PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE

ere

The Draft Address—Able and Ex- . Ra haustive Speech by Mr. Shaw.

Turspay, May 15.

At the afternoon session Mr. Shaw re- eumed the debate On the draft address. The speech of the Leader he looked upon as one of the most incoherent that he had ever lisiened to in the House, Cre Leader had endeavored to cast blame upon the Opposit for the troubles connec with the Wise matter. But if there was odium to attach to any one in connection with the matter it was to be laid upon the Government, more particularly the Lead- er. On the Opening day, after the ing of the Governor’s speech, usage a parliamentary practice was departed from. We were tol jafter the Governor eft tha the returns of certain elections would not be tabled until it suited the Govern- ment to letus havethem. This was th word from the Leader. Then we demand. ed the resignation of Mr. Wise, but th

Speaker wanted a precedent for handing it over to the clerk where it could be seen by hon, members, Theo the Speaker said he

i did not have the resigaation, that the Gov-

ernor hadit. Bat about half an hour later he put his hand io his pocket and pulled out the very resignation be said he had given to tke Governor. The Leader was the only man who rose in his place when Mr. Wise was being expelled. He arozein his placeand walking across the room shook his fist in the face of the non. member for Souris. Heit was who also walked across the floor of the House aad taking out his “watch acted as if timing the rounds of a prize fight. The Leader seems very partial tothe hon. member for the First District of Prince. But he has notalways been so partial to the Acadians. Ata meeting in Vernon River, when speaking to another class of people, he said the result of the election in Tig nieh did not amount to much; that it was only one Frenchman who had defeated

another and it did not make much difference which of them won. Then the Leader was ad- dressing men of another nationality.

Toe Premier can be Irish, Scotch, Eng- lish, or French when it suits him. He ca be all things toall men, but after al! he ia nothing uta political pablican and sinner. Mr. Shaw then took up _ the liquor license law passed last session. In this very act itis expressly stated chat itis a license law. To hear the Leader talk on temperance one would think that he was rearec atthe feet of Neal Dow and that the mantle of Father Mathew had fallen upon him. Bat what are the facts. The liquor law as first introduced provi i-~ vided that saloons were toclose at four o'clock, that barmaids were notto be al- lowed and that c’ubs were to be closed. It was said by the hon. member for St. Peter’s that the Leader was actuated by spite io bringing in such a bill. But evidently the rum element took hold of the Leader and the result is that he went back on al! his temperance pretensioas. The outcome is the lic*nse act which is now law in Charlottetown. Mr. Shaw then took up the matter of the new Prince of Wales College, and referred to the various contracts and estimates in con- nection therewith. After making certain changes in the plansa private contract was entered into with Macdooald & Schur- man for $28,000. Their previous cou. tract wae $35,800, and ia it reasonable to suppose that they would give up this con- tract for one for $28,590 if they were no

making a good thiog out of it. Tue Gov- eroment aid the College wouli not cost more than $18,000 ready for cecu pation, but it has cost upwards of $35,- 000. So much for the ability displayed by these heaven-born financiers. Reafer- ring to the asylam matter, he asserted that the inmates had been treated to food not fit for human beiogs and that snow came in through the wiadows upon the lunatics. The Leader had tried to pre- vent the publication of the reports of the investigation, and even yet the offizial re- port ie not forthcoming. When it is tabled the Opposition will bave no hesita- tion in discharging aduty they owe the inmatesof thst institntion. When Pre- mier Peters borrowe! the $75,000 a few years ago he intimated that a portion of that sum was to go towards the building of an annex to the asylum. But the moner was all spent, and not a brick of the annex had been laid. The eum of $26,000 had also been obtained for eteel bridges and the annex, but only $2,000 or

$3,(00 of it went for thet purpore. The money is spent ard no anvex is built. Under the cir:

cumstances he was surprised a’ the para graph inthe speech regarding a further granttowards the asyium aenex. It is also stated in the speech that an improve- ment is to be made in the matter of roade. This seme thing was also intimated in previous speeches; but the roads today are in @ worse condition than ever before in the history of the province. Reference is also made in the speech io the prospsr- ity of the province. The mover and seconder of the address would seek to have us believe that this prosperity was due to the Liberals. Itis true that the Do- minion Goveroment have inspired the manufacturere wih coafidence. The Liberals retained the protectionist policy of the Conservatives so far as that policy was necessary in the interests of the country, and in this way they impressed the peopie with a sense of security, The Liberals are giyen credit for the pros- perity of the country when the credit really belongs to the Conservatives. Where were the Liberals when the Gone servatives were purchasing the Nortb- west from the Hudson Bay Company? Did they not oppose the enterprise at every step? Where were they when the Conservatives were open- ing up the cynals and thus developing the country? There was a universal revival in trade throughout the world, and no

credit for that measure which is enjoyed by | St. Pe cr’s Bay, South Sid , Canada can be claimed by the Libera!

paragraphs io the speech relating to the war in South Africa. He said he did net intend to discuss the causes that led up to the breaking out of hostilities by the invasion of British territory by the forces of the Transvaal aud Orauge Free State. It has been charged by speakers on the other side of the House that the Conservatives opposed the sending of troops to the seat of war. Now what are the facts? On the 10th of August last the Dominion Parliament was prorogued. Daring tbat session Col. Hughes drew the attention ot the Government to the trouble brewing in South Africa, He pointed out that Queensland made ap offer of troxps to the Imperial aushorities, that New Z:aland followed in like manner, and expre-sed the opinion that Canada should also offera contingent. Sir Wil- frid Laurier refused, hoping, as he stated, that the trouble would be settled without recourse toarm?, Toward the middle of September hostilities broke out by the in vasiun ot British territory, bat no action was takeo by the Dominion Govern ment. About the 20th of September Sir Charles Tupper telegraphed Sir Wilfrid Laurier trom Yarmouth ask- ing him to furnisb a contingent stating that in this couree he would be supported by the Opposition. But still Sir Wilfrid besitated, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmanis, and even the smal! colony of Hong Kong sent troops to aid the Mother Country io her hour of dis- tress ; but Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who occu- pied the proud position of being in the van of the procession at the jubilee of 1897, refused in that hour to render as~ sistance. On the afternoon of October 3rd Sir Wilfrid Laurierin an intervier with a representative of the Toronto Globe defined the position of the Goveroment in regard to eending troops to Soutb Africa. ‘ vhere existed a great deal of miss conception ia the couutry regarding the powers of the Government inthe present case,” said Sir Wilfrid. “As I under. stand the Militia Law, and I may say that | bave given it eome study of late, onr volunteers are engaged to be used in the defence of the Domini no. Thbry are Canadian troops to be used to fight for Canada’s defence. Perhaps the most widespread apprehension is that they canot be sent out of Canada. To my caind itis clear that cases might exist when they might be eent to a foreign Jaad to fight. To postulate a case :—Suppose that Spain should declare wer upoa Great Britain. Spain has, or had,a wavy, and that navy might be got ready to assai) Canada asa part of the Empire.

The goverument of Canada is restricted in its powers. It is responsible to parliament and it can do very little without the per- mission of parliament. There is no doubt as 10 the attitude of ‘he government on ail questions that mean menace to Britieh in- tereste, but in this present case our limita- tions are very clearly defined. And go it is that we bave not offereda Canadian contingent 1.0 the home authorities. The militia daly transmitted individual offers to the Imperial government, and the reply from the War Office as published in

Saturday’s Glube shows their attitude on the qretim. “As to Canada furnienirg a contingent,

the government has not discussed the question, for the reasons whieh I have stated—reasons which I think must be easily understood by every one who under- stands the conetitutional law on the ques- tion. The statement in the M ‘itary Gazette, publisbed this morning, is a pure inveo'ion. Far from possessing any foun- dation, in fact itis wholly imagination.” When this statement wae made public by the Globe on October 4th a storm of indignation swept throughout the length and breadth of ourfair Dominion Sogreat ¢

The days of the greatness

of Greece were not ia the days of Mura- thon, but it was when Leonidas with his devoted band held the Persians in check at the pass of Thermopy' and laid down their lives in order that Greece wou!d be enabled te coacentrate her army and fleet
