Every Other Political Issue
Lost Sight of.
"; TOPIC OF ABSORBING INTEREST
Bota Great Political Parties Will Be
Involved, and Possibly Split In
The Quarrel. '
. New Yobk, March 26. A special dis-
patch to the World from Ottawa, On-
. tario, says: Every other political issue
appears to have been lost eight of in the
action the Dominion government has
taken towards re-establishing separate
schools, which were taken away from
Soman Catholics in Manitoba by the
government of that province in .1890.
As to the effect of the step just taken by
the Dominion government upon the two
great political parties in Canada it is
impossible at this stage to give a just
opinion. - The Roman Catholics of Can'
ada number 42 per cent of the whole
population, and as the grievances of the
Roman Catholics of Manitoba are shared
by the whple Catholic population of the
Dominion, it may be readily seen that
the fight for redress will be a bitter one,
with the full force and influence of the
Orange element arrayed against them.
The present premier, Sir Mackenzie
Bowell, is a very prominent Orangeman,
. but with Sir Charles Tapper as minister
of justice he took the ground that the
highest tribunal in the realm has de-
' $ clared that the vested rights of the
Catholics of Manitoba had been inter
fered with, and as it wcame a question
for him either to deny them that right or
to restore to them that which they had
been deprived of, he chose the latter
course, even in opposition to the Btrong
est Orange and ultra-Protestant influence
that could be brought to bear upon him
It was a daring step, a step not taken
without several of his cabinet threaten
ing to resign, one of his ministers, Pat
terson, minister of militia, having since
carried out his threat.
Clark Wallace, the controller of cus
toms, who holds the position of sov
ereign grandmaster of the Orange order,
still retains his position in the govern
ment, but it is said that he will have to
resign, as Orange lodges ail over tne
country are passing resolutions strongly
condemnatory of the government's
action.
There are other dissensions in the cab
inet over the step taken towards restor
ing Roman Catholic schools in Manitoba
and while it is hardly probable that
further resignations will follow, the
matter has created some very bad blood
among Sir Mackenzie s ministry that
may show iteelf when least expected.
The liberal party is in no better posi
tion than the government, for they will
have to commit themselves one way or
the other when the matter comes up be
fore parliament next month. The
liberals have alwavs cast their share of
the Roman Catholic vote, while nine
tenths of the Orangemen of the Domin
ion support the conservative party.
This fact makes the complications that
yet may arise out of the Manitoba school
question even more apparent. '.
To Reclaim tne Arid Lands.
Boston,- March 26. Chairman Wil
liam jm. emytne, oi the national irri
gation committee, representing the irir
gation congress of the Western states,
inaugurated an earnest campaign for bis
cause last evening. Edward Everett
Hale presided over the meeting- and
made a vigorous speech in favor of or
ganized effort to divert the surplus popu
lation to surplus lands. Smythe de
clared:
"The cause of the West Is the cause of
the nation." He presented telegrams
from public officials of Wyoming, Idaho,
Washington and Montana, announcing
that each of these states has passed leg'
islation accepting a grant of 1,000,000
acres of public lands on condition that
they be reclaimed and settled. He
claims lor such advances as are neces
sary to move, equip and sustain the peo
ple, ample security can be furnished
upon the lands and water supply.
