patch to the Herald says: IF Manito-
ba is not at an early date the theater
of another rebellion that will threaten
the national and religious peace of the
entire dominion, and all on account of
the present school agitation. it will
not be the fault of the politicians and
journalists of the prairie pro-
vince. The large grange element
of Manitoba is frenzied in it's hostility
to the action of the dominion gov
ernment in calling upon the prov
ince to do justice to the Roman Catho-

expected when the communication
from Ottawa is taken up in the provin-
cial legislature at Winnipeg. Premier
Greenway's own organ. the Tribune, is

9, when sensational developments are
expected. In the meantime, the ques-
is proposed to hold meeting TO
get the feeling of farmers on the

vided as to the line of action to be
adopted in respect to the remedial or

May 9, it will be for the purpose Of
discussing the remedial order and
drafting reply to his excellency. the
governor general, in council, and that
object will unquestionably be carried
out. 1t is understood the policy of the
opposition will be to declare for the
secularization of all the schools when
the legislature meets again.
