HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY

April 12.

House met at 430, p. m. The debate on the address in reply to the Lieutenant Governor’s Speech was resumed by

Mr. Joun MeLegan, who seconded the Address and proceeded to review it. He referred to the measures adopted by the Government concerning the unfulfilled Terms of Union, and said that in his opin- ion they were business like, and would re- sult beneficially to the Province. He en- larged on the importance of agriculture, and the advantages to be derived from the importation of improved breeds of stock To the Liberal-Conservative Government he said belong the credit of inaugurating County Exhibitions, which have done much to promote the improvement of agri- culture throughout the Province. He spoke of thesmallpox visitation, and the necessity for additional regulations. As to the pro posed legislation, he remarked that business in the Courts is slow, tedious, and expen. Sivejto suitors,and was very glad that an Act had been introduced to expedite business in the Supreme Court and Court of Chan cery. In conclusion, he hoped that a

Mr. Brake was rather surprised at the statement of the hon. member for West River, with reference to our farmers. The farmers are, in point of fact, in a good position—never better. The government he thought, did well not to forward their memorial while the Northwest Rebellion

was pending. The Dominion au- ithorities could not then give it the consideration due to its great importance, But as soon as the re-

bellion was disposed of, the memorial was despatched to the Governor-General in Council, and thence to the British Govern- ment, and was followed by a delegation to represent personally the facts of the case. He referred to the great importance of stock-raising; and advocated the establish- ment of a permanent Exhibition ground and building ina central part of the Pro. vince. If this were done, he thought, all the exhibitions might well be held on the one groundss He> belieWed good results would flow fae such ascheme. The Pro- vinci ibition of last year was held yonder disadvantageous circumstances; he thought it a great hardship Manufacturers and ochers that there was

ot sufficient accommodation. The exhi

<

measure would be introduced for the pur- pose of lessening the expense of legislation which is now far greater than it should be.

Mr. Perry congratulated the mover and an A ssconder of the Address, and said that he intended to expedite the business of the House as much as he could by saying as little as possible. Ho thought Mossrs Sullivan and Ferguson might have left for England last October or November to make their representation to the British Govern- ment, and not have rendered necessary 80 late a meeting of the Legislature. Bat he hoped the reault would be satisfactory. The delegates could not, however, have gone to England at a more inopportune time, 4 time when Mr. Gladstone was grap pling with a great question, in which five or six million of people are concerned. He was surprised to find nothing in the speech about education and the public lands; and thought the roads might be kept in better repair at less cost. He hoped the Govern- ment would get an instalment of the claim of $5,000,000 before the end of the month, for he feared the credit of the Province was in a bad way.

Hoy. Mr. Prowse. —It was never better,

Mr. Perry hoped that was true; also that the $5,000,000 would be obtained by the Government. If it were he would give them his support. At any rate he trusted that the measures they were about to sub- mitto the House would conduce to the advantage of the Province.

tion. Mr. Arsgnavtrin reply said that &3 soon as it was known that thy Address had been dispatched to England and that the elections in England were over the de-

wlegation set out. As to the “‘ wants” of the Province, he supposed that when there were no ‘‘ wants” we might look for the millenium. In his opinion there were no good grounds for the assertion that the Government had lost the confidence of the country. For his part, he had no fears for the result of the next elections. The par- tial elections in which the Government was successful, were a very good index of pub- lic opinion; and he thought that, on the whole, the people were pretty well satisfied with the Government.

Mr. FarquHarson had expected that some member of the Government would have given the House some information. Bat perhaps they found the speech of the the Hon. member of Tignish rather too heavy for them. The Governmgnt appear to be in very good humor, but that was a sign of astorm. The farmers in the coun- try are not in a goad state. They are labor- ing under many disadvantages. The farmers of Ontario get more than double as much for their produce as our farmers do, Mr. Farquharson alluded to the smallpox visitation, and censured the Leader of the Government because he did not give up at once the old asylam building for a small- pox hospital. He then discussed the letter of the Commissioner of Pubiic Works, which was published during the last Logis- lative Council election, and stated that a tremendous séate of things existed through- out the country. As a remedy he would close the land office as soon as possible, and give a discoant to the farmers in arrears to induce them to pay up, and abolish the office of Attorney General,

Hon. Mr. CampsBett criticised the speeches,of Messrs. Perry and Farquharson, and defended the actions of the Goyern- ment. He referred to the time when members of the Opposition were in power, and when the bonds of the Island were being hawked about and sold at 12 per cent. discount. Then,truly,it was that the finances of the Province were ina deplorabie con- dition. The inconsistency of the Opposi- tion was shown in the faet that-they had declared that a Government were as power- less as flies on the wheel to promote the trade and prosperity of the country, while now they say that the country is not pros-

perous, and blame the Government. [In the late partial election, the majority for the Government was

doubled, and if there were a general elec- tion the majority for the Government would, in his opinion, be largely increased

He defended the action of the Government with respect to the emallpox hospital, argu- ing that the fatal results were due to the dampness of the building. As to the price of potatoes, was no! Mr. Farquharson him- self one of the first to bind the farmers down to sell their potatoes at 14 cents per bushel! He contrasted the prices for necessaries current in the old time with those paid at the present time, and hurled back in the teeth of the membor for West River the statement that the ‘‘farmers of the Province are in a miserable state.” He declared that the farmers were prosperous and happy, and asa whole, much more in- dependent than the merchants of Charlotte-

town. He defied Mr. Farquharson to prove that the statements in his letter were incorrect, and pointed out that not- withtanding the tariff, sugar is now four cents «a pound cheaper than it was when Mr. McKenzie was in power. He reminded the Opposi-

tion that the present Government paid for education nearly $40,000 a year more than was paid by the Davies Government. Nor had the party of which Mr. Farquharson “ae 6 memberever imported a hoof—even of a boar pig -while the present Govern- ment has made large importations of im- proved stock! He defended the action of -he Government in collecting the amounis

due the Province by the Dominion instead

bitions are very importayt to the country. They bring a large number of our farmers together to discuss the articles brought under their observation and the means by which they are produced in such per- fection. The exhibits forwarded to the Colonial and Indian Exhibition would, he hoped, give the people of Great Britain a good idea of the capabilities of the Prov ince. Much credit was, he thought, due to Mr. McNeill, the Agent here of the Domin- ion Government. He corroborated the statement of the Commissioner «f Public Works that the late Government had not imported any stock, while the present Gov- ernment had made many very judicious importations, weeded out all the bad stock from the Model Farm, and had now on the farm,animals which would do credit to any herd-book. He thought they did right to sell the horses that were on the Farm and leave the improvement of our breeds of horses} open tu private enterprise. But the usefulness of the farm might, he thought, be enhanced by elevating it into an agricultural echool or college. As to the smalipox visitation, he expressed the hope that the Government would share with thes City Council the cost of crushing out the’ disease. He also expressed the hope! that a bill would be brong down for the abolition of the Legislative! Council or the amalgamation of the two Chambers. Hon, members should sink party feelings as much as possible and legis- late for the good of the country.

Mr. Sincram moved the adjournment of the deate.

Valuable Thoroughbred Stock.

The steamer Milanese arrived at this port yesterday from London, G. B., having on board a valuable lot of improved live stock, principally for P. E. Island. They consist of two horses, one bull, thirty-six young rama ani ewes, and twopigs. The horses (a mare and stallion) are at the stables of Mr. Ainsley, Blowers street, and are truly magnificeat animals. ‘ Stock- taan” is a three-year old dark brown shire horse, and is a handsome as well as a powerfal animal. The honors he has won in the English show ring afford the best evidence of his qualities. He took first prize at the horse show, open to all Eng- land, held at Bishop’s Stortford in Feb- ruary, and was commended a few days later at the Shire society show in London, in probably the finest display of horses ever seen together. Hissireis ‘‘ Baron Lincoln” (105), and among his ancastors figures the names of ‘* England’s Glory” (723); winner of the Ist prize at the Royal at Warwick, 1859, and ‘* England’s Glory” (707) winner of the first prize at the Royal at Windsor in 1851. The name ‘*Mettle” is an animal of wonderful substance and excellent pedi- gree. Hersire is ‘‘Honest Tom” (1105), winner of first prize at the Royal for six years in succession. ‘Thumper’ (2123), the winner of three first prizes at leading shows, was her grand sire. She is in foal to the shire stallion “Montgomery” (3881) The short horn bull ‘‘Ambassador,” 13 months old, is from the herd of 8S. C. Piil- grim, of Hinckley, who has a high repuia- tion all over England as a breeder of high class short horns of wonderful milking qualities. ‘* Ambassador” is greatly ad- mired by the many excellent judges who have inspected him. The Shropshire sheep (12 rams and 20 ewes) are from the well- known flocks of Myles Woodburne and John

Evans, of Shropshire. One Leices- ter ram is from the prize flock of Mr. Turner of Northampton. The three

Cotswold rams aud the two Berkshire pigs —a boar and sow, are from the stock of Fussell Swanwick, of the Royal agricultu- ral college farm of Cirencester. We believe that ali the above valuable stock, excepting the ewes and one or two rams, are for the government of Prince Edward Island. We must congratulate the farmers of the ‘‘ gar- dén of the guif” on the infasion of new blood into the farm stock for which the Island has already earned a very deserved credit. We are glad to loarn that a portion of the ewes are for the farm. of N. H. Meagher, near Stewiacke ; the balance of the importation belongs to the Hoa. D, Ferguson, who selected the whole during

City Council.

THE regular monthly meeting of the City Council was held last evening. His Wor- ship Mayor Beer, His Honor the Recorder, and all the Councillors were present.

After the minutes of the previous meet- ings had been read and confirmed, and a number of accounts passed, some discussion arose concerning the qualification ofeone of the Assessors, and the legality of the assessments. The matter was referred to the Recorder.

The contract for supplying the city with plank for sidewalk purposes was awarded to Anthony MecNairn, his being the lowest tender ; and the tender of John Murphy, for constructing and repairing pumps and wells, was also accepted for the same reason.

The two tenders received for the con- struction of waterwofks were then sub- mitted. The first tender read was that of Henry Baldwin, of Boston, Mass., who offered to construct and equip a system of waterworks from Winter River for a period of thirty years or more at an annual rental of six thousand dollars, contract to be com- pleted within two years from the time of signing.

The next tender read was that of Thomas T. Turnball, on behalf of the Charlotte- town Waterworks Company. It is as

follows :— CHARLOTTETOWN, 9th April, 1886, — To the Mayor and Corporation and City Council of the City of Charlottetown.

For and on. behalf of ‘‘The Charlottetown Waterworks Company,” I, the undersign being duly empowered and authorized so to do, do hereby tender for the placing and maintaining of sixty frost-proof hydrants, having a pressure of not less than sixty pounds to the square inch, for fire and civic purposes, according to the plans and specifications exhibited at the City Clerk's office in manner following :—

lst. To place and maintain sixty frost-proof hydrants, properly protected, readily accessible, double cap (viz.: two two-and-a-half-inch hose nozzle), patent **Chapman” or equal, having a pressure of not less than sixty pounds to the square inch, fifty-eight of such hydrants for ase by the Corporstion for fire purposes, to be located and placed as marked on the plan of the water service hereunto annexed, marked A, and two hydrants for the purpose of watering the streets to be placed where the Council shall direct. 2nd. To connect such hydrants with eight-inch, six-inch and four-inch cast iron pipe, coated out- side and inside with Dr, Angus Smith's patent composition, all tested to a pressure of three hun- dred feet head, as the same are marked and laid down in the said plan marked A. 3rd. Tosupply through such pipes water fit for manufacturing aud family use, and for ordinary municipal purposes, snch supply ~to be unfailing and sufficient to supply eight powerful streams, throwing said streams to a height ef at least sixty ‘feet; from eight one-inch nozzles. « 4th!'Phe source of supply to be from Winter | River, At or near said source there will be a ‘pumping station, supplied with two duplex pimps, each capable of pumping one million of ions in twenty-four hours of the character and eScription delineated and shown on the plans herewith exhibited, with all the necessary machi- nery and filtering basin. The main leading there- {rom to be of a diameter of twelve inches, and of best castiron, tested to three hundred feet ‘head, and coated inside and oatside with Dr. Angus Smith's com position. 5th. To supply the above service for the term of twenty years for the sum of three thousand :dol- jars per annum, payable quarterly, and to supply for the use of the Corporation, for fire purposes, ali further hydrants which may be required by the Corporation at the rate of fifty dollars per hydrant per annum, the city to pay the company all cost of, and connected with placing and erect- ing the same. 6th. The above work to be finished and com- leted, with first-class workmanship and mate y the first day of January next, in the Year Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty- seven, unforeseen accident, delay or casualty not preventing. Tuos. T. TURNBULL, For and on behalf of the Charlottetown Water- works Company.

Couneillor Haszard moved and Councillor A. A. McLean seconded, that the tender of the Charlottetown Waterworks Company being the lowest, be accepted.

Councillor Morris thought that more time shouid be given for the consideration of tenders before a contract was entered into, He moved in amendment that the con- tract be taken up this night week.

Councillor Haszard said,that time enough had been given and the people had made up their minds on the subject. The time had been extended long enough and it is high time some action were taken in the matter if business was meant. He thought Councillor Morris was not sincere in mov- ing the amendment.

Councillor Morris again said he thought the contract should be postponed in the in- terest of the citizens.

Councillor Kelly expressed himself in favor of the resolution. The contract was full and complete and he thought that Char- lottetown would have the best and cheapest 5, stem of waterworks in Canada. Certain- ly no town wanted waterworks worse. He would not go for shutting off the present source of supply. He said the very fact of the Council letting the contract for keeping pumps and wells in order for three years was a sufficient refutation of the assertion that pumps were to be closed up. The people were not compelled to take their water from the company; but they would certainly take it if the water were good and the prices low.

Courcillor Douse said that hydrants for fire purposes were a failure in Montreal and read an extract from the Montreal Herald in proof of his statement.

Councillor A. A. McLean said that every hydrant was located according to the speci- fication, and all the other details were alao in accord therewith. If the pressure is not up to what the contract calls for, the city need not pay the company the money. It would be the company’s loss if the supply was short, and nothing would be lost 'to the city. There is no truth whatever in the report that some of the Councillors are in- terested in the company, So far as he himself was concerned he was not interest- ed to the extent of a single cent, and would vote on the matter without fear or favor. The citizens wanted water and should have it. Lt was the duty of the Connvil to give the contract to the lowest tender.

Councillor Morris’ amendment was then put and lost by the casting vote of the Mayor.

Councillor Morris was of the opinion that a contract should not be entered into before the citizens had a look at the ten- ders. The contract did not state how much we are to pay for the water. Medical men and others agree that sewerage must come with waterworks, and we all know that this means a heavy t.x on real estate. The ten- ders should be extended for one week more. We areallin favor of waterworks but are divided 2s to the method of construction. The water of Winter River is poisonous and the people will be decimated by fevers, etc., if the water supply is to coma from that source. We good look for a_ bet- ter source supply. About forty oc fifty feet under the earth and within two miles of the city any quantity can be had. The driven well system should be tried. If the water, when introduced, is not fit to drink, and the engines are obliged to go to the ice, as in other cities, he could not see the necessity for going out of town for th supply. Hydrants will be found to be of

a _— - - : a

nomore use here than in other places, and after the first fire we will have to go back again to the tanks. He moved the following amendment :— ;

Whereas, It is the opinion of this Council that the pro system of Waterworks should be the property of the city,

Therefore Resolved, That application be at once made to the Provincial Legislature to guar- antee the interest on a sum suflicient for the con- struction of a system of Waterworks by the City ; and

Further guarantee from the lature, the services of a cempetent Sanitary Engineer bs immediately procured in order to ascertain the best source of water supply, and to draw up plans and make estimates of cost, so that tenders may be called for and the work proceeded with without delay.

Councillor Curtis said he would not say much on this matter now, a@ he had been talking it over for the past fiviyyears. He could not see any objection 5 the ment, Councillor Mele i tender was beautiful, i : could be picked in it, *BitiP*he himeelf thought there was some shinanegan in the matter. ‘

Councillor T. A. McLean thought the opposition of Councillors Morris and Curtis should not be looked upon as serious, They wanted water before the election but not since. Many of those who oppose water- works now were elected to vote for it. He thought the contract low and that citizans should be proud of their present position in the matter. The different stands that Councillor Morris has taken in this matter are remarkable. Hesays Winter River water is poisonous, yet he wants the city to construct the works. He should offer his sympathy to the Charlottetown Waterworks Company in the event of the citizens not taking the water.

Councillor Curtis said he was not an obstractionist to water and he wanted that distinctly understood. We should got the best water possible.

Councillor Morris’ amendment was then put and lost®by the casting vote of the Mayor.

Councillor Horne said this matter of a water supply had been under discussion for many years. It always came up just before an election and died out immediately after- wards, The people and Council do not un- derstand the question, and they should have an opportunity of examining the tenders be- fore the matter is settled. He moved the following resolution which was seconded by Conncillor Morris :—

Whereas, By an Act of the Legislature it is directed that the City Council shall not enter into any contract in which a sum amounting to six thousand dollars is required to be expended, un- less and until a public meeting of the ratepayers shall have been first called to take such contract or proposed contract into consideration, such meeting to be called by the Mayor, or by giving at least thirty days’ notice in at least two news- papers published in Charlottetown ; and

Vhereas, The proposed annual grant of three thousand dollars for hydrants to the Charlotte- town Waterworks Company, representing a capi- tal amount of sixty thousand dollars, at five per

cent. per annum, ly exceeds the amount scdidilenal by the onl act to be ded with- out the consent of such public m

« Therefore Resolved, T eho

no te accepted or contract entered into by this ei! for the construction of waterworks, until after a public meeting of the ratepayers of the city shall have been first called according to law.

Councillor Crabbe was surprised at the action of Councillor Horne. He quoted Fairbanks aud Murdoch to prove that Win- ter River or Gates’ Brook were the best available sources of supply, and that the water therein was good and pure. He also quoted Prof. Hayes to show that the sam-

of Winter River water sent to him for

ysis was superior to water forwarded f Spring Park and one of the city pumps. Against the reports of these prac- tical men*we Have the assertion of Council- lor Morris that Winter River is poisonous, aud if water is brought into town from that source we will be decimated by disease ! The election returns show clearly that the people want water. With the intro- duction of water would come an immense reduction in the insurance rates. It was the intention to raise the rates of insurance this spring, but the action on the water- works matter delayed it. Spring Park and the pumps would remain as at present after the waterworks were introduced, and those who did not feel disposed to take water from the company, could get it from the old sources. He thought the present a glorious day for the advocates of water, and regretted that the pioneer of the movement —the late lamented Councillor Murphy— were not present to rejvice that his fondest hope was about being consummated.

Councillor Douse thought sewerage would be the next question. When Mr. Gamble was here he said that sewerage was a necessity although some Councillors ap- pear to think different.

Councillor McRae would like to have the Waterworks constructed by the city, but if the Company would guarantee that they would build the sewers he would have no objection to them. He had great doubts about the pumps and wells being kept in order after Waterworks were introduced.

Councillor Morris said he would vote for water being brought into town by the city. He advised the Council to exercise great care and to submit the matter of a public meeting to the Racorder for his opinion.

Councillor Crabbe said Councillor Morris was an obstructionist pure and simple. He would like to know where Councillor Morris would get the water if brought in by the city as he says Winter River is poisonous. The matter was fairly and squarely be- fore the Council and should not be evaded.

Councillor A. A. McLean moved, and T. A. McLean seconded a resolution asking that Councillor Horne have leave to with- draw his motion. —Carried.

The motion that the contract be given to the Charlottetown’ Waterworks Company was then put and carried on the following division :

Ayes—Councillors Crabbe, Kelly, T. A. McLean, A. A. McLean and Haszard.—5d.

Nays— Councillors Morris, Douse, Horne, McRae, Curtis—5.

The Mayor gave his casting vote in favor of the resolution.

Councillor Haszard moved and Council- lor T. A. McLean seconded the following resolution :—

Resolved, That Councillors Kelly, A. A, Mc Lean and Morris be a committee to.act with His Worship the Mayor to complete the contract with

a Waterworks Company.—Car- ried.

A petition from Messrs. Poole and Lewis and others, relating to the garnishment of debts, was received, read and referred to the Recorder.

Councillor Crabbe gave notice that at the next meeting of Council he would intro- duco a by-law levying and specifying the rate of assessment on real estate, income and personal property in the city, also a by- law allowing arate of discount on same,

The bill of the. Electric Light Company was then read and ordered to staud over

for a few da ; Council adjourned at 11.30 till 22nd inst.

Resolved, That on obtaining such |

“A Pioneer Trappist.”

Ture is in the last number of the Ave | Maria short bi ical sketch bys Mr. ‘James A. McKenna, of this city. It is ‘entitled a ‘‘A Pioneer Trappist,” and is in ‘account of the life of ‘‘Good Father Vincent ‘de Paul,” By his treatment of it, Mr. Me- ‘Kenna h:s made the sketch exceedingly interesting. The literary ability displayed is, indeed, far beyond mediocre. In the fol- lowing paragraph are exhibited at once the beauty of the character of Father Vincent de Paul and a epecimen of the excellent style of Mr. McKenna.

“He wasindeed a true a Je, ‘instant in sea- son and out of season.* tribulation and danger, but never depressed ; overburdened with onerous and mul!tiform duties, yet never cast down nor irritated, but ever calm and cheerful; continually trembling at the awful bility of his sacred office, still alw: firmly in God who had called him, hedid ‘the work of an evangelist’ vigilantly and well, He was not what the world would call an eloquent man: ‘Not in the persuasive words of human wisdom‘ did he seek to draw souls to C but bythe earnest outpouring of his heart, and the ht example of his stainless, humble life' he

‘Allured to brighter worlds, And led the way.’

Father Vincent's life was a strange alternation of active, toilsome service in the world, and no less toilsome, prayerful service in his beloved cloister; but the same heavenly peace perveces his life, and lit up his countenance with a holy brightness, which stole into the beholder from Heaven. Hise on wes to do God's holy will faithfully, lo ly, that he might, when life‘s way was ended, hear the Master say, ‘Well done.’ Whether in the world or in the monastery, he ever walked close to God in prayer; not in wordy or in a continual uplifting of the heart. and an —_ less yearning; for the other and the better, life, where all is peace and joy perpetual. This*was the secret of his life; this it was that thim

ce and solace in trials and difficulties, made

im bright when others wer@ sadden and inspirited him when nature was overtaxed, and the weak flesh weary ; for by such prayer

‘More things are wrought * °* ° Than this worid dreams of.“
