GREAT

Tue anti-Coercion meeting in the Lyceum last evening was one of the largest, niost enthusiastic and best conducted meet- ings ever held in this city. All classes, nationalities and creeds were represented. 4 number of ladies graced the occasion with their presence. His Worship Mayor Haviland presided, and the undersigned acted as secretary. The chairman

pened the meeting with a few appropriate emarks and called upon,-—

R. R. Frezceracp Esq., Q. C., who sub nitted and read the following resolution ;

Whereas, We, Her Majesty's loyal subjects,

tizens of Charlottetown, having learned that the Imperial Pariiament are about pass- +» a most stringent Coercion Act for enforce ment in Lreland, doa this public meeting of to express our extreme reyret

iLiZzens desire

it the intraduection of such a measure. And Whereas, In the face of constant and sartiess eviction of tenauts from their homes,

the returns presented to the House of Com aons the Kingdom of Ireland to be singularly free from crime.

And Whereas, We, in this Province, afte: mauy years’ enduraace of the evils consequent upon a systenrof land tenure similar to that which prevails in Ireland, have, asa_self- voverning people, made the tenant the owner of the soil which he tills and a prosperous and contented subject.

Therefore Resolved, That we desire to ex- press mur sympathy with the efforts which are being made to give Ireland such a measure of self-government as we enjoy, believing that a Coercion Act such as is proposed will ouly further exasperate the Irish people, and is an Act unnecessary by reason of the absence of crime to justify it, and is unparalleled in the history of a civilized nation dealing with its own subjects. ‘

After the applause which greeted the re- solution had subsided he delivered a telling speech in support thereof. He opened by regretting the necessity for calling the meeting, and by briefly referring to the benefits we in Canada enjoy as a result of having self-government. He then pro- ceeded tm discuss the Coercion Act, which he denotnced as a terribly tyrannical mea- sure. In 1881, he said, the members from Ireland were in faver of coercing the [rish people; but with the franchise act of 1885 the people were given certain privi- leges, as a resuit of which about five-sixths of the Irish representatives were sent to Parliam@at: to protest against coercion. We in Canada would not submit to coercion ene hour. In the face of the pro- tests of the people there has been fastened upon Ireland this act of coercion, an act which humanity the world over repudiates as _— tyrannical in the extreme. He felt happy to be able to move the resolution and to say a few words in favor of Ireland. He did not believe there was an Irishiian in Canada who would raise his little finger against our beloved Queen or our country. It was not Her Majesty but her advisers who were to be blamed for the many acts of tyranny perpetrated against Ireland. Some people think the Lrish are disloyal, but heas an {rishinan , repudiated such an idea—he never wished his children or grand-children to have it-thrown up to them that he (Mr. F.) was disloyal to the British Crown. Jreland had coercion in 1881 and now had it again. “Both times the act was made law in the face ot the protests of the people and their fepresentatives. Under its evil iufluences many of lreland’s best men were marched off to prison and placed in felons | cells, and « large number of Lreland’s re atatives in Parlimment are happy te * x su pe-t after{theirnimes.

then proceeded tu show from the letters read by Mr. Harrington, M. P.,in the Commons the different qualitications claimed by the many applicants for judical positions, and showed clearly that the one who was an-

tagonistic to the best interest of Irelatid was |

. always taken, while he who was in favor of giving even-handed justice was invariably rejected. He (Mr. F.) ‘thought we, as C.sulians, were perfectly justified in as- seib'ing here to-night to protest against this iniquitous Coercion Act. Under this Bvt priests were marvhed vif tv prison for

refusing to betray the confidence of their people, members of parliament occgpied felons cells, and the liberty of the people viceroy of Ireland. He hoped this state of affairs would not long continue, this glorious Jubilee year would witness the dawn of a better day for Lreland--that

in Canada so much appreciate— self-govern- ment.

A. B. Warsurton, Esq., had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. The last speaker had gone so ably and fully into the subject matter of the resolution, that there was little left for him to say. He tuok a broad view of this coercion act, and in discussing it to-night he would not look upon it as a measure framed especially against Irishmen, but would discuss it upon the principle whether it is right or whether it is wrong. He, himself, thought it was wrong. This business of restricting the liberty of any particular people was wrong in principle and had a disastrous effect. The Irish people had been coerced for hundreds of years. Many questions are aroused by this subject of coercion. We have had great changes of Governments in the Old pCoantey, in recent years. He thought all these Governments were sincere in what they did towards Ireland, and that no particular one was entitled to more praise or censure than the other. He, however, differed with many of these Gov- ernments as to the justice of the measures adopted for the government of Ireland. We all find fault with coercion and think it is wrong. He (Mr. W.) had visited Ire- land several times and thought a great deal if it and its people. The persecution of he Irish people was the cause of much of the evils of lreland. However there was noth ng like the crime in Ireland that there was in other parts of the world. Why, there was more crime in Prince Edward island, comparing population, than there vas ia freland at the present day ; aud in P. E. Island we are remarkably free froin Whatever crime there was in lre-

crime. land it had its origin in the galling laws ander which the people labor, When a matter came up on this Island iffecting the tenants, party lines

were dropped and all united to -remove the grievance. This had the eflect desired, ind resulted in great benetit to the tenants. This was the course which he tiought should be pursued in Ireland, and he had no doubt of the good results which would follow. He did not think that any good would result from going back over Ire- land’s past wrongs, but he was of opinion that her future prospects should be care- fully considered and discussed. We, as Irishmen, do not oppose coercion because it is against Irishmen, but because tle prin- ciple is wrong, no matter towards whom applied. He remembered that some years ago there was arebellion in Poland. We sympathized with them because the rebel- lon was for a justcause, but he hoped there would be no cause for a rebellion in Ire- land. We find that Gladstone, one of the yreatest statesmen in the world, has seen the error of his ways and is now advocating for justice to Ireland with even more vigor than he formerly did in opposing the granting of remedial meas- ures. Some people thought that we in Canada should not interfere with the pro- ceedings of the British Parliament. It was needless, he said, for him to say that he was not one of those who thought so. He was of opinion that we should give our countrymen on the other side of the Atlan- tic our moral support at least in their battle for rights and privileges which we ourselves enjoy, and which we so much appreciate. He could not see why the people of Ireland could be expected to submit to what we ourselves wouli not tolerate. He closed by expressing the hope that a happy future was in store for Ireiand, as a result of her return to self-government.

OweEN Conno.ty, Esg., said it afforded him great pleasure to*support the resolu- tion and in any way to assist the cause of Ireland. While in Ireland he had witnessed many acts of tyranny perpetrated towards the poor peasant. He thought, however, that in many cases the landlord knew nothing of what was going on. The agent or middleman runs the business as he pleases. He thought the evils of landlord- ism were at the bottom of most of the erime in Ireland. Tenants were thrown out on the highway, and many other acts of heartless cruelty were committed against the Irish people under the protec- tion of the laws of the land. He hoped an era of prosperity was in store for Ire- land, and concluded Sy again expressing heartfelt sympathy with the resolution submitted.

His Honor Jupce Reppin remarked in vpening that he did not expect to be called upon to make a speech, but nevertheless it atforded hun great pleasure to say some- thing im tavor of the resolution. He had heard it said that we were disloyal to oue Queen and country in meeting here toe- nicht for the purpose of condemning thatin- ijuitous ineasure, the Coercion Act. This stabemeits Was not correct. We are not here to interfere with the rights and privi- eges of the British Parliament, but simply co progest against the passage of the bill. ie could see no harm in that. There was ne harm in syinpathizing. with our fellow countrymen in distress, Coercion . was tyraunicai in the extreme, and would open up an era of blood, dynamite, ete., and was destructive of the best interests of the country. The people of Ireland ask for their rights and nothing more. They ask for Home Rule and they get a Cvercion Act! They ask for bread and Salisbury gives themastone! We willsee whether or uot they will take the stone! The pre- sent parliament of England does not re- present the majority of the people of Eng- land, but the minority. Some of the wealthy electors who voted for Salisbury’s Gov- ernment have from twenty to forty votes, and as a result thereof the Gladstone Gov- ernment and Home Rule were defeated at

{the pulls. The civilized world was up in

He upou every British subject to unite in asking that jus- tice be accorded poor down-tredden Ire- land, whose cup of bitterness was full to | dverfluwing. Rev. Faraer Burks, on coming for- ward, said he did not think an apology was necessary for his being at the meet- _ing and addressing the large and _intelli- gent assemblage present in support of the

and that,

she would be granted that boon which we)

for Ireland's riehts were such distinguished prelates as the Bishop of CasLel and the Bishop of Dablin. Where these men led, he, a humble Irish-Canadian priest, need not fear to follow. He was happy to see an Englishman inthe chair, and to hear him express himself in sympathy with Ire- ‘land, A brighter day was dawning in Ire- land. We see light behind the hills. We have Gladstone with us. We have the British Empire and the whole civilized world at our back. Success is at hand. Coercion will contribute more towards the freeing of Ireland than any other act sub- mitted. He considered it the duty of every person who detests oppression, to raise his voice against this measure of coercion. We are asked why we as Canadians pro- test against this act? We protest because we do not forget the past wrongs of Ireland, and because the Irish heart is always sym- pathetic. It is said also that Ireland is incapable of governing itself. We hurl back this taunt in the teeth of those who give it. Look at Irishmen the world over and we find them occupying proud positions ; we tind them competing successfully with men of other countries, and doing so with eminent success. This fact, he thought, was a sufficient refutation of that argument. It is charged also that Irishmen are dis- loyal and carry these disloyal sentiments with them wherever they go. Such was not the case. The Irishinan brought with him to the land of his adoption sound moral principles and those qualities cal- culated to make good subjects. He brought no treason, but a longing for his rights and memory of his wrongs. A_ celebrated Irish-American poet had put the case of Irish-Americans in its proper light in a recent poem already celebrated :—

No treason we bring from Erin—nor bring we shame or guilt;

The sword we hold may be broken, but we have not dropped the hilt !

The wreath we bear to Columbia is twisted of thoris, not bays;

And the songs we sing are thoughts ot desolate days.

But the hearts we bring for freedom are wos)- ed in the surge of cears;

And we claim our right by a People’s fight outliving a thousand years.

saddened by

Yes, notwithstanding all the oppressive . measures which have been heaped upon ireland by an alien government we tind that Irishmen are the best subjects any country can get. They give the law all their moral support, and unmistakable proofs of their loyalty whenever permitted. As an instance of this he cited Lord Aber- deen's administration. Balfour saysthat [re- land is now in a highly disturbed condition and prolific of crime. Gladstone, who is just as well informed, says this statement is false. As a result of Balfour's statement the iniquitous Coercion Act is introduced. Two of the clauses of this act have been well explained by the gentleman who in- troduced the resolution, but there are six other clauses—eight in all—equally iniqui- tous which he would explain for the in o--' mation of the audience. The first clause provides for power to examine witnesses in a star chamber; the second to abolish trial by jury; the third to change the venue whenever a conviction is required ; the fourth to provide for special juries to be hadfor the asking; the fifth provides for the expertation of prisoners to England fur trial—that is when they want to hang them ; the sixth provides that these privi- leges be enjoyed by all proclaimed districts; the seventh provides for the suppression of | the National League at the will of the Lord | Lieutenant ; the eighth provides that no limit shall be placed to the duration of the Act. This is trulya nice measure! Is it any wonder the whole world is up in pro- test against it’ No wonder that we, in

ernment.

‘to the lecturer, Mr. Doull.

Prince Edward Island raise our voices against it. Let us send our solemn pro- test across the Atlantic. Letus congratu- late Gladstone and Parnell on their noble fight and wish them God speed in the cause | they have espoused. If Ireland obtains! the boon which she asks for, she will, with- out doubt be one of the proudest and! brightest gems in the crown of Victoria. |

T..A. McLean, Ese., C. C., said he had | much pleasure in supporting the resolu- | tion. He would not make a long speech. | He was a Scotchman, and was proud of it. | Gladstone was Scotch, and Parnell bore the | proud Scottish name of Charles stewart. The | battle now being fought was as much in the | interest of Scotland as of Ireland. He; thought the people of both Scotland and! [reland should waite in thisagitation. The fight is one for liberty. At present the masses are arrayed against the classes. This should not be, He thonght that Heme Rule was but a matter of time, and that Gladstone, Parnell, andthe others who were withthem in the noble fight would live to see the priceless boon con- ferred.

J.5. Macponatp, Esq, supported the resolution with much pleasure. He thought the subject had been well treated by the previo us speakers. He would ask those people who wanted to know why we pro- iesied, how they would hke to be treated as Ireland is? He thought they would not stand it very jong. We have a right to give the people of the Ol Country to un- dersiand that we até Opposed 16 the action of the Home Government. — Lrishnien make the best and most loyal citizens no matter where their lot may be cast. Right here in Prince Edward Island we have many instances of this fact. We have an irish Leader of the Local Government, an. lrish Stipendiary Magistrate, Imsh Judges. in King’s and Prince Counties, Irish Priests, as well as ILrish citizens of wealth and influence. Who shall say that these men are disloyal or are not goud citizens ? It is our bounden dury to -tell Salisbary what we think of the manaeria which he is triating Ireland.

P. Biake, Ese., M P. P., came to the meeting asa listener and did not expect ta be called upon to speak. Huwever he had much pleasure in supporting the reso- |

by |

lution. He was pleased at seeing the Mayor in the chair, and was pleased also at the fact that the audience was repre- sentative of all creels.and nationalities. All sympathised with the Irish people on this occasion, and protested against this measure of coercion. So tar ‘as he could learn there was nd necessity | for this coercion. There was no crime worth speaking of in Ireland, He repudiated the | , idea that it was disloyal for us to protest ‘against this coercion act Ireland was , receiving sympathy from other parts of the | | world, and the little Island of Prince | ‘Edward should not be behind-hand.

the wouldy in |

a resolution of censure similar to those sub- mitted at this meeting. Ireland has up- wards of five inillio: s of people— more than the entire population of Canada-—yet she is without a parliament of her own, and her laws are made and unmade by aliens who know little or nothing about the wants | of the people. It is a strange and | short-sighted —_ policy which does not grant this boon to Ire- land and Scotland. Both want it. Home , Rule is certain notwithstanding Coercion | Bills. The Lrish people have the world at their back in this agitation. Only a few years ago it was considered treasonable tu talk in favor of Home Rule. Howéver, the | public mind has undergone a change and | now most right thinking men are Home Rulers. The agitation for Home Rule. is constitutional and legitimate. Gladstone would soon be returned to power again and | he (Mr. B.) hoped his life would be spared | to secure for the people of Ire-| land the boon which they ask for. We on the Island are familiar with the thraldom of landlordism, ana would not return to it again on any account. Yet the hardships our tenantry underwent are in- significant compared with those of the Lrish peasant. Some of our tenants had leases, but the Irish tenant is at the whim of the landlord. What a blighting curse that’ must be to the people of Ireland? When Ireland gets Home Rule this curse will be removed. The people do not want to take the property from the landlord without paying for it. They will pay a reasonable valuation therefor. Through this system many of the farmers on the Island are free- holders to-day. If [reland had our privi- leges she would be one of the brightest jewels in the coronet of Queen Victoria.

The resolution was here put and carried unanimously amid applause.

M. P. Hoaan, Esq., then moved the fol- lowing resoiation:—

Resolved, That we express ovr satisfactiva with the manner in which Gladstone and Par- nell are fighting the battles of the Enylish and Irish peoples, and trust that their uavemitting eiforts wil shortly be crowned with success.

He supported the resolution in a_ brief speech, expressive of sympathy for the Irish people in their strugges for self-gov-

Crnxus SHaw, Esa, M. P. P., seconded the resolution in a few eloquent remarks.

Owen Conno.ty, Esg., then stepped for- ward and moved that the following tele- gram be transmitted to Gladstone and Par- nell: —

** Meeting of the citizens of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, the Mayor in the chair, addressed by representatives and prominent citizens, condemns Coercion and greets Glad- stone and Parnell.”

The remarks of the different speakers were greeted with rounds of applause.

A vote of thanks was tendered the chairman, who in returning thanks, took occasion to remark that ..the meeting was the most orderly over which he had ever presided.

Meeting adjourned.

Tue treatment of the subject of the ‘*Motive Power of Electricity ” was a credit By means of experiments and diagrams he showed the various ways in which Electricity may be put in practical use ; and the economical value of it as compared with steam. The experiments were to the point,and with the experiments therein made by Mr. Doull, were very interesting. The different modes

stand. The dynamo of the telephone, forming as it does a good example of the principle of all dynamos was also explained, as was the telephone itself. The phono- grapher, as governed by the same princi- ple of vibration as the telephone, was dis- cussed thoroughly. A good debate followed on the various pvints raised by Mr. Doull, and the large audience compos- ed of ladies and gentlemen gave him a_cor- dial vote of thanks.

No. 3 Company's Cup.

We were yesterday afternoon shown the haudsoime cup designed and manufactured specially for No. 3 Co., 82nd Battalion, and imported through Mr. E. W. Taylor, Watchmaker and Jeweler of this city.
