POLITICS AND PARTY HEELERS.
Mn•jor Salo 11iighe,, M. P., who is ap-
posed to 1he remedial hill nos' before
,parliament, speaks of the extreme
me'tsures being resorted to by "fakirs
and heelers of no standing," and de-
clares that "t hey are the to eatures of a
few designing, evifish schemers." Writ-
ing to his paper, the Lindsay Warder,
Mr. Hughes soya:-
"Certain political heeler; to Toronto and
Ottawa are making themselves very busy writ-
ing letters for electors in the various ridings to
wiSte to their representatives in parliament
urging support to this or that side of the Mani-
toba School Question. It transpires that a
5yetematieplan has been carried out by two rings
of fakirs. one threatening d ire destruction in case
the vote be cast for the hill. and tho other seek•

THS S01100.1, QURSTI .
On Tuesday of last week the anxious-
ly looked for debate on the second
reading of the Bill granting relief to
the Manitoba minority commenced.
Sir Charles Tupper, Bart., opened the
the debate and made a moat able deliv•
erance, of whi )h the Railton Spectator
says :--
"Sir Charles ['upper's speech was a capital one
from the standpoint of one who is in favor of
remedial legislation. He reviewed the history
of the country and dwelt upon the constitu-
tional ueuessity of the legislation. He held that
there was no coercion in the hill, inasmuch as 11
allowed the Manitoba people control of the
schools."
Mt'. Laurier followed and placed lriin-
self on record as facing in every direc-
tion as of yore, Of his deliverance the
stone authority says :--
"Mr. Laurier made an extraordinary speech.
The bulk of what he said was In favor of 'In-
vestigation
ln-
vuallgutnand conciliation' wht o
that may
be. But lie put in is spoke for himself in Quebec
by declaring that he opposed the bill on the
ground that it was not strong enough, and
would not satisfactorily remedy the grievance
of the Manitoba minority; and he put iu an-
other spoke for himself in Ontario when he de-
clared himself to be entirely free from church
influence in this matter. He made it quite clear
that lie would not obey the dictates of the
hierarchy in this matter, and won as much ap-
plause from thep British members as ho did fromthent
Wrench members when he declared the
remedial bill to bo too weak. Mr. Laurier
finished by moving the six months' hoist."
N. Clarke Wallace followed in oppo-
sition to the Bill in general terms.
The debate was continued from day to
day until Friday and was again to be
resuurned yesterday. At time of writ-
ing it is impossible to intelligently
forecast the possible result. The Liber-
als and Conservatives are divided on
both sides of the House ; some on both
sides in opposition -some on both sides
in favor of the Bill. New and compli-
cated features will naturally come up
before and after the Bill goes to Com-
mitte. These possible new features are
already cowling to the surface, and one
of them was given by an Ottawa cor-
respondent last Friday as follows :-
'•Two elements will be divided before many
days, so that the public will be able to see clear -
1y where the House stands upon the matter,
The proposition to bring the question Of Na-
ttonal schools as against sectarian schools to a
vote comes front Major Samuel Hughes, the
member for North Victoria. Hie views are em-
bodied in a resolution which he will probably
move on Tuesday in amendment to Mr. Laurier s
ambiguous amendment. Notice was given of it
tonight, and it is as follows:—
"That an humble address be presented to her
Majesty the Queen praying that she may be
Pleased to take such measures as will lead to
the repeal sec. 93 of the B.N.A. Act, 1867, and of
section 22of the Manitoba Act of 1890, and in-
stead lead to the enactment of the following :-
In and for the Dominion of Canada there shall
be ono system of National education, embracing
(tithe intellectual branches, including mathe-
matics, history, geography, English and other
languages, literature, the arts and the sciences;
(2) the principles of morality ; and (3) political
and sanitary science. But in and for each pro-
vince the Legislature may exclusively make
laws in relation to the same, subject to the fol-
lowing provisions : Religious instruction shall
not officially form part of the national educa-
tion but nothing in this Act shall prevent those
legally controlling school buildings and prom-
ises front granting the use thereof for religious
purposes of any and every religious faith after
the conclusion of the educational exercises of
the day."
"The advocates of National schools look for
encouragement front the Liberal leader. His
position, as explained in Ontario, is that if the
schools of Manitoba aro sectarian, then the
Catholics arc sutrod ng from an injustice, but if
they are non-sectarian or National, there.is no
grievance to remove. If this is a fair presenta-
tion of his Views, he may sen his way clear to
support Major Hughes' motion, particularly as
a vote for it is a vote against the Remedial bill.
At all events Parliament, has now to consider
the proposition to nobody the principle of Na-
tional schools in the constitution for all the
provinces. The idea cannot, of course, take
effect until it commends itself to the Imperial
Parliament, but in the meantime the amend-
ment, if carried, will effectually dispose of the
Itemedial bill, There is, 1t6wever, no more
likelihood that it will carry than that the Goer
tics programme of Mr. Laurier will be accepted,
but it will at least serve to clear the atmosphere.
What gives point to Major Hughes' motion is
the shape the debate took to -day. The speech
of Mr. Monericlf, like that of Mr. Ives, yester-
day, was an appeal for the Protestants of Que-
bec. He pointed nut thatif the constitutional
guarantees of the Manitoba minority are dis-
regarded it will be impossible to enforce the
guarantees of tine educational liberties of the
Protestants of the Province of Quebec. Mr.
Monerit;tfasked thou.' who are opposin• the pres-
ent bill if they would support 0 remedial inoas-
11re ',buaki 'ver eireumst.ttnces emu pet the
Quebec 1'rotestu,ts to ask for Federal relief 1
To this 1)r. Sproule replied in the negative. in
his opinion, therefore, the 1'rote.stnnt.sof Quebec
and the Catholics s of ?.Manitoba have nn guaran-
tees of their 'dneatiunal privileges ao-mired
vino' Confederation. it will beargued that in
this view of the ease the present state of atrairs
leaves the ,lour open to all sorts of trouble. To
at Did this, two m1rt11ori9 are offered. Some
would .wt'le all douh(s as to t1, pnsitinn of the
Quebec Protestants by 'onstruing the con-
stitution to guarantee the rights of t he Manitoba
Catholics, and others would settle doubts by
altering the roust it ration to as to make National
schools the general rule. Those who are d'-
tormined to keep the question ()pen for party
pontos), will oppose both these propositions,,.
THE ,STAV'ELY ESTA7E MONEY.
We •ire pleases} to notice that the
people of (%Iint.nn are becoming deeply
interested in the disposal of the $10,000
of the Stavely estate money promised
by the Ontario Government, through
Mr. °ar•r•nty, to the town of Clinton.
The quest inn as to whether the mon-
ey would come was Iefore our citizens
for a Ione tint•. A reminittee was
long sin r appointed and 1ve believe
harked arduously and faithfully to se-
cure the 1ec'ognition of nor ju-t rights
and their labor'tr:aolt.ed in the remits]
of a promise of $10,((8) fur the toren
The original Conine tee, for some cause
unknown to the public, has been
reconstructed by I he Mayor, and
the first n'w government meet-
ing was held on Monday evening.
It is not our purpose to find
fault, lint it is the purpose of Tritt
NE1v:,-1251'0RD to represent. the general
public. -At the meeting on Monday
evening the minutes of the defunct,
committee were not read and nothing
definite beyond their decision n.9
to what had or had no ttran-
spired was placed before the re-
presentatives of the people. Neither
reports, recommendations, correspond-
ence, or official doc•unlerts were pieced
on the table.
Tug NEWS-FtEc'onn hold,/ that this
matter of $10,0(X) is is !MIM,/loss proceed-
ing and I hitt the public should be in•
formed of what is going on. The
Ontario Goverment represents -or at
least is supposed to represent by the
voice of the electors -THE WHOLE rlfo-
PLR, and this is why we talk plainly.
Now, ALL the work and records of
the previous Corurnittee and corres-
pondence should he given to the Com-
mittee at present in charge. They can-
not proceed intelligently without
knowing exactly what has or has not,
been done.
It would appear that the new Com-
mittee had been appointed simply to
affirm what the previous Committee
bad accomplished; op do nothing at a11.
This; to say^ the least, isnot bnelnee8.
There has been many suggestions as
to the proper disposal of the $14,000.
Those In authority favor a public lib-
rary. In England. we believe the cus-
tom prevails to devote such acquired
money to whatever was iu accordance
with the wishes of deceased persons
while in life. If this were carried out
a public library would out be estahlish-
ed in tli-Is case. In Clinton nine out of
ten people, we believe, vrould nut re-
ceive a direct benefit.
All the suggestions so far made are
commendable, but the nue made yes-
terday by Mr, James Fair, a member
of the present Committee, should have
great weight. It is that, three Ward
Schools be ereeted - one each, in St. An-
drews, St. ,John's and St. George's
Wards. The time is uutf,u• distant when
the Town must provide theta and these
would certainly tweet with the require-
ments of the Government, and there is
sufficient money to build them.
The Committee will meet again on
Friday night, It is expected that by
that time they will know whether a
portion of the money can be applied to
a public park, and the whole subject
will be discussed again. Once the
Committee conies to a decision we
would respectfully suggest that a pub-
lic meeting he called to ratify or dis-
approve the report.: I•�tthis is not sat-
isfactory let the'wht") electorate vote
by ballot on two propositions. The
money belongs to the; people and the
people should ultimately have a voice
as to how it shall be expended.
7'1IE COUNTRY'S REVENUE.
The revenue for the past mcntll
shows the gratifying increase of $800,-
000, compared with February, 1895. A
quarter of a million of this is due to
customs and $5'),000 to excise. The
total revenue for the eight months of
the year is exactly two millions ahead
of the sante period last year, while the
expenditure is one million less, a net
increase of three millions in the eight
months. Correspondingly, the expen-
diture on capital account has decreased
$1330,000, less than for the same period
last year. The net debt in February
decreased $970,000.
CURRENT TOPICS.
Major Sam Hughes' ltntendment is
in the proper direction.
Greenway has telegraphed Sir Don_
ald Smith that he is willing to meet
the Dominion Government in confer-
ence on the School Question and after
the second reading he will go to Otta-
wa and confer.
L'Electeur, Mr. Laurier's organ in
Quebec, declares :-"The Liberal party
says to the episcopate :-'We do not
believe in the efficiency of the method
proposed for the settlement of the
question. We will adopt another pro-
cedure, and we will guarantee to gain
-your cause.'" If, as the Globe per-
sists in saying, the Liberal party 1s not
divided on the school question, it
should also guarantee the cause of the
episcopate.
Tho economical Mowatites who are
all the time hoastiug about the business
methods`which they allege themselves
to pursue, still crintinue to buy their
provisions for public institutions, with-
out, except in the case of one or two
items, calling for tenders. Last year
in Brantford, according to the Courier,
the value of groceries purchased for
the Institution for the Blind, totalled
$2,932.83, and of this suer four Reform
firms secured $2,215.07, and one Con-
servative firm .$'17.78. Surely in the
case of such frig outlays as this, ten-
ders should be asked, instead of distrib-
uting the orders among party friends.
By the Montreal Gazzette thefollow-
ingpertinent question is asked : "Mr.
Dalton ',McCarthy, ultra -Protestant and
(tpp0000t of the official (190 of the
French language, and 4Ir. Clarke Wal-
lace, Grand blaster of the Orangemen
of British America ; rind Mr. Laurier,
itornan Catholic and French Canadian,
and Mr. 'rapt e, Ohureh and race cham-
pion, of Quebec, are together on the plat-
form in opposition to theConservative
Government and the Manitoba Remed-
ial hill. When they defeat, the Govern-
ment, if they defeat it, how will they
';ett.le their future policy as to the griev-
ances the Roman OaLhulic5 and French-
Canadians orge against, Mrinit obit's
school legislation ?" The corn hinet ion 18

Editor News -Record.
Sr It, -1 notice by THE NEWS -RECORD
that Clinton is to receive $10,000 of
the Stavely estate money. I presume
it is our just right to have it
or we would not get it. Such
being the case, the people should have
a say as to how it should be expended.
Myself and very many of the people of
Clinton favor an opera house in addit-
ion to the library, &c. The several
features might be combined withont
much extra expense. An opera house
is sadly lacking in Clinton. It could be
utilized -where the town hall is not
now at all used -by the various town
church organizations and the high-
class troupes that always pass Clinton,
The revenue would be an important
feature. That the money must he
applied to a library and nothing else I
do not agree, and 1 have the words of
those who know to substantiate my
contention. My idea would he to give
THE PEOPLE OF CLINTON what they
want and at the same time satisfy the
Government. Yours,

DEAR SIR, -Hays you forgotten that
the New Era most solemnly declared a
year or two ago that no writer would
he admitted to his columns who did
not give his genuine{name to thepublic?
The cause of this declaration, as you
must know, was the wilful slandering
and liheling of Messrs. I). B. Kennedy
and D. Cantelon, two highly respected
citizens of Clinton. But the editor, I
am sorry to say, has belied himself.
Time and again since that time he has
allowed anonymous writers to appear
in the New Erre, the latest being Mr.
Blank on the price of wheat. Mr.
John Ransford, I notice, takes up the
cudgels and v ill prove well able to
take care of h,s midnight o )portent.
But there is this o,ie point he has over-
looked. He should compel the Era to
give the name of his opponent or waste-
basket the anonymous productions, or
deal with the discussion himself. This
would only he what 1 would call honest.

Some Siimmestions.
Editor Verot-Record ,
SIR,—Kindly allow me space in your
columns to suggest Lo wry fellow towns-
men an idea for the improvement of
our beautiful burg, Clinton has the
advantages given by fresh and pure Mr'
turd possesses wide and shady streets
with plertsant, and extensive views on
all sides but lacks the attt i •tion given
by a body of water, even Steep's and
Fair's ponds ere it relief to the eye.
When we see utir defiencies we should
as sensible livings set about, finding a
remedy and 1 venture to suggest to my
fellow citizens, a number of whom I
have no dnuhl, will agree with roe, a
phtn for securing all the advantnges we
now lack and giving ns a clean, shallow
boating rued ntlt.htng pond or hake,
which would he of edvatrtage not only
to ourselves hat for'ni an attract ion to
the numerous picnic parties who sur-
mount all the worries and difficulties
attended on a journey to Lake Huron,
tote often only to find the same in such
an angry mood that hosting, etc. can -
net he safely indulged in. At the in-
tersection of our river and King street
a darn could be built which would give
about three to four feet of writer up to
the London Road bridge end give a
lake surrounded by such a site for
fleasure gr'ounde as can he equalled by
ew other localities. The constant flow
of the river would keep it clean and
sweet and revenue could he had from
letting of boats, fees for privileges for
supplying refreshments, etc., whilst we
could always be sure of offering a place
where boating could he indulged in
safely,
combined with the advantages
whichits proxmity to our town affords.
I think the idea worth discussing and
ap it'has a promise of practical advan-
tages would ask you to give a little
specie to getting the ideas of the towns-
men on the subject.
Respectfully yours,
