Montreal, June 25.-For the first time
in eighteen years, and the second IN
the history of this country, the Liberal
party Is In power. The premier, Will
frid Laurier, is a French-Canadian
Roman Catholic. and will be the first OF
his race and the second Of his creed to
be In command of the government.
The only other Catholic who attained to
the prime ministership was the late Sir
John Thompson, and his position came
to him as a cabinet selection, and was
not won as the leader of his party at the
polls. Singularly enough. one Of the Is.
sues Of the campaign which brought
victory to Laurier was his opposition
to the course pursued by the govern
ment in attempting to force Manitoba
to maintain the separate Catholic
school system which was in vogue
when she entered the confederation,
and the maintenance Of which was
guaranteed in perpetuam.
According to the latest election re-
turns, the Liberals will have a clear
majority Of twenty-five over all fac
tions. The complexion Of the next
