Gentlemen

~ 4 ‘ VERA,

af Commons :

In opening this, session of the present Parliament, you my} sincere congratulations op the beuntiful har-

vest with which Canada has been biessed, as

well as on the undoubted return of her com-

merciakprosperity and the substantial devel-

opement of her various industries. During the recess my advisors thought the;

time opportune for making anothe atte “mpt to carry out the declared preierence of Parliament for the construction and 6 the Canadian Pacitic Railway, oe means of an In- corporatad Company, aided by the direct action of the Government.

Three of my Ministers, therefere, proceeded to England for the purpose of carrying on ne- eotiations for that end. [ am pisased to be? able to inform you that ‘their efforts are so far | successful that a Centract has been entered into, subject tothe approval of Parliament, with men of high financial standing in Enrope, the United States and Canada for the speedy coustruction and permanent working of this great national enterprise.

The contract and the papers connected therewith will be subigitted to you withent delay ; aud [invite for them your early and earnest consideration

With this view i have fore the asual period, as no action can be taken by the contractors te prosecute the work, and no permanent arrangement for the organization of a systematic emigration from Europe to the North-West 'f erritories, can be satistactorily made until the policy of Par- liament with respect to the Railway has been decided.

Steady progress has heen made in the con- struction of those parts of tne Railway now under construction. ‘Two additional sections having been recently opened for traflic—one from WV innipeg to P ortage Laprairie, .the other from Cross Lake to Keéwatin—so that there are now, in ali, 254 Lailes in operation.

The measures adopted to promote economy in the working of the Intercolonial and Prince Edward Island Railways have resuited ina large reduction of the difference between re- venue and expenditure; and it is believed: that the steadily increasicg traffic war-

rants the expectation that during the current year these railways will be seli- ‘sustaining.

The report of the Civil Service Commission- ers will, { believe, be ready to be laid before you at an early day; and If ask for such report and for the whole si ubject of Civil Service Reform your careful consideration.

The failure of the usual food suply of the Indians in the Northwest, necessitated a large expenditure in order to save them from starva- tion.

Gentlemen of the House of Commons :

The accounts of the last, and the estimates for the ensuing vear, will be laid before you. The estimates will, I trust, be found to have been prepared with due regard to economy and, the etliciency of the public service.

{t will be satisfactory to you to know that

eration ol

summoned yon be-

manufactures and other produce ts of the coun- try, but has so far increased the revenue of} the Dominion as to place it beyond doubt! that the receipts of the current fiscal year will | be in excess of the expenditures chargeable “

consolidated revenue.

At the meeting of the Educational Insti- tute, to be held this evening at 8 o’clock, in the Upper Prince School, Mr. Michael Ww. Smith wil read a paper on ‘* The best means of securing regular and punctual attendance at schoo!.”” A reading will be given by Mr.

Robert Vlemeats, a pupil in Mr. A. A. Mc-|

Kenzie’s department. All interested in the Society are invited to attend.

Tam SHANTER. dProkeitien Caven will, on Wednesday evening next, lecture in. Market Hall, in aid of St. Vincent de Panl Society, on Burns’ renowned poem “ Tam O'Shanter.” The subject will no doubt be treated in the Professor’s masterly style ; and we bespeak for him a bumper house. | Our lacy friends—admirers of the hat call- | ed after the celebrated poem—should at- tend, as we understand the Professor will fire afew well aimed shots at their dear Tam 0’ Shanter (hat.)

Honorable Gentlemen of the Senaie, Gentlemen of the House of Con.mons :

Several measures of importance will be sub-| ‘mitted to you. Among them will be Biils for ‘winding up of insolvent banks and incorpor- | ‘ated companies, for the amendment of the! ‘railway Act of 1879, for the reviston and. consolidation of the laws relating to Govern-| ‘ment railways, aud for the improvement, in’ ‘several respects, of the criminal laws.

lam pleased to be able to inform you that there are now good hopes of our being able to place the naturalization of German settlers on | amore satisfactory footing. A measure will be submitted, with ail the papers connected with the matter, for your consideration.
