Immediately after the dissolution of the present House of Assembly the Legislative Council shall cease.” This is Grit consist ency and adherence to principle! Verily we have here a pocket edition of Organized Hypocriay of Canada.
But it will be contended that, while the Protestant religion may now be left to cake cure of itself, provision is to be made for the protection of property holders. Let us see that. The resolution upon which the abolition measure is to be
the them to do so, and that

based sets forth that half the members of the new House of As- sembly are to be elected by manhood
suffeage and half by the property-holders’ franchise. Is this provision likely tu con- the rights of property-holders / While it is true that property-holders are in an overwhelming majority in this Pro-
serve
vines, it is also true that the votes of non- property-holders are usually sufticientin any district to give @ majority to this or that electoral contest. The non property-holders will, by the operation of the proposed measure, be driven to exert their influence in thia way, to vote solid, to hold the balance of power between tha candidates; for if they du not so vote they will be politically “swamped.” Now, suppose @ gueation tu arise ia which pro- perty-holders and non-property-holders will be in conflict ;—there will be fifteen mem-
candidate in an
bers of the House of Assembly who owe their majorities to son-property-hold- ers; and how easy it will be,
by placing 4 representative of the property- holders in the chair, or by the superior tacties and stronger argumenta of a clever leader, to put the property-holders in a minority’ There is, in the proposed measure, no adequate or certain protection tu property-holders. Far better will it be— in the interestsof property-holders—to raise no distinction between them and non-pro- perty holders. There is no cause, no in the condition ef things, to raise an insulting, invidious distinction be® tween man and man, —to draw a line and that intelligent, well-educated shall not have the same political rights as his (perhape) unintelligent ill-educated and immoral master, who hap- ~ pens, by the accident of an accident, to have a little property.

who are not at al) entitled to exercise the right to vote. Let these be disfranchised, but let the mass of the people be placed, politically, on the same level. We talk about the necessity of keep- ing the young men at home; and yet our Government proposes to enact a law which is calculated to drive our young men away from the country; for what
young man of intelligence and spirit will care to stay here to be subjected to an un- necessary, unfair and invidious political disability? There is not here and never was here any necessity for a special provision for the protection of the rights of property. The Franchise, under which such men as McLeod and Peters, Gordon and Farquar- McMillan, Clow and Forbes, Shaw and Richards, Arsenault and Montgomery, Macdonald and Sinclair, and the rest of the present House of Assembly are elected is certainly sufficient to that

But we ought not to forget that the chief end in view at the present time is the reduction of the Legislature. Nor ought
we to forget that the Legislative Council must pass the bill. If the Legislative Councillors will not consent to place our farmers sons, our school masters, clerks, wte., on & political equality with ** property holders,” the measure must, of course, pass as it is, and the members of the Legis. lative Council must take the full respon- sibility for an tlliberal, invidious, insulting, unuecessary restriction of the right of franchise ee

Hiun. Me. McLean replied that the papers would be tabled at as early a date as possible. ‘:
Mr. Underhay asked the Commissioner of Public Lands if any provision had been made, or if the Government intended to make asy provision for the public to cross Fortune Bay while the bridge was being repaired. Also, if it waa the intention of the Government to open a road to the North Shore, near Cable Head through the farm of Ezskial Drake, as prayed for by the people in that vicinity.
Hon. Mr. McLean said: In reply w the latter question, | may say that the matter has heen under the consideration of the Government. We desire to have the matter attended to and it will ba attended to as soon aa possible. The other — refers to a matter over which the Govern- ment has very little contrul. The contract is to be completed on the firat of April and we imagine that the ice would be strong enough to travel upon up to that time as it is in ordinary years. We tried to make arrangements for ferrying across, but we could not agree to give the amount of re- muoeration asked. We desired the ccn- tractors to leave the bridge passable as long as they could and we will try to put the public to as little inconvenience as possible.
Mr. Shaw asked the Commissiouer of Crewn Lands to lay on the table of the House a statement showing, in detail, the names of al) parties who have paid their accounts in fullia the Law Office during the financial year, 1891, showing balance dune by each at time of settlement, the amount paid by each to square his account duriug the year 189i, and date of last previous payment, the discount allowed each by virtue of the Statute 55 Vic., Cap. 2, an amouat of re- duction in each account by compound interest separately, if any, and any other reductions that may have been made.
Hons. Mr. McMillan replied that as soon as the clerk could get the return ready it would be laid upon the table. Hoa. Mr. Petere moved that Mre. Hust be permitted to address the Legislature on the subject ef Scientific Temperance in our sehools. Hon. Mr. SicLeod eeconded the motion ia a few words. Mr."Areneault objected that « wrong pre- cedent would be set up. He woald be giad to hear Mre. Hunt ina public hall, bat not before the Legislature. Mr, Warburton supported the motion— which wae carried, Manox 31.
Hoa. Mr. Peters moved the followiag resolution in the eourse of # five-mipute speech, ~— Resolved, That it is advisable to introduce @ bill to lesen the cost of legislation by abol- ishing the Legislative Council of this Pro- vinee, ey ge for one chamber to be called the House of Assembly, possessing the same powers and sutherities now vested in the Legislative Council and House of Assem- bly. Resolved, That immediateiy after the die- solution of the present House of Assembly, the Legislative Council shall cease tc exist. That for the purpoee of electing new repre- sentatives for the newly constituted House of Aesembly each County shall be divided inte five electoral districts to be described in the bill proposed to be introduced. Resolved, That at the next general election and all subsequent eleotions there shall be elected for each of said electoral districts two representatives, one of whom shall be elected by the votes of electors of such districts who at the time of such election would be entitled to vote for & member to serve in the Legisla- tive Council if that body then existed, and the other of whom shall be elected by the votes of electors who at the time of sach elec- tion would be entitled to vote for a member to serve in the House ef Assembly, as at pre: sent constituted if the Houge then existed. Resolved, That the said bill contain clauses as to the duration of the new House of As. sembly, as te the qualification of the members thereof aud also clauses providing for the due election of said members and all other matters necessary for the practical carrying out of the above resolution. Hon. Mr. Farquharson seconded the resclution in a three-minute speech. lion, Mr. McLeod, Leader of the Oppo- sition, congratulated the Government on having come over te the views of the Up-
osition. He was surprised that tie pera of the Government had not gone a little further and proposed to reduce the Executive Council. He quoted the words of Hon. Mr. Farquharson when, a few
ago, he contended that the
people of West River had authorised him to oppose the abolition of the Legislative Council, aud asked him what authority he had from the people to bring in this measure / He referred to Ontario, which had an all but manhood suffrage and contended that there was no necessity to place the intelligent young men of this Prov- ince under a political disability. He would at a later stage, offer some suggestions in respect to the franchise.
Hon. Mr. Sinclair said that he was glad that the Leader of the Opposition had not strongly opposed the bill. He considered the measure the most reasonable one that had been introduced to abolish the Legis- lative Council.
Mr Rogers said that the Liberal prin- ciple of the present day is to enlarge the Franchise. But the proposed measure gives the property-holder two votea to the
oOung mare one vote. He quoted from the
arliamentary Reporter to ehow the incon- sistency of the supporters of the Govern- ment and declared that he was not afraid of the franchise vote.
Hon. Mr, Richards contended that the bill would protect the rights of property-
jholders and not impair the rights of non-
having ,adopted the policy of their pre- decessors. Pose after yéar the lete govern, ment had tried to abolish the } egislative Councii. But they were always opposed and thwarted. The present Opposition are in earnest about the reduction of the Legiala ture and will not throw any obstac’e in the way of the government. He hoped to see the day when there would be only une House. ‘Lhe resolution passed and Mr. Onderhay took the chair of the committee. a
The August Races.
Srn,—Referring to the letter of ‘*Horse- man,” I consider that it has the proper ring about it. It is a» wonder to me that the business men who subscribed their money for the svle purpose of inducing people to come to town don't rebel. Surely theygknow enough about races to see at a glance that the August programme will not fetch the crowd. Had the directors given a three-minute and a green race with the free-for-all and given a hundred dol- lara for each race, you would have seen a goud days sport, and 1 have no doubt that you would have seen as many as ton,horses eutered in each racs and the entrance fees would pay the whole purses. When the public would see the list of all those horses you might not fear for a large number of spectators, and they would get the worth of their money. But if there is nothing but a few sun-flowers and a few little colta, —well you cannot expect the public to at- tend. I will refer to the fall meeting later.
