NEWS NOTES.

Geveral Rellieux, Military Governor of Paris, and General de Negrier, a member of the Sapreme Council of War, have been disciplined, and that eceverely, by General de Gallifet, the new French minis- terof war. In several ways the Waldeck- Rousseau cabinet is showing itself to be equal to the occasion that called it forth. Tne state wili be stronger when its work is done, avd the army will be betier, for it will be back in its proper place as the ser- vant of the state.

PRANCIS PARKMAN.

There isno greater Canadian historian, no greater American historian, than Francis Parkman. Pictures of him are very, veryscarce An excellent one, bow- ; ever, forme the frontispiece to the August | Canadian Magazioe midsummer outa- ber. In this same iseue, Dr. George Stewart, of Quebec, who was for many years a personal and literary friend of Parkman, gives some reminiscenees of the deceased historian. Stewart and Parkman first met at the inauguration of Dr. Charles D. Ellio, as President of | Harvard, in October, 1869. Parkman was tall, but stooped ; spare, but commanding; rescrved, but decidedly intellectual looking. His home was in Chestnut Street, Boston. Every Canadian should read Dr. Stewart’s appreciative story of Parkman’s life and work.

~*~ L T ~ 7 T } T CHARLOTTET MONDAY J iS be: SERRE SEO RLS ACIS A eit a FOR PROVINCIAL LORDS AND COMMONS. j etl j ‘ f i Sicsia 5 i PROHIBITION Devote Considerable Time to a/| ED te | Discussion of Transvaal Affairs. . f ay Lonpox, July 29.—In the course of a : a! : debate in the House of (‘ommons on if Flint S Resolution Will Transvaal affaire, Mr. Chamberlain said : | The grievances of the Outlanders were ad- ; a | mitted cn all hands to be serious ; but the i ip ome lip | most serious part was that the outrageous ie | treatment to which they were subjected wlhchesanesihi | was part of the settled | policy poreued by the Boers. ” THE VOTE HEADED OFF BY A | The situation was dangerous to

| imperial interests. As regards the racial fend coming out of war, race antagonism already existed and was poisoning the community. Thedanger of disaffeciion in Cape Colony and the Orange Free State was entirely due to the action of the Transvaal. li was not a question ofa five or seven year’s franchise, nut of the power of the empire and the position of Great Britain in South Africa. Mr. Chamber- lain justified the right of interveation, firstly because it was tle right of every civilized power to protect its own eubjecte; secondly, because Great Britain bad the right of intervention under the convention, the suzerain power;and thirdly, because the convention bad been brokenin letter and io spirit.

in dealing with the latest proposals, Mr, Chamberlain aaid:

“President Kruger has invited friendly advice, and the government has thought iteeif justified io appealing to him tbat a

, joiat inquiry should be held.

, “We have undertaken the cause of the | Outlanders and are bound to see it through, We rhail not rest until a conclusion eats isfactory to us bas been reached. I antici- pate that the efforts will be successful; but we will not tie our hands in regard to measures that may be necessary to fulfill anticipation

Loxpon, July 28.—In the House of Lords tcday che Harl of Camperdown called attention to the Transvaal sitnation. The Ea)! of Dunraven and others followed, all declaring that avy departure from the re- coguized policy of the government would be aw «ct of inestimable danger to the posi tion to Great Britain, pot only in South Africa, but 10 the imperial existence of Great Britain itself. The under-secretary for the colonies made a siatsment similar to that made in the House of Commons by Mr. Chamberlain.

Lord Salisbury reminded his hearers that he absolutely dissented from the pcelicy of 1881, which wes tainted with the grave fault of optimiem. Nevertheless, Presi- dent Kruger a*senied ia the protocol on the 1881 convention to friendly co-opera- tron of the races, while he has sioce :aken a. absolutely opposite line, bis one effort b-ing to reparate the Knzlish and Sou h African govornmeats and to reduce the English to the status of a subjugated race

‘The premier declared that he was not surprised that panic overtook President Kruger at the isterruption of the gold digging of 1886; but he blamed bim for not consulting tne British government so as to deal with the phenomenon. Fe agreed that the Jatest consessions were genuive. If carried ont,the government might look forward to a peaceful solution of the crisis. Her majesty’s government, he said, bave put their hands tothe plow, and ceriainly did not intend to withdraw them.

Regarding the speech of Lord George Hamilto, Secre‘ary of Siate for India, the Premier stated that the report of the com. mittee ov the India currency said the Gov~ ernment had decided to maintain the mints and direcied him to take the necessary steps to make a sovereign legal tender at the rate of 15 rupees to the sovereign.

IN PRINCIPLE AND WRONG IN APPLICATION.

A Clear Statem2nt of the Case frcm the P.E. Island Point of View.

(From Hansard.)

Hon. Mr. Prowse—It is not my inten- tion toreply toor criticise the speech of the Minister of Justice ; but I make one or tw observations in regard to what be raid before proceeding with the other remarks which I propose to make. The hon. gentle- man reterred to the pledgee which his party had given to the country. I pre- sume he refers to the convention which was lield in Ottawa in 1893. He refers to some pledges which be claims the govern-

ment have fulfilled, and one of these is the Franchise Act of last session. It appears to me that that pledge would have been better not to have been kept, because the position of the Franchise Act to~day is ten times worse than it was before. He re~ ters to the pledge in reference to the ques- tion that is no before the bouse, but the pledge was of itself so vague in its nature and its wording, that I look upon it as no pledge whatever ;and if it was « pledge, certainly they have not half carried it out, and it is attempted to be carried out very partially just previous to the time the ceneus must be taken. He bas very conveniently paseed over the pledgefof prohibition, which cost the people of tnis country over a quarter of x million dollars, if you take into consideration the loss of time of the electors on that scream- ing farce. It was fcr po other purpose

than to deceive and humbug the people of this country, and to give a little money to the political heelers of the party. It ac- complished that. I wish to know whether avy allempt whatever has been made to reduce the debt of this country. Was not that one of the great pledges given in LE93? How has that pledge been carried out? The debt of the country has been run up by millione, aud you bave to “wai uo! you see us next year” to see what it will be The promisred reduction of taxation of the country, bas that pledge been carried ont. I do votthink ithas. The hon. genilee mao might have saved himself a sneer about the province’ frora which I come. We have good reason to be proudof some men whocome from Prince Edward Island, as has been ex- hibited in this House withir the last twenty-four hours, It is true the province iea very small one, but it appears there are smaller mer in other places, It is no fault of the members from the island tha. the province is small, aod it is no guaran- tee of the genius of a man’s mind that be lives in a large house. In Prince Ed- ward Island at confederation, as we have been already told, the Island for 100 years had been divided intothree counties. As has been already stated, at confederation, these three counties were left as three ridings. I think it was a great mistake. Unfortunately, confederation was brought about by the coalition of parties which enerally is an upfortuvate circumstancg. t would have been much better if mat- ters had been completed by one political party ratber than by a combination ; but it could not at that time have been effected without a combination of both political parties in the island, The consequence was, in my Opinion, there was too much regard for selfish and family interests ratherthan for the interests of the Island; and instead of our retaining six representa-~ tives in Parliament we were cut down after the last census, On the same prin- ciple that British Columbia retains their representation, We were cut down because we did not inerease in populationat the tame rate that Quebec had increased. It would bave been safer, and I think much better, for Prince Edward Island at | cor f-deration, if tne Island had been divid ded into six ridings ; but the old aseocia- tion of county lines didnot appear to be effectual at that time, and the countie: were left as they were, and eash county was given two representatives. But when -we losta representative in the Bouse ‘of Commons, an opportunity offered by . which the redistribution of seats became ; necessary ; and I am satisfied that the beet course was taken to arrange the seats for Prinee Edward Island that could possibiy
