Cost of Delegations.

Taz Hon. James Warburton has written tothe Patriot to state the cost of delega- is when he was in office. That was the

time when Liberals were true patriots.

ny . . . ? ara The Liberals (S80-Ca led) of these days are not so modest and self-sacrifiieing 4s the

Hon. James Warburton. For example, Mr.

L. H. Davies, when he was in office, paid himself $72.23 for going to St.John, staying

one day, and returning on the third day. Had Hon. Messrs. Sullivan and Ferguson

wed the precedent set by Mr. Davies, their deiegation expenses would have been

‘ust about three times as great as they were.

The Proviucial Legislature. ur House of Assembly has been em- ployed during several days past in discussing ulg Che Opposition have not pre- ing new or interesting. In- ceed theu notwithstanding the uw hours speech of Mr Bell

scribed by the Rev. Mr. Harvey, the high-

est authority on matters appertaining to

** Ve ancient Colony ”:~

‘ Judging by what I see and hear, I should sey that Confederation will now encounter a strong and determined opposition, and that it will not be carried without a vigorous effort and a prolonged conflict My ground of hope for its ultimate success is that it is rousing our people to think for themselves on a great and important question, to which, since 1869, they have given little attention, and Confed- eration is v s standard the young, the more intelligent and thoughtful—those who look beyond the exigencies of the hour, avd ask what is to be the future of this celony, and how are its increasing population to find the means of sustaining existence? T me, however, will be needed to accustom the people to look at the question calmly in

ithering to}

al’ its aspects. Just now, many are startled wth the euddenness with which the matter was first presented without any

pizliminary warning. A sort of panic pre veils among tose who fancy their business or various iaterests would be injuriously af- fected if Confederation were carried. They a.e angry at being disturbed and would pre- fer te go on in their oi l ways. All sorts’ of al used fesrs are previlent. A little. time w li quict these; and when we get to know tle terms anc set to. work to discuss them squarely, we shall do so with more calmness and intelligence than at present.” coe li laa iia What Has Been Gained.

In his last great speech, Sir Charles

Tupper showed what has been gained by the nogotiations lately carried on at Wash-

il go. He said °

‘Task you to contrast that language with the; (ob Wo Occupied a year ago in regard te tm great Republic to the south of us.

treaty, the answer to him is this: Nobody is to blame for the inconvenience you suffer ex- sept the Senate of the United States, your President. the Executive of your eoustry: the Democratic party from end to end of the United States declared it was a fair settle- ment, they represent an undoubted majority, in my judgment, of the United States to-day, and I believe they will represent it to-mor- row. Westand in the position that instead f being alone with the whole United States, President, Government and people ill against us, all denouncing us as adopting 1 harsh and barbarous interpretation of an old, antiquated treaty for the purpose of fore- ing reciprocity upon them, we occupy the vantage ground of having these men out of their own mouths declaring that nothing has been wanting on the part of the Government of Her Majesty, or on the part of the Do- minion of Canada to place this question on a fair and equitable basis such as might honor- ibly be accepted by the United States. I hold we have accomplished that without injuring n the slightest degree the fisheries of Canada, without injuring Canadian interests to any extent whatever. We have made concessions, as I have said, but we have made them with the avowed object of placing all our people,not only che fisherman, but the agriculturist, the lum- berman, every man in this country in a better relation with the United States than he was efore. What is the result? As I have said Mr. Bayard told us, the American pleni- potentiaries told us that there was but one say of obtaining what you ask. You want vreater freedom of commercial intercourse, You want relaxation in our tariff arrange- ments with respect to natural produets in in which youare so rich and abundant. Chere is but one way to obtain it. Let us by common concession be able to meet on common eround and seek to remove this irritating cause of difliculty between the two countries out of the way, and you will find that the policy of this Government, the policy of the President and of the House of Representa- ‘ives, the policy of the great Democratic party of the United States, will at once take nonward course in the direction you pro- nose, and accomplish that which you would tesire above everything else is the only way hy which it can ever be attained.

Parliamentary Notes. PROHIBITION DISCUSSED. Mr. Jamieson proposed his resglution in favor of prohibition on the 16th inst., and spoke briefly in its favor. He felt that no jaaterial change in the conditions had taken » lace since the subject was last debated. In eference to the question of compensation t» those engaged in the traffic, he, for his part, will be willing to grant such compen- sation, but. he denied that, liquor, dealers were in a position to claim it asa rigbt. Mr. Mills, of Bothwell, then rose and made a savage attack on Mr. Jamieson, charging im with insincerity and-inconsistency, and with being a Tory first and a temperance These charges Mills tried

iman afterward,

to make good by citing Jamieson’s. vote on Mills’ motion to reform the Senate, cad his vote on Miull’s motion censur-

Government. for not amending the Scott Act. He closed by saying be would vete against the resolution.

Mr. Jamieson replied ina spirited speeeh. He showed that both of Mills’ “‘metions were moved in amendment toa motion to go into supply and were clearly made with the view of embarrassing the. government. Gesides, he (Jamieson) had always acted in accordance with the policy of the Dominion alliance. When Mills in 1874 moved to amend the senate, he moved it as a sub- stantial motion, because hii friends were in power and he did not want to embarrass them. Moreover, after his motion was carried, he went into the government and remained in it four years without taking one step to carry out the object of his resolution. Yet this was the man_ that would now stand up to accuse him of in- sincerity and inconsistency. (Cheers.) As to Mills’ motion of afew days ago, it had been condemned by numbers of Mills’ political friends; indeed by all of them who

¥ ing the

placed temperance before party. He deeply regretted that the debate had

taken the course that it had, but he ap- pealed to the house as witnesses that it was not his fault.

JUDGES SALARIES.

Under the Bill introduced by the Minis- ter of Justice, the Chief Justice of this Province is to receive a yearly salary of $5,000 and the Master of the Rolls and Vice Chancellor $4000 each.

TO PROTECT THE FARMERS.

Mr. Adam Brown, M. P. for Hamilton, has given notice of the following motion which he intends to submit to the House of Commons at the very earliest opportunity :

Resolved, That a special committee be ap- pointed to inquire into the fraudulent prac- tices which have prevailed and still prevail in various parts of the Dominion by which farm- ers have been and are induced to give their promissory notes and securities te a very large anount in the aggregate for seed, agricultural iioplements and other goods and merchandize by various false pretexts—the goods in some cises néver being delivered, and in other cases being comparatively worthless, the makers of sich promissory notes being obliged to make ptyment while tbe perpetrators, of these wrongs evade justice,,.and that such -Com- mittee have power to send for persons, papers aid records, and be instructed to report what remedies exist in such.cases, or what further remedies should be provided.
