:.VE'GOTJATIOV AT 1 ASII-
Ic\ G2'O117;
Tun government at Ottawa have not
delayed to fulfill their promise of en-
tering into negotiations with Washing-
ton for freer traderelations such as will
be mutually advantageous to both
countries, the High Commissioner for
Canada, in comparing with the British
Minister at Washington, held an inter-
view last week, with Secretary Blain,
the result of which was that Sir Char-
les Tupper returned to Ottawa on Sat
urday last, where some time was spent
in conference with Sir John's Cabinet
.as to the basis on which negotiations
could proceed. On the afternoon of the
same day, Sir Charles left by train, for
Washington, accompanied. by the Min-
ister of Justice, the Minister of Finance,
and the head Statistician, for Canada,
to meet girt Blain at Washington, as
arratinged for the free discussion of all
matters pertuniug to trade relations
between the two countries. It is mat-
ter of regret, in the meantime,that cer
tain members of the opposition are do-
ing all in theirpower to prevent a fair
reciprocity treaty. Whatever the op-
position press may say or do, to pre-
judice the ease of Canada in the minds
•-of the American people, we know- that
the Commissioners who are now in
Washington are thoroughly posted on
all points; and despite the strenuous and
suieidal efforts that are being put forth
by Cartwright, Fairer, and the Prem-
ier of Nova Scotia, to open our markets
for American manufacturers to the det-
riment'of native manufacturers and to
the throwing out of employment tens
of thousands of our own people, vi,e feel
assured that the delegation sent from
Ottawa are equal to any emergency in
• diplomacy that may bemade for Canad-
ian interests. The public will annious-
Iy await the reslllt of the deliberations.
at Washington, and their report will
furnish the means ofan exciting de-
bate when Parliament meets:
,.7'JISALLO 1;6'.:11 C E OF THE MANI-
TOBA SCHOOL ACT.
the advice of the Minister of Justice,'
refused to disallow the Act passed by
the Provincial Legislative abolishing
the seperate schools, and preferred to
let the matter come before the law
courts to test the validity of the Pro
vincial Act. In other words, it is now
left to the courts to decide whither the
present Manitoba School Act is ultra
vi•1'es;• and should this view be main
tamed by the courts, and the School
Act of 1890 be annulled, the Roman
Catholics of Manitoba will be entitled
to their. separate schools as before.
Should, however, the present Act of
Legislature passed last year be sus
tallied by the legal tribunals, then it
will be completed for the Dominion
Governroeirt to consider the petitions
for redress presented on behalf of the
R. C, ininority,nudcr certain provisions
of the Acts of 1870 (numbered 2 and 3)
which are the same as those incorpor-
ated in the B N. A. Act of Confeder-
ation, by
onfeder-ation,by which the Federal govern-
ment is
overnmentis made a court of appeal to pro-
tect the minority u1 their constitutional
rights. Thus the matter now stands;
and while the non -disallowance by the
Dominion Government will procure a
serious disappointment to those who
were anxiously looking to make polie-
ical capital out of the government's
action, and who would vastly have pre
ferred had the Manitoba Act, of last
year been disallowed,—the present at-
titude of the Federalgoyernment will
be regarded by all reasonable people,
whether Protestant orCatholic as a wise
resolve on the part of the Adrninistrat
ion,
The same course has been pursued
by the government in the matter of the
dual language Act passed ley the Leg
islature of Manitoba. It was decided
by the Cabinet not to interfere by dis-
allowing the Act, but to leave the mat-
ter to the operation of the lase courts
so that any one feeling; aggrieved by
the action of the Provincial Legislature
can resort to the courts for legal red-
ress, and thus the public would be bet-
ter satisfied by a decision on the Con-
stitutional question than by any arbit-
rary exercise of the vetoing power on
the part of the Government.
TEMPEST IN di TEAPOT:
NEVER was this adage better illus-
trated than in attitude of the opposition
journals in regard to the recent visit
of Canadian delegates to Washington,
Certainly they arewelcome to all 'thp
little comfort which can be derived from
the sudden and unexpected turn . of
affairs which compelled to return with-
out having accomplished the object of
their mission. We are not quite so
verdant as to suppose for a single mo-
ment that it was a ruse on the part of
the authorities at Washington, in or-
der to gain time or to slap in the face
the gentlemen who were commissioned
with authority to discuss trade relat-
ions between Canada and the United Sta-
tes.Wecan readily believe that the Pres-
identeind Mr. Blain are gentlemen,
and: know how to treat with becoming
civility men occupying the high and
honorable position of the Canadian del•
egates. And the lightest knowledge
of human nature,as well as a fair mod-
icum of that "charity which f aileth not',
Should have enabled any but the
most bitter partizans to comprehend
the situation in which our delegates
were placed. But the old adage ap-
plies here, "drowning men catch at

er returns in haste to the capital to
consult with the Premier and his col-
leagues as to the basis of negotiations.,

Charles to be still in Washington, but
having arranged for his Western town•
expresses his desire to be personally
present and hear the negotiations as
they proceeded; but the high commis-
sioner has returned to Ottawa, and he
fore a telegram reaches him there, Sir
Charles and the other two gentlemen
appointed by the government as dele-

„atesare of than way to Washington

and appreciate the feeling of disap-
poiettnent if not humiliation, on the
part of our Delegates in thus failing,
ti
to secure the personal presence of Mr
Harrison so as to lay the basis or terms
of negotiation before the approaching
Parliament. This was the reason for
haste onthe part of our Delegates. It.
will not soothe the temper of the -oppo-
sition, but rather add to their ehegriu,
now to learn that out of deference to
the anxiety of our government to ar-
range for a formai discussion of all
matteis'of trade, President Harrison
has been pleased to appoint an early
day when the whole matter can be
calmly discussed, and such a b'isis
agreed upon in regard to reciprocity
