Tae Darty HXAMINER,

OCTOBER 19, 1880.

THe passage in New Zealand ®% an Act legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's sister, is exciting attention in Eagland.

Tre Telegraph is also agitating for steam communication between St. John and Eng- Jand ; and says that ‘* Possibly some aid in the running of the vessel might be obtain- ed from some of the Governments interest ed.” But this will, of course, depend up- en the expansion of the revenue and the general prosperity of the country unde the N. ?.—of which the Telegraph professes to be sceptical.

2? >

At Brome, the Hon. J. H. Pope, Min- ister of Agriculture, declared that he is, on principle, a Free Trader. But if the peo- ple want reciprocity with the United States, Mr. Pope said they must protect themselves and take the means that the Government had taken to obtain it. The Government, he said, ‘‘ would be prepared to meet the United States in a liberal spirit.’

Brome, Onr., was yesterday the scene of a stirring election contest to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Chandler, Liberal member for the County. All the influence of the Reform party was put forth to hold the seat. The ablest man they could find was set up in opposition to the Conservative candidate. Mr. Manson was elected by a handsome major- ity. <A Grit stronghold fell into the hands of the Conservatives. convinced that the * not a success, and that the policy of the

We want the taxes kept down. But we also want to import improved stock, to erect new buildings on the Model Farm,

‘ to have greunds and buildings: for Exhibi-

tion purposes, tohave an Agricultural Col- lege,—to progress and to prosper with our competitors and our neighbors. It will pay to do all this—it will pay handsomely in the end. Butin the beginning, where is the money to come from,—unless we do that which we do not want to do, viz., sub- mit to direct taxation! Now, we say, the firat thing to be done is to reduce our Legis- lature. By sweeping away the Legislative Council and reducing the House of Assem- bly to fifteeun—simply electing but one re- presentative where we now have two,— about, $10,000 a year may be saved, and we shall, without additional taxation, have-all the money we require for the development of oug agricultural resources and at the same time do that which we cannot now do, viz., make the revenue of the Province meet the expenditures of the Province in full.

Now, why should not this be done! It will not be contended that fifteen capabie raen cannot, under existing circumstances, pepresent the interests and man age the public affairs of this small Province.. Every difficult question respect- ing the Province has been solved. The eourse is clear. We have only to keep in it. And with che Lieutenant Governor on guar on one side, and the Government at Ottawa on guard on the other, is it not as reasonable that fifteen legislators will be as easily kept straight in the track as forty- three.

But, it has been urged, a strong Leader will more easily lead astray fifteen men than forty-three—and with mumber there will be more room for log- rolling. Now, we have often observed that, whether right or wrong, the strong leader of the majority has always taken his party with him. If party feeling and duty did not suffice, the unwilling mem- bers were either whipped into line, er bribed, or bamboozled. The strong leader leads—whether the direction right or wrong—in a Legislature of forty- three, 28 absolutely and completely as he pessibly could in a Legislature of fifteen. If this be so, and it is so, there is no val- idity in the objection. Indeed, it is much more reasonable to conclude that the smaller Assembly will be less liable to the cerruption of party leaders than the larger. As it will be a greater honor to represent @ larger than a smaller constitueney, so we may expect more honorable men to seek election ; and as the attention of the peo- ple will be concentrated more upon fifteen than npon forty-three, so we may conclude that they will be more careful in aking their selection. Thus, with greater ability, We may anticipate more independence in the smal! Legislature than in the large ons.

{t will, doubtless, be said, that in pro- posing this change Tue Examiner is in- eensistent with conservative principles. But to preserve the institutions of the State is the highest conservativeism:; and if we do not throw off the Legislative burden which is now pressing us down, we must

inevitabiy be ernsed by a heavy load taxation or sink into the arms of the neigh- boring Provinces—be forced into Maritime Union on terms dictated by them not by us

and lose our Legislature altogether. We have never heard that it is inconsistent with

Conservatism to throw overboard the cargo or part of the machinery, however valuable, of a sinking

ship, in order that she may be saved. Nor do we think it inconsistent with Conserva tive principles to dispense with the services of anumber of legislators, who are not at all wanted, in order that the Legislature may be preserved,

If this be true, then it follows that it 1s the duty of the Conservative Party, now in power, to undertake the most necessary work of lessening the burden ef the Pro- vince—keeping it out of the jeopardy into which it is now, undoubtedly, fast drift- ing, and giving its industries an impetus in the direction of improvement and pros- perity.

We know that in doing this duty they by all sensible and and we hope to see them

will be sustained patriotic men ;

begin the good work next session. * ——

Acapemy oF Mustc.—The Pheenix Cricket Club have made arrangements with the Lindley Theatrical Co. fora performance, to be given on Thursdsy evening next. rhe play selected is Engaged, one of Lobe rtson’s moat popular comedies, and never betore performed here. The Charlottetewn Orchestral Club have kindly consented to assist, and will per form several choice selections during the evening. The entertainment will be under the distinguished patronage of His Honor the Lieutenant Governor. ‘The object of the en- tertainment is to raise funds to liquidate the debt due on the cricket house erected by the Pheenix club last summer on Victoria Park. Although the citizens generally were liberal in their subseriptions, the amount realized has been found to be inadequate. The pavilion is not only an ernament to the Park but a source of enjoyment to the public generally, and we trust that our citizens will show their ap- preciation of the enterprise ef the Cricket Club in erecting such a building, by filling every seat in the Academy on Thursday evening.
