ship to the Premiership Hinges on
the Outcome-Both Parties Strong and
Pugnacious.
[By Telegraph to the Evening Journall
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept 30-The govern
ment has received a memorial from Arch.
bishop Tache of the Manitoba diocese,
asking that the previous petitions from
the hierarchy, requesting relief for the
Catholic minority in Manitoba, be con-
sidered, now that the imperial privy
council in the highest court in the en-
pire has maintained the constitutionality
of the law abolishing separate schools in
Manitoba.
When the question came up in the do
minion parliament the government was
glad to escape the responsibility Of de-
Gliding it, by referring it TO the privy
council and quieted the clamor ON both
sides by announcing that the costs of ap-
peal would be borne by Canada. Now
the matter looms up again and will doubt
less cause a division in the cabinet, unless
some loophole is discovered
II will no doubt have an important
bearing on the succession to the pre-
miership as Sir John Thompson who is
looked upon as the coming man, is a
Catholic and will no doubt side with his
co-religionists He will have to meet the
strong opposition Of Ontario's represen-
tatives, who were kept in the back
ground during the reference to the privy
council, but will now come to the front
again, backed up by members of parlia-
ment not in the cabinet, who will urge
them on to resist the appeals and allow
no interference in the prairie province.
The Catholics of Manitoba are backed
up by the French of both parties in
Quebec. OF course the law must stand
as there is no legal resort beyond the
privy council, and politicians are anx-
ious to see how the government will
move in this weighty matter.
