EDUCATION BILL. Committee moaned.

Hon. Mr. Pause: I merely wish to say. that in giving my assent to this hill. I do not wish to do so silently. least it would be considered I gave my appro- bation to all contained in it. There are some provisions in it I do not approve of. more especially that of the increase to the Board of Education. There are also some other provisions in it with which] do not coincide. but I willnot dwell upon them now. as they have been already dis- cussed. and I do not wish to prolong the debate. My object is simply to say, that if I thought I could. by any exertions of mine. succeed in getting the bill altered in these respects. I would point them out more fully. There are no great al- terations in the bill; indeed. the system is not altered at all. except so far as the examination of the teachers is concern- ed. and that I approve of. for they should be examined by competent persons.

The House was then resumed. and the Chairman reported the bill agreed to. and theu.on motion of the "on. Mr. Mc- Donald. it was read a third time and

PURCHASE OF LANDS.

“on. Mr. McDonaw. on rising to move for the second reading of a bill to empower the Government to expend £ I 0.- 000 in the purchase of lands. said: This bill was introduced by the Government to enable them to ctpend that sum to the purchase oi lands. if they think proper to do so. Your honors are aware that the Land Purchase Bill confines the Govern- ment to a particular price. live shillings sterling an acre. The Government have been in negociations with some propri- etors whose estates. it is thought. would not be purchased at that price. as the land is valuable. It has already been mentioned that the Government have been negociatiug with Lord Helville. and these uegccietions have not been closed. partly on account of the illness of that gentleman's agent. They have also been negociatiug with other proprietors. but perhaps it is not advisable to say who they are. or what state the negociniions are in. till the result is known. It has been thought advisable that the Goveru~ uncut should be in a position to conclude a purchase if they considered an estate to be worth more than the price they are authorized to give under the Land Pur- chase Bill. The amount. £10,000. is not very large. but as ngeneral rule it is not thought advisable to extend the price the Government are allowed to give. though some small estates are worth more.

line. Mr. Panama: I am perfectly sensible. your honors. that the observa- tions I intend to make will not obstruct the progress ofthc bill ; but so long as I have a seat here. I cannot allow such an important measure to pass without ex- pressing my opinion upon it. I always understood that the great complaint the present government had before they came into power. was that the govern- ment which preceded them did not adopt such measures as would compel the pro. prison of lands to sell them at some certeiu price. to be fixed by the Legislao ture oflhe colony—that they. the Legis- lature of the colony. were the only pro- per authority to fix the price. The cry was that the Land Question would never be settled till the proprietors were compel- led to sell at such a reasonable rate as the Legislature should decide upon ; but it appears to me that a change has taken place in the policy of those who now hold the reins of government upon the Land question. In the first place it is rather strange that the party should allow two sessions to pass without carrying out the great principle they advocated so warml outside. to compel the proprietors to sell their estates. and they are now going in the very opposite direction. by passing a bill to allow the Government to purchase these estates at any price. I do not pro- tend to any the bill is unconstitutional. for if the Legislature choose to place such confidence in the Government. as to entrust them with such an amount of money. it then becomes constitutional. and if it is injurious to the public inter- ests the Government are answerable to their constituencies. But what I com- plain of is the great inconsistency of the party. which they proclaim to the world by their present act. I feel this more particularly asI took an active part in passing the “ Fifteen Years Purchase Bill." which the present party endeavored to cry down. They said it was ruinous to the interests of the colony—that it would forever settle the price of the lands. and prevent the possibility of any other party getting them at a cheaper rate. The teaautry were continued. pub- licall and privately, to have nothing to do w pm that bill. but strange to say. and more inconsistent still. not only is that bill allowed to remain on the statute book. but they go still further and say " give an unlimited power to be loud at

they will. and as much pleased to see an and put to this question. But however unwilling Imight be to raise a discussion upon this subject at the present time. I yet feel that I would be shirklug from my duty if I let such a bill as this use without these observations. I mght weary your honors and take up the time of the House by going into the various phases of this question. but as the session is expected to close in a few hours. I willrelraia from saying anymore at present.

Hon. Mr. Loan : I do not know that I would have risen to take up the time of the House if it were not for one or two observations of his honor who has just sat down. He said he could not allow such a bill to pass, without making some observations upon it. and he went on to show that we were not only sauc- tiouing the Fifteen Years’ Purchase Bill by allowing it to remain on the Statute Book. but we were authorizing the Government to pay twenty shillings sterling an acre for land. if they should choose to do so. Now. I am sure we could not bring in a bill which would please his honor more than that. That has been the tenor of his speeches for the last tenor fifteen years. and I say so without fear of contradiction. And now, becauu a paltry sum of 210.000 is to be placed in the hands of the Gov- ernment to make the tenants free. we are to be charged with meousistsncy,and an insinuatiou thrown out that the Gov- ernment is not trustworthy. I believe the money is just as safe in the hands of the Government as it would be in the hands of the Prime Minister of England. I do not like to hear such a re-cark. for it is just as much as to say. the Govern- ment are taking £10,000 to squander among their friends. No, we want to use it for the benefit of the poor people. of this Colony. who have been crushed almost to death by the grasping laud- lords~meu suchas those who grasp a few hundred acres of land on Lot 1, or at the East Point. without paying a shilling for it. I know something about these transactions. and. I coonm help warming up. when I not brought out in this way. I am surprised to hear such observations from his honor.

WN, PRINCE EDWA Emu, JULY 1, "i398. "

Hon. Mr. Dntowxu. : I give hishoaor who spokslnat full credit for sincerity. but the great evilis that no two Govern- ments agree upon a plan of settling this question. All parties profess to be star core. and I believe they are. but while they are dideriug. the people are suffer- iug. Unless the different parties can come to some better understanding. the question will still be unsettled. and the people will not derive as much benefit from our legislation as they are entitled to. I am willing to give my support to this bill. Of course, it is an important trust placed in the hands of the Govern- ment. but they are accountable to their constituencies. I am of opinion that there should be some discretionary power placed in the hands of the Government. under the Land Purchase Bill. There may be cases in which the Government would be justified in giving something more than the price allowed by the bill. and I would be willing to give the pre- sent, or any other government. power to do so. Every estate that is purchased is so much towards breaking that com- pact which has been opposed to the in- terests of the colony. and I hope the people will yet derive great benefit from

our legislation. Our case. after all. is not so hopeless. for I see by the dsapatch of the Secretary of State in reply to the feats of Council. respecting a compul- sory measure. His Grace asks for more information. That. I think. is a hope- ful sign. and I trust good will yet result from the information which will be given him.

Hon. Mr. Harrison“: I did not hear the first part of the speech of his honor from the city (Mr. Palmer.) but when I

come in he was speaking of the incon- sistency of the present Government. I

think he said we spoke warmly in favor of a compulsory measure before we came

into miles. and that we have done nothing

since; but I think we have gone fully in—

to that view of the case. and I conceive

that the policy of the Government has

been laid down in the minute of Council.

which was transmitted to the Colonial

Office. It would, perhaps. be unwise to

go into a general discussion on the land

question at present. for we should cou-

fiue ourselves to the subject matter of the

bill before us, that is piacluge discretion-

ary power in the hands of the Govern-

lIoe. Mr. Bsnosmow: The great "W" ‘0 “Wad “0:000 in a“ 9"th matter at issue is that the Government 0‘ “m”, which “I. In".

cally. They land in the Island too well to give twenty shillings an acre for it, for that is more than the land and improvements together are worth. This land question is the crying evil of the colony. It has been agitated ever since Ican remember. and. it appears to me that the Imperial Government take pleasure in keeping us in bondage. Many of the proprietors will not part with their lands at any price. and II mere is any way to compel them to sell, we should have recourse to it. At the same time. we should use every means to bring the difficulty to as small a point as possible.
