NOTES OF TUE PAST MONTH.
By An Observer.
(Continued from yesterday's issne. )
RUSSIA.
There has been no attempt this month (so far) to blow up trains, palaces or cities in which the Czar happans to be, so we snp- pose we must chronicle a quiet month. As everybody expected an explosion ef some kind on the anniversary of the Czar's acces- sion, none took place ; for, as the French say, it is the unexpected that happens. The Czar, hedged in by soldiers’ bayonets and pslicemen's sabres, showed himself to the people froin a balcony for the space of sev- eral minutes, bowed several times, and was not assassinated—so we sttppose every- thing must be considered as having gone off successsfully. Ceneral Melikoff seems to be the right man in the right place ; not afraid to strike when a blow is needed, but not striking without necessity. A few months ‘of his administration will test the
We very
staying powers of the conspirators. deubt that they will be found great,
It seems to be the fashion just now when- ever any of the miner Powers grow warlike to lay the blame on Russian and English intrigues. China and Japan are showing their teeth at each other, and as the former has also been unusually ‘‘ cheeky ” towards Russsia, it is asserted that England is back- ing China, and that, consequently, Russia befriends Japan.
UNITED STATES.
In the absence of any events of much importance, California and the doings of Kearney and his friends have attracted much attention. Unfortunately fer that State, rowdyism and blackguardism in the persons of Kearneyites have got hold of political power--and are acting ac- cording to their kind. The respectable members of society find themselves com- pelled to form an Association something like the Vigilance Committees of an earlier period. The Kearneyites passed an in- iquitous and intelerant law against the employment of Chinese labourers in the State. A United States Circuit Court has declared the law unconstitutional, nnd the Kearneyites, vowing vengeance, are threat. ening to “‘ abate the Chinese nuisance’— in other words to massacre the Chinamen ; but itis net probable they will de more than talk. As the Chinese are trious, frugal, thrifty, and can understand their being very offensive .to men whose characteristics are the re- Verse of theirs: but to get such a class of labourers is a real advaniage to any coun- try, and to take no higher ground, we are sure the American peeple are far too shrewd to drive them away.
OUR OWN PROVINCE,
The Legislative Council has evidently conscientious views on ihe subject of sui- cide, so it again refuses to execute itself ;
indus- sober, we
periment of having but one Legislative bedy and that one elected wholly by manhoed suf- frage. When we get this we shall have the honour (if we are not mistaken) of being the first country in the world that has ven- tured on this. We, however, quite agree with a correspondent of the Examiner that property will not be any the less safe when the Council is abolished. Once before, P. E. 1, struck out an original idea for her- self, and made the experiment of a modern Parliamentary Constitution with no ofticials in the House. The experiment was emin- ently unsuccessful, and we learned that we were not wiser than all the rest of the world. IJf we couid get our own way aboui the Legislative Council it might turn out better.
Deficits are the order of the day, so if we have one, we are at least in good com- pany. Great Britain, Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, P. E. Island, from greatest to least, are suffering the same thing.
We must either lessen expenditure or increase taxation. One thing should at once be done: an account for capital opened, and the receipts in payment for lands not spent as income. For the last few years the money so received has been spent jn building the New Asylum, which is quite justifiable, but before that time it was spent as income. Now that most of
and we are prevented from making our ex- |
the $800,000 has been drawn and paid for lands, it will be shameful to spend the tenants purchase money yearly. But the truth is the people are so fearful of tax- ation, and politicians so play upon these fears to suit their own ends, that they find themselves driven to all sorta uf expedients to avoid levying necessary taxes. It may be, however, that this question will not be so important a one as we suppose. The tenants in several parts of the Island are beginning to grow restless, and ta discover reasous why they should not pay any pur- chase money, or, at all events, shonld pay less, or certainly should net pay interest. When we recollect how it was impressed upon them that they ought not to pay rent, because the land which their labor had made valuable belonged te them, and not to the Landlords, we can scarcely wonder at their asking hew if it was oppres- sion to pay to a Land Lord it can be lib- erty to pay to a Land Commissiover. The fact of the Land Office being now made a political one, will certainly net make that Department any stronger to resist the pressure which it is evident will soon be It is a fact not without sig-
the amount received this
put upon it. that the Land Office falls short of the
nificance year at estimates.
The people of Charlottetown are alarmed at the idea of having to pay not only thousands of dollars for their own streets without receiving a cent cf road meney, but also a share of the general assessment. We think, however, a satisfactory compro- mise can easily be found. Let the tax be levied that will satisfy the country—then let the citizens treat it with the same lordly indifference with which they have treated the poll-tax, and it will not hurt them in the least. The city pell tax for 1879 amounted to $2,080,. ef which $56 were paid !
OBITUARY.
The sudden death of Mr. Holton has deprived Parliament of one of its ablest constitutionalists, and the country of one of its most highly respected public men. The really teuching scene in the House of Commons when on account of his death an adjournment was moved, shows that the presence of the Great Leveller gives that ‘‘touch of nature” which makes even political opponents akin.
MISCELLANEOUS.
On the 3rd, an attempt was made te ass- assinate General Melikeff.
Crissell, the naughty English M. P. was cominitted to Newgate prison on the 3rd.
The Local Parliament met on the 4th.
On the 9h a despatch was submitted te the Legislature from the Secretary of State, aunouncing that the Privy Council had de- cided that Prince Edward Island is not en- titled to make any claim on the Fishery ; Award which any other Province in the | Dominion would not be entitled to make. The death of Donald Currie, late Collee- tor of Customs, occurred on the 10th. | Onthe 10th, Sir S. L. Tilley delivered his budget speech. | The dissolution of the British House of
} Commons was announced on the 10th.
| Onthe 12th the Senate passed the In- ‘solvent Bill. | On the 20th, Hen. William Campbell, ‘Commissioner ef Public Werks, was elected by acclaination. | On the 23rd, a most successful (Easter) | Grain and Cattle Show was held in this city. | Oni the 23rd, the Bill to abolish the Leg- \islative Council of this Province was de- feated by the vote of the President. | On the 25th, an attempt was made to assassinate Hon. George Brown. _ The celestial city is still to be the capital _of New Brunswick, theugh it had a narrow ‘escape from losining it, however.
The venture of sending sheep and cattle from here by the ‘‘ Prince Edward” proved very successful.
