NOVEMBER 26, 1883. The Coming Session. PARLIAMENT will meet on the 17th of January vext. This is about a mouth earlier than usual. The Government have thus met the wishes of honorable members who, impatient ot remaining io Ottawa while the ‘“‘spriug trade” going ov, sigued a ‘round robin” 10 early opening of urged. lhe adoption of the suggestion shows that the Government have a proper regard | for the interests of the people’s represen: | tatives, and that the efficieucy of the Departmeats under their control, is such that they are able to have their reports made a month sooner than in past years. It is, perhaps, too soon to indicate cor- rectly the topics Which will be discussed duriug the coming session. The Na- tional Policy will, no doubt, be attacked. Bat in view of the many notable sur- prises which the Opposition have ex perienced in the working ont of that policy and the many reverses they have already met with respect to it, it is not likely that their attack wil) be either united or vigorous. They were surprised to learn that more thau sufficient revenue was raised under it; they were surprised to learn that factories sprung up, and trade revived under it; they were most of all surprised when it became clear that the prices of goods required by the people are no higher (but rather lower) under it than under tke old tariff, and that consequently the burden of taxa-

found itwhen McKenzie and Cartwright misgoverned the country. But while they have over and over again, been sur- prised that their dire predictions were unfulfilled, they must have been deeply grieved—shocked, in tact,—to find that with the National Policy vs. Free Trade for a question at the polls, they could pot | win a single by-election—and lost| several seats! So it is no wonder the Opposition are at sixes and seveus ob

~The Hoo. Mr. Mousseau having recently visited Ottawa, was interviewed concerning the serious charges made against him by the Moutreal Star, On being asked his opinion of the charges brought against him and his Adminis- tration by the Citizens’ Gas Company directors, he gave them an emphatic denial, and as being without the least foundation. In fact, he said he had never been approached by.avy speculators with a bribe, as was stated in the Star. He was not inimical, he remarked, to the pew company, but had to protest as it was his duty in vested interest. He was not opposed to cheap gas for the citizens by any means, and would do justice in wood time. He fivally expressed his intention to hold all parties circulating such reports responsible for their slanders.

—A United States paper says that ‘‘Matthew Arnold, the great English thinker, must not too severely criticise the apparent idlers whom he may see leaning against the hitching posts in the iuterior villages of our country. The humblest American villager claims fhe same right to think as the proudest British professional.”

‘The Rifle.

Saturday afiernoon, the final competiticn for the Harper medal was fired at the Ken sington Rifle Range. There were four competitors, viz: Sapper D. L. Hooper, who has already won it twice, Sergeant B. Hooper, another winner of it twice, Lieutenant Horne who has won it once, and Sapper J. M. Davison who also won it ence. The ranges used were the 200, 400, 500 and 600 yards, 5 shots at each range, with one sighting shot. Sapper D. L. Hooper with a score of 74 was the fortunate winner, and now the medal comes finally into his possession. The following are the scores :--

Highest Possible Points 100.

issue, no woader that Parliament is not, in the coming session, likely to be long occupied in making comparisons between the old tariff and the new.

Of course the most will be made of the business complicatious which have result- ed from the imprudence of the cotton manufacturers in cousigning all their wares to Ove firm in Montreal; and it may be saiely predicted that the Opposi- tiou, at least, will studiously avoid refer- ence to the much more unhappy compli- cations of a similar kind which exist in Free Trade England. Of course these complications are to be regretted; but as they tend to make goods cheaper to the consumer it is not likely that the

people or their representatives will fret or grieve over them. The mistakes which have been made will of course bring trouble

upon the manufacturers and their ems ployes ; but they will be rectified, The mauufactories will still remain, and we shall, in them, for all time, possess a guarantee that prices cannot be forced up unduly much abovethe cost of production. | The wore manufactories, the lower will be the cost of manu- factured goods and the be the demand for farm produce. Sur- porters of the Goverument will make short work of any attempt to provoke discontent in the country because some of the manufacturers and their agents are in difficulties.

|

There will ro doubt be an interesting | discussion about the Canadian Pacific | Railway Company, their achievements | during the year aud the guarantee by the) Goverament of their Capital Stock. | With reference to the laiter potnt, | Parliament and the country are entitled | to, and will doubtless receive, the clearest | and fullest explanation that can be made; | and should the explanation prove to be| unsatisfactory—should it appear that| the security taken by the Government is | not good,or that the Company have | made a lot of money by the transaction | at the expeuse of the country,—the Gov- ernment will be a proper object for Par- liameutary censure. But, while diseuss- ing the subject, it will be remem-| bered that the interests of Canada | are bouud up iv the suceess of the Com, |

pany ; aud that, good reason for such an arrangement being apparent, the Govern. ment would be in the highest degree blameworthy had they, while guarding the interests of the eountry,refused to aid the Company and so imperilled the success of the great national undertaking they have in hand.

The Bill to equalize the qualifications of voters in Dominion Elections will, we presume, be again submitted during the coming session. There are, of course, May good reasons Why the franchise of Cascada should be revised and assimil- ated. Suil they do not seem to us to be very presssing; and it would, perhaps be, on the whole, better to delay the Bil until publie epini um has been clearly eXpressed With provisions. women of

respect to its leading Giving the franchise to property wh6* have never voted aud withholding it from men of Do} property who have always voted,are pro- visions which hould be carefully scanned and criticised before the Bill becomes law. Certainly the representa tives uf ihis Province should make com- mon cause with those’of Manitoba and

better will |

The afternoon was not a good one for shooting, consequently the scores were not so high as might have been expected. Be- sides it came on dark before the compe- tition was finished thus rendering shooting almost impossible,

The medal itself is a very handsome one, and well deserves the special efforts that have been made to obtain its possession. It is of solid silver in the form of a star, nicely and delicately chased, having a gole cenire on which is the figure of a rifleman in a kneeling position. On the reverse side are the words “‘ Presented by J. R. Harper to Charlottetown Engin- eer Company.’ Attached to the medal are ribbon and elasps, Sapper Hooper, the winner, is one of the Jaland’s best marksmen, being known among Militiamen as a “‘good solid shot.” On two or three occasions he has been to Oitawa on the Island team in the competitions for Wimbledon.

There are secret anti polygamy secieties being organized throughout the States, ‘as well as in Utah itself. This is making the Mormon organs cry out in indignation and professed sorrow. In fact, this Mormon difficulty has to be faced, and the more the whole thing is considered the more that diffieulty will be fougd to be a very grave one, Involving very formidable issues, and likely not to be overcome without a large expenditure, both of blood and treasure.

What is known as the Quincy system of «'ementary instruction 13 becoming inecreas> ingly popular in the United States, almost wonderful results being claimed for it. In- stead of beginning with the alphabet, chil- dren are teught to recognize words and sen- ences, andgase eoongs they are able, to write them. The difficuities ig the way of such a course are said to be not nearly sq great as might bo anticipated. The great maxim of this school is, that ‘‘ one learns vy doing.” Everything is reduced to actual practice Addition, subtraction, iractions and other arithmetical caloulationg are taught by combinations and separatior of some plastic substance.
