RACE AID RELIGION Is CANADA
There are angry and dangerous dIs-en-
.ions IN Canada which have their origin
in differences OF race and religion. The
French Canadians of the province Of
Quebec stand together AS Freuchmen
and Roman Catholics, and TO them are
opposed Canadians Of English decent
and Protestant convictions. This Is
p most unfortunate condition of things
for the Dominion. and the situation
is the mOrs exasperating to the enemies
of the Catholic Frenchmen because the
province of Quebec holds the balance
Of political power in the confederation.
and. therefore. Is able 20 enforce its de-
mands. One of these is the rccOgni
ton Of the French as an official Ian
guage along with the English, and the
other is the maintenance of IT'S Local
laws and customs. including Catholic
system Of public education.
Within few days new fuel has been
added to both the race and the religious
hostility By the refusal of the Governor
General 90 disalow what is known as
the Jesuit Est?tos act. restoring 90 the
Jesuit, the estates of which they were
deprived one hundred years ago. The
last opportunity for his interference
passed on Thursday. and he did
nothing. As a consequence, the
Pr0testants are holding fiery meet

clare their Indignation against Lord
Stanley. and The enmity between Pro
testants and Catholics was never before
