S., as the Consereattve eattididate8: 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, ij00;f44a,yor, 140 iiti!$l� b^alit:( galetp VOW, k�41",.

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.

'y 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.

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.

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. Clinton, May 11.
