INDEPENDENCE OF THE GENERAL

A bill for securing the independence of

the General Assemb!y,was read the second

time and on moving that it be referred to mmmittee —

Hon. Mr. Strong said the bill was de- signed to remove temptation out of the way. so that members of the Legis! mieht discherge their duties with inde- pendence and impartiality. It had to do with two phases on the subject. Dual representation, W hich implied that a man should be in two plaees at one and the

me time, would be abolished. When certain members of the Legislature ac- conted seats t= the Seuuee oF the Domi- niin there was no law to prevent them, but it was not their intention to offer for seats in the Legislature again, Then certain officials—heads of departments— would be eligible to seats in the Legisla- ture. but others would not. It was a difficult matter to arrive what would be considered sufficient temptation to induce a man to swerve from the path of recti- tude-—whether it should be fixed at 40s. or £40; or whether it should be fees or

lary. Itw to his mind that, if a man received 0 in the shape of

iS €i r

3 fees, he was in 4 his independence interfered with as if he received a yearly salary ef $1000; but if ll those who received fees occasionally excluded from the Legislature, it might prevent many from representing the people who were otherwise well quali- fied. He observed that Mr. Anglin, Speaker, of the Dominion House of Com- mons, had last year received $10,000 in connection with printing, and Mr° Jones, snd another member received $8,000. Mr. Anglin had no job printing establishs ment and farmed out the work to others- Ifthe work was put up to tender, and they obtained it, there could be no objec- tien; but it was given to them because they were supporters of the Government it was a good illustration of the principle that a man’s independence would be as much effected by fees as by a fixed salary. It was difficuit to meet the case without going too far upon the one hand, or on the other not far enough. The bill was not #0 stringent as those introduced in 1874 and 1875, as it applied to a fixed salary only. The House of Assembly had dis- agreed to a similar bill passed by this liouse, but not from any want of cour- tesy. The Government thought they should have precedence in the matter, and the Assembly looked upon the bill as creating offices with salaries, which was beyond the power of this House. There was some misappreheusion on the part of the committee of good correspondence with regard to the introduction of the two bills, otherwise they would not have been both proceeded with.

Hon. Mr. Laird said, the principle of the bill had been discussed so frequently that it was unnecessary to go into it at any length. With regard to the disallows ance, by the House of Assembly, of the bill passed here, he would say very little, but he believed he could make it clear that there was no infringement in that bill of the privileges of the House of As sembly, for there were no new offices created by the bill, They were not here, however, to bandy words about technical- ities. There could not be any difference of opinion with respect to abolishing dual representation. It was impossible for a person toact in a double capacity, and there might also be times when ihe inters ests of the Local and Dominion Govern- ments would conflict. He did not wish to throw out any insinuation that a gent- leman acting in a double capacity had done anything against the interests of the Provinces, but it was much better to have the two positions distinct. With regard to members of the Legislature holding office, no man was infallible, and personal interest was very liable to warp a man’s judgement. He would go as far as to ex- elude those from the Legislature who were in the employment of the Govern-

eople were the best judges as to whether | “ man was worthy to be entrusted with a | public office.

| was a difference of opinion as to whether ja member of the Legislature should be | allowed to do any work for the Govern-

tion in that respect. For instance, 1 | member of the Legislature had a ship 'in Liverpool, and were to carry some | goods for the Government, his doing so would not effect his seat, but he could not enter into contract with the Government, to carry coal, fer instance; neither would he be permitted to become security for another person. are yeti tion of the prosent law.

Hoa. Mr. Munn understood his honor to say that a member of the Legislature might compete for any public work which was let by public competition, and it would not be considered a contract, but according to the clause he (Mr. Munn) thought it would

were bestowed directly upon him, was the idea he intended to convey.

either directly or indirectly, to carry any If, tor inst ance, the Government wanted a quantity of coal carried, and he had a vessel in the market, would he be debarred from mak ing a contract with them for that purpose ?

Hon. the President considered the clause under consideration very ambiguous. Ifa member of the Legislature had a ship in a foreign port, and there was freight there to be forwarded to the Government, and if the agent of the shipowner should contract with the agent of the Govern. ment to carry that freight, would the member thereby forfeit his seat. If such was the interptation of the clause it was very stringent indeed.

Hon. Mr. McEwea was of opinion that an occasional job of work for the Govern- ment should not effect a man’s seat in the Legislature. It was very different from having a fixed salary.

Hon. the President did not see why the Solicitor Goneral should be required to have a seat in the Executive Council, In fact he thought the appointment might be dispensed with.

Hon. Mr. McEwen suggested an am- endment providing that any member of the Legislature convicted of a violation of the revenue laws, or the liquor license law, should be disqualified for a term of two years. On presenting the suggestion Mr. McEwen said he considered that the members of the Legislature, should be an example to the people, and it would be no credit to either the Council or House Assembly to allow any member to retain his seat who has been convicted ef a viola- tion of those laws. It was time for the members of the legislature to set their) faces against the sale of alcoholic liquors. | They should make the business such that a certain amount of stigma would attach | to the man who would engage in it, and if it were so,men might be prevented from | aspiring to seats in the Legislature, while engaged in a business which would lower them in public estimation. If this House would take initiative ia this matter he be- lieved the country would appreciate their efforts.

Hon. Mr. Walker remarked that the liquor question was one that was very difficult to deal with. Many attempts had been made to regulate it by legislative enactment, but to a certain extent they had been a failure. Moral suasion was the best remedy for the evils of the traffic. Hon. Mr. Laird eonsidered the pro- posed amendment worthy of consideration. It spoke of breaches of the law of a more serious nature than what was referred to in the clause betore them. A man might lose his property qualifications by fire or storm. A man of the first standing might be compelled to have recourse to the

A petition of John A. McLe London, praying for remune the loss of a schooner at New 1e buoys not being in position, was presented by Hon. Mr. | McEwen, and was read.

Hon. the President said that as the | petition was praying for a money grant, It should have been sent to the Nxecutive Council.

House of Assembly thought proper to take excep- tion to it, and it was struck off. Lie then applied to the court and obtained a verdict not for a $1000, which he had expressed his willingness to take, but for between $2,000 and $3,000, A legal question then came up as to whether the Government could Le sued, and other points, and there the matter had rested. He believed, however, that his claim was just, and he raade made these explana- tions so that if their honors should here- after find a sum ia the public accounts, they would know what it meant.

Hon. Mr. Laird asked whether he was to understand that his honor ap-< proved of the prayer of the petition, and

whether the Government intended to rant it. Hon. Mr. Strong replied that the

Government acknowledged the justice of the claim, two years ago, and he could not see that the petitioner was less en- titled to remuneration now. He was merely giving his own opinion,

Hon. Mr. McEwen said it was a case of peculiar hardship. The petitioner had lost his vessel and cargo of coal on account of the buoys not being out, and the Govern- ment should give him fair remuneration. Privateindividuals should not suffer on ac- count of the negligence of an officer of the Government.

Hon. Mr. Dodd introduced a bill to ratify and contirm the exchange of certain pasture lots in the Royalty of Charlottetown, between the late Hon. George Coles and late Martin | Dogherty. Said bill was read the first time. |

| He points out that while there were but

eight millions expended by the capital acs count, during the first four years of Cons federation, there were thirty-four millions expended during the next four years; and besides this there were the large sums ex- pended by railway companies and munci. palities in Ontario and Quebec-—but main- ly in Ontario—in the last five or six years. All this capital expenditure created busi- ness for which the merchants had to pro- vide. We are now in an entirely changed condition of things, Except the public works in the ,hands of the Government there are very few in course of construction. There is not the same demand for goods, and therefore the importations must fall off, contraction, painful in its operation, but necessary to the restoration of full health, The view presented by Sir Francis Hincks isene which commends itself to every~ body’s common sense; and the country has good reason to regret that at so critical a period it is deprived of the valuable service of the man who, when others hopelessly failed, settled the ‘silver nuisance,’ and

placed the banking of the Dominion on a

basis satisfactory alike to the banks and the public,

Though the financial and commercial surroundings are not all that could be de- sired, still,as our leading bankers assure us, the light is breaking in. The agricultural interests is in a tolerably hearty conditian ; and so long as that is the case there need be no fear but the future will right itselt, Asa Government may do much to prox duce stringency, so, we believe, it may do much to relieve it. The present Govern. ment haye done the one, but have proved unequal to doing the other. Our trust must be in time and another good harvest.

| Until the harvest is garnered we must all

endeavour to meet the changed circum» stances of the times—practise economy,and be content with the safest possible sales, even though limited in extent, and with There is much comfort in the reflection that the clouds are rising; that at bottom the country is sound’; and that the day of better things cannot be very far distant.

thought it was better to confine it to year- ly salaries. At the same he believed the principle was sound, that any man in the service of the Government should be dis- qualified. He did not see that there was any good reason to disqualify a man who might take a contract, such as a job of printing by public competitiom, He would support the bill with pleasure, and if they would succeed in agreeing upon this measure, they might congratulate themselve after so many attempts to pass a bill for the purificatioa of Parliament. Hon. Mr’ Richards asked whether a shipowner who might carry freight for the Government would be disqualified from holding a seat in the Legislature. Hion. Mr. McGill remarked that this measure was an old acquaintence of this Hiouse. He considered it unfortunate that the House of Asssembly did not ezree to the bill sent down from this House, as considerable expense would have been saved to the country. It had been said that members of the Legislature were not infallible, and the saying was applicable to every man. If his honor from Port Hill should forfeit his seat on account of his agent in Englaad charter- ing a vessel to carry freight for the Gov- ernment it would be going to extremes, but at the same time he believed that no member of the Legislature should be allowed to enter into a contract with the Government. He hoped the bill would have the effect anticipated, and he felt assured that the country would approve of having the “ grand army of officials ”’ excluded from the Legislature. Adjourned.

Tuesday, April 11.

A petition of the trustees of the late Hon. G. Coles, and devisee of the late Martin Dogherty respecting the exchange of certain pasture lots in the Reyalty of Charlottetown, was presented by Hon. Mr. Dodd, and laid on the table.

LUNATICS.

Hon. Mr. McGill asked whether the (overnment would supply the same quan- tity of food to the lunatics confined in the Asylum.

Hon. Mr, Strong replied that the Gov- ernment had the matter under consider, ation.

INDEPENDENCE OF PARLIAMENT.

A bill further securing the independ- ence of the General Assemble was referred to awommittee of the whole House—Hon. Mr. Reid in the chair

Hon. the President observed that the bill would not come into operation till after the next general election. He ap- proved of the provisions that no person holding an appointment under the Goy- ernment should hold a seat in the Legis- Jature except heads of departments. Heads of departments were required in the House

in order to give information upon the different branches of the public service ; but upon accepting office they had to re- turn to their constituencies for re-elec- tion. He would support the clause.

any fault could be found with the sug- gestion to amend the clause. He would support it.

Hou. Mr. Strong also approved of the suggestion. Jf aman who through mis- fortune had lost his property qualifica- tion, broken on of the fundamental laws of the country should not be allowed to hold a seat in the Legislature. Healso approved of moral tone of the remarks made by his honor who submitted the suggestion, and he regretted that he had not gone further when he was speaking of the members of the Legislaiure being an example to the people, and said something about the use of tobacco. That, however, he supposed would be the next step after they would get clear of the liquor traffic. The suggestion was agreed to.

With regard to a clause relating to Gov- ernment contracts, Hon. Mr. Strong said he had some conversation with the law officers, and they were of opinion that a member who was a shipowner, might earry goods for the Governmont in the

cided differently. It was difficult to draw a line, for a charter was u contract. The clause was copied from the law in force.

Progress was reported, and the House adjourned till four o’clock,

AFTERNOON SESSION.

BONDS—PUBLIC OFFICERE. lion. Mr, Strong laid before the House a return showiog the number of officggs of the Government who had given bends amounts of securities, names of sureties, dates of bonds, Xe. CONVICTIONS,

Hon. Mr. Strong also laid before the House a list of convictions, returned by Justices ef the Peace for selling spirit~ uous liquors without license.

INSOLVENT DEBTOR ACT.

A bill to amend the Insolvent Debtor Act was again referred to committee— Hon. Mr. Reid in the ehair.

Hon. Mr., McDonald observed that under the former Act the commssioners were to reside within twelve miles of the jail, but there was no provision as to where the judges were to reside. The unfortunate debtors should not be placed in a worse position than they were before. The plaintiff was to have fourteen days notice and it might be fourteen days more before the judge for King’s County would arrive in Georgetown.

Hou. Mr. Strong said the Government had no authority to any where the judges should reside. The Prince County Judge did reside in that county, and he under- erood that Judge Reddin was preparing | to remove to Georgetown but wherever their places of residence were, they would have to perform the duties of their office.

Hon. Mr. Laird said that if a Judge were to neglect the duties of his office, there would soon be complaints to the Minister of Justice. Although he (Mr. Laird’s) sympathies were with the defend- ant, there were two sides to the question, and the fourteen days’ notice was neces=

usual way, but if a case were to come. before the courts it might possibly be de-

congested blood-vessels, softening the pulee, producing gentle perspiratson and subduing the heat and fever. Unlike other catharties, they do not,after operation,have a secondary tenden- cy to render the bowels more costive . This is an important improvement, as all who have ever taken many pills or other eathartics for

tonic effect upon the bowels as to bring about a permanent, healthy action. Hence their great value taken in small daily doses for a length of time, in habitual constipation and in Jiles, at- tended and produced, as they generally are, by torpor of the liver and costiveness. Sold by druggists.

Late English papers give some interesting statistics with regard to the progress of edu- cation during last years in England and Wales, Accurding to a Parliamentary re- turn from which this information is obtained it appears that £1,356,000 were given last year for grants for educational purposes. Of this sum more than £300,000 went to Church of England schools, of which there are nearly 10,000 in England and the Prin- cipality. The number of British and Wes, leyan schools is 2,000, of Board schools 1,000 and of Roman Catholic schools, 600. The Church of England is teaching nearly a million and three quarters of children, the British schools and other similar ones less than half a million, the schoo] Board 350,~ 000, the Roman Catholics 160,000. The Church provides for 2,000,000, the British system for 560,000, the Boards for 380,000, and the Roman Catholics for 190,000. The Estabjished Church is, therefore, teaching more than three to one of any other system and much more than haif of the whole.

Flow ApvyernrisisG Arrzcis Busisess.— The man who aivertises his business, if what he offers for sale is honesily what he represents it to be, or what it ought to he, is constantly assisted in his business by those who have been attracted to him and tested him. A buyer has read his advertise- ment, and gone to his store, or workshop, or warehouse, whatever it may be, and tried what was recommended. If he has satisfied him, he is pleased and recommends it to his neighbour, who is likely to go to the same place and tell hisneighbors in turn. And thus little rolls startled by this advertise~ ment flow in upon him from all sides, and the current of his business grows stronger and wider and more rapid, and he prospers and grows rich, and because to strict atten- tion in business he added judicious advertis~ ing. But for thishe might have lingered on in the community for years and his business Would scarcely have been heard of.

Tre Roya Titte.—A Bedfordshire gentle man who wished to secure the patronage of the Queen for a local Sazar, conceived that his object might be gained by addressing Her Majesty as ‘ the Emnress Victoria.’ Sir Thomas Bedford is ‘ desired’ to inform him that, firstly, the title of ‘ Empress Victoria’ ‘is not applicable to the Queen,’ and, second- ly, that ‘the Queen is unable to subs, scribe to purely local objects.’ The Tele.
