inging and prayer by the Rev. Mr. Wool-

ard, ot Georgetown and Cherry Valley, the chairman, Hon r Heath Haviland, gave a short impromptu address, in the course of which he referred to the great age of the Chureh of England, which was founded t as some wrongly maintain, at the time of Henry the Big th, but very early in the Christian era. He said’ that the Church of England was always known as such and almost continuously resisted the authority of the Pope, whieh she | tinally threw off He referred to the

marked progress which she is now making in the United States, Canada and other parts of the world; and he expressed the in this Province, too, she would

Moved by the Rev Mr. seconded by Mr. Cundall; \ That the thanks of this Society are due to the lady collectors for their very valu- able services, and that the present officers and executive ¢ommittee of this Society, being subscribers, Le re-elected for the ensuing year, and that the following new names be added to the executive: George L. Haslam, Sidney Grey, Horace Haszard, A. Irwin, W. C. Harrie.

Moved by the Rev. James Simpson, seconded by the Rev, W. Hamlyn:

Whereas, doubts have been raised as to whether the Province of Prince Edward Island legally forms part of the Diocese of Nova Scotia, and it is expedient to re- move such doubts,—therefore this Society resolves that the Synod of Nova Scotia be petitioned to take such steps as shall make Prince Edward Island an integral part of the Diocese of Nova Scotia (if not so already), and admit the clergy and the parishes of P. E. Island to all the privi- leges and advantages enjoyed by the clergy and parishioners of the present Diocese of Nova Scotia.

After these resolutions had been dis posed of, Mr. Carbunel, of England, read & paper upon “First impressions of a stranger eoncerning the Church of Eng land in Charlottetown.”

DLOCESAN CHURCH SOCIETY, To tHe Epivor or The Examiyer.

Sir,—May I be allowed tostate, through EXAMINER, that if the paper read at yesterday evening’s meeting of the Diocesan Church Society by Mr Carbonell had contained any arguments in favor of his own ecclesiastical predilec- tions I should have been pr pared to answer them; but as it was largely com- posed of personal abuse and insult, I felt that the wisest course was to treat it with

Sir,—It will, no doubt, be considered by all unprejudiced minds, as a very pertinent question to ask at the present time, and the question is this: Why it is that the Catholics of Prince Edward Island do not receive a fair share of the patronage at the disposal of the Local Government ? in asking the question I wish it to be dis- tinetly understood that I am absolutely free from any desire to engender any religious or sectarian discord. I merely propound the question in order to afford | an opportunity to any person therein con- cerned to offer an explanation or defence that may in some measure - prove satiafac- tory to the aggrieved denomination. In this country where the Protestant and Catholic populations are so nearly equal in num- bers, dueSregard should most undoubtedly | be had to the just claims of either denom-

It is quite unnecessary for me to pre- ceed further with this (to Catholics) humil atins comparison toclearly and un- mistakeably prove that the Catholcis of this Province are, as a class, very unfairly dealt with. What does this comparison show? It simply shows that the Catholics of this country receive but $5,000, whilst

| their Protestant fellow—countrymen |receive $21,000 of the public | money, not speaking of the

minor offices. Now, I cannot see why this should be so. There exists, so far as I know, no justifiable reason why Protest ants should monopolize all the offices of emolument in the gift of the Gov- ernment. It is not that they are better qualified to fill those offices more efficiently than Catholies are. Catholics, I think, asarule, are as intelligent, as honest, and in every way as loyal to their Queen and country, as are their fellow- Protestants; and then T may justly ask, why they shonld be debarred from—an equal participation in the offices of their country. I trust all intelligent and unpre- judiced Protestants will take this matter seriously into their enlightened consider- ation, and let the world see that they pos- sess the manliness and justice to speak up and fearlessly demand fer their fellow Catholics equal rights with themselves,

The Hon. F. Peters isa gentleman that > statesmianlike and generous views, and it is to be sincerely hoped that he will,as Lead- er of the present Government, have the commendable candor to introduce and practice that tolerant § spirit which properly claims for all of Her Majesty's loyal subjects, fair play and equal rights. The time has happily passed in this country when the demon of intoler- ance could maintain a foothold, and a bright and grand era has dawned, when men are disposed to regard each other’s religious convictions with that commend- able forbearance and elevated Christian charity which should ever characterize the good and sincere Christian. It is then to be sincerely hoped that no reasonable time shall be lost, in having fairplay and just equality conceded to those whom we have conclusively proven do not at pres- ent enjey it; and that all men according to their merit, shall haye a fair field and no avor.

PREMIER ON THE PLATFORM.

Thorough Organization of the Party Desirable.

The Situation of To-day Discussed.

_——_—

Orrawa, Feb. 15.

Sir John Thompson had a magnificent reception at the Macdonald Club meeting, At the outset he referred to the beneficial influence which the young Liberal-Conser- vative clubs were calculated to exert at a time when party ties were being loosened and new parties were forming. It was the duty of the Liberal-Conservatives to or- ganize for the coming fight, and to include in their organization all classes of the community. It was the duty of the Lib- eral-Conservative clubs and associations to discuss public questions, and to give in- struction both on the platform and through the press, and in every possible way to assist in directing public opinion into the right channels. The Premier then dealt with the trade question, contrasting the position of Canada to-day with that of the United States, where such terrible de-

pression now exists, He admitted, however, that a large area of Canada is suffering a slight depression from causes beyord

the Government’s control, and from causes connected with the depression which pre- vailed abroad, and proceeded to state the reasons why the farming industry is de- pressed. The grits were equal to the oc- casion,and although their cry in the past had been for low prices, they now taunt the Government with being responsible for the existing condition of affairs, and the low prices which now rule. He al- luded to the opportunity which the agi- tator embraced of endeavoring to damage the Government, and completely destroy- ed the sophistries of those gentlemen by contrasting the policy of the past fifteen vears with that of the MacKeuzie regime. He showed how our trade had increascd and the country developed. The Premier, in effect, defined the policy of the present Government as one of moderation, protec- tion to all classes of the community, to the farmer, the artisan, as well as to the capitalist. Combines would find no encouragement in Canada from the Goy- ernment, but on the contrary an effort would be made to break them down where such existed. He alluded to the efforts which the Government were mak- ing to develop trade, and announced, amid prolonged cheering, that he had that day received a telegram from the Premier of New Zealand, stating that the government of that colony will send a delegate to the conference to be held here next June. In closing, Sir John again repeated his ad monition to the Liberal-Conservatives to strengthen their party organization in every legitimate way.

GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

New York, Feb. 12.—Jas. Huddart, promoter of the Canadian-Australian steamship line, arrived here by steamer New York from London. He has great hopes that the subsily asked from the Imperial Parliament will be granted in the near future, and adds that the question. ¢f the fast Canadian-Ailanfic service has be- come of paramount importance in London. “Canada,” said Mr. Huddart, “must at al] costs be made the highway between the British Isles, Australia and the east, in competition with the route via the Suez Canal.” He hada long interview with President Van Horne this afternoon re- garding steamship and railway enter- prises,

Lonvon, Feb. 12—A dan gerous “crank” named Harry Carter was remanded today at Bow street police station after being charged with writing a letter in which he threatened to kill Queen Victoria.
