Tlie secoud reading of the Manitoba •oereion bill was pasaed io tlie Houso of Commons ou Friday last by a ma- jority of tigliteeu, and the govern- meat, which fiuds itself so strongly supported, has announced its inten- tion of forcing the bill to a tliivd read- ing before Bdjomnment, or before the legal life of parliament expiies on April 2*. In the meantime a depu- tation or commission, consisting of Messrs. Uickcy, DeBJaidinta, and Bii Donald Smith.ttccompanied by Father Laconib, has gone to Winnipeg to ne- gotiate with Mr. Grecnway 1 Tins is the condition of aiTiiir& at the present moment. Whatever be tlie result of this conference the govciumeut is de- termined to push tliu bill to a iioal reading. They will put it tlirougli in any event in order to force Manitoba into subjection, la this connection we would draw attention to an article elsewhere eniitled "Will tlity oat fried eel ?" It seems tliat the eel must be skinned if it docs not slip oat of the clutches of Its butclieri at Uitawa. Why the government should persist in its suicidal policy is a marvel. It actually appears to bavo been going bhndly through with this matter from the beginning, regardless of conse- quences. And we can tell it that the consequences will be serious, if pro- testantism, Orangeism and Equal Rights mean anything. ISy thiH one act it is laying a strong foundation for the stai liiiij of an t^itation to do away with separate schools through- out the Dominion, nveii tliougli the Dritibli North Anierican Act has to bo remodelled. At the proHeiii mo- ment the peop'e of this cunnlry are standing aghast at the audacity of a moribund, decayed government such as we now have, passing legislaiion fraught with such serious possibilities. They did iini believe it of them. They will never submit to it. Cockbuni, Colter, Craiu, DaTie», DdW- snii, Edgur, Edwards, F«u»el.
