Legislative Notes
Tue Council has not yet passed the Amalgamation Bi/l. Hon. Mr. Campbell— who does not oppose most of the provisions of the bill— has moved-that the two-thirds clause be struck out, and Hon. Mr. Me- Kovzie has moved that the bill be pub- lished, to the end that the people may be enabled to express an opinion concerning it. So the matter stands for the present. There is apparently a hitch somewhere, though we have no doubt that the Peter- sonian influence will prevail in the end. Most of the honorable members are ready to admit that a measure to change the coa- stitution ought to be submitted to the peo- ple before it is finally enacted ; and no one can deny that Tar Examiner's proposition to that end is reasouable and practicable. Still the Premier has decided t+ go on without reference to the people,—and hia by the honorable
will must be obeyed
members who form tho maj prity.
The House of Assembly is laboring in supply I: is impossible to discuss the various resvlutions «es they ought to be diseussed—-without definite information which the G vernment withhvlds. The Oppesition are, however, doing as well as possible under the circumstances. We think that it will be admitted that the Government were worsted in the Budget debate, to which lengthy and vigorous
speeches were contributed by the Leader of the Opposition, by Mr, Shaw, Mr. Rogers, Mr. McKay, Mr. Underhsy, Mr. A. J. McDonaid and other members. Ja com- mittee the discussion is, necessarily, dis- cursive—the more so as definite informa- The Gov- ernment simply will not show the Lagisla- ture how they have disposed of the people's money. That they are in the wrong is this, is made abundantly ovidont by their conduct. The shortness of temper dis- played by the Leader of the Government and the Commissioner of Public Works is particularly remarkable. The hon. gentle men can’t atand the fire of criticism or the taunts which have naturally resulted from their deliberate suppression of facts which ought to be made public. Loss of temper is usually a sign of weakness and conscious

Notes and Comments.
—Some idea of the popularity of the Hack- ney horse in England may be gained fsom the fact that at the late London show there were two handred and thirty-five entries of stallions, aud one hundred and forty-eight of mares. Of these, fourteen stallions and tweuty-five mares belonged to the pony class ander I¢ hands.
—The Guardian is not as frank to adrit its turpitude as Tue ExaMinek is to ac- cept its explanation. The conduct of our religious contemporary illustrates the trath of a saying of Sir John Macdonald, recently quoted by Sir Richard Cartwright, to the effect that ‘‘ men who go in to gain a living by making other people as geod as them- selves, are apt, in course of time, to re- quire extensive moral repairs,”
— We learn that Mr. White, of O Leary, has prepared plans and specifications for a new ferry steamer. It is to be hoped that he has made provision for her use in the late fall and early spring when the passage is impeded by ice. Would not it be advisable to have the hull at once plauked with teak or greenheart and save the expense of sheathing every year! The guards also ought to be so constructed that the paddles will be kept from contact with the ice.
—We have nodoubt that the present Registrar of Deeds is a cep ible official. But it is not unlikely that if a competent per- son Were unexpectedly appointed to review his work mistakes and lapses might be
traced to his hand —some documents incom- |
of time and ability has been expended with |
the Registry Office. We do not, however, blame the Registrar. His report was, of course, prepared at the request of his sup- eriore,
The Patriot Brought te Book.
Six,—The Weekly Patriot of the 6th McLeod & Co. inst., quotes from Tedd on Pariiamentary | in these lines.
Government, as follows :— ‘
“All persons engaged in the management or collection of the public revenue, are b statutes passed in the last century expressly | disqualified from voting at Parliameatary | elections. So strictly is this enforced that)
country postmasters who may not receive | o’cl
more than £4 a year from the state are die-} franchised. and by more recent enactments | all persons connected with the police or con- stabulary force . are prohibited from exercising the electoral franchise.”
Again, quoting from the same :
“A recommendation of the Royal Com-| mission on dockyards in 1860 in favor of | disfranchising the dockyarda was not approved of by the Government at the time, &c., &c. It has been shown that the number of dock- yard voters * * who would have been disfranchised had this bill become law, was | 3,655.”
But this bill did not become law! Why! did not the Government approve of the recommendation to disfranchise this body of men / Evidently because the enlightened svirit of the age favored the broadening and extension of the franchise.
But why did the Patriot stop short and decline to give its readers the most im- portant part of Todd’s information, vz, the following :
* With thess exceptions, however, no one is forbidden to vote by reason of his holding an | office under the crowa, or ause he may be | in receipt of a fixed income from the public | revenue, Oa the contrary, the tendency of | recent departmental regulations, has been to | secure a greater degree of independence than formerly to the public servant in the exercise | of the political iranchise.”"—(Todd’s edition, 1867.)
To say that Gladstone favored disfvan- chisement, it is sufficient to give his own words in proof of the opposite :
‘*[ veutsre to say that every man who is | not incapicitated by some cousideration of personal unfitness, or of political davger, is; entitled to come within the pale of the cons: stitution.”.-From Gladstone’s speech on tha | franchise.
Disraeli said :
[have always been an advocate for in.’ dustrial suifrage.”
L»t the public judge and say if they have been properly informed by the partial quot-
t
ations given from Todd by the Patriot. D Gorvox House of Assembly, Apzil 11, 1893

P. I's. Tatumpn.—The New York papers are full of the closing exercises of the New York University closing in that city on the 5thinat. Over six thousand people crowded the Carnegie Music Hail. The honors were distrituted to the prize and degree winners of the three faculties of law, medicine and arts As our readers are aware, an Islander, Mr. P. C. Murphy, stood first smong the graduating -nedical atudents. When his name was called to receive his prize and degree, and he ad- vanced to the platform, the whole impres- sive audience rose and cheered Although a Canadian stranger, the wealth «f flowers that were showered at his feet was not equalled by that of auy other honors-men. The remarks of the Chancellor in present- ing Mr. Murphy with ‘is degree were complimentary in the highest degree. Out of a possible 500 points on finals, the num- ber made by the prize winner was 499, a rasult never bettered in the history of the institution. Professors Loomis and Thompson, physicians and authors on medical subjects, of world-wide repute, bore eloquent testimony to the splendid talent of the Canadian. The second prize winner wasa Princeton University M. A, who had made a long course and taken apring sessions at the University. The third coe man was a B. A., of Yale. Mr.
urphy is certainly worthy of the highest praise, He has done his Island home honor, answered triumphantly the foul acpersions cast upon us by the New York Herald, and we are justly proud of him,

French versus German.—For many years French manufacturers almost mun- opolized the production of biack dress goods—eapecially cashmeres and merinos. his recently made a material change in this, aud at present the manufacturers of the two countries occupy an almost equal popular- ity. Messrs. Beer Bros, whose back goods are known all over the Island for their superior quality, inform us that it is now necessary to keep both makes. The German goods have a more silky finish than the French, but the latter surpass the former for softness and evenness of make.
The predvetive capital of McGill College has increzsed fom $3%5,000 in 1881, and from $791,000 in 1887, to $1,176,000 in 1892. All this is a remarkable illustration of the success of voluntary contribution. Unfortunately the annual! income of the institution has not in creased at the same rate, owing to the decline in the iaterest¢ on investment, and an *ppeal is being made. to supplement the present income.
