He quoted the various acts or the Manitoba Legislature to show that previous to 1890 the school system created by that Legislature. under its constitution. was carried out on denominational lines as between Catholics and Protestants. Throughout the history or the movement for re.- dress the Government first referred all petitions and proceedings to the Man!- toba Government. The course was not at all drastic.

The real question was that the extent 0! the grievance ought to be en- quired into. The Opposition dld not geny the jurisdiction or this House in the matter of the educa- tional legislative functions and the Lon-Lil Legislature, but a respect for provmctal rights in general should teach us how to interpret and exercise our poxvers or interference. He con- tended that the Government itself ad- mitted that the only way to apply the remedy was through the Provincial Gun rnment. The bill was evidence of that. Then, as to the best time, there was no doubt that this proposed re- nmly should be applied only as a last nan-t. The character or the remedy was a matter of opiniOn so far, and should not be determined upon with- out enquiry. Nothing prescribed that it was l’urliament’s bounden duty to zit-2, 01‘ when and how it was to act. 'Vcl‘)‘ fow except the Manitoba and it'orthwest members knew anything of thc condition of the schools up there, and it would be as reasonable to ex- pu't Parliament to deal with the lob- sm- lisheries of Nova.

The bill would result in a Catholic being taxed $25. while his Protestant neighbor paid only 50 cents. This would mean inefficient Separate schools. Mr. Ouimct interrupted to ask it he was aware that these very inefficient schools were being attended in Winni- peg by 44 Protestant pupils; and these schools were being kept up by people who at the same time were paving taxes to Public schools. ., ,"A My contention is that it‘ is not the habit of our clergy to threaten. I know not what the threat to which he refers was. If he referred to the letters which have been published in the news- papers, I do not see how that could be construed into a threat. I speak here in the presence of men from the Province of Ontario whom I have known when I was engaged in Cam- paigns under the leadership of the great old leader of the Conservative party (Sir John A. Macdonald), and under the leadership of that other great man whOSe loss We deplore (Sir John Thompson). I tell these gentle- men that if they can be led to believe that the French-Canadian Catholics or the French-Canadian clergy are not as true and as loyal to the Crown of England and to the flag of Canada, I ask it to be shown to me. because I have had every possible oppOrtunity of studying their past history and the history of their present movements and I am unable to find an instance in which it can be stated that the elem Of Canada have been disloyei.

Even in that period of 1837, when the senti- ments or the French race were more moved than at any other period, when mme of our own people were fighting for constitutional rights, but ignored the constitutional way in which these rights should have been vindicated, what course ("d the clergy or Canada take ? Did no we see then the Arch- bishops and the Bishops publishing mandamuses all through the country telling their people that their duty was to remain true to the Crown and to respect the constituted authority. Why should we not follow such a. lead ? I do not wish to be misunderstood, and I am not insinuating Mr. Laurier at- tacked the clergyâ€"(Opposition hear, hear)â€"but carried away in the discus- sion. he said that he had been attack- (,d by the clergy. My contention is that it‘ is not the hohif he mn- olprzv to threaten. I know DUGUC Luce: ”.V‘M‘I-r- . rlest The only brother he had was a. p among the blacks in the West Indies. A short time ago he received a. letter rom his brother, who asked that the Canadian flag should be sent him to place over the house he had built be- cause he would like to see the flag of his native land flying on it. or such loyal men were the clergy and the Country was proud of them. Slr Adolphe Caron then said :In‘1812, when our people were under the sorest temptation to give up thelr allegiance to England. because of the promlses held out by the Amer-leaps. what course , A_‘_.‘ 0 Evan Kn lander had. on the athei- hand. in 1393. said that not a moment at de-‘ lay should be allowed in the settlement of the question. but toâ€"day he prongs- ed six months' further delay by mov- ing the six months' hoist. Later he said there should be an investigation, but now he simply wished to (m the bill out of doors. In the House he call- ed the Remedial Order an invitation. not a very drastic name. He quoted L3 Cultivateur. and other French papers. which reported Mr. Laurier in Que- bec. showing his speeches as reiterat- ing the declaration that he would re- establish Separate schools while the English Liberal papers were altogether different in tone. Referring to Mr. Laurier’s claim that there should be an investigation he asked what better evidence could be had on the 901!“ than that 0! Archbishop Tache and Sir Donald Smith. Moreover, when the proposal was made to secularize the schools all the Protestant clergy had protested against it. He considered Mr. Laurier’s reference to the cleft!)r as most unfortunate. Had the clergy no rights? They were sons of the families of the country and should the fact that they wore the religious habit restrain their trying to lead or per-~ suade their brothers? _ - _ m_1--a thg qqestlon, me' m 'contmxon or 01 {591315 1 He agn- on"-.. u. v- are well expressed in the following quotations. taken from an address or the GM.
