Mr. MILLS (Bothwell). Did the hon. member for Simcoe (Mr. McCarthy) not ngue that _ther§ cou1<_i _be no su_ch thing as- national unity without one language, and did he not quote Freeman and. Max Muller for the purpose of establlsmng that proposition 2 Mr. MCCARTHY. I disclaim having argued any such ridiculous proposition. I argued that community of language tended to unity, not that it was neces- necessary. Mr. MCCARTHY. No. Mr. BARRON. But the member for Bothwell (Mr. Mills) says it is the same thing. Mr. MILLS (Bothwell). I did not say it was the same thing. I stated he said Mr. BARRON. Well, he argues, as I understand, that the proposition of the member for North Simcoe is the same thing almost as if he proposed to reject the French language entirely. That con- tention reminds me of a story in a little book called “ Alice in Wonderland,” which all hon. gentlemen who may be , happy enough to have families, nodoubt, have read. Little Alice was seated at the head of the table, and there were present a hatter, a March hare, and a dormouse. An argument announced by little Alice did not seem quite to suit the hatter, and . so the hatter said : “ You might just as well say, little Alice, that because “ I see what I eat,” that it is the same as “ I eat what I see ;” and the March hare also re- joined : “ You might just as well say that because “ I like what I get " it is the same thing as that “ I get what I like ;” 1 and the dormouse said : “ Because, little ‘ Alice wys, “ I breathe when I sleep,” you might as well say it is the same 'hing as that “ I sleep when I breathe ;” and the hatter, summing up the propositions, said that little Alice must expect such incon- sistent propositions, as these, if she was to stand by the argument she advanced a few moments ago. I think if the batter in the story were in the House he would have addressed the hon. member for Both- well (Mr. Mills) regarding his argument in much the same way as he admonished little Alice on this particular occasion of Alice’s conversation. It is impossible for me, not being a historian, to follow the hon. member for Bothwell (Mr. Mills) in his historical crusades throughout the universe. He travelled up and down longitudes and back and forWard over lati- tudes to find authorities to show that it is in the interests of the unity ot the Empire and of the country that dual language i should be retained The hon. member in- troduced us to the Jews, to the Gentiles, and to the Greeks : he then took us among \ the Parthians. the Medes, the Elamites ; i then he brought us to dwell in Mesopot- l amia and J udea, and back again to the reign of Ahasuers; then he asked us to travel with him mentally among t} e Italians of Malta, and then jumped across j the Atlantic to take us among the French ‘ of Quebec. Then he introduced us among j the Dutch of the Cape, took us to Calcutta j among the Hindoos, and then among the ‘ Chinese of Hong Kong. He talked of ‘ the Heluts of Sparta, and travelled in and out among the Ionian Islands. He took us back to the Roman Empire, and then with one stupendous bound brought us among the Algonquin tribes of the N orth- VVest. All this for the purpose of show- ing us that dual language is not harmful, but that it is, in fact, rather desirable to‘ hate a variety of languages, and thereby the unity of the Empire is perpetuated and secured. But, Sir, the hon. vmember for Bothwell (Mr. Mills), from the Alpha to the Omega of his speech, never said one word abOut that great example shown us by the country to the south of. usâ€"I refer to the United States. Although the hon. gentleman referred to almost every country of the universe, he never once said a solitary word about the example shown us by the United States. There is not a doubt that in that great country their stupendous adVance in civilization and their immense advance in national strength and power, have been to a very great extent secured by the fact that they have one common school system, and one language from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf of Mexico to the boundaries which separate them from Canada. I do not propose to follow the different members of this House who have given us the examples of Germany, Poland, Finland, Russia and other countries. I prefer to take the statement of the hon. gentleman from Albert (Mr. Weldon), a gentleman whom this House recognizes as a great student of history and as one more able to speak on this im- portant matter than gentlemen who with- in the last three or four months have re- freshed their memories and secured new infarmatlon with the object of addressing the House on this question. ' Mt. MILLS (Bothwell). That it was I listened to the remark of the hon. the Premier himself when he replied to the leader of the Oppositionâ€"a leader for whom we all have more than ordinary respect and towards whom we entertain feelings akin to love and affection. This makes it all the harder for me to speak on this occasion, for I know that in saying what I do say and in feeling as I do feel I am not in accord with the leader of the Liberal leader, but, on the contrary, I am doing that way, and I am saying that, and I shall vote that which is contrary to his wishes, and perhaps shall hurt his feelings in a way I would not like. I think that the hon. the leader of the Opposition was right a hen he said that at all times in tl‘e history of Canada the rights of the minor- ity were disregarded by the Conservative party. We have only to go back to the times of the Family Compact. We have only to go back to the Seignioral tenures â€" the abolition of which the Right hon. gentleman too}: credit for the Conserva- IR. BARRON’SSPEECH On Dual Language in N. W. T. From the Hansard. Continued from page 3. tive; party, to prove this. Why, Sir, everything ‘ in the way of reform which has been done by the Conservative party (if my reading, of history is correct) has been brought about by the bayonet of argument addressed by the Reform party to the Conservative party of this country. The Conservatives have been forced time and time again to do that which they say now they did willingly, but which they only did. willingly because it was done for the purpose of preserving themselves in power. We find new that the Conserva- tive party in this House are actually, par- tially acceding to the proposition of the hon. member for North Simcoe (Mr. McCarthy). If the hon. the First Minister regards the rights of the minority, why did he not support the amendment of the hon. member for Bert-bier (Mr' Beau- soleil)? No ; on the contrary, to please a certain porti- on of the community, he goes against that which he has spoken for this afternoon, and brings in a clear amend- ment in favor of abolishing the dual lan- guage. The only difference between the ‘ amendment or the hon. Minister of Justice and the Bill of the hon. member for North Simcoe is that the hon. Minister refuses to do to-day that which the hon. member for North Simcoe wants done to-day, but , he says he will do it to-morrow, which i after all becomes except in point of time practically the same thing. The hon. Minister appeals to this House, not to be possessed of animus, not to create racial ‘or creed animosity. We know that the right hon. First Minister is the general- . in-chief of Mr. Meredith, who is carrying ! on a crusade against Mr. Mowat in respect E to Separate Schools and the alleged use of l French in the schools in Ontario ; and if i the right hon. gentleman is consistent, 1, after the language he used this afternoon, 1 he will write to Mr. Meredith and tell l him to stop this crusade ; and not only so, but he will support Mr. Mow-at in his efforts to do what is right and just to the French minority in that Province. Mr. MILLS (Bothwell). Follow the ex- ample‘ of the Opposition here. Mr. BARRON. Yes; he has had to appeal to the hon. leader of the Opposition here, and to the hon. member for West Durham, and they, being possessed of patriotic feeling. desire to help the Premier in this great difficulty ; but the right hon. the Prime Minister cannot be consistent so long as he assists and up- holds Mr. 1Meredith in Ontario in his present crusade and addresses the House as he did this afternoon I was surprised, Sir, to hear the right hon gentleman stigmatise the resolution of the hon. member for N orth Simcoe as the sting of a gnat. I do not know whether he meant that the resolution itself was a gnat, or that the hon. member for North Simcoe was a gust; if he referred to the hon. member, he made a very unhappy refer- ence. Mr. BARRON. New, 1 want to refer to a point made by the hon. member for Albert (Mr. Weldon), for whom :1s=1con- stit-utional lawyer, we must b we the greatest possible respect and I refer to it more pm ticul: 1rly because the point “as also raised by the hon. Minister of Justice. The hon. memberin his speech s::11d “ As I sit down mv attention has been called by the hon. member for Jacques Cartier (Mr. Girouard) to a constitutional point which, I think, might be very well stated at this juncture, namely, that what.- ever we desire to do in the North-West Territories in regard to the schools or the Assembly or the printing of papers or Judicial proceedings, we have no power under the- constitution to deal with the use of the French language in the courts ; for section 133 of the British North America Act reads as follows :â€" “ ‘ Either the Eninsh or the French language may be 'used by any person in the debates of the Houses of Parliament of Canada. and of the Houses of the Legis- lature of Quebec , and both those lan- guages shall be used in the respective records and journals of those Houses , and either of those langu ages may be used by any person, or in any Capleading; or process in or issuing from any court of Canada es- tablished ur. der this Act.” ’ The hon. Minister of Justice advanced the argument that the Bill would not be effectual in destroying the use of the French lancruzwe in the courts of the North Westd Territories, becmse those courts were c )urts of Canada established under this Act. I deny that proposition. I say the courts in the North-West Terri- tories are simply local courts. It is true, they were created by the Parliament of Canada; but they are not the courts to which this section refers. It refers to the Supreme Court and the Exchequer Court in the city of Ottawa; but you miuht as well say that the different courts in the Province of Ontario were courts of Canada under this section, as to claim that the courts of the North-West Territories are courts of Canada established under this Act. A despatch from Kingston says:â€"On Friday evening three documents were re- ceived at the palace from Rome. One di- vides the ecclesiastical province of Toronto separating from it the dioceses of King- ston and Peterborough, whose territory is constituted a. new province, with Kingston for its metropolis. to which the diocese of Peterborough and the new diocese that shall be created in the eastern part of Kingston territory are assigned ;as suffra- gan sees. The second document appoints Most Rev. James Vincent Cleary archbishop of the metropolitan see of Kingston. The third document, dated January 21. 1890, canonically erects the new diocese, defining its territory to he the civ11 counties of Glengary and Stor- mont united with Cornwall, having for its boundary the river St. Lawrence on the suuqh, the civil provinces of Quebec on the east, the counties of Prescott and Russel. with part of Carleton, on the north, and the county of Dundas on the west. Alex- andria, the chief town of Glengary, is made an episcopal see, from which the diocese takes its name and the bishop his title. The New Archdiocese. THE WATCHMAN. LiNDSAY, LINDSAY MARKETS.
