A Creditable Intention Frustrated.
Tue proposed vote of $30,000 to Prince Edward Island, being refund of duties paid by them on fish aud fishoils exported to the United States in LST1,was highly credita-
ble to the Gevernment and Parliament of Canada. The facts connected with this transaction are as follows: When
the Treaty of Washington was signed on the of May, 1871, an arrangement was entered into by Sir Edward Thorn- | ton and Mr. Fish that should the Domi- | nion of Canada and the Colony of Prince | Edward Island permit Americans to fish in the territorial waters of British America for 1871, the Government oi} the United States would refund all} duties paid on fish and fish oils imported | from Canada and Prince Edward Island the United States for the same}
Prince Edward Island readily |
| Sth
iato year.
agreed that Americans should be allowed | |
to fish in our waters, but Canada refused | and took measures to prevent American | vessels from fishing within the three} mile limit on the coast of what then con-| stituted the Dominion of Canada. It] was thought in this Island, that as we | had cheertully performed our part of the arrangement, the United States would have carried out its part of the bargain by refunding the duties on fish
and fish oils, the prodace of Prince | Edward Island. But the United Stats refused to do so, alleging as its reason
that the proposal, made io Mr. Fish’s | Note, when the Treaty of Washington was sigued, contemplated the united action of all the British North American Provinces, and as Canada had not sented, the whole arrangement had fallen through.
In 1873, a joint address of our House of Assembly and Legislative Council! was forwarded to the Queen prayivug that justice may be doue to those merchants |
; |
con-
j
who suffered loss through no fault of their own. A reply to this address
was received from Earl Kimberly re. gretting the refusal of the American Government to refund the duties, but refusing to admit any liability on the part of the Imperial Treasury to in- demnify the merchants.
‘The matter has stood in that way for nearly ten years, and the sufferers, dur- ing that period, have realized, we dare Say, some of the pains arising from hope long deferred. The great loss suffered by our merchants is one for which there is probably no legal remedy, and it reflects the highest honor on the Government of Canada that they
i
were willing to right the wrong. But what shail we say of the re- presentative of Prince Edward Is-
land, who objected to this vote when it came before the House of Commons ? The Patriot of Saturday askes THe Ex- AMINER to explain how it was the Gov- ernment has gone back on the Islanders by striking this money out of the esti- mates. It is not hard to explain this When the item came up for consideration Mr. L. H. Davies raised an objection to it, aud when the Minister found a represev- tative of Prince Edward Island calling it in questfon, he withdrew the motion. The whole smount of duties paid in 1871 for fish and fish oils, exported from this Is- land to the United States, was about $47,293, but about $25,081 of this amount was paid by American subjects on the’ produce of this Province, the balance, about $22,212, was paid by Prince Edward Island merchants, and we presume that the latter sum, with acrued interest, is what the Dominion proposed to pay.

THE DAILY HPXAMINER, MAY 28, 1883.
Close of the Session. The following is the Speech with which H s Excellency the G.vernor General pro- rovned Parliament:
;
Hion. Gent en of the Senate : ‘; } sor the House « Compeons I desire to thank you for the diligence and
earnestness with which you have performed your duties during the protracted session. The large sums which the buoyant state of revenue hes enabled you to appropriate 1 aid of the construction of railways, and the great works of internal improvement will be carefally applied, and economically expended, and must contribute in a large measure to the prosperity and progress of the country, The Dominion lands bill which embodies the re sults of the experience acquired during the last two years, will, it is believed, greatly assist and encourage the settlers now flowing in such unprecedented numbers into Manitoba and the Northwest Territories, The amend. ment to the laws respecting the militia, will tend to improve the discipline, traiming, apd military education of that invaluable force, The consolidation and amendment after statutes relating the management otf
the
to
ithe customs and while protecting the honest
franduient and dishonest
trader against ) competitors, will free the commerce of the country from some of the restraints imposed
mm it by the previously existing laws. ‘The readjustment of the taritf and the reduction of duties on the raw materials used in our manufactories together with the county grant- ed on the preduction of pig iron must aid in
ithe further development of Canadian in- dustries. It is gratifying also to know that
the financial position of the public tressury has enabled you to lower the pressure otf taxation by more than a million of dollars The bill for the regulation of shop, saloon and tavern licenses must have the effect of preventing the unrestrained sale of intoxicating liquers in every Province of the Dowinion and affords an efficient system for its success- ful operation, freed from the suspicion of political bias or control, while at the same time it will not unduly interere with the rights of those who engaged in the trade under the authority of legislative enactments. Gentlemen of the House of Commons :
I return you my thanks for the supplies you have granted for the varicus public services. Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate :
Gentlemen of the House of Cummones :
I desire to thank you for the great honor conferred on me by the presentation of a joint address. The Princess and I have both been profoundly touched by your words, and the message of which you make us the bearer comes, as we personally know, from a people determined to maintain the empire. The severance of my official connection with Canada does not lessen the tie of affection which will ever make me desire to serve this I pray that the prosperity I have
}seen you enjoy may continue, and that the
bleesing of God may at all times be yours to strengthen you in unity and peace.

Melancholy Accident.
A LITTLE GIRL DROWNED IN A WELL,
A very sad accident cccurred at Black Bush, Lot 45, on the morning of the 24th, resulting in the death of a little girl, eged seven years, named Annie Keeley, adopted child of Mr. Joseph McAulay, and daughter of Mrs. Keeley, Portage, Lot 47. Early om Thursday, while Mr. McAulay was pre- paring to go to Mass at Bear River, the little girl was playing about the yard. After a while he missed her. Finding that she had not gone into the house, search was mad» about the barn and at a neighbor’s house. Not finding her there he became alarmed, fearing that she had fallen into the well, which is a very deep one, being over sixty feet in depth. The well was immediately searched, when the body was hooked up from the bottom, where it was found lying face downwards. Means of resuscitation were resorted to, but it was found that life was extinct. Mr. and Mrs. McAulay were very much attached to the little girl, whe is said to have been a very bright, intelligent and affectionate child. Much sympathy is felt for them, as well as for the poor mother, in her unspeakable grief, on being thus suddenly bereft of her child.

2. What purposes in education do ques- tions serve! Write a series of questions
crease are called ‘ Salary Grabbers.” t appears that they beloug to both sides | of the House. I[n the telegrams from Ot-| tawa, published in the Patriot a few days | ago, it was stated that Mr. Davies was| engaged in watching the “grabbers,” and | was determined to divide the House against the increased indemsity. We are at a loss to understand why the Patriot should feel it necessary to pay for a telegram from Ottawa, announcing Mr. Davies’ detestation of ‘salary grab- bing.” Everybody knows that Mr. Davies has a strong, natural dislike to money, and particularly to money being paid intu his own pocket. Who does not remember how indignantly he resented the action of Mr. McKenzie in paying him $7,000 for not presenting the case of Prince Edward Island before the Halifax Commission? We have ourselves, a| very distinct recollection of how annoy- | ed Mr. Davies was at the Local Govern- ment for compelling him to accept some $5.000 for his services before the Land Commission. Everybody knows that Mr. Davies was dreadfully annoyed at the remorseless ‘“‘grabbers” who obliged him to accept his salary as Attorney General in fuil, while he was assisting at Halifax to have no part of the Fishery Award paid to Prince Edward Island, and while other lawyers were paid by the Government here, to do his work as At- torney General. Knowing all this, and much more,of Mr. L. H. Davies’ strong aversion to “salary grabbing,” we cannot understand why the Patriot should have found it necessary to have it telegraphed from Oitawa; that Mr. Davies was watch- ing the antics of “salary grabbers” with intense interest,
that would lead a child to define a Lake.
