LEGISLATIVE COUNCEL. a

Friday, April 28, (Continued.) |

Tlon. Mr. Strong said the princi} | part of the iImcreast d expenditure arose from abolishing the Board of Works. That | honors were all loud in their outery |

nat that Board, which was nota child of the present Government, but that which his | honor the Leader of the Opposition was a | member. The loss of that child w iS, there- | fore, no affliction to the present Govern | ment; but the system they propo ed to} eubstitute would entail av additional ex-~ nenditure of $1,250. The economy the Government and Legislature hoped to ef-

ers. in the office of Registrar of Deeds. and also a present decrease from abolishing the office of Solicitor General. That office was abolished because the country thought there was no necessity for it, but

questioned whether any saving to the

country would be effected.

Tou. Mr.Balderstou believed the Board of Works might have been so reconstruct- ed as to give satisfaction. The appoint- ment of members was confined to the Gov- ernment and their supporters in the Legis- lature, and distreits which did not return members favorable to the Government were prescribed. That was to be expeet- ed, for it would be more than human for men to refuse to grant favors to their own districts which they had in their power to bestow. If a large proportion of the money appropriated for the Road Service were left in the hands of the Road Com- missioners there would be more satisfac- tion given; but there was only $16,000 expeaded by the Commissioners,and $40,- 000 by the Board of Works. If the Board had been recoustructed he Lelieved the $1,200 could have been saved, and as much satisfaction given to the country as would be given by the Commissioner of Public Works.

Hon. Mr. McDonald agreed with the proposition to abolish the Board of Works for the country had not received justice at their hands in the expenditure of public money. There was no clause ia the bill, however, to abolish the Board of Works, though there was to abolish the office of Road Correspondent. This important bill should have been brought forward earlier in the session, tor there was net time now to give it due consideration. He would like to introduce several amendments, but there was no time, and as the bill was, he was quite indifferent whether it passed or not:

Hon. Mr. Munn said ii was very re- markable that a Board which had render- ed such signal service to the Government was to be abolished just upon the eve of a general election. With what face could those gentlemen go to their constituencies and say: “ The loaf I have to feed you I have thrown away ;” but he believed the bill was so loose that they could abolish the Board or not,as it suited their purpose. He believed the Board should be abolish- ed,for a large amount of the public money was expended, or thrown away for wharfs and bridges where they were not required, except for political purposes. He could not understand the reasoning of his honor the Leader of the Government in refer- ence to giving a man salary to prevent him from taking what did not belong to him. Ifa man was not honest, giving him salary would not make him so. The more money a man had the more he want. ed to get.

Hon. Mr. Strong said his honor’s reasoning was not sound. A man must get a living, and if his salary would not support him there was a very strong temptation to take what was not his own. Perhaps he would do so with the intention of paying, but the time when he would be able to pay might never come. The laborer was worthy of his hire, and if! they wanted to remove temptation out of a man’s way, they must pay him sufficient salary tolive upon. Imputations against public officers were thrown out every day. An imputation was thrown upon the in- cambent of the Land Office’ It was said that he had done this and thet, but how could he live upon a certain sum ? As to the Board of works not being done away with, he would only say that the bill had been carefully prepared by legal minds, and they did not consider it ne- cessary to say the Board should be abelish- ed, but if their honors thought they knew better they must enjoy their own opinion. He believed the bill made full provision for carrying out the policy of the Gov- ernment, when it provided for the ap- pointment of a Commissioner of Public Works and fixed his salary, and also stated the time when the bill should come into operation,

Hon. Mr. Munn said that if his reason- ing was not sound that of his honor the Leader of the Government was worse. If an official could not live upon his salary his course was to resign. Increasing a man’s salary would not make him honest.

Hon Mr. Dodd said that he had been, more than once led astray by legal minds. If he had exercised his own judgement he would have been in a better position. Legal minds sometimes framed bills to suit their own purposes. He did not doubt but it was intended to abolish the Board of Works, but why not say so in the bill, as was said in reference to the office of Solicitor General ?

Hon. Mr. McEwen said the system of managing the roads required improvement and he would like to know whether any steps were taken for that purpose. It was almost universally admitted that the system upon which the Board of Works managed the matters under their control was wrong. They had so much money under their control that they had more influence in the country than the Gov. eroment had. The Board was a political engine which might be used for political purposes. He was glad that the Board was to be abolished. With regard to salaries, men could not be expected to work for the public unless they were sufficiently paid.

How. Mr.Laird believed the bill would do away with the Board of Works, but the subject was touched in a very tender manner. He believed in having laws so clearly enacted that it would not require 4 lawyer to explain their meaning.

Hon. the President would like to see the Auditor of Public Accounts handsom- ly paid, for his duties would be very im» portant, and would occupy his whole time.

Hons. Mr. Laird agreed with the chair- man (Mr.Muun) that if a man’s moral principles were sound there was not much danger of him becoming dishonest, because he was poor. Men with large salaries and extravagent ideas of living were as liable to act dishonestly as those who had small salaries. The amount was only a

matter of imagination. He believed the poor was as honestly inclined as the rich.

Hon. Mr. Dodd did not agree with his honor who spoke last. Men who received fair remuneration for their labors had not 80 much temptation placed in their way

a8 those who had insufficient salaries, Heads of departments were paid as much a8 the Government could afford, but those who did the work were not sufficiently paid. They had scarcely enough to live upon.

‘ordinary act of incorporation.

Hon. Mr. Walker remarked that the cost of living had increased fifty per cent. while salaries remained nearly the same, Public officers should be paid sufficient |

lon. Mr. Strong was well aware that neither small nor large salaries would give a man moral principle where it did not exist; and while be admitted that ex» travagence was curried to a fearful extent and at the present day, and lay at the foundation of many dishonest acts, yet 16 was the desire of the Government to re- move temptation, as much as possible, out of the way of public officers. When an honest man was placed in a respectable position, and was expected, by the rules of society, to keep up a respectable ap- pearance, and when his salary, by practis~ ing the most rigid economy, would not support him, he would be tempted, unless he were a man of very strong moral prin- ciples, to take what was not his own. Eveu ministers of religion had been tempted to do things which would not bear investiga- tion. The petition, ‘ Lead us not into temptation,” applied to all men ; and while he admitted the correctness of their honors’ arguments in some respects, he yet held that it was doing a public officer injustice not to pay him a sufficient salary, and pleced strong temptation in his way.

Hon. Mr. Laird, though he had spoken is he did, was not an advocate for low salaries, Every man should receive fair > Public offices required men of standing and ability, aud the country should pay them. What he referred to was that the Government were so slow in moving in the matter, and just when labor was falling they were rising the salaries. He was not an advocate for low salaries by apy means,

Hon. the President said, in reference to the office of Registrar of Deeds, that some years ago the work was twelve months in arrears, but a change of Government took place and a man was appointed who gave general satisfuetion, and the work was soon brought up. But the officer was again changed with a change of Govern- ment, and now he understood that the work was as far in arrears as it was before. He did not know whether this arose from an increase of work, or from inattention, but there was no lack of clerks in the office. Under responsible Government, it was said that, while it might be necessary to chavge the heads ot departments, the as~ sistants, who were thoroughly acquainted with the work, should not be changed. The principals in public offices were too often seen walking about the street. They should not leave all the work to their as- sistants

The Bill was reported from Committee agreed to.

A bill to empower the Government to purchase land from the proprietors; and a Bill to incorporate a law society, were brought up from the House of Assembly by Hon. Mr. Sullivan and read the first time

Adjourned.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

A bill relating to certaie departments of the Public Service was read the thir. time and passed

LAW SOCIETY.

A Bill to incorporate a law society was read the second time and referred to Com- mittee.

Hon. Mr. Strong said he understood the Bill to be for the protection of gentle- men of the legal profession, precisely upon the same principle as medical men sought to protect themselves by an act of incor— poration ; and though their views might not harmonize with others, yet if there was nothing in the Bill to interfere with the rights of others, the Legislature would have no reason to oppose their object. He did not know what the particulars of the bill were, but supposed that, as the medi- cal men wanted to doctor the people, the lawyers wanted to doctor their pockets.

Hen. Mr. Balderston remarked that if it was upon the same principle as the Medical Bill there would be objections to it. Perhaps it was intended to prevent any private persons from writing transfers, wills, &c. There wasa disposition among lawyers to find fault with anything of the kind drawn up by laymen, though it were quite as legal as many of the docu- ments drawn up by lawyers.

Hon. Mr. McDonald said the bill re- quired mature consideration. Bills of a doubtful character were often brought up and hurried through at the end of the Against whom did the lawyers want protection ? There was no person interfering with them. What more pro- tection did they want than mechanics ?

Hon. the President thought lawyers were quite capable of protecting them- selves without an Act of Parliament. He could not understand the object of the Bill.

Hon. Mr. Munn remarked that the me- dical Bill was placed before them in print- ed form at the commereement of the ses- sion, but this bill has taken them by sur- prise, and they should be careful in pass- ing it.

“Hon. Mr. Strong said the very fact that Bills were important were the cause of their coming before this House late in the session, as much time was required for their consideration elsewhere. He took it for granted that this Bill was the same in principle as were passed from time to time to incorporate societies. He presum- ed it was not so much for protection as for advancement in an intellectual point of view. There was nothing wrong in agriculturists, or mechanics, or medical

men having proper rules for their own improvement, as long as they did not. in- terfer with the liberty of others.

Hos. Mr. Balderston did not see that there could be any great danger in passing the bill, as the bye-laws of the society woald have to be sanctioned. by two judges of the Supreme Court before they would go into operation.

In reference to a clause empowering the Government to set apart a room in the New Law Courts Building for the use of the Society,

Hon,.Mr, Munn said that,as the country had to pay for the building, he did not see what right this society had to a room in it.

Hon. Mr. Balderston would oppose the clause unless some satisfactory explana- tion were given. He did not see what right the public had to find accommoday tion for the lawyers.

Hon. Mr. Laird said the Bill required’ some consideration. The profession of

the law was an honorable position. It was the field wherein many young men had distinguished themselves. He would be quite willing to pass a bill to give the geptlemen of legal profession corporate powers, but the bill went further than an He ob- served that one.object was to procure a library for the special use of the lawyers, but that could be done without corporaee powers.

session.

LAND PURCHASE BILL.

A bill to empower the Government to purchase lands held by proprietors was read the second time, and on moving that it be referred to Committee,—

Hon. Mr. Strong said it was similar to a Bill introduced at two previous sessions and he hoped it would be more favorably received, as the same arguments could not be advanced against it. He believed a bill of this nature should have been passed long ago, but it was never too late todo good. Nearly all the larger estates had been adjudicated upon under the Land Purchase Act of 1876, but there were some small estates which he thought the Government should have power to purchase without bringing them under

the operaation of the Act of 1876. There was an estate of 1,800 acres in Prince County, in the offer of the Government at a price somewhat higher than 7s. Gd.

/an acre, and it would be far better for

the Government to purchase it by private contract than to incur an expense of some-

thing like 36 per cent. under the Compulsory Bull. There were several other small estates which could be purchased, and he did think it was for the interest of the country to give the Government some discretionary power.

He did not see that any Government could take advantage of it. Many estates adjudi- cated upon by the Commissioners had been valued at higher prices than the Government would have given them, and the expense would be enormous. The expense of the ap- peal case going on in Canada would amount to a large sum, and would so increase the price of the land, if the tenants had to pay il, that many would be unable to purchase.

Hon. Mr.Laird could not see why the same objections would not apply to this Bill as were urged against a similar Biull last ses- sion, It was true thata number of estates had been brought under the operation of the Compulsory Bill, but there was a number of estates not yet adjudicated upon. He believed the course pursued by this House last year was approved of by the country, and he ha ! yet to learn that the time had to arrive foi vassing a Bill of this kind. The case in hand should be settled before this bill would be passed. Jt was a principle in law that it was wrong to prejudice the minds of jurors, and if this Bill were passed this Government might purchase some small estates at high prices, which, being the most recent pur- chases,would be taken as @ criterion of the value of land. He did not say We Govern- ment would give more for estates than they were worth, butit would be wrong to make any purchases which would effect cases be- fore the court yet to be adjudicated upon. And though the present Government might be the best we could have for years to come, yet several mombers of it were favorable to the proprictors,and all were prejudiced ,more or less, upon the land question. In_ his opinion it was wrong for any Government to assume the rerponsibility of fixing the price of land, The only sound policy for the Government to adopt was to have the price fixed by arbitration, but whea the compul- sory system would be exhausted it would be time enough to adopt another, and he bes lieved some cheap system of arbitration could then [be adopted by which to reach small estates. Fle considered the bill unsound in principle, as well as premature, and weuld therefore, move an amendment that it be referred to a committee of the whole House this day three months.

Hon. Mr. Balderston said he had opposed a similar bill Jast year and the year previous, because he thought the Government might purchase some of the best townships at high prices and thereby prejudice the Court to sit under the Compulsory Bill; but the cir- cumstances were now changed, as the great- er part of the larger estates and poorest land was bought. There was not much more land which could be purchased under the Compulsory Bill, and therefore there was aecessity to give the Government some dis- cretionary power. At the same time, if the bill were passed, he believed it would be better forthe Government to employ com- petent persons to value and classify the land to be purchased under it. Several members of the government could not be considered competent to classify land. After the land would be purchased, he observed that it was to be resold under the provisions of the old land act, one of which was that each estate was to be self-sustaining. That was wrong in principle. It was not desirable that the Government should become proprietors, and if they could not sell the land at such prices that the tenants could be induced to pur- chase they had better leave the estates with the proprietors. He understood, however, that there was a bill comnig up to regulate the sale of land, and he hoped there would be provision in it to enable the Government te sell lands at reasonable prices, though high prices had been paid for them. Nearly all the estates to be purchased were sma!l estates, and, to purchase them under the Compulsory Act, the same machinery would be required as for large estates, which would greatly increase the cost per acre of the land. He was of opinion that as the pro- prietors wouid know that their estates could be forced under the operation of the Com, pulsory Act, they would be disposed to sell their estates to the Government at reason- able prices.

Hon. Mr. Strong bad not heard anything to cause him to change his opinion of the necessity of this Bill. Tawait till the whole of the matters at issue, under the Compul- sory Bill, were wound up, would be to wait for an‘indefinite period. An estate of 1800 acres was in the offer of the Government,and could probably be purchascd at eight or nine shillings an acre without any expense if this Bill were passed. It was just the Bill that was wanted at present in the interest of the tenantry. Nosmal! estates could be pur- chased at 7s. 6d. an acre, to which price the Government were limited, and he failed to see how the interest of the tenants would be prejudiced by the Guvernment giving a higher price, The Gov ernment were men of common sense, and would not purchase lanu at such prices as would be prejudicial to the binterests of the tenantry. The Bill was not intended to apply to the Rennie Estate, or the Montgomery Estate, or any other estate pending before the Commission, but still, if those estates were offered to them at reasonable prices, he saw no objection to the Government purchasing. The Govern- ment which introduced the Compulsory Bill could not be said to be in sympathy with the proprietors, and if they wanted to take the popular side, as Governments generally did, they would take the side of the tenantry. He

existing evils, and asa handmaid to another Bill, it was the one now before the House. Upon aformer occasion this House was wil- ling to give the Government control of $100- 000, and no more, but now there remained only the Conroy Estate and the Thompson Estate, of about 10,000 each, and one or two smaller estates. He understood thata Bill was in progress to regulate the sale of estates, and’ do away with the principle of making them self-sustaining, for if that principle were carried out very few tenants would he able to purchase. He presumed the land would be classified and priced ac- cording to value without reference to cost, and though some might consider it unfair, yet the Government would have to adopt that course in order to stop the leak upon the other side and close up the Land Office.

Among temperance reformers, the first place is, for many reasons, due to the total abstainers. They set the example of an or- ganized attack on the national vice. The older temperance societies, which limited their members to a moderate use of wine and malt liquors, and bound them to absti- nence from spirits, were, no doubt, earlier in the field, but they accomplished little, and they had not vitality enough to maintain an independent existence after the flag of tetolalism was unfurled. Too much credit cannot well be given to the total abstainers for the ardour and courage with which for nearly half a century they have maintained the assault on the drinking usages of the country. That their wisdom has always equalled their enthusiam will not be affirm- ed by themselves: Some of their advocates have revelled in invective when they should have used argument and persuasion, They have denounced as responsible factors of the drnnkness of the land, all, however tem- perate or benevolent, who could not pro- nounce their shibboleth. Some consideras tion is perhaps due to them. Not a few of the earlier advorates of total abstinence were reformed drunkards, whom bitter ex. perience had taught that for them sobriety was for ever impossible apart from absti- nence. Such men, it may be said, should not have put themselves forward as the leaders of a public movement ; but their for- wardness can hardly, when all things are considered, be so harshly judged as the apathy of the viftuous and religious portion of the community, which left the field open to them.—Brilish Quarterly

A great free people will not ultimately give up even a vice which is eating its vitals because of material obstacles placed in the way of its indulgences. What it will yield, it may be by a -slow process, to the teaching of science, theexample and sympa- thetic counsel of good men, and the higher influences of religion, it will deny to the im- perious demand of law. And nothing could be more fatal to true progress in all that concerns our national sobriety than the pre- valence of the belief that the virtuous and religious part of the community can discharge, its obligations concerning intemprance by promoting legislative measures for its sup- pression. On no such easy terms can we bes come the helpers of our tempted and fallen brethern, and so the saviours of the society which their vicious ways are bringing into peril. Therich and well-to-do must live more among the poor. They must set them an example of self-control, of freedom from luxury, and superiority to the temptations of their own station.—Brilish Quarterly.

A WARNING VOICE, To the Editor of the St. John News.

My Dear Sir,—I saw in a copy of your paper of the 26th of August that about a dozen young men had left St. John for California and many others wil leave in a few weeks. Now, Mr. Editor, [ as a Can- adian and a friv: I )cople of the Dominion of Canada bere, ask of our young Canadians in the name of God to stay at home and do not go to the far off land of California. I have been away from New Brunswick for the last ten years, and been all over California, and I must say that California tontay the hardest country in the world fora floor man to live in, I left San Francisco on the 23rd of August last, and there were twelve thousand men out of work then in the city of San Francisco. People have been going to California in thousands from all parts of the world for the last four years, and now there are more there than can be accommodated with work. I am very sorry to say that I meta great many of our young Canadians there in a condition that | would not like to mention. There are many of our friends on the Pacific Coast who would like to be home if they could get the means to re- turn. If any of those young men that

ropose leaving St. John will go to Cali- ornia, I hope they will write to the Daily News, and let their friends know how times are on the Pacific Coast. Young men stay East—stay by your farms and work. shops.

I thank you very muca, Mr. Editor, for allowing me the means of stating my views boldly and without fear of conse- quences,

This magnificent Medal is of solid gold, set with more than one hundred Indian diamonds of rare brilli-~ ancy.

“ Although, in its execution and the rich-~ ness of its materials and size, this is decid. edly the most noticeable medal ever struck in this country for any purpose whatever. It is well worth the inspection of Numismatists, It was fairly won and wortbily bestowed.” — Massachusetls Ploughman, June 3d, 1876.
