The Ottawa correspondent a of several East a journals Are evidently under orders to keep up the agitation and if possible provoke Over the Manitoba school legislation. Of course whatever matter relating to ibis subject that appears in the East is promptly Aele graphed to Winnipeg. Bub the people Tony rate resolutely refuse to become each Cittel. Question involved in that Jehiol legislation i now out of the Lianda of politicians and trill be settled in Good time according to the Law Aad reason of the Case. In is Felt that there a no occasion for excitement or alarm and in consequence the most sensational re ports that come from Ottawa scarcely cause a Ripple to disturb the usual serenity of men s Aunda. The matter has been twice before the judges of Manitoba once at the original hearing and once on Appeal. On both occasions the Validity of the legislation was upheld. These were doubtless important judgments and Are entitled to every respect Bud they were contrary to the general expectation founded on a Plain common sense Reading of the Law and Tia not surprising therefore that the question is being carried further. It will come next before the supreme court of Canada and if the judgment of the lower court be sustained the Case will probably rest there so far a b the interpretation of the Law is concerned. But should the original judgment be twined it is not unlikely that the province to the judicial committee of the Imperial privy Council. If in the last resort the Jeg inflation be held invalid the Manitoba school act Falls and the province reverts to the old order of things subject however to such amendments at any time As circumstances deem expedient. Bat should the Validity of the act be upheld will be two courses open either to accept it und live up to it unless the province to the freest exercise of its own discretion Dhall choose to repeal it or remedial Legisla Tion May be sought w provided by the Constitution. In Case it will be both pos Able and necessary to proceed according to Law order and reason. There will be no occasion and Little room for agitation or excitement or turmoil of any kind. Whatever done will be done on the straight lines of Constitution itself and in a manner to avoid any doubt or dispute. This the people Jolly had Eirand. Should parliament be to remedial legislation it will be because the Constitution provides for Tush a course and because the circumstances of the situation require it. The Constitution would Tot provide for it without Good and sufficient reason and the fact that it Dees so assumes the framers of the confederation act were of the opinion not Only that the occasion for it might arise bub that it would be Well to be prepared for it. As Long As we keep within the lines of the Constitution we May hold ourselves moderately eafe from error. In the event of an application to Parlia ment or As it is termed in the Constitution itself an Appeal to the governor general in Council the politicians will probably Endea Vor to make capital out of it. It will be said that the province in the exercise of its con right has established a certain system and the Appeal to parliament to have this system overturned. This it will be claimed is a much an interference with the rights of the province As if the Exon its own responsibility bad chosen to disallow our legislation. Against this All that a necessary is to remember that the British North America act imposes upon parliament the duty of interfering in the and of exercising its discretion in of All the circumstances. By the Law Telf parliament n made Superior to the pro Tinial authority and to resent its interference would be an act of rebellion Thyl if dissatisfied we in Appeal to have the Constitution am end but the sober thought of the country on this Point with or. Blake who fed i that special amendments for special Owenu Uncas Are not to a entertained. It a More Likely the whole question will be settled by the courts bub should the Fina needy provided by the Constitution be in to cd although demagogues and charlatan of see in it an occasion for noise and agita Tion the sober steady reflecting citizen will Content to accept the situation As Laic Down by the Law and the Constitution. And old Otanm ring ont smok the increase in of these two it Norm As. Proof t pc Flor article Iris itself to try it. A Kraft co., the More of the dark than Bright. Or. Norman Murray a Montreal gentle Man who is strongly infected with the equal rights Craw has written to the Oban times ,0 congratulate the editor on his valuable Ervinea in behalf of the crofters of the High lands and islands. He a himself a most Ealous Scotchman and naturally interested n the fortunes of that class of Hia countrymen Boot whom there has been so much stir Dur the past few years. His congratulations to the editor Are soon made however after which he proceeds to give what he Calls on the Bright and id Ark sides f Canada. He Means Well Good honest gentleman that he is and doubtless without suspecting it gives the dark Side much the Leeper because things in the country Aie not regulated according to Hia particular notions of them. He says in the first place Canada is a Large Conn by with a population 3f Only five millions. It May safely be said that Canada could easily support a population of at least one Hundred Luliona if it were thoroughly developed. To Young Man of Good brain or muscle who h not afraid of work Canada offers induce ments not to be obtained in Scotland. Canadians Are not As literary As Scotchman. They Are in the habit of calculating everything tits value . Highland Scotchman need not expect Horn ctr in the native Canadian Asne will find n the Highland or Lowland so Tab. One of he greatest drawbacks of Canada is the National policy of the government. The members of parliament Are All paid a salary Lut of the funds of the country and naturally Mough Many Are anxious to become members f parliament. The manufacturers bribe the to opticians and the politicians Bride the manufacturers and the country has to face the Bill or this bribery and corruption policy. The government in Power pay the newspapers hat support their policy out of the Public funds of the country. There is no straight Liberal or free Trade party in existence present. The Only genuine distinction them in that the party in opposition advocate free Trade with he United states or what they Call Union. In other words they would sell Canada to the United to Morrow if they got the Chance. Another drawback and one that tries the patience of n Highland scotch presbyterian Nore than anything else is the Power that iome has in Canada. Rome controls the solid Catholic vote and every local politician that bids highest for it gets it no matter what views he is supposed to hold on other things. All the protestant churches Are disestablished to that they Are on an Equality in the eyes of the Law but the roman Catholic Church is established in the old province of Quebec and ibis gives her a tremendous Power in the country. It is feared that there will be a civil War in Canada before the complications arising out of this state of affairs Are cleared. This is a kind of letter that is calculated to do much harm. In Manitoba North West we have Many of those crofters and other highlanders and would be glad to have several times As Many More. No better Izerial than they can be found anywhere for the building up of a great new country on these illimitable Plains of North America. But such a letter As this read far and wide throughout the Highlands will do More to frighten away those who thought of coming than would any num Ber of stones of hostile indians and wild animals. For what would these be to the sturdy fearless Highlander in comparison with the political profligacy that would corrupt and the roman Catholic supremacy thai would enslave him immediately on his arrival and to be told too that nothing can uproot these influences but civil War which his writer indeed goes so far As to intimate is imminent. A pretty Story this to circulate among those whom we would gladly invite to share their lot with us. We have corrupt it is True but t is quite a mistake to say that the Public Ife of the country is corrupt. It is also a mistake to say that the Liberal or any other arty would sell Canada to the United states. Hat is exactly the one thing which men of All parties would refuse to founder any temp tation. Nor is there any apprehension out Ide the few dozens like or. Norman Muray As to the Power that Rome has in Canada. Nine tenths of the people absolute y refuse to be frightened by this roman Buga boo. No attempts Are made to establish roman supremacy and it could not be established if Here were. Roman catholics have political Power exactly in proportion to their members and being free citizens of a free country to this hey Are entitled. They Are regarded by the majority of canadians As fellow citizens and Ellow Christiana who have and must be permitted to enjoy vol civil and religious liberties n common with the rest of the population. Would not be a fit country for a scotch lie Lander to live in if such were not the. Case. For every Highland scotch Presby Terian who is impatient at the Power that Tome has in Canada there Are at least fifty who never think of Rome from one year s end to the other. J ust one word More no class of people in Canada More closely and truly mind their own business than do roman catholics. Or. Norman Murray has written a foolish letter. In communicating with his friends at Home he should Clear his mind if he can of these prejudices political and lie own immediate surroundings have instilled into him and remember that Canada does not consist of the Little Crotene of which he is do doubt a distinguished ornament. If he will do this he will spare the country the Justice of depicting it in a false Light. That is m every Way a suitable and prompts no scheme brimful of Good sense to Settle British Africa with the overflow population of British India. Little can be done with the native negro As he is hard to civilize and even More difficult to be taught the ways of the industrious and provident. The East Indian on the other hand is capable of the highest civilization and he would find in British Africa a climate and other conditions not unlike his own. With reasonable Over sight and judicious discrimination hundreds of thousands of the population of that de could de run into Africa in a Faw rears with immense advantage to All concerned.

Current topics. Of the Phach baskets in Montreal Gazette the new York press says it Canada wants to play reciprocity with the United state s sir John Macdonald will Lave to Stop dealing cards from the Bottom of the pack. Ard us Cox Sam will have to show up Tad be holds no Little joker auth As the duty on catch he used to beat the free fish trick in the Washington treaty. 80 we All believe.

We believe. He liberals of Canada believe and Many conservatives believe that the closer and Freer Trade relations we can have with the United states consistent with our National autonomy the better will it be for both coun tries. Treason of lob Cebah Toronto Empire waa not to be expected that the miscreants who secretly conspired to betray their country would cease operations even when beaten in the election a and since that disastrous overthrow at the polls on March it has Tseu perfectly evident that the labors of these Truh ors buys bean mainly devoted to putting obstacles in the Way of a satisfactory of the disputes be tween this country and if United states by All sorts of discreditable tactics such the publication of Frothy articles calculated to in same Public sentiment in the states against Canada and by the concoction of lying Dis patches to discredit the Dominion govern ment and fan discontent on this aide of the line. Allowed acts. Continued Rora first Catholic minority in Manitoba will receive Pruto Timon and redress. Tae purporting to be repealed will remain in operation Ana those whore views have been represented by in majority of the legislature cannot but recognize that the matter has been disposed of with due regard to the constitutional rights of the province. If the Legal controversy should result in the decision of the court of Queen s Bench being sustained the time will come for your Excel Lency to consider the petitions which have been presented by and on behalf of the roman catholics of Manitoba for red res under sub sections 2 and 3 of Section 22 of the Mani Toba act quoted m the Early part of this report and which Are analogous to Tho provi Sions made by the British North America act in relation to the other provinces. These subsections contain in effect the provisions which have been made As to All the provinces and Are obviously those under which the Constitution intended that the government of the Dominion should proceed if it should at any time become necessary that the Federal Power should be resorted to for the Protection of a protestant or roman Catholic minority against any act or decision of the legislature of Tho province or of any provincial authority affecting any right or privilege of any such minority in relation to Eastern opinions. Remarks of the Public journals on the government s Ottawa citizen John Thompson Points out that none of the petitions received have asked for the disallowance of the acts but merely that the interests of the minority be protected and this Protection can be Given by parliament. The Wisdom of the govern ment in leaving the question to be settled primarily by the courts in too evident to need comment and the question of remedial legis lation May Well be left in abeyance until the decision of the court of 6cal resort has been Given. Toronto Empire the government under the circumstances refrain from exercising the Power of disallowance but As the Manitoba act in common with the British North Amer Ica act constitutes Tho Dominion government a court of Appeal from legislation of Tho prov Ince affecting be educational rights of either catholics or protestants and As that Appeal has been made by Means of petitions it will be necessary for the government to consider the matter under these provisions of the act. They have however announced that they will not consider these petitions while the matter is pending in the courts a Duci Filion the Justice of which will be generally recognized. Hamilton Spectator the government has 6nally decided that id cannot disallow the Manitoba school act. It could properly come to no other decision. It ban Power to Dis allow provincial legislation but thin is Nob a Safaein which the Power ought to be exercised. The measure is within the competency of the legislature or it is not. If the legislature had no Power to Paes it it will not Ennd in the courts to which it is has Boen carried and interference by the Dominion government is not necessary. If it is within the Power of the legislature then the matter dealt with is one for the people of Manitoba alone to de cide upon. The people of Ontario would nut permit those of Quebec or any other province to dictate respecting their schools Aud in this respect the people of Manitoba have equal rights with those of Ontario. Montreal witness the government will not veto the Manitoba acts. They Are now before the courts and May possibly be Dis allowed. If Tho supreme court disallows them the government a saved All trouble. So Long As that is possible Why borrow trouble sir John Thompson seems to assume that the French language act will be disallowed As a matter of course. If the supreme court allows these acts As the court has done an Appeal on the education act will again lie to the governor general the same court which Haa Power no veto that act. But Tho government will not then be Able to act by itself. It will have to secure the concur rence of parliament in the passage of an act overriding the Manitoba act. Ottawa Jour dial probably not a half a dozen Ontario members of parliament would have supported a veto. No doubt the French conservatives in weighing the government s policy will make allowance for this. As they object to the Manitoba act they would probably object still More to the defeat of the government exactly As the great majority of Tho English conservatives last year objected More to Tho defeat of the government than they did to the Jesuit act. Consequently the government a not Likely to be seriously embarrassed at present by the decision to let Manitoba alone. Ottawa free press it is announced on the a Dhority of a Cabinet the ministerial no mention of Tho mat the Federal government has agreed to Bear the costs of the litigation now pending for the purpose of determining whether the Manitoba school act is constitutional or not. This is in unusual step for the Federal authorities to take and it probably indicates the opinion of the minister of Justice Tho act in question is Ultra Vires but should the judgment of Tho Manitoba courts be finally upheld the responsibility of a Jahng with the act will still rest with the Federal .

Mckenzie the Bill to incorporate the banners provincial com Pany was referred Back to committee on private Bills with instructions report the name As originally introduced. Hon. Or. Greenway moved the second read ing of Tho Bill to Amend the act for the Protection of game and fur bearing animals. He paid he proposed to submit some changes from the Bill As printed. It appeared to be the general desire of the people of the provide to protect Prairie chickens As much As possible. There was great difference of Opin Ion upon some Points but All were unanimous upon this. In the Bill the Sale of Tho game had not been entirely prohibited but he in tended to Sug Esfi to the committee when the consideration of the Bill came up that the Sale should be entirely prohibited. There had been considerable Contention As to the advisability of having the season open to Early As Thelston sept. Infrequently happened when the season was late that the Birds were not in Rood condition to Fly by the 1st of septem Ber therefore it had been thought advisable to extend the close season somewhat. Some wished it extended to the 1st of october but the 15th of september had been decided upon As a Compromise. If it were provided that there should to no Hunting until tha 1st of october there could be no Hunting with dogs. Another suggestion that had been made to him was that the Upland Plover generally leave at the of August hence in had been decided to make the open season begin on the 15th of july. In was proposed to make the open season for Deer three months instead of two months lasting from the 1st of october to the last of december. Deor could not be successfully hunted until there was Snew and there was usually not very much until the new year. Or. Roblin said that by an unfortunate oversight Prairie chickens were last year allowed to be an article of merchandise which had occasioned a Good Deal of hostile criticism. The changes proposed were in the Rit Fht direction Ai the desirability of protecting the Prairie chickens was conceded Bun they did t a far As they should. The representations made to the promoter of the Bill had apparently emanated from those who were designated no Farmer speaking for any considerable number could Ever have made such the Prairie chickens could properly and fairly be classified As an article of food in was not desirable to pass the amendment proposed or to omit such restrictions As were omitted. To make sportsmen More successful with dogs wets an Absurdity one party with a Kennel of dogs had last year killed goo or 700 Birds which they fold to the dogs and gave away to anybody. The legislature was Recreant when in permitted trained dogs to kill thus indiscriminately. He suggested that shooting men should be required to take out permits from the municipalities. _ sporting men were very much opposed to the provisions of the Bill they said that by the 1st of october the chickens were wild and dogs were utterly useless. On the other hand Early in september one could almost kill a Covey of chickens with a club. Banners Wero then too Busy to Mahoob them and to fix upon that Date would be to legislate for a few men designated sports. In England the Law was that no Man could carry a run without a License one was not allowed to shoot game without an other License and then he had to get permission from some land _ owner before he could use Bis gun. In Illinois Iowa and Home other states they had lost All their chickens by pandering to the sporting class. Hon. Or. Greenway said the Only com plaint made during the year had been in reference to Sale. He suggested that some further provision should by made for giving a Man absolute control of his own Franj. Some More summary proceeding than action far trespass was required. He suggested that if after reasonable notice not to do so it Man i hould Shooti on another s premises to should be he denied tha l Prairie were becoming Leas numerous in s Jrae districts he maintained they were More plentiful than formerly owing to dry seasons Lack of Prairie fire and greater scar City of foxes and wolves. Or. Martin ilor Rit considered the loth of september about the medium Date the lab being too Early. He did o Sre Why a Man who lived in town and could t be deprived of a taste of Prairie Chicken. On the other hand he admitted that in was pretty hard to open the door. He suggested that the lieutenant governor in Council have the High by proclamation when game in plentiful to open the markets for a fortnight or a month. In november Many Birds could a killed and kept Frozen bub in october Farmers would Only shoot for their immediate wants. Hon. Or. Mclean did t think the remarks of the member for Sofferin App red to the local sportsmen the True sport men would not indulge in indic Niqui Ite Slaughter. Thieo who keep Good doge could not be ignored by extending the close season to the 1st of october. In the web the indiscriminate slaughtering by Tidis wms objected to. Or. Norquay held that extending the close to the 1st of october was in the tight direction As the Farmers could Nob get out to shoot Early in september. He Nib fitted that indians should be kept within their reserves and not allowed to outside to shoot ont of season. The motion for the second Reading waa carried. The Bill to Amend the act providing for the erection of a new jail for the Central judicial District Hon. Or. Was read the second time and referred to the committee on Law amendments the promote explained Ahab it waa to strike ont insert the former amount having been found insufficient. The Cost of the site when completed would be about and Bhe difference Between this and and would be the coat of the jail a clause provided for the repayment of Bhe loan in ten instead of five annual instalments. The rate of interest was to be c per cent. Or. Gillies presented a petition from the town of Minnedosa asking for Relief from the injustice done the municipalities of Bhe Western judicial District in connection with the building of the Brandon court Houpe and jail. Notion my. Hon. Or. Mcmillan that the House itself into committee of the whole to consider of a Supply to be granted to her majesty and into committee to consider of the ways and Means of raising Ipoh Supply. The House then adjourned until 8 p. Ave plug session. At the evening session the Bills robbing to the Canada landed in vestment of. And inspection of Public institutions passed their third readings. The House went into committee on the school Bill the clauses of which were passed and the committee Rose and reported and the Bill was read a third time. The Bill respecting the application of the Oun Mary convictions act1 to prosecutions under the provisions of the statutes of Mani Toba committed and Ita clauses adopted and the Bill read a third time. The Bill to Amend the municipal neb woo committed its clauses adopted reported read a third time and passed. On the Bill to Law respect ing the election of members of the legislative Assembly Hon or. Greenway explained that he Only asked a second Reading and a the Cost Nitter on jaw Amend ments without committing the House to the principle of the Bill. The Bill was read a Sec Ond time. The Bill to Amend the act respecting county courts received a second readme1, on motion of Hon or. Martin and was referred to the Law committee. Or. Gillies introduced a Bill entitled an act to Amend Cap 25, c3 via Hon. Or. Martin introduced a Bill to Amend certain acts my to provide for certain matters. Hon. Or.
