THE DAILY EXAMINER.

a The Reserved Bill.

A cexriteman in King’s County has sent Tus ExsMIser some remarks in respect to the Feserved Bill. These are so mu h © the point that we give them editorial pre minence and ask for them the careful cou sideration of the public

(1.) THeGeRayMaNDER -The first qa stip we ask is, Why does the Pete s 4 ine slag : out King’s County and Kings Vounty Aine: If it is necessary to re-arrapg stricts ts make representation bear ¢q" lly as to popu! @es tion, then it is necessary tv go over the whole island and take from, and add to, so tha

and patching can snatch mejoriiies in the Second, Third and Fourth Districts of thir county, he is prep»red to lopt any mene fair or foul, to eccomplish bis purpose, *° that he m&ht enabled to retain power M0 spre § i the pe fot a number of years to come Or, if Georgetown, because of its small population, requires specis! attention more than the rest of the Island, why, in the name of common sense, do they not annex to that constituency the adjoining tand and at least follow the townsbip lines, 48 is the case in all other places “ here ger, m and has been done. But no, this is :oo honest end fair a

cnment to take

course for the present Go’ Like an eagle after its prey. they must swoop down on their opponents and take unlatr ad vantage of them. In the Murrey Harbor dis

; i trict, they step clear over L

st 59 and grab iy

by piecemeal parts of Jo's 6! and 63, practi cally disfranchising the electors f the portions of the lots thus taken. Much the s«me cours is taken inthe second and tl ird districts ;

they step clear over large trects of the and pick up here and there, #8 it suis, pot tions of lota or townships, to secare &@ larget constituency for Georgstown, rather ip reality to anduly take tull contro! of King’s County and thereby set the whole Island at detience.

(2) Tue Morrcace VoTE. —Another part ef the Reserved Bull which is grossly wrong,

is the re-enacting of the Mortgsge Vote, a relic of the dark ages, and Cot true

not worthy the sympathy and supp»! libera!l-miaded people { look upona gage on s farm or property #8 § mply a sty of the mortgagor. then ic is just ae

mort iabi

reasooable for a person heldiog @ note of hand or # book account egainst another to ex ect the right to vote op these as on a mo gage; ail the difference is that they are ditfer ent forms of liabilities lt is wrong—entire'y wrong; and no mortgagee should be allowed vote oa other people's property bee Disfranchising

(3). DisFRANCHISEMENT. — the officials urder the Federal Government,— dove not this step seem most absurd? fo

think, because a man is employed by the Do

mipion Government, he should be deprived of his franchise in Provincial «ff+irs! We know that this part of Peters’ bill will cut both ways, as there sre many liberals io the ser- vice of the Federal Government Sut at the same time, it is only fair that we should speak out in their behalf, and seek to retain for them their liberty to act and vote as they may think best in Provincial natters. They are our feilow citizens, and if they pay all

legal taxes that they are called on to pay, i

is nothing less than tyranny to disfrenchise

them.

(4). AnoLiTiIon oF THE LEGISLATIVE CoUNCIL —The property holders of this Island, at the last Council Election declared by their votes that they desired the C yuncil to be re‘ained, and iu face of the express orders of the people at the pole how dare our Lewi lative Councillors allow this part of the bill to pases in their chamber? The Hon J.G. Scrimgeour was elected from this district to retaia the Counci!, and if he goes byck on his supporters he can prepare himself t» meet the con aequences that shall be m« ted out to him on his first appearance before the electors.

(5). Arrest to THe Prorte —Then be it remembered, that Premier Peters did not secure the reins of power at the Generel Electioa, but through the bye elections held afterwards, or we might say by mere chenee, and in view of this fact it would certeinly become the present Government to ‘‘make haste slowly.”

Any Governmen: at all desirous of carrying out the wish of the msjority of the people, before making any great change, such as the “Reserved Bill” contains, would first eubmit their plans to the people at the polls for their approval. This has been invariably the rule, and should be adhered to by our governmeat. This seems toc fair a line tor the Peters administration to work on. They must enact the law first, and then compel the people by the same law to back them up.

The intention of oar form of Government is that the people shoald rule — Therefore, they have a right to be appealed to, before any great changes are brought about.

The party that are too cowardly to trust the people of this Province by the old con stituencies, too cowardly to let the mortgage vote lie buried in the past where it ought to be,too cowardly to trust their c'se to a few in dependent officials of the Federal Govern. ment, and too cowardly to appeal to the peo ple ia a equare and open manner,—are they, we ask, worthy of the confilence avd support of an intelligent and independent pe>ple? We think not. It is high time that we, the people of this Island, should rise in our might, laying aside our hitherto party preju dice. maintain our liberty and independence, and stamp out forever such outrageous at- tempte at tyrant rule, and show that we are a free people.

The point taken by our correspondent concerning the abolition of the Legislative Council is a particularly good one. Men elected to maintain the Council cannot vote to abolish it off hand without a breach of faith. More than that, men elected to a Legislature cannot materi«lly change the constitution under which they were elected without a breach of trust. Granted that it ia expedient and necessary to reduce the Legislative Council to one house, the meas- ure should be submiited to the people and accepted by them before its fixal enact-

ment.

Ottawa News. For some time past Messrs. Macdonald and McLean of King’s County, P. E. Is land, have been pressing on the Depart ment of Agriculture the advisability of aid- ng the cheese factories that mvy be started in the Province. They have pointed out the great interest in dairying thatthe New Perch factory has created all through the {sland, and have urged the uecessity w! stimulating and continuing the encour gement given by the Government. It is pleasing to learn that their efforts have not been unavailing, and the following /etter from the Hon, Minister of Agriculture hows how the matter stands at present: Orrawa, March Ist, 1893. A. C. Macdonald, Erq., M. P., House oi Commons:

Deak Six,—I have received your letter, written juint!y with Mr. Mc Lean, requesting superiotendance and mansgement ef five o sx new dairy companies now being organized n your county. 1 have referred the same t Mr. Robertson, the Dairy Commissioner, for eport, and should he find it possible to un- lertake the task, I will be happy to comply with your request. Yours truly,

(Signed ) A.’R.

Messrs. Macdonald and McLean paid visit to Almonte on Friday, 3rd inst., being the guests of Mr. Rosamond, of that place. Almonte is a thriving manufacturing town .bout thirty miles north of Ottawa, and is the site of the Rosamond Woolen Mills, one of the most complete establishments 1 Cavada, employing three hundred and fifty hands. The Island members enjoyed « pleasant trip, and had an opportunity cl seeing one of the best sections of the coun ry north of the Ottawa river.

Che opening of the Ottawa and Parry Sound Railway, which passes through Arn- prior, took place last week, ana freight trains now run tothe latter place. This road will be about 213 miles long, and is expected to open up @ splendid tract ot country. Its terminus on Georgian Bay is , convenient point for transhipping freight from the west, aud as this line will greatly reduce the distance between Chicago ana Liverpool, it is expected to have a large bus:iless.

fhe C. P. R. line also passes through this section and the treffic on it is heavy. At Aroprior the lumbermills of McLauchlit 3ros is one of the principle industries in Canada, the annual cutput being 85,000,- 000 feet, and 730 hands are employed. Mc Liuchlin’s have lately built a new mil sud expect to increase their output to 100, 000,000 feet in the near future.

ihe country around Arnprior is very fertile and grain and fruit both do well, sithough so far north grapes ripen in the

pen air and ali small fruits do well.

Among the people we met was Mr, Fergu- son, M. P. for Renfrew. In conversing on the necessities of P. E. Island and the urgent veed of better winter communication, it was pleasing to learn that the importance of the matter is becoming recognized by the membeis from Ontario. Mr. Ferguson expressed the belief that a tunnel will yet be built, as the progress made in engineering duriog the past few years warrants the belief that the cost cf sach an undertaking will be greatly reduced in the fature. It will be necessary, he said, for the central sections of Cavadato see that that the outlying parts of the Dominion are annexed to it practically as well as by statate.

Y. M. C. A. Concert.

Tue concert under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., given in the Lyceum last evening was in every Way @ great success I'he eudience was large, the hall being thronged, and the programme prepared was an excellent one. The only fault we have to find with the programme is that it wasa trifls too long—for there may be ‘too much of a good thing,” es- pecial'y when the hall is uncomfortably warm, as was the case last evening. The rich, musical voice of Mrs. J. M. Macleod, was heard to great advantage in the solo **God Shield Thee;” and Mrs. Byrne's solo ** Who's at My Window,” was sung with all that talented lady’s skill and abil- ity. Mrs. Byrne and Mrs. Macleod are always sure of a hearty reception at the hands of concert-goers. Miss Minnie Moore’s solo, ‘*‘My Happiness,” was sweetly sung. The oftener one hears this young lady sing the better pleased he is with her efforts. The recitation by Miss Gertrude Davies, ‘‘He and She,” was given with an ease and grace and attention to detail that was exceedingly pleasing; and the same remark applies to Miss Beatrice Hall's rendition of **Yes, I’m Guilty.” It 3 to be regretted, however, that seme of hose in the rear of the hall were unable to hear ul! the words of the pathetic story told m each of the selections. Mr. Fred De C. Davies sung **Anchored” in good form and voice. Mr. F. H. Beer's rendition of ‘*The Slave Ship” was excellent. I+ is some time since Mr. Beer last favored Charlottetown in this way, and we trust that it shall not be long until we hear from him again, The rich voice of Mr. Charles Hermans wasnever heard tO greater advantage than in ** The Death of Nelson.” Mr. Hermans is always a tavorite, and last night’s performance added to his popularity. The quartette by Messrs. Bruce, Cook, Lewis and McLean, was cap itally sung. The voices blended well in the chorus singing, and the excellence of each individual voice was well asserted in the single parts. ‘The “Gypsy Chorus,” from the Bohemian Girl, was weil rendered by the choir; and the male chorus, “Fatherland,” was capitally given by the members of the Y. MC. Association. Miss May Macdonald’s vivlin solo, ‘*The Polish Dance,” was played with al the skill of this popular young performer. The three numbers by Mr. Vinvicombe’s orchestra were rendered in fine style, and were greatly appreciated. The orchestra improves with each appearance, and its selections are always in good taste and well played. The waiter and ,tennis drills were very pleasing features—the latter being the most artistically rendered—and the dumb- bell drill under the direction of Mr.

the work done m the ¥. M. C. A. gymnasium. The tableaux illustrating the work of the tap-room and the Y. M. C. A., were very good. The accompanists were Miss Hill, Miss Moore, Mr. Earle, Mr. Hawley, Rev. Fred. E. J. Lloyd and Mr. S. Blanchard. Each gave the fullest satisfaction.

The Stanley to be Repaired as Seon as Possible.

Grit Against Grit.

ir, Mills Corrects Messrs. Charlton and Davies,

Orrawa, March 10,

In reply to Mr. Davies, Hon. Mr. Costigan said that the propeller blade of the Stanley had been injured by contact with ice which wes unusually heavy this season, and undergoing necessary repairs. He did not know how soon she woula be on the route agaiv, but he would enquire end give the hon. member the information he had asked for. Hon. Me. Costigan agreed with Mr. Davies that no time should be lost in repairing the Stanley.

In supply, ou the supplementary esti- mates, the Opposition speakers ouce or twice fell foul of each other. When the item, $12,500, to provide a further sum to

the erection of buildings for industrial schools under the auspices of the Methodist church at Chilliwack, British Columbia, came up for consideration, Mr. Charlton de- manded a detailed statement of the sums spent by the Government for the past ten years for schools under denominativna! con- trol, giving amounts by denominations, without which information the House could intelligently deal with the question of such grante.

Mr. Davies supported Mr, Charlton’s at tack on the principle of dencminational sid by the Government. He thought that the different denominations engaged in evangelizing the Indians were supported in doing so by liberal financial contributions of their own adherents; but it now appears that they were drawing money from the public treasury. He inquired if the Gov- ernment grants were made on a per capita basis of the number of Indians redeemed, or if not, on what other basis /

Mr. Mills put a stop to all this talk of his associates by infurming Mr. Charlton that a full statement of the information for which he had just asked had _ been brvught down two years ago. He likewise enlightened Mr. Davies ty telling how these grants originated, and pointing out the great good that had resulted there- from.

The opposition, likewise, had little “scraps” among themselves over the item of $1,022 to pay for a portrait of Lord Landsdowne by a London artist.

Mr. Divies did not object to the sum, but thought that the work skould have been given to a Canadian painter.

The item of $15,000 for the expenses of a prohibition commission afforded some of the opposition speakers an opportunity to reiterate their oft expressed opinion that the work would never amount to anything.

Dr. Sproule replied that the commission

assist 1a ladian

was collecting valuable data _bear- ing on the liquor question — in- formation that could be _ obtained in no other way, and Mr. Craig said

Mr. Sproule, Secretary of the Dominion Temperance Alliance, had informed him that he had attended meetings of the com- mission and could not, from what he had then seen, sympathise with those M. P’s., who asserted that the work was of little value.

The House adjourned at six o'clock till to-day.
