LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.

MR. SHAW’S MOTION RULED OUT OF ORDER

After An Animated Discussion—Bills Dis- pesed of,

—_—_——_———

Wepyespay, April 28.

House met at 1] a. m.

Mr. Shaw moved that the. House go into commitiee of the whole on the following resolution:

Whereas, the present Government gained power at the election of 1893 by leading the people to believe that the days of taxation were far off and by promising through economy and reform to make reveoue and expenditure meet,

And Whereas, that by certain resolu- tious submitted during several sessions of the Legislature, and by the declarations of Liberal speakers at the late elections, both Federa! and Local, the people were given to understand that Free Trade with the United States mm the products of the soil would be obtained by the return of the Liberals to power at Ottawa.

And Whereas, owing to the most reck~ less waste, and extravagance in the various departments of the public service, they have ceen fit to enact asystem of taxation that is unfair and unjust, and bears most unevenly ou the people of this Province.

And whereas, that notwithetanding the enormous amount collected in taxes during the past 3 years, the yearly receipts have not Cave equal to the expenditure, and as a consequence a public debt of an alarming magnitude has been rolled up that threat- ena to jeopardize the future interests and well-being of this province.

Therefore Resolved, That the present Government having violated the pledges made to the people previous to the election of 1893, and by their extravagant and reck less expenditures largely increased the burdens of the people, have therefore for- feited the confidence of the electorate of this Province.

Hon. Mr. Petera said the motion that the House go into committee was not according to the rules of Parliament, and quoted Bourinot in proef of his asser- tion. He pointed out that the proper time to dixeus# the matters referredto in the resolution was when the House was in

committee on the address to the Lieutenant Governor,

Mr. Shaw claimed that he was taking the proper course, and diecussion could not be choked off by the Leader of the Government. He would not be dictated to by the Leader of the Government. He claimed that they had a right to rebut the statements contained in the budget speech.

Mr. Campbel] argued that the resolution was perfectly in erder. In 1887 he moved @ similar resolution, and according to May bix course wasaproperone. The Lealer’s course ie arbitrary. Mr. Shaw’s courge ie the proper one.

Mr. Peters again rose to a peint of order and claimed that the motion was out of order. He asked for the Speaker’s ruling.

Mr. Shaw claimed that. he had complied with all the rules of the House, and that he had a right to take the course Le was taking. Some of the statements made in the Leader’s budget speech were not justi- tied, and should be set right.

Hon Mr. Peters again raised the point ef order.

Mr. Bell thought the practice of the Houre had been along the lines taken by Mr. Shaw and that it would be wel! to allow him to proceed. It was not advisable to choke off discussion.

Hon. Mr. Peters said his only object was to conform to the rules of parliament.

Mr. Speaker pointed out that orders of the day took precedence.

Mr. Campbell pointed out that resolu- tions on the state of the province took precedence over everything except messages from the Queen.

Mr. Shaw appealed to the Speaker as to whether or not he should proceed. He thought he had a right to go ahead.

The Speaker asked Mr. Shaw for his authority.

Hon. Mr. Peters again held that the motion was contrary {(@ parliameatary

Mr. Shaw said tbat although the motion was that the House go into committee it did not involve the Speaker leaving the ehair. This motion might be made Jater on. Mr. Campbell again spoke in support of Mr. Shaw’s motion, claiming that it was in accordance with May, and censured the Premier for his attempt to choke off dis- cussion.

The Speaker called attention to the rule relating to the language to be used by metabers of the House during debate. He aleo referred to the importance of the point raised, and said he would reserye his

decision unti! three o’clock in the after- noon. In themeantime he wonid look up the authorities bearing upon the matter.

Mr. Shaw said he would like to hear the Speaker’s decision now. He thought he waa competentto deal with the matter right away.

Hon. Mr. Gordon spoke of the impor- tance of the matter upon which the Speaker was to pass judgment and pointed out that his decision would establish a precedent that would be far-reaching.

Mr. J. A. Macdonald hoped that the

"Spesker’e ruling would be such as he

could look forward to with prde and pleasure. The course taken by Mr. Shaw was in order and dated back long years.

The Speaker said he was folloving the example of other Speakers in taking time to consider and look up the authorities.

Mr. Shaw asked if he con]! be free to go onwith his speech directly after the Speaker gave bis decision.

The Speaker said toat was a matter for the House.

Hon. Mr. Peters said that if the Speaker ruled in favor of Mr. Shaw no attempt would bef{made to prevent the debate pro- ceeding. He desired to take no unfair advantage of members ov the other side of the Honse.

Mr. Bell moved the House intocommitt e on a bill relating to assignments by which the person making an assignment could have no preferred creditors but that each creditor would receive his proportionate share. A sub-committee, consisting of Mr. Bell, Hon. Mr. Peters, Messrs. A. Peters, Rogers, Shaw, McLaughlin and A. J. McDonald was appointed to take this bill into consideration and report.

Hon. Mr, Peters thought the submitting of this bill to a eub-committee very pro per, ag there were two sides to this ques- tion. Some legislation of this character was necessary, but similar acts in the other provinces had pot proved satisfac— tory. It was proper to carefully consider the details of this bill.

The bill was further discussed by Mesers Campbell, McLaughlin, Bell, Farquharson and Gordon. Progress reported.

On motion of Mr. Rogers, city, the bill amending tne acts incorporating the City of Charlottetown was read a third time.

On motion of Mr. McWilliams the bill to incorporate the Glenwood Public Hall was read a third time and passed.

At one o’clock the House took recess,

At the afiernoon session the Speaker gave his decision on the point of order raised by the Leader of the Government reepecting Mr. Shaw’s motion that the House go into committee to consider a certain recolution, deciding thatthe motion was out of order.

On motion of Mr. Rogers (C:arlotte- town) the act amending the acts incor- porating the City of Charlottetown passed.

On motion of Mr. McKinnon the act amending the act incorporating ihe Cha:— lottetown Gae Light Company was read a third time and passed.

Ou motion of Hon. Mr. McLean the House went into committee with Mr. Mc- Williams in the chair on all matters re- lating to ruads. Reported agreed to.

Hon. Mr. Peters introduced the fellow- ing resolution’ which was seconded by the Hon. Mr. Gordon :—

Resolved, that a committee of five mem- bers be appointed to draft an humble address to Her Most Gracious Mujesty Queen Victoria expressing the deep feeling of loyalty existing in this provinceto Her Majesty’s person and setting forth the thankfulness of this House that ber reign, 8o beneficient, bas, under Divine Provi- dence been extended through #0 many years,

The resolution carried, and the follow- ing Committee Was appointed: Hon. Mr. Peters, Messrs. Warburton, A. Peters, B. Rogers (city), Hon. Mr. Gordon and Mr. Shaw.

"THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.

Efe Tells a Story of Love and Adventuie Which Sounds Like a Book.

A locomotive enginecr should be onc of the most truthful of men. ‘That's why this little story of a seuthern engineer should be believed implicitly.

‘‘You may talk as you please about red- headed women,’’ he was saying to a group of listeners, among whoni was a Star re- porter, ‘‘but a redheaded woman saved my life apél established a home for herself all atonce. I was £5 then and was running u freight on the C. and O. in the West Vir- ginia mountains, where it took talent to run awenigne. My division ended at Hin- ton, and there was a redheaded gir! living six miles to the east, where there was a siding near a big cut and fill, and it was a bad place, as the road was new.

“The girl's name was Maggie Conroy, and she had the reddest head I ever saw on a human being’s shoulders outside of a torchlight procession. But I didn’t care for that and I did care for Maggie. One sunshiny day I was coming down track with a stock train loaded with extra fine cattle and sheep, and I had in the caboose three of the owners. It bad been raining and waghouts were looked for, but I hadn’t seen ang, and was bowling along ata good speed when all of a sudden, at the curve, I thought I saw a red light rising just over the track. It seerned to shine like a blaze in the track, and before I took time for a thought I had shut off the steam, whistled down the brakes and was doing my best to stop.

FRight then my fireman gave me the ha ha in a way to chill the blood in the veins of a man whocan’t stand teasing, and I took a look forward and found that the red light I thought I saw was only Maggie's head of red hair sticking up in advance as she pulled herself up the steep embankment to get on to the track.

‘‘With an oath I opened everything wide, but as I did so Maggie threw up her hands and dropped in a dead faint by the track, and I stopped off everything again, for I felt sure that something was wrong. I had half an hour or so leeway between trains, and I shook Maggie up as quickly as I could to find out what was the matter. She came around mighty soon, because she had only fainted from overexertian, and she told me how a big bowlder had fallen on the track in acurve near her house that I wouldn’t have seen till it was too late to stop for, and she had run across the spur of the mountain to stop me in time if she could.

‘‘That’s what she was trying to do when her red head shone like a danger signal and stopped me. Later the owners of the stock gave her money enough to buy a nice little house at Hinton and six months later I moved in. We've got the house yet, but we don’t live in it,’’ concluded the engi- neer, ‘‘for it wasn’t big enough for a fam- ily of six children, and not a rcdheaded one in the lot.’’—Washington Star.

OFFICE AND MAN.

Square Hopkins Was Modest, but His Friends Were Very Ingenious.

As I rode into Bisbee’s Corners I met the postoffice coming up the main street. It was a second class postoffice, and it did not belie its class in the least. It was a flimsy frame structure, and its ec- centric conduct was accounted for by the fact that it was mounted on rollers and was dragged along at snail’s pace by a windlass, the moving spirit of which was a doleful leoking mule.

“What building is that?’ I inquired of a group of loungers who were watch- ing the exciting proceedings and concur- rently exuding large quantities of advice and tobacco juice.

““That’s the Bisbee’s Corners postof- fice,’’ replied a one eyed man who was whittling 2 shingle. ‘‘She’s got a great old move on, hain’t she?’’

I agreed that ske had, and then made inquiry as to the destination of the di- lapidated structure.

‘‘Waal, I'll tell ye,’’ replied the one eved man as he borrowed a plug of to- bacco from another lounger and cut off a huge slice. ‘The most enterprisin citi- zen in this town, present company bein always excepted, of course, is Square Hopkins, the long headed justice of the peace. He’s jes the man to serve the town in an official capacity; but, unlike most of these here politicians, he’s the modestest man in four counties. We’ve been wokin with him here for months tryin to git him to stand as a candidate fer postmaster, but he’s so blamed mod- est he won’t do it fer love ner money.”’

‘‘Dumdest modest man ye ever see!” cried- another of the crowd.

“The only tlaing we could git out of him after beggin an pleadin fer weeks,”’ continued the one eyed citizen, ‘‘was that in his opinion the office should seek the man, and, actin on that suggestion, we are a-movin her up on to his lot as fast as that old mule kin hump her along.'’—New York Sunday Journal
