Retes and Comments.

Justice a bill was submitted to our Legis!a-

Justice came in and persuaded the Legis- lative Couveillors to throw the bill out. Something wrong somewhere !

— In the House of Assembly last night Mr. Sutherland brought down the new policy of the Opposition Party. Its prin- ciple feature is to curtail the salaries of all officials who receive less than $100 a year. No doubt this policy will commend itself to the able financiers of the Grit Party in this | Island,

— In the course of a brief discussion on the item of $100 for coroner’s inquests last evening the Leader of the Guveenment commented somewhat severely upon the ;careless Manner in which many of the in- ;quests were conducted. He said that in jinany instances where inquests had been held little or no effort was made to ascer- jtain all the facts of the case, and that. very often imquests were held when wholly un- | necessary. In many instances all the coronemappeared ‘desirous of doing was to make money out of the transaction.

~The papers of the Upper Provinces; have appreciative notices of the Hon. J. H. 'Pope, Minister of Railways, deceased. Mr. Pope was, undoubtedly, a man of great natural ability, and a very strong character. He was an exceptionally able man in an exceptionally able Cabinet. Yet it is a curi- ous fatt that the Montreal Wéitness, pub- lished in his own Province, has published a very, good lixeness of the late Hon. J. C. Pope, and passed it off as a likeness of him, remarking that ‘‘Mr. Pope’s tall, angular tigure yd striking face, was-as familiar in Montrgal, perhaps, as in Ottawa.”

—~Diring the debate on the budget some of the, mémbers of the Opposition im the | House of Assembly complained of the smallngss, of the estimates. Last night, howevet, & change came over the spirit_ of their dream, and resolution after resolution was tabled reducing the sums set apart for certaiy services. hey began at the ccier of the Supreme Court by contending that his servieus were not necessary, and that ithe $100 pdid him was so much money threwnalvay, passed on to the keeper of the Law Courts Building whose small salary they wishéd‘niade smajler still, pursued the same G#itsd with refetence to the -salaries, paid the county jailers and their assistants,’ and coacluded-by- advecating -a’ sweeping reductjon jn fhe AmOutits paid the élerks in J t uunty Courts. Of course the since! of thi : inovement on their pert is not, to be questioned, urn

—The Opposition have a new crotchet. It is to abolish the office of Commissioner of Crown Lands and have the Attorney- |General superintend the working of that ‘office as well as attend to the duties of his jown. Last night this bright idea was sug- gested during the debate on the appropria- tion for the administration of justice. The hon. member for West River, who was the first to move in the matter, of course dis- claimed all intention of having any hard feelings against the presen‘ Commissioner of Crown Lands. He said his remarks were against the oftice, net the man, and, of course, Hon. Mr. Ferguson accepted the explanation! Hon. Mr. Ferguson was very happy in his reply. He showed that dur- ing the brief but inglorious reign of the {Davies Government they had no less than three men, at a salary of $1600 each, doing the work the Opposition now wished the Attorney-General to perform for $1300 a year, and the Attorney-General of that day had every Grit lawyer worth retaining at his beck and ¢all during his incumbency of the office. He believed the Opposition were greatly mistaken if they thought the people were gullible enough to think them sincere in acting as they were.

— Duriny the discussion on the appro- priation fer the Administration cf Justice ast night Hon. Mr. Ferguson directed the attention of the House to the manner in which the Count Court Judge for Queen’s County was acting. He said he was aware that the Judge in question has been guilty of conduct unbecoming a British Judge, and he thought the House of Assembly was the proper place in which to make this conduct known. He charged the Judge with being the writer of political articles for a certain newspaper published in this city and with being the author of an article attacking the junior member for Belfast during the candidature of that gen- tleman He knew this statement to be perfectly true. For many years past, he added, we have also had the spectacle of the Judge’s lobbying and trying to influence legislation in both branches of the Legisla-

—

ture. He thought that Judges of the County Courts should be as much above such practices as are the Judges of the

Supreme Court. He felt it his duty to make these statements, let the effects be what they may. Messrs. Sutherland, Bel), Farquharson aod other members of the Opposition took exception to the charges in question being made inthe House, in- stead of before the proper tribunal, when the Judge would have an opportunity of defending himself. But strange to say, not one of them questioned the truth of Hon. Mr. Ferguson's statements |

EVENING SESSION.

budget. He thought that the withdrawal of the $200,000 from capital was not such a disastrous matter as the Opposition would lead us to believe. Since the present Gov- ernment came into power they have largely

‘increased our capital account at Ottawa.

ihe estimates of receipts and expenditure of the present Government would, he thought, compare more than favorably with those of their predecessors, who had a practice of putting down ‘‘a sum sufficient ” iustead of specifying the amounts they in- tended expending. Reference had been inade during the debate to the funding of the land receipts, and it was said that the interest only should be used. The Gov- ernment is only following the precedent set by their predecessors in using the land inoney as they do, and this beiag the case, he thought it poor policy for the Opposition to object to the present method. The pub-

ilic expenditure since the present Govern-

ment came into power was $05,062 less than that of their predecessors. The Gov- ernment has practiced economy wherever practicable. But there are several depart- ments, however, over which the Govern- ment has no control. Why, in the matter of expenditure for education alone, there has been an average yearly increase of $29,684.97 since the Government came into power. The Government had done all in their power to keep down this expenditure without interfering with the working of the Act. The expenditure for the Hospital for the Insane was also beyond the control of the Government. The average yearly ex- penditure for this institution has largely increased since the present Government came into power. He did not think it mat- tered much where the money comes from to meet the requirements of the country, so long as it was obtained honestly, it might just as well come from Ottawa as from anywhere else. The present Govern- ment have abolished the Tax Act which made their predecessors sc unpopular, and which caused their early retirement, an Act which we have no evidence would not have been continued had they remained in power. The country now was very pros- perous. There was no such vigorous pro- testing against the acts of this administra- tiov asthere were against the acts of the Davies Government. Now the country was prosperous and the people happy. When the piers matter came up first, the

rity '| Opposition threw every obstacle possible in

the way of the Government’s gettinga settle- ment of our claims. But notwithstanding this fact, the Government succeeded in get- ting an amouet set apart on this account which has been placed to the credit of the Province at Ottawa. The Government have also secured a refund for penitentiary prisoners, and have abolished imprisonment for debt. The people have shown how they appreciate these and kindred acts by three times returning the present administration vo power. He agreed with the remarks of one hon. gentleman with reference to the Stock Farm. He thought the Farm an

inestimable boon to the farming commun- ity. All the improved breeds of cattle throughout the country can be traced to the stock that has been imported for this farm. Cattle from the farm have been dis- tributed in the three Counties, and he did

not think that it would be in the interests of the people to have the farm sold, as such a move would place the matter of im-

porting improved stock in the hands of private individuals, who would sell them for fabulous prices. He deprecated the action of the Island members at Ottawa in supporting the resolution abolishing the duty on corn, and showed from _ official

figures that the shipment of oats was still | an important industry on the Island,—that

the shipments had increased since 1878.

The shipments in late years were, however,

largely to the Inter-Provincial markets.

He could not understand why such an vout-

cry was being made about the drawing of! $200,000 frum capital, as such a move’! was in accordance with a resolution which } passed both branches of the Legislature last ! session. :

Mr. Bell followed. He objected to the Government drawing frem the capical in! the Land Office, and from the sum placed to the credit of the Province at Ottawa.

He said the Government had squandere] | the claims of the Province to subsidies, and |

instead of being entitled to the gratitude |

of the people, they deserved the greatest! censure. The sins of omission on} the part of the Government were also. he thought, as objectionable as those of

commission. The reducing of the freight | rates on the Island railway had not been! attended to, although they are much

too high. The wharves and piers still on} the hands of the Government have also | been neglected, and cur claims on the Do-' minion Government in the matter of winter

communication have not been pressed as

they should. In conclusion he advocated

the discharging of all but one clerk in the. land office—said clerk to attend to the fil- ing of deeds—and denied that the Oppo sition were in favor of direct taxation.

Mr. Gordon spoke briefly. He expressed his approval of the course pursued by the Government in the matter of the with- drawal of $200,000 from capital at Ottawa. The capital the Government had there when they assumed power was there still with a considerable increase, and he could not understand what all the crying was about now. He referred also to the ab- sence of the usual unrestricted reciprocity speeches from the Opposition, and express- ed his pleasure at the apparent fact that the hon. member for West River had re- gained his senses.

Hon. Mr. Bentley spoke next. He jsaid the charges of importance against the Government were very few. One

charge made was that the Government had gone to Ottawa quietly and secretly to draw a portion of the money at our credit there—money which they had been author- ized todraw. But the delegates did not steal away ou Saturday night and travel all day Sunday. He contrasted the state of the finances of the country at the present time with the finances during the reign of the Davies Government, showing that al- though tic present Government did notfre- sort to direct taxation there was a surplus instead of a deficit, as formerly. If the present Government remains in power the su’ s:dy from the Dominiea will be greatly increased, if it were not it

would certainly not be the fault of the present Government. With reference to the statement of the

hon. member for West River that the roads and bridges throughout the country were in a bad state, he had to say that such was not the case—that they were now, notwith- standing the wet season, in as good condi- tion as at any time during the period when the preceding Government was in power. He thought that the Government deserved every credit for the manner in which they had pressed the claims of the Island for piers,ete., upon the Dominion Government, and for their success in having an increased amount placed to our credit at Ottawa, as well as for the saving they have effected in the matter of legislation. The expenditure for ferries was increased, Owing to the un- looked-for repairs, etc., on the ferry steam- ers, but the expenses were not more than was absolutely necessary for the proper maintenance of that portion of the public service. The tctal cost of the rights of way of new roads, including sur- veying, was about $135. In nearly every case the valuations were made by himself, the Government thus being spared that ex- penditure. The expenditures for repairs, etc., on the Provincial Building last year was $1433, the smallest sum for ten or twelve years. The cost of this building and the public officers connected therewith was also considerably reduced. He could not see the necessity of resorting to direct taxa- tion when we had a source of*revenue in the shape of claims upon the Dominion Government. He next referred to the statements of the hon. member from Bed- eque with reference to the drawing from the Land Oftice receipts instead of capitalizing the amounts, claiming that the present Government with their diminished receipts did not have so much right to capitalize the receipts as had their predecessors with their receipts from direct taxation. The hon, member aiso censured the Government for not having the freight rates on the Island railway reduced, when he should know that they had nothing whatever to do with the matter.

Mr. J. R. McLean moved the adjourn- ment of the debate.

House adjourned at 12.20.

Trurspay, April 4.

Mr. J. R. McLean resumed the debate on the budget. He said that he was not in favor of direct taxation, criticised the budget speech, attacked the Land Office, condemned the Government for drawing upon capitel, and declared that Prince Edward Island should have been represented at the Quebec Conference. He gave the Commissioner of Public Works the credit of being a very efficient officer, but thought the Government had not exerted themselves as they ought to have done to obtain a recognition of our claims upon the Dominion Government. He favored the reduction of the Legisla- ture.

Hon. A. J. McDonald said that he was opposed to the reduction of the Legisla- ture on the ground that a small Legisla- ture would, as in former years, be un- workable. Neither was he in favor of the abolition of the supplementary clause. Re- ferring to the question of a market for our potatoes, he pointed out that the United

States was not our only market. He contended that every loyal man in Canada is opposed to Com- mercial Union, and ridiculed the idea

that the Government should have sent representatives to the Quebec Conference. As to our representatives at Ottawa, he

said that they systematically oppose the interests of Prince Edward Island, and in- stanced their unpatriotic conduct in respect to the proposed abolition of the duty on corn. The Government, he thought, de- served credit fur having successfully pressed the just claims of the Province upon the Dominion Government. In his opinion the finances of the country were in a very satisfactory condition, and the people were prosperous, He was not in favor of selling the Stock Farm, as had been sug- gested, as he knew that the Farm had proved of great benefit to the farmers of tne Province. He certainly thought the Goverament should do all in their power to keep it up.

This closed the debate, and the House went into committee of supply, with Mr. Kelly in the chair.

House adjourned.
