AFTER THE DELUGE The Couaeivative party has not yet begun to recover from the stuuuitJb' blow wliioh it received oa Tuesday of last week, and mauy are tlie opinions advanced as to the cause and probable consequences of Mr. Lauricr'e accession to power. It is uot yet e-i-actly kno;fn what the new premier's majority will bo iu the House, but it will range somewhere between sixteen and tweutysii over all others co:nbined. This is too large a majority under the circumstancos and places too much power iu tho hands of Mr. Laurier'o Quebec followeis. They arc. in the Yornacular, "coclis of the walk" on this occassion, and Mr. Lauvier will have his hands full, if ho proposes to prove hiuisclf the hiHli-minded states- man his friends bolievo him to be, in kojpiiig the ebulitiou and grasping desires of his Fi«nch compatriots in check. Hehaahere a grand oppor- tuuity of displaying any staltaraan- ship which he posBusses. We do not think ho will ever dare to inlroduco measurcB as drastic as was proposed by the late govcrnmeut, alUiougli there are those who credit him with the intention of going even fiulher than tlioy did; but such a courbe would be utterly disastrous to his future prospects as a loader and to his party. Their term of ofEco under such cii-cumatances would ba vciy short. Mr. Launer himself expects Mauituba to deal with this school diflicully in a fair and ecinitablo manner when approached without further federal iulcifertuco. In a Hpeech delivered at Montreal last week he said : "As to tho school question, people are tired of the sis years' wobbling of the government, and 1 am coulidont that by making an appeal to till) generosity and sense of justice of the Manitoba Govcrninenl we will succeed in restorin;,' to tho minority tho rights which tlioy have been d.privud of." Of course it is just poSKiblo that Mr. (Jrton way's governinent will continuo to remain stubborn ttiid Mr. Lauricr will lind himself face to face with tho same rock which haH elovo hi and sunken for tho tinu) being the CdnKoivalive ship. In that event his majority, as wo have said, iu too ovcrwhelnimgly atrong, and this is just the point •Arlieio slatesmunahip would assort iUelf. If it oomes to that point then Mr. Fjauiier will bo tried by a crucial iLHl that will *ither gicully exalt or utteily destroy him. Prvton Conucil..
