|; BISHOPS MUST BEWARE.
Canadians viii Not Stand Too Much Trihins
With Their Liberties.

Toronto, Jan. 1.-Referring to the
report from Montreal that the bishops
will shortly issue abandonment forci-
bly, denouncing the Manitoba school
settlement, and threatening dire dis
aster to any Catholic member of Par
lament who dares not protest against
it the Globe LiberaD says:
The authors of the mandaments
may as well understand that much
more serious consequences are in
volved. 1t is one thing to destroy a
French Canadian journal by terroriz-
ing it's readers and quite another thing
to challenge the Liberal party of Can
ada to a conflict in which the issue will
be the preservation of the freedom of
the press, the freedom of election and
the supremacy Of the state in state
affairs.
I'm that contest the. bishops will
have to reckon with not only Quebec.
but with Ontario and the west. Nor
need they cherish the delusion that the
Liberals will shrink from thu contest.
1t will be a fight in which the French
Canadian will regard the Liberals of
Ontario not as his enemies, but as his
allies
The Main, Conservative referring to
the bishops abandonment suppressing
l. Electeur, says: AN appeal should
be made to the civil tribunals. 1t is
matter of public interest that the sub
ject should be dealt with. To neglect
or refuse to take it up is to agree to the
exercise of banning power
The World Conservative says:
There is no reason why the papers
which have been prosecuted by the
bishops in the recent election should
not use their best endeavors to have
the contested seats re-opened where
the bishops have been guilty of such
practices.
1T is also the duty of Parliament at
the forthcoming session to see that
such legislation is passed as will here
after effectively prevent the bishops
intimidating newspapers, electors or
representatives of the people"

were apprehended by special railroad
detectives in the mountains about 10
miles from the city. The officials posi-
lively refuse to disclose the character
of the evidence against the men, or to
allow any outsiders to communicate
with them. This conduct is explained
by the fact that other arrests, and it is

that there were three or more in the
