His Views on Commercial

Union.

AN OUTSPOKEN OPINION.

Orrawa, Dée. 22.

Mr. Chamberlain, in an interview this evening, declined to express any! opinion on the fishery question, but expressed him self decidedly against the feasibility of Commercial Union. He stated that those who expect such a scheme seriously considered have ( ist) to agree upoh a basis or plan ; (2) to that a majority of Canadians favor the proposed schetae ; and (3) to secure a majority of the Cotigress of the United States. He was not aware that the Commercial Union advocates had yet formulated a plan, or were themselves agreed upon the most important: details. Regarding the second point, he could hasdly believe that Canadians would favor a scheme by which they would’ have to submit to have their taxation regulated bv a foreign Government, or even by a special board, on which they must necessarily have unequal representation. In reference to the sentiment on the ect in the neigh- boring country, he had not yet met a single

the opinion that the Butterworth: scheme could not possibly be adepted or ‘even ré- ceive thes upport of a respectable {minority of the American Congress. He éxpressed the opinion that Great Britain would nét refuse independence to Canada when Cati- ada desired it, but while the cénnecticn existed the Mother Country would certain- ly resent any attempt at a discriminating tariff in favor of a foreign power. :

Yours, Elksdale, Dec. 21. 1887. The Coles- Whelan Monument.

J. E. G.

At the meeting held in Messrs, Warbur- tor & Smallwood’s office last Tuesday evening, to consider the feasibitity of erecting monuments to the late Honorable George Coles and Edward Whelan, J. C. Underhay, Esq., M. P. P. inthe chair, and Mr. A. B. Warburton acting as Secretary of the meeting. Senator Howlan read numerous reports he had received as to the cost of the proposed monuments, from which it appeared that two in white or bronze, cach about 20 feet in height, cou'd be erected at a cost of $1,000 each. Senator Howlan then moved, seconded by George Sinnott, Esq., that it is desirable to erect two monuments in front of the Provincial Building in Charlottetown, one to Mr. Coles and one to Mr. Whelan, at a cost not to exceed in the whole $2,000. The follow- ing gentlemen were then appointed an executive cominittee to attend to the carry- ing out of the work and to raise subscrip- tiens: Hon. Senator Howlan, L. H. Davies, M. P., William Welsh, M. P., Martin Sinnott, (Morell), J. C. Underday, M. P. P., W. W. Sullivan, M. P. P., and A. B, Warburton. Mr. Sullivan’s nomina- tion by the St. Peter’s meeting as treasurer, was confirmed. It was also resolved that members of the Legislative Council and House of Assembly throughout the Island be requested to act as special committees in their respective districts, and that the teachers throughout the Island be asked to co-operate.

- + ee L. & S. Institute.

Mr. 0. Rarrensury, Attorney-at-Law, read an excellent paper last evening before the Literary and Scientific Institute on ‘* The Study of Science.” The paper was well prepared, and splendidly read. The manner in which this very comprehensive sibject was handled by Mr. Rattenbury shows plainly that lie has bestowed upon it an unusual amount of study, as well as much carefulthought. Ina very clear and lucid manner he endeavored to prove the study of Science over that of the dead lan- guages. He showed at great length the importance of the study of science; more particularly of chemistry, to the farmers. especially in this, an agricultural Province. Mr. Rattenbury deserves very great praise for the able manner in which he dealt with the subject of education. He fearlessly pointed out defects in our present system of educaiion in this Province, and showed to the satisfaction of his hearers that much more beneficial results would ensue if the time spent in mastering the dead languages were devoted to the study of Science. As Mr. Rattenbury’s paper will be published,

isnot necessary to make further mention fof it here.

A lively discussion followed, in which the | President, J. McDonald, P. McCourt, E. Roche, W. Smallwood, Dr. Leeming, J. McSwain, K.' J. Martin and others took part.

the Stipeadiary Magistrate and Police Com- iuittee Of the charges laid against him, there might be some grounds for this high- handed act. But seeing that be was, it certainly looks as if the worthy petitioners _who asked for his discharge were actuated , by ulterior motives, and that the mis- representative of Ward One committed an unpardonable piece of impertinence in fonoding a resolution at the dictation of a jfew men. This action of discharging in inidwinter, on a few days’ notice, an official who has served the city for nineteen years, ;savors more of Turkish brutality than of | Christian charity. One thing, however, has been discovered by this recent outrage apd that is the cruelty which hypocrisy, jcoupled with bigotry, will lead men to | perpetrate. People are asking if this city is governed by the Council or by the in- trigues of secret societies. Judging from
