Our Misrepresentatives.

Ed-

treated in a left-

Ir is not much wonder that Prince

ward Island should be

handed way when our representatives at Ottawa appear to be doing their utmost to injure us. A good example of this is fur- nished by the speeches of Messrs. Welsh and Davies, as reported in Wednesday's Patriot. Speaking of the repairs made to the steam dredge last year, and condemning the Gov- ernment for the amount expended in effect- ing these repairs, Mr. Welsh is reported to

have said

‘“‘Had proper judgment been used the dredge could have been taken to Pictou and put on the slip there, and all the repairs

could have been done in one month at a less cost than $5,000.’ :

A more barefaced slander than this was never uttered against the Island, and our position in the Commons is so helpless that not one of our members was sufficiently hon- est and independent to defend our,Province We

Tue French Government has passed a bill—and passed it with a great deal of eagerness—to legalize the prosecution of General Boulanger and his colleagues before the Senate. Of course the Senate will not let the General off very easily. He has de- clared himself in favor of the abolition of that body, and it would be absurd to expect them to refuse to convict him, At present the General is in Brussels in constant com- munication with his friends. If the Belgian Government give him notice to leave, it 18 said that Sir Edward Watkins has promised him a refuge in England.

I have been asked what rebellion is re- ferred to in the Homily from which I quoted an extract a few weeks ago. I think it is probably that of the Earls of Northum- berland and Westmoreland in the north of England, in the autumn of 1569; for in the passage immediately following that which I quoted occur these lines :

** And though some rebels bear the picture of the five wounds painted against those who put their only hope of salvation in the wounds of Christ, and though they do bear the image of the cross painted on a rag, : yet let no good and godly subject follow such standard-bearers of rebellion.”

Now, Collier says ;

** However, the insurrection went on, and the rebels made their first march to Durham. They had the five wounds of Christ repre- sented in some of their colors. One Richard Norton, an ancient gentleman, carried the standard with a cross in it.”

I think a comparison of these passages will shew that it was the North Counties rebellion of 1569 which was referred to,

fhe following from Emerson on the power of silence is worth preserving and remembering :— .

‘** What a strange power there is in Silence / How many resolutions are formed—how many sublime conquests effected—during that pause when the lips are closed and the soul secretly feels the eye of her Maker upon her! When

work as cheaply as Nova Scotians. ihe other member for Queen's is just as Mr. Welsh in his labers to in-

jure the Province. The pe yple of Mount

aligent as

Stewart have been petitioning for a wharf at that place. Mr. Davies referring to these petitions, and a meeting held at

Mount Stewart, said :

‘1 wrote te the Secretary of the meeting

that in my opinion the local Government was

some of those cutting, sharp, blighting words |

within them, and the spirit of evil or their

guardian angel is very nearto them in that | hour. During that pause they have made | a step toward heaven, or toward hell, and an | item has been scored in the {book which the | day of judgment shall see opened. They are

the strong ones of the earth, the mighthy food for good or evil—those who know how to! keep silence when it isa pain and grief to} them ; those who give time to their own souls | to wax strongagainst temptation, or to the} powers of wrath to stamp apon them their withering passage. 2 @

Chie proper party to build it. . . I was | not aware that the Dominion Government had at uy time or In any prov ince constructed pters in places like that. ... The im- pression prevails in local Government circles, | that, owing to the decision given hy the| Supreme Court of Canada in the case of |

Keimuth and the Crown, the Dominion Gov- | > , . . } rument have the duty thrust on them of con- |

structing wharves and piers in all tidal rivers. In that opinion I do not coincide.”

This is what Mr. Davies calls advocating the claims of his constituents! It is plainly to be seen that Mr. Davies’ object was to coax att unfavorable expression from Sir Hector Langevin regarding the wharf at Mount Stewart. But notwithstanding all the cheap advice given, and the objections against the Dominion building the wharf so strongly urged by Mr. Davies, Sir Hector replied, ‘* Of course we have built wharves on the Saguenay River, but that is a deep and « large river.”

Can it be doubted for one moment that if we had at Ottawa who would earnestiy urge the case the wharf at Mount Stewart weuld be built. The Hillsborough River is as wide as the Saguenay, and abundantly deep for navigation ; and, be- sides. the Dominion has already admitted ts right by maintaining other piers on the Hillsborough.

But what can we expect when our representatives work against us ?

iiome Rule.

WHAT LORD SALISBURY HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT. Lord Salisbury delivered an address at Bristola few days ago. He spoke of the growth of the Primrose League, which, he said, was marvellous. The league, he de- clared, was of transcendant value in the so- lution of any current political question, as it was a noble instrument with which to blend the classes and the masses. He hoped that ere long the Government would settle the troubles which were menacing the internal peace of the nation. The Government was confronted with a combi- nation of political opposition with preda- tory greed such as no Government had ever faced before. The Government re- lied upon the continued confidence of the country to enable it to overcome this com- bination. Lord Salisbury ridiculed the agitation in favor of home rule in Ireland. He declared that the county of Cornwall, by its distinct racial origin, its language, its tradition and its history, had as much

claim for a separate Parliament as lreland. The nationality argument was insincere. It was more fruitful of

sophistry and clap-trap, and more bar- ren of solid sense than anything that was ever before the country. It would sacrifice the first interests of industry and com- merce to & mere empty sentiment. The Unionists were confronted with two phal- anxes, one political, the other criminal, both converging to a common end, and that is to make the execution of the law in Ire- land impossible. It was a miserable spec- tacle to see members of Parliament stand- ing up to defend embezzlement and fraud. The Unionists, conscious of their high call- ing, ought not to allow personal considera- tious to enter into electoral questions. They should not poach on each other's grounds, but should combine in support of the man most likely to win. He said the Government had not added to the cost of a defence without reflection. In the event of a variance with European countries an enemy might come from the coast line be- tween Schleswig and France. It was a grave thing for any manto to propose to add the coast line of Ireland te England’ responsibility of defence by giv; x “la i independenc>, Y giving Ireland et nenstrtietinennes

I am quite conscious of that, but it is my misfortune, and I cannot help it. I find in my commen- place book an extract from Carlyle; it is in Kis least unpleasing style, but the manner- ism of its author is plainly visible. It is as follows, and a noble passage it is. Some of your readers might care to give it a piace in their note-book :

** The whole world calls for new work and nobleness. Subdne mutiny, discord, wide- spread despair, by manfulness, justice, mercy and wisdom. Chaos is dark, deep as hell ; let light be, and there is, indeed, a green flowery world. Oh, it is great, and there is no other greatness ! To make some work of God’s creation a little fruitfuller, better, more worthy of God, to make some human hearts a little wiser, manfuller, happier, more blessed, less accursed. Itis a work for a God! Sooty hell of mutiny and savagery and despair, can, by man’s energy, be made a kind of heaven, cleared of its soot, of its mutiny, of its need to mutiny; the everlasting arch of heaven’s azure overspanning it too, and its cunning mechanisms, and tall chimney steeples asa birth of heaven! God and all men looking on it well pleased.”

+ +

'

This is a fine passage, and no little food for reflection. Dr. Chalmers said much the same thing, but how differently !—to my mind much more pleasantly, and far more effectually. He says:

‘**Thousands of men breathe, move and live, pass off the stage of life and are heard of no more. Why? They do not partake of good in the world, and none are blessed by them; none could point to them as the means of their redemption; not a line they wrote, not a word they spake, could be re- called; and so they perished; their light went out in darkness, and they are not remember- ed more than insects of yesterday. Will you thus live and die, O, man immortal? Live for something. Do good and leave behind you a monument of virtue that time can never des- troy. Write your name in kindness, in love, in mercy, on the hearts of the thousands yon come in contact with year by year; you will never be forgotten. No! Your name, your deeds; will be as legible on the hearts you leave behind you as the stars on the brow of evening, for good deeds will shine as the stars of heaven.”
