DAILY EXAMINER -

OTTAWA CORRESPONDENCE.

Prohibition was the order of the day in tac House last Monday, but it evoked the smallest attendance of the session. At no time were there 30 members present. Mr. Flint, of Yarmouth, N. S., had been chosen by the alliance to move the follow- ing resolution :

“That it is expedient that as speedily as

yssible this Parliament should enact a aw to prohibit the importation, manufac- tire and sale of intoxicating liquors in Canada, except for medicinal, manufac- turing and sacramental purposes.”

Dr. Roome, a Governmeat supporter, seconded the motion, which was supporte ad by Messrs. Craig, Christie and Coats- worth, and opposed by Messrs. Dupont and McLean, of Toronto. Both Messrs. Craig and Coatsworth were in favor of compensation to the liquor dealers. At

11.30 p. m., the diecussion was still drag- ging along, when Sir Adolphe Caron

the House soon after adjcurned.

The lack of interest displayed by mem- bers on both sides of the House in this subiect, betokens that, notwithstanding ithe plebiscites, they do not regard Prohiir

tion = as a question which is likely to come up _ prominently at the next Dominion _ election. The various Provincial Plebiscites were so

many election dodges; they served their turn, returned their respective parties to power, and now we shall hear little more ubout Prohibition for another four years. The Prohibition Debate may. probably be reached again this session, but there is no likelihood of Mr. Flint’s motion being adopted by the House.

Mr. Martin moved for a return showing the number of settlers brought into the Yorkton and Saltcoats district from Da- kota, and into the Calgary district from Chicago, and showing in each case the nationality of such = settlers, the of obtaining them and the tiat still remain and the occupat ons those remaining are said that a great in the Coneervative papers settlement in these districts ago of a lot of people from Dakota, brought over at the expense of the government. Half of these people turned to the States, ani the other half were only waiting for some other Govern- mentto move them somewhere pay their debtz, just as the Settlers’ Loan Company of Manitoba had done in the first instance. To enable them to leg ave Da- kota the company had advan ed $ 70,000, and owing to to the. failure of ment stood to lose the greater part of it He deplored this loss to the company, th publicity given to the movement in the first instance, and the policy of the Gov- ernment in settling their people where it was so dry they couldn’t raise He also attacked the Government for hav-

Hed had made no specific statement of locality, but, presuming that he referred to a party who, three years ago, came into Mavitobs from Dakota, who settled near Yorkton, he would tell him that these people came ut the instance of delegates of their own,

The Minister then read from the departmental report, wich |

i

showed that notw:thstanding two unfavor- | able seasons, there settlers were now thriving well, their only drawback being | that they were without railway communi-

cation, which rendered wheat raising un- |

P. R., and looked up locations for their friends. The story ci:- enlated by the grit press that they were mostly Jew peidlars, grew out of the fact that one of the delegates was a Jew and he did most of the talking. The Minister concluded by reading from the report, which showed that twenty heads of these families had settled north of Calgary.

Mr. McM Ilan, of Huron, protested | against the Government’s proposal, as he | understood it, to appoint au inspector to | weigh all cheese at Montreal. He held that the farmer: would be impoel upon were inspection to be male compulsory, after the cheese had left the factory, and | cited several instances where inspection at | Montreal of cheese from Eastern Ontario, had been used asa means of defrauding the farmers,

Mr. Tay'or showed that the Eastern On- tario dairvmen had pressed upon the Goy- ernment the appo.ntment of a referee iu | Montreal io see that they got fair play in the weighing of cheese. Mr. MeMillan’s } letters were from buyers, not from or producers.

Si: John Thompson explainel that it was not the intention of the Government to have ull cheese inspected in Montreal. | There would be n> interference in Largains | between buyers and sellera; the inspector } would only intervene in case of disputes as to weight.

Mr. Davies moved last week to have the | Anditor-General’s report referred to the | Public Accounts Committee, so that the Auditor might beexamined regarding cer- tain correspondenve between himself and some of the departments.

Sir John Thompson said that motion required notice, as much of the correspondence appearing in the Auditor- General’s report referred to the current year, the accounts of which were not be- fure the Committee. Sir John said that the practice of the Auditor-General in mix- ing up the accounts of different years was productive of great confusion.

Mr. Davies defended the Auditor’s | course, and insisted that an immediate ex- | amination should be made.

A few days later Mr. Davies brought | the matter again before the House. . He | insisted that there should be an investiga- | tion of the Treasury Board’s over- -ruling | of the Auditor-General’s contention re- | garling the payments to the Railway | contractors in what are known ‘

tween the Auditor-General and the Deputy Minister of Finance, and the only way he saw to get there was to have the whole matter referred to the Public Accounts’ Committee,

Sir John Thompson objected to Mr. Davies’ proposal, which was nothing more or less than to place the Government on trial before the Publie Accounts Commit- tee. The Government were responsible to the House, and the proper place to put them on trial was in the. House. Any papers, however, which Mr. Davies might require for legitimate enquiry into the “Hard Pan” cases would be immediately forthcoming on his naming what he want ed.

Last Wednesday Sir John Thompson laid on the table of the House a petition from Cardinal Taschereau, and alli the Catholia bishops of Canada, upon the Northwest Sc hool question, A copy was also laid before the Senate by Hon. Mac- kenzie Bowe’l, and another presented to His Excetleney the Governor-Gieneral by His Grace Archbis shop Duhamel. The following is a synopsis of the petition :—

It reviews at length the history of the abolition of Seperate Schools in Manitoba by p' ovincial I. gislation, and the com- pl: 1inis of interference with Roman Catholic rights by the school ordinance of the Northwest Territories. The petition says, in dealing with the matter of religious in- struction of Roman Catholic children in Manitoba: “Protestant children. will be allowed to pray according to their parents’ desire, while Catholic children are dej prived of the same libertyy and this under penalty of forfeiting their legRimate share of public money because, inofder to secure to his or her school the government grant, the teacher must declare under oath that no prayer or religion’ exercise, except those prescribed by the advisory board, has been used in the school, Suppose a school attended exclusively, by Catholic children with a Catholic teacher, the said echool would be deprived Of the legisla- | tive grant, should the teacher or pupils | cross themselves or make use of the Hail | Mary.” | Again, the | of religious Protestants alone,

petition says: “The liberty

instruction is naturally for because jt is enacted | that those public schools are‘ non-sect- arian, that is to say that no Catholic teaching can be permitted while facilities are aYorded to zealous and intelligent Pro‘estant teachers to impress upon their ipso their own religious convictions.” is also laid, in the petition, upon

ie statement that no muncipality in M initoba, even one exclusively Catholic, without a Protestant in its limits, has any power to levy a single dollar ror Catholic sc ools.

The petition alds- The undersigne | ap- | preciate the politicn] advantages enjoyed | by Canada, and have no désire for any oher regime, satisfied that there is in the | iistitutions of-the coun‘ry and in the spir t

| Sires

| of jnstice and conciliation which prevails among its inhabitant-, a remedy against | what, just now, is the subject of their com- plaints. The Canadian constitution ack-

nowledges equal rights for all citizens and

for all classes of citizens, thérefore Cana- | dians ehwould not be oppressed because they | are Catholics. Reference ix made to_the | devotion of the pioneer missionaries in } planting the cross in Canada, as well as | t eir devotion to the missionaries to whom | England “ owes the quiet poasession of the colony which France had planted on the St. Lawrence and its trivutaries.”

After reference to the necessity of | reii- | gions instructions in schools as a matter of conscience the petition preceeds: “The | undersigned are at one with their flocks | in insisting on their rights, and they are | fully determined to preserve them in their } integrity, There is in this,a question of | jus tice of natural e quity, Of prudence and of social economy.” The document in-

cludes as follows :

“The undersigned, while petitioning as | they do, repudiate the idea-ef interference with political parties, or with the direc tion of aft i irs purely political or temporal. | Their sole object is to secure for the Cath- O.ics & protec tion neede “be for the accom- plishment of. their religions obligations, and it is in that view, andiin’ that view that they petition Mis Exce'lency the Governor-General-in-Council and the memters of the Senate and Commons, of whatever party they may be, to help ina fair settlement of the actual difficulties.

“Therefore, your petitioners hum bly Excellency the. Governor-Gen

Lieutenant-Governor of the Northwest Territories, inv order that by amending

ordinances, redress should be given to meet the grievances of which the Catholics of the Northwest complain, on account of ordinance No. 22, assented to at Regina on tie 3ist December, 1892.”

Wednesday was private members day, and Dr. Weldon’s bill to disfranchise voters who have taken bribes at elections, occu- pied both afternoon and evening seseione, It evoked an immense amount of discus sion, chiefly by the French membera, who seemed to be unanimous in Opposition z) it. Nearly all the debate was‘in French,

| and the English speaking meinbers were | not in it.

Mr. Jeannotte spoke for’ fully | three hours. Col, Amyot, Mr. Dupont and Mr. Belley were also among the orators; Sproule, and plucky little Dr. Bergin, the Surgeon | General of the Militia forces. He is the smallest man in the House. I know no

| man in Charlottetown so smal! as he.

It is hinted that all this furious opposi-

| tion to the bill is fora purpose—to keep

the measure at the top of the order paper Every time it

vhole day, and the consequence will be

| tnat a number of private bills will not be

reached before prorogation, ameng them being Charlton’s Sabbath Observ ance Bill, Electoral Franchise Amendment Bill, McCarthy’s Northwest and French | Language Bill, Die key’s Woman’s Fran- chise Bill, Mulock’s Bill to reduce the Governor-General’s salary, and a number of others.

It is really wonderful, the way in which the zeal Of the Opposition members on the public accounts committee has cooled since the Government ageed’ to permit the examination of witnesses on oath. Mr. Lister has scarcely found time to attend the meetings of the. committee, urgent | private hesieess demanding his attention | elsewhere.

Mr. McCarthy appeared in the House last Wednesday for the first time since his

memorable retreat after Dr. Montague flagellated him. : Ere this reaches your readers, the

| Honse will have dispoxed of the Tariff | Bill, and the back of the session may then be said to be broken. Butno. one’ looks for prorogation before the end of June. Our weather, though bright and clear, is very cool, much too cool, in fact, and we have had several footie lately,
