Ye IT ast Caucus of ye Quasi Gov- ernment.

(¢ ‘oncluded. )

Monracvu —I agree with the Hen. mem- ber from Rocky Point, and since I have had the pleasure of meeting that hon. gentle- man at the Council Board, I believe that his knowledge of figures and the ledger is worth all the philosophy and the classical knowledge of the hon. member from Strathalbyn put together. How about our chances for election ata dissolution of this House? [ am toleralby confident of my own, but I would not like to say with any | degree of certainty about other members. — Soutuporr-—“The First Commoner of ‘the land.” i. e., my honorable self, feels

! i i } ' i | '

'

| pretty sure of his election, although the | cood times of open voting are gone,and I had the ‘*poor Irish” down in black and white. The Premier minds the time well when I was an Executive Cuuncillor, and I am told [aman Hanorable now to the end of my life. Don’t let the hon. member from Rocky Point plume himself he is the only member who knew anything about figures and the ledger. I flatter myself that ---”

Port Hitt—Pray don’t, like a good fel- low. Flattery and conceit is the family failing evidently. I think, Mr. Premier, my chance for election is as good as any, although I do not brag onit. But I am very much afraid our philosophical and classical friend and ally from Strathalbyn over there, will be a good deal like Othello the Moor of Venice when the election is over.

STRATHALBYN—How so! I am no blacker than anyofyou. We areall blacked with the same cork. I do not know what the hon. member means by tring to blacken my character. I would like to know how I am like the ‘‘Moor of Venice,” or any other black-a-‘moor. The hon. member is pretty caustic lately.

Port Hi1.—TI am sorry the hon. gentle- man does not understand my joke. He is not as classically read asI thought. I merely likened him to Othello, because his occupation would be gone ;” that was all.

Sovrurort. —I quite agree with Sirath- albyn. No fellow likes to be called names. Port Hill thinks himself very witty no doubt. I, for one, do not understand much wit. [never did, nor will, nor want to. All I know is Lam a good speaker; for I always decide the question, if | have any doubts about it at all—which I very often have—by ruling on our own side, and I always will, that’s more. What do you think of my new, tall hat? Did not I look like a gentleman—‘*‘ the first commoner of the land ’— when I bowed and shook hands with the newly-elected members? His Ex- cellency never raised his hat with more na- tural grace than I did.

Tryon—I hope you do not think your- self the only gentleman of the party. I hope we are all gentleman, and conduct ourselves as such. ‘* The proof of the pud- ding is in the eating.” Ido not think there is any chance for my election, candidly speaking, unless I join the Opposition.

SummMeERsipE—1! am inclined to think the Hon. member for Tryon is pretty nearly correct in his view. But I am at a loss to conceive how this House and the country at large can dispense with his brilliant ser- vices., his skillat debate, and his large financial ability and experience.

Premier—Gentlemen, have done with chafting. The ‘‘look out” is dismal, very dismal. I have no chance myself in town. I will have to fall back on Murray Harbor, and run against my old antagonist, Mr. If you had aman amongst you able to cope with that fellow William Wilfred Sullivan I would lay back fora couple of years. Itis a good dodge to re- gain popularity.

Sournport—Try me. I[ would make no slouch of aleader, I tell you. Emergency makes the man. I ean tackle Sullivan. No man has read the rules of the House oftener than me, and it is to be hoped I ought to know then by this time.

Premier. —(sarcastically)-I have no doubt you have ability enough for any- thing, Mr. Speaker, and if you had been in England might have been Prime Minister there, but we want your talents in the chair as ‘‘first commoner of the land,” a truly proud position for any one to rise to. Allow ze, sir, to congratu- late you on your fine presenee*and appear- ance there.

Brverorp—! think I may say, with my uncle, my ch nces are tolerably fair also. But can’t we do something for Strathalbyn, pension him off, elect him for Bulgaria, transport, superanntiate, etc. We must get rid-of him at any price ; he has killed the Government, that’s clear. The philosophy chair is vacant now in one of our best Mari- time colleges ; can’t you recommend or ap- point him, Mr. Premier. Is there no chance of achair in the P. W. College. There used to be a professor of moral philosophy there, [ am informed. We want men of business in this House here, not | “disciples of Mill’s.” ‘he hon. gentleman ‘made his choice; he left business for philosophy and classical reading, and must abide by it. | Premrer—Then, gentlemen, I do not see ‘any good in prolonging this caucus. We will meet again to-night to consider the question of going to the polls. Think well on it, and let me know your decision. Exeunt omnes. | P.§.—I£ anything of interest transpires in the next caucus I will inform you of it, | Mr. Editor.

PROVINGIAL LEGISLATURE,

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.

Debate on Want of Confidence Motion Continued.

~~

Manca 4,

Mr. Camppet:. said he was glad that the Agricultural. intevests were better repre- sented in the House than they had been hitherto. He had been opposed to Con- federation ; but, in that particular, he was ‘‘sold,” not by his enemies, but by his friends. Both parties had been to blame in the past; andthe soonerthe past is buried out of sight the better. He had ever since Confederation advocated retrenchment, for he felt that. retrenchment was necessary. He had hitherto failed in his efforts. The people had net, for some years, felt the sting of taxation; and the Government went on spending as though our resources were illimitable. He was opposed to De- nominational schools. But when an ap- peal was made to the country in 1876—be- sides advocating for undenominational schools—he also advocated retrenchment, and pointed out that it was necessary. He believed in the principle of the School Act; but its machinery was too expensive for the Province. Even in town, he believed, there there is more show than work. A _ sorry exhibition was made in the late Normal School examina- tion. He believed the School Act wanted amendment in its details. He also believed the refcrms promised to-day might just as well have been introduced in 1876. There never has been any sincerity in the Government ; and he felt compelled from the first to take an independent position in this House. He contended thet the city and the towns should be taxed as wel] as the country—the taxation of the country only is class legislation of the very worst kind. ‘The Assessment Act has been cor« demned by the country from one end to the other. The abolition of the Legislative Council was proposed by the Government; but the hon. Commissioner of Public Werks, who introduced the proposition, spoke against it. And the hon. Leader of the Government said. respecting it :—

‘*They might pass a Bill, but it would not become law. He had heard so much ignor? ance with regard to this subject that it made him despair of having a fair honest vote given on it,”’

Again, the hon. member from Summer- side said :—

**The people would require to be consulted with regard to abolishing the Legislative Coun. cil, and for that purpose we might have a ger. eral election after this session was over. He was ‘sure the present Government did not wish to hold on to the reins of power if the country was not satisfied with their measures. The hon. member from New London was try« ing to deceive the people,’’ etc., etc.

These were the kind of arguments he was met with when he advocated measures of retrenchment and reform. His representa tions were met by insult. Then, again, the tenders for the Lunatic Asylum were not, as stated, sanctioned by the House. He had stated in 1877 :—

‘* By making a careful examination, he (Mr,

least, $295,000. The Government proposed to use the surplus capital, after putting the Ae- sessment Hill into operation, in building a new Asylum. course. Wehad arrived at a period in the history of this Province of heavy depression in trade and finances. Times were now very hard, and the people were called upon by the Government to pay an instalment of twenty per cent. upon their farms.” No tenders were ever accepted by the House. But the Asylum is being built. lts state last year, when he visited it, was wretched. He introduced the matter to the attention of the House. A Committe was appointed, and here is what they say :

*“*A very large proportion of the stone, however, is small and of such quality as to be unfit for use.” .

Again :—

‘There is great unanimity of testimony stronzly condemning the mortar. Good mor-

tion ofa solid wall, that the want of it in this work would alone seem todemand a thorongh

overhauling, if not an entire rebuilding, of the -

”

foundation walls.

Again :—

ed’ is of an inferior character. There has been ellers, and the requirements of level beds and square joints has been too frequently disre- garded, The want of bonding throughout, so often refer to in the evidence, is one of the most fatal objections we have to note; the re- sult being, as one witness says :—‘‘In one cor- ner a settlement appeared to have taken place; there was no indication of separation.”

Now, it is said that the building is one of the best on the Island; and it is said that his (Mr. C’s) statements were ‘* gross exag- gerations.”

One of the witnesses was Mr. Rourke, a practical stone mason; and hear what he says :—-

‘*To Mr. Campell: I do not consider th -work first-class. There are small stone used
