The Jesuit Estate Bill in Canada
By Editor
OUR readers are all familiar with the facts connected with the passage of the Jesuit Estate bill by the Canadian Parliament, and its allowance by the Governor-General of the Dominion. There was great excitement over this at the time, but for some weeks past there has been but little said about it, and it seemed as though public interest in it had fagged. This, however, was not the case, for recent advices from Ottawa state that it is likely to result in the overthrow of the Conservative party. Sir John McDonald is credited with saying, "I am in the worst political dilemma of my life." The Protestants are determined that the Catholics shall no longer rule in Canada. What the result will be no one can certainly foretell.
