Debate on the Address.

Tue debate on the Address was opened by Mr. Robert Shaw on Monday evening. It closed on Tuesday night. For the un- wonted celerity we are duly thankful; and we are fain to hope that in the course of a another year or two the unnecessary ‘‘ de- bate on the Address” will be dispensed with —as it is in other places—altogether.

Considering that it was necessarily car- ried on before the Reports of the year were submitted and without a full knowledge of facts, the debate was a fairly good one ; and we think it made evident the trath of our statement that the present House is one of the best ever convened within the walls of the Assembly room. The young mem- bers did particularly well. Their speeches were short and to the point ; and there was in their utterances little or none of the ir- revalent wrangling which so much mars the good sayings of old members—who ought to know better. Mr. Shaw’s maiden speech elicited the applause and the compliments of both sides of the House ; and the maiden speech of Mr. Underhay, in seconding Mr. Shaw’s motion, was marked by good sense and careful expression. We have heard Mr. Montguinery’s speech much admired ; and the speeches of Messrs. Cameron, Nicholson and Bentley were all’ excellent in their way. Mr. Richards, with practice and experience in the House, is also gain ing the confidence in himself which is all he requires to render him an effective de- bater upon local affairs ; and his speech in opposition to the Government was one of the best he has yot delivered.

With regard to the inatter of the Debate, we have now little to say. Great part of it will necessarily come up again at a time when it can properly and with greater justice be commented upon. It is to be regretted that Mr. Farquharson had the exceeding bad taste to drag many irre- valencies into the debate. He doubtless felt that he was locally{weak ; and so he tried to elicit a discussion upon the National Policy of the Dominion Government. His attempt was treated with the contempt it deserved. It only resulted in showing that the Grits had endeavored to utilize the National Policy scare in the recent election toamuch greater extent than we before knew they had. It is, of course, evident to all that the Dominion Government is obliged to remedy the misrule and ex- travagance of the Grits, just as the Local Government is obliged to set to work and remedy the maladministration of the Grits. This, and the fact that the Local Opposition hasn’t a leg to stand on and must needs import one, are the two conclu- sions forced upon the mind by the discus- sion Mr. Farquharson tried te raise in the Local Legislature about the National Policy.

THE EXAMINERS SUMMARY REPORT,

Turspay, April 2u.

Afternoon NSessvon.

Hon. Mr. CAMPBELL resumed the debate on the Address. He contended that th liate Government were responsible for the ilateness of the present session. fie entec

‘that the finances of the country were In @

‘healthy or sound condition, as stated by

‘the Hon.

Leader of l considered the Assessment Act altogether lannecessary two years ago ; but, after the | Late ernment liad spent $200,000 of our ‘capital, the Opposition expected the present | Administration to carry on the business of ithe country without having recourse to any taxation. The Assessment Act would either be repealed or amended. Campbell next replied to some statements made by the hon. member for West River.

the Opposition i

? *ruy

Mr. Hotzanp was pleased at the promises of retrenchment made by the Government ; and, if these promises be carried out, even in a moderate degree, he predicted for the present Administration a long and prosper- ous reign. Mr. Davies, while Leader of the late Government, gave expression to the epinion that we would never receive one dollar of the Fishery Award. He defended the expenditures of the Owen Government and condemned the extravagance of the late Administration. The Davies Govern- ment was not sincere in their promises of reform, or they would have carried them out while they had the power to do so. Chat Government was responsible for the House being in session at the present un- seasonable time. He was in favor of the abolition of the Legislative Council for a long time ; but thought that sume other safeguard should be thrown around property.

Hon. Mr. Conroy was sorry to hear that the finances of the Provinces were in an unsatisfactory condition. He be lieved that we would get our share of the Fishery Award if a proper demand be made for it. He preferred the old sys- tem of open voting to vote by ballot. He would ge for the unconditional abolition of the Council, for property will be sufliciently represented in the Lower House. [t was time that some change was made in the Road Service, for the money was slangh- tered on the roads under the present Act. t on the old

| measures foreshadowed in the Speeca were |

factually called for, and the Government

| would be entitled to the gratitude of the country if they carried them out. Tho Te peal of the Assessment Act Was ealled for. The amount raised under it was only about double that of the old Land,Tax, and the people say, double the old tax, if necessary, and they will willingly pay it. The people did not complain so much of the principle of the Assessment Act as of the manner of learrying it out. Under its provisions a | farimer never knew what he had to pay. If the reforms promised by the Government be faithfully carried out, he believed that ‘they wonld contribute largely to the peace, | prosperity and advancement of Prince Ed- ward Island.

Mr. Gorpon expressed _his great satisfac- tien with the tenor of ‘the remarks made by the hon. member who had just resumed his seat. He had no doubt whatever that the Government would do all in their power to get our share of the Fishery Award. He did not know the finances of the Province were in so bad a state as represented. He presumed that the clause in the Speech touching upon this matter had reference to our drawing too freely upon capital. fe did not despair for the present or future of the Province. On the 29th of last Angust the Island was in as prosperous a condition, financially, as any province in the Dominion. He believed a great saving could be etfected in the cost of legislation andelections. He considered that the Leader of the late Gov- ernment did his duty to the country, but he may have been led away from the path of duty by the new aequisition, for bills were paid after the Conservatives left the Government that were repudiated by tie Owen Administration.

Progress was reported, and House ad- journed for one hour.

Mr. McKay said that the reforms fore- shadowed in the Speech with which the Session was opened were such as the coun- try has asked for. If the late Government had carried out these reforms they might have been in power to-day. The Registra- tion Act gave great dissatisfaction, and its repeal would iessen the expenditure, and would, he believed, be endorsed by the country. The first step towards retrench- ment should be the abolition of the Council. Chere was no necessity for placing any fur- ther safeguards round property. ‘The Road Act gave great dissatistaction. The old Act was taulty in some particulars, but it could be so improved as to meet the views of the people. ‘The principle upon which the As- sessinent Act is based 1s good, but there was too much machinery about it, and it was too expensive, Mr. McKay spoke at some length to points raised by the hon. member tor West River, which had no

About half-past five on Monday evening our citizens were startled by an alarm of fire. Upon investigation it was found that the residence of Thomas Kelly, Es4., had caught from a spark from the chimney. <A couple of holes burnt through the root of the building was the extent of the dam- age. Remembering the disastrous effeets ot the last fire—a few months ago—a large number of people, with the fire-engines, were promptly on the spot to render assist- ance if required.

A number of young men belonging to this town intend leaving tor the Far West in a few days. We wish them every success in their future homes.

While other places have their walking! |matches and their champion pedestrians, ! Summerside is coming to the front with its

bearing upon the question before the House.

Mr. Farovnarson followed in the same strain. He said that the repeal of the As- sessment Act would undermine the School Act.

Hon. Mr. Campsett denied that the foundation of the School Act would be un- dermined by the repeal of the Assessment Act, and the hon. member who would put forth such a statement, only made a display of his ignorance of the Statutes. Even if the Assessment Act be repealed, the Sta- tutes provide that the valuations already made shall still obtain enough for school purposes.

Mr. Bentuey could not see what benefit would result from discussing pre-election matters. Hon. members should pursue a course which would be better calculated to promote the object for which the peuple elected them. ‘he Opposition should fall in with the Government, and thus inavgur- ate a new era in polities which, he believed, would be the means of doing good. Great fault had been found with the four gentle- men Who had left the late Government, but the country not only justified these gentle- men in resigning, but also demanded the resignation of the whole Government. Those who resigned were returned, but where wasthe Government? If they had resigned when the four Conservatives left them, they would be in a better position to-day. He hoped that the present party would not fall into the same mistake as their predecessors—that of making experi- ments. They were sent here, not to ex- } periment, but to study the interest of those whom they represent, and to legislate for their benefit. As the Fisheries was one of the chief resources of the Provines, he

tion of the Government to press our claims to a fair share of the Fishery Award. The Legislative Council should be abolished. If the Island had not benefitted by that body in the past, and he believed it had not— why should they continue to spend $7,000

a year in maintaining it! He did not fear that the interests of property

would be endangered by abolishing the Council. The members of the Lower House were property-holders, and it is not likely that, in order to injure others, they would do what would injure themselves as well.

both being ‘‘declared best.” ‘I’m no bet- ter than you, and you are no better than me,” was the way the contestants settled it. Atter this one had been settled, anvther in- dividual stumped New Annan, but the re- presentative of that place failed to come to tune. Ina little while Summerside will become a place of some note in the sport- | ing world.

Tue concert given by the Reform Club on Friday evening last was well patronized. A great many were disappointed on account ef the ‘‘gentleman from Montreal” not being present to sing, as stated in the pro- gramme.
