power to send for persons and papers. He spoke at some length in support of his motion and incidentally touched on the benefits of the National Policy to the |

Island This remark aroused Mr. Davies’ ire, anc he denied that the effect of the effect of the National Policy had been beneticial, and ropresented thefarmers as almost starving, trade decreasing on every hand, and people leaving the Dominion by th usands, while shipping was almost extinct Mr. Hackett made a vigoro support of the National Poltey, and clain ing that Prince Edward Island was never} more prosperous than during the past year. The deposits in the Savings Bank were} nearly four hundred thousand dollars greater than in the previous year. Was that an indication of ruin or distress! He took it as indicative of the progress and prosperity of the country. Mr. Davies had | tried to make it appear thet the shipping was being swept away, but the returns show | that the tonnage of the past year was three | thousand greater under Grit rule. | The farmers are now getting better prices | for their produce. i Mr. Davies—Did the National Policy effect that change ! |

i

Mr. Hackett—Yes, by bringing prosper- |

ity to the mines of Nova Scotia and starting up new industries, and reviving old ones in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, an‘ thus creating a home market for Island

shipping products across the sea to a foreign country. (Cheers.)

Mr. Jenkins followed, and growing per- sonal was called to order by the Speaker.

Sir Charles Tupper saw no reason why a committee should not be appointed, as 1t was most advisable to get all the informa- sion possible on the subject. Hitherto it has been found impossible to maintain a regular communication between the Island and the mainland. The Government had proposed building railways between the I. C. R. and Cape Tormentine on the mainland

A STORMY DEBA

In the House of Commons, on the 22nd, | the debate on Mr. Gorst's amendment | revarding lawless agitators was resumed. |

Mr. Forster defended his own course pre- | ious to his resignation of the Chief Secre- iyship for Ireland. The Prevention of | rimes Act, he said, was not accepted | efore the release of the suspects, but he had advised it as urgent. But for the Phoenix Park murders, Lreland would have believed Parnell supreme, and would, there- fore, have become ungovernable. Recent disclosures had increased the suspicion that | the Land League was connected with the outrages. Hecharged Parnell with head an organization which had started an agitation that premoted outrages and in- cited to murder. Parnell, he said, had reaped advantages from the agitation. Ue did not plan the outrages, but connived at

v ti C b

their commission

O'Kelly sheuted ‘Its a lie,” several times. He was named for suspension and his suspension was ordered by a vote of 305 to 20.

Mr. Forster resumed and reiterated his

| charges against Parnell, quoting from that

gentleman's speech in which he said that murder was unnecessary. He said the wretches who committed the Phoenix Park assassination had not acted on the letter, but according to the spirit of these speeches. Parnell expressed great repentance. He The feel- ing is now rising evev in Ireland against agitation. Parnell and his friends have been unveiled and unmasked.

There were loud cries for Parnell but he did not move.

O'Donnell, on attempting to interpose during the speech, was ruled out of order.

The Marquis of Hartington expressed

|surprise at Parnell’s silence, which he said

was an admission that a prima facie case had been established against the Irish leaders.

|The Government, he declared, had no intention of introducing any measure for i

extensive changes of the policy with regard to Ireland that would be likely to arouse strong party feeling and absorb a large portion of the time of the House. Despite repeated challenges of the Government, he said the Opposition had formulated no direct specific charges against them. He asked the House whetier seeing there was

and Cape Traverse and P. E. |. railway, |

and the sum provided lest year in the estimates for the latter works, but nothing was done with reference to the former rail- way, as it was uudertaken by a private com- pany subsidized by the Prevince of New Brunswick. But Government work on the Island branch would be begin in the spring

a general agreement with regard to the | policy of the Government, it would endorse | Gorst’s amendment, which if carried would have the effect of removing the Ministry from office. Sir Staifurd Northcote, Liberal- Conservative, said the Opposition would meet the Government's chailege. He would state in what manner to-morrow.

and be vigorously pushed ahead.

Motion passed.

(From the St. John Telegraph's Report )

Mr. Jenkins said either his colleague (Davies) had misunderstood him or had misrepresented him. He was capable of misrepresenting him.

The Speaker called the hon. gentleman to order.

Mr. Jenkins—-My honorable colleague (Davies) is afflicted with a moral cbliquity.

The Speaker—‘‘Order. The hon. gentle- man must withdraw those observations. I am determined that personalities shall not be permitted iu debate.”

Mr. Jenkins then withdrew the objection- able remarks.

Sir Charles Tupper declared himself in favor of appointing the committee. From the time Prince Edward Isiand was brought into the Uuion efforts hai been made by both governments to carry out the terms of confederation as far as possible. In spite of all the ‘‘Northern Light’ could do, it was found that during _ several weeks in winter, communication could not be carried on in that way. Last session an appropriation had been voted to connect the Intercolonial Railway with Cape Tormentine on the one hand, and the Prince Edward Island Railway on the other, and the government intended to proceed with the work in the spring. No contract was to be entered into with the present contractors as the governiment had decided to have the services extended. Prince Edward Island might rest assured that the Gevernment would adopt the best means posssible in relation to this matter. The railway would be vigorously pushed forward, and in the meantime the *‘ Northern Light” would keep up communication between Pictou and Georgetown.

The motion was carried.

—— _—_——-— — ——$——

In accordance with a scheme prepared by the Lords of the English Admiralty a few months ago for utilizing in time of war or other emergeacies the merchant ships which may be available for armed cruisers, sup plies of guns suitable for their armament are now being despatched from Woolwich arsenal to Bombay, Hong Kong, Capetown and Sydney, at which ports tney will remain in store until required for their in- tended purpose. The guns are designedly of uniform pattern and simple description, being the type known asthe Palliser con- verted 64-pounder muzzle-loading rifled gun, having keen originally the old- fashioned cast iron smooth bore 22-pounder strengthened by boring out and inserting a tough wrought iron tube, These guns are the weapons with which tne sailors of the royal naval reserve are most familiar. The admiralty surveyors have inspected and taken measurements of many large steamers ot various sizes, and the alter- ations which will in each case be requisite for the mounting of gans and con- struction of magazines are already planned. It is not contemplated, however, to employ any of the merchantmen as fighting ships, for they are mostly built of thin iron plates, incapable of much resistance; but it is thought that they may de useful in filling the places of the men-of-war and crusiers employed on foreign stations should the necessities of the nation require the presence of the latter elsewhere. In such cases all suitable vessels which may be at hand can be requisitioned by the representatives of the government, the guns, eic., put on board, and the officers and s»ilors trans- formed on liberal conditions of service into valuable auxiliaries of the royal navy . The cotton factory at Moncton is ready for the machinery, and the machinery is at hand ready for the factory. Looms are of three sizes, and number 244. There are 11,000 spindles. The cost of the factory whnn fitted out will be dbout $200,000. —~

| Mr. Parnell moved an adjournment of ithe debate, which was agreed to. On re- | suming the debate on the 23rd, Mr. Parnell said the utmost he desired to do was to make his position clear to the Irish people at home and abroad. Mr. Forster, he said ought to be ashamed for traducing him. He declined to reply toMr. Forster’s ques- tions, and charged that gentleman with having disclosed secrets of his (Parnell’s) associations. If Forster believed that the articles published in the Irish World were likely to incite crime, why had be not stopped the circulation of that paper? He compared the responsibility of Forster, who had read the article and believed what the result would be, to that of himself, who had never read them, though they were now bronght against him.

Forster had unfairly singled out the name of Sheridan as mentioned in the ‘‘Kilmain- ham treaty” negotiations. Why did he suppress the names of Davitt, Egan and Boyton, who were also mentioned as likely to prevent outrages in Ireland.

Mr. Forster exclaimed—‘‘They were not mentioned to me.”

Parnellcontinued. He said he had been challenged to defend himself from the charges. He occupied a better position in the eyes of the Irish than Forster did in England. Forster was also guilty of suppressio veri, because the heading in the United Ireland, ‘‘ Incidents of the Cam- paign,” over a column recording outrages, ceased the moment O’Brien, editor of that paper, was liberated from prison. ‘orste1’s unfairness was shocking. Parnell also analyzed the evidence of Carey at the hear- ing of Irish prisoners in Dublin, which he said was not a statement of fact but belief or hearsay. It had already been disproved as regards Mrs. Byrne. Evidence in refer- ence to the source of murder fund, he said, rested upon the fact that some men while in prison had received checks from the sus- tenation fund of the land league. Such aid had been giveu thousands of prisoners. Forster's animus was due to the fact that he had attempted to obtain a promise from him (Parnell) but had failed tu do so, and had lost his office. In concluding, Parnell declared that the present officials in Lreland were manifestly unfit to administer the crimes act. Forster ought to return to his congenial work. Parnell said he was hopeful that Ireland would weather this as she had weathered other formidable oppres- sions. He spoke over half an hour.

Mr. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Tre- land, in reply to Parnell, proceeded to indicate the policy of the Government. There had been commissioners appointed to suppress crime. The number of murders have been reduced from three, monthly, to one in the last four-and-half months. The only policy for Ireland was to say exactly what the Government meant tu do, and then do it. He regretted that Parnell had not made his position clearer. Mr. Gorst’s amendment to the address in repiy to the Speech from the throne was distasteful to Earl Spencer, Lord Lieutenant of Lreland, and to himself, and would if carried lead to their resignations, as well as to the resigna- tion of the Cabinet. He thought that nothing would be more fatal to Ireland than to hand the responsibility of government to local bodies. Mr. Trevelyan said if the Government were convinced that the life of any official or private person had been pointed at by inciting language of the press they would act again. The amendment was rejected.

DISCUSSED BY

At the Educational Institute; on Friday

7 i |evening last, Prof. Mellish read a highly |

instructive paper on ‘‘ The necessity of | Thoroughness in School Work.” The Pro- | fesser occupied over half an hour, siating at the outeet that his treatment of the sub ject was designed to be suggestive rather | 1 As acountry grows older, | the different pursuits become separated.

** Jack of all trades.” | The sub-divisions of labor, both mental! and | manual, are always on the increase in a progressive community or nation, Too} many persons engaged in the various call- | ings followed in our country at large, do| not understand their work. Failures in | business frequently arise from want of | proper business training. It was said a few | years ago that there was a larger per cent- | ‘ age of failures in business in Canada than in the United States. Shipwrecks, railroad accidents, explosions in mines, tires, etc., | are largely the result of carelessness and defective training. Skilled laber is con- stantly in demand. ‘The capabilities and resources of the country are in advance of our ability to turn them to the best ac- count. The conditions under which the highest products of industry and skill are attainable, were pointed out. The initiat- ory step in reform must be taken in insist- ing on greater thoroughness of work in our schools—primary, advanced and collegiate. The youth who, during his school years, is trained in habits of punctuality and exact- ness, has emplanted in him no unimportant elements of success. In our schools and colleges, more is frequently attempted than can be well done. Accuracy and ex- actness in school work is all important. It is agreat mistake to press forward pupils to | rapidly. Longfellow’s line, ‘* Learn to | labor and to wait,” contains much pailo- | sophie advice. The Principal of a large | grade school should have time at his dispos- | al to inspect the different departments | daily. The teacher should be earnest. | His callingis a noble one. Good natural | ability, a good education, and a full com- | prehension of the nobleness of the work, |

all combined, although investing the teach- ers with tremendous power, will not of | themselves enkindle enthusiasm in the | breasts of the pupils. As the living em- | bodiment or exponent of the subjects he | teaches and the precepts he enforces, he | should clothe their presentation and exhibi- | tion to his pupils with a constantly concen- | trated force and an ever living tire.

The above is only a very imperfect out- line. Dr. Leeming, Mr. Bowers, Mr. Montgomery, Miss Lawson, Miss Barr, Mr. J. J. Chappell and Mr. D. McKenz‘e made some very good remarks on the paper read, at the close of which a vote of thanks was given Prof. Melilish for his very valuable paper.

At a meeting vf the Committee of Management of the Charlottetown Educa- ticnal Institute, the following resolution was passed, and also, that the editors of the Patriot, Examryer, and Presbyterian, be respectfully requested to insert the same in their respective papers,—

Whereas, an editorial appeared in the Presbyterian newspaper, of the' 22nd inst, which very much misrepresented the proceed- ings of this Institute, and reflected in most objectionable language, on the part taken by our lady members ;

Therefore Resolved. That this Institute place on record its indigvation at the injustice of the article referred to.

Tuomas LEEMING, Chairman of Committee.

Irish Notes.

Mrs. Carey has been completely ‘“boy- cotted” since she turned informer. Not one tenant has paid rent, and notices have been chalked on the doersteps of her Den- seille street property warning persons not to pay rent to a ‘‘cursed informer.”

Condert Bros, solicitors of Paris, have telegraphed the following on behalf of General Meadaras, supposed to be a person known as ‘‘No. 1” mentioned at the hear- ing of the Irish conspirators at Dublin :— ‘* Publish an emphatic denial of the in- famous accusation made against me regard- ing the Irish conspiracy. I have to-day invited an inquiry into the matter at the hands of the British embassy and taken steps to ascertain the source of the cruel libel against me.”

The London News understands Parnell has consented to re-consider his purpose of moving an amendment to the address in reply to the speech from the Throne, ar- ranging the Executive of Ireland for the! administration of the Crimes Act.

P. J. Sheridan, accused by informer Carey of being an accomplice to the Phcenix Park murders, is in New York and was interviewed on the2nd. He is on the staff of the Irish Werld where he has been ever since he came to this country. Sheridan says he never met Carey in his life; his reference to an interview in the Angel Hotel, Dublin, and the promise to forward arms are sheer fabrications. Sheridan ad- mits that he travelled through Ireland dis- guised as a priest, but denies complicity in the assassinations.
