It will thus be seen tha, the people ef the Island most re-

luctantl; abandoned what was to thema valuable and it would be great in- justice t> withheld from them a portien of this uiorney that has fuand its way into the coffars of Canada in ex nseq uence of their giving up 80 a right. It is a well- known tact that this Award would not be so large had not the Island been included in the provisions of ‘the Treaty. It is ad mitted sy every practical man that the in- shore mackerel fisheries around the coasts of Prince Edward Island are tho mont yaluable of our Gulf fisheries. Mr. Foster, the able American counsel, stated before the iisiifax Commission when about clos- ing the American case, that the principal advantiyes received by them, according to the ev:denece submitied, was in fishing inside the three-mile litt around the coast of Prince Edward Island. want to discuss now is the point relating to the possession of those waters.

fore Confederation? On this qnestion j do not think there can be two o; pinions. It is 2 well established fact the imperial i Gov- ernment recognized the right of the cel- onies to the waters around their coasts.

We see this in the case of Newfoundland, which Oslony has been paid a large amount ef this Award. We also knew that previous to Go: federation the Island Government issued fishery licenses to foreign vessels comin into Island waters to fish, and that the monies arising from the sale of these went into the Island Treasury, clearly that these Waters were possessions. The next point is, on entering into Confeder- ation, surrender to General Govern- ment any claims that she had to a purtion of this ome 1 Leontend that she did not, not one word, eeithen or implied, can be pr oduced having reference to it. The terms of Confederation are silent with re- gard to it, and there is nothing to show that the fsland yielded, in any way, to the Dorm inion of Canada; rights which she held by treaty before she becamea part of the Dom- iaion It must be apparent, then, to,every tair-riinded man, that the Island’s claim stands as good to-day as it would be if she sad remained out of Confederation. The fact of her entering Confederation previous to the award being made, should not srejndice her claim. Had the Com. misicn sat, and the Award been made, as it should have been, befers she entered ‘the Union, her claim would have been paid withouta word. 1 cannot see how the mere accident of her since becoming a member of this Confederation can operate against her interests in connection with this natter. The payment of this money to P TE. Island at the present tinie would be a grat relief toher people. Forsome years past the revenue of the Island from all sour2es haa fallen much below the expendi- ture, and the Government has beer com- pel ‘d to regort to direct taxation to meet the sequirements ef the Province ; and as the am believe they have an equitable |

fonce long P. -E. ISLAND AND THE CIVIL SERVICE,

Dr. Muttart, on rising to make a motion

for a return of ali those peers in the In- side Civil Service, said:

DR. MUSTART # SPEECH.

“My object in making this motion is that when the Civil Service Bill comes up for dissnasion, E may be in possession of

auch information as will enable mé¢, &8 a re-

presentatire of Edward Island, to discuss whether cert: un complaints reapect-

ing the Inside Civil Service are correct or not. JL am of opinion that the idfam 1 Pro- vines is not represented in this Service as she ought to be. As the istand now forms nothing but

g part ef the Dominion, it is

Pri irice

fair that she should be represented in the {Inside Civil Service, accord ing to her population. If we put down the population

of Canada at four millions, and the popu-

lation of Prince Edward [Island at 120,600, then the population of the {sland is abont one thirty-third part of the

Dominion. There are, I believe, over 600 positions in the several departments in Ot- tawa. The one thirty-third part of 600 would be about 18, and this number would represent the share to which the [sland is entitled in a fair distribution of the offices in the Inside Ci

ivil Services. An- other object which I have ia view in asking for these returns is this. Itis stated that acreat many of our best offices, with the largest salaries, are filled 7 those who are net Canadians, It is also stated that im some of the Departments mere than haif the officials are imported from abroad. lf this be true, it ts surely time for us, as Canadians, to know the fact, and to take some measures that will prevent this ine justice to our own pennies We do not ex; pect the Govern: rent to dismiss worthy and

efficient officials of the present staff, but we hope in the future, in the working of the new Civil Service Bill that the foreign ele- ment will be dispensed with. While we are trying to protect our native industries, it is nothing but fair that we should en- deayor to protact our native talent. It is hoped that in the new Civil Service Bill, the motto ‘‘ Canada for the Canadians ” will be duly considered.

1SECRETARYSS REPORT OF THE QUEEN'S COUNTY EXHIBISION OF AGRICULTURE AND

LOCAL INDUSTRY FOR THE YEAR 1879.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen :—-i beg to submit to your board a few remarks relative to the management of the Queen’s County Agricultural and Indnstrial Exiibition fer the year 1879.

Ata meeting of the Board of Commis- sioners held at the New Court House, Charlottetown on the 18th day of July last, it was agreed upon io hold the Cattle Show and Exhibition on the 7th and 8th of Oc- tober. Committees were then appointed to prepare a prize list, to cail for tenders for printing, te selec suitable groonds for the cattle shew, and tosecure the drill shed for the Exhibition,—after which severa! questions of importance in connection with the agriculiural interests of the Province reccived due consideration. At a further meeting held en the 29th day of July. The Lionorable Senator Haythorne,as Chairman | of the Committee appointed to prepare a prize list, presented a report setting forth that the Committee had dealt as li iberally | with competitors in the different depart- ments as the limited and inadequate means ‘at their disposal wonld permit. His honor ‘ then submitted the prize list as agreed upon by the Committee, which, after seme ‘small alterations was adopted hy the Board.

John Lengworth, asa snitable place. Their re- port was adupted. The Secretary, on be- half of the committee to secure the Drill Shed reported .that the Hon.~ Col. Gray, . A. G., had kindly placed that building at the disposal of the Board.

Alex. MacNab, Esq., the obliging Super- intendent of the P. E. island Railroad, readily co ape rated with the Board in afford. ing every cunvenience to the travelling pub- lic for the conveyance at reduced. rates, ust only of passengers, but of stock and all articles to and from the Exhibition. Ata siilbsequeut meeting held Sept. 16th, judges were appointed of cattle, horses, sheep,

igs, poultry, grain, butter and cheese; horti tulture, foriculture, fruit, farm imple- wents, textile fabrics, &c., all of whom were notified by the Secretary of their ap- peintments to the different departments al- lotted them. At subsequent committee meetings every necessary arrangement to secure the success of tha Exhibi- tion was rendered as complete as possible consistent with the limited means at the disposal of the Board. ‘he Cattle Show, held- Oct ith, was most successful, The Longworth fiield so admirably adapted for the purpose, was nang A arranged for the reception of live stock of.every deseription: To} D reveut ali interference Ww ith the judges

on the whole, was prononnced by com- st nt Jus iges to be far superior to any of preceeding years. This marked inprove-

ment—hii ghiy creditable to the exhibitors--- is attribut ed to the result of purchases from the Farm as well as to the fact «that =. our stock raisers are evineing a deeper interest in. breeding from thorough bred imported stock.

Owing to heavy “showers of rdiu in thé forenoon, some very superior horses and cattle were removed from the field earlier than was desirable thereby depriving the large gathering in the afternoon from wit- nessing the whole show. The erection of suitable sheds on the ground would be a great acquisition to the Cattle Show.

At the hour of 9 o’cleck next merning, Wednesday, October 8th, the Judges, as notified, arrived at the Drill Shed and com- menced inspection with closed doors. which occupied all their time up to the hour ef opening. Succe esful exhibits were ticketed imme: diately after the Judges awarded the prizes. The formal ul opening « of the Exhibition tookplace at 12 o'clock, neon, The stirring notes of the band of the 8Znd Battalion an- seunced the arrival of His Honor the ientent Governor, who was heartily cheer- ei as he entered the building, Jndge Selly; Chairman of the Beard of Com- uissioners, after a few appropriate re- marks, presented a congratulatory address to his Honor, in which the Board remark- ed, ameng other things, that they believed those exhibitions ¢ sees 28 be held a: mually,

thereby stimulating lmprevement and main-

1

taining public interest better than if held at more distant periods. That, in their opinion, the paramount importance and

magnitude « rf theagricultural interests of the Provi ince called fox. increased annual appre- priations of public money for their enconr-

asement. That the facilities for attending these annual exhibitions by means of raii- yays aud steamers had greatly increased of

| late years, which the large increase of ex-

hibits, as well as the larga number in at- tendance, fully testified.

His Honor Governor Haviland, in reply, delivered’ an excellent address which, with that of the Board, was published at the time. Inthe course of his very able ad- dress, his Honor expressed his regret that his native Province was not represented at the Dominion Exhibition, held at Ottawa, where we could have competed favorably with the larger Provinces in many of the agricultural and industrial departments at that great Exhibition. He complimented the Board of Commissioners for the judi-

cious prize list prepared by them with the:

snail amount of money at their disposal. He hoped that when the Legislature would next meet they would vote a larger sum than wsual for those exhibitions, which had new boone 1¢ ost liuportant institutions of At the close of his speech,

his Hende Y received the hearty cheers of the large concourse of people assembled. — Chief Justice Palmer followed with a very inter- esting address, pointing out the great im- por tunce of Kear ancchl, in the cultivation of the soil and in the various branches of local industry represented at those exhibitions. The Exhibition Building presented a very pleasing appearance. The show of poultry --of which there were 45 entries--was the best ever seen in the Province, as was also that The ex- hibits of cloths, flannels and blankets, frem
