The Exeter Advocate, 1889-12-26, Page 4a THE WM. SA.le'DlaR5, Editor. TT aur day learn not only to tolerate and unite with Protestant ehildreiebut are forced into: a general rivalry promotive of in, teltectual as well as social: benefits Separate Schools were established by peOeillber 26th 1889, the Act of Union; they have been sane- tioned by Imperial approval, andwill remain for many a day:. But that 'i no reason why they should seek to eai- joy exceptional prevfle„es. no reason, why 4 Common School Inspector should not exercise jurisdiction over them. It would be better for the children, bet- TEJ11ter for the system, better for the bell 1 gion sv1aieiI the schooiars believe lig, betterfor the well-being, happiness and autonomy of the entire Province.

A political head, must be a political agent, a puppet in the hands of designing. wire pullers and diplomat - party friends. The school book scan- dal was sufficient to establish this, atel had 1lr. Mowat been wise, he would may e'abolished the office of political Iibad of the Department of Education when it became vacant several years ago. ::Cie did not, however, and still the people seemed satisfied and voted for Mr. Mowat and his candidates, just as though there was nothing else left. to do.. The other issues discussed by the hearers of the Opposition are those up en Which there is no bounds to be dis agreement. But disagreement must be expected in all well regulated com- munities, such, however,being of a civ- tlizecd, character. Constitutional a:;ita *ion lathe natural outcome of freedom. as people progress:and the country ad• rancesit!must be exppeetedthat the old girder of things will change, or at least, experience the vicissitude or triumph of submision to the ordeal of public sminion. " Hence, to hearMr: Meredith object to exemption of property from tua.ation, is nothing now, except that at is crystallised into such a form. as. -w l make it an issue at the forthcom- ing elections. Again, thousands upon thousands are of opinion that our scli6ol system would be purer, more„ elevate Itg, and more elevated, if remo$ed from any ecclesiastical control what- ever., hat=ever., The same with the enlargement of the area and functions of Separate &heels. These were established as a d?tiaity, by the British North America' A et,and although. such is the case, hun• deeds of Catholic parents send their off- springs to the Public School,where they tbey fear what they call the"solid Cath- olic vote," simply because imagining that the Church re malates the vote To be sure the Archbishop Lynelb con - met/ that impression in some of bis teeters rs as well as pastorals of the Cath clic Church were believed to ilasoly ed in a political question, bishops were bound to interfere, thermore, ko s lid:wile Catholic Chu and the 1 ,hops view Governments au political parties, Solely as they effect their people as members of the Church." Protestant comanauiiies, men divide' on pnlitieatl questions, and two parties are farmed neither being likely to unite with the otherwhile if the Arch- bishop Lynch's doctrine is the doctrine of to-day:the parties which supportsthe Cathelie Church would get the Catholic vote -simply because one party says that educational matters must be re- ed from agora of politics,, and rarest be conducted in a cosmopolitan spirit, free from the control of either Cath- olic of i'rotestaut dignitary, in other words, that the clergyman should point the way to heaven and the teachers without neglecting moral training and example -the avenue leading to the warehouse, the banning parlor, nd the great trade industries of life. ordinary of hirs,busiuess downs sen- nt every time, and in discussing uestion, men vilest learn to judge political issues on their merits, not measure them according to religious convictions. Catholics, like Protestants, are interested in the welfare of the Province, in the intellectual training of their chilcl'reu, in -the mental outfit given to them to do battle in the sen- tries of business, and it is well this im- portant issue to be pronounced upon aceording to the majority. The other points referred to by ;llr<ltereditlenaan c ly, the use of French in Ontario schools, is one upon which theme wilibe differ- ence of opinion;but this would be a ques- tion: involved in the inspection of as well as text books used in such instit uncus. As to the secrecy of Oct bal- lot, there never was a more indecent exercise of power. This statute should be changed, and will be changed, for none but an independent people. who would just as soon vote openly, would tolerate the wrong which Mr. Mowat has prepetrated. These then,. are thel main points of Mr. ?Meredith's platform, and whether they carry his party into power or not, he has stated them in a manly, statesmanlike and earnest spir- it.
