PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE

——

Continued from page 1) all restrictions or limitations by which limited or controlled cxn be the subject of Dominion legislaiion only, it does not follow thatthe legislation of Provincial Legislatures is incompetent merely be cause it may have relation to fisheries Forexawple, provisons prescribing the mode in which » private fishery isto be conveyed or otherwise disposed of, and the rights of succession in respect of it, would be properly treated as falling under the heading “Property aed Civil Rights” within 8 92., and notas in the claes “F sh- | eries” within the mesving of s 91. So, too, | tne terms end conditions upon which the usberies are the property of the Province may be granted, leased, or otherwise dis- posed of, and the rights which, consistent~ 'y witb any general regulations respecting fisheries enacted by the Dominion Parlia- ment, may be conferred therein, appear proper subjects for provincial legislation.”

Thedelega'es suggested that in view of the unesettied state ofthe question, the Dominion and Local Governments shou!d move slowly, and consult each other in in administering their respective duties until such time as a definite and matured This sug- gestion was most cordially agreed to by the Minister.

THE HALIFAX AWARD,

The most important feature of the case was in reference tothe Halifax Award. Sir Louis, as you may imagire, was thoroughly conversant with this part of the question. Whilst admitting a great deal, he,as amember of the Dominion Government, was naturally somewhat re- ticeut. However, as the foreshores were the property of the e*veral Provinces be- fore entering Confederation and never having passed therefrom, belong to these Provinces to-day; and 3 the United States paid $5,500,000 into the Dominion Treasury (less $1,000,000, to Newfouns~ land) for fish caught in these waters, it was made very clear thatthe Provinces sre evtitled to this money io the pro- portion as nay hereafter be agreed pon,

ARBITRATION,

The qvestion of an Arbitration to settle this and otber Provincial claims came up before Sir Wiitrea aod other ministere later, and although I, es your delegate, took but litle part m this perticulear subject—not having been so instructed and therefore bot prepared to do so— nevertheless it was evident from the toneof the conversation that Arbitration was the favorite way of dealing with the whole matter.

In discussing details, 1t was agreed that im cave ofan Arbitration being granted, e.ch Province woald have its Arbitrator to preside only when the particular Provin- cial claim was being considered.

On the whole, our meeting at Ottawa was very interesting aud most eatisfactory, and | am fully convinced that good results wil! follow therefrom in the vear future.

Iam firmly persuaded that we, as a Province, wil] now receive from the present Dominion Govirnment that justice which bas been denied us for so many years.

Respectfully submitted, D. Farquaars on.

Public sentiment was opposed to drun* enness, and tha liquor traflic, as wae evideoced by the receut vote «pn prohibition. Something had to oe done, and the sooner: action was taken the better. He hoped that members of the Legislature would staod together and do a lin their power put down the traffic. Something should certainly bedone to stay the progress 0! intemperance in Charlottetown. Mr. Campbell thought tha: if the Leader was cincere ne would have made the bill a Government measure. He, (Mr. Campbell) not only voted for probibie tion but worked for it. Public s. niiment was favorble to prohibiion. But th: government bad not bearkened to the wishes of the people as exprersed at the polls. The Laurier Government gave us the pleb.scite; but three members of the Cabinet had campaigned egiinst prohibi- tion. The members of ths Legislature should do everything possitle to suppres- drunkenness in Charlottetown. He did not helieve the bi'l would drive liquor ou’ of Charlottetown. He rather thought ii would intensfy the evil. Let us pass some reasonable law for the city. If the people required thistlaw there should be a petition from them. The country members do oo: know that the citizers want euch o law. Some of the clauses in the bill are extreme. He thought that if the Leader of the Gevernment did his duy he would introduce a license law to aug- ment thereverne of the country. Toey hed lice: se in Ootario and the revenue wa materially augmented by it. There did not seem to him to be much difference ip Charlottetown under the Scott Act and the exisiing regulation. He had failed to o servelthe alarming prevalence of drunken ness referred to by the leader of the Gov- ernment, The members of the Legis!a- ture should seta good example, ani he believed that if the Leader were to do hie duty ue would bring downa bi'l provding for the disqualfication of every roember elect bringing -‘hquwor into bis district during an election. Such alaw would have bis support.

Mre.Birch said he had seen more drunk-

enness in Charlottetown, during the two

weeks be had been here, than had come under bis notice during the whole two years of bis previous residence ia the city.

He was in favorcf every clausein the

bill. He believed there were provisions

GOVERNMENT POND.

Deak Sir,—From aw letter lately re- ceived from Charlottetown, with apol- ogits ty the writer, 1 wake the fol lowing extract: “1 he condition of Govern- went Pond is simply awful—one expanse of mud wth rubpish ecattered over it. How Mr. Cotton can stand having this puirid masts of rotteness under his very nose, breed ng disease avd dtath, without saying sometuing about itin his paper. I cannot for tbe life of me imagine.” Thav’s what one of your neignbors thinks about you, Mr. Ednor, she aleo said sowething about people living on Brighton Road baving cold in their heads. Do you pot think it bigh ume that some attempt was made to cleanse and purify the vener- able eyesore. Is there podanger of it breed-~ iog 2 contagion’? Is it nice to have the ac cumulated dirt of one hundred years with- in a stone’s-throw of your dwe ing? Are you aware that for many years, s°weie age and ail wmagt able kioas of filth have been emptied into this pond and that 8c much retuse has gathered there thatonly a spring~tide will cove: it.
