and yo if I want my MERCIER'S DEFENCE OF THE JESUIT BILL.IS his speech at Coaticook, Mr MERCIER said: At the beginning, when the French commenced tosettle this country, they sent the Jesuits.Those J esuits came here poor.They went through the forests, passed above to the mountains, and the first everywhere, with the Gospel in their hands, trying to make Christians of the Indians.It was perfectly known that the Jesuits were always ahend of the French soldiers.It is perfectly known that in many and many cases Frenchsoldiers that were taken prisoners by the Indians were delivered by those missionarive : those Jesuits that were living with the Indians.One day the kings of France desired to give them some.property in order that they might build some schools und colleges.They gave them one of the finest properties in the city of Quebec, called the \u2018barracks property.\u201d They gave them some other property around Quebec, around Three Rivers and around Montreal.The Jesuita bought some other properties later on ns they needed them and they received donations from generous citizens in this country.It was so, gentlemen, when England took Canada in 1 759.The Jesuits were then incorporated under the French law.There was nothing in the laws of England, nothing in the proclamations, nothing in the laws of Canada, that pre vented those Jesuits from being incorporated: there was nothing in the laws or proclamations thnt prevented those Josuits from keeping those estates.It went on that way until 1773, when the Pope Clement XIV abolished the order all through Christendom.The matter stood that way until 1800, that is to say very near fifty years after the conquest, und twenty-five years after the abolishing of the order by the Pope.Under the reign of George HI A Warrant was issued stating that hy reason of conquest and confiscation the Jesuits\u2019 property belonged to the frown: and the Government took possession of them in 1806.A kind of settlement, wis drafted and went into the laws of the country, and in 1867 the Canadian Government wns in possession of the greatest part of this real estate, Now mind this, during all that period, from the year 1800 to 1867, during 67 Years the Catholic clergy protested against what they called an injustice.Th said those cstatés didhfot bèlofg 5 the Crown, that those estates bo- longed to the Chureh, ang they ought to be returned to the Chureh because, according to the actual civil lnws, there le no confiscation of n property by conquest.That is clear, and the statement that those properties were confiscated in not only ngainst Inw but ngainst the treaty of Paris, by which the cession of Cannda was made.Now, gentlemen, lot us not judge the merits of the question at present, but remember that from 1800 to 1867 protests were received every three or four years from the Catholic religious authorities: from the Pope and from the bishops, nnd that at the time the settlement was so difficult that the authorities did not know what to do.In 1867 Confederation took place.In 1874 and 1875 the greater part of this property was returned to the Province of Quebec, except the Champ de Mars in Montreal, which wns kept by the Federal authorities and is stil kept by them since 1867.1 may say nearly every year the Catholics have asked this estate for school purposes.What do T find in 18767 A formal promise by the Government nt the time to settle the question.The promise is registered at Rome, the promise is registered here, and when Icame into power 1 was placed face to face with the difficulty, and insuch a position that.sir, I had either to refuse to fulfill the promise of my predecessors or forfeit it, I thought, sir, that honor was the best policy, and that even upon such a delicate question I was obliged to effect q settlement in order to redeem the province from such a great difficulty; and when I went to Rome I asked the Pope what be was inclined to do.Well, of courne, be asked for the restitution of the property.I said I could not do that, but, I said, we are living in a mixed community; l am rendy to submit un scheme to the House by which we can pay so much to Protestants and wo much to Catholics in order to have a final settlement of the question, and it would be on these conditions : that we would give a part to the Protestants to Le distributed by themselves for their schools, the other part to the Catholics to he distributed by you to be used in the province for educationnl purposes, that we will have from you a final cession of all the rights that the church or the Jesuits may claim upon this property; and we will have a final settlement and will never hear any more of the difficulty.Of course this was bold.1 am attacked.Why?Be cause, they say, we had no business to settle this case.But if I have no business to deal with the matter why have my predecessors made \u2014 duty to fnifil the engagement of my Puedecessors ?When they promised $300,000 to settle the McGreevy draft, wae told it was my duty to ft.If we owe justice to a bank HN financind matter, we owe justice to \u201cpoor missionaries: we have to full the promives they made to paor prisuts ae wall a the promises made to gich banks.ls that all?Well,no; when 1 brought the measure before the House you may suppose, gentle men, that heaving what has bean stafed by the Montreal Gazette, that thege wus a battle there, \u2018that the Protestants appeared tingid and the Filich tory members appeared touchy.Still the vote was unani- mame, both parties are agreed to acigmowledge their satisfaction with.thesettloment, and if I am guilty, aly the tories in the House are guilty (Applause), gnd if the Protestants aé0ftbt ARRET with my party, why shemid they be satisfied with their friends in the Houre that voted with us?No, 1 did well; it is perfectly known 1 have settled n great and difficult question with the cousent of both parties in the House, But, gentlemen, don't forget that 1 have uoTight to do anything good; that is not my business! The tories clnim that I have been placed there to do wifehief.If 1 do anything good they will go for me, because they don't want me to receive o backing in the Province of Quebec.The National party must be crushed, beenuse it cannot be sustained by Sir John Macdonald! Let them bent me.But now I have settled that question and thank God, it is settled forever! (A p- plause).In answer to some questions ns to the disposal of the $60,000 allotied to the Protestants, the Premier gave the following explanation : la the law, of course we placed a clause that the Protestants were ons titled to $60,000 for their share to be used for educational purposes ; and the clause sys that it will be given over to the committee of the council of public instruction to be distributed according to the wishes of the l\u2019rotestants.We have nothing to do with it; we have but to hand it to the committee nnd they will divide the money ns they like for the benefit of their educational institutions.And we have been nutho- rized to sell the Jesuits\u2019 estates, nnd with regard to the fine property in Quebec, am alrendy in communication with the municipal authorities in Quebec with the hope that they will take the greater part of this pro- kid a splendid city hall, There are other properties in differ- cut parts of the Province, We will sell them as well ns we can, and the proceeds we will use to pay this $460,000, RESOLVED TO RISE, FIFTEEN years ago, two poor boys from the old town of Plymouth in New England.went down to & lonely part of the coust to gather a certain sea-weed from the rocks, which when bleached and dried is wold as Irish moss for culinary purposes.The boys lived in à little but on the beach; they were out before dawn to gather ur prepare the mons, which had to be wet with salt-water many times, and sprend out in the sun until it was thoroughly whitened.They had one hour each day froe from work.One of them spent it lying on the sand asleep.The other had brought out his books and studied for that hour, trying to keep up with bis school mates.The firat boy is now a middle-aged man, He still gathers mows on the const near Plymouth, The second emigrated to Kansas, became the leading man in a new settlement, and is now a wealthy, influential citizen.\u2018No matter what was my work,\u2019 hesaïd lately, \u2018I always contrived to give one hour a day tomyeducation.That is the story of my Success in life.\u2019 A similar story is told of the president of one of the largest manufacturing firms in Pennsylvania.When he was a boy of sixteen he Was à blacksmith\u2019s nasistant at a forge in thedpserior of the State.There were three other men employed in the forge.\u2018I will not always be g blacksmith, Iwil ben machinist,\u2019 said the lad.I mean to study arithmetic at night aa a beginning.\u2019 Two of the men joined him, the other went to the tavern.After a year they found work in iron mills, at the lowest grade of employment, and made their way up, invariably giving a part of every evening to study.Each of these three men now holds a high position in a great manufacturing establishment.Such examples are common of the result of inflexible perseverance in the effort to achieve a higher education and position.They are inspiring to boys, who like these mosa- gatherers or blackhmiths have firm wills and sound health, It is claimed thata good cow should give 6,000 pounds of milk Per year, and that when she gives only 8,000 pounds she is kept at oa loss.The 3,000 pounds represent about five quarts per day for 800 days.Every quart ovel that amount lessens the to settle it?Do you think it was my \u20ac ras THE BEST WIFE, OF ALL.Three travellers met inthe Brander Pass, By the bubbling Brander spring; Thoy ahared their ca keand their vanison, Aud they talked uf many à shing, ai Of books, and song, and foreign ln Of strange and Wandering lives, 92 And Wy and by, 4 softer tones, :!

Montreal, and modestly relates the thrilling experience he had in the Coteau rapids.He took a small boat from 8t Zotique to Valleyfield, but en route waa upset, and had no recourse hut to get on the bottom of the boat and endeavor to reach land.He first tried for Valleyfield, then for (lark\u2019s island, but failing both, plunged into the boiling waters of the south channel of the Coteau rapids.Then he was hurried towards the \u2018Grand Chute.\u201d Nearing it he saw what was before him, and, squaring the boat, was soon plunging down it, one moment under water, the next in theair.He was wounded as he flow through the rapids, but he never lost his presence of mind.He had to hold on to a boat hook, which fressed into the fleshy part of his hand.Getting into smoother water, he was rescued, aad conveyed to Grand Isle,\u201d Howna in the water for two hours aiid forty minutes, and though somewhat exhausted, soon recovered, The young men who rescued him saw him enter fhe \u201cGrand Chute\u201d and were prepared to pick up his dead body.lots thereabout considered it marvellous.that he came out alive.ports are received concerning damage done by frost, and it is

HeSTINGDOS, Q., Tutuspay, SEP.6, 1888 being bound by the promises of his predecessors, we tuke up his defence that \u201cthere is no confiscation of property by conquest.\u201d He contends that Wolle's crowning victory, the bauling down of the French stun- dard and the enising of the Union Jack, aud the formal cession of all France's rights aud claims by the treaty of Paris, did not give Great Britain legal power to take possession of the land won by wager of battle.Having luid down this doc- trîne, Mr Mercier proceeds to the logical deductlon, namely, that whatever property King George con- fincated, the legislature of Quelwe In in duty bound to restore.Had Mr Mercier a good ease, he would not have advanced anything so mons- atroud.As in his pleading with re gurd to the conversion of the debt, when he misrepresents the law by wnrerting that the holder of à promissory note is bound to give it up before maturity ou being tendered the amount with accrued interest, he.with equal audacity, flies in the face of what the world hus, from the enrHest ages, nevepted as undeniable, unwely, that to the victor belongs the spoils.By fate of war Canndu fell to Great Britain, aud the government of Great Britain could do with it an it pleased.If Mr Mercier hedges on this point, and draws a distine- President the retalintory powers he bute is now going on, distinguished the majority there, are in a dilemma, They do not want to pass the bill ing Britain.Canady's attitude meanwhile is all thut could be desired.The injury that the President can rated, but the determination is uni versally expressed (outside the Na- tionul press) to cheerfully bear them rather than yield our rights.Sir John Macdonald was to speak at a picnic yesterday at Beaverton, Ont., cate the course the government will pursue.In England the feoling in to back up Canada.Mr MERCER'S apology for the Jesuit bill substantially rests on two pleas\u2014 1 That the British government had no right to confiscate the Jesuit cstates.2 That be was bound by promises made by his predecessors to effect a settlement.The larger portion of his remarks are devoted to the assertion that winistries previous to his own had formally promised to settle the matter.and that upon his entering office he found himself \u201cobliged to effect a settlement in order to redeem the province\u201d and \u201cto fulfil the engage ment of my predecessors.\u201d This stutement he repeats In many forms, leaving the impression on his heurers that he found himself in a position that compelled him to do what he would rather not have done.Now, what are we ty think of Mr Mercier when it is ascertained that no pre mises, \u201cregistered at Rome\u201d or anywhere else, exist?That his entire pretence, about the province having been committed hy his predecessors to settle the question, is un Jesuiticn] invention?The only shadow of evidence he can produce is the delay granted by one administration in selling the barracks property ut Quebec and Mr Ross's reply to Cardinal Taschereau's intimation that he was authorized to negotiate for a settlement, which ran thus\u2014 If his honor the lieutenant-gover- nor in council decides to re-open and reconsider the question of the Jesuits\u2019 estates, 1 will not fail to notify your grace and the reverend Jesuit fathers.As polite a snub as hs could have written.Even if Mr Mercier could prove that premiers in the past had given promises, that would not bind the provinte, for any such promises wust of necessity have been conditional upon their being ratified by thelegislature.Nor dows (bstrengthen Mr Mercier's case to dilate on how the hierarchy, the clergy, and the Jesuits have protested against the confiscation of the estates and pray, od for their being handed over to them.Everybody knows that when the there is the slightest prospect of obtaining money or property, theclergy will not lose it for want of asking, If be wishes to rake over old docu, ments, be will find petitions and re monstrances from them, in favor of changing from tbe present tithe back to the ancient one of the thirteenth bushel, more voluminous than those he absurdly has affixed to his Jesuit bill Lenving his lairimations about Me THERE is nothing new to tell of the fishery matter.A bill is before the house of representatives to give the usked for in his message, and the de- daily by most offensive speeches towards Canada.The bill will puss the house, hut its fate in the senate is doubtful.The Republicans, who are yet.if they reject it, they will be described as they described the President in the fisheries debate, as favor- inflict by proclamation is not under- when it wns expected he would indi- tiou in favor of
