THE WANITOBA SCHOOL CASE
SIR JOHN THOMPSON'S AD-
DRESS AT CLINTON.
PRESENT ASPECT OF TIIE
(; Um'1'ION.
The Premier said he was pleased that
an elector had sent him a note with the
request that he explain the Manitoba
School Case. Ile or the Government
had nothing to keep back. Ile (the
:Premier) had many times explained
the case, once recently in Montreal, and
although the people lie was talking to
today were of a differ, nt cteed, he
would address them almost word for
word. Time and again I have been
accused with respect to this question of
pandering to Catholic interests. Time
and again in another province I have
been accused of entering into a league
with the Boman Catholic heirarchy for
the purpose of subverting the constitu•
Conal rights of a Province of thisDumin
ion; and when our time came to speak
'in Parliament last session we stated
the whole case, we brought all the docu-
ments down, and still our opponents
claimed that the House should censure
us, and th.,y .have never to- this hour
been able to tell the reason why.
::R.•TARTE ANSWERED.
'Prue, there was a suspicion in .the
great mind of Mr. Tarte that 1 had en-
tered into a league with [lis Grace the
Archbishop of St. Boniface, that I had
promised Elis Grace that if a decision
of the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council went against his people in Mani
tobe, I would manage in some way to
subvert that decision and obtian remed-
ial measures from our own Parliament.
I denied that on the floor of Parliament;
but I did not satisfy \Ir.'I'arte‘. , (Laugh-
ter.) 1)r. 'Torte went to the Liberal
convention, repeated the story and de-
clared bre was able to prove it; clod be.
fore many weeks were over Ile had not
only my solemn denial made on the
floor ot Parliament that any compact had
been made with anyboby on this subject,
but he had the solemn assertion in writ•
ing of the venerable Archbishop himself
declaring that, however 'untrue it might
be, however Much I might regard it as a
calumny, as regirds himself it was a
disgraceful calumny of the grossest kind.
1 believe that the people of the Dom hie
ion of ( anoxia to -day, apart from my own
denial, will accept the words of that
venerable and saintly man in preference
to that of ten thousand Tortes. So
Much for the story that 1 had an intrigue
by which the decision of the Judical
Committee was to be subverted and put
aside. But, then the people of Ontario
have been told by another great public
man that I am resorting to some trick
and; device for the purpose of setting
aside the decision of' the Judicial Com
mittee of the Privy Commit. 1 tell you
ladies and gentlemen,
THE PACTS OP TIIE CASE
and you will find they lay in very small
compass. The province olManitoba has
two statutes by which separate school
edt'loation in that province was abolished.
The Roman Catholic minority took this
ground. They said, while it he true that
every province of Canada has the right
to make its own laws in regard to educa-
tion, it cannot take away a system of
separate schools which existed before
the province was created, and therefore
those statutes are null and void. We
laid to them that that. Was a question
which had to he, decided by tbe[courts,
because:it was a question of law, and it
must eventually go to the courts for
decision. It was sent to the courts, I
mu willing to admit, au(i,hal;e admitted;
on the floor of Parliament. At that
time it was taken to the courts by the
Government for the purpose of having
that decision settled definitely by a
judicial tribunal. At that time there
was 110 statute by which that question
could he tried by any court to which we
could seed it, and, therefore, hall to say
to His Grace and the gentlemen who
were supporting hila in his trouble that
it was necessary that one Of them shoull
conte torward and institute the suit in
his own name, so as to have the question
decided and we paid the expanse of th
Iitigation .
THE DECISION WAS AGAINST THE 'MINORITY
in Manitoba. The decision was that
these two statutes did not take away
rights from the minority which existed
at the time that province was created.
So much for that decision. It is final,
and no man is the Government or out
of it can, or should. attempt to assail it
or subvert it by any ineans, even it' such
means were in his power. But the wins
arity supporting his Grace said: —Now
that these acts have been declared by
the highest legal authorities to be valid
ar1(1 oonstitutioual, we appeal t0 the
Governur'.in•Council to give us remedial
legislation, to give us redress against
such parts of those acts as deprive us of
the right to educate our own children
and to tax ourselves for the support of
educational institutions for our children.
Uuder a clause of the constitution which
says with respect to educational enact-
wents taking away the right of the min•
ority, a right which the minority got
after the union, while the act would be
constitution..; and valid, the minority
would have the right to go to the (lovers
nor-in.Council for relief. What was the
position under these circumstances*?
'file province of Manitoba is created'
under the statute in which that appeal
is not expressly given. fn the British
North Anterica Act it is expressly given
to every other province in Canada, but
Ilis Grace on behalf of the minority
s rid : •-Aithough it is not expressly by
this act, We as a province as part of the
population in a province of it confedera•
tion are entitled to the benefit of that
relies' under the British North Aumerica
Act. The Provincial liov1 rnment de-
nied that positionand said that with
respect to that subject the British North
America Act olid not apply. '('here were
various minor features of that question
which [ need not trouble you with.
THE.41 ARE THE LEADING POINTS:
Wesaid to His Grace, under these fire
cumstences it is a difficult and doubtful
question of law, and we rnust again ask
tho courts to•decide the new question
which has been ,aised by that appeal.. II
we had been disposed, and had under,'
taken to pass remedial orders in corn,
plianee with His Grace's appeal, and it
turned nut that we had no power to pass
such orders and that His Grace bad no
right to insert such an appeal, they
would have been absolutely worthless.
Then we would have been hounded out
of OMee for 'having undertalceu to inter•
fere without the authority of the law,
with the rights of the province, for the
purpose of cultivating the vote of the re•
ligi„us minority in that province. His
Grace and those for whom he acted, were
wise enough to see that., undar those
circumstances, the only sate way to pro..
ceed was to get an authoritative decision
on the question, whether an appeal un,'
der those circumstances would lie against
those two statutes. And that is the
question which le now before the courts.
While it is, before the courts I do not
and cannot blame any man for declining,
as did the leader of the Opposition in
convention the other day, to express an
opinion as^to what he would do if the de •
oision were one way or another, because
no man can tell, until that decision is
pronounced, what rights it will estab-
lish or deny with regard to the minority,
and what rights or powers it will estahe,
lisle or negative with regard to the Gov.
ernor-in Council or the Federal authori-
ties.
But I do blame Mr. Laurier for
this, that for the purpose of appealing
to passions in this country, for the pure
pose of making it, appear to one class of
the people that he is in favor of inter-
fering in behalf of the minority, and of
making it appear to another class that
he was never going to interfere tor the
minority—that he, under the circum•
stances, supported the vote of censure
in the House of Commons and declared
that we had been guided by arrant cow-
ardice, and he used the word with as
much repetition as children do at play
when they get angry with one another.
But although it was cowardice, he said,
for us not to express an opinion until
the decision was given he had no opinion
to express himself, except which was

e1'ared tint t We. bhuul'd be oenenred, he
waa bound by duty to hie party and to
tate !while, to declare what his policy
was and why it was we were liable to
oennure. Instead of doing this, when he
came to face the question in convention, -
he recused to say anything about it on
the platform, on the plea that the C.(8e
was before the ooul•ts. The only opine
ion 11e would express about it was that
the (government, were coivurds—
uower,ls, onwards all the time.
It is re remarkable. circuwstanoe that
on the clay of that convention, when he
thus spoke, and was so eager to run for
shelter to the litigation, the litigation
h. td not begun. The case had not been
sent to the courts, and, therelore, his
lips were not sealed, and ho might (lave
told the convention all his heart about
it. !le restrained himself, however, On
aha ground that the Government had
decided to seed the case to the courts.

Now, the only utterance which the lead-
er of the Opposition has given as to whet
his policy would he upon this question
is simply thi=:-- Ile says that it has been
alleged •by Il is Grace the Archbishop
and the Cathulo minority that the Pub.
Iic schools are really Protestant s:lhools,
and it so, he sacs -ami of crnn•se every-
body Agrees with the sentiment that i t
would be an outrage that Catholic child-
ren Should be obliged to attend then{

ed for their support. Ile promised to
enquire into that and give redress.
Well, in the first place, lie would require
to know•wliether he had the power to
give redl•ee3 or not, and it' lie put his
fingers on any school, Protestant or
Catholic, as a member of the 17tdera1

ordered by the courts of the country to
take his fingers off, but lie would find
that he had lou ;died •to the grunt dis-
advantage of the educational 22)1(188(5 ot
the Province, as well as its legislative
rights. In the first ?place, no neater
how great an outrage may ha allowed to
exist with regard to education in that or
any other Provinca, before the Federal
Governm, 01 should be asked to inter,
tere, it should he .made pretty clear by
the highest authority that they have the
power and the consequent duty to inter-
fere.
WE THE: EC'ORE:MEET ME. L.1t RIER.
by saying, even if these were such schools
as you describe, you would have no right
to touch them without haviug the power
and the consequent duty to interfere
.laid down by the highest authority in the
country. But Mr. Laurier's statement
that he would interfere if he found these
to be Protestent stdioola, is a proposition
open at both ends and which anyone
can see through. Whet is a Protestant
school makes all the difference ,in the
world noeording to the light of him who
looks at it. His Urace is of the opinion
that these are necessarily Protestant
schools, although public schools, because
they ;limply go forward in continuation
of the Protestant separate schnol system
which was in vogue in the province be-
fore the objectionable acts were; passed
and in the (wind of another who would
enquire as to whether I iottstant instruc•
MOD Was given 1n these schools or Lot,
the greatest difference might prevail. It
is a difference which theologians would
str iggle pretty hard over, duel which
politicians never would settle till the end
of time. tLaughter.) So, no one need
be (;eluded by 3Ir. Laurier pointing them
to a \\'i1I ce the \Visp like that. It is
not a question what the schools are to
do. We have no power to interfere in a
prnviace from. time to time, ((s the
schools become oppressive, art/ conduct-
ed on unjust principles, unit interfere
with the religious principles of the par-
ents and children. We have no power
to interfere, from time to time, to regus
hate matters of that kind. Once for all
we have to decide, if the public function
is imposed upon us by the, courts, not
what the schools are, but what the
citizens of the province slake them ; and
therefore, if the statutes of Manitoba do
not Make the schools of that province
Protestant schools and do not:justify the
public schools of that province being
wide Protestant schools, the Federal
Government would have no power to in,
terlere if any contravention of the kw
there was trade to the oppression of the
• minority.
THE REMEDY I8 WITHIN THE PROVINCE
itself. before the tribunals of the coune
try for a grievance like that. The uts
most that can be or is said in the appeal
that is made to is that the two
statutes objected to are oppressive to
the minority in the establishment of
saoo's of that character. The law has
just,fied their establishment to the in-
jury of the minority, and, therefore,
remedy ought tu be given, not against
the schools as they exist now, or may
exist six- months or a year hence, but
against the schools as they are consti-
tuted or may be constituted by virtue of
those two statutes, and those two statutes
alone. With regard to what has been
said in the• other province, this being
simply an attempt to get round the
decision of the Judicial Committee of
the Privy Council by bad faith, that is
altogether an injurious and erroneous
statement. The redress which may be
claimed by Ills (Grace and the minority
is a redress which may be far short of
the nullification of the Manitoba statutes
and he who assumes that the courts are
going to decide that we can and intend to
nullify those acts, acts upon an assumpe
tion altogether erroneous, and the only
objection can he to excite prejudice for
the purpose of making it appear that
there is some intrigue on our part.
Everything which has paesed the lips of
a minister to a prelate or anybody else
is invoked: but I can spry that every
man who has had the least communities
tion with us on the subject is as free to
publish it to day on the walls of every
town in Canada as he is to publish his
opinions on any other subject. Let me
finally say that
THE CASH 18 INSCRIDED POR ARGUMENT
and will probably be argued before the
Supreme Court of Canada next month.
The position of the leader of the Opposi•
1 tion is taken on the assumption that
this is to he a very simple decision, and
Mr. Dalton McCarthy has told his peos
plate the Welt dials r~he duly que419n.
i •1i(tV( wit power la In:terf'eret When
he has tInae to read: ttttx cfMahewilt find
that we have euknllitted othelr .questions
which will largely guide and control the
action which tq.ay be finally taken upon
His Grace's appeal. \1/e have asked the
courts to decide witether the condition
that existed In )fiunitoha constitutes a
right egaiort the taking away of which
the minority have a right to insert this
appeal. We have naked them to decide
whether the rights of the minority have
been injuriously affected by these two
statutes, and to decide as well the quer•
Lion of the power of the executive to
entertain the appeal to give relief. Un
til the court's decision has been pro -
pounced, it is impossible for any living
man to say what policy has to be laid
down, because no than knowA what right
is to be defined as possessed by the mins.
ority, and what powers, it nay, will be
defined as possessed by the executive of
the Dominion. I have told you the
whole case; there is absolutely nothiug
kept in reserve, and the man wh.o should
undertake to prophesy as to what the
decision would be, the 11101) who would
uudertake to formulate a policy in ads
vance of that decision would b s a fool;
and Mr. Laurier is worthy of oowlerena
tint), not for having refused to declare
his policy on the subject, but for (paving
in the fiat pace, condemned us for r.ot
having done 80; and in the second place
if he found us wonky of censure for not
haviug done so, for at least not having
attempted to do so himself.
