HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.

Monvay, May 9.

Hon. Mr. Suuiivan submitted a Bill re- specting indigent debtors. He explained that it would operate conjointly with the Act abolishing Imprisonment for Debt, and was intended to provide for cases of frand on the part of debtors and creditors.

lead a first time and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.

Hon. Mr, SutstvaNn presented the Pub- lic Accounts for the year 1878, as prepared by the Provincial Auditor.

Hon. Mr. Svtxtvan also submitted a, statement showing the expenditure for

1878.

Ordered that both documents be referred

te the Committee on Public Acccunts. ‘‘pUBLIC ENQUIRES’ ACT.”

Hon. Mr. Sutiivan moved for the sec- ond reading of the Bill, entituled *‘ The Public Enquires’ Act.”

Hon. Mr. Scixivan explained the nature of the Bill. He said it was for the purpose of giving the Governor in Council power to issue a Commission of one, two, three or more persons, at any time, toenquire into the working of public departments. It empowers the Commission to summon before them the officers of the various de- partments with their books, to examine them on oath regarding the manner in which the business of their offices is carried on ete., and how the public funds are spent therein.

Mr. Yeo said he could see no harm that would come from the passing of this Bill. The power which it gave was enforced by former Governments. .

Hon. Mr. Sutiivan .explained that Com- missions were heretofere appointed for similar purposes ; but they had no power to administer oaths. The Bill before the House empowered them to do so.

Mr. Farevcuarson said the Bill had two objects, and the most particular one was to benefit the friends of the Government. A commission is always formed of the friends of the Government. It cost a certain amount, which always went into the friends’ pockets.

Mr. Ricwarps agreed with the Bill. It was similar te a Bill on the Ontario Statute Book, and he could see no harm to come from it.

The Bill was then read, agreed to in committee, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.

House adjourned.

—_— eee Government Life Insurance Measure.

The

Tue following is the Government insur- ance measure in epitome--as submitted by

Mr. Tilley :—-

“That it is expedient to give the same security and encouragement to persons who may desire by insurance on their lives or by endowment or annuities to make provision for those dependent on them, or for them- selves in cases of old age or infirmity, which has been made by law for the safe deposit of the surplus earnings of the people, by placing them with the Government at a fair rate of interest; and for that purpose te — that the Minister of Finance shall

ave power to enter into contracts with any persons for insurance on a life or lives, for the granting of endowments and annuities, and generally into any contracts whatever dependent on the contingencies of human life.

‘‘ That for the purpose aforesaid it is ex- pedient to empower the Minister of Finance, with the concurrence of the Treasury Board, to make regulations which, being approved by the Governor in Council, shall have the force of law ; subject always to be laid before Parliament and to be revoked or cancelled on address of both Houses, saving rights acquired by contracts made under them ; and that such regulations may ex- tend to all provisions necessary for fully carrying out the purposes aforesaid.

‘‘ That it is expedient to provide that the Minister of Finance shall keep an account of all receipts and payments, interest being allowed thereon on all items at the rate of 44 per cent. per annum, and the balance shall be carried forward from year to year and shall constitute the insurance fund which shall appear in the balance sheet of the Dominion prefixed to the public accounts annually laid before Parliament. And that he shall also cause a valuation to be made froin time to time ef the liability under contracts, and that if it appears that there is a net surplus of the insurance fund over the all liabilities, an amount not ex- ceeding four-fifths of the surplus may be ap- propriated to the benefit of such ‘ividers of contracts as may be entitled thereto by the terms of theircontracts. The amount to be so appropriated to be determined | order of the Governor in Council, and the manner of its its application to be prescribed by regulation made as aforesaid.” :

The measure has been withdrawn till next session, and people will, therefore, have time to think about it.

The Provincial Accounts.

Tue Public Accounts, submitted to the Legislature last evening, contain much that is worthy of note. We shall not, however, encumber the following succinct and clear statement by any details ; and we need only remark that it much more than bears

out the statements made by Tue Ex-

AMINER previous to the election. The ex-

cess of expenditure over revenue within the past year was actually $73,864 60!

Such is ‘‘economy” under the Ad-

Fish and Game.

We would call attention to the advertise- ment in another column, relating to the es- tablishment in our Province of a ‘“‘ Fish and Game Protection Society.” We believe nearly every Province of the Deminion has an active Society or Club ef this kind. Certainly it is needed here. If we were to walk through the market on a market day, we weuld see black ducks selling in open violation of the law, which forbids them be- ing shot or exposed for sale after the first of April. Partridges also are sold after the time fixed by law. Everyone is aware how the ‘‘ pot hunters ” infest the marshes weeks before the law allows; and we have heard of indifferent shots shooting the old ducks in their nests. Bad as this may ap- pear, we think it is no more than shooting them now ; for this is the pairing season. Our rivers no longer abound with trout. It is an exception now to get a good catch. Why? Because some rascally poachers have depopulated them with their drag- nets. We have had this evil long enough. Now we want the remedy.

We have some baliffsappointed, it is true; but often these fellows are hand ard glove with the peachers. The formation of a So- ciety, such as we have spoken of, is the only remedy. It will be their duty to as- sist the baliffs (the honest ones) and see that the offenders are brought to justice. We would advise all lovers of field sports to | attend this meeting; for, by preserving our fish and game, we increase the resources | of our Island.

Cricket.

We are glad to see that the Marquis of | Lorne has taken an interest in this noble game. His Excellency will give it an im- petus all through Canada, and the Char- lottetown Cricket Club ought, most cer-| tainly, to avail themselves of his visit to Halifax this summer to have a return match with the Garrison Club. There is no doubt that cricket has been steadily im- proving in Charlottetown, and matches with first-class clubs, like the one last sum- | mer, will do more good than all the practice ' matches we have ever had. We are pleased to learn that his Honor Judge Young has kindly consented to become Patron of the Club, and has expressed his intention of assisting it by every means in his power, | pecuniarly and otherwise, and from his| well known liberality, we have no reason to | doubt his word. We therefore, hope, fo a prosperous season for cricket in Charlotte- | town.

Ottawa and Foreign News, Orrawa, May 3.

A series of amendments have been pre- pared, which it is proposed to submit to Mr. Bechard’s insolvent repeal bill. They provide for the distribution of the effects of an insolvent; for his examination before the judge relative to his affairs, and for: the

prevention of fraudulent contracts, ete. The French Conservatives met In caucus

_|this morning and, it is said, discussed the

policy to be pursued in regard to Mr. Moussean’s constitutional motion, which will probably be reached on Monday. It is not likely that the motion will be pro. ceeded with.

Mr. Rochester intends applying for ¢ Royal commission to investigate the work- ing of the mercantile agencies.

‘The Canada Gazette to-day contains little of interest. An extradition treaty with the Swiss Confederation is published. The crimes for which the extradition is to be granted are: Murder, manslaughter, coun- terfeiting, forgery, embezzlement or lar- ceny, obtaining money or goods by false pretences, crimes against the bankruptcy law, fraud committed by a bailee, banker, agent, factor or director, or member, or public officer of any company (made criminal by any law for the time being) rape, abduc- tion of minors, child stealing and kid- napping, false imprisonment, burglary, or or housebreaking with criminal intent, arson, robbery with violence, threats by letter or otherwise with intent to extort money.

The order prohibiting the importation of American cattle into the Dominion is ex- tended to the sixth of June.

Dusty, May 4.

A serious riot has prevailed in Cork the last two days, arising out of a difference between rival bands. Several houses were wrecked on Saturday. The disturbance was renewed to-day and the rioters were dispersed by the police.

New York, May 3.

The Panama Stav of the 24th has been received. The reeent revolution there be- yan on the afternoon of April 15th, when the captain of the State troops attacked Colonel Carvajal for reproving the. former on account of inciting trouble. Carvajal and his son were killed, with two lieuten-

-

$73,864 60) ants, a corporal and a private.

Capt. Abaldia, who led the insurrection, was also shot dead by a son of Carvajal. Several soldiers who joined in the fray were killed and and wounded. After two days skirmishing between the State and National troops, on the morning of the 18th the State troops made a charge on the po-

sition of the National troops and after a

sharp fight the latter surrended uncondi- tionally. They were marched out, leaving behind their arms and ammunition. They probably will be held prisoners for a brief

-period. Some 35 people were killed and

more wounded. Dusuin, May 4.

Dr. Butt is not expected to survive to- night. He is unconscious, andj inflamms- tion has attacked the brain.

There has been a serious riot in Cork the last two days, arising out of a difference between rival bands. Several houses were wrecked on Saturday. The disturbances were renewed to-day (Sunday), and the rioters were dispersed by the police.

Boston, May 4.

The Dwyer-Elliott prize fight for $2,000 a side is to be fought in Canada on Thurs- day morning. The parties leave here for Buffalo on Tuesday. |

Lonvon, May 4.

The caution money has been deposited in the rowing match of E}liott against an unknown, which is to take place June 16th. The Unknown. is to be named after Mon- day’s race. Betting on Friday was level between Elliott and the Unknown, but it is by no means certain that the race will Le rowed as now contemplated, that is, between Elliott and the winner of to-morrow’s race.

It may be remembered that the Tyne championship cup,which was donated by the Sportsman newspaper, has been won twice by Elliott. If he wins it a third time the cup becomes his property.

At the meeting which will be held on Monday night to arrange the terms for the championship match, the proprietors of the Sportsman and the trustees of ‘the cup will probably insist that Elliott shall row the best man offering, before he can avquire the cup, whether Hanlon or Hawdon wins. There is a strong opinion among experts that Wallace Ross is really the best man, andfhe will be put forward to row the winner of Monday’s race and will be heavily backed by Englishmen. Until his claims are disposed of, the championship is likely to remain in abeyance.

Why Will You

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. Itis Dr. Boschee’s famous German prescription, and is prez 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. Ask your drugyist as to the truth of these remarks. Large size 75 cents. Try it and be convinced.
