The Third House.

Six,— Since the introduction of Parlia- mentary instituticns among the Anglo- Saxon people for the representation of the mass of the people in their government, ove of the greatest obstacles to the passage of laws for improving the condition of the masses and the advancement of general intelligence has been the influence of vested

‘interests, and the power which the | possession of riches could give in shaping }and controlling legislation.

| During the agitation in England, which | resulted in the passing of a law which de- 'elwred that wherever the flag of England }should float the fettersof the slave should / be unbound, and that henceforth the slave should be free, the society of slaveholders were enabled by their wealth and influence to retard the passage of that humane law for a long time.

In the United States of America one of the greatest dangers to representative in- stitutions is the influence of wealthy cor- porations in controlling legislation in their own interests through the influence of their great wealth; and one of the greatest diffi- culties which the people of this Dominion will have to face, if they wish to mantain government of the people by the people and the enactment of laws for the general good, will be the influence of large railway corporations.

In this small province it appears the con- troling influence is the thrid house. By reference to a letter in Tue Examiner of April 4th, signed a Junior Barrister, it will be observed that the statement of Layman was correct in so far as that the measure pro- posed: for enactment by the Legislature are submitted to the Bar Society for approval or disapproval, and what they approved of was passed by the House of Assembly, and the only measure objected to by them was killed.

Now, I do not object to the Bar Society expressing their opinions on any measure, and if they think any act will not be for their interest or for the interest of the general public, they are quite right in saying so; but many will object to the Honse of Assembly or their representatives who are elected by, and responsible to, the electors of the country, atrogating their functions to a’society who hold their dis- cussions in secret, and are responsible to nobody, as this gives one class an undue infinence in proportion to their numbers.

In England certain vested rights are re- presented in the House of Lords, as, | understand, the Bishops of the Established Church hold seats in that House, and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge elect members to represent those seats of learning in Parliament; but this is the first Province or country that has come under my knowledge, in which the members of any society or corporaticn are allowed to dictate to the representatives of the people what petitions of their constituents shall be acted upon.

One would almost imagine that the society do not discuss the subjects on their merits 80 much as to enquire who are in favor of the proposed measure. If this is so it might induce any one having an object to advocate to do as the Irishman, who, having apig to drive, only succeeded in getting him to the desired destination by pretending to drive him in the opposite direction.

Yours, etc., JUSTICE. April 5, 1884.

Hunter River Notes.

Prof. Fletcher delivered his lecture, ‘“‘Ameriean Humor,” in the Hall here a few weeks ago. Owing to the inclement weather, the audience was small. To de- liver a lecture on this subject successfully, the speaker must assume the characteristic of his author, presented in his quotations; and this blendedgwith flashes from his own veins of wit, rendered the lecture very ap- preciative. We wish the Professor success in the West, where he has gone with his family, and hope he will ere long return hale and hearty.

The Division of the Sons of Temperance organized here a few months ago, already ranks high among the other divisions of the order. It has at present over seventy members enrolled. Much credit is due the retiring officers for the efficient manner in which they conducted the affairs of the Division during their terms of office, especi- ally Rev. J. A. Dafoe whose zeal for the cause has won for him the esteem of all hay- ing il at heart.

The officers elect for the ensuing quarter are :—

W. P.—S. Brown.

W. A.—Miss C. Bagnall.

R. S.—M. Martin.

A. R. 8.—Miss J. Silliphant

F. 8.—J. Waye, (re-elected. )

On the evening of Ist April, Sergeant Allan, from Charlottetown, at the request of several of th ‘eading men of this place, delivered alec.ure on ‘*War and Military Matters,” to a crowded house. On this occasion, also, the weather proved unfavor- able, otherwise we could not have accommo- dated the vast number seeking admission. No. 5 Company of 82nd Batt., commanded | by Capt. T. S. McLeod, were drawn up in full uniform, on the right of the speaker, who, himself, wore the garb of battle. Rev. J. A. Dafoe, being called to the chair, introduced the Jecturer in a very becoming manner. The lecturer briefly referred to the unimpared state of mind and body he has enjoyed, never being an hour sick \in his life, and distinctly remembering

| ditierent engagements in which he was in- terested during his thirteen years of actural service in the British army. It is singular that he has emerged from all its tervors without even a scar: undoubtedly, this is owing to his superior discipline. In reeog: nition of service both in the Crimea and India, he was presented with the row of medals he wore on the occasion. He paid a very pleasing compliment to the Hiyh- landers. The object of the speaker was not to nerrate the history of those wars, but to give an impulse to military training, to in- spire the young man with its importance, personal, and general. It is unnecessary to say that he kept the audience spell-bound during his lecture, only at such intervals as is was necessary to give vent to their feel- ings. After a vote of thanks was tendered the lecturer, all resorted to another flat of the building where refreshments were pro- vided. Here an hour was pleasantly spent in singing, by the choir, military move- ments by the company,in charge of Ist Lieutenant David Bertram, and bag-pipe music by Donaid McDonald who finally escorted the sergeant to his lodgings, fol- lowed by a large concourse of people.

The Gloucester Fishing Fleet. There are tetween 1,200 and 1,500 Nova Scotians fishing out of Gloucester. ‘‘Why don’t you fish out of Nova Scotia instead of from Gloucester!’ asked a Halifax Hevald reporter of a Nova Scotia captain fishing out of that port. ‘There are a great many reasons,” was the reply. ‘But the whole thing in a nutshell is this: Gloucester pro- vides better equipped vessels, better pro- visions, you get your money as soon as you earn it, and there is every satisfaction in working for Americans, because the Gloucester. men thoroughly understand their business, understand their men and krow how to treat them. Here, instead of getting their pay when the season is over, men frequently have to wait until the next spring—until after the fish have been sold and returns made from the West Indies. They can’t afford to do that. In Gloucester men are given a fair chance to make money. The merchant does'nt try to grab all and let the man who toils come ont at the small end. They know good wen when they get them and appreciate their work. That is not always the case in Nova Scotia; and capable men are a})t to go where they are most appreciat- ed, Although Nova Scotia has ten times the cupabilities and advantages—the fish, the men, the vessels, and the experience, it lacka the enterprise and the pluck, and, wanting these, it can never hope to rival Glonazester.” ne open nie—a

A:mong the passengers on the Grand Tru::k express from the West on Sunday, was 1 man who seemed to be of the opinion that this life was not worth living. He jumped from the train twice while it was in motion, and was finally taken charge of by Detective Flynn, who brought him to No, 3 Police Station. There he gave his name as Adam McDonald, but his home is still unknown, and it is not altogether certain that his name is as he gave it. When Con- stable Archibald approached him to search his pockets, before locking him up, Me- Donald drew a revolver, but it was seized by Detective Flynn just as it was presented at Sergt. Stephens. The madman, for such he appears to be, resisted violently, and it was only after a struggle that the weapon was taken from him. He appeared at the Police Court, but his mental con- dition was such that he was remanded for examination. He seems to be suffering from the excessive use whiskey.—Toronto Globe.

A party of twelve telegraph line men on a hand-car on the West Shore road recently met with a bad accident. The hand-car was going at a high rate of speed on a steep down grade, when one of the men stepped on the brake, suddenly checking the speed of the car. One man was thrown off ten feet ahead of the car, which passed over him, crushing him fatally. Another man had a leg broken in three places,necessitat- ing amputation, A third is internally in- jured, and will probably die. Eight others were severely hurt, but not fatally. Only one escaped injury. A special engine and coach conveyed the men home, and they were placed in the hospital.-Toronto caper,

“Bub, did you ever stop to think,” said a grocer recently, as he measured one balfa peck of potatoes, ‘‘that those potatoes con-

tain sugar, water, and starch?” ‘Naw, I didn’t,” replied the boy, ‘‘but [ heard mether say that you put

peas and beans in your coffee, and about 4 pint of water in every quart of milk you sold.’ The subject of natural philosophy was dropped right there.

Children frequently put puzzling ques- tions at home tothe parents on various subjects, as is evinced by the one which a smart boy, who had been reading the news- paper, put to his father. ‘Pa, has the world got a tail!” ‘‘No, my boy; it is quite round,”’ replied the parent. ‘‘Well,” per- sisted young hopeful, “why do the papers say, ‘So wags the world,’ if it hasn’t got a tail?”
