The Government Blunders, Gets inte a Pet and Adjourns the House,

Orrawa, April 7—The House of Com- mons sat less than au hour yesterday. The reason was that the Government tried to get the motion for the second reading of a bill passed before it was read; and when objection was taken Mr. Laurier refused to allow any other business to be done, and adjourued the House.

The Superannuation Bill was the meas- ure the Government had set its heart on.

La Riviere says that Manitoba bad no such feeling in the matter, and reminded the Speaker thatthe bill had not been printed in both languages as the rule requires,

Mr. Laurier asked that the rule be waived but Mr. LaRiviere did not consent, while Sir Charles Tupper and Mr. Foster pointed out that the measure was not pressing for immediate attention and that the order paper contained enough other bills to occupy several weeks. But Mr. Laurier was angry and would have. his bills or nothing. He got nothing.

Whip faylor said that his Alien Labor bill was ready and wanted. to go on with it, but Mr, Laurier announced that the Gov- ernment intended to press its measures through and would not give private mem- bers any preference.

Hon. Mr. Foster pointed out, sgain, that the Mouse could proceed with questions and motions,

Butthe Premier remained in a pet. Davies raged a little, and Casey, hot sup- porter of the Government as he is, put his foot into it by saying that one reason why the Ministers were willing to adjourn was that Hon. Mr. Fielding wanted time to get his budget ready. So the day was wasted, firet through the blunders and secondly througbthe pettishness of the Government. But there is an impression that Mr. Casey is not far out of the way when he says that the Government is in no hurry.

It is not true that Sir Charles Tupp:r went to Mottreal to see the Ablegate. The Jatter sent Bhim a letter of intro- duction andSir Charles called on him here yestertay in response to the letter as common politeness required nim to do. Mr. Laurier waited on Mgr. Merry Del Val on Sunday, Mr. Tarte on Monday and Senator Power, yesterday.

THE CRETAN MATTER.

SITUATION DISTINCTLY

IMPROVED.

France Supporting Great Britain,

Loxpon, April 7.—No important chang- es have taken place in the attitude of Greece, Turkeyor the Powers. But the general impression is that the situation has been distinctly improved.

The Greek Independence Day, which it was feared would cause hostilities on the frontier, passed almost uneventfully.

There is no longer any doubt'that France is snpporting Lord Salisbury and is in favor of a milder policy. Russia, there- fore, is not likely to insist upon a severe measure against Greece.

ANONYMOUS SCRIBBLERS AGAIN.

Sin,—In your issue of the 26th ult.. appears an article signed “Observer,” which I wish to inform you is a tissue of malicious faleehoods from beginning to

end, There was no public meeting at Kast Baitic. Nor did tbat schooloouse and hall at the Glen yet materialize

Neither can my barn be seen at @ distance of six miles, jam building an ordinary- sized barn, which, when completed, will suit my requirements,

We regret to state that too many false reports have of late years been forwarded and published in THe Examiner and Patriot newspapers, from this eastern sec— tion, thus deceiving the pubiishera avd the reading public, and not creditable to the shallow craninms from which such rig- maroles emanated So far as Glencorrodele is concerned we were free from such ficti- cious news items, until our members were augmented by recent contingents, rome of whom, in ail probability, carried those propensities from (other parts. We pre- sume they were assisted by a silly fop, who made himself ridiculous by his yells and insults in passing my residence at vertaip times.

In conclusion, we hope to see no more of such malicious scribbling; but, if they choose to attack me or my surroundings in future they must write over their sig- natures, as | am always prepared to staud up for truth aad justice.

PLEBISCITE VOTE.

Sir,—This morning’s Guardian an- nouuees editorially that *‘it is semi-official ly announced that the goverument wi!l not feel obliged to bring in a probibitory law unless a clear majority of all the electors of the country ask for it,” and summarily dismisses this mo-t extraordinary an- nouncement by giving the calculation that it will require 500,000 yes votes to meet this requirement.

Now, Mr. Editor, when the temper ance people accepted the government’s offer of testing the strength of the temperance vote 1@ such a condition was as much as named aud should be protested against at once by all probib:tionists before being officially avnounced.

Let us consider whst that con‘ ition means—my information On ihe registered vote of Cauvada at present gives it at 1,355,- »35, and a majority of that vote would be 676,868 imstead of 500,000 as given by the Guardian. And taking the vote polied at the last general election, 890,711 it Will be seen that over seventy-five per cent. of the vote then polled will be necessary to saiirfy that condition. But it is quite evident judging by the votes polled at C. ‘I. A. contests and on the plebiscites taken in Ontario, Maniteba, Nova Scotia aud P. E. Island, that we cannot get out a total vote to exceed 600,000 or less than the vote required by the condition named. That ie, if the votes polled do not-exceed 676,868 it will require to be unanimous. Will any save man predict such a vote? The requirement varned is, in the light of the information we have, ene impossible of folfilment, and we should understand it at once; and if the Guardian’s statement be correct, abandcn the contest before spending avy turtber time or energy over it. Butsurely it cannot be true; for the Government must have a higher idea of the intelligence of the temperance people than to suppose they would go into a contest so quixotie. In conclusion, I hope the temperauce peo- ple will not be silent on this matter, for now is the time to epeak out. | There are other points in connection with sueh a condition that I would like to touch on, but this letter is now too lengtig.

Yours truly, JOHN ANDERSON,

PROMISE AND PRACTICE.

Sin,—Io answer to a question asked by Mr. McCormack, M. P., in the House of Commons a few davs ago, Mr. Davies, Minister of Marine, said that the Govern- ment would adhere as closely as possible to the rule not to appoint any lightkeeper over 40 years old,

Two new lightkeepers have been ap- pointed in this Lot and both of them are over tiity-five vears old. There. was also a number of young men well qualified for the position made application, bur were all passed over and Mr, Wiggins, brother-in- law of Mr. Davies, was appointed to take charge of Darley lightg and William Sinelsir, an old man, appointed to keep Fish Isiand Jight at the entrance of Mal- prque Harbor--the most important harbor on the north side of the Island. Both the previous keepers did their duty and paid good attention to the lights, But they were dismissed to make room for two hungry office seekers who know no more about Keeping lights than discovering the north pole.
