PROVINGIAL LEGISLATURE,
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
Wepnespay, April 30.
Mr. Bo.cer felt it his duty to compli- ment the hon. member from Freetown (Mr. Burns) for the able manner in which he spoke in seconding the Address. The Leader of the Opposition made some re- marks about the senior member from Al- berten being called upon to move the Ad- dress ; but it was no uncommon thing for a leading man of a Party to move the Address, and he, as well as the seconder, had acquitted himself creditably. He must say that his hen. colleague had also speken very well, and gave promise of being a very useful member of this House. The hon. member from Strathalbyn (Mr. McKenzie) had used very obnoxivus language in speak- ing of the Speech, and said that it caused the illness of his Honor the Lieutenant Governor. What would be far more likely to cause his Honor’s illness would be the Speech with which the late session was opened, when he saw the indignation of the people against his Government. The present Speech promised the several retrenchments and reforms required by the people. He (Mr. Bolger) was pleased to see the tables turned. He had sat for some years in the celd shades of Opposition ; and he thought the people also were rejoiced at the change. A great deal was said about the late season at which the Legislature was called to- gether ; but the present Government were not to blame for this. Last summer four gentlemen (members of the late Govern- ment) tendered their resignations; and that should have been sufficient to show the Government they had not the confidence of the peeple, and they should have resigned at once. Instead of doing that, they travelled from east to west, seeking per- sons to join them and sustain them in their positions. Those four gentlemen were called blackhearted traitors ; but they were all re- turned to the Legislature by the people. A great deal had been said about retrench- ment; but the present Government were taking up this matter at once, and were de- termined to have the strickest: economy in the several departments. With regard to the Fishery Award, the gentlemen who composed the Opposition did not seem will- ing to give the present Government any credit for sincerity in - urging our claims. They appeared to think the Executive were recreant to their duty; but if they had been as recreant as the late. Government, there would have been some reason for stigmatis-
ing them. It was said that this Island was entitled to one = and a quarter millions of that Award,— a statement with which he agreed ; and we had now representa- tives at Ottawa who would not
sit dumb, but would advocate the interests ef this country. This Island was, for some years, without a representative in the Cab- inet, but now Hon. J. OC. Pope was Minis- ter of Marine and Fisheries. Some thought we would have obtained a large share of the Fishery Award had Hon. Alexander McKenzie remained in power; but when this Island asked a far less boon, he refused it. When Mr. Laird took the position of Governor of the North-West, the McKenzie Government would not give this Island a seat in the Cabinet. Mr. Popeand all the other representatives from the Island who supported the Administration would use every exertion to get us our just rights. Messrs. Hackett, McDonald and Muttart would not sit still in their places and neg- lect the interests of the Island. There was great boasting about the minute ef Council sent up by the late Government, but it would be found that the one sent by the present Government contained stronger ar- guments, if not quite as long words. There was an abundant supply of fish around eur shores ; but often when our poor fishermen went out intheir dorys, the Americans were mean enough to take the fish from them. They cast their nets and destroyed the fish around our shores. The cost of elections was a heavy drain—he was going to say almost as bad as the small-pox—and something should be done to reduce the ex- penditure. He (Mr. Bb.) claimed to be the first member who had advocated the aboli- tion of the Legislative Council at this Board. His constituents considered thirty members a s:.ilicient number to carry on the business of the country, and they had elected hiia to carry out their wishes. He was now proud to know that there were seven members in this House prepared to carry out this reform. The hon. member from Alberton (Mr. Rogers), in the able and forcible address with which he favored this House, stated that it would be trespass- ing on the rights of the property-holders to abolish the Council until a petition was presented asking for it. The people did not consider a petition necessary, for hon. gentlemen in their election cards pledged themselves to carry this measure. He had seen no petitions asking for the Assessment Act, and yet it was carried. The present was a Government, not of words but of acts—they were going to carry out the platform laid down in their Leader's ad- dress to the electors. It would be time enough to discuss the finances of the coun- try when the public accounts were brought down. It was gratifying to know that the Government were deter- mined to improve the Civil . Ser- vice and decrease the expendi- ture in the several departments. In
March 24, 1879—h ne
reference to the road service he could not
a
ee
agree with hon. members who said the roads were in splendid condition, he thought most of the money had been spent in a few favored districts. The Act should be so amended that men would have the privi- lege of working instead of paying if. they desired. In reference te abolishing im- prisenment for debt, it was said that the Government stole the policy of their pre- decessors. By referring to the Reporter of last year, it would be seen that he (Mr. Bolger) had gone into that subject, and had stated that it was a barbarous Act which allowed a man to be put to jail after he gave up all his property, and leave his family starving at home. The Government should blot out such a law, and enact one that was more humane. Any objections to a Lien Law could be met. If a man owed a few dollars and had no property, there should be a law to attach his wages when he went to work, and that would be better than putting him to jail. The mem- bers of the Opposition did not say much about the paragraph which stated that the Assessinent Act had proved unsatisfactory, so they must have considered that state- ment correct. This was one of the Acts which caused the defeat of the late Govern- ment. The hon. member from Strathalbyn associated this Act with the School Act, he said the one was interwoven with the other and if one was interfered with the whole would fall down. The education question was what brought the late Government into power, they had a strong party, and they proscribed nearly one half of the people of this colony. They rejoiced that they were not now proscribed, but stood on an equal footing with the rest of their fellow colonists, and had a fair share of the emolument of office. Protestants complain- ed about the School Act as well as Catholics, a great many clauses in it required to be amended to make it perfect. Hon. mem- bers of the Opposition waxed eloquent over the evils of confederation, but they were fighting their own shadows. They support- ed the party that built the branch railways after bringing the country more and more into debt, went off in the middle of the night te get terms of Confederation. They were quite willing at that time to go into Confedaration on terms of $30,000 a year more than those afterwards obtained by the Conservatives. Hon. Mr. Cartwright hast summer complimented the delegates for the able bargain they had made at that time.
The debate was adjourned, and the Honse adjourned till 11 o’clock to-morrow.

Concerning the Suez Canal.
The U, S. Consul General at Cairo sup- plies the following interesting facts gleaned from authentic sources. The total cost of the work was 472,921,799 francs ($92,273,- 907). The stock of the company consists of 490,000 shares of 500 francs (par) each. These shares have suld as low as 109 francs and at the epening of the canal they had advanced to only 300 francs. They are now quoted at 717 francs, and are atte cing. The English government’s purchase of 176,602 shares in 1875 was e at 568 francs per share, and is now yielding a clear profit of 25,000,000 franes yearly. The revenues of the canal have increased from five million francs in 1870, to more than thirty millions in 1877; while the ex- penses have been slightly over seventeen millions, and are decreasing or stationery. Except the work ef keeping the channel and its accessories well cleared (which in- volves an annual cost of two million francs) there is but little to be done in maintam- ing the canal; the actual working expenses (exclusive of interest and sinking fund) do not exceed five million francs yearly. Ves- sels drawing 25 feet (or less) of water pass through the canal, and two-thirds of them carry the British flag. These facts will enable our readers to draw an intelligent conclusion of the commercial and political advantages which the British Government has gained by its great purchase.

It appears after all, says an exchange, that there was some ground for the story that it was contemplated to raise a body of American volunteers to serve on the British side in case England had gone to war with Russia. A General Duffield, who had served in the American civil war undertook to engineer the movement. Having had com- munication with a large number of old com- rades he felt sure of success. The plan was to organize a brigade—horse, foot and art- illery—on Canadian ground, and so ayoid a breach of the United States neutrality laws. The suggestion of such a movement was, itis said, made to the General by Colonel Gzowski, of Toronto. We fancy the movement would have come to grief had the threatened war taken place.
