For the moment, let us try to settle this question of the Manitoba. schools, and for this purpose let all wise men afford their concourse of justice and patriotism. When this question has been settled, then let the thinking nation prepare itself loyally and honorably to meet upon the field of action, where once more the people will freely and conscien. tiously vote for the party which is to govern the country.
