Bishop Usher's Fears OF Religious
War In Canada.

MONTREAL, March 6.-Conslderable ex-
citement was caused yesterday when il be-
came known that the Jesuits had entered ae-
tion against the Toronto Mail for $4,000
damages for libel The special complaint Of
the plaintiffs Is that the Mail published an
alleged oath taken by all Jesults, In which
the Pope is aekno owleged as their spiritual
and temporal head, and reDounee all allegi-
ance to any heretlcal king. prince or state
named Protestant, and that In all things
Catholic the end justihes the means. The
heads Of the order here declare this 10 be
false and malicious, and published only to
create Protestant prejudice against them.
This action by the members Of the Society Of
Jesuits has served % further inhame the
Protestants.
Rev. Bishop Usher, Of the Reformed
Episcopal Church Of this city. says In a letter
published in the Mail: "As a man Of peace.
say to Protestants, put forth your power to
prevent war. civil war. for come il will"
In regard to this alarming statement the
bishop said that the Protestant and Catholic
population of Quebec and Ontario are work
ed up on the Jesuit question, and there Is
certainly danger OF a religious war. COntinu-
ing, he added; IL desire to see all have what
/ would desire TO have for myself, the fullest
religious liberty to worship as my conscience
dictates, but In the Province OF Quebec the
Church Of Rome Is practically the state
church.
1T rules the province and rules 10 its iniu-
ry, as seen In the dwarfed city Of Quebec,
where Rome has undisputed sway. The aim
OF Rome Is 70 make IL the state church Of the
Dominion. That the aim will be frustrated
we all fOresee, but there Is vast difference
in opinions as TO the way IT will be done, and
for the welfare of Canada, let IL be remem-
bered that the easiest Is the best way, and
ballots are better than bullets. Let every
Protestant use them with effect. Let the Do
minion Parliament be dissolved and the
country be appealed TO on the Jesuit bill

The bill to repeal the law which makes
the Secretary Of the State Board of Agricul-

OF Agriculture made an interesting debate In
the Senate today. The Hon. 2. A. Gilbert
Is the e1-otscio gentleman whom the bill is
aimed at. 1t was rather a rough day for the
secretary Senator Heath led off, showing
how Mr.. Gilbert had blocked the way in the
investigation of the outbreak of tuberculosis
at the college.
Senator Libby read from the Maine
Farmer an article showing that the herd
that was killed at the college had been
borght and put on the farm by Mr.. Gilbert
without authority from anyone.
Mr.. Heath then read an editorial written
by Mr.. Gilbert for the Maine Farmer in
which members Of the legislative COMMITTEES
on agriculture who had voted against an in
crease OF $1,000 in the appropriation
for institute work were paraded
before the farmers of Maine as
untrue to the interests of agriculture, IL so
happened that the men who voted against
the increase were some of the best farmers
in Maine, like Hall Buregh of Vassalboro.
and Representative Cain Of Clinton. Senator
Heath made some scathing comments on this
editorial, and said that it was time for this
er-oftci0 gentleman to step out.
