Che Daily Examiner APRIL 14, 1886. Charges Against Hon. Mr. Camp. bell.

Tue outspoken member for Rustico has dragged into light and publicity a slander which, for some months past,has been insidiously circulating to the pre- judice of the Commissioner of Public Works. It appears that Mr. Farquhar- son, with greater temerity than some of his followers, gave currency, at a public meeting, to some of the *‘ rumors ” and “suspicions” calculated to blackeu the character of Mr. Campbell, which have been passing quietly from calumnious tongues into itching ears. In his place in the Legislature, Mr. McKay has called upoo Mr. Farquharson te prove the truth of his statements or stand convicted of utteriog a slander; and Mr. Campbell himself has promptly challenged the full- est enquiry into the facts of the matter.

Messrs. McKay and Campbell have adopted the course natarally followed by honest and innocent men. We shall now see what Mr. Farquharson can prove. If there be any evidence whatever in the case he is jin duty bound to bring it forward, so that the Legislature and the public may know what it is worth. If he merely imagines that he has evidence, he will do what he can to produce it in order that he may escape the just censure and contempt with which a righteous public visits the gratuitious slanderer.

In his indignation, Mr. Campbell! declared that he would bring the witness named by Mr. Farquharson before the bar of the House. Mr. Campbell may do this ; but be may rest assured that his friends and the public will regard him as innocent until it is clearly proved that he is guilly, and the burden of proof is with Mr. Farquharson.

The Waterworks Question.

A DECIDED step in advance has been taken. It may now be said that we shall in all probability be supplied with water ere the close of the current year. We may assume that the Charlottetown Waterworks Company will take good care that the contract will be advanta- geous to themselves; and we trust that the Mayor, the Recorder, and the special Committee appointed for that purpose will also take good care that the interests of the city are fully protected. The ar- rangement ought to be mutually advan- tageous and satisfactory.

In the annual payment by the city of $3,000, the Company have somethiog substantial upon which to work, and they may, without doubt, look forward to a large and increasing sale of water to private citizens. On the other hand, in the reduction of rates of insurance, which has been promised on the introduction of Waterworks, the citizens will at once save more than the amount of their annual payment to the Company; and in the labor employed and the large amount of money put in circulation, the working men, tradesmen, and merchants of the town will have an opportunity to obtain employment and profits.

The Subway Company.

We have received from Ottawa a copy of the ‘‘ Act to Incorporate the Northumberland Straits Tunnel Railway Company,” which was introduced by Senator Howlan, and passed the second reading on the 7th inst. The names of the Incorporators are: Hon. George W. Howlan, of Prince Edward Island, R. H. Bell, and Hayden H. Hall, of the city of New York, Edward J Dwyer of Kingston, Ontario, Honorable Thomas R. Jones of St. John, New Brunswick. The object of the com- pany is to excavate, build, construct and complete a Subway or tunnel under the waters of Northumberland Straits, from & pointat or near Cape Tormentine in the Province of New Brunswick, te the most convenient point on the opposite side of the strait in Prince Edward Island, of such form and “dimensions, and of such material as the Company may deem suitable for their purpose, aod may lay down, construct and oper- ate therein a single or double line of railway of four feet eight and one-half inches gauge, or such other gauge as may he found suitable. ‘T'he location and the gauge of the said railway shall be subject to the approval of the Governor-General in Council. The capital stock of the Company is to be fime millions of dollars, divided into shares of one hundred dollars each.

The energy with which Senator How- lan has pushed his scheme for thus con- necting this Island with the mainland, merits the thanks of the people of this Province and of the whole Dominion.

Socialist Leaders Set Free.

The trialof Baras, Hyndman, Champion and Williams, Socialist leaders, on the charge of heving ineited the Trafalgar Square and I yde Park riots, was concluded in London on the 10th inst, “The jury ren- dered a verdict of ‘not guilty,” and the defendants were all discharged. Burns, in defending himself and his colleagues dur- ing their trial, said the occasion demanded strong language. He contended that if the language for which he and the other defen- “aunts were being tried was seditious, then the recent speech of Mr. Gladstone in the

House of Commons, when he proposed the

disintegration of the empire, was seditious also,

‘ETA D AT

PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE

Aprit 13.

Mr. Sixctarn resumed the debate on draft address. He said that the farmers had just as much as they could do to make both ends meet, and greater economy on the part of the Government was necessary. In his opinion $25,000 or $30,000 more should be saved this very year. When you find the revenue falling and the expen- diture increasing, something must be done He maintained, however, that the Legiala- tive Council should not be abolished. An amalgamation of the two Houses is, he said, required, and the Legislature must be so framed that the rights of property will be preserved.

Hon. Mr. SuLtivan, after some prelimi- nary remarks, referred to the charge that the delegation had not sooner gone home to England, and said that an earlier procedure was inexpedient, on account of the general elections pending throughout Great Britain. He was, however, glad to report that the delegation had been well received by the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Com- plaint had been made because a member of the Opposition was not appointed to the delegation. But the Government, pro- perly, represent the whole Pro. vince—those who support the Oppo- sition as well as those who sup- port the Government. The Secretary of State only wanted to be assured that the delegation represented the Province,” the presence of a member of the Opposition would not have had the slightest influence upon him. The organ of the Opposition had ridiculed the delegation ; and the Op- position itself ha’ invariably opposed the Government in every attempt to obtain the rights of the Province from the authorities at Ottawa. Mr. Sullivan reviewed the steps taken by the Government towards securing the fulfilment of the Terms of Union, and exposed the motives of the Opposition. He said he believed that asa resul: of the delegation, the Secretary of State was strongly impressed with the justice of our case, and strongly impressed with the im- portance of having the Terms of Union carried out. More than that he would not now say because it would be improper to do so. He reviewed some of the erroneous statements of the Patriot, and showed that the amount to the credit of the Province in Ottawa is now $185,000 more than it was when the Government came into power, and declared that the Banks were vieing with each other to obtain the Government ac- count, and said that the credit of the Province was never better. He had visited the grounds of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition and was gratified to find that Canada was assigned the best place,and that Prince Edward Island had a prominent position in the Canadian section. With reference to the smalipox hospital he was uow of the opinion that the building was utterly and entirely unfit for the purpose; and he believed that the large death rate at the hospital was due to this fact. In con- clusion he congratulated the mover and seconder of the address.

Mr. Besr-regretted to find nothing in the speech about the reduction of the Legis- lature, and argued that the Government were not sincere with respect to that ques- tion. He was also surprised to find thet there was nothing in the speech about the proposed bridge across the Hillsborough— regarding which the mover of the address (A. Martin) had been so eloquent and per- sistent. He dwelt at length upon the delegation and the smallpox visitation, and expressed a hope that the Government would take this whole smallpox matter into consideration. The City Board of Health had acted in the interests of the whole Island, and he thought the Government should defray a large proportion of the expenditure.

Mr. McKay, after some preliminary re- marks, referfed to the claims of the Island for fulfilment of the Terms of Union, and defended the action of the Government with respect to it. He believed the delega- tion to England was a judicious proceeding, and hoped the results would be eatisfactory. To have a member of the Opposition on the delegation would, in his opinion, have been unprecedented and irregular. He referred to the manifest improvement in the Provin- cial Exhibitions, and advocated one central exhibition, giving the other countries special advantages in respect to carriage of stock, etc, Rigid economy is now necessary, and in his opinion there are still services in which a curtailment of expenditure may be made. We are a now much governed people, and reduction of the Legislature is expected and necessary, He referred to cortain charges made by Mr. Farquharson that Hon. Mr. Campbell had been guilty of corrupt practices with respect to North River Bridge and had expended $2,800 of public money that he couldn’t account for; and criticised at length the statements of the Opposition.

Hon. Mr, Camppett challenged Mr. Farquharson to say whether or not the state- ments with respect to him were true or false.

Mr. Farquaarson said that until Mr. McKay proved that he had uttered the statements, he would take no notice of them, but he would say that the job at North River was m : fy)

How. Mi: ha ments been made by the not ?

Mr. Farquaarson—Some people fear nothing because they know nothing, Some of the remarks of the hon. member for Rustico I do not think worthy of reply. With respect to the North River Bridge, I can tell the Commissioner of Public Works that the manner in which the contract was fulfilled is a matter I intend to lay before the House. If only one-half of the state- ments made in reference to it by credible persons be true, it is a disgrace. If the Commissioner of Public Works will bring the documents in reference to the contract before the House, I will expose the rotten- ness of the whole transaction.

Hon. Mr. Campsett—The papers in re- ference to the contract were laid before the House last session. Whether the Hon. member think he had authority for his statement or not, itis a most unqualified falsehood. I will produce the certificate of the Inspector that the work was performed | according to contract.

Mr. Farquuarson—I know that Mr. | John Sinnot told Mr. Doyle (the contrac-

work. I will produce several men who will testify that such was the case and th: thousands of dollars were lost to the couutry in connection with the job. {f wonder whether it will add tc the credit of the Commissioner of Public Works to have that matter discussed, If the statement of Mr. John Sinnot is true’ the work is a most disgraceful affair; and I have been told the same by men living in the neighborhood. I can say a good deal more about it.

Hon. Mr. Camrseitt—lI will bring John Sinnot to the Bar of the House. wrote to him to-day asking for an explanation.

Mr. Farquuarson.—lI will undertake to say that Mr. Sinnot will not appear at the Bar of this House. I challenge and dare the Commissioner of Public Works to bring Mr. Sinnot to the Bar of this House.

Mr. McFapyen moved that the debate be adjourned.

House adjourned.

Obitvary.

James P, Kicxnam, son of Edward Kick- ham, Esq., and brother of the late Hon. Laurence Kickham, died at his residence, Souris West, on the 6th inst. Some years ago he left his native Isle and went to seek his fortune in the ‘‘ Golden State,” on the far off Pacific. While there he received injuries from a gunpowder explosion, which brought him almost to the point of death. A few days ago he was attacked by pneumonia, and his constitution being weakened by his former sickness, he passed from the acting side of time in the prime and vigor of manhood. He was a man who had many friends and few enemies, He was a ready attendant on the sick and a benefactor to the poor, and this was clearly shown by the great concourse of people that followed his remains to their last resting place. Those whom he has left behind are bereft of a kind brcther and an affectionate son, but they have the promise that, beyond this world of sin and sorrow, they will meet him in that higher and better realm where there is peace and joy.

eS > 2 Home Rule.

Patrick Egan, President of the Irish Na- tional League, was at Omaha on Friday last, and upon being asked what he thought about Gladstone’s bill, said: ‘‘I think it will be a good thing for Ireland, if it is passed with certain modifications. I am inclined to think with Parnell that the subsidy of £3,000,000 which the Irish gov- ernment, according to the bill, has to pay into the royal treasury, is rather heavy. It seems to me that power, as outlined by Gladstone, ia a little too strong. Let a few changes be made, and it will be the best measure that could be carried into effect, and will afford a practiéal solute* “y= Irish question. It is certain liberal measure yet proposed, and I one am decidedly in favor of it. It will meet with the approbation of Irish Natiomlists in America. There are some who would never be satistied withanything,and they will probably continue to kick, but the rank and file of Irish sympathizers of this coun- try will agree that Gladstone’s measure is a good and just one. I am inclined to be- lieve that the measure will be passed by the present parliament.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

A Task.

Sir,—I am delighted to know that our literary Inspector of Fisheries hag been recently hunting up the early hisiory of this Province, and hs volunteered to assist in translating any document relating there- to, that may be found written ina foreign tongue. The following was picked up not long ago, and as I feel certain it is neither French, Geelic nor Old English, I gladly accept his kind offer to translate it. Whether it refers to the early settlement of this Island, or to the present affairs of some other Island, I am not prepared tosay. I imagine that somehow or other it refers to fish—possibly to saw-dust.

I remain, Yours truly, AOADIA.

SEVERAL noblemen in England are in the habit of giving special orders to makers in Virginia for their supply of smoking tobacco. There is nodoubt that by that means they obtsin the very best tobacco to be had, but it cost them $2. pound. The working men of Canada are smoking the very same quality of tobacco at 60 cents a pound, and it is known to them as the Myrtle Navy,
