witnessed hen lunar tie peat few weeks
clearly Iodieate bow frail is the fuuodetioo
upon which the protect 1 •bine has been
...retracted.
The weather Bock on the tower of P•rha

revolutions that bare t.kee peace to eteee

H•ltgitt knew he had not heard the lent
of the Correia Hedge steal, ow Shires

:soo" oriel inb if investigated would dis-
close seer very nnples..ot truths as to
where your mousy was going to. He aloe
know that in the reducer of expenditure
arc the latercolostal railway he bad taken
credit for whits was the work of artiste,
ler it was not Haggert's scheme that wiped
out the delict iso this read and he wee
&tried the truth might cone nut.
Rut Haggrrt se numbered with those wbo
have had to t.ke • hack art and he has not
the pluck to memo.
While in many trotters of public policy
the Cabinet has been divided, roare isprob-
ably w question w which tk. dividing Imes
have bots se firmly drawn as in resol1s a
decision in the Manitoba school case.
/t'Itro.. diecering the merits of the one

wl i: be a matter of greet Interest te new

Immo they espreet, ahold the ManilebS
legislature refuss to take actloa oo the man-
date sect by the premier hem here to Gov.

It may safely be said !het for the time
this question bas been made paramount to
all others and that ler 'het reser and the
Importance that has been attached to it, it
is lucun,bent on botb political parties to as -
sun in haste( it settled, not on its political
meads but upon the bases of equity god
right
It must net be u.dentood that 1 .m ore
tylog or condemning the policy the Govern -
meet has adopted to this matter.
As Liberal. we can .11 unite to critical/4g
err coedemoing the GoTersmot'. isuti
policy : we can oensare their extravagance,
but es the question now before you then
are principles involved that do sot admit 4
our being • unit as !Amnia either way, . d
for that re•eoe I do sot propose inflictl.g
my tedindusl opinion upon you ea to
whether the 4.overumeat 5.,. weed wisely
or not.
The decistnn reached is bound to offend
Liberals and Conservatives alike in o.rteir
,ostlers while by • very Targe section of the
country of both political @tepee It will be
removed with satisfaction and It u sot for
me to say, therefore, whether the lovers•
sheet in reaching • ordure have hear
prompted by a desire to do what they btu
:weed to he right or whether them action
has bra in.pirrd by patties! motives.
