The Vaudreuil Election.

Tux action of the Liberal party in re- spect to the Manitoba School Question is characteristic of au “ Organized Hypo- erisy.” It will be remembered that the Tarte resolution, submitted to the House of Commons, was so cunningly worded as not to expose the policy of the Liberal party in respect to the question. But the Leader of that party went direct from the House of Commons into Vaudreail and won a seat from the Conservatives by contending that the Government ought to have inter- fered with the free action of Manitoba in reepect to its schools and maintsined sep- arate schools in that Province ! What do the supporters of Mr. L. H. Davie in Queen's County think of this action cD the part of the Leader of the Liberal party ! The Government has not, according to Mr. Luarier, been sufficiently vigorous and deci- sive in respect to the maintenance of the Separate School law of Manitobs. The Gov- ernmeat of Canada ought not, Mr. Laurier urges, to have waited for decisions of the Supreme Court and Privy Council de- fiuing the constitutional limits of its powers to disallow, or intervene to prevent the operation of the Manitoba School Law. The Government of Canada ought to have maintained separate schools in Manitoba, the majority of the people of Manitoba to the contrary motwithstanding! That is, Mr. Laurier’s contenticn, and that con- tention has, by the election of the Literal candidate been endorsed by the Frecch Vanadian Catholics of Vaudreuil.

The Leader of the Liberal party and the members of the Liberal party have un- doubtedly the right to adopt this policy. But when they win elections in Quebes on the ground that they are separate school men believing that the Government should interfere with Manitoba, while they pose es comm n school-men and coustitutionalists in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, aad Prince Edward Island, they are acting a double and despicable part.

The Acadian Misrepresented.

Tux Patriot, basing its remarks on an error in our translativa of the Moniteur Acadian’s figures as to the strength of the Acadians in the Tignish District, labors long aud fruitlessly to prove that the French organ has been guilty of ‘ the worst kind of misrepresentation.” The Patriot will attempt anything, no nmiastter how desperate, and make use of any sub- terfuge no matter how despicable. No one knows better than the Grit advocate the fairness and justice of the Monitor's re- marks, The Acadians make up, unmistake- ably, at l-ast one-helf the electorate of the Firat District. They are not represented in either Huse ot the Legislature. They have no share of the emolumsats or honors of office. They are simply used as a stool upon which designiug politicians mioint to high places. The Patriot's argument as to their representation at Ottawa is certainly ingenious. There is a large Acadia vote outside the First District,—in Egmont Bay, Fifteen Point, Miscouche and Sum- merside; and, therefore, it is absi.rd to say that Mr. Perry should satisfy the claisas of

the people of Tignish District in respect to parliamentary repre- sen’ ation. Both the local represent- atives are put down by the Gov-

ernment organ as Scotchmen; the one s representative Se tch Protestant, the other a Sevotch Roman Catholic. Ths Protes- ants number 3.657 souls, or about 600 vot- era; the French 6,000 souls, or 1,000 vot- era. The Scotch Catholic popu- lation is ” mere nothing in the total number of electors, and they and the Protestants are given a representative by the generous Patriot, while the Acadians are lectured because their mouth-piece, the Moniteur Acadien, would fain ask, in view of the ostracizstion they have suffered in the past, thac they look to themselves and by securing the representation they are en- titled to in the Division, effectually kill out the ungonerous system which to-day makes them a factor only in the elevation of de- signing politicians.

In showing how well all nationalities are served, the Patriot very cleverly omits men- tion of the Legislative Councillors, whom the Acadian vote elects also, and who are not, and never have been Acadisus. The ether points of the Moniteur, as to the ex- clusion of its people from office, ete., the Liberal organ has wisely passed over with- out even an attempt at figures.

“It is contemptible,” this stickler for political honor avers, “ to raise creed and race distinctions uniess some crying injustice ja disclosed.” Le. the editor read over again the quotation he makes from the Moniteur, and he will find that a grave in- justice has long been done the French Acadians of the First District. No greater injury can be done s people than to exclude them trom aproper representation in the pub- lic affairs of their country. This has been aod is being done, and while, as the Mouniteur asserts, the Acaiian people are used for the selfish purposes we have described, the same unfair conduct will be practiced towards them and their uplift and material progress delayed. The Moniteur preaches no race or creed doctrine ; it preaches fair play to all, and

principle of doing themselves tairplay. We shall be mistaken, tov, if the Patriot's reasoning will be acceptable to any sensible Acadian.

The demand that the Moniteur mind its own business at the very time it is en- gaged in its proper function of advising its readers, is certainly worthy of the grit | organ. The Patriot’sallusionto that journal's | course in the Kent election is equally out of | place. Every reader of the Moniteur knows that it opposed Mr. MclInerncy’s election tooth and nail and has ever been the counsellor of Acadian unity.

But the Patriot’s article is 4 series of errors. It is to be noted also that the Inspector alluded to does live m the First District, and at last election came within a few votes of representing it.

An Evening With Dickens.

WueEn it was announced that the ‘*Pick- wick Pspers” were to be represented, in character, upon a Charlottetown stage by a company of local amateurs most of whom possessed little or no experience of the histrionic art, we confess we had our misgivings. We feared our friends had undertaken a task somewhst beyond them. Had we reflected a littielonger, we might pos- sibly have remembered that when Mr.Percy Pope took in hand the production of an af- air of this kind auccees was assured. So at least it proved last evening at the Lyceum, where a large and fashionable audience by their frequent applause manifested their interest in the proceedings.

One of the difficulties of an entertain- ment of this kind is to procure a reader capable of giving effect by change of voice, etc, tothe dumb show of the characters. Mr. George Peake performed this duty with much satisfaction.

Astothe characters themselves, it is unuecessary and perhaps undesirable to draw comparisons. We mrt, however, specially commend Mrs Blanchard for her admirable impersonation of Mcs, Buardeil. Both her **‘get up” and her acting in this character, we consider, were well nigh faultless. In her representation of the ** Vidder,” her movement was equally good, but her make up was nut sufficiently elderly, we thought, for ‘ Tony's” am- isble partner.

Mrs. Brenton Longworth dressed and acted the “Old Lady” to perfection. Mies Frost and Miss Gertrude Davies acted with much taste and diserimination, but here again we think the ‘“‘make up” should have more effectually concealed the charins of youth and beauty. Of the male characters, Mr. Arthur Peake’s “Jingle” must be specially com. mended. It was a very spirited performance, and well adapted to the necessarily exagger- ated representation of that immortal characcer. We say ‘necessarily exaggerated,” because with the introduction of a comis song and dance, more psntomimic gesture was allowable than would have been the case in an ordinary play. ‘‘Stiggins” (Mr. W. H. Stewart) was well dreseed and bis dumb show ia the scene with Mrs. Weller was excellent. The ‘Fat Boy” (Mr. Sidney Hobkirk) did remarkably weil. His appearance was good and the ecene with the “Old Lady” in the

arden was very comic. The mike up of

ickwick himself was admirable, and Mr. Weeks’ representation of that immortal char- acter was very creditable. The love scene with Mrs. Bardell wae irresistably comic and was greatly relished by the audience. ‘Tony Veller” (Dr. Blanchard) dressed aud perform. ed his part with the taste and spirit of an ‘old hand,” and the get up of Mr, Bartlett in **Wink'e" could hardly have been better. A creditable performance wae that of Mr. H. J. Palmer as ‘‘Sam Weller,” though he is rather tall for the character.

Excellent music was provided during the in. tervals by the orchestra led by Mr. Jobo Richards, whom we must specially congratu- late and thank.

We understand that it was Mise Minnia Paimer who organized and brought about this entertainment. We heartily congratulate her and her abie stage manager, Mr. Percy Pope, on the result.

— Though the whole country is—accord- ing to the grit newspapers—going to ruin, the insurance business seems to be flour- ishing. At the annual meeting of the Canada Life, held a few days ago, the dir ectors were able to showa larger amount of new business than had ever been written in a single year by the company, and it was explained that the amount might have been increased, but the board did not consider it prudent or profitable to extend business involving extra hazards and increased expense. More than a mil- lion dollars of the insurance applied for was not carried out, yet the new policies written amounted to $6,201,011, bringing the total insurance carried by the Canada Life, close to sixty million dollars, an amount far in excess of that carried by any other Canadian company. The income for the year was $2,344,077, the addition to the assets $1,063,044, and the total of the assets at December 31, 1892, was $13,077,- 129.

Home Rute. DEBATE IN THE BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS ON TME IRISH BILL.

During the debate in the Commons on the second reading of the Home Rule Bill 01 the evening of the 10:h inst. Joseph Chamberlain quoted a speech of Mr. Par- nell, wherein the latter stated that no set- tlement would be acceptable that did not leave the power to the Irish parliament to protect Irish industries, and that another indispensable condition to a final settle- ment was an amnesty to the dynamiters which had been refused by the Govern- ment. Mr. Chawberisin «ls0 thought that : it would be asanguine man who would ex- ; pect Archbishop Walsh an other prelates} io accept a measure as fiscal which prohib- ited the establishment of the church and pissed over the land question. He aleo addressed himself to the financial aspect and said that if they were going to make Ireland independent, her’ claim for excep- tional consideration fell to the ground and Ireland ought to find out her fair contribu- tion Therefore, if one-twelfih were fair, one-twelfth ,was what she cught to psy, and he asked, **Was there any Irish mem- ber who would get up and say that the bill as proposed was final and satisfactory.”

Mr. Chamberlain went on to say that the task: that laid before the Irish parliament was avery difficultone. He had private information which showed that capital would leave the country if home rule were established, and he believe i that the taxa- tion would ultimately fall upon the emall landowners.

Justin McCarthy ridiculed Mr. Chamber- lain’s estimate of the number of the Pro testant minority ia Ireland, and said that the great fault found by Mr. Chamberlain with Mr. Gladstouve for bringing in the bill was that he wasin too great a hurry, but Mr, McCarthy contended that the feeling against union was growing in Iresand more and more every day. As to the bill itself, he could not say that there were not points for amendment. The Irish members were not satished with the financial clauses, but he and his friends accepted it as an honest attempt to settle She whcls nationalist ques tion.

Mr. Plunkett, who oppoeed the bill, ex- plained the views of the unionist minority of Ireland, especially thst portion of the minority outside the province of Ulster, and said that politicians, hitherto the firm- est and warmest supporters of Mr. Glad- stone, believed that Home Rule would pro- duce civil tumult and bluvdshed and _fin- ancial ruin, and bring havoc upon the material prosperity of Ireland. Mr. Pluan- kett continued to ssy that the purpose of the bill seemedto be to stamp out any possibility of a representation of a minor- ity of the Irish people. He added that the least suited for the union treated the exer cise of the proposed legislative powers, were poor people, with only a small upper class, who remembered the terrible days of the land league. What chance was there if the bill became law of a fiaal settlement of the Irish question with nothing to depend upon but the assurance of national- ist members, who looked toa Home Rule parliament asa training school for men who at no dittaat day would seek to make Ireland an independent nation.

William Redmond defended the bill, and said that what was wanted was not speech making, but a division in order to give eff-ct to the wishes of the nation. If the bil were not passed the Irish menbers would continue to come to this house and prevent the business of the country being done. There was no alternative to the bill, which was a wise and necessary measure, and Mr. Redmond was certain that the opposition to home rule on the part of Ulster would vanish when it was found that no injustice would be done by the Irish Parliament, and there would be no disturbance in Ulster, for the Irish Parliament would not interfere with any man’s religion. He concluded by saying that he scorned the very idea ef a religious persecution by the Catholics.

Sir E. Ashmead Bartlett said that the bill had only been seven weeks before the country, which was already disgusted with it. The last election was not fought on the question of home rule, and every effort hid been made to keep that question in the background. Sir Ashmead thought that there was no cause for the bill. It was the climax of the prime minister's career and a surrender to law-breaking and disorder.

Lord Randolph Churchill, speaking at Liverpool on the 7th inst., said that if the Home Rule biil, by some malice of the infernal powers, were to become a law, all the loyahsts of Ulster would fight against its operation, Was Mr Gledatone aware that an Irish parliament would mean civil war in Ireland, and did his hearers believe that in the event of such a war British troops would be allowed to shoot down the Protestants of Ulster? Ulster would be within her legal rights in resisting the enactments of an lrish parliament /

At the afterncon session comaiittee of |

supply was resumed.

Mr. Arsenault continued his criticism of | the management of the Public Works! Department, expressing his opinion that} the office was not conducted in the best | interests of the people, and contending that certain information concerning the public works, which had been asked for éarly in the session, should have been fur- nished long ago.

Mr. Shaw followed, exposing the Morell Bridge effair, the Scrimgeour right of way matter, and several other transactions that were not at al] creditable tothe Govern- ment or the Public Works Department. He showed how the friends of the Govern- ment had been favored in the moat shame- ful way, ard how unfairly persons who were not supporters of the Government were dealt with.

Mr. Sullivan said he could hearti'y en- dorse every word that had been said by the last speaker in reference to Morell Bridge. This bridge was in a deplorable condition. If there was no money psid for labor on it, as stated by the Commussioaer, it was very strange, as he had himselt seen the men at work trying to fix ic up. Mr. Ssllivan also referred to severai other bridges in connection with the buiding of which it waa very necessary some in‘ormation should be given.

The items carried, the chairman reported thirty three resolutions agreed to, and it was decided that the report of the com- mittee should be adopted to-morrow.

The gerrymander bil! was then read a second time and passed in committee. To the motion that the report of the committee be adopted, Mr. Bentley moved that it be adopted this day three months. He point- ed out that the bill had nut been asked for by the people; on the contrary the gerry- marder has been specitic:lly denounced by the pecp'e whom it most affects. But the Government with their little majority seem to =e determined to go on in spite of the people, whether their measure were right or wreng. The people are undoubtedly patient, quict and long suffering. But the Government will probably find cut when it ia too late that they have made a serious ris'ake in respect to this bill.

Mir. Underhay continued the debste, aod had the floer when the House rose at six o'clock.

The Bights of Women.

Sin, —Premier Peters seems to think that the cause of prohibition would be injured if women were allowed tovote. He also thinks that some other cause would be in. jured if men were to vote. If his govern. ment is in power much longer the people will have all their rights taken from them. We are led to believe that if women had the right to vote for men to represeut them Mr. Peters would svon have to step down. We hope that the women of this Province have a higher sense of justice than to uphold such tyranny as has been dis- played by the Peters Government. Why should not the women of this Island be allowed-tu have a voice in all questicns cons ducive to the welfare and upbuilding of its people? Have they not helped, by their labor and economy, to bring it from a howl- ing wilderness to its present state of fertility and prosperity? And now they want to have the privilege of helping to elect honest and economical men to guard aprd manage the public funds in a better way than they have been managed of late. The thanks of the women of this Province are due to such men at Messrs. Bentley, Shaw and Underhay for their advocacy of wornan’s rights,

Hoping that the time is not far distant when women of this Island will have the privilege of voting for such men to guard the interests of our country before it becomes hopelessly engulfed in debt, and believing that thisshould be the prayer of eve y loyal etzn, lem
