try to admit of it's being hurried. Time
must be taken to discuss every phase
of it carefully and adopt some plan to
remedy the trouble which exists IN the
province of Manitoba.
The school question is an old and O
sore one, and involves the bitterest kind
of feeling 4 feeling that ranges from
the highest places down to the humblest
home in Winnipeg. Supported by the
state, the parochial schools of the Catho-
lies IN Manitoba have been thorn in the
SIDE of the Orange party in Canada, and
OF even the A. 2. \. party in the United
States. The bill that will precipitate
one of the fercest debates ever heard in
the dominion's halls of legislation pro-
vldes generously for the rehabilitation of
the parochial school system in Manitoba.
Long before the confederation Roman
Catholic minOrities in the provinces set
tied by the British, and the Roman Cath
Ollie majority in Quebec, have stood
stoutly for separately maintained schools
and have demanded national recognition
in that respect. Special provisions were
made IN the British North America act
qualifying the right of the provinces to
make laws governing education One
of these reads as follows: Nothing in
any such law shall prejudcially affect
any right or privilege with respect to
UNCONVENTIONAL schools which any class
of persons have by law in the province
at the union
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1896-01-08

This clause covered the independent
state maintenance of the Manitoban
schools, and undeB the act by which
Manitoba was admitted the Roman Cath
olics there acquired the right of support
for their schools fram the public funds.
After twenty years of this regime the
Manitoban government resolved to found
a system of unsectarian pSRhlic school
education The public schools act passed
in 1890 did away with the public support
of the public schools Since that time
the school question has settled in Mani
toba, and has been ever present as an
undercurrent in parliamentary affairs.
This is the question which today con-
fronts the parliament of the dominion,
and party leaders realize that the stu
alton is grave and the most dangerous
that has faced the government for many

CAssIUs CLAY's CHILD WIFE.
His Eeorts to Educate His ""LtttIe Dora
Have Resulted Poorly.

Lexington, Ky, Dec 22.-Cassus Mar
celluS Clay, whose battles, ON the Ken
lucky hustings while he was engaged
in presenting his theory of tbs. abolition
of slavery have been the theme of many
a romantic story, will soon be the only
one OF the antebellum heroes left. Near
lN aM his Kentucky co-wOrkers have
gone But the sage of Whitehall, as
Gen. Clay is Familiarity called, seems to
grow younger as his years. increase. His
marriage with the little 15-year-old girl,
Dora Richardson, in December of last
year. has changed the whole tenor of his
declining years. Prior to, his maria ge
he imla gined that all his nefghbors were
in league against him., intending to do
him bodily harm His, large house, built
on the plan of a fort. WAS, a vefitable ar
senaL- Now all this is changed. He
has disarmed his men and those of his
employees that he engaged merely for
their fighting qualities have been dis
charged, and WHITEHALL IS NOW at peace
with all the world.
Little Dora" as Gem. Clay calls his
young wife, is exercising q wonderful
influence over him, although she is moth
ing but a child in years and mind. She
had received little. education when he
married her. He procured governess
for her, but the child-wife did not seem
to take to her and a second governess
was employed
The newcomer made little better prog
ress with Dora than her predecessor,
and the general then sent Dora to the
district school near his place.
1t was bitter experience for the child.
She had gone to, the same school before,
when, as Dora Richardson, she wore
only the ccmmoAest calico and the cheap
est shoes and hosiery. But when she
went back to- the little frame school
house as Mrs Cassius NJ. Clay she wore
the finest and most expensive clothing
that money could buy, and at her throat
flashing diamond necklace that had
graced the meek of a Russian princess
when Gen. Clay was the American min
lister to ST. Petersburg. Her schoolmates
teased her numerically, and it is no
wonder that she remained at the district
school but few months. She left the
school two months age, and it is more
than likely that Gen. Clay will make no
more attempts to give her an English
| education.
The old general is as kind to his little
Dora as if she were his great-grand-
daughter He humors her every whim.
and lavishes a great deal of money on
her.
Gen. Clay was drawn to the child in u
peculiar manner. Several years ago
Dora's mother, her baby brother and her
self were walking across the railroad
bridge at Valley View. on the Kentucky
river, not far from Whitehall. A train
came along unexpectedly and the mother
and baby were cut to pieces and killed,
while Dora, who was then about 10 years
old, escaped. Ever since this accident
Gen. Clay has taken a deep interest in
the Richardson family.-NeW York Sun.
