popular idea that the Sullivan adminis- tration is the most watchful, careful and economical that the Island has ever had.

Tt is understood that the Government will continue to carry out the policy ot collecting the debts due the Province and let the tax payers go scot free as long as possible. We regret that no- thing done fowards the reduction of the Legisiature; for it is a matter which ought vot to rest until a further reduction of $5,000 a year, at least, has beer made inthe cost of legis- lation.

This year the cost of legislation will toot up to about $12,500—result, sixteen little bills and talks about communication with the Mainland aod the financial state of the Province !

Lieut.-Governor Dewdney and the Indians

The following account of Lieut.-Govern- or Dewdney’'s interview with the Indians at Broadway was telegraphed to the Winni- peg limes :—

By arrangement Governor Dewdney, who was on the train, met a deputaticn of Indians here. A confab took place in a caboose. A number of Indians from Round and Crooked Lakes reserves were pre:en’, including Beadaghake-wis-tap, and Chief ot the Cree tribes, the only surviving Cree chief, son of the chief who signed the treaty with Lord Selkirk. Yellow Calf was un- able to be present, having gone on a hunt- ing trip. Little Child’s son is dying and he was not present.

These are the tribes who revolted last spring and seized the stores. Instructor Howie acted as interpretor, and Governor Dewdney delivered the following address :

THE GOVERNOR 8 ADDRESS,

‘*Last week [ went to Winnipeg on the busipess of the Indians relative to getting seed. During my stay there circumstances arose which makes my return to Regina imperative. Consequently I cannot go to the reserve as | intended, so [ asked you to meet me, and [am sure yon have an idea better, perhaps, than I have, what brought the soldiers here. There have been rumors that evil disposed people have been amongst you giving bad talk. This has been heard at Ottawa, and as there is a good many white settlers in the country who get frightened, the Government send soldiers not as enemies to you, but friends. as well as the whites. The Government is aware of everything that is done by the Indians, and know that very many Indians are willing to go to work, and it is now taking the means to enable them to put in a crop. The soldiers come into the country so that the Indians car have the same protection as white mer. If yon see more come you will know the purpose. You have known me for a num-

t |

ber of years and know I have always been |afriend and never deceived you. I want to listen to what | say, and tell the other Indians on the reserve that the Gov- ernment wishes them to settle and go to work, As long as you do well the Govern- ment will protect you the same as the whites. If at any time you are in trouble telegraph me. You must see the Govern- ment is getting seed for you as you are getting ready to putit in. In conclusion he regretted that Little Child was absent, and gave a present of tobacco to smoke over what was said.

THE INDIANS TALK. Wah-ke-wis-ta-haw spoke. was wretched, The Government keep him poor. He was unable to raise his family. More provisions were wanted to live on. He was friendly to white men. He asked for more instructors, and wanted Governor Dewduey to collect his scattered tribes at Cypress and sent to the reserve. His Honor promised to send another instructor immediately and send a chief to collect the tribes. Several Indians spoke, the main topic being more grub. They complained of want of implements and cattle, and the

He aaid he

Governor Dowdney said the Government would supply seed for all land broken. They had sent enough, but if not, they would send more when the Indians met. The trouble was not their own fault. The Government would look after them.

AN UNFOUNDED KEPORY,

Alex. Gaddey, an Indian, said there had been reports that the Indians had a war dance on the reserve and as soon as it was over were going to massacre the settlers. They had none. They killed a dog the same as the whites play the fiddle, but

|

there was no war dance. The report was spread along the line and great injustice was done to the Indian, who got a hard name he did not deserve. There was no truth in it. He would Jike to get hold of the man who spread the report.

Strike-him on-the-back spoke, saying the, Indians were able to make their own living if they had implements. At the conclusion | of the interview all shook hands, and Mr. Dewdney ordered a meal for them and ex- tra rations at once

Acts therein

Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly.

The diligent attention which you have | bestowed upon the business brought under | your consideration, enables me, after an unusually short segsion, to relieve you from further attendance upon your legislative duties, aud I desire to express to you my acknowledgments for the various measures} which you have passed in the interests of the Province.

I feel confident that you will join with me in deploring the unfortunate ecutbreak which has occurred in the Northwest Territories, and that you will unite in the heartfelt prayer that peace and good order may be speedily restored; /so that Cauada may continue to pursue her | path of progress and prosperity.

Mr, Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of

A ssembiy.

1 thank you for the supplies you have voted for the maintenance of the public service, and which, I beg to assure you, it will be the con- stant aim of my government to dispense with ec *nomy and care.

Mr. President and Honorable Gentlemen of the

Legislative Council.

Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of

Assembly.

The joint address which you have “adopted to Her Majesty the Queen, praying Her inter- vention to secure from the Dominion Govern- ment a fulfillment of the Terms of Union in respect to communication with the mainland. as well as for compensation for loss sustained by reason of past neglect in the matter, I shall duly forward in accordance with your desire ; and | sincerely hope that your appeal may result in the removal of a long standing grievance, and one from which this Province has suffered most acutely.

In now taking leave of you, I earnestly pray that during the recess a kind Providence may direct and bless your individual labors, and those of the people whom you represent, so that happiness and proeperity may abound in our Island home, | The Guard of Honor was composed of | thirty-five men from No. 2 Company Garri- son Artillery, thirty men from the Char- lottetown Engineers, and thirty-five men from No. 3 Company 82nd Battalion, under the command of Captain Stewart. The men were headed by the Band of the 82nd Battalion, and presented a fine appearance. A salute was fired from Fort Edward by Nv. 1 Battery of Garrison Artillery, under command of Capt. Passmore.

Riel and Rossa.

O'Donovan Rossa's journal discusses the half-breed rising. Rossa strongly objects to the transport of Canadian troops over American territory. He says : ‘‘we trust that Riel and his men will succeed in their efforts,” that they will ‘‘ maintain their rights to complete independence” and will ‘‘add aaother to the sisterhood of states that form our free republic.” Another article in the same journal speaks of Mr. Fraser's repeal resolution as a matter of importance; quotes with favor Mr. Davies of Prince Edward Island, and the Toronto Globe, and observes that the utterances of these men and their journal indicate that Canadians are tired of being members of the British empire, and “the day will soon come when the starry flag of the Republic will be seen floating over headland and river from Newfoundland to the Gulf.” On which the Halifax Herald remarks : ‘‘We congratulate our friends on their success. It is something to secure the ap- proval of O'Donovan Rossa.”

LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR,

Characteristic Letter from Mr. Farquharson, M. P. P. Sir,—In your paper, | am accused of being in sympathy with Fenianism. Such charges, coming from the source they do, can only be treated by me with that silent contempt which they merit. My public and private opinion, on matters of this kind, are a suflicient contradiction to such trash as your paper has produced.

Yours, &c.,
