On motion to go into Supply, Mr. Tarte began a long speech in French, condemning the Goverunient on their policy in the Manitoba School question. Mr. Tarte continued his speech in Eng- lish. Ho said that he did not feel in drat opening this qmetion justified in speaking n English, owing to hia imperfect know - edge of the language. One would not aspect that since thirty years past the operate &hoot question had. been eeteled, as far as the Provinces. of Upper and Lo wer anada were concerned. At the present him we were face to face with the 811M8 Hanley which it was supposed had been ettled. We had gone back thirty years, nd it could not be denied that we were ace to face with a great national melee. Who was responsible for that stateof things? History and posterity would eay that a trong Government had failed to deal with !audition which they should have dealt ith. He begged to move in amendment o the motion to go into Supply; T. That Il the words after 'that' be left out , nd the following substituted: "That this , ouse desires to express its disapproval of he action of the Government in dealing • th the Manitoba whoa question in o- wning to be possessed of judicial functions onfliotheg with their duty as constitutional ‘ dviaers to the Crown, which aseumption is holly unknown to law, and if now am • niesced in would be eutirely subversive of ' he principle of Ministerial responsibility. " Mr. LaRiviere reviewed tbe whole history the Frenob language and the Separate chord question in Manitoba. There wee no fficulty till the Greenway Goiernment me into power, and on that occasion he was rry to see that the Liberal press of Quebec jorced with those so-called Liberate Af. ter Mr. Greenway came in all Roman tholic school editions were wiped out, ustees were dismissed, fends that be- nged to the Roman Catholic School ard, amounting to some $14.000, were ken away from them and given to the her section. It was nowonder that he reed to a great extent with his hon. • end from Meet, even although he did t agree with him in his means of seeking ; etnedy. He denied that the minority of anitoba were acting under the directions " the hierarchy. He would have much • easure in voting against the amendment, i Sir John Thompson said that Memel bhe eech of the hon. member for ',Islet had en prepared. hy one person and the reeolu- n drawn up by e.zot her prreop. The hoe. f ntlemael •had made the most forcible re of hie arguments wail of his utrook j on the,Govro ernent on the growls!. thet Acts of 1890 ought to bave been dig - owed. They looked in vain in the four f nem of hie resolution to fiud tee sultject disallowance mentioned at all. The Pro- t oe of Manitoba, for the parposes of this' 11111072t, commenced Ma existence in 1870, d the first question which aroae oote- h tion with the rights of the Ininority de. 0 &id for its solution on the condition education in that PrOvillee at t t time.

We said, as regarded the prayer for diaallowance on the ground of the Acts being ultra, vireo, that that ought to be decided by the °mime. On behalf of his colleagues and himself he disoleimed any ettempt to evade Ministerial responsibility.

So Mr as the disposal of this appeal was concerned, the minority must bow to the decision of he Federal authority. Mr. Macdonald (Winnipeg) had heard nothing advanced by the hon. member for L'Islet which would enablehim eonsistently to support his amendment. He thought that elm proceedings taken by the Local Government of Manitoba to enforce the School Act were ouch as to give the keener). sion that it was their intention to add insult to injut y, and to outrage in every way the feelings of the minority in the Province from which he mime. He felt with the hon. member for L'Islet that the Government should have dealt with this matter, and riot have left it to the minas, but there hie views diverged fic4 those of his hon. friend. He (Mr. Macdonald) considered that any interference with Provinciel legis- lation would have been an outrage on the rights of the Province to which he belonged. He desired that the Government ehould declare openly to the country that, the mat- ter having been referred to the courte for decision, and having been carried Irene the courts of Mauitoba to the Supreme Court of the Dominion, and from the Supreme Court to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the highest court of eppeal,snd that Court) homing decided that this Provincial Legislature of Manitoba acted within their rights in posing the Act in question, that that judgment shall be considered final and binding, and that this School Act ehall be upheld. So etrongly did he feel on this question that he was ready to carry his resistance so fur as to vote want of confidence in a Government he had been elected to support, if there was any interference with what he considered weildefined Provincial rights. Air. McCarthy moved the adjournment of the debate. The following bills were introduced: Re- specting the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- pany—Mr. Pope. Respecting the Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo Railway Company—Mr. Coats. worth. Incorporating the Cauadiam Gas ComenY —Mr. Mills (Annapolis). • Mr. Mulook intioduced a bill to amend the Dominion Elections Act, which propose to extend certain penalties now only appli- cable to bribers and bribees to a class et persons who bet on eleotious. Mr Speaker read a message from His Excellency transmitting the papers relating to the conference at Washington in Feb- ruary, 1892, between the delegates of the Canadian Government and the Secretary of State for the United States. Mr. IVInCerthy, resuming the debate on the Manitoba school question, reviewed the principal events leading to the present Heaton. He had no sympathy with the hon. gentleman who moved the amendment, nd who, as he understood it, thoughe that he Provincial Act ought to have been dis- 'lowed. On the contrary, he was exceed- ngly glad to hear the clear, distinct and mimetic etstement of the First Minister het the Government) never thought of die - Rowing it, that it was a matter b. yond the each of Ministerialrespeneibility. He egretted that he (Sir 'John Thompson) had ot as emphaticelly staaed his views in is report as in his speech. It is now greed. by both aides of the House, for Mr. Blake, speaking for the bulk of is party -some years ago, stated that or their part, speaking for his fellow - embers on this side of the House, they eld that legislatioa with regard to e.duca. ion was not to be vetoed or disallowed. o commended the speech of nis hon. friend one Winnipeg (Mr. Hugh Maodonatd), and oncurred in what he said as to not sabmit- ng to an encroachment on the rights of his rovitice, and in hie statement that he would ote against any Government that ettempted interfere with what that province had one. What right had the Government to vite litigation, and to call upon the pro- mo to appear at the bar of etice ? The question was a prac- cal one here and now. He aaked e House to come to a conclusion e way or the other as to whether inter - rem° would be tolerated, interference hich weteld only lead to trouble between e Dominion aod one of its Provinces. in anitoba the veto power had been stretched its utmost linale. Ile did not hesitate to y at the moment that it was a dangerous Mame, and that irritating proceedings re calculated to do very great mischief M - ed. Under these circumstances was it he that they should strain the relations {sting between the Dominion and one of greeted Provinces? Was it for the sake avoiding Miiiieteriel responsibility that e Government were prepared to refute A co to interiere ? Wie.s it for this that the entity feelings existing between the minion and the Provtnce were to be perdized 1' Upon the vote which the vernmetit might cast on this emotion, uld to a very great extent rest the wal- e of the Dominion. Sir Hector Lang/min saiel that he did net nk that there was any inMntion to ino se Separate schooloa the Province of anitoba, hut it was held that those ochools d leen taready established herons the Act 1890 was passed. The hon. gentleman med to think that only one section of people had rights. He did not agree th him in that. The minority had rights as well as the trugority. Comparing the resolution of the member for Lislet with an article in the Canadian .16frzgomine by Mr. De.lton McCarthy, Q. C., M. P., it looked as if these two had their heads together ire preparing a case topnt before Parliament).

Mr. Duly said that the schools were pieced on A per Capita boom There were in Manitoba, anri the Not -devout 19 hcardiag sehools, with 360 echolars. Six of the sohoole were uneer the Church of England, eix under the Roman Catholic Church, six under the Presbyterian, and one under the Methodist Church. Of the day ;whines there were 110, with an attendance a 1,458 pupils. Of rewire 58 were under the Church of Engeincl, 31 under the ROMatl CathOli0 Churett, 2 trader the Preebyteriau Church, 14 under the Methodist Church, and 5 un - denominational. There were 10 industrial schools, with 1,030 mile; 4. were uuder the Ohureh of Eaglangl, 3 under the Roman Oatholic Church, leuuder the Presbyterian, and 2 under the Methodist Ceurch. Mr, Patterson (Brant) mid they would have to home patience with the system. The Indian ohurauter could nob be transformed at once. The difficulty experienced was that the Indians after leaving the industrial wheels went back to the reserves. Mr. Daly—That is a problem. , Mr. Paterson (Brant) thought the system the best thee could be devised at present. Ou the item of $10,000 for litigetion under the head of miscellaneous, Mr. McMullen asked for an explanation. Mr. Foster said the item was for litiga- tion in connection with the Behring Sea fisheries matter. Mr. Davies—But you had a opecial vote for that. Mr. Foster—I think this is for arbitration expenses. I shall briog down full inform - Mom On the item of $15,000,' the further amount required for the Prohibition Com- mission, Mr. Cherleon said the commiesion was a farce, and the evidence they had gathered all rubbish. The commission had been appointed to stave off action on the pert of the Government and the necessity of meet- ing an awkward question. The country ought to severely condemn the Government) for mush a screaming farce. Mr. Soriver asked what the cost of the codamiesion, had been to date, and what it would still cost. Mr. Foster said the total cost would probably be not lees than $25,000 or$30,000. The commissioners, five in number, received $10 a day, railway fare, and $4 for hying expenses. He did not think the appoint- ment of the commission had been a scream- ing farce or more bob. He thought the Government actually brought to the front the question by appointing this commission. He dtd not think the hon. member for Nor- folk Was justified in using the strong language which he had used. Mr. Charlton claimed that the appoint- ment of the commission was unneciessary, as all the information necessary was already before the people. The temperance people did not reek fur the commission. The action of the Government was dictated by party exigencies. Mr. Coataworth pointed out that there were three dooms of people to be consid- ered. One class fs,vorechprohibition at any cost, another did not favor it, and a third class, and that clays which would probably decide the matter, wiehed Molter information before they came to a decision. was himself a prohibitionise (" Oh, oh.") Mr. Gibson—Is it your intention to go before the commission if you are called upon? Mr. Coateworth—I have nothing to,olo with the commission, and I doubt the lid= visebility of a member of Parliament going before the cornmiesion. His position is something like a judge. (Laughter.) Of course our fenotions are both judicial and (Renewed laughter.) He fa- vored the Government's action in appoint- ing a oCmtedseion. Mr. Christie said every one know that the only remedy for the evil of intemperance was prohibition. Mr. Scriver eald muchof the evidence the commission' had adduced would be worthless, and, the course pursued by. the commiesion. left oi doubt in many minds as to their impartiality. h it out of the public °been tife moved that a , the item be struck oat. y 1 Mr, Ives said if the hon. gent/eMan knew ? anything of the constituency of Richmond o and Wolfe he would not have immolated time any considerable section a the people d could be bribed by the erection of a post- e office. There was not the slightest founds - o tom for the immolation he had made.

Mr. Devies desired to call the attention of the leader of the House to the French treater. He had received many inquiries from the Maritime Provinces, asking whether, under the motion of treaty relat- ing to artieles of Canadian origin exported direct which, might be advanced to the minimum tariff on entering France, fish preserved in their natural form, suck as dry codfish, dry herring, or mackerel, were included. Mr. Foster said that on Monday afternoon he would make a general statement regard- ing the provisions of the treaty. M. Davies pointed oub that prohibition was so vital a question with a section of the people that it would be impossible to get it true expression oropinion on trade or other important questione, because these people would stand shoulder to shoulder for the candidate who was in favor of prohibition. The only way to settle the matter was to test the gentiment of the people and get a direct vote—yea or nay. Mr. Laurier again called the attention of the Goverment to the vacancy in the County of Vondreuil. Mr. Foster asked the hon. gentleman to put hie queation on Monday. Mr. Laurier thought the delay inexcure able, and said there were means which Ole Opposition could use when they thought hobbit+ bad not been done. The following bills vvere passed a second and third reading: To amend the Wrecks and Selvage AM— Mr. Costigan. Respecting the disposal of moneys paid in couraection with proceedings before Parlia- ment—Mr. Fester. Mr. Foster moved the House into Com- mittee of Supply.

In the days when men sold their vvives for a small money consideration the wotnan in the case was not always dissatisfied with the changed order of things, says the Waverley Magazine. Early in the month of March, 1776, an English carpenMr named Higginson went into an ale -house for his morning draught ; there he met a fel- low -carpenter and their conversation turned on wives. The carpenter, whose name history basnotrecorded, lamented that he had no wife. Higginson, on the other hand, lamented and expressed regret that there was no way excepe murder by which he could rid himself of her The carpenter assured Higginson that there was a way—the old English custom had made it (mite lawful for a husband to oil his own rib. "No one would be such a fool as to buy mine," sighed Higginson. "1 would do so," the other promptly replied, "and think I had made a good bargain too." The husband, just) then in a mood to chafe against domestic restraint, clinched the bargain on the spot. Mrs. Higginson was duly claimed by her new load and went willingly enough and lived with him as his wife. In a few days, however, Higginson either grew tired of his matchless home or sus- pected that he hadmot done right and went to the other carpenter's house, demanding his wife back. ligginson strenu- ously refused to leave her new lord. "A sale is a sale," said she, hilted not a joke." Higginson went again and again, but to no purpose, and after a week or two ceased °Wan. His wife had just begun to conclude that he had at last quietly resigned his claim, when she was cited to appear before e coroner's jury and. identify her husband, who had eeteled the questioteby hangin.g himself. The price paid for the women not recorded. Universalisite and Unitarians. There are two "liberal" churches of the country that are quite closely asso. ciated in the public mind, though there are wide diffeeencea in their, tenets of belief. Both the Uditarian and Universalist de- nominateons are enjoying a steady growth. The 'attaches double the number of church organizations and buildings. On the other hand, the 'Unitarian is a much richer sect, owning finer edifices and including among its membership a greater number of wealthy people. A recent census bulletin makes these facts clear : The Univerealiste have 956 organizations, 832 church edifices with a smiting capacity of 244,565, church pro- perty to tbe value of $8,054,333 and 49,194 communicants. The Unitarians poesess 421 organizations, 424 church edifices with a seating capacity of 165,090, church property to the veins of $10,335,100 and a member- ship of 67,749. These figures indicate that the Univer- satiate have mealy churches with limited membership and small property value, while the Unitarians have comparatively few churches, which are, however, large and well -fixed, financially. This inference is borne out by the detailed figures. The Universalist is a missionary choreh ; the Unitarian is not, except in a very limited sense. More than half the Unitarians of the country are in Massechusetts. Outside of Maseaohusette them are but four States— New York, California, New Hampshire and Maine—where the Unitarians have more than two thousand members. But the Universalists, whose growth ia the United States has been prat:Molly contemporaneous with that of the Uni. catering, are more widely scattered, de- spite their mailer membership. Thmm are eight States where there are over 2,000 Universaliste. New York leads with 8,526, and Mesiachusetts, Ohio, Main, Illinois, Vermont), Penneylvania and Con- necticut follow in the order naraed. The Universaliets have secured a foothold iu fourteen Southern and border States and the °interims in only eight. Outside of Missouri amt Maryland there are but half a doers Unitarian churches in the South. At; a rule the Universalises are also muck more firmly establishei in the West then the Unitarians Apparently the doctrine of ultimate salvation for all men is reeking more rapid grogrees in the " beck districts" than are the somewhat negative views of the Uniberians.—Rochester Heretic/.

Thence they took the 12.50 train to Hamilton, where they arrived at 3 p. and at once proceeded to the residence of Mr. Evane, a friend of Fred's fe.ndly. lu the meantime Mrs. Thaler became alarmed at Minnie'a absence sad when on comparing notes with the lesarimills she dis- covered that Fred was aleo missing she at once concluded that the pair had gone for a honeymoon. Mr. Bader was down town at the time, and Mr. at nee proceeded in hot haste to the Union tation, where he took the next train for amilbon. He arrived at that suburb bout 5 p. m., when he immediatelyrepaired the Evans mansion.

Butler, "and Fred and Minnie were nwise in trying to hurry a marriage to hick there is no objection later on." Mi8111Minnie, who hied been studying her mons with the aid of a dainty pince-nez birth hung suspended by golden chain om her neck, took a prominent part in e conversation. She told of her engage. mit with Fred and gave many of the tails before reeitee. " I hope you are. It going to put this in. the papers," she eaded. "11 you. do I can never go to hool again." The reporter's hard heart was almost elted by the entreaty of the big, blue eyes, t he stuck strictly to duty and asked if e had any particular parson in view hen they went to Hamilton. "Oh, ," she replied, 'c we were just ing to take any that mune handy. eddie eand I came home with his papa, o read papers all the way and mid thing to me at all. I think you are real an if you put this in the paper, because havenew decided to wait." A visit to Mr. Hammill's was not so pro - Wye of resuel results. Mr. Hamn! was oat church aneetieg and would not be in tilt te. Freddie htmself had gone to hear Dr. Image at Cooke's Church. Mrs. Hemmill, however, was at home. e regarded the whole matter as a bee ish tic on the part of Fred, who had not cow- ered how iiiwould look if he took Minnie th him to Hamilton.
