JANUARY 7, 1886

Sir John on “The Situation.”

In the course of his speech on being presented with the freedom and living of the worshipful Turner’s Company of London, Sir John McDonald said :

“In my public life Lhave had to do not with tunery, but I have had in some small way con- siderable experience of the sister art of cabinet making—(laughter)—and therefore I think it not oe ea inappropriate that you should have paid me this great honor. We feel and have always felt,that the best interests of the Dominion —the best interests of all the provinces compos that Dominion—are involved in. the perpetua connection of the Dominion with the mother country, (Cheers.) That has bee our. opinion, our feeling, and our ardent wish. I remember at the time when we were a few scattered provinces that feeling was not sounanimousin England as Lhope it isnow. (Hear, hear.) It was naturally felt that.a few struggling provinces might become a source of difficulty and of danger rather than of strength. In the progress of time, in the develop- ment of the colonies, and especially so far as Canada is concerned, thos@ scattered provinces have by union become one great Dominion; and we are proud to believe thatthe English people at last reeognize that we may become a source of

strength to the empire rather than a source of weakness. (Hear, hear,) By a junction of provinces, which now eon-

tain upwards of 5,090,000 of people, we add numerically not a little to the strength of the empire, and I can assure you—if assurance were needed--that the will is not wanted amongst our people to demonstrate, when a time of danger comes to Engiand, that Canadians will be .ready to share that danger, to rur the perils of war and of warlike difficulty for the sake of perpetuatin

our connection, and of standing by the dear ol

Mother Country. (Cheers,) In order to do that we have ina commercial phase to a certain ex- tent discounted that connection, We have ven- tured to obtain here large sums of money to pledge the credit of the infant Dominion for the sake of constructing that great work to which Sir C, H. Gregory and Mr. Brackstone have alluded. That is a great commercial work, a work of absolute necessity for us, birding our different scattered provinces together into one vast whole. We look upon it also as of great value to the mother country, as a great and secure military ronte. (Hear, hear.) Should war arise, should an eastern crisis supervene, should, either by accident or design, the Suez canal be interrupted—and it would most certainly be inter- rupted in the case of war—ior it is a route; a means of communication on whick. no depen- dance can Pp by England — you have now through Canada a secure unasszail- able military route by which the Northern Pacific can be reached, from which China and Hong Kong are within striking distance, and from which Australia can be succoured, if succour is wanted ; aye, and by which even India can across our continent be supplied with the necessary suc- cour of armed men and munitions of war. (Cheers.) We can offer something besides that to our fellow-subjects and fellow-citizens of the United Kingdom, of this our mother country. We have an immense territory, all of it healthy, much of it fertile, much of it open to the hands

the husbandman, and certain to returna generous yeaward for agrienitural industry. Since I have been over herein Englaad Ihave heard a good deal said amongst the people, especially in the rural districts, about the possession or occupation of three acres of land. (Laughter.) Why we.in Canada offer to every young man of eighteen years and upwards, aye, and to every young wo- inan of that age, too, if she chooses to assume the responsibility of being the head of a household, we offer each of them 160 acres of the most icrtile land ready for the plough—thear, hear)--and in- stead of one wretched til ag rly —each of them can become proprietors of herds cf cattle. (Cheers.) Then, again, there is open to every English, Irish or Scotchman who desires to settle in our land various industries in which they can be profitably. employed, We have coal fields of unlimited extent, mines of useful minerals, iron, copper. lead; all the metals, in fact, used in the arts, and at the present moment there is a rush’ from the United States into the pocky Mountains to the mines of the Province of British Columbia, to seek forthe precious metals, gold and silver, which I have no doubt will be found in abundance in the early future. With all these advantages that we can offer, we feel that they would be of comparatively little use unless we had the certainty of law and order, of obedience to the law, and of protection to all in the pursuit of their various avocations, (Hear, hear.) That security we get by being connected with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and Llook forward on an early day for a more complete confederation of the Australians, which has already so auspiciously begun. Not very

Many years will see also a _ like con- federation in South Africa. If we only consider, looking into the future. we must

sce that in case of any nation threaten- ing the mother country,that union means, having to reckon not only with her, but with three auxil- fary nations as well. (Cheers.) That will give alike to the mother country and her several |dependencies the assurance of continued peace, continuous quiet, and sovereignty of the ocean. (Cheers.) ”

Before leaving the Guildhal! Sir John Macdonald was, at the Lord Mayor's re- quest introduced to him by the officials of the Turner’s Company.

Commenting on the ceremony and Sir John’s cheery speech, the London Stand- \ard says ° ' Wecan only hope witn him, thatthe work of | British Confederation still going on ali over the | world—though the principle seems under a cloud | at home—will net cease mntil the mother country, ‘strong in her union with three auxiliary nations, has “the assurance Of continued peace and the sovereignty of the ocean.”

Pronouncing Matchez. |

A new mania, which bids fair to have as great a run as the spelling matches of a few | years ago, has appeared in some sections of lthe country, and is gradually working its |way in thisdirec ion. ‘‘It is the pronounc- ‘ing match.” No doubt the fashion will ‘soon reach this city, and the young people ‘of Charlottetown will be engaged in the jcareful study on Webster and Worcester, ‘The contests are conducted something like ithe spelling-matches. Sides are chosen

‘and referees are appointed, who have | before them copies of Webster ‘and Worcester unabridged. A word

| pronouneed by either cuthority is con- lsidered correct, The test words, which |have previously been chosen, are spelled by ‘some one selected for that purpose, and ‘those entered for the fray pronounce them |—or at least they try to. When any one fails he sits down, the word is pronounced correctly and another word is given out to the next person. When any dispute arises it is immediately referred to the referee, If ithe word is not understood it may be | written down on a blackboard, and the con- ‘testants may ask to have it defined. ' tarecent match in an Ohio town some thirty-five contestants above the average skill and ability im this regard were put down on a list of about 250 words, the most of them in everyday use. Among the

words which were missed were dismay, , Tenoning, sacerdotal, equable. presume, courtesy,

harass, amateur, sufiice, voluminous, infan-

tile, oleomargarine, apotheosis, ‘onsilitis,

VOL. 18--NO, 38, Opening of Cavendish Hall.

The Cavendish Hall Co, having complet-

ed their new Hall, invited the public to witness the opening ceremonies, which took place on the 24th of December. On enter- ing the Hall the first thing we noticed were the portraits of the Quegn, the late Prince Consort avd the Prince of Wales, hanging on the Wall over the platform, while extend- ing across the end of the building, tastefally got up in moss, were the greetings of the season, ‘‘A merry Xmas anda Happy New Year,” and surmounting the whole was the word ** Welcome.” J. C. Clark, Vice-President of the company, occupied the chair; and the ex- ercises of the evening were gone through according to the following programme :

Music by the choir—‘‘My Country ’tis of Thee,”

Address by Rev. W. P. Archibald—“On all and Sundry Matters.” Music—‘‘Beautiful Vaile.”

Humorus Readivg by G. R. McNeill “The Fun ‘'s not Over. Yet.” . : Musie—‘‘Home on the Gili.”

Addresa by Rev. J. C. Spurr—‘On the Uses such a Building Might and Ought to be put to.”

Music Sclo—“Longfellow’s Bridge "—E C. McKenzie.

Address by Arthur Simpson, Exq.—‘‘Pro- gress in Our Own Time.”

Mousic—‘‘Sing On.” ,

Humorus Reading by the writer—‘‘A. Ward’s visit to Brigham Young.”

The programme being exhausted, the Chairman then called.on John Simpson, S. H. Brown, Esqrs., »nd Mr, D, Bears, Teacher, all of whom gave short and suit- able addresses. The speakers on the programme all ac- quitted themselves splendidiy. The first speaker, Rev. W. P. Archibald, compli- mented the company. He said the Hail filled a long felt want, and he boped to seea library and reading room in connection with it, and would be ready with a subserip- tion for that purpose, Rev. J. C. Spurr caid the houses.of wor- ship were of the first importance ; next came the school houses, and after: thaya hall was a necessity. He dwelt at some length op the power of sacred song, end hoped to see a singing class organized, and temperance and other secieties formed. Arthur Simpson, Esq., contrasted the

great advances that had been made in gov- ernment education, temperance and general intelligence. He said that formerly only the minister and the schoolmaster were expected to address a meeting like this, but this was all changed, and farmers could now discuss the living ques‘ions of the day.

The readings by G. R. McNeill and the writer showed that. the audience appre- ciated humor when it was cf a high order.

The closing address was delivered by tho Chairman, who briefly reviewed the history of the company, and stated some reasons why a Hall was not built before in Caven- dish.

We are much indebted to the choir, under the leadership of Mc. E, C. Me- Kenzie, for the excellent music they fur- nished us with.

A vote of thanks was then tendered to all who took part in the meeting, and alo to the building committee’ in recognition of their services in the erection of the Hall.

After singing ‘‘ God Save the Queen,” the meeting dispersed, well pleased with the first. entertainment provided by the Cavendish Hall Company.

Should Louis Riel be Bxecuted ? This question was debated on the 18th nlt., and adjourned till the 4th inst., when it was again debated by the Black Busn Debating Club and Literary Institution.

The subject was opened on the 18th vit., by Mr. John Alfred McDonald, who showed by a few well-chosen words that the arch-rebel and mercenary Metis’ chief should be executed. | Messrs. Joseph Mor- rison, Joseph Currie and J. J. McPhee also concurred in this opinion and, in argument which could not be refuted by opposite speakers, proved the just fication of hanging Riel. The other side was strongly supported by President McPhee, Joseph A. McCormack ard Hugh J. Mc- Donald.

As there were several members who could not attend that night, and the sub- ject not fully discussed, it was adjourned till after the holidays. On the 4th the subject was again brought up, when the following speakers took part: For the exe- cution- John Alfred MeDonald, Joseph Morrison, Clement McDonald. Against the execution—Joseph A, McCormack, James McPhee, Wallace McCormack, H. J. McDonald,

The discnssion was extremely animated, The Northwest situation was very well dis- cussed, and the large audience frequently expressed their applause. On conclusion the subject was put to the clerk for decis- sion, which was carried in the negative by the small number of two of a majority.

As next night of meeting is literary night the executive committee are getting up & first class programme cf essays, readings, songs and recitations for the occasion.
