Sometimes it £0es one way, sometimes another, It is the natural tendency of the Ro- man Catholics to vote conservative, unless they have been partienlarly 'baited' by the Orangemen," Reasons are Historic. There are historic reasons for the way In which the various churches align themselves in politics. The ear- Jy conservative party in Ontario was largely Anglican, and held the view that "the episcopal system was inter- woven and connected with the mon- archical foundations of our' govern- ment." Bishop Strachan, a tory of the tories, was a great church-and- State man. He and those who thought with him supported the maintenance of the act of 1791, which provided that there should be reserved for the "Protestant clergy" in Upper and Lower Canada "a quantity of land &qual in value to a seventh part of Erants 'that had been made in the t be made in the fu- "The law was unjust. Even if the expression "Protestant clergy" signified '¢lergy of the church of England only---an assumption, to say the least of it, debatable--it was linreasonable that the members of that church, who were certainly not more than a third, and probably aot more than a fourth, of the popula- tion of Upper Canada, should have this exclusive privilege. This law of 1791 had been framed by the then dominant caste in Canada; which had the ear of the authorities in Engg land. : Then again the Anglicans favored denominational education--a system which was detested by George Brown and the grits. "I can. conceive noth- ing more unprincipled," exclaimed George Brown, "than a scheme to array the youths of the province in sectarian bands, to teach them, from the cradle up, to know each other as Methodist boys, and Presbyterian boys, and Episcopal boys. We have enough of this most wretched sectar- anism in our churches without carrying it further." Brown and Preshyterigns, George Brown was a Presbyterian. And his sturdy opposition, whether on the platform or in the columns of his newspaper, to the exclusive claim of the Anglican church and to the pretensions of the dominant caste which adhered te it, made a Power- A ------------~-- TAUGHT BY THE SWALLOWS, -- How a Rallway Tunnel Was Built Through a Sand Bank, A colony of bank swallows taught A young bt observing engineer how to build a tunnel, that his more ONTARIO and Methodists Sixty Per shyterians, Baptists, and inly Liberal--Catholies 'onservative, : i : ful appeal to the independent spirit of Preshyterians, although as regards the question of the "clergy reserves' 4 minority-of them would have ac- quiesced in a settlement of tie ques- tion which would have given part or these to their church. Sir Olivef Mo- wat was a Presbyterian, and Preshy- tarians have always been the back- bone of the liberal party in the pro- vince. "Ile "Clergy Reserves" question aroused almost as mueh ire among the Methodists as it 'df amon, he Presbyterians. And Egerton yer- son, whenever that question was raised, was in the forefront of the battle for religious liberty and eivil rights agaidst a 'state chure and a political oligarchy.

Despite the fact that, in later days, the Hon. Sandfield Macdonald, the first premier of the province, was a Roman Catholic, the Roman Catho- lies were at first arrayed against the conservatives. But George Brown's anti-popery correspondence drove them into the ranks of the conserva- tives for a good many. years. How- ever, Edward Blake and Sir Oliver Mowat were both always very coneil- latory and diplomatic in their deal- ings with Roman Catholics, but in 1883 the conservative party probab- ly still held the majority of them. In 1886 the conservative party made a rather ill-advised attack Qn the Mowat government not only for giv- ing special privileges to the Roman Catholics in separate schools, but al- 80 for truckling to them in other schools--a lot was made of the ex- clusion eof "Marmion" from these schools because (It was alleged) of passages in it offensive to Roman Catholics. At the same time, Mo- wat's Presbyterian support never wavered, and he used that as a de- as being imbued with republi- fence to the charge of truckling to Roman Catholics---for instance, Prin- cipal Caven, of Knox college, was staunch in his support, as were the two Blakes, who, though Anglicans, Were regarded as léaders of Protes. tantism. Sir James Whitney, on becoming conservative leader, dropped the an- ti-papist attitude of*his predecessors and there is little doubt that at each provincial election he receives a large measure of Roman Catholic support.
