THE ISSUE IN CANADA.
Manitoba WIN X rslst ANY Attempt t.

Manitoba VIII X 'sist ANY Attempt t.
Restor- X, man CHti o iu Schools.
Winnipeg, Manitoba. June 21.-The re
reply OF III Manitoba government
adopted by the Legislature, defiantly
refusing to obey the order of the COVER
nor-general to restore Roman Catholic
Aberdeen last night. Premier Green
way said lie feared that the Roman
Catholics of Quebec and Ontario would
now force the Dominion government to
pass remedial legislation, overriding
the Manitoba national school act. ''It
will be an unfortunate position" de-
clared the premier, but we shall follow
the re-establishment of Roman Catholic
schools to the bitter end, Manitoba will
never be coerced.'
1t was suggested that to resist the
higher authority would mean revolution.
To this the premier said: "Those who
talk of revolution talk nonsense. We
shall find other and constitutional
means. If the Dominion government
passes legislation disallowing our school
act, we can alter its phraseology some
what so as to make it a new act, but
with the same effect and then call n
special session of the Legislature and
have it re-enacted. We can re-enact as
fast as the Dominion government can
disallow.'
This idea of the premier's is CON
tingency that the supporters of Roman
Catholic schools have never thought of.
and is likely to cause CONSERVATION
among them.

AFTER THE BATTLE,
How tho Opposing Factions Feel About

How tho Opposing Factions Feel About
the Action of the Republican League.
Cleveland, June 22.-While the silver
men are not jubilant. they express the
utmost satisfaction with the result of the
fight in the Republican League conven-
ton. Here we are, small minority"
said John II. Byrnes of Denver tonight,
land we have held our ground. With
all the odds against us, there will not be
word against silver. We shall enter
the national convention next year with
perfectly free field in which to make
our fight for recognition. 1t Is not all
we hoped for, but 1t is all we could pos
sibly expect. We are content"
That expresses the sentiment of nine
tenths of the silver advocates. Among
many of the Eastern delegates the feel
ing prevails that too much Of victory
has been allowed the silver men, but
they are consoled by the fact that the
action Is in accord with the league con-
stitution. 1t Is true that resolutions
were adopted at Denver last year, but
then, they say. a bad precedent should
not be followed. They feel that they
have emerged from complication that
threatened to damage the league and
embarrass the party. Harmony is ac-
cepted as fair price for the sacrifice.
The local papers tried to interview del
egates on the report of the committee on
resolutions. The free silver men all
expressed satisfaction, and the anti-sil-
yer men, as rule would not express
any opinion. Senator Thurston of Ne
braska, leader against free silver, said:
1.-The report was entirely consistent
with the league organization, but
should have preferred n disclaimer of
any authority or purpose to make 4
platform or commit the party, followed
by such resolutions as would express the
views of these assembled delegates, on
political issues. / am in favor of i'm
proving the financial plank of the last
Republican platform"
Mr.. Churchill of Colorado said the
convention had not the courage to eN-
press any opinion on anything. and 1t
would be difficult TO outline plans for
organization.
Mr.. Green, president of the New York
league, said the convention had resolved
itself into nonentity. He insisted on
the meeting hearing Professor George
G. Gunton of New York, who had been
invited here to address the organizers
and officers on plans and principles. In
this meeting, as in the convention. Penn
sylvania opposed New York. Although
1t was known that General McAlpine
wanted Bowling made secretary. and
New York cast her solid vote for Dowl-
ing, yet Pennsylvania voted for Byrnes
Of Colorado when the tide was tending
strongly toward Bowling.
