PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE,

' es

| HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY,

a eee ee

Mr. Speaker in the chair.

Mr. Underlay, in moving that the House {go into Committee on the draft address, ‘said that he wished to make a few observa- tions. Relerring to the first paragraph in the speech of His Honor the Lieutenant Govertor, he said : glthough it may be said that the province hag nut been very pros- perous during the past year, yet he thought we have good reasofi to be very thankful. Any one who carrieg his recollection back for a nutber of’ fears must come to the conclusion that very substantial progress has been made. Contrast the position cf this province fifty or sixty years ago with what it is at thapresent time, and every one must allow that our people are prosper- ous and enjoy advantages that a former generation were deprived of. He could ro- member the time when there was scarce.y a road in his owa district ; when people hal to go to St. Peters Bay to get their letters which only came once a week. Now every section has at least.a tri-weekly mail, and in imany settlements the mail is received daily. Referring to the statement that

out that a mortgage was not always injuri- ous. Many men have more land than they can work with profit with the amount of capital at their command, and he kuew of instances where a small loan had been bene- ficial. The value of farm property in many districts had increased 500 per cent., which is one of the best evidences of the substan- tial and increased prosperity of the pro- vince. Referring to the exhibitions, he heard some complaintsthat parties entitled to prizes had not received them. He understood that when the matter was brought to the notice of the Government they * were promptly paid. Complaints are also heard of the decisions of the Judges at exhibitions. Others who are far trom the railway con- tend that they receive no benefit from these institutions—that the exhibitions are not located in the most central and suitable place. Although Georgetown, when the King’s County Exhibition is held, is not near the centre of the County, it is admitted that suitable buildings are notavailable any other place. He thought Cardigan or St. Peter's Bay would be more convenient for the people from the eastern and northern section of the County. He thought the Government should make an arrangement whereby the surplus well-bred animals rais- ed by persons who have been obtaining the benefit of the Stock Farm should be pur- chased and sent to the outlaying districts for the beneiit of the farmers who had not ready access tothe Farm. This could be (done ata seal] expense, and would be of great benefit to those districts where en- }couragement was most needed. He said it was a matter of regret that additional outlay is necessary for the Hospital for the Insane. His impression was in former yess, and is yet, that an addition to the ‘old Asylum could have been built for one- jtenth the cost of the present building that j would have afforded accommodation for jInany years tocome. It will, however, be ithe duty of the Legislature to provide shelter for those unfortunate members of

jthe community. Referring to the icondition of the wharves, he thought

the Local Government should keep the | wharves that not have been taken over by the [Dominion Govérnment in repair, while at {the same time urging the Dominion Goy- ernment for a settlement of the amounts lexpended on them. He believed it better to abandon all claim for amounts expended on the wharves than to have the people suffering for want of wharf accommodation. He also referred to the rates charged on the Island Railway, which he said were too high. 4

Mr. McLeod (Brown’s Creek), in moving the Address, referred to the wet, cold

Local and Other Items.

PREVALENT.—-Our exch that whooping cough is prevalent at Richibucto.

Did you notice that fine head of hair at

hurch last Sunday? ‘That was Mrs. B—— other place. He was not prepared to say | a . much about the exhibitions as he under- oa mee? If to be out of Hall's

stood there was epposition from the other counties to the Government's policy. The fact that the Hospital for the Insane is now found to be too small is the best an- swer to those who contended that that building wasofa more expensive nature than required. He advised the Govern- ment to employ morecommissionersforcon- solidating the laws, so that the work would completed at an earlier date. Drawing the $200,000 from Ottawa was one of the worst things the Government ever did, as it meant a loss of $100,000 in ten years.

Hon. Mr. Sullivan, after congratulating the mover and seconder of the address on their excellent speeches, complimented the ; hon. member for West River on the com-| Lucxy Broraers,—It is reported in Vic- parative moderation of his speech, remark-|toria B.

as payment in full for our claim against: Brooklyn, N. Y. the Dominion Government on account of t piers was not correct, as had been shown time and again. On the Ist July, 1873, all the piers passed into the hands of the Dominion Government, and we have had no right since that day to charge one single cem of wharfage, nor construct a single pier. The Dominion Government, and they alone, have control of the piers, and it was clearly their duty to keep them in repairs, as they did in every other Pro- vince of Canada. If the wharves are necessary for the accommodation of the people, it was certainiy the duty of the General Government to look after them. It is the duty of our representatives in the Dominion Parliament to attend to the requirements of the Province, to see that our public works, etc., are properly maintained. After some further remarks the debate was adjourned.

Sip News.—We regret to learn that Mr. John McLean, M. P. P., received a tel on Saturday informing him that his tather is very ill and not expecred to recover.

Meeting at Morell.

Pursuant to notice, a meeting of the in- habtants of Morell and adjoining settle- ments was held at Morell Station on Tues- day, 12th inst., to consider what steps to take to have a wharf constructed at the mouth of St Peter’s harbor. Wm. Hooper was appointed chairman and the under- signed secretary.

The chairman opened the meeting by explaining its object. He said he would give his hearty support to the building of a wharf at the harbor, as it would develop a large trade in this populous farming com- munity.

R. N. Cox followed in the same line.

James H. Dingwell showed the disad- vantages of a wharf not being on the lower side of the middle ground (that isj the har- bor). He held that if such were the case Dingwell’s wharf would become ai great boon to the people along the Bay, as a ves- sel could take in part of her cargo there aud complete loading at the harbor.

H. D. McEwen said that by the author- ity of the British North America Act, all Provincial public works, wharves, piers, river improvements, &c., belong to the Dominion of Canada, because the land on which they are or may be built is the pro- perty of Canada. We have a right, there- fore, to look to the Dominion Government for wharf buiiding or repairing. He also showed that King’s County in particular is anything but treated properly—coming in almost every time for the lamb’s share ef

St. Parrick’s Day at Sourts.—The mem- bers of the Benevolent Irish Society of Souris marched in procession to St Mary’s Church at 10 a, m., where High Mass was celebrated by Rev. Dr. Walker, of Rollo Bay parish. The Rev. gentleman afterwards delivered a highly interesting and instructive address on the life and labors of St. Patrick, Ireiand’s Patron Saint. He saidthat many countries claimed the honor of being his birthplace, but it matters little whether he was of French, Scotch or Irish birth, All that was necessary to know was that he was one of the most re- markable men that ever lived, as well as one of the greatest Saints that ever trod this

this trade would extend itself to the —_— populous farming district around St. Peter’s| Rey. J. A. Gordon, who, some time

season last year, and said that although it was thought at one time that many farmers! would suffer heavy loss, he was thankful to| say that no very serious injury was sus-; tained. Farmers who take proper care of, their grain, even in a wet season like last | year, do not suffer much loss. He con- sidered farmers are makiag substantial pro- | gress. He thought a good deal of the dis-, satisfaction with respect to our exhibitions was caused by the manner in which the peo- ple acted atthem. Beer shanties are allowed | outside the grounds, where drinks of every kind are sold, and a great deal of the dis-| orderly conduct is caused thereby. He, thought that the people would not attend | these exhibitions if better order was not: kept. He never had the privilege of visit-' ing the Hospital for the Insane, but knew’ there had been a great outlay on that build- ing, and was surprised that more accom-| modation is now required. As, however, | it appears that the accommodation for patients in the Insane Asylum has been:

expenditure for that purpose. sary work, and he had no doubt that the

work completed, as it tended to lighten their labors.

Mr. Farquharson, in the absence of Mr. Yeo, followed. He was sorry he did not hear the first remarks of the mover of the address. Judging by the latter part of the mover’s speech, the Government would not be very well pleased with the remarks of that hon. member. He supposed the pros- perity referre? to in the speech was caused

The Opposition would not try to hinder the business of the House, and judging by the speech, no doubt they would have a short session. He did not believe in the prosper- ity cry which was an old story. He be- lieved many of thé farmers are getting poorer, although some may be getting richer. The Government should have done something on the Trade Question. They

Several other speakers followed, after] of Leinster Sake Baptist Churts eyed which the following resolution was pat to|the position of superintendent of the Union the meeting and unanimously carried : Baptist Seminary, has, as before stated, accepted a very hearty and unanimous call! to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church of Charlottetown, P. E. I., his native pro- vince. Mr. Gordon expects to leave the eity for his new field of labor to-day. Mr. Gordon’s pastorate in this city was char- acterized with more than ordinary success, as the growth in membership, congregation, as well as in financial strength, clearly show. On Sunday evening, in the presence of one of the largest audiences ever seen in the church, Mr. Gordon baptized his two sons in the fellowship of the church, Rey. Mr. Botterell, also baptizing seven others. Mr. Gordon’s departure will be much re- gretted, During his ministrations here, he endeared himself to his congregation, and outside of his own church, as well as upon the public platform, he was ever ready to assist in the advocacy of any good cause. Besides, Mr. Gordon was a good citizen, and by his free and cordial manner he made friends of all with whom he came in con- tact. If in his new field of labor he meets with the same success that he met with here, the congregation of the Frat Baptist Church in Charlottetown will soon inerease as well in numbers as in financiol strength, —St. Joha Telegraph.
