April 5th, 1555. *2: An Unhapoy Family. The members of the Dominion Cab- inet must be a miserably unhappy fam- ily just at present, and the papers are full of evidences of their disagreements. A very few weeks ago a general election was considered imminent and candidates were nominated at a. great rate; then the much talked of'“rcmedial order” was passed and a session of Parliament was announced; and now no One would be surprised if an explosion that blew the Government to pieces took place at any moment. But what else can you expect? Politics, like poverty, “makes one acquainted with strange b::d-fcl- lows,” and the incongruous crew who are running the country have trcated‘ the world to the improving spectacle of a “ combine " with a boss Orangeman 'at its head trying to induce an unwilling province to accopt Separate Schools. Of course there is no end of trouble in the camp, and it is almost inevitable that something serious will happen be- fore long.. Clarke Wallace is boiling- .over with indignation and would no doubt vacate his position on the “ door- step," as somebody calls-ih'if it weren’t for the annual stipend of $5,000, which has a molii-fy‘i'ng effect, but which the Toronto News is so unreasonable as to ask him to rcsigu if he is not in accord with the Government on the Manitoba school question ; but C. W. knows, if the News doesn’t, that it would be mighty hard for him to earn $5,000 a year half as easily at any other job, and he is not likely to give if up to save his principles from an occasional laceration. A few days ago the startling announce- ment that Sir C. H. Tupper had resign~ ed was sprung upon the afl‘righted Tories, and: while the papers were busy trying to prove that he was a traitor, or a statesman and a patriot. Sir Hibbert bobs up serenely and declares that he didn’t do it, and, what is more, that he never said he’d- do it, and never meant to do it, either. Evidently somebody has told what the girls call a “ tarradid- dle,” but whether it; was Sir Hibbert or the reporters is yet to be proved. That the incongruous crew are at sixes and sevens is quite certain, and nobody believes that the statements to that effect are inventions of the wicked Grits. Opposed to Public Schools. The Canadian C/uu'cllmun, in an editorial on the public school question, says :â€" “ Churchmon have got to wake up to ascnse of responsibility in the (Manitoba school) matter. They owe it to God, their Church. their children and to posterity. They show a wonderful shamelessness in the tune of having so long permitted the Roman Church to fight singlehandcd in this conflict for Christian education. Let Churchmcn arise in their might and demand equal rights, and protest against any action that would reduCu their Church to the level of the meanest Protestantscct, and deprive them of the Godâ€"given right and duty of having their children taught the truth as they believe it. This Pub- lic school system, with all its extrava- gant expense, does not educate; it can- not teach religion, and is fair to none. ‘ N d-l ' . :z’ -* ' "arties wishing to borrow on these tertnsl “gs-GOTOegg-[Luéicg‘gsmciuudnc:;o?;,:ea;: lthc things of supreme importance. Good citizenship now and eternal life hereafter are involved. Let Church-é men join in the demand for Separate, given to the Rnnun Church be conceded to everybody who desires it and on the same terms." The above psl'azrapll is open to the construction that the writer of it is t 0pp088d '0 Publlo‘ SChOOlS; for, if his who went into the house and was borror- i advice be taken and every denomination stricken to find his wife lying back in a demand aschool to which its particular chair and gasping for breath. 31", was religious tenets are to be mculcated,thc carried to a lounge and a memenner public schools will have to go, as there will be nobody left to support them.l That such a thing will happen is not at l all likely, as the Protestant sects are neither foolish enough nor bigoted attack, enough to go to war with each other in the manner suggested. That. the public school system badly needs revising and correcting will, We think, be generally admitted, and complaints of its “ ex- travagant expense ” are constantly being made; but, though an immense major- ity of the sufferers from the system would vote to have it thoroughly over- hauled, there are not many who would favor its abolition. The school system would have been all right, and produc- tive of unmixed good, but for the inter- ference of zealots lay and clerical. The clerical zealots insist upon forcing the bible into the schools, the result of which is discord; and the lay zealots insist upon forcing in a string of sub- jects that are useless except to a very few, and ought not to be taught at the public expense, and the result is widely spread dissatisfaction. Writers of such articles are in the Protestant Church what we are told the Jesuits are in the Catholic Church. and, if they could. would put the education ot'thc youth of the land under the control of their own particular “ hierarchy.” But the people are too enlightened to submit their necks to the yoke. and, if they were as wise as they ought to be, they would insist upon the utter exclusion from the public schools of everything bearing the most remote resemblanceto religious teaching. Why schools should be called “ Godless ” if they are not opened with prayer, any more than plaCes of business in which there is no religious ceremony of any kind, we do not know, but they are; and it is be- cause the luity, as :1 rule. are afraid of the clergy. and because people cannot see that it is just as reasonable to insist upon teaching reading, writing, arith- metic, etc., in Sunday schools as it is to teach religion in the secular schools, that all the trouble has arisen. The Late deremiathwomey. Mr. Jeremiah Twomey, Sr., who died on the 28th ult. in the 76th year of his age, was not only one of the oldest but one of the most generally esteemed res- idents of Fenelon Falls, and during his last illness and since his death chry reference to him showed the kindly feel- ing with which he was regarded by all! who knew him. It can safely be said that everybody liked “Jerry ” Twomey, and no wonder, for he was “ honest as the sun,” kind-hearted, friendly and charitable, and ready to take any trouble at a moment's notice to do an acquaint- ance, or even a stranger, a good turn. Mr. Twomey was born in County Cork, Ireland. where he learned the black~ smithing trade, and emigrated to Can- ada in 1853. After working for some months in l’etcrborough, he came in. '854 to F'enclon Falls with the late Captain Wallis, did all the blacksmith work for the first mill ever built in the village and also for the steamer Oqcmah, after which he went into business for himself. In 1859 he was married to Mary Ann, oldest daughter of Mr. Pat- rick Power. of Vcrulam, and eleven children, five sons and six daughters, weretborn. The house on Bond street in which he died was built for him in 1854, and about five years later he bought the lot at the south-east corner of Colborne and. Francis streets on 'which the Twomey brick block, built in 1877, now stands. Three years ago he retired from business, and not very long afterwards it began to be noticed; that he was failing rapidly for so strong and rugged looking a man. Ten weeks be- fore his death he had a slight stroke of paralysis, from which be partially rc- covercd. and was able to walk about the house until within about a week of the end. He was buried on Saturday in the Catholic cemetery, Vernlam. and the very large attendance at the funeral from both town and country showed the estimation in which he was held. He lower; a widow, two sons and six daugh- ters, four of the latter being nuns. A Terriblsr Sudden Death. We regret to have to announce the sudden death of Mrs. Joseph Heard, which took place about 9 o'clock last Tuesday morning, and when the un- welcome news spread through the village many were inclined to doubt its correct- 11058, as it was generally believed that she was in the best of health. It ap- 'in the brain bud burst. was sent for Dr. Graham, who reached the house in less than five. minutes, but his patient lived barely a quarter of an hour from the. emlruoucemout ot the The doctor says that apoplexy was the cause of tie-1th. hull-:2 ~urn that, from the symptoms, a bind sesscl Mrs. Heard was an amiable and kindly wo-uau, :1. good neighbor and a mod :1 wife and‘ mother, but she went from home so seldom that many of the villagers wore but slightly acquainted with her. We need scarcely say that the bereavc-l husband and family of six children have the genuine sympathy of all who have heard of their irreparable loss. Will Heard got home on Wednesday night from Chicago, accompanied by his uncle and aunt, Dr. and \irs. Berry, of that city, and Mr. Wm. Heard of anman- ville was also at the funeral. which took placc yesterday,.aud was, notwithstand- ing the state of the roads, one of tho largest we cvnr saw at the Falls. â€"-_____.___ Village Council Proceedings.
