THE DEBS CASE.

United States Supreme Court Listening to
Arguments.
WASHINGTON. March 2G.-The United
States supreme court has began the
hearing of arguments of the case Of
Eugene V. Debs and others. The coun-
sci numbered three on the side of the
defendants, headed by Hon. Lyman
Trumbull. and including Messrs. S. s.
Gregory and g. S. barrow. Attorney
General Olney, Assistant Whitney and
Edwin Walker, special United States
attorney, appeared for the government.
The proceedings in the court developed
that the question at issue was not COM
plex. Debs and his associates ask for a
writ of habeas corpus relieving them
from tho sentence passed upon them by
Judge Woods. The fact was also de-
veloped that the main contention Of the
petitioners wonld be that the original
bill stated no case cognizable in chan
Gerry and that therefore the injunction
was void, and that the persons at whom
it was aimed were not bound to OBJ
serve it,

We K IL eVes

Indicate. as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything that the Or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nouriishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, inn
pure or insufficient, they arc in a state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation of tho whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the hcaltlful nourislmcnt they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

Manitoba Objects to an Order
of the Dominion Con-
eminent
RESTORING SEPARATE SCHOOLS
Open Revolt Threatened If the
Decree Is Not Re-
SCinded,

WINNIPEG, March 26.-Public feeling
Is waxing very warm over the action Of
the Dominion government in ordering
Manitoba to restore the separate Catho-
lie parochial schools. In all Methodist
pulpits Sunday the pastors preached
strong sermons against any Interior
ence with Manitoba's national school
system. The feeling Of those present
was evidenced by the liberal applause
which followed almost every special
point made by the preachers.
The remedial order of the Dominion
government, compelling the province to
grant separate schools, has arrived, but
just what action the Greenway govern
ment will take is not known, although
there is not the slightest doubt that it
will not obey the order.
The Dominion's Order.
The remedial order ret1u SITS that the
Manitoba government re-enact the
school law OF 1890, abolishing the Ro-
man Catholic schools, and that they
give:
First-The right to build, maintain,
equip, manage, conduct and support
Roman Catholic schools in the manner
provided Tor by the statutes which were
repealed by the acts of 1890.
Second-The right to share proper
tianately in any grant made out of the
public funds for the purpose of educa-
ton.
Third-The right of exemption Of
such Roman Catholic schools from all
payment or contribution to the support
of any other schools.
Means Open Revolt.
A movement is on foot to get up q
monster demonstration, at which the
remedial order and the members of the
Dominion cabinet will be burned in
effigy.
This is unprecedented. 1t means
open conflict between Manitoba and the
Dominion. The storm which has been
lowering over the country so long is
likely to break forth in Jury very soon.
1t is war so bitter that it
may wreck the confederation of
the Dominion, if calm counsel, now
unheeded, does not prevail. The Catho-
lies are fighting for their parochial
schools, while the Protestant majority,
with equa. resoluteness, declares that
the parochial schools recently abolis b ed
by act of the Manitoba legislature shall
never be re-established.
