The head OF the Dominion government.
pledged to restore separate schools under
the control OF the Roman Catholics, is a
past grand sovereign OF the Orange order,
and is still an active member OF that order.
Mr.. Laurier, who is opposed to the cocr-
cion OF the province by any such legisla-
tioD, is French Canadian Catholic This
ts all the more singular, from the fact that
the Manitoba school question is very largely
a question OF the French race.

people will probably be made. If this
policy is carried out, 1t 10 contendcd that it

adopted there would then remain the task
