MR. BRECKEN’S SPEECH.

Mr. Brecken,—I agree with a good deal of what has fallen fromthe hon, the Minister of Railways with respect to the extraor- dinary course which the hon. member for

Inverness, (Mr. McDonell) has pursned in introducing this important subject. [ cid hops that the members from the Lower Provinces, when they braced themselves up to meet this question, would forget party feeling and band together in sueh a way as to convince the Government that they really and truly believed in the justice and equity of the cause they were advocating. I was surprised and disappointed when such a fierce attack was made upon the hon. member for Halifax (Mr. Richey), for moving the adjournment of this debate. At once hon. members from the Maritime Provinces whose interest it sheuld be to strengthen our hands, pounced-upea my hen. friend from Halifax and charged him with having moved the adjournment of the de- bate for the purpose of indefinitely post- poning the discussion of this question. Even the hon. member for Prince (Mr. Yeo), charged his fellow representatives with heing servile followers of the Gevern- ment, ready to do their bidding at the cost ef the interest of their constituents on the Island—that we were hollow-hearted in the advocacy of thia cause. Charges of this nature coming from the hon. member for Prince are not very disturbing. The hon. member for Inverness had not been on his feet five minutes attributing most un- fairly and unjustly partizan and unpatriotic motives to his fellow workers, when I dis- covered he was describing his own case exacily. The hon. member for Prince has been eloquent in describing his valorous conduct and great services to. Prince Edward Island on this question. This is the first | have heard or known of the yal- uable services of that hon. gentleman. The member for Inverness has undertaken te lecture my hon, colleagues who support the Government,and has attributed to them un- manly motives. If he wanted to destroy his case and convince this house that he him- self was acting the role ofa, partizan he could not have taken’a more effectual course. As the hon. Minister of Railways stated, common prudence should have dic- tated to the hon. member for Inverness a different line of action. He (the member for Inverness) was a member of a small minority in this house, and while/he pre- tended to base his case upen the broad principles of equity and justice, rather than on the strict rules of law, he, instead of ap- pealing to the sense of justice of the CGov- ernment before he had any evidence of their insinesrity, charges them with an at- tempt to prevent discussion on this vital question, and refuses to take the assurance of the hon. the Finance Minister, that the Government, in asking fer a pestponement, did «9 aimply that documents now in course of preparatien and which have reference to this subject should be laid before the house, and that the Government had no desire to evade the diseussion but, on the contrary, were desirous that it should be debated this session, For myself, I may say I would like fo see the promised documents. I am familiar with the correspondence that haa emanated frem Prince Edward Island and the answer of this Government thereto ; but [am not familiar with the documents that ave emanated from the other Provy- inces. Netwithstanding the taunts threwn out by the hon. members for Inverness and Prince, | intend te vote for the adjourn- ment. I have sufficient confidence in the sincerity of the Hon. Ministers of Finance and Railways when they tell this House that they are desirous of having this ques- tien dispesed of this session, and to take take them at their word, and I tell the Hion. member that if he really wants some substantial results to flew from the action he has taken in bringing in his resolutions, he had better be less violent in his attacks and not jump at the cenclusion that we are likely to see this discussien indefinitely postponed. I have already urged the spe- cial and peculiar claims of Prince Edward Island upen the consideration of this Goy- ernment to asuare of the award; but as we are now speaking to the questier of ad- journment, and as there will be anether opportunity, I will net detain the House at present,further than te urge a point that has not as yet been noticed. I would di- rect the attention of the House to the posi- tion of Newfoundland. Jt is urged by those whe oppose the distribution of the award money among the fishing Provinces, that the fishing territory within the three- mile limit isa Dominien interest and not a Provincial right. At present i do not express my epinion one way or the other ; but even admitting that the authorities establish the point that these fisheries are Dominion and not territorial rights, still I contend that the fact of the Imperial Government, with the consent of the De- minion, having appertioned a million dol-

jars to Newfoundland, shows that the fish- ing interests bordering on that Province

wore considered practically a territorial and Provincial preperty, and that by the rights conceded to the Americans under the Treaty, the Island ef Newfoundland had suffered a loss equal to the amount paid her. Now, Mr. Speaker, if the position is acorrect one, that these fisheries are net territorial rights, then before Confedera- tion they would be considered Imperial. If so, why was not the million of dollars received by Newfoundland paid inte the lmperial Treasury. I submit that the Do-

‘iminion practically stands in the same rela- tion to the different Provinces which com-

pose that Dominion as the Imperial Gov- ernment does towards Newfoundland. Of course this must be taken in a qualified seuse, and is applicable to the settlement of this question. The Mother Conntry treated the fisheries of Newfoundland as a source of trade belonging to that Province. Why shonld not Canada take the same view of it and indemnify the Maritime Provinees out of the Award? Five mil- lions and a half has been declared to be the measure of benefit gained by the Americans for their advantages under the Treaty, and the amount of damages sustained by the Maritime Provinces under that compact.

I submit that the inhabitanis of Ontario and the great Northwest have no greater interest in ovr fisheries than have the inhabitants of Great

Britain in the fisheries of Newfoundland. The Dominion Government have stepped into the shoes of the lmperial Government. Newfoundland has been indemnified for her losa, why shonld not the-Lower Provinces have the balance Civided among them in proportion to the loss which they have susiained. The hon. member for Inver- ness has been very rash and imprudent in the manner in which he has approached this case this evening. I suspect he has been toe auxieus to make political capital at the expense of those interests which it is his duty to advecate. 1 hope that the Gevernment will overlook the reckless con- duct of my hon. friend, who has constituted himself the champion of the Lower Pre- vines men in fighting this battle, and that his blundering mismanagement will not in- jure our cause, or that his sins will not be visited upen the heads of nnoffending mem- bers, whe are anxions to see jnatice done in the premises. I trast that the Govern- ment will recensider their determination as aflects Prince Edward Island, and will see substantial reason which will justify them in awarding that Province compensation for the loss she has sustained by the serious desiruction ef her fisheries, a property which, I, submit praetically belongs to her.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Str,—!f sec in yourissue of April Srd a paragraph, for you can call it nothing else, called ‘* Danger in Charlottetown.” I see in it no arguments te meet what J said in my Jast letter about the marriage of cousins, and it is plainly te be seen that the cap tits him, fer Mr. D. V. H., whoever he may be, has taken it and worn it voluntary. I only took the ground that if law allowed marriage of cousins, it should also allow the marriage of a man with his sister-in-law, for leoking at both cases hew you like, the latter is the least ob- jectionable of the two. Another thing, Mr. Editor, when a person descends to calling an- other hard names, it is quite plain they ons no arguments to back them. I enly referred to Tignish merely to bring the matter pretty close heme ; but if Mr. D. V. H. wishes I can bring it closer home yet, aud take the ca that he has worn of his own free will and pull itever his face, so that he cannet pull it off again ina hurry. Yours obediently,

Picrov Inon.—We have been shown the prospectus ef a company likely to be formed for working the iron deposits on the East River ef this county. There can be no doubt that our Pictou County iren mines, situate in close proximity to ceal, ete., could be werked very economically and profitably, and we trust a start will be made in the matter in the near future. The iron deposits on the East River region are very large, and the ere of very euperior qnality — Standard.

Lord Radstock, a pious Irish peer, who, has been preaching Uvangelical doctrine for a long time with singular success to the aristocracy of St. Petersburg, has converted General Pashkoff, who in his turn is now creating a sensation on the banks of Neva by his sermons.
