THE DAILY EXAMINER.

) _ APRIL 4, 1889, . Khe Situation,

| | We have no doubt that, in speaking as ‘he spoke yesterday, Mr. Blake—the popu-

dav and influential member for Charlotte-,

town—diq that which seemed to him a duty—an qinpleasant duty; —much thesame kind of duty to his party and the country las one of @ ship’s company performs when ihe belhheves that he sees rocks ahead, and sounds the note of alarm. This being the fact, we feel sure that those who think that Mr. Blakes mistaken, as well as those who believe that he is right, will respect his eourage angl his manliness, and honor him for his motive. A politician who has the courage of his convictions may sometimes be wrong, put he is certain at all times to command the esteem of right-feeling men. Whether right or wrong, Mr. Blake has, at all events, set his fellow-legislators think- ing about “the situation.” Certainly, the situation is not what it might be.

And, first of all, as to the cause: There ican be no doubt whatever that the main and immediaté cause is to be found in the fact that a majority of the peuple were per- suaded, by selfish partizaos of the Opposi- tion, that a sedond Legislative Chamber is necessary to the preservation of their rights and libertiesy and that the privilege of voting for members of a second Chamber is a valuable privilege to be maintained at all Had the Government been enabled to earry out their policy of economy and reform to its fullest extent, they could have saved an additional $10,000 a year in respect to legislation and administration,

But a majority of the Legislative Council electors unfortunately, were, alarmed—

In this Province there are so few cases which do not come either within the sum- mary jurisdiction of the Magistrates or the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, that the extention of this Act to us will have little practical effect ; and the few persons whose cases it will reach will not unlikely prefer the uncertainty of a jury’s verdict, to the more certain decision of a single Judge.

PROVINGIAL LEGISLATURE,

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. Wepyespay, April 3. | A Bill respecting writs of execution out! of the Supreme Court was read a third time | and passed. Mr. Sinclair asked the leader of the! Government to lay upon the table of the House a written statement in full showing how the account of the Government with | jthe banks stood at the end of each month! from the lst January, 1889, until the Ist) April, inst., also what rate of interest the_ | banks have been charging the Government, ‘on overdrawn accounts during the last year and what rate of interest (if any) tho | banks paid the Government. Hon. Mr. Sullivan said the statement | ‘would be prepared and brought down to the | House. | Hon. Mr. Sullivan submitted statements’ | respecting jails of the Province. | Mr. John McLean asked the Commis-| sioner of Public Works what action the | eee intend to take with reference | |

to a petition from certain inbabitants of | Naufrage and St. Margarets asking for the | {opening of anew road from Bear River. Line Road to McKinnon’s Road ; also what

action the Government intend to take re-; ‘garding a_ petition asking for the opening

{of a read from Bourke’s Road to Groshank. ' Hon. Mr. Bentley said in respect to the first question that the Governmené were pre-

and the pared to go oa with the work as soon as the’ Province could have had $8,000 or $10,000 people have agreed upon a right of way. As‘

|to the second the road woald be opened as 'soon as possible.

59 and 66, to open several new roads and a new bridge. Hon. Mr. Bentley said the petition was now before the Government and would be | considered. | Mr. Farquharson asked the Commis-

nie ‘ arin «petition | _ of certain inhabitants of Lots 51, 54, ion|

VOL. 24.—NO. 111.

He thought that the present road system was obsolete, and suggested some changes. The Stock Farm and the stock thereon was very valuable, and cost a goud deal of money. He did not think there was any- thing in the complaint made by some _ per- sons that the farmers living in the vicinity of Charlottetown derived all the benefits therefrom. He thought, however, that the Farm world be more advantageous to farmers in :sneral if a little more money were expeicel in stocking it, and if a portion of it were set apart as an experi- mental farm for the teaching of agricul- ture. He ( «.yvht that the Government had looked aftex ourclaims upon the Do- minion Government in the matter of piers with good results, notwithstanding the statements to the contrary of the hon, member for Springton. He was of opinion also that there was no cause for alarm with reference to the financial standing of the country, that the country was now iha much better position in this respect than it would have been had the precediag Government been allowed to remain in power.

Mr. Richards complimented Mr. Blake on the independent. spirit manifested throughout his speech. He thought the finances of the country had been already pretty thoroughly discussed, and nothing that was new could well be said upon that subject. However, he was of opinion that the expenditure should not exceed the re- venue, as had been the case in past years. He did not approve of the system of draw- ing from capital at Ottawa, as he thought that if such a course were long pur- sued there would be nothing left to our credit. The amounts voted for roads and bridges were insufficient, and the same re- marks applied to the grants for the piers not taken over by the Dominion Govern. ment, many of which were fast falling into decay. He also objected to the Govern- meat largely exceeding their estimates without consulting the members of the House.

Mr. Shaw moved the adjournment of the debate.

Hon. Mr. Bentley presented the esti- mates and returns of the road supervisors for the three counties.

Mr. Bell asked the Commissioner of , Public Lands if it was the intention of the /Government to introduce a bill this session |to amend the Land Purchase Act of 1875, $0 as te extend the provisions to proprietors receiving rents of township lands less than 600 acres in the aggregate.

Hon. Mr. Ferguson said the matter was ‘under the consideration of the Govern- | ment.

persuaded by the Opposition that their '.ij,or of Public Works if the Government prescribed Scott’s Emulsion and taken it my-

properties and dearest rights would be in danger if there were no second Chamber to ‘**defend and protect”! The Government were stopped in their patriotic course. Their policy has been only partially carried out, and the result is seen in the financial situation which Mr. Blake, and those who see as he sees, view with unconcealed regret.

Now, as to what’s to be done abcut it? The policy of the Liberal-Conservative party has been to avoid direct taxation and collect the debts due the Province. This policy has been successful. Taxes have not been levied, and though there have

Province is, still, largerthan it was when the policy was begun. Messrs. Sullivan and Ferguson, speaking for tha Govern- ment, have both assured ‘the Legislature and the country that there are good grounds for believing that the claims of the Pro- vince will again be realized by Canada, and that large amounts will yet be placed to the credit of the Province by the Dominion

Government.

what the prospects are than the publie at large. They have succeeded in the past. They have kept faith with the country. Chey are entitled to the confidence of the country. Wesee no rewon why they should not be trastel to make good their state- ments. If, at the end of the present term, they find that they cannot do so, then they will, no doubt, be prepared with a well considervd and comprehensive measure ot reform to submit to the intelligence of the ecuntry, in order that it may be constitu- tionally adopted. No important step can be taken until the constituencies have been consulted. We, therefore, think that the course here indicated is, under the circum stances, the best to pursue. —————_—__ ++ ee —- —____ —

The Criminal Law Ameadment.

Tue Bill before our Local Legislature proposes to carry into effect a statute of the Dominion Parliament, extending ‘* The Speedy Trials Act” to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and this Province. This latter

st has been in force in Ontario and Quebec for some years past. It does not interfere in any way with the jurisdiction of the Justice of the Peace, or with the larger jurisdiction of Stipendiary Magistrates.

Its object is to give the Judges of the ‘County Courts in these Provinces a sum- mary jurisdiction over certain offences which otherwise must be tried before a jury. The right of being tried by a jury is

ing of a new road from Duncan Macdon- aid’s, iu the rear of Nine Mile Creek, to the main road, and if nut what is the reas- on ; also if it was the intention of the Gov- ernment to continue the steamer Southport on the Rocky Point and West River Ferries as last year, and if there are any changes of days or time to state what they are.

Hon. Mr. Bentley said that some steps) had been taken in respect to this road. As! to the second question, he was not aware’ of any changes.

' Mr. Blake said that he had full con- fidence in the Government, and gave them credit for good intentions, economy and honesty—he could not agree with them as to their financial policy. In respect to his | business, not one of the hon. gentleman i would advise him to maintain a line of con-! ‘duct which resulted in deficits year afier ‘year, No doubt our position compares |favorably with that of Nova Scotia and {New Bruuswick; but the Premivr’s com- parison with respect to Charlottetown was ‘not so happy. Thecitv of Charlottetown , was heavily in debt—but the debt has been jrolied by a policy similar to that which is now pursued by the Government. At the present time, the expenditure of the city is kept within the revenue. The citizens have learned the impolicy of their former course. Seeing that the Government had obtained a large addition to our subsidy, he had vot- ed in favor of withdrawing $200,000 from capital. He showed that our capital had increased to $1,527,549.40, as compared with $864,156.17, in 1879, showing an in- crease of $463,393.23, after the $200,000 have been withdrawn from capital. He thought this 4 good tinancial position. All the Government require to do isto change. their policy. The time has arrived when direct taxation is necessary. The Govern- ment ought to face the difficulty. The de- ficit of next year will! be just as large as it was last year, and when the Government go again to the country there will be a balance against the Province of $75,000 or $80,000. During the year he had met many persons, but he had never: met one who was not willing to pay taxes rather than draw trom our capital at Ottawa. There are many ways' in which the expenditure can be veduced. In respect to Education and the Hospital for the Insane, the Government have paid $352,000 more than they would have paid had the amounts paid under the Davies ad.’ ministration been maintained. Education is a necessary thing and a good thing ; but the amount now paid for it is entirely be- youd our means. ‘The educationai system might, however, be supplemented by Agri- cultural Education as reeommended by the Superintendnnt of Education in the course of hi» very able report. The cost of Legis- lation should certainly be cut down by the reduction of the Legislature. The Govern- ment have tried to abolish the Legislative Council. But the Opposition succeeded in persuading the electors that the Council was necessary te the preservation of the

rights of property, and, therefore, ‘the reduction could noc be made. ioe

A Bic Coxtract.—The Toronto News says : Hon. L. H. Davies is an able speaker and a forcible debater, but when he undertakes to demonstrate that a country that exports an- nually millions of bushels of grain is only waiting for the removal of the tariff barriers to buy up all the surplus product of Canadian farmers, he has on hand the largest kind of a contract. Should he and his friends succeed in convincing the agricultural community of this, they will have given proof of the per- suasive talents which would make their for- tunes in the seed wheat business or the hay- fork industry.
