# ork of the i ee at: as it affects P. E. Island.

Orrawa, May 10,

Much has. been ‘accomplished by Parlia- Many Bills of importance have passed the House upou which muchlabor has been bestowea by the .introducers «and the eommittee on private Bills. «Among those: engaging the attention of Parliament was the Insolvency Bill, imtroduced: by Mr. Colby, the Cliair- man of the sub-committee appointed to dvaft it. There were seven members on the Committee, and their labors were neither hastily or. imperfectly performed. Mr. Oolbyy assisted by Mr. Brecken and others, devoted much time during this ses- sion to the stidy of a Bill that weuld over- come the defects: complained of in the Act of 1875, giving preper protection to the creditor while at the same time preventing any fraudulent attempts to favor any one of them. This Bill: met with a fate it did not deserve. Apaitt from the great labor be- stowed upon it, the Bill had many merits, and was considered, by legal gentlemen, far superior to the old Act. ‘The members of the House of Commons, doubtless, were too radical in their views upen the question of insolvency; and had it not been for the action of the Senate in defeating the Bill of total repeal, much inconvenience would have been‘experienced by the commercial public. One defect pointed out in both the present Act and the Bill introduced by Mr. Colby, is the exclusion of farmers from taking any benefit..of the Act of In- solvency. “But Mr. Colby’s Bill provides that farmers whe are creditors should re- ceive their dividend with others, and then hold over the balance of their claims till paid. Or,.in other words,.no discharge could be obtained.from farmers until their claims were paid.in full. .The Patriot con- tained a report ef a speech delivered by Mr. J. C. Pope, on the night when he read in Parliament the telegram announcing the Conservative victory in the Local House on the Island. That report isa

MisSREPRESENTATION

of what Mr. Pope said—as, in fact, is everything that appears in the Patriot re- lating to, that gentleman’s actions or speeches. It is little use for the Patrict.to waste its time or energy in the- direction of mistepresentation-of-Mr: Pope. No mem- ber of the Government, has been more at- tentive to his duties during ‘the present session than the Minister of Marine and Fisheries. His seat is rarely vacant ; and,

upon every question and subject relating to his Department, he shows a thorough -and complete knowledge ofits details.. Mr. ‘Pope’s acquaintance with the details‘of his oftice is in. striking contrast to. the ignor-} ance displayed by Sir Albert Smith while head of the same department. Most of the Reformers and others attribute Sir Albert’s failure, as a Cabinet Minister, to his want of application. He appears to have held office, not merely for the office itself or the pay attached to it, but simply for the pur- poss of being in a. position to benefit his humerous friends and to accomplish a little wire pulling. So wrapt up -in_ his peculiar method of political manipulations and their success was he, that his own office was lib- erally offered in an attempt to attach strong Conservatiee politicians to his Party. The purchase of the

‘* GLENDON ”’

was an. unfortunate affair both for the country and the ex-Minister of Marine and Fisheries. His confession of the mistake made in her purchase, and his statement that he wonld never do the like again, will rot atone for the negligence—or whatever cause it was—which led to the purchase of such an old tubas the Glendon has proved to be.

What was written concerning the beat may have been, to a great extent, meré speculation; but there were sufficient grounds for coubt- ring her efficiency fer the service, required her. ‘That “communication can be kept up between the Island and the Mainland,

during the early part of the winter and the commiehcement of Spring, has been fully demonstrated by the trips made in the early part of last winter by the ‘‘ Northern Light,” defective as. she is. The’ survey made.in the 'vicinityof ~~ .

land, cannot be overlooked by the Govern- ment. By the way

MR. YEO

made himself famous in Parliament by his surprising curiosity respecting the inten-

tions of the Government in the building of the branches to Capes Tormentine and Traverse. He seemed to have had a mania for asking questions in Parliament. In his petty eflorts he was ‘‘ coached” by the editor of the Patriot. In fact it is said he was kept in training by that gentleman for his ‘‘ bursts’ of inquisitiveness on the floor ef the House. Seldom extending his speeches to any great length, doubtless from the want of information upon the subjects forming the basis of his remarks, it was an astonishing thing to-many members of the House that his speeches occupied so much space in Hansard. If Mr. Yeo utter- ed forty words on the floor of the House, Hansard generally contained one hundred,

and so terribly disguised that even Mr.

Yeo must haye felt at a loss to know what he had said, The only solution to the little problem of transposition is that Mr. Lawson must have clothed, and packed and rounded out the naked utterances of the Grit member for Prince County. If this surmise be correct, and we have reason for thinking it is, the Editor of the Patriot must tind it congenial work to quote the speeches of Mr. Yeo from Huansard—they are so much in accord with his own views. It must afferd him much satisfaction to think of the speeches he made in Parliament through the medium ef Mr. Yeo. Your readers are all aware that Mr. Lawson had some aspirations in the direction of a representative, for his name was. canvassed among others as one of the Liberal Candi- dates for Queen’s at. the late election.

Where he would have been left in the political race if his irrepressible friend Mr. McGill had given away we know not.. One thing however is certain, his ability should make him a far_more creditable Grit re- présentatiye than Mr. Yeo.

THE FIVE CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS

from the Island have been unceasing in their efforts te obtain for their constituents all that the Government, with a due regard to economy, could grant. The members for King’s have been fortunate enough to secure for the widening of the Souris River channel the sum of 0. Gait of Post Offices have been establi increased accommodation... The salaries cf the County .Judges have been in- creased through the represensations of Mr,

Pope and others. For steam communica- tion between Halifax, Cape Breton and the Island, $5000 are placed in the suppliment- ary estimates ; and for the building a fish breeding establishment at.Prince Edward Island and” Cape Breton, $5000. Their speeches have been to some purpose ; and showed a preparation and knowledge of the question upon which they addressed the House that was creditable to them. There are quite a number of members upon both sides of the House whe have not spoken upon any guestion, and there are others again that would have stood higher in the estimation of members if they had remained silent. But with regard to Island conser- wvative representatives, “it is not too much to say that every question of vital in- terest to their constituents received the utmost attention frem them both in Par- liament and by interviews with Ministers. With regard to their speaking talents, your correspondent has heard from several gentle- men, not residents of the Island, that her

not be ashamed. ‘Their sound, practical views expressed in Parliament have shown that they understand the wants of their Province, and have the ability to bring them creditably before the House. A wooden man can stand upon his feet and ask questions, particularly if he be prompt- ed by some outsider. Butit requires some- thing more than mere inquisitiveness to effectiv ely agitate and demand that proper attention be given by the Government to the just requirements and interests of a Provinee, That the five Conservative mem- bers have fully sustained the expectations of their constituents cannot be doubted for a moment.

Mr. Brecken made a strong appeal for an increase of salaries for the

SUPREME COURT JUDGES.

d have sent you his speech copied from the Hansard. \t is a complete refutation of {the cclumniation of the Patriot's corres- pondence npon the matter of increased salaries to the Supreme Court Judges. The Toronto Mail contains a reference in its editorial correspondence to the effort of Mr. Brecken, and it is here quoted :-—

‘**On ‘the proposition of the Minister of Jus- tice to in¢rease the salaries of the County Court Judges of Prince Edward Island, Mr. Brecken made a strong appeal against the in- justice of maintaining “the salaries of the Su- preme Court Judges at a very low rate— lower than the salaries of the Judges of any

her Provinces. ‘The singularity of increasing ‘the salaries of the County: Court Judges, and of leaving the Supreme, Court Judges’ salaries still at the low rate, was pointed out by Mr.

Srecken with much force, and he made a 4s8trong appeal for an amen iment of the position of the Superior Court Judges.”

How is it ‘that there is so much anxiety shown by the editor of the Patriot on be-

lf of the: Supreme Court Judges now, wheu his efforts iti their favor are futile? Why did he not represent the matter to the | McKenzie Administration, with whom le miglit be supposed to have some little in- finence ? His s Sympathy for the Judges, whe are worked hard and not overpaid,

will be estimated by them at its true yalue,

nad, EE

representatives are men of which she heed}.

NO, 594,

Speia what I can learn, the Minister of ‘Justice will give the matter his attention ; |and there is not the slightest doubt that, if | Mr, Cartwright's deficits had not been so large, and which compel the Government to practice the strictest economy, the salaries weuld have been raised this session. It is but just ; and the Government

the justice of the claims made on their be- half, both by Mr. Brecken in the Commons and Mr. Haviland in the Senate.
