The Duran News -Record 1.26 a Year -31.00 in Advance WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6th, 1897 7IIL+' CONSERVATIVE PARTY AVD MANITOBA ,SCHOOLS. Victoria Warder. The reform press etre vainly seeking to fasten on the conservative party the policy of coercion re Manitoba Ronutn Catholic aschools. Their efforts are futile, are yain. The people realize the exact position of affairs. Conservative leaders honestlysought, after Greenway had repeatedly refused to consider even the slightest modifl- cation of his haw, to give effect by the only course open to there to the judg- ment of the court in the British I±,m- pire. The conservative leaders or the conservative party have never either directly or indirectly been advocates of separate schools per se. They have advocated the carrying out of the judgment of the judical committee of the Imperial privy council, but they .differed materially among thernselves as to the degree or distance to go in .carrying it out. That is and has been the stand of the ,conservative party. The reform party policy has been one cry for protectants and -another far roman Catholics. To the roman catholic they said:—"The tory bill is no good: Put us in power anc we will give you a stronger bill;" while to the protestants they cried, "No separate schools, no coercion." 1140W, ,arab Dn? iBUIUKe OI oatue nae eleared away the people can judge of the honesty of purpose of the twc -rent parties. Of the despicable, treacherous, spiteful course pursued by D'Alton McCarthy and a few of strnilavly disappointed characters noth• ing need be said. Only the political parties are under consideration and (ive wen are not a party. Because the cunservative leaders in exposing the hypocrisy of the grits on the trade, school and other public questions, have explained the fraud of the reform party, the latter pretend that the tory, leaders still maintain that Greenway and his co-conspirttork should not, be permitted to settle the quest iom themselves. The public can rest assured the matter is now it in end so fir as the conservative party at Ottawa is concerned; and also ie fru• as the ruulan catholic church is concerned. Critical readers of history never heed the language of the rouian catho. ! ic gni arch y unless their ncTrovs cur• espoud. In this case as it prominent r•erot ul leader recently pointed out, the bishops are in a peculiar position. They are well satisfied with the Greenway settlement. 10 Openly end or,•; e Itlr•. Laurier's cause as with many honor• able exceptions they did secretly last June, would b:� to brand the church leaders for all time as unreliable. To flow admit themselves satisfied with the Greenway sale would alae be very injudicious on the part of the bishops for these among other rea. sons: -- (1) Acceptance of the &AlleMent without prrtest by the bishops would stamp them Its treasouahle to those to whom they professed ft•iendship and support last June. (2) It would be an admission that separate schools are not essential to the well-being of the roman catholic people. (3) It would recognize that the stales and not, the chinch should control the education of the youth. (-1)It would he it precedent for the nbolut.ion of separate schools in other provinces. (5) It would form a precedent against the granting of separate schools when the territories becatue, provinces. (6) It would close the door of the Manitoba, legislature for future con- cessions and arnendments already promised. (7) It would dept ive them of a "griev- ance", a splendid thin, to have when one seeks favors. However no one has a right to con - dem the roman catholic bishops and people for getting all tney can from Greenway; but they cannot be com- mended for professing displeasure and voting pleasure; for declaiming openly against Laurier and Greenway when in reality their votes and their actions prove them secretly working the other way. The. roman catholic bishops are shrewd, clever politicians; but in the present case their plans are too spec- ious, Mark you, gentle reader, we do not condem them. The green gaping mouthed tory leaders who put their necks in the uoose without hawing any means of saving themselves; find the wily, tricky grit leaders of Ottawa and Winnipeg are the ones to be condemn- ed. When the bishops, look for syni- pathy and even the upholding of the constitution in their interests for the future, the electors will demand some tangible proof of their sincerity and their steadfastness. Put Art Export Duty On Pulp Wood. The Ioronto World is at least consis- tent, if' its advochcy of protection, land we heartily agree with it when it says that the Canadian Government should impose an export duty on pulp wood. The Thorold Board of Trade has moved in the matter and has recommended ,.,, i...............a ,..,. --y ,pv, "Ut, t"itt. wh11-i-1111en reduced to pulp it is worth more than double that, the great loss that Cannfla sustains by the export of the wood is apparent. The question is whether Canadian labor shall he em - 11!ed in the reduction of the wood to pulp and the wages and profits remain in Canada, or passed on to the United States. It is generally believed that the supply of pulp wood in the United States is not sufficient to meet the de- mand for the raw material for their paper mills, hence they are under the necessity of securing it in Canada in any torr") we choose to give to them. 11, this case Canadians are literally " hewers of wood " for the Americans, cubo reap all the benefit From its manu- facture into pulp. No country has been so slow to mial.ke the most of its natural advantages as Canada. For years our tirnher limits have been sold :and our forests stripped for the benefit of our Arnericar, neighbrs. The Can- adian people have bee given the rough, ill -paid work of felling the tim- ber, teaming rind rafting it for Miehi- gan mllls, where thousands are Voyed'em- irl sawing it up' into lumber. lie elI has been cleared out of Western Ontario'in the same way and taken to Michigan mills, with the re- sult that many mills in Kent and Essex have been shut tip and the remaining ones have: only it few snore years work ahead of then,. Now the sa ire process is ging on with the spruce and po}p11ar. itis almost too late to talk of an export duty on el it) logs, but the Policy so long advocated by the On- tario Conservative Opposition of Com- pIline the manufacture of the cut of rovincial timber limits in this pro- vince, thus giving employment to our own mills and men, should prevail, and an export duty should be placed on pulp wood with the same object in view. ---.._ --. A Child Cured of Eczema by Chase's Ointment. "My six-year-old daughter, Bell, was afflicted with eczema, for 24 months, the principal seat of eruption being behind her ears. I tried almost every remedy I saw advertised, bought in- numberable medicines and soaps, and tools the child to medical specialists in skin diseases, but without resnit. The doctor advised the use of Chase's Oint- ment, and since using the eruption has all disappeared, and l can confidently say my child is cured. (Signed) MAXWELL JOHNSTON, 112 Anne St., Toronto. The New County Council. The new County Councils Act was hay -forked upon the province ae a wonderful money saving contrivance. Glibly its merits ware talked up, and the Patrons concluded they would take it. They now have it on their hands, and will see how it works in practioe. Instead of subtracting from the num- ber of local legislators and administra. tura it adds to them. There will be just as many reeves and deputy-reovee as before, but they will no longer• can. stitute the County Council. b'or that body a new set of representatives, Con- sisting of two members for every county division, or for every 3,000 people, has been created by the Act. The new Council is a char addition to the local government, It is asmallor hotly than the ussembled leaves and deputy reevesimade when thsy used to go to the county town to transadt the business of the county, but it is doubt ful if its smallness will prove oeonunr ieal, From the very nature of tl,e County Council division as a constitu- ency it will be necessary for the coun• cillors to favor a policy of -onerous expenditure, But aside from that. to urge their claims for iruproveruents, oto., the local municipalities will have to send delegations to the county town, where their representative sit. These delegations will probably cost as much as did the goings and comings of the reeves and deputy reeves when they were ex -officio members of the County Council. Those reeves and deputy reeves will still have to go to the coun- ty capital to interview their oven - lords, Last Monday was a very unfavorable day for polling a large vote, Itlthougli the speculation its to the popularity of the new order of things'greatly as- sisted in a respectable vote being Polled. The fact that in the majority of polling sub -divisions mumncipal candidates were seeking the suffrages of the people also helped to bring out the vote. All day ricin fell and the atmos- phere turned cold toward evc,ning. In this Divisien the contest was between Messrs. John Cox. D. A. Forrester and James Snell. The result is as follows:— CLINTON.

A Barnardo boy, named Bert Davis, about 18 years of age, who has been living for some time with Fred. Gren- ville, a farmer about two miles out of Thorold, Ont., shot Grenville in the neck Witt) a revolverThursda.yevening. It appears that Grenville had ,just re- turned home, and the two were un- hitching the horses. Without provo- cation or Words, Davis fired, a brill lod,King in the back of Grenville's neck, which stunned him for It while. On recovering he saw Davis snapping the weapon it him again, but it failed to go off. Grenville hurried to town for a warrant for Davis' arrest, find took the chief of police out, but Davis had disappeared. It is supposed that Davis intended robbery, as well as murder. Davis wits itt•rested in Pelham by Chief Upper Friday afternoon. Mr. Phomas McGreevy died early Saturday morning at the Hotel Dieu hospil at, Quebec, after a long and pain- ful illness. The hon. gentleman had been, for a very long time, identified with public matters in the city of Quebec. He wag a Legislative Coun- cillor from 1867 up to the last general elections, and represented Quebec West in the House of Oommons, with the exception of the two or three sess- ions during which the seat was held by the late Mr. John Hearn. He was ex- pelled from the House of Commons in 1893, following the revelations made by J. I. Tarte of his connection with the Quebec harbour works scandals.

A distressing accident occurred at Parkhill early Friday morning by which Ernie Yorke, about 15 years of age, lost his life. About one o'clock young Yorke left home for his broth- er Peter's house, which is only about 200 yards distant, and rapped on the door. Mrs. Yorke heard the rapping and tole} her husband there was a burglar in the house. Mr. Yorke arose from bed, and, getting his gun, went to the side door and fired a shot into the air. He did this with it view to searing the supposed burglar off, and he was surprised, therefore, to see a figure begin to approach hire in the darkness without saying a word. In the excitement of the moment he fired another shot, and was horrifled to find that he had shot his brother. The boy died about a half-hour afterwards.

A well known NVrueester clergy• man tells a good story at his own ex pease. In his younger days he was tramping through the White noun. taius frith a companion, who was also a clergyman. One day they mounted the driver's seat of a stage coach. The driver was an interesting character, loaded with good stories. The three speedily became friendly, and it was with reluctancy that they parted at the end of the journev. " I'm glad ter hev met yer, fellers," said the driver, in farewell "Yer soe, I haven" seen a man this summer, exceptint ministers." News Notes. Mrs. Jas. Allen, of Jarvis, Ont., was killed New Years morning as she and her husband were crossing the G. T. R. tracks, atastreet crossing at that place, to take the train for Garnet, to spend New Year's day. Mr. and Mrs. Allen are an old couple of considerable means, who have beer) living a retired life, and fire greatly respected. It is thought Mrs. Allen was watching the train she a•a,s about to take anddid not notice theengine of the Port Rowan train, which was backing down the yawl, which struck her. It is not sup- posed any hlnine whatever is attached to any of the railway employee. An inquest will probably be held.

Om seeing Mr. McLauchlin one of the burglars fired at him. Mr. McLauchlin, who has for- tunately kept a rifle with hirn since a previous burglary in 1893, immediately returned fire at the robbers. Both of them took to their heels and got out of the stere. Mr. McLauchlin supposed he had missed them, but Friday morn- ing a roan was found in the road hadly wounded by a gunshot in the lungs.
