Minister of Justice Tnpper Believes the Dominion Parliament Can 'Work Its Will in Any Province in Canada. Montreal, December 27. The cam paign in Center Montreal closed last night with two meetings one in Grlf fintown for McSbane and one In Wind sor Hall for Sir William Hlngston. Both sides are confident. The common opinion is that the Liberal candidate has good reason for hope, and will probably be elected. At the Windsor Hall meeting the principal speaker was Sir Hibbert Tupper. In view of the Manitoba an ewer to tbe remedial order, bis re marks on the school question are Inter esting. He declared that, though Catholic minister and . a Protestant member had left the government, its policy had always remained the same down to the present. If they could not stand by the constitution, then oonfed eration was a myth and should be broken up. He stated emphatically THE CREIGHTON that tbe ffovereneeblntended to carry out the decUtoo of the privy council. In reply to a statement tbat parlia ment could not coerce Manitoba, he said he believed parliament could work 1U will to any province of tbe Domin ion. Thev bad tried to Induce Mani toba of It own volition to carry out the terms of the Judgment of tbe privy council, but were now face to face with a refusal. C No' member of the cabinet would shrink from his duty. They would carry out their pledge. Montreal. December 27.-Tbe con test in Montreal Center to-day Is the most Interesting tbe city has had for twenty years, and recalls that of 1873, when Judge J otto defeated bir oeorge Cartier, the gnat lsue being the New Brunswick school question. To-day It Is the Manitoba school question. Tbe constituency, which contains 10,000 voters, has been canvassed over and over again by both parties. This morn ing both candidates claim they will get a majority. Tbe constituency com prises two! French wards, the East and Center, tho English Protestant the West and tbe Irish Catholio St. Anoe. It Is conceded tbat Hlngston will se cure a majority In the Wet ward, the great wholesale and banking business portion of tbe city, owing to tbe efforts of the upholders of the national policy, comprising Senator Drummond, the sugar-refinery king; Gault, the cotton king, and Ogllvle, the flour king. Mo- Shane will get a majority in the East ward; the Center ward will probably be a little in favor of Hlngston. une great question is, How will St. Anne's go? The population in tmswara is two-thirds Irish Catholic, the remain der Protestant and French-Canadian. McSbane depends on his popularity personally to destroy Curran's major itv of 1.214. The Frenoh Tory papers have beeu appealing to the French Catholics to stand for Hlngston and remedial legislation and take up tbe challenge thrown down by the Orange fanatics In Cardwell. Bishop Perry's Position. Dubuque, Iowa, December 29. Bishop Henry G. Perry's address to the Sons and Daughters of the Revolu tion, at tbe golden jubilee celebration of St. John's Episcopal Church, this morning, was an argument In favor of British influence in American affairs. England, be declared, held America from ocean to ocean by right of the discoveries of Cabot, Frobisher, Drake, Raleigh and others, and by right of exploration and colonization. Colum bus discovered only San Salvador, and the explorations of Jollet Marquette and La Salle, who were more- politi cians than priests, were of no value to civilization. England civilized North America against the opposition of the Latin races and the Romish churoh, and for all that is good in her civiliza tion America, whloh has become the greater Britain, Is indebted to Eng land.

The Conservatives are organizing to make a strong fight against Premier Greenway at the elections on January 15. They do not expect to defeat him on his school policy, but are making an attack on his general administration work and alleging that all the regis tration lists have been stuffed. In this city it was thought that the Green way candidates would have a walk over, but Ex-Mayor Taylor, it is under stood, will contest one of the seats; and, as he is personally very popular, will make a strong run, Candidates were nominated on both sides by con ventions held In several parts of the province to-day. By-Elections Discouraging. St. Paul, Minn., December 31. A Winnipeg special to the Pioneer-Press says: "H. P. Roblln, leader of the op position, was unanimously nominated to-day to oppose Premier Greenway's candidate, Woodland. There is a gen' eral opinion here that the Dominion government, as a result of the recent defeats In the by-elections in Cardwell, Montreal, Center and Jacques Cartier, will have greatly to modify its school policy It It Intends to remain in office. It must not coerce Manitoba. The re sult of the recent by-elections would seem to justify the Dominion govern ment in proceeding cautiously. A Sw Danger. And now it Is announced from Brazil that a "Coagress of American Repub lics" is proposed, to embrace every re public In North, Central and South America Including the United States, Mexico, etc. This congress will be made up of representatives from all the countries embraced. Such an alliance would be largely preponderated by Rome the United States standing alone all others being under control of the Jesuits, and even this country, without doubt, would be represented by that class to a large extent. It would be a great antl- Protestant federation, The scheme is suspicious. Boston Citi zen. Dr. Kay's Renovator, a positive cure for nervousness, constipation, dyspepsia and liver disorders. See advt BEER MONKS TO 00. A Red-Hot Fight Being Waged Against the Brewery of St. Vincent's Catholic Abbey. Father Eittell Scores the Brewing PrtesU and Tells Hw Tory Hare Ruined Boys lias Keea Beys Drunk at a Church Pirair. The Catholio war against the "holy" brewery conducted by tbe monks of St Vincent's Arch Abbey, Beatty, Pa., which aroused such excitement in the big Catholio total abstinence conven tion in this city a few weeks ago, is being carried on with renewed vigor. In a recent letter to Catholic newspa pers, Rev. Father Klttell, of Loretto, Pa., gives some interesting faction the ganeral situation and makes tome cauttlo comments. Among other things he says that about 2,600 barrels of beer are now annually brewed at Bt Vincent', one half ef which is con sumed by the monks and the other half sold 1o Pennsylvania saloon-keepers, to pay governmental internal rev enue taxes; and be adds tbat tbe ven erable arcbabbot of St. Vincent's ap peared twice last year before the inter ral revenue commissioner at Washing ton, to get the government to remlttbe tax, but without success. Father Klttell estimates that the brewery sales net tbe monks 110,000 a year, and that, but for their home brewery, the 121 priests, deacons, lay brothers and clericals at St Vincent's would be pay ing an annual beer bill of 16,000 for beer consumed by them. "Think of that, ye Catholics of America," says Father Klttell. "How does It strike you tbat 23,300 gallons of beer, of which five per cent or 1,168 gallons are pure alcoholic poison, are required each year, at a cost of 116 a day, to slake the thirst of one religious community in the United States? What adds to the scandal is the fact that a Catholic school with 250 students is conducted at St Vincent's abbey; and although the monks claim that beer is not given to tbe students, Father Klttell declares he is credibly Informed that at church picnics con nected with the abbey from 50 to 100 men have been seen drunk on the "holy" beer; that fights abound; and, he adds, "I know of a lady who curses the day she sent her son to St. Vin cent's college. They are now men gone to destruction, and she traces their downfall to that brewery." A Voice reporter spoke to Martln I. J. Griffin, of Philadelphia, the other day about the fight against St. Vin cent's brewery. Mr. Griffin, who Is editor of Oriffin'$ Journal, and one of the leading Catholic Prohibitionists of the United States, regards the fight as a most hopeful feature. He said: "Three years ago I directed at ten tlon in my paper to St. Vincent's brew ery, run by monks of St Benedict, near Pittsburg. It aroused the temperance societies throughout the country, and their indignation culminated at the annual meeting In New York, where they demanded that this pious brewery should cease operations The Bene dictines still carry on the bulsness, however. "The monks and the rest of the Catholics will get very tired of this fight as Father Klttell is carrying 'it on. Besides atber Kitten, ine ualho- Ik Citizen, of Milwaukee, has taken up the cause, which gives me great hope and indicates a wide-spread sentiment of opposition to the saloon. The Citizen denounces the St. Vincent brewery In unmeasured terms in every Issue. We will win and compel this brewery scan dal to the Catholio church to close Its doors. "My personal experience," continued Mr. Griffin, "proves my claim that be lief in the prohibition of the liquor traffic is getting a firm hold among Catholics. Upon going to a building association meeting a few evenings ago, an association controlled by Catholics, one of the directors announced publicly that he was a total abstainer and was logically, hereafter, a Prohibitionist Just before the last license court a man asked a down-town priest to sign his license petition. The priest said: 'I would do so, but I am afraid of Martin Griffin. If you get his permission, will sign.' Of course I said I would give no such a dispensation, and would publicly denounce any priest who would sign such a paper. It is with me no license and no rum priest. "When tbe first Catholic Total Ab stinence Society was organized, Sep tember 17, 1871, in my house, the peo ple were against it and I could only get boys to join. Now we are no longer looked upon with disfavor, either by the clergy or people, as is shown by the 19,000 members of the society in this archdiocese. On March 17, 1872, in my house on Lentz street was organized the Archdiocesan Union, This shows we are growing in the church. "It Is not generally known that the Catholic Total Abstinence societies are aggressive. But they are getting very much so, for next year we expect to have a man In Rome, close to the sacred Propaganda, whose business it will be to further the temperance cause in this country and secure the active co-operation of the pope-" At the anoual meeting of tbe Phila delphia C. T. A. U., a few days ago, President Logue reported 157 sock ties, 57 men's, 54 cadets', and 49 ladles' snd girls'. The men number 6,149. the cadets 6,614, aad tbe women 5 580 all the outgrowth of the meeting In Mr. Griffin's parlor twenty-four years ago. At the last Betting of the union a mo tion was carried that the city commis sioners of Philadelphia te requested to arrange the ticket for the February election so as to permit citizens to vote against license in the different city wards. A Vviee representative who called at the Internal revenue department at Washington to verify Father Klttell's statements tbat the archabbe of St. Vincent's had tried to get the depart ment to remit taxes on the "Loly" beer, reports thus: "I was unable to see the Internal revenue commissioner, but he replied through the deputy commissioner that he knew of no person like an archabbe or other Catholic having appeared be fore him asking a withdrawal of beer tax or for any other purpose. How ever, a somewhat similar matter had been before the commissioner as far back as 90 or '91. It was a representa tive of some organization from Pennsyl vania which owned vast acres of land cultivated as farm land for raising malt and hops to be nsed for beer brew ing at its own brewery, alto located on portion of tb is land. The deputy did not recollect the exact name of the in stitution, nor could he recall a more definite location than tbe state of Penn sylvania. "Tbe object of the call upon the commissioner, he said, was to ask that the beer brewed by the Institution be allowed to go out without taxation to the many farm hands who worked on the tract of land, just as employes at breweries are supplied with beer to be drunk upon the pre mites, and for which the government charges no tax. To this proposal the commissioner sent a reply in the negative, because he considered the dispensing of beer to the farm employes who raised the malt and hops for making the beer a step beyond tbe limits of the law.
