SPEECH FROM THE THRONE.

>

Orrawa, Jan. 17.

This afternoon at three o'clock. His Exceliency Lord Lansdow: e Governor General, came down in state to the Senate Chamber and opened the fifth Parliament f Canada with the following Speech from the Throne: Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate: Gentlemen of the House of Commons:

In fulfillment of the important trust com-

mitted to me by Her Majesty, L have recourse for the first tume to your advice and assistance, |

It is a source of the deepest personal satis- faction to me that I should have been called by Her Majesty to an office in which, as her representative, I am enabled to take part in the affairs of the Dominion and to associate myself with you in the performance of the honorable duties which you are about to ap- proach

I rejoice to learn that although the last har- vest has been less productive than its prede- cessors,,and although there are indications that the rapid expansion of your commerce has, to some extent, been followed by over trading, the general condition of the Dominion is such as to justify me inc ongratulating you upon its prosperity.

Che marked snecess attained by Canada at the International Fishery Exhibition in Lon doy must be very gratifying to you, and has, I doubt not, been of great service in showing

to the world the wealth of our fisheries and}

submitted to you. They will, I trust, be foun: os :

found to have been framed with due re gard to ceconomy.

Honorable Gentlemea of the Senate

Crentiemen of the House of Commons:

selves with earnestness and essidnity to the consieration of the subjects I have mention- ed, aud to all matters affecting the public in- t-rosts that may be brought before you.

introducing New Members.

After the completion of the Address the new members were introduced. Out of the eight new members introduced, six are supporters of the Government. The Opposition will have to look elsewhere for | the re-action they talk about. The house | adjourned till to-morrow.

lay before you tor examination about sixty |

chapters of the proposed consolidation. ‘The remainder of the work will be prepared and the whole of it revised durmmg the present year, so that the final report will be ready at your next session for your approval.

The number of immigrants to Canada auring the past season has, I am glad to say, been greater than in any previous year, and is a proof that the better Canada is known, the more it is valued by those szeking a home in tne New World. Arrangements are in pro- gress to diminish the cost of ialand transport, and I have reason to believe that the result will be # steady increase of valuable settlers in the future.

Daring the recess negotiations were resumed with British Columbia, in regard to sev- eral matters upon which differences bad, for some time, existed between the two Governments. One of my Ministers visited that Province last summer on a special mission, with a view to the adjustment of all questions in controversy, and his efforts have happily been successful. Should your sanc- tion be given to the arrangements then made, ail occasion of dispute will have been re- moved, and most cordial relations established b-tween the Dominion and Provincial Gov- ervments

ihe papers will be laid before you and your consideration invited to measures enabling me to give effect to the arrangemert.

The rapid increase of population in the Northwest rendered some amendments in the New Territories Act expedient, and your attention will be called to this important matter.

The progress of the Indians in Manitoba and the Northwest during last year, has been ea the whole satisiactory. The bands iv- cluded im the several treaties have for the most part betaken themselves to their re setves. A bill forthe further promotion of their interests will be submitted to you, as well as a measure applicable to the whole | Domivion, for the purpose of encouraging the more advanced Indian communities to assume the responsibilities of self-government.

The bill laid before you last session for the represeatation of the people in Parliament and the assimilation of the electoral franchises existing in the several Provinces, has now been before the country for a year, the measure will be re-introduced, and I com- mend it to your attention. I weuld also urge upon you the expediency of providing for the regulation of factory labor and the protection of [the working man and his family, The measure submitted lass session, with some atmendments, will be laid before you.

The rapid progress of the Canadian Pacitic Railway has been maintained throughout the past year. Of the 2,833 miles of mainline between Pembroke and Port Moody, 1.738 miles are now constructed, rendering practi- cable the completion of that great work within the next two years, although the time within which the railway company is bound to finish the road will not expire until 1891. My yiovyernment has thought it of the greatest importance for the settlement of the North- west and the developement of our trade, that its completion from sea te sea should be hastened, and the company enabled to open the line throughout by the spring of 1886 With this view, and in order to aid the com- pany in procuring sufficient capital for the purpsse hy the disposal of jts unsold shares, the Government agreed to receive & deposit of money and securities sufficient to pay a minimum three per cent divided for ten years on sixty-five millions of the stock. That arrangement was made in the belief that it would give steadiness and increased value to the shares on the market.

A combination of unfavorable circumstances his prevented the falfiliment of these expecia- tions, and the company has not been able to

Utaiu tlre requisije capital by a sale of its

stock. The best means of preventing any delay in the great object of the early comple- tion of the railway demaads your earnest con sidaration. Iam pleased to be able to state that the operation of that portion of the rail way already opened up affords most gratifying evidence of its soundness as a commercial enterprise, and of its great value to Canada The large increase of the volume of traffic on the Intercolonial Railway over that of any previous year, without involving any burden upon the country, is a satisfactory proof of the continued development of trade between the eastern and western portions of the Do- minion A provisional arrangement made with the Goyernment of Noya Scotia, for the retention of Pictou Branch, and the acquisi- tion of the Eastern Extension Railway to the Strait of Canso, will be submitted for your approval, Gentlemen of the House of Commons.

The accounts f r the past year will be laid before you, and you wili find that the expen- diture has been considerably lessened, and bane receipts larger than the estiyaates, the exceeding that of any previous

revenues of the first current year, notwithstand-

surplus year. The half of the

it is now positively stated, as it has often been positively stated before, that the body of A. T. Stewart lies safely sealed in a burglar-proof casket under the cathedral at Garden Citys Jadge Hilton refused to negotiate with the thieves for its return, till one night he found a long ladder standing against his own house, with the top resting upon the sill of the window of the room in which his seven-year-old son was sleeping. Two or three strange men fled from the foot of the ladder on the approach of the Judge and hisy friends; but the next day came a letter saying *‘You were in time last night; next time you Will be too Tate.” Tien Jadge Hilton paid $50,000 for the return of the body of the deadmillionaire.

THe Scotch Draper anv Royatry.— During Her Majesty’s sojourn in the vicinity of Loch Vennachar some years ago, the Princess Louise had occasion to drive into Callander to match some velvet. She pro- cured it at the shop of a draper in the place, but, on rising to leave, was annoyed to find she had not her purse with her, and, begging the draper’s pardon, told him she would send him the money next day. “*Dinna fash yersel’, mem,” said the im- perturbable tradesman, ‘‘Yer mither has an account here.”

Much has been said by the English press about the enormous salary attached to the office of the Irish Chancellorship ($40,000, with a pension of $20,000 on retirement, wholly irrespective of duration of tenure.) It is $10,000 a year more than that of the English chancellor, whose duties as chan- cellor are twice as arduons, and he only receives $30.000 as chancellor, his other $20,000 being for his duties as speaker of the House of Lords.
