THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, MAY 14, 1898

MAY 14, 1998,

THE SESSION.

Tus lenzth of the session which closes todey verges upon six weeks. It cannot be said that anything very important, or striking, or beneficial to the country has has been accomplished in that consider- able period. Indeed the session is remark. able rather for what it has left undone, than for what it has done. About thirty little bille, chiefly of a private nature, were submitted to the House, and most of them paesed. But among those that were dropped was the Charlottetown Liquor Regulation Amendment Act. Nothing has been done to check drunkenaess in this city. Liquor is still to be sold in every hole and corner of the town; for there is a difference between tweediedum and _ tweedledee, The

temperance men, though ready enough to’

take the the liquor dealers’ money in the ehape of fines and use the “price of blood’: #0 obtained for public services, absolutely refuse to take it if itis to come in the

form of a special tax of $200 a year; |

and the Premier determined on having the money put into the Provincial exchequer or left with the liquor dealers’, refused to

comply with the wishes of the temperance men or to permit the tax on city liquor dealers to go tothe city. Sothe number of our liquor dealers remains unabated. Everyone has a free license to sel! intoxicants of any kind; and the evil of drunkenness abounds and jxcreases,~-the responsibility resting about equally between our Temperance Leaders and the Premier.

Several bills of importance to the city were, however, enacted. Power was given the Water Commissioners to add a second boiler and engine and set of pumps to the plant at the water station, as a precaution against accident ; the sewerage bill was passed, not exactly as some of us would like to see it, but still in a form in which it may be promptly and eftectively put into operation; and a bill was passed giving authority to our newly organized Light and Power Company to construct and operate an Electric Street railway. The passage of these bills shows that the spirit of eaterprise and progress is still present among us, and we hope to see them carried into operation in the near future. The report that the Electric Light and Power Company have obtained a mo nopoly for fitteen years is true only in so far as the proposed street railway is con. cerned. There is nothing in the bill to pre-~ vent the city at large, or any company securing power to do so, from and operating an additional electric light system.

The.public bills include several legal bills the full force of «1l of which has not yet become apparent to the lay mind. One of these refers tothe making of Q. C’s by the Provincial Government aud another to an increase in the number of Stipendary Magistrates, so that we mar, ere long, see such legal thick as blackberries in autumn. Perhaps the most important of the public bills enacted is that which provides against preferential creditors, and enables al} creditors of en insolvent debtor to share equitably in the assets of his estates. Supplements to our teachers have been cut away, but we are glad to be able to report that the arguments and protests of the Opposition were effectual to cause the withdrawal of the proposition that the standard of education should be lowered by authorizing the iseue of teachers’ licenses to persona who may not attend the Norma! School.

No practical attempt was made during

setting up

dignitaries as

the session to grapple with the difficulties ef our well-nigh desperate financial situation. Ap attempt is to

be made to obtaina larger product from the Commercial Trayellers Tax by taking away from any firm whose traveller may avoid paymeut of the tax the power to recover psyment for the goods sold by him, —but the Ministerof Justice has to be reckoned within that There i, also promised a curtailment of expendi- tures upon roads to the amount of about $8,000 a year; and agriculture is to suffer the loss of its annual exhibitions, unless indeed enterprising gentlemen, with our Agricultural and Horticultural Associa-~ tione, should step in and themselves sub- scribe prize money and hold exhibitions on their own account. Our farmers, certainly have no cause to bless the Liberals in our Legis!ature, The pelicy of the present administration—judging by the Legislation of the session closed today —is simply a policy of drift and deficit. Mr, Warburton has proved himeelf to be a courteous Premier, and he has shown & praiseworthy disposition to avoid acris

monious disputes; but he has, so far,

failed utterly in the ready resourcefulness

of Leaguer vi tue Guveiument of Frince kd- ward Island demands at this juncture. We are glad however, to note that the hands of the Leader of the Opposition have been materially strengthened by the additions lately made to his party inthe Legislature: It is to be hoped that more help will ere Jong come to him from the Tignish and Fort Augustus districts, each of which has been deprived of a represensative in the session closed today. It is now evident that the firancial salvation of the Province depends upon those who are in opposition to the government, >

AN EMPHATIC DENIAL.

Says the Toronto Mail and Empire:

“* Sir Charles Tupper gave a saflicient- ly emphatic denial to the story that he, when premier, had promised to buy the Drummond road for $2,500,000.

“ Not such promise was gives by him; no letterconvering such a promise was written.

“ During the Centre Toronto election Sir Louis Davies declared that the govern~ ment was goingto prove tery complicity in the Drummond rascality and thus justify iteelf.

“The story about Sir Charlee Tupper is the promised proof. It has gone off with a bang. ”
