[" THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1908 AS Canadian Gleaner Huntingdon, Que., April 80, 1908 NOTES OF THR WEEK The St.Lawrence being clear of ice, two ocean steamship: were expected at Montreal yesterday.Boats are now running between Montreal and Quebec and the canals open tomorrow, It was announced on Tuesday that La banque St.Jean had gonè out of business and its affairs would be wound up.As the bank had a branch at 8t.Remi, in wifich not a few farmers in 8t.Chrysostom and Hemmingford had deposits, the suspension gives them It is asserted, however, there is not only enough some concern.assets to pay depositors but to give a dividend to shareholders.The notes are perfectly good, being secured by government, and nobody should take less than 100 cents on the dollar for them, The circulation is given at $214,000.Quebec Legislature The legislature ended its session Saturday, a few minutes before midnight.Whether the term of \u2018th ehouse ended then is known only to Mr Gouin.Left to himself he would probably go to the electors at once, but he is held by close connection with Ottawa and will not ask for dissolution until he receives the consent of Sir Wilfrid, who is awaiting the result of the Ontario elections.The proceedings of the last few days at Quebec were the most im- vortant of the session, the ministry introducing their measures and hurrying them thru before members could get à proper understanding of them.The act to amend the license law was submitted by Mr Weir.It largely relates to Montreal and Quebec, whefe the number of licenses is reduced and added powers given the police to enforce the law.Hotel-keepers are forbidden to cash employers\u2019 checks and mail- drivers are to be heavily fined who carry liquor into any no- license municipality and any person found peddling liquor, who bas not a bottler's license, is to be summarily dealt with, Barrooms are to be closed on Christmas, New Year's day, and Locd Friday.On a third conviction for breaking the law, a hotel- keeper is to have his license cancelled.Procedure against per- eons living on the boundary-line, who are prosecuted under the li- oense law, is made more summary.The act was well received by both sides of the house and passed wi.h trifling amendments, The sur prise of the session came on Friday, When the Liberals went ato office, it was on the distinct pledge made by Mr Marchand that an end would be put to the Jonusing of railway companies.\u2018With certain equivocations this pledge has been fairly observed.Thete have boon renewals of Bonuses granted during Conservative rule when about to lapes, and grants made to help to build railway bridges, on the moore that \"they would also be used for muni- sipal purposes, but no straight present of either money or lands Wi bom propoeed uatll Pricey, oe TE BR when a bill was sulimitted to give grants of land to seven compan- les of from 2000 to 4000 acres per mile of railway bulit, the total being Dearly two-and-a- half-million acres of land\u2014equal to 17 counties the sise of Hunt.ingdon.Title tq, fhe snd ls to be given to the companies as they complete ten-mile sections, and the only conältion\u201d ie; \u2018that they do mot charge settzers over $2.50 per acre, Apparently the timber on the land is to belong to the companies, but not mines or minerals.It is said Quebec has the land to give, it is of no use until opened up by railways, and it is better to give it than to continue keeping it idle.Were the companies to which the land is presented projecting rallways intp the wilderness there would be force in this.They are not all of that kind.The Quebee Central, the Mount Orford, the Southern, do not Tun thru gov- land, and to them the grants are bonuses.It ls highly improbable they will ever claim the land-they wilt do as was done by several of these companies before, bring pressure on the government to commute the land for When Flynn was in office there were railway companies who had earned large grants of public lands.They did not want the land.they wanted cash, and so they combined to ernment a\u2019 cash payment.bring pressure on the ministers and engaged a lawyer to lobby at Quebec, with the result that a bill was passed changing the land subsidy into a money one.A loan was made in England to pay the companies and thus the debt wag increased.It will be the same again.Mr Gouin bas committed the province to subsidize certain companies and they will, eventually, get pald as they desire.This bill, opening the treasury to fresh raids by railway speculators, paseed without opposition, not a single member.speaking against its principle.Dominion\u2019 Parliament Mr Monk started a debate that overran several days by moving that the paying of bonuses to agents for sending emigrants to Canada should cease, It was not merely the spending of a million dollars a year in that way to which he objected but to the bonus leading to the shipping of undesirable additions to the population of the Dominion.Mr La- vergne seized the opportunity to advocate special encouragement being given to Induce immigration from France and Belgium and the repatriation of French Canadians resident in the United States, The motion was defeated by 95 to 41.Sir Wilfrid announced the treaty with the U, 8.regarding the mapping of the boundary line and placing the regulation of fisheries in international waters under a \u2018joint commission had been ratified by the US.senate, A result of the treaty will be uniformity as to tlove esaeons and methods of éatohing fa.To & Gspumtion Sir Wilfrid expressed Nis desire to have a neutral sone established [along the boundary, and that will Jikely follow, for the US, gdvern- fine-siores as our own, food pre gress bas been made with business during the week.The esth + Je Ia [ragidly, .+ Went ls as much diagüeted with Thy Msliature of Saskatche- wb Le bel pre ior the organising of high schools, The act was objected to by certain priests because it did not provide for separate schools.The objection was unheeded by their people, who saw that in so sparsely settled a country it was going to be difficult to get puplis for one high sehool in a district, let alone two.They wanted no separate high schools; they were content with public high schools, and the act became law.Mr La- vergne, however, must needs in terfére: the Catholics of Bas- katchewan were satisfied but he was not, and he put a question to the ministers at Ottawa with a view to having the law enacted by the Saskatchewan legislature vetoed, Attorney-general Ayles- worth.- Apalysed jthe legislation complained of and demonstrated it did not violate clause 16 of the autonomy act, snd, therefore, the had no power to veto it.Mr Lavergne had to admit there was no direct violation, but insisted the Saskatchewan statutes \u201chave a strong flavor of illegality\u201d whi.h, be contended, was sufficient to justify their Mr Bergeron would not assert the legislation of the western province was ultra vires, the furthest he could go was to declare \u201cit is not according to the spirit of the autonomy bilL\u201d Sir Wilfrid pointed out no government could disallow.- statutes shadowy grounds\u2014the atatutes complained of must be palpably in violation of the autonomy act to justify their being quashed.The debate, brief as it was, confined to four speakers, was full of significance to the people of the Northwest for it showed the attitude of the Quebec members towards them.Mr Bergeron accompanied Mr Borden on his tour of last fall across the continent.Wherever he spoke he was cheered and accepted as a {ine representative of the class ta, which he belongs.Now, what are the views of Mr Bergeron as laid down in his speech of the 218?Let him be judged by his own words.He described the law which he wished vetoed\u2014 An act of infamy and a lack of good faith on the part of the Saskatchewan government towards the minority of that province., I am not speaking about privileges, but their legal constitu- tiongl rights.When the right hon.Prime minister (Sir Wilfrid Laurier) brought down the meagure to grant autonomy to the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan there was, in the firsi instance, incorporated in that measure clause 16 which was in accordanc?wi.h what we th.uzh.to be the constitution of the Northwest Territories as embodied in the statute of 1875, and which gave to the minority of these provinces entire autonomy and the rights and privileges to which they were entitled.The question at issue is not whether Catholics should have echools of their own, that is for themselves to decide, but whether money, levied upon the people as a whole is to be taken to maintain these schoole.Mr Ber- geron says yes, they have a right to ENTIRE AUTONOMY, which means they have a right to draw upon the public treasury not only money to méintain schools, but also eeparate prisons, separate hospitals for their sick, separate asyjums for their insane, deaf- mutes, blind, separate refuges for their poor and infirm\u2014that Just Dominion government disallowance, on such mates are now being Free vo me Ngics creed they ard to bs 4 community by themselves and to\u2019 have institutions of their own supported, not by their own contributions, but by the taxas of their fellow-subjects, The prin- clple here demanded for the Northwest is destructive of all unity, it necessitates one measure of dealing by their legislatures for Catholics and an entirely other for those who do not It implies more.If public monies are to b> allotted by the Northwest legislatures according to creed, then it follows the official representatives of the creed that calls for special privileges has a right to dictate to these legislatures wha! they are to do.Hear, again, for profess their creed.| what Mr Bergeron told the house of commons on Tuesday of week\u2014 last When the delegate who represents the highest authority of the Catholic church accepied the second clause of 16, was he told that before a year the government of Saskatchewan was going to give the lie to all the promises which had been made to him.and the minority would ba forced to contribute towards the building of schools which their children would not be allowed to attend?Mr Sam Hughes\u2014Are we to understand from the hon.gentleman (Mr Bergeron) that the amended clause No.16 had to be submitted to the delegate of Rome before it could be passed by the Cgnadian government?Mr Bargeron\u2014I will {ell my hon, friend this, and with his usual intelligence he can draw his own conclusions; I can tell him that when it was decided to substitut the present clause 18 for the original clause 16 It was explained to the delegate.My hon.friend (Mr Hughes) can draw all the conclusions he wants from that.There is no mistaking what Mr Before the prosum-d to Bergeron mtates, house of commons vote on the autonomy bill, it had first to be submitted to and approved by an eccleslastic who 13 not even a British subject.When the supreme legislative body of the Dominion thus bows to cjerj- cal dictation, will the legislatures of the Northwest not come to the same pass if they once admit the sectarian element into the framing of their laws and the distribution of their revenues?Îf the young provinces wish to remain free to rule themselves, free from the dictation of any church, free in knowing no distinction as to creed in framing their statutes, free in distributing their revenues dealing out the same measure to all, they must not yield an inch to the pretension set up by Mr Bergeron, of entire autonomy for their Catholic populations, And let these provinces, the hope of Canada, not deceive themselves as to their fancied security from the danger here indicated, The richest, most influential, most highly organized corporatior on the continent has the fixed purpose of making them as nearly like Quebec as circumstances per- that end

extreme Conservative, Bergeron\u2014when the ab-legate gives the word they obey.The next few years will be critical of the future for the provinces of the Northwest.As the prow of a ship ls pointed

late in the fall of 1822, with a letter of récommendation to Hugh Brodie of Petite Cote, At that time there was a call for ministers in Upper Canada,where McWattie oould have been speedily placed, but there wag an insuperable obstacle \u2014 he had no credentials, so the clergymen of Quebec and Montreal could not give him the right hand of fellowship.That he bad been educated and licensed for the ministry has been mistakenly denied, for there is proof of his having attended arts: classes in Glasgow college and hig having been ll censed by the Oid Light Burgher Presbytery of the same city.The following year he was inducted ap minister over a congregation of that branch of the Presbyterian church at Kennoway, in Fife- shire.What followed is unknown but may be guessed, from the entry In the minutes of the same presbytery, that in the spring of 1820 he was suspended from the ministry for drunkenness, \u2018After t he probably made a living by teaching school, for when he came to Canada he had the training of a teacher.Unable to place him in the city.Hugh Brodie sent him to his brother-in-law Robert Brodie, in the expectation that be might be of use to the settlers on the Chateauguay.He was made welcome, for they lacked both a achoolmaster and a minister.He was ofgood presence, fresh cok ored, strongly built, and of free, affable manners, Peter Macarthur gave him a disused shanty a8 a home, and after new year, 1828, he and bis wife, with their baggage, were driven in sleighs, The wife was lady-like and bad an air of sadness that was habitual to her.There was no children.An outhouse was given by Brodie as a school, and here Mo- Wattie taught the children of the settlement, preaching in it on Sunday.An effort was at onoe made to erect a church, and a meeting for that purpose was held forthwith, In the Gleaner of the 26th March was given a list of the names of the subscribe ers and of the steps taken towards building.All went on to} erably well, The church was roughly finished to permit of its use by the close of the year.Mo.Wattle, who had up to this cone ducted himself with passable pro vriety had then so gross a lapse Into his old habit that, the sete

instant for full steam astern, in an endeavor to clear the cruiser, but it was too late, the St.Paul struck the man-of-war amidships, penetrating 20 feet into her, and making a gap 40 feet wide.As the St.Paul backed out, the water poured into the ironclad and it was seen she must soon sink.The Gladiator\u2019s men gave a magnificent demonstration of discipline, At the captains command they formed in line on the deck and stood in ranks while the cruiser settled down, In obedience to orders successive batches marched to the gangways and entered the boats, until practically the whole crew had been taken off and landed at Yarmouth, on the Isle of Wight.The Gladiator's crew numbered 450 men, and \u201c 2, New Erin.200|Capt.Walter Lumsden, true to \u201c 5.Riverbank.200|naval traditions, was
