Grand Orange Lodge of Ontario West. t*RAND MASTER J. L. HUGHES' ADDRESS IN FULL. A STRONG EQUAL RIGHTER, HE PLEADS FOR JUSTICE ON THE MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION. The Grand Lodge was opened at London at 2.30 o'clock on Tuesday by Grand Master J. L. Hughes, of Toronto, who delivered his annual address: GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. To the officers and members of the RightWorshipful Grand Orange Lodge of Ontario West :- I sincerely regret that the Manitoba school question, which formed the sub- ject of my address a year ago, is still unsettled. I regard it as a national misfortune that this question should so long continue to be a source: of discord. All true Orangemen sincerely desire to promote the unity of the people of Canada, and they must deplore the in- troduction of sectarian issues which destroy national harmony, and prevent the hearty co-operation that should be the distinguishing characteristic of Canadians of all clashes and creeds. There appears to be no good reason why this question should have ever been forced upon the people of the Domiuion outside of the Province of Manitoba. I am of opinion that the Legislature which passed the law that caused a grievance to the minority should have tried to find a reasonable remedy for the grievance when its existence was pointed out by the Privy l.,onncil of England, the highest court of appeal in the Empire. The refusal of the Manitoba Legislature to provide a. remedy has forced the question on theattention of the people of the whole Dominion; and the most unfortunate feature of the case is the fact that in the discussion of the question passion and prejudice have been appealed to more frequently than reason and jus- tice. If any body of men should take a. calm, dispassionate view of this and similar questions, that body is the great organization to which we belong, and whose interests we have gathered together to promote. We justly claim that we exist as an institution for the purpose of promoting civil and relig- ious liberty, and we should therefore he ever on our guard lest, we be betray- ed by our feelings into acts towards which we would properly regard ata tyrannical if perforined agatiust our- selves. We should never forget that freedom is as dear to Roman Catholics as to Protestants, and that tyranny is as odious in Protestants as in Rornan Catholics. A brief statement of the crit cumstan- ees that made it necessary for the lase to he dealt, with by the I)oininior, I'ar•- liament will aid us in arriving at. it wise conclusion in regard to the question and to our duty under the unhappy circumstances that threaten even the peace of our beloved country. 1. When the fathers of (Confedera- tion were engaged in the patriotic task osit f framing the cBritish the 1 c tttatstatr s Ls c f Quebec, ledhy Sir William Dawson and other dis- tinguished men, strenuously objected to the pi uposal that education should be placed fully under the control of Provincial Legislatures. The ohjeel ion was made by Protestants on behalf of the Protestant minority of Quebec. it is presumptuous for irresponsible out- siders to say that the schools of the Protestant 'minority in Quebec are in no danger, when the Protestants who resided in Quebec, and who were ,it the time of Confederation the guard- ians and managers of these schools, and therefore realized perfectly the exact relationship between these schools and the Quebec Legislature, insisted that the supreme control in .educational affairs should he exercised by the Dominion. 2. The clause of the British North America Act (Sec. 93, clause 3), provid- ing for the right of appeal by minorit- ies, either Protestant or Roman Catho- lic, from Local Legislatures to the Do- minion Parliament, was written hy Sir A. T. Galt, the representative of the Protestant minority of Quebec, on be- half of Protestants. Sir William Daw- son, writing only last week, said : "I assure) you that we would have felt it altogether unsafe to go Into Confeder- ation without the guarantees given to us, and that we jealously watch these from year to year, and, in some direc- tions, would like to see them enlarg- ed."' 3 For nearly twenty years the Ro- man Ca olics of Manitoba were en- eournged by the law of the Province to establish Sejiarate schools. 4. In 1800 the Manitoba Legislature passed a law, of which we as Orange- men heartily approve, doing away with Separate Schools. 5. This law was regarded as a gtlev- ance by Roman Catholics, and on au ap- peal to the courts the Privy Council de- cided that the Roman Catholic minor- ity of Manitoba had a grievance, under the British North America, Act, and the Manitoba Act of 1870, by which Manitoba was admitted to the Domin- ion. 0. The Legislature that caused the grievance Is the proper authority by which the grievance should be remed- ied. its act did the wrong to the min- ority, and it is therefore morally, as well as constitutionally, responsible for the undoing of the wrong. 7. The decision of the Privy Couucil by the established order of procedure is not sent direct to the Local Legisla- tuile, but through the Dominion Gov- er nment. 8. The Dominion Government for- warded the decision of the Privy Coun- cil to the Government of Manitoba, and asked the Legislature of Manitoba to remedy the grievance it had caused. 9. The Government of Manitoba re- fused to carry out the decision of the Privy Council, and suggested a Coin- inission of Enquiry. Sir. Williams, Dawson very properly characterizes the position of the Legislature of Mani- toba as "morally untenable." Manito- ba created the grievance, and it was clearly the duty of Manitoba to remove the grievance. The Manitoba Govern- ment simply ignored the decision of the Privy Council, and said the minor- ity had no grievance. 10. The Dominion] Government re- plied, urging the Legislature of Mani- toba to accept the responsibility right- ly given to it by the Constitution, of undoing the wrong it had done, and intimating that unless justice was done by the Legislature of Manitoba the Dominion Parliament would be asked to provide a remedy and remove the grievance, whose existence had been so definitely recognized by the Privy Council. 11. The Manitoba Government again declined to act. This made it imperative that the Parliament of Canada should provide it remedy, or leave a minority in one of the Provinces of the Dominion without it remedy for a grievance established on the authority of the highest court in the realm. If the grievance exists, loyal and liberal Canadians dare not ask what minority is aggrieved. Protest- ant and Roman Catholic rights must be sacredly respected by both Protest- ants and Roman Catholics. Prot- estants, and especially Orangemen, should demand equal rights. Sir William Dawson says : "Hitherto, when any grievance has occurred we have found it possible to obtain redress from our own local authorities." Should Protestant Manitoba be more illiberal than Roman Catholic Quebec? We are told on the authority of Sir William Dawson, the leading Prot- estant educator of Quebec, both in university and public school affairs, during the last, forty years, that the Protestants in Quebec have had their grievances remedied by the Roman Catholic Legislature of Quebec with- out the necessity of appeal to the Dominion Parliament. It is surely discreditable to Protestantism that a Protestant Legislature should be the first to refuse to do simple justice to it minority by carrying out a part of the British Nor th America Act, the founda- tion on which our Dominion was con- stituted, which was written by a Prot- estant to protect Protestants. It is impossible to justify non-inter- erence by the Dominion Parliament in Manitoba, and justify the right of in- terference in Quebee, without violating the essential principles of equity. Roman Catholics should never he grantees special privileges that are de- nied to Protestants ; but it is equally subversive of true freedom to refuse to Roman Catholics the constitutional rights inccorded to Protestants. We, as Orangemen, are opposed to Separate schools, and are hound to do all we can, constitutionally, to free our country froni them ; but we are al- so unalterably opposed to tyranny. We weaken our influence in favor of liberty if we allow our prejudices to blind us. 1t is a pitiable thing to see a body of ]nen bearing the banner of free- dom, and using the weapons of despot- ism. i earnestly urge all Or angemen to stand for "Equal Rights." and to de- cide that the Rornan Catholics of Man- itoba should receive exactly the same trerttrnent that should he accor.led to PtWestin' ts under similar circritnstan- Ce'a. 1 sincerely believe that the highest. )tiro of every roan who has the best in- terests of the Dominion at heart should be to have this question settled in a manner honorable to the majority in Manitoba and just, to the minority. It is not atall necessar y to re-estahl ish Sep- arate schools as they existed before 181). The (soverninent. of Manitoba should retain control of all schools in the Produce, and it, should insist o1. it uniform standard of teachers' examin- ations, on rhe power to prohibit. the use of text -hooks of which it (Iisap proves, rind on the inspection of all schools by inspectors appointed in con- formity with the general school law of the Province. Perfect, justice luny be done to the Roman (lut.hol10 ini0ori t.y without, giving to Roman Catholics as Roman (:atnolics the right of levying and collecting taxes. in cities and towns the "Poughkeepsie plan" adopt- ed in 1lalifax, Nova, Scot la ; St. ,John, New B.ui nswick ; and Windsor, Ontar- io, would give Roman Catholics as much local control of their own schools as they should desire, and would still preserve the national system of educa- tion from disruption, and avoid the error of placing public money at the disposal of any church organization, Protestant or Roman Catholic. This system afterfair trial gives setisfaction to hath Protestants and Roman Catho- lies in Halifax, St. John and Windsor. 1 t is therefore r easonable to suppose that it would give general satisfaction in Manitoba. If adopted this would set- tle the vexed question in cities and towns. The same system may he ap- plied in the rural districts by the adop- tion of the Massachusetts plan for the consolidation of rural schools by which about, twelve rural schools are consoli- dated into one school district under one Board of Trustees. It has been found by experience in Massachusetts that one school of eight rooms built in the centre of such a district, will fully accotnrnodate the pupils from twelve ordinary school sections. The money thus save,d in salaries for teachers and in school sites, school buildings. care- takers, allowances, etc., fully pays for transporting the children from the lim- its of the district to the school at the centre in large covered vehicles. The plan has many adeantage'. ac Among thein are the following;--- 1. A well graded eebodl is substituted for twele ungraded schools. 2. Teachers can do more successful work. 3. Pupils attend school more regular- ly. 4. Even little children are safer on their way to and from school than in ordinary rural school districts. 5. Country children lose tbeir awk- wardness and self-consciousness, 0. More and better apparatus can be provided. as only one set of each kind required has to be bought iustead of twelve sets. 7. All the newer departments of edu- cational work can be introduced more easily into one good school than into twelve schools. 8. The moral training of the drive to and from school is excellent. A boy must respect the rights of others or walk, The system has given unbounded satisfaction in Massachusetts, and I am persuaded that in Manitoba it would not only have the advantages specified above, hut the greater a vantage of making it possible to adop a Pough- keepsie plan in rural districts. It would not only protect the rights of Roman Catholics in Protestant dis- tricts, but the rights of Protestants in districts in which Roman Catholics are in the majority, There are outer ways in which the Legislature of Manitoba may remove the grievance of the minority without sacrificing the school. system which it adopted in 1890; and I think this R. W. Grand Lodge should express the hope that Manitoba may remove the grievence of its minority as the Pro- vince of Quebec has dune, without making it necessary for the Dominion Parliament to interfere in local educa- tional affairs. Such a course would most quickly restore harmony throughout the Dominion. if the Mani toha Government wishes to appoint a commission to aid it in arriving at it just decision in regard to the course that should be pursued there is no rea- son why it should not do so. IMPERIAL INTERESTS. At the centre of our great Empire, the development of events during the past year has been most satisfactory to Orangemen. The British I'ar•lianaent is no longer dominated hy a faction in fayor of Horne Rule for Ireland. The tecent elections have given a Unionist majority in the House of Comtnons so large as to remove Horne Rule front practical politics for years, if not for ever, It is equally cheering to note that the Rt. Hon. Joseph' Chamberlain, Sec- retary of State for the Colonies, has al- ready given practical evidence of his intention to bring about closer trade relations between the Mother Country and the colonies, and to promote Im- perial unity under the British flag in all parts of the world. I think it desirable that this R. W. Grand Lodge should express its high appreciation of the unity of sentiment in favor of peace between the British Empire and the United States, that was nianifasted by the great body of the people of both countries during the recent trouble in regard to the Venez- uelan boundary. V4 e should also ap- prove, in the heartiest possible way, of the resolution passed by the Dominion Parliament, assuring the members of Her Majesty's Government in England of the devotion of her Canadian sub- jects, and of their willingness to share the responsibilities of the Mother Land and the other colonies of the Empire in case of war. A HEAVY MORTCACE. How a prominent farmer quickly lifted It. A mortgage has been described as an incentive to industry, a heavy mortgage, as a sure sign of ruin. The last is particu- larly true, for if a mortgage is allowed to ran it will eat up the farm. In this con- nection Mr. Henry Fowler, of Huron writes : " From my boyhood scrofula had marked me for a victim and it seemed as if it had a life mortgage on my blood. I suffered fearfully with sores, and know- ing my condition 1 have remained a single man. Doctor after doctor prescribed for me, and finally a Toronto specialist told me bluntly that my complaint was a deep-seated, incurable, blood disease. Sarsaparilla I knew was a good blood medicine, and I sent for a bottle of the best. Mr. Todd, the druggist, sent me Scott's Sarsaparilla, and I have stuck to it. It has lifted my mortgage, for to -day I am free from those horrible sores, my eyesight is not blurred, my tongue is not furry, and I have no irritation. I look upon Scott's Sarsaparilla as a marvellous medicine when it will cure a life long disease in so short a time." Scrofula, pimples, running sores, rheu- matism and all diseases generated by poisonous humors in the blood are cured by Scott's Sarsaparilla. The kind that cures.

A Special Feature Adopted in Their Business. You TurstinglyAsk For Paine's Celery Compound. The Dealer Often Gives You a Common Substitute, As the sun rises in the east to brighten and enliven the day, so the mighty fame of Paine's Celery Compound spreads from day to day, giving com- fort and gladness to all weary, sick and diseased people. All popular and fast selling articles are imitated from time to time. Li- quid preparations, using the name of "Celery Compound," are on the mark- et, and are often dishonestly foisted nn the unsuspecting customer, who asks for nature's great healer, Paine's Cel- ery Compound. There are, unfottunately, too many dealers who work this miserable decep- tion, actuated by a greedy desire for large profits. The imitations and worthless medicines pay such immense profits, that Paine's Celery Compound is held in the background, simply be- cause it pays a small profit. It is positively cruel to thus deceive the trustful and confiding customer. The sick and suffering who ask for Paine's Celery Compound, knowing it to he the best, and their only hope of cure, should.never be treated in such a heartless manner. If every intending purchaser of Paine's Celery Compound but examine the bottle and outer cartoon, he or she will certainly avoid deception. The genuine Paine's Celery Compound, "the kind that cures," has the "stalk of celery," and the name "Paine's"; all others are frauds and deceptions. While the late Hart A. Massey was alive he was included in that class of citizens whom the Reform press unre- servedly sat down as robbers.

VISCOUNT DE FRONSAC'S VIEWS. In a letter to the Boston 'Evening Transcript' Viscount Forsyth de Fron- satc, member of the Cc uncil of the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada, and at resident of Moutreal, ex- presses himself in this patriotic style :- If you will permit 'fair play' in your columns, I would like to give contrary evidence to your correspondent in his 'Re -adjusted Europe' letter of Saturday, February 8th, in which among many miscalculations he imagines that Eng- land will give 'Canada in exchange for an alliance with the United States.' In the first place, it is against the policy of Britain to give territory for a mere alliance. No British territory has ever been yielded without a fight, as the Yankees know from their 1770.83 experience, and it was only yielded then because France, Spain, and Hol- land, together with the League of the North, joined against England, and Russia stinted up the insurrection of Hyder Ali in British India. Britain then gave up part of her American territory and turned on her enemies. She stripped France, Spain, and Holland of most of their colonies, ruined their navies, and locked Itussia up in frozen seas, from which she has not yet escaped. The same calami- ties will befall any power, should any power offer to disrneruber the British Empire. No statesman 111 England will ever be bold enough to offer Canada in exchange for an American alliance --Canada, the most loyal of the British dominions, the keystone arch, as it has been call- ed, between England and India. Be- sides, Canadians have it government and a policy of their own, which must he reckoned with. If the declaration of the Canadian Parliament in regard to the United States interference is not enough to open the eyes of the stupid annexationists in this country, let me tell who the Canadians are. They are not the riff-raff of Europe for the riffraff come to the United States. They are the descendants of the French nobility, officers and soldiers and hon- est pioneers and their families of the French epoch ; the descendants of the 38,'11X) United Empire Loyalists and the flower of the American people of the epoch of 1776.83; the descendants of the families of officers and soldiers of the British army dis- banded on Canadian soil, and the families of sturdy Scotch, Irish, English, and Welsh yeomanry -all full of the traditions of glory and majesty of the British Empire, of the flag that has breasted the battle and the breeze ;or a thousand years, of Old World idents of honor and chivalry.

Through sudden snow storms and excessive rains any road may he made impassable for the time being. Bridges may he swept away, and roads cut, into deep ruts, or piled deep with snow, and made dangerous for traffic and impassable, hut municipalities are not responsible for this any further than through a clear neglect of statutory duties 1ni case of snow storms, the statutes provide that pathmasters should clear out, snow drifts, and use reasonable ef- forts to keep th e is rads passable.
