OCTOBER 25, 1882.

The Legislative Council Hlection.

Tals is the third election of the year: No doubt the people are heartly sick, ot the worry of elections. But they \are compelled io bettup.and.a: them.” If we had to elect our executive officers as they | doin the States, there might be some | zest in the business; , But ours are mere tiresoma,, Struggles to get very. great superabuodance of Legisiators.

Our, Legislative mactinery now con; sists of a Lieuterant.Governor, j7ith tits iwo Aides-de-Camps and, his, Private Secretary ; a House of Assembty,of thirty members, with @,1/\Mr.. Speaker,’ a,Chief Clerk avd A-sistant Clerk, two, reporters, a Sergeant-at-Arma,/two messengers ain) two door-keepers ; .and .a Legislauve Counei ot thirteen.members witha ‘* Mr, President,” a. Clerk,, an Usher of;the Black Rod, a. reporter, a messenger and a dookeeper. Without taking;into con- sideration the Executive Council ,who initiate all the Government measures, or the ten Representatives we send toOtiawa, whose duty, itis to legislate in the jater- ests of the Island }in . particular, aod Canada in general—we have here—right here iu little Prince Edward. Island - engaged in the work of_legislating for a hundred thonsand people——no ‘less thao FORTY-FOUR MEN, Who are attended and waited upon by a staff of N»eNETEEN officials and servants,

These sixty~three men with their sup, plies of stationery (all tolled) cost the Provioee, when the Grits were in power, nearly three hundred dollars ($300) each per year;/and even since the .ma:ked reductions of the Liberal Couservatives were made,the yearly cost,te the. tax payers of each mav of them amounts to little “less. than TWO -BUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DOLLARS.

Yet it: is seriously maintained | by the » Opposition that, this. enormous burden of); Legislators . must { OO8i} be lightened. »The.! Upper

(with its officials) is, it is said, necessary as a check “upon »tke, Lower’ House and the Government... Like » the; Parliament a: Westimiester; whieh :deals,jwith the} various afiairal Of.a. vation dn),whose flag. the sue of the upiwerse vever sets. like the Parliament, af .Qttewa, which legislates for the grdater balfof a Conti- neut,-—the Legislature of Prinee Edward Island, with the roads and schools of. a Province about:a hundred , miles. long: to provide for, must (so the consist: of two. Chambers.

Let.us trace the passage of .a Bill threugh the Legislature. .We shall see » hether! there, are uot now far too many, guards ‘an@ checks upop; Legislation,

diffused '-and attenuated to secure that watchfulness and carefulness in| Legisiar tion, which is necessary to the passage of only good,.sound, cousisteat, workable laws, ;

We shall suppose the Bill to be: a Goverament measure. The principles to be embodied.,in it, are first: discussed and, #ettied m, the Executive Council— which is, nothing more nor less. than an} influential ..Committee; of , the People’s Represeetatives. in the Legislature, The Bill. is Attorney »>General— formulated, . It, is then submitted to a caucus of the Goverp- ment, shpporters,,.and if mecessary,, Ter. vised... ‘Then. its, main points are sub mitted by seperate resolutions to #Com- mittee ofthe whole House of Assembly; andthe whole matteris talked over. . lf the resolutions are agreed to, the next step is its introduction, whieh, is usually accompanied | by ,a brief explanation; Then. it is read. ** a first time”. and is, laid on the table, to,be examined. by. '* Hon. members.” On some other day following, itis read.a second. time, com- mitted to a, Committee of the. Whole House and read and discussed, clause by clause: Then it is reported agreed to— with or without ceriasn,,,amendments, Then, it is -engrassed),aud..read a: third time > then it ia:paaséd amd{is duly aud formally signed by.

. Committee- is appointed to —irame ‘reasons’ why the amendments should not be adopted; and before, the matter is settled there are perhaps two or three ‘‘ Conferences ” over it. After an agree- meut Had Oédd aryived at; the Bill is seut to the Lieutenant Governor who officially cons sit sever ;;,, and, on the last day of the session, in the pres- euce of all the representatives assembled, he fornratly gives thé 'vite-repab assent. | The Attorvey General then wakes a short report of the Bill atid’ the Teasots fon its passaye} gid the’ Bill) ‘with’ the report, j8 sént to the Department’ of’ Jus-- tice at Ottawa.” The Mibisteror Deputy: Minister eXamines it, reports favorably | or utfavorably ; aud then he lays it, with

In’ all these stages it is afl the’ while subject to criticisms of a watchful Press and an interested people ; and all the while it is Tiablé to be” petitioned agaiust. “If with good reason, it be considered by the people to be ruinous or very’ dangerotis to their interests, such an ‘agitation could be raised as must lead inevitably io its defeat’and the downfall of the Government which introduced it

In the name of commion sense, in the name of economy, in the name of good legislation, we ask, ‘are all these stages, all these forms, necessary to’ good legis- lation? Is it not even reasonable ‘to suppose that if the Legislature be reduced

Drunkenness in Callings.

Masters and managers are beginning to realize the responsibility of keeping

now taking active measures to ensure a higher standard of conduct, and to secure greater efficiency adhd‘ safety to all “con- eeroed in the various ‘callings. ‘Weave before’ called attention to thé fact ‘that, in the majority of cases, drifk’is the cause of many of the ‘accidents ‘that ‘fill our fomes' with sorrow.’ Mr’ Spicer, the General Superintendent of the Grand Lruuk Railway.has just issued’ the tol- lowing address to the employées on the road :—

ce “* Save your money, benefit your fami- lies, ensure’ safe working, do’ not risk your own lives, or the public” safety, by tolerat- “ iy get into # muddled | or worse: condition

carelesaness, recklessness, accidents and

sire to prevent.”

The above advice .is timely and. pater- nak. Railway men, of all others, should be steady, sober, aod trustworthy. We look forwatd'to the time when the least appearance of dtunkenness in any calling wilt meet with -thé immediate dismi-sal of the inebriate ; aod, in.such responsible positions: as railways,| steamboats, and banks, the sooner the. time )comes the better for the men and the public.
