PREMIER SIR JOHN THOMPSON
The Grits would have us believe that
a Catholic Premier in the person of
Sir John Thompson is' a menace to
Protestantism.
The ,Grits have time and again de-
clared their faith in Catholic Laurier
as a fit and proper person to be Pre-
mier of the Protestant commonwealth.
Hypocrisy and cant is evident in
either one of these professions.
Conservative Orangemen are asked
'by Grit; Protestants how they can
swallow Sir John .Thompson as Pre-
mier.
These same Grits offer any amount
of advice to Orangemen in the like of
kicking because Canada has a Catholic
Premier.
Orangemen do not require any ad-
vice from those who are ignorant of
the teachings of Orangeism.
They cannot understand that Orange -
ism is merely Protestantism.— that
every real Protestant is, virtually an
Orangeman, that both • are ,. Shristians ;
rand that as Christie ies.0y''should not
thrust a man out of.ptbl.ic life for con-
science sake.
Every Orangeman especially, knows
that he is obligated to persecute no
man for conscience sake, and that he
is bound to uphold religious as well as
civil liberty as far as in him lies.
It ..is said that the elevation of Sir
John Thompson is proof of papal
potentialityamounting to absolute
dominancy in affairs of state.
Let us see:
How has it come about that we have
• a Catholic Premier in Canada ?—not
the first by any means.
Sir John Thompson's position has
been accorded him—how ?
Because he is a Catholic ? Not at all.
He has forced his way to the front in
spite of his adherence to a form of
Christian belief at variance with that
f '*.,he majority of the people of this
Derahiatan.
Ji t r Thompson is.not Premier
St CtlAvhE he is a Catholic. He is Pre-
, ariiet• because of his proven ability,
R,„Io'y'i 1ty' and integrity as a statesman.
!Jrhe .ioliief opposition to Sir John
'iliblpol5sbil as Premier of Canada, be-
cause lie is Catholic, comes from those
alio have for years been endeavoring
tvtlace Hon. Mr. Laurier, who is also

didate for the Freinier'ship endeavored •
to set his fellow French Gianadians ext
absolute and deterload oppositioai,to
the Queen's authority. He contended
that'xRiel was right in rebelling against
the authority of the Queen and in
shooting down those deputed to enforce
her authority, Laurier also aggravate
-ed his condonation of treason and
murder by asserting that if he had had.
a musket en the banks of the Saskat-
chewan he would have shot down the
Canadian volunteers who were sent to
preserve order and the lives and pro-
perty of loyal subjects.
Of a faith, Sir John Thompson has
more than ordinary claims upon
Orangemen.
The Grits, and M. C. Cameron among
the number, declared that all those
who. favored the law taking its course
in the Riel affair were murderers,
bloodthirsty orangeistes. And Sir John
Thompson came in for his share of
abuseas an orangeiste. But he man-
fully pursued the course of a fearless
Judge,,holding that Orangemen's dec-
eleration of right did not Vitiate the
right ; nor does Catholic declaration of
right vitiate if simply and only because
it is held by Catholics.
If it is a written or unwritten law in
Canada that a Catholic cannot be Pre-
mier, the fact should have the widest
promulgation.
If a Catholic has equal rights with a
Protestant it should be equally widely
known. We think he has so long as
he proves himself a law-abiding, loyal
subject.
Under the old Puritan laws no pian
could 'be Governor of Massachusetts
"unless he declared himself to be of the
Christian religion." But it wah` repeal-
ed Many years ago.
If the flat should go forth that a
Catholic cannot be Premier of Canada
a state of things would exist here far
more illiberal than in old witch -burn-
ing, superstitious Massachusetts. The
Puritans barred only those who were
not Christians. Some Canadians would
go farther and ostracise Christians,
providing they were Catholic Christi-
ians.
•
MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION.
'• Tn spite of anything said to the con-
trary, Sir John Thompson has given
no pledge in the matter. No matter
what he inay attempt he could never
succeed in convincing the people of
Canada that the people of Manitoba
have not the right to insist on having
one provincial system of schools and
that the public one. The highest court
in the realm has said Manitoba has
this right, and all the pope's priests and
all the pope's men cannot take it from
them.
And the exercise of that right is no
hardship to the minority. It will be a
blessing to them, at least to those
Catholics who will have their children
attend the public schools.
A mixed attendance of Catholic and
Protestant children at public schools
would inevitably result in a better un-
derstand' ap better feeli•ng.--be='
twe'en"them all through life.
No sectarian teaching is or should be
allowed in our publicschools, but the
,
Lord's Prayer, the Sermon on the
Mount and such like embodiments of
the essentials of .Christianity contain
sentiments that Catholic or Protestant
need not be afraid of. It is only hair-
splitting casuists that are afraid of
public schools.
PARTY BEFORE UOUNTRY.
The OntalioFiah and Game Commis.
eioner•'e report exemplifies pretty clearly
how the "party machine" is managed
by the Ontario Government.-- No less
than ten Grit politicians have had their
nose in the trough and been sucking
the Ontario treasury for two years. For
1891 nearly $5.000 were paid while
public interests were sacrificed/ For
1892 the cat will be as much or more.
The object of the Commission was to
have been to furnish agriculturists
with useful information and gain a
knowledge of the natural resources of
this province. Instead of assigning a
specialist for each department none but
politicial partisans, regardless of quali-
fication, were selected to perform the
duties. Of course it has always been
the aim of the powers that be in Ont-
ario to serve party before country.
OD this lido eminent naturalists were
ignored and party hacks performed the
work in the most bungling manner, so
much so that a prominent member of
the Canadian Institute gives his opin-
ion in this fashion :
"It is a disgrace to Ontario. Men
utterly Incompetent were given the
work. They had not the slightest idea
of what was required of them. There is
nothing of any vrlue in the report with
the exception of Prof. Ramsay Wright's
coutribution on fish. Why, sir, the com-
missioners were actually ignorant of the
name of Sir John Richardson 1 Time
and money have been wasted, and the
worst of it all is that it has stopped all
serious work for 10 years. What do a
lot of Toronto sports know about natur-
al history ? and they were the principal
witnesses called. What could be learn•
ed from them? The report is worth
nothing. It is a diegrace to Ontario."
While an eminent naturalist giyes
this opinion :
"A more incompetent piece of work
was never offered the public. The
illustrations of the birds and mammals
are, with one or two exceptions, atria,.
cious, having been taken, it seems from
wretchedly stuffed speoimens,Iwhille the
accompanying letterpress is of a similar
grade. I honorably except the section
on fish contributed by Prof. Ramsay
Wright, in which instance alone was the

proper plan followed of giving each
special department to a specialist. [
cannot understand why some of the
prominent naturalists of the province
were not put on that commiesion. For
instance, Dr Brodie, Thomas Moll -
wraith, W. P. Lett, of Ottawa, and W.
E. Saunders, of London, are men who
have devoted years to the study of
natural history, and it would be inters
est;ng to know why they were passed
over and the work placed in inexperi-
enced hands."
IIOUSE OF REFUGE.
The Conference hold on Friday last
.in the council chamber hole was both
useful sad successful. The attendance
was not as large as was hoped for no
doubt owing to the bad roads, but the
proceedings were of en exeeediugly iu•
teresting character and iu the afternoon
were listened to by large numbers from
the, surrounding country. Amongst
those present were : Meyers Holme
eted, Seaforth ; Butler, Goderich; Doh•
arty. Clinton. Reavis Proudfoot,
Godericb; Bawden, Exeter; I-Ianna,
'Vinghatn; Manning, Clinton; Britton,

clerk; Chas. Seeger, Councillor Snell,
A. McMurchie, D. A. Forrester, R
Irwin, S. G. Plummer, S•. J. Andrews,
W. Crooks, J. W. Yeo and many
others.
The Godericb, Winghnm, Soaforth
and Cliuton newspapers were also re-
presented.
Mr. Proudfoot, Reeve of Goder•ieh, I
was voted to the chair. Letters were
read from a number of absent Reeves
regretting their inability to be present
and making various suggestions.
The question of "caring for the
poor" and the erection of a "House of
Refuge" were fully diecuesed.. The
discussion was a fre_,e__eatsi;__eiisy a
Mier opposed to a House of Refuge,
being allowed as free scope as those in
favor. One desire seemed,. to- be tint --
verso' and that was that the very full,
est information should be given to the
electors on the whole question. As a
result of the discussion the various eug-
gostione were embodied in a resolution
moved by Mayor Holmested and re-
ferred to a committee composed of
Messrs. McLean, Proudfoot and Man-
ning.
The committee reported in the after-
noon recommending the preparation of
a concise statement showing the coat to
the county of maintainiug the poor
under the present system, the probable
cost were a House of Refuge erected,
the cost of a House of Refuge includ
ing lands and buildings and the moral
and humanereaeous for a change. This
statement will be scattered broadcast by
sending 30 copies to each school teach-
er far his section and also sending
copies to the reeves, deputy•reeves,
clerks and ministers. To prepare this
statement a committee composed of
Messrs. Dr. Holmes, Proudfoot and
Manning were appointed.
Many excellent speeches were made
during the day but it would be will-
ingly conceded that Dr. Holmes' was
the moat important. As county treasur-
er he is in possession of all the figures
and he showed that the county pays
directly over $3,000 for the care of the
poor. The local municipalities pay
about $6,000, a largepart of which
would be undoubtedly saved.
From the Government returns show
ing the cost of other similar institu-
tions there can be no doubt that a
county grant of $12,000 and the Gov-
ernment grant of $4,000 would be
amply sufficient to provide lands and
buildings and equip the same.
