Quebec Payment to the Jesuits

CANADIAN Protestants are justly indignant at the action of the Quebec Legislature in voting to pay the Society of Jesus $400,000 in lieu of the estates which George III. confiscated shortly after the conquest of Canada. It is hoped that the Dominion Government will veto the whole business, as it has the power to do. If the award is ever paid, the burden will fall principally upon the Protestants, who pay a large percentage of the taxes in the two cities, Montreal and Quebec.
