Hon. Mr Bentley replied that the re- turns would be brought down as soon as } OSsSiD e@. ‘ a
Mr. McLellan asked the Commissioner of Public Works if a petition had been re- ceived, during the past year, from the in- habitants of Horse Head and Skinner's Pond, asking for a road from the Horse Head Road to the shore; and if so, what the Gor ernment intend doing in the matter.
Hon. Mr. Bentley replied that the peti- tion would be laid upon the table of the H
use. House resumed consideration of the bill respecting elections. After some time progress was reported.
By message it was reported that the Legislative Council had passed the Summer- side Incorporation Act, and the Bill re- specting the redistribution of the wards of Charlottetown; and offered suggestions to the bill respecting the profession of medicine and surgery, and the bili to amend the Public Schocls Act.

EVENING SESSION.
The act to incorporate the Trustees of the Presbyteriar Church at,Caledonia, was read a second time and submitted to a committee of the Whole House, Mr. Montgomery in the chair. Bill reported agreed to without umeudment, and moved to be read a third time to-morrow.
Mr. Bell iatroduced a resolution provid- ing for the introduction of a bill amending the Land Purchase Act of 1875, so as to ex- tena its provisions to those proprietors re- ceiving rents for township lands less than tive hundred acres in the aggregate. He supported the resclution in a characteristic speech, claiming that the Government was not treating the tenants on certain smal! estates as they should be treated, because it did net pass sucha bill as that for which this reselution called, even though it might not receive the sanction of the authorities at Ottawa.
Mr. Farguharson, who seconded the ra- solution, attacked the Government for not taking more prompt action in buying out such of these small properties as were will- ing to sell, and taking steps to compel *hose to sell who were unwilling to do so.
Hon. Mr. McLeod and Hon. Mr. Fer- gusn both made replies. They demonstrat- ed the absurdity of passing such an act as that suggested, explained the expensive nature of the legal machinery that its oper- ation woulc, necessitate, and showed to the satisfaction of the House that the Govern- ment was not neglecting the interests of the tenants in question, but was doing every- thing in its power, with fair prospects of success, to buyout such of the few remain- ing proprietors as were willing tosell. Hon. Mr. Ferguson also showed up a litile traas- action the Davies Government had with ene of the proprietors of land in the dis- trict represented by the seconder of the resolution, explaining that shortly before
had a wood deal to do with the Govern- ment’s not being able to make a reaseaabdie
arrangement for the purchase of other es-
tutes. Hon. Mr. Bentley, Mr. Peters and Mr McKay also spoke to the resolut

APRIL 26 Hon. Mr. Gordon submitted a bill to in- corporate the King’s County Exhibition As- sociation. The Bill was read a first time and referred to the Private Bills Com- mittee. Mr. Shaw asked the Commissioner of Public Works what action the Government intend taking to have the wharf at Dundas repaired this summer; also what action the Government intend taking in answer to the prayer of a petition forwarded to the the Executive Council, last year, praying for the opening of a new road on the south side of the Montague River, from the county line to Montague Bridge. Hon. Mr. Bentley said that the wharf would be put in repair as svon as possible. The road would be visited, and he would see what was best to be done about it. Mr. McLeod asked the Commissioner of Public Works what action the Government intend taking with respect to granting the prayer of a petition from the residents of Murray River, Hopefield and Pleasant Valley, asking that the course of the Murray Harbor Road between floating Bridge and Murray River be changed. Mr, Farquharsou asked the Commission- er of Public Works to lay upon the table of the House a statement cf a survey or re- turn, showing the quantity of iand taken by the Government from Stewart,Burns for right of way and for which the sum of $250 was paid; also to lay upon the table a de- tailed statement giving the names and re- sidences of the persons to whom was paid the sum of $304.52 for inquisition on new roads for 1889. Hon. Mr. Bentley replied that the re- turns would be prepared and submitted as soon as possible. . Mr. John McLean asked the Commis- sioner of Public Works if it is the intention of the Government to open a road on the line between Peter MacDonald’s and Allan MacDonald’s on the north side of Lot 45; also, if it is the intention of the Govern. ment to open the road from main post road to Little Harbor beach, petitioned for for several years past. Hon. Mr. Bentley replied the proposed roads referred to would be considered as soon as possible, Mr, John McLean asked the Leader of the Government what action the Govern- merit intend taking with reference to the petition of Michael Foley, Patrick Grady and others, asking for an expenditure of $300 on Terrentum Road during the coming summer, so as to make that road passable for carriages. Hon. Mr. McLeod replied that the Gov't had not yet arrived ata conclusion about the matter. But if the Government could see their way clear to grant the request of the petitioners they would do so. Mr. Shaw asked the Leader of the Gov- ernment what action the Government in- tend taking in answer to the prayer of a petition from certain persons at Montague Bridge, asking that steam communication be resumed between that place and George- town for the ensuing summer,
Hon. Mr. McLeod replied that the mat- ter was under the consideration of the Gov- ernment.

Dalhousie College.
It is pleasing to note that the honor of delivering the valedictory addresses at the convocation of Dalhousie College, on Thursday last, fell to two young Islanders The Halifax Morning Chronicle says : * Tse valedictory address for the graduating cles in arts was delivered by Frederick J. Me- Leod. It contained many interesting points and many refjections and suggestions which showed much thought and careful preparation, ‘The address was loudly ap- plauded.
‘** The valedictory by Humphrey Mel- lish, L. L. B., for the graduatiug class in law, was an unusually clever one, and was delivered in a very pleasing manner. Mr Mellish was frequently applauded, and showed his ability at repartee when inter- rupted by the freshmen.” He also delivered the vaiedictory on taking his degree of B. A. several years ago.
Scuoonek AGRouND.—The Pictou News says : Aschooner from P. E. 1. loaded with oats for New Glasgow is aground in tie East River and is beiug unloaded by the Eger- ton.

As appeal is being circulated among our business men to give their advertising pat- ronage to what is described, not inappropri- ately, as ‘‘An Universal Mediu.” The motives suggested are the desire *‘to take advantage of the opportunity” or ‘to make | a contribution towards the expenses of a very considerable undertaking, the cost of which should be diffused among those ti- terested in promoting a great movement.” The nature of the **medium’” is explained in the announcement annexed to the cir- cular—-evidently a block to be used #5 an

EXTRACTS FROM | SPEECHES OF ERASTUS WIMAN.| OW IN PREPARATION, a pamphlet
N entitied “FACTS AND FIGURES FOR FARMERS, AND ALL WHO LIVE UPON THEM,” being Extracts from Speeches of Erastus Wi- man on the subject of Unrestricted Reci- procity.
In view of the proposal in the United States Congress to double the tribute now paid into the Treasury of that country by the Farmers of Canada for the privilege of selling their pro- ducts, the question of a possible free market therein possesses an immediate and personal interest for every farmer far exceeding that of any other subject.
Fifty thousand copies of the Pamphlet will | be sent free to Farmers and Country Mer- | chants in all parts of the Dominion, the names being selected by Liberal Members of Par- liament at Ottawa from Voters’ Lists, and a dist) ibution thus secured under their direction | among the most influential, the most istel- | ligent, and the most thoughttul men in the | country.
In order to bear a portion of the expense, a limited number of advertisements will be re- ceived at the rate of $15 per half page or $25 for a whole pags. It is difficult to conceive of a medium for announcements more direct, | more widely diffused, or that will be read | with greater avidity and treasured with | greater care for future reference by the great | class for whom it is intended. :
and insert advertisements intended for this | publication. L. A. TAYLOR, Manager Natioual Publishing Co. 37 Yonge Street, Toronto, March 27, 1890. This announcement is very significant, and will convey useful information to those who are opposed to the ‘“‘great move- ment” which its promoters on both sides of the line are endeavoring to advance by underhand means and all the devices of an. artificial agitation. This great movement, is nothing but the plot, of which traces are appearing in all directions, for bringing about the annexation of Canada to the United States. The clique which is engineering this conspiracy in the United | States, though prepared to c ntribute to the cust of the ** movement,” including as- sistance towards the election of their allies at Ottawa, being shrewd busineas mea, are not above receiving any aid towards the cost from others whu are interested. Of especial significance, and worthy of notice aS a& warning, is the announcement that ** Liberal members of Parliament at Ottawa” are aiding in the distribution of this medium for promoting the ‘* great movement” for annexation. They are all in one boat; the conspirators in the United States supply campaign litera- ture for the election of their Grit friends with the one-plank platform of an approach to annexation, and the Canadian plotters he!p their allies on the cther side to spread their advocacy of union with the great re- public.
Indications of the connection between the two wings of this conspiracy and of the activity with which the plot is being carried oi in both countries are constantly occur- ring, and from them we may imagine the underhand work that is going on without detection.
The patriotic, loyal menof Canada should be on their guard against this organized effort to surrender their country to a foreign power.

‘Terrace House’ For Sale, BY AUCTION.
[ AM instructed by Mrs, Catherine McKenna to sell by Auction, on the Premises, cor- ner of Pownal and King Streets,
On Saturday, 3rd day of May, AT 12 O'CLOCK, NOON, That valuable property known as the ** TER.
XACE HOUSE,” comprising a lot of land fronting 40 feet on Pownal Street and 84 feet
demn it and its promoters, unheard, with- out discussion,
Mr. Moore is an out-and-out advocate | for the utmost liberty or license to sellers | and drinkers of ardent spirits to do as they! please. He maintainsthat§t is illogical to say that the evils caused by drinking and selling liquors warrant their banishment from society, and contends that the rights of rumsellers and drinkers are as sacred as trial by jury and the rights of conscience. Now, it is a pity that Mr. Moore should aot think of other rights more sacred and inalienable than the rights of tipplers. Chat there are such, goes without saying. What has Mr. Moore to say for the rights £ families desolated by this very drink ? Are not the rights of broken-hearted wives ind mothers fit to be compared to the rights of his proteges? Have not the whole com- munity any rights but to fold their hands and let in the flood of intemperance over the land? Surely. Mr. Moore has mistaken his calling if he thinks that the rights of rumsellers should have precedence of all thers. But, I maintain that the sellers of ardent spirits shéuld have no rights to madden our dearest earthly friends, and embitter thei lives or the life of anyone, Self-preservation is the first law of nature. Che liquor traffic violates that law. It kills us by the hundreds and thousands. Our hospitals, jails aud lunatic asylums are continually filed by this one potent evil. Is it any wonder that the world should cry out: “O Liberty, what untold evils have been done in thy name ?”
