LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
THE EXAMINER'S SUMMARY REPORT.
Tvespay, April 29. Hon. Mr. McKenzie, on resuming, said:
Government, so that they were the originators of the measure. He (Mr. McKenzie) had given Mr. Davies an independent support; and, during the recess, although demagogues had roused the people and tried te make them be-
The Govern-
the House. It had not been his intention to contest the district ; but he was challenged to it by the Opposition, and they ransacked the ccuatry inorder to get a man sufficiently strong to oust him. When they found they could not get an Opposition man to do it, they in vzigled one of the friends of the Government. There was not a more popular man in the dis- trict than W. S. McNeill and he was in favor of abolishing the Council.
Mr. BotGer said that W. 8S. McNeill, Esq., was an officer of the late Government, and probably that had something to do with his defeat.
Mr. McKenzi& replied that very few of the people were aware that Mr. McNeill held an office under the late Government. He (Mr. McKenzie) had published his ecard in nearly all the papers, and had also sent a printed state- ment of his views to nearly every elector in the district wuose vote was recorded. Many of his constituents were in favor of leaving the Legislative Council intact. He had favored an amalgamation of the two branches of the Legislature. He favored retrenchment, but blamed the Conservative Party for passing the Civil Service Act. When Mr. Davies came into power, his main object was to give the country a good non-sectarian School Law, which he carried out. That school system stood on two pillars, and, if the present Gov- ernment took away those, they would be crushed as Samson was when he pulled the pulars from beneath the Temple. ‘Those two pillars were the suppleientary clause and the Assessment Act.
Mr. Boicsr asked if the present School Act required any amendment ?
Mr. McKenst£ replied that was possible. Some amendments might be required, but if the main pillars were destroyed, it would tumble down. The principle of the Assess- ment Act were satisfactory to the people; but they complained that retrenchment was not made, and they objected to the way in which the Act was carried out. Some demagogues advocated trebling the old land tax, rather than have the valulaters going round; but such a system would be a curse to the country. Under the present system many poor men paid only fifty cents toa dollar tax. We should maintain and improve our school system, and leg the young people of this Island be fortified with a good education. If the teachers’ sup- plements were taken away their whole salaries would have to be paid cu: of the treasury, and the money would have to be got from the tax. payers by some means. So far as he had travelled the roads they were in very yood condition, and the bridges were never in a hetter state than at present, and the people would not wish to go back to the old Statute Labor system.. He tavored the taxing of mort- gages. People throughout the Island were bart- ering away their liberties to sharks of law- yers. Gueof the promises of the present party was to tax the towns, and let them now carry that out. Regarding the abgiition of imprisonment for Debt, he had spoken strong- ly last year. He then said that the Gov- ernment would ha:e to pay for a_post- mortem examination of some of those incarcerated. in our jail, and his word at that time had been _ prophetic, for within a week a prisoner committed suicide. The rights of the creditor would have to be secured. He did not understand what the Lien Law was to be—he thought it was got up by some aspirant to office in Charlottetown. He agreed with the last paragraph, that we should invoke the Divine guidance. He could not see the necessity for putting in the word ‘* peace,” as we had no war here; but. if the Government were not careful, there would be war before their reign of terror was over.
Mr. McMriian received leave «f absence until Thursday next.
House adjourned until 11 o'clock to-morrow. se. --— —

ARREST OF SUSPECTED PERSONS.
A St. Petersburg correspondent says the police are openly arresting people by batches at all hours of the day, whereas apprehen- sions were hitherto made at night. On the slightest susicion against a person, a whole
NO. 583,
English Objections Met.
Tux Toronto Mail’s London telegraphic correspondent reports that a despatch from the Marquis of Lorne is published in Eng- land, in which he justifies the Dominion protective tariff, on the ground that the action of the United States is invariably hostile to Canada on all matters relating to taritls, and that mannfacturers in the United States can disorganize and destroy any special Canadian industry by combin- ing to flood the Canadian market with sim- ilar products so'd below their actual value. The absence of duty thus has the same effect as that produced by a Government bounty. It is also said that the Canadian Minister of Finance appends a memoran- dum, showing that if the tariff materially alters the volume of trade with Great Britain, it must be on the side of an in- crease, and that in several branches this result will certainly follow.

Sugar Refining.
The Halifax Reporter, of the 30th ult,, speaking of a sugar refinery at St. John, says: ‘*We don’t see anything wrong in St. John trying to get a sugar refinery erected there, to the detriment of Halifax. If Halifax chooses to go to sleep, and St. John chooses to keep awake, why,the old proverb is, “Heaven helps those who help them- selves,’ and it’s the fault of those who won’t help themselves if they get no help from anybody else. - Throughout the Dominion people are talking of the advantages pes- sessed by Halifax, but the citizens of Hali- fax, oitside of Mr. Dnustan’s efforts, are doing actnally nothing to help on the sugar refinery, and a certain clique are not only doing nothing to help it on, but are doing ali they can to prevent it. Short-sighted as they ever were, they forget that while they were fighting against Mr. Dustan, they were actually fighting Halifax, and giving St. John an opportunity to step in and get the refirery. Apparently, Mr. Dustan, thoroughly disgusted, has ceased to agitate the matter any further, possibly being per- suaded that the unanimity of feeling in St. John will make that the safer spot fora refinery than Halifax.”
Ee
triking Originality in Legislation.
The Ottawa editor of the Toronto Mail writes: ‘‘It is noticeable this session that there is a tendency in the Commous to en- tertain legislative propositions of a striki and “thorough” character. For severa sessions the Honse has refused to inter- fere but slightly with the insolvency law. But this session opinion has become pre- cipitated, and at this moment, while the debate on the insolvency Jaw is going on, it
is still a coubtful matter if the insolvent.
law be not repealed without reservation, and even the bill of the Committee thrown ont. But one still gives the balance of probabilities to the acceptance of the bill which will be — settled in an hour or two hence, on a division protably. Again, Mr. Wallace’s currency resolutions, if not in their integrity, at least in some form approaching thereto, have ob- tained a very striking hold upon the mind of the House, and many members enter- tain the idea of a national currency with no less earnestness thau Mr. Wallace. Again on the question of the Supreme Court, there is a very strong feeling in favor of getting rid of it. A vote on the subject would re- veal a very curious state of feeling concern- ing a court which has been in operation se short atime. Again, the question of the propriety of limiting the rate of interest was agitated yesterday, and in spite of the fact that both the Government and the
leader of the Opposition combined to ask for its withdrawal, the withdrawal was refused, and on
a division the bill was only defeated by 29, parties voting witheut regard to party lines. Of course a good deal of vriginality might have been expected in a new Parlia- ment, but one would have thought that the nitional policy would have obtained the attention of members to the exclusion of other matters. The fact that the national policy did not so completely absorb the mind of Parliament shows that Mr. Tilley’s tariff was, as a whole, so satisfactory to the House that members accepted it without questien to any extent. And it shows, too, that members’ minds were not in a state of chaos on that grave question, but were

Allow a cold to advance in your system and thus encourage more serious maladies such as Pneumonia, Hemorrhages and Lung troubles, when an immediate relief can be so readily attained. Boschee’s German Syrup has gained the largest sale in the world for the cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung Diseases. It is Dr. Boschee’s famous German prescription, and is pre pared with the greatest care, and no fear need be entertained in administering it to the youngest child, as per directions. The sale of this medicine is unprecedented. Since first introduced there has been a con- stant increasing demand and without a single report of a failure to do its work in any case.
