THE GRITS AND MANI7OBA
TCHOOLS.
THE News -RECORD bas. repeatedly
warned Conservatives not to be
led into a trap to desert the only and
true Canadian party. In some instan-
ces it would appear that the Warning
has not been heeded. Again we re-
peat the warning. Mr. Laurier, Sir
Richard Cartwright, Sir Oliver Mowat
and their party are prepared to accede
all the demands the hierarchy may
make. The utterances of the leaders
and members of the Liberal party go
to prove this beyond a doubt. In or-
der to prove this broad statement we
give the official statements of a num-
her of these gentlemen from Hansard,
revised and approved by themselves:—
Mr. Laurier, April 8, 1896, Hansard.
5785—God help my poor fellow -country
men and co -religionists of Manitoba if
all the help they are going to have is
what the hon. gentleman and his fol-
lowers are prepared to give them. I
Mpit y my poor fellow countrymen of
anitoba or anywhere else if they
expect any justice from the hon. gen-
tleman.
Mr. Devlin—I know what the policy
of the leader of the Opposition is. I
know that in his yeins there courses
trite and noble blood, and 1 know that
there is not to -day in the whole Do-
minion of Canadri a man who holds
dearer the interests of the grand
French Canadian race than the Hon.
Wilfred Lausier. Sir, he has never
spoken one word in this House against
doing full and adequate justice to the
minority of Manitoba--ueyer.
Mr. Laurier, April 14, Hansard, 6370
—When the Manitoba act was consid-
ered in this House of Commons, it is a
matter of history that the intention of
the legislature was to put the Roman
Catholic minority in Manitoba on ex•
actly the same footing as the Roman
Catholic minority in Ontario and the
Protestant minority in Quebec, that is
to say, that their separa te schoolewc uld
he beyond the reach of the legislature
of Manitoba, that they would be in
such a position that the legislature of
Manitoba could no more touch their
schools than the legislature of On-
tario could touch the separate schools
of thatrovince, or than the legisla-
ture of Quebec could touch the separ-
ate schools in that Province.
Mr. Laurier, March 3rd, Hansard,
2756—What is before the House? A
half hearted and faint measure.
Mr. Laurier,Mar•ch 3,1896—
A measure of compromise and noth-
ing else.
It is a compromise which is to be ad-
ministered by a hostile government.
Mr. Geoffrion—I am just as anxious
as hon. gentlemen opposite are that
justice should he rendered, and that
our csnstitutiou should be respected.
But I most emphatically say that this
Bill, which I have now before me, does
not render justice, and I ani most de-
cidedly in favor of voting the six
months' hoist, because the acceptance
of such a Bill would be a delusion and
a denial of justice. It has the label of
a Remedial Act, but I do not see the
remedy. . . As this Bill, if passed,
will, in my opinion, exhaust, the re-
uiedi;il legislation which is 10 lie intro-
duced pursuant to the order adopted
by the Government, it will have
the Catholics of Manitoba in a
worse pnsit.i in than they would occupy
if this Bill did not pass.
Mr. Geoffrion, March 4, 1806 - i stat-
ed at Vereheres before the electors, as
I state here, that my feelings are in
favor of iemedial legislation ; t hat I
am ever ready tisupptet or contribute
in the best way I can to the passing of
any legislation that will remedy the
grievawc•es of the minority in Manito-
ba. I told the hon. Minister that 1
would at once declare—not that i
would support the Government- be-
cause that, i never will—hut that I
would support the measure. They
voted for the ruin who promised that
he would he in favor of remedial legis-
lation, and I an still in favor of it. I
oppose this Bill precisely because I
feel that, if we were to pass it tel -day,
it would put an end to all possible
chance of re-establishing separate
schools in Manitoba.
Mr. Langelier, March 5 -This Bill is
simply a mockery. .
Mr. Monet, March 12, 1890 f had al-
ready stated --and I repeat the state-
rwent—that, if Archbishop Liingevin
were satisfied with the, Bill, viewed
from a religious standpoint, we are not
satisfied with it at all, hot h from a na-
tional and from a political stand-
point.
Mr. Rinfret, March 111, 1896—Now,
Sir, I think it my duty to vote against
the Bill, and also because it c:vn in no
way remedy the grievances complain-
ed of by the Catholic minority nor will
it restore to them the rights and privil-
eges they have been so unjustly de-
prived of.
Mr. Carroll, March 10, 1896- I am
against this law because i think it is
the death -blow to the French language
in the province of Manitoba.
!Mr. Monet, March 12, 1826 --But the
only remedial thing ie this Bill is the
title.
Mr. McIaaac, March 1R—The Bill be-
fore the House is only a shadow of the
remedial order.
Mr, Brunean, March 19 —We oppose
with might and main this Bill because
it does not involve a single provision
calculated to deal full justice to our
fellow countrymen out west.
Mr. Bruneau—I have been brought
up in the great Liberal school which
admits of no compromise when the na-
tional or religtouudhta. of our com-
patriots are at stake. Should I have
to struggle for twenty, thirty years,

ber that file traitors are on t e;r .side,
as they have been too mean to secitr'e
to our compatriots their rights and
privileges as they existed prior to 189.0.
I may tell those hon, gentleman that
they ought to admit that the Bill does
not r ender justice to the Manitoba min-
ority, does not actually secure to them
a singlea•tom of the rights, pledges, and
privileges taken away from them.
Mr. Bruneau--"The Bill provides,
first, to invite the Government of the
province of Manitiba to take
action." To put it in other words,
the Bill is a compromise, and
not a remedial late. Could there
be found, 1 ask, anything more unjust
than such a legislation? Itgives noth•
ing. absolutely nothing, not even a
cent to the Catholic schools, while
something like five hundred dollars is
given to each public school.
Mr. Edwards—Although I do not
believe in disallowance generally, I do
believe that this Act of 18110 should
have been disallowed.
Mr. Bruneau—I shall vote against
the Bill, because it is incomplete and
does not reader justice to our fellow -
Countrymen.
Mr. Charlton, March 12, 1896—Now,
Sir, this ?notion for the six months'
hoist, which I shall support. It de-
mands the support of those who be-
lieve that the Bill affords no adequate
remedy for an assumed grievahce.
i\lr. McCarthy—The hon. gentleman
says he cannot vote for that because
he is opposed to the principle of separ-
ate schools. Remember, the House
has already passed the second reading
of the Bill and we are hound to
make it ae good a measure ns we can,
reserving our right to oppose it on the
third reading, it, taken as a whole it is
not such a measure as we can support.
MA VITOBA AND SEPARA7'E
SCHOOLS.
In this section, in fact throughout
Ontario, the statement has repeatedly
been made that the electors of Mttui-
toha in the last Provincial election
declared overwhelmingly against the
Dominion Government, The truth of
the ?natter is the Greenway party is
not even the choice of the electors of
Manitohrt where the school question
was made an issue, the vote being as
follows :—
Liberal votes 11,178
Patrons 2,680
Independents 930
Conservatives 10,719
25,507
It will thus he seen the Grits had as
against the Conservatives a majority
in the whole Province of only 459,
while a majority of the 3,610 Patrons
and Independents decidedly in favor
of the Conservative party. The Liber-
als got• less than half the popular vote.
and owe their majority largely to the
gerrymandered condition of the pro-
vincial cons) ituencies and enormously
corrupt practices of their paid officials.

Potlileal Meeting.
The Clinton Young Conservatives
are already beginning the campaign,
and a large pahlic meeting was held in
the Drill hall Tnesrlay evening, under
the auspices of the Young Men's Con-
servative Association. the principal
feature of the meeting was an address
by the president, Mr, John Ransford,
on free trade as it is in England. The
subject was thoroughly ventilated, n.ntl
the utter fallacy of the policy as a
means of reducing taxation clearly
shown. 'fo the citizens of Clinton,
many of whom are engaged in manu-
facturing, the moral was plain. They
have no use for a policy which pro-
poses to ruin their industries on the
one hand, and saddle them with heavy
direct taxation un the other. Quoting
from Parliamentary blue hooks, he
showed the enormous depreciation in
the value of faun properties that had
resulted from the British farrier being
crowded nut of his own market. Not
only were land -owners being reduced
to poverty, but nrany educational and
religious endowments dependent upon
rentals from farm lands were .Ending

Conservative candidate for East huron,
was the next speaker. His subject
was "Unrestricted Reciprocity and
Tariff for Revenue Only." Mr. Dickin-
son reviewed with much etre the his-
tory of various attempts to obtain a
reciprocity treaty with the United
States. Beginning at the abrogation
of the old treaty of 1854, he showed
how the ablest statesmen of both part-
ies had vainly endeavoured to make a
fair and honorable bargain with Wash-
ington, but had one and all been met
with the demand that we should dis-
criminate against Great Britain, and
at the aanre time make Canada a dump-
ing ground forsurplus Atnerican manu-
factures. He pointed out what would
have resulted during the late commer-
cial crisis in the United States had
our markets been open to them, when
the chief anxiety of their manufac-
turers was to dispose of goods at any
price for cash. Without a tariff our
market would have been glutted, our
factories closed, thousands of opera-
tives thrown out of employment, and
the financial standing of the country
seriously impaired. Instead of this,
our business had gone on with scarcely
any .interruption, and we had pulled
through so comfortably as to amaze
the world. Continuing, the speaker
clearly showed the futility of getting
any Lair system of unrestricted reci-
procity with the United States, and
pointed out the fallacy of expecting to
find a market in a country which pro-
duced a surplus of everything we pro-
posed to export. He then drew atten-
tion to the more feasible scheme of lm-
perial Federation, showing that Great
Britain was and will lie our best cus-
tomer. Concluding, Mr. Dickinson
' urged upon the audience to maintain
unswerving loyalty to the Empire, a
sentiment that was heartily received,
and cheered to the echo. The meeting
concluded with the National Anthem.
The Other Side.
Editor News -Record
DEAR Si it, ;:indly allow us space in
your columns to ,Iraw the attention of
our townsmen to the unprecedented
action of His Worship the Mayor and
certain Councillors and town officials
iu attaching their official titles to their
names in a testimonial to the merits of
the Western grading machine, thus
giving it every appearance of an official
recognition from the town authorities.
The names signed in their ofici,il
capacity is exceedingly misleading.
We would ask Mr. Mayor why, et the
meeting of the Council which decided
to purchase the Champion machine by-
so
yso large a majority, he shirked his vote
and did not place himself on record as
being opposed to the purchase of the
Champion machine.
We view the matter in the light that
the testimonial given to the rejected
machine is rt great reflection on those
who voted for the Champion, believing
as we did that t hat machine was the
best, adapted to do the class of work
most needed by the town in the future,
as well as the least likely to get out of
order. We wish to record our opinion
that the Mayor and others exceeded
their rights in snaking this reflection
on the views of the majority. As
private citizens they of course have a
perfect right to their views, but its
corporation servants it is rnost. certriin-
Iy a very remarkable action to thus
publicly state their want of confidence
111 the opinion and resolution of their
collengues. We have no doubt hitt
what the large majority of the towns-
people will so regard it. We under-
stand that the expert sent from Gode-
rich coincided with the opinion of the
niajor•ity of the council.

Clinton Council and the Road
Machine.
Editor Sens -Record.
DEAR Sni,—Allow me through the
columns of your great home journal to
express toy opinion in regard to the
course taken by our Mayor, three coun-
cilmen and at two town servants, the
Street Inspector and Clerk, in signinga
public testimonial in favor of the West.
ern road machine. These individuals
were nut 9atisfled in attaching their
every -day names to the document, but
felt so sure that they must attach their
official titles and cast reflection on the
chosen representatives ot the people.
Such action on the part of any servant
of the Council is most reprehensible
and gives the impression that the
Council is mastered by their servants.
The testimonial is nut only unfair, but
misleading in the extreme. Aside
front this, the New Era glaringly mis-
represents the true facts of the case.
It says both machines are American
made. The fact is that the Western is
'wade in Aurora, Ill., while the Cham-
pion it manufactured in 'Hamilton,
Ont., not, more than one ninth of the
material being manufactured in the
United States. On the sane principle
one 'night as well say all the Doherty
organs rnanuf:rrtnred in Clinton were
American organs because a fraction of
raw material iimported from the U.
S. Or the manufacturer who imports
his steel platy mould hoard. Such
argument as the admirers of the Ameri`-'-
car. rnachine are indulging in is neither
fair or honest.. A majority of the
Council rule, and a majority—seven to
throe—decided that the Canadian
machine would give the hest service to
Clinton. They were conscious in their
judgment and the electors of Clinton
will agree that it ill becomes town
officials to attempt to rule the Council
or for the Mayor to deliberately mis-
represent the facts. The town, electors
will agree, has purchased the most
servicable machine. As to the New
Era's statement that Seaforth has
purchased a Western machine, I know
the statement is not true. A private
individual there purchased one before
the test was mode here, and it is quite
evident that the opinion of one man
could not reasonably he expected to he
superior to that of seven councillors.
I am sure the town and Council of
Clinton will receive good service from
the wise inves.ment, hut I trust that
in future town officials will serve their
masters and that the Mayor will not he
afraid to express his opinion at the
proper place, the Council Board.
Yours truly,
RATEP.t YER.

The conclave of the hierarchy of the

three inches above the heel and passes down a small tube and enters a leather
channel formed between the inner and outer sole which is perforated directly
under the foot. The weight of the body going from one foot to the other causes
a suction keeping the feet dry and cool. The hoot will wear longer owing
to the perspiration NOT rotting the leather. It makes no change in the shape
or style of the shoes with very little extra cost.
Guaranteed better value than any other boot at the same price without
