the very men with whom they had been compelled to go to Jaw,— would give them schools similar to those in operation in the Maritime Provinces. But they said: put it down in the agree- ment, secure it by an aet of the legislature, and we will accep: it asa settlement in full. The offer was made on their part by the Dominion Government—and rejected by tle Government of Manitoba ! The point is beside the question which the electors of Canada are now —because the cffer was rejected—called upon to decide, viz., Shall the law and the eonsti- tution be adhered to in this Canada of curs, Or may politicians play fast and loose with parliamentary compacts? The Hen. David Mills has said, and said truly, that “ The policy of the country in respect to Separate Schools is already decided.” the Do to induce the Government of Manitoba to settle the difficulty they had created for party purposes, upon a reasonable and practicable basis—the basia of the schools of the Maritime Provinces. — oe OPINION IN MANITOBA. Sir Charles Tupper ought to be a fairly good judge of public feeling and sentiment. After having spent some time in Winnipeg and conversed with many people, he was But it is to be remembered that minion Government strove in vaiu enabled to say to a newspaper correspond- ent :-— “T found that public sentiment had un- dergone a great change from what it was represented to be some time ago. A large majority of the people seem to recognize the constitutional aspect of the case and are prepared to endorse the course taken by the government rather than that taken by Mr. Laurier. I had been led to believe they were violently and unalterably opposed to the government and would vote for Lau- rier regardless of other issues at stake, but I found them if quite a different mood. They understand al! that is involved in the election, and are disposed to view the school matter in a judicial spirit. Full and frank statements in the case, such as Mr. McDonald and I were able to make, have brought about a much better feeling, and I can see no reason for doubting that @ most decisive verdict in our favoi will be given by all western constituencies. The people are enthusiastic in their proval of our general policy, and many conscientious and well meaning men #bo | as <a ' ania RAILWAY OPPC'SITION.

It will thus be seen that as far back as the year ISTL Mr. Welsh was opposed to the construction of railways on this Island He ia still opposed to them, and is likely to continue so The Patriot new:piper is also opposed to the branch lines. It was always op posed to railways. In the year 1871, when the Railway Bill was introduced and car- ried, it opposed the measure with all its strength and vigor, so much so that whin the late James Duncan sought re-election at a bye-electioh he was defeated by the Hon. David Laird, who was then the editor of the Patriot, standing that he would stop the upon the express under- railway. | ' ! | ‘ But the railway and the branches to Tignish and Souris built forthwith The Hon. Benj Davies, when the Railway were Biil was before the Honse, opposed and voted against it, declaring, to use his own words; that it was not needed for “one hundred years to come.” Thus the records of Mr. Welsh, Mr. Laird and Mr. Davies shows that these politicians were against the building of railways; and we hare now, as before, the Patriot newspaper with which Mr. L. H. Davies is closely con- nected, opposing the branches, charging that they are bribes to the electors,—- and in many ways the Patriot and Mr. Davies throw cold water on the enterprise. The indications strongly point to the re- turn of the Government. ir Oliver Mow- at, the grit premier of Oatario, a gentle- man who well knows the political feeling ia Ontario, has politely declined to resign his position and come to Mr. Laurier’s rescue. If he was at all sanguine of the result, there ia no doubt but that he would have jumped at Mr. Laurier’s offer. The fact that ke has not done so, and w Il not do so, speaks volumes, as he is known to be one of the Of the times. On'the other hand, Premier Tail'on, of Quebec, readily accepted Sir Charles Tupper’s invitation to join his cabinet. This is a clear indication that he felt that he was running no risk in resigning the The peo em brace shrewdest observers one position to accept the other. ple of Belfast should therefore the opportunity which is now offered to Support a Government which is pledged to give it them and elect a member to the branch line and reject a candidate who for the past twenty-five years bas been actively opposing railways, and who is now, as he has been for the same period, ailied with men and a party who openly avow a like opposition. >+e+e — SUBSTANTIAL REASONS Tue Grand Old Man of party is Sir Oliver Mowat. admitted Liberal be shows the It must that Sir Oliver’s record that he is careful for himeeif, bis relatives end connections.

If the contes: results in a Laurier victory and the installation of Sir Richard Cartwright as finance minister and tart! maker, it will be dul‘er. The experience of the United States after its free trade tariff doctors had done their work justifies this prediction. —It is understood, says the Montrea) Gazette, that Hon. W. B. Ives, Minister of Trade and Commerce, will devote most of hie time daring the campaign to the differ- ent sections of the Eastern Townships, al- though the Minister of Trade and Com merce will pay weekly visits to Montreal. He has predicted that the Conservatives will carry eight out of the nive seats in the Township, and intends to make good his prophecy. Hon.

Tie Master of the Rolls directed the estate to be administered, under his dir- ection, and the usual accounts to be taken. Mr. D.C. McLeod for complainant; Mr. F. L. Haszard for heirs; Mr. A. B.

The matter is compli- cated by reason of some of the heirs being infants, frome resident out of the jurisdic t.o1 of the Court; and because the hue binds cfsomeof the beirs have jugdg- men’s recorded against them,thus creatiag a lien upon the heirs shares. Inasmuch as the complainant is a mar- ried woman, the Master of the Rolls di- rected a memorandum to be filed, signed by her, directing her solicitor to instruct counsel to pray fura sale.
