The announcement just made in the 8ablel;rams that the Privy Council in England is to give its deeisiou revers fag that of the Supreme Court of Can- ada, in the matter of the Manitoba echools, is one that will be disappoint i1,g to many of our readers. We re- gret exceedingly the necessity there exists for re opening thiss much sexed question; indeed, it is impossible to say how far reachi• g the cousequences may prove, 'I he result of this decision in Sayer of the Roman Catholic miuority in Manitoba will entail a heavy respon- sbheiity on the Dominion government, whichever course may be pursued.. Should the federal government, ou the ease being brought before them by this decision of the Privy Council, dismiss the apneal—then no further actiou can be taken; but if the governor in Coun-' ell should decide that injustice has been done to the R. C. minority in lifani- toba, by the passage of the Provincial School Act of $1890, then it will be for the Dominion government to recom- mend Parlament to pass remedial legis- lation. Now that Sir. John .Thompson is removed from the scene of action and a Premier succeeds, who is both a Protestant and an Orangeman,—not to speak of an oyerwhelmih.tr majority of Protestants in the Cabinet,—we may reasonably hope that much of the bit- ter less hitherto displayed throughout this vexed questiou will be ameleora- ted, if not altogether removed from the sphere of polities—and that a calmer, judgement will characterize the dis- cussions which may take place in ar- riving at a peaceful solution. One chin;; is certain—the Cabinet at Ottawa, as well as the general public, will now realize the great loss sustained by Can- ada in the removal of the late Premier' whose calm judgement and a great legal attainments will be sorely missed in the counsels of his country.
