The misapprehension contained in the Fol lowing from the Prince Albert Saskatchewan a one which the government Here and its friends have endeavoured most sedulously to cultivate and is shared by newspapers and individuals nearer Home who might be expected to know better the news which came by last mail regard ing the Hudson Bay railway Are most import ant. Or. Hugh Sutherland has come to an agreement with the Greenway government at last by which the latter contracts to give a Bonne of a million and a half dollars and the former to Complete the Road from Winnipeg to Hudson Bay within five or. Sutherland came to an agreement with the government of Manitoba Many years ago. The delay which has occurred in connection with the Aid to this Enterprise was through no fault of his and it is important that this fact should be clearly understood. Or. Greenway a speech in the Hause the other Day would give the impression and was no doubt intended to give the impression that in was owing to or. Sutherland s extravagant demands the matter was not settled Long ago. He endeavoured to Moke it appear that the president of the company had been holding ont for a Bonus of and that by some Clever diplomacy of his succeeded in beating this demand Down to this is the View of it the Toronto mail has succeeded in impressing itself with. The company it says which made some years ago the modest demand of is to get one third of that amount or the first mention1 Ever Mode of in connection with Aid to the Hudson Bay rail Way was in the Resolution moved by or. Joseph Martin in May 1886, when he and or. Greenway were leading the opposition. Or. Martin proposed that the legislature should guarantee Bonds of the company to that amount for a Peri and of Twenty five years. He and or. Greenway not Only forced that proposal on the Norquay government in the session of in the following eee Aion they forced a re enactment of the guarantee with a modification of the terms and conditions attached to it. It was not therefore the demand of or. Sutherland but the Volun tary proposal of or. Greenway and or. Mar tin and when considered and passed by the legislature or. Sutherland was and had been for some months in England. The company accepted the act of 1887 As the measure of Aid to be grunted by the province. It was not a Bona of but a guarantee of interest on that something vastly different. If a Man endorses a neighbor s promissory note he does not necessarily consider that he is making him a present of the amount of it. All the debate in the House ministers endeavoured to make it appear that the sum mentioned was to be an absolute gift to the in 1886 and 1837 the government undertook to guarantee the payment of in treat on that amount for Twenty five years or. Greenway and or. Martin being responsible for the proposal. In the same Way Dominion government guaranteed Bonds the 0. P. R. The guarantee was made in order to go e the company s securities greater value in the Market and not with the purpose or expectation of having to pay the interest. And As a matter of fact the government was never asked to pay a Dollar under the guar Antee. We cannot say that this would have the experience of Manitoba in the Case of the Hudson Bay railway although we do not know any reason Why it should not have been but it is significant at least that the company prefers the Cash Bonus of to the guarantee. The question of Aid is again settled and it is to be hoped it will not be re opened in deed precaution Haft been taken this time that the settlement shall not be disturbed. It was not the fault of the company that it was Dis Turbed before. No one connected with it was consulted when the present government the act of 1887 no one was con suited when the House voted or when a year later in voted the Bay railway project were destroyed. Through their Reo Kleu policy of those Days the province has Loet two and probably three years in reaching the Bay. 9 a difficult prob Tejett this is the designation Given by the Mon Treal witness to the Mahool question a Mani Toba for Many years the witness was in pred at As a religions As if that were a term of reproach and for Many More years it has bad to endure the imputation of being wickedly hostile to roman catholicism. Now the witness is not particularly or remarkably religious As it can take a hand in a political Shindy with the next Man and altogether comports itself much after the fashion of the Ordinary mortal. As to its hatred of catholicism we believe it can fairly be absolved of that sin. The fact simply is that it is strongly protestant with perhaps the least bit Lees of toleration than the average secular newspaper. That it is genuinely honest in All it says and does no one acquainted with it will doubt for a moment. If it keeps a vigilant Eye on the Hierarchy and distrusts a Jesuit it is because of Early but very sincere prejudices which it hits never been quite Strong enough to throw off. But thao it would deliberately wrong the Pope i himself we do not believe. T which ii bos taken a deep interest. It bad a tender sympathy for the French canadians when the legislature abolished the official use of their language and More than once spoke out very plainly on the subject it oven went so far As to dispute the expediency of that step granting that it was clearly within the competency of the legislature. It could see Many things More or less affecting 1the Issue which apparently did not occur to the Sapient legislators of Manitoba. But the greater question of the schools absorbed More of its attention. It is undoubtedly in sympathy with be secularization of All school ays ferns arid is sleep Lessly vigilant in guarding the encroachments of the Pope. But it believes that catholics have bodies to be kicked and souls to be Laved like other men that indeed they Are human and mortal just like protean its and it could not be coaxed into wringing a single one of them consciously.

Great Deal of sympathy with the French roman catholics in Manitoba in resisting the suppression of the Public use of their language and the appropriation of their school taxes to other than Romish the article of which this is the opening sentence admits that it May be a moot Point whether the settlement of 1370 secured those privileges of languages and schools torning rom the historic View to the facts at they Are we find a race who loan fairly claim an equal share at least in the discovery and earliest settlement of ing today a distinct recognition As a race in the permitted Nee of their language and in special privileges accorded to their in natural for them to see without the Strong est protest this distinct recognition with drawn on the other hand in is fair to say that the preservation of distinctions a prejudicial to the National Unity which is our first National interest. It is also to be said As far As the French language is concerned that while a source of exp use to the province it is hardly Ever used in the legislature or in Public affairs except As a prescribed form or for the propose of asserting the right to use it. Indeed except perhaps in some trials in the courts it is never convenient to Nee it. The protest on behalf of the roman Catholic schools rests on it More ser ious footing. Here is u distinct matter of conscience. Rightly or wrongly it is against the Congo Deuce of those roman catholics who believe All they Are taught and most of the women do so to tend their children to schools where the roman religion and reverence for the clergy is not a principal part of the train ing. If being required to pay taxes for the maintenance or the common schools they withhold their children from them and pay Over again for their education they prove their Faith by their works and Feltha Inthis matter of conscience they Are plundered by the this is very like what the free press has frequently said. That for conscience s Sake thes will pay double taxes we know from experience in the United states where three quarters of a million of Catholic children Are attending parochial schools. Yob it is a difficult problem not to be solved offhand we fear by on act of the Manitoba legislature. V and mryl sister in Law of n. Kitchen left for Atwood ont., to miss setter and George a.
