The Quebec Resolutions. _ ¢ | [ne resolutions of the delegates (so

called) whe went to Quebec, unauthorized

by either L ture or people, have been

published Th number twenty-four, |

and refer to many points, some important |

and some unimportant.

the delegates say, be administered

vincial laws should belong to the Lieutenant

Governor in Council for each Province.” But the Financial Question is evidently the gist of the whole

matter; and on this question the Delegates say —

That this Conference is of opinion that a basis fur # final aud unalterable settiement of amounts to be yearly paid by the Domin- several Provinces for their Local purposes and support of their Goveru- ments and Legislatures may be found in the proposal foliowing, that is to say :

(A.) Instead of the amounts now paid, the sums hereafier payable yearly by Canada to the several Provinces for the support of thei: Governments add legislatares tu be according to population aud as follows:

(B.) Lostead of an annual grant per head of population, now allowed, the annual payment nereafter to be at the same rate of eighty cents per head, but on the popuiation of each Pro. vince, as ascertained from time to time by the last decennial census, until such population exceeds 2,500,000; and atthe rate of sixty cents per bead for so much of said popalation as may exceed 2,500,000,

(C.) The populatiop as ascertained by the last decennial census, to govern except as to British Columbia and Manitoba; and as to these two Provinces, the population to be taken to be that. upon which, under the re- spective statutes in that behalf, the annual payments now mude tothem respectively by the Dominion are fixed, until the actual popu- lation is, by the censns, ascertained to be greater ; and thereafter the actual population, s) ascertained, to govern ;

(D) The amoants so to be paid and granted yearly by the Dominion tthe Provinces respectively to be declared by Imperial evactment to be final and absolute, and not within the power of the Federal Parliament to alter, add te or vary ; (6) That the following table shows the

Royalty Voters.

We are informed that the electors #ho reside in Charlottetown Royalty will be en- titled to vote at the coming Scott Act elec- tion in this city, and that provision will be made to enable them to do so.

When the Scott Act was first adopted in this city in the year 1879 the electors of the Royalty came in and their votes were re- ceived along with the other voters in this city; and again in the year 1884 the

votes of all who were desirous of voting were taken and counted. The electors in the Royalty having, on the two

vecasions, when the Act was adopted and continued voted, it sems nothing but fair that they should again vote; and for this purpose polls will be opened in both the East and West Royalty, and the votes of all Royalty electors taken. a

Editorial Notes.

— A rambler who writes for the St. John Sun concludes a racy letter about a visit to P. E. Island with the following remarks :—

‘*An abundant harvest has blessed the labors of the husbaudman; immense quanti- ties of agricultural produce are being exported daily ; signs of progress are seen on every baud ; and despite all that can be said to the contrary, few places eau show greater improve- ments in the last quarter of a century than Prince Edward Island.”

— Mr. Laurier, who is stumping in Haldimand, is reported to have declared himself as follows: ‘* Tory politicians have called me a rebel,” but *‘ rebel” *‘as I am, there is great difficulty in my mind, a difti- culty which I have not solved. It is that 1] am not quite sure commercial union would be consistant with the duty we owe to the Mother Country.”

empting to blind the eyes of a disceruing publie by bringing in a provision which will he ignored the very day the Act may suffer defeat. The sixty days read very well on the printed page, but this period, we con- tend, will be substantially a period of free liquor, or, as we have previously stated, *‘ a carnival of rum.” It is not so much what the Act says as to its continuance after the date of its repeal, but the sure and certain

use the men engaged in the liquor traitic | will not fail to make of the changed situa- | tion, should the petitioners for repeal prove | victorious on the 24th. This is one of the vital points to which all right thinking men are looking, and they are not mistaken in the conclusion to which they have come. And let us say to ‘*‘ Vindex ” that there are many individuals who have enjoyed splendid opportunities for acquiring a wide and thorough ac- guaintance with certain specified depart- ments of knowledge and yet with all their unusual facilities and all their stores of learning, have never been noted for their wisdom nor have ever said or done anything that the world cares to remember. The kingship of common sense is what some men ought to recognize more fully than they do, and a little more careful training in the rugged university of practi- cal every day life would save them from being misled by such bubbles as our anonymous critic indulges in, when he fain would have us believe, that everything will go on as usual after the 24th, should the Scott Actsuffer defeat. Perhaps ‘‘Vindex” wonders at our incredulity, but a little acquaintance with the actual situation com- pels us to our present position and we cannot help it.

The points raised by us in our letter ‘on ‘*The Carnival of Rum,” may appear to our critic absurd; nevertheless, we believe them to be true. If ‘* Vindex ” is still perplexed, we commend him tv his own charming little parable of the ‘‘ army” and ‘‘ locomotive, 5 and leave him to draw the quiet and innocent lessons it is caleulated to impart

Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court. This being Scott Act Day at the police court quite a number of defendants and spectators turned up. There were eleven cases for trial but no convictions were obtained. In five cases the man Nicholson was a witness, but he did not appear. After considerable discussion and argument the prosecutor decided to withdraw the cases, and they were dismissed by the Magistrate. The remaining six cases were adjourned at the request of the prosecutor.

Regarding Nicholson,for whose testimony the cases have been so continually adjourn- ed, it appeared to-day that subpoenas were served on him yesterday by the prosecutor, but Nicholson neglected to attend. It was objected that Henderson could, not serve subpeenas in his owncase. The Mag- istrate stated that when the subpoenas were issued he told Henderson to take an officer with him and serve them, and thus ayoid the Jegal question which had now arisen regarding the legality of the service, and if his orders had been obeyed by Henderson this doubt would not have been cast on the services. Notwithstanding this, however, .f the prosecution would shoulder the re- sponsibility he would issue warrants for Nicholson’s arrest. The cases were subse- quently dropped by the prosecution.

The Potato Trade.

Business is rushing at the Intercolonial freight depot, the usual fall trade being supplemented by a big movement of pota- toes towards the States. Shipments are coming from nearly every station along the Northern and St.John and Truro divi- sions, while the supply from Prince Ed- ward Island is beyond al! precedent. There are enough potatoes now lying at Point du Chene to fill one hundred cars. A_ special with eighteen box cars of potatoes and four car loads of eggs arrived yesterday morning, ana three specials per day is the average at present, and even this additional service does not sufliceto keep up with the de- mand. Two hundred snd fifty freight cars were handled at the St. John Station last week, and this week’s business will show an adyanee on these figures. The carrying capacity of the Intercolonial steamers and New Brunswick railway is taxed to its ut- most to bear away the volume of potatoes arriving in this city by the Jntercolonial. Some 250 of the [. C. R.’s box cars are now away to the west with this freight. The I. C. R. staff in the freight sheds and offices are among the hardest worked men in the city, and are beyond doubt the busiest of all the Intercolonial railway’s employes.— St. John Sun.

In Brief, And to the Point. | Dyspepsia is dreadful. — Disordered liver | Indigestion is a foe to good 1a- ture, ;

The human digestive apparatrs is one of the most complicated and won erful things in existence. It is easily put out of order.

Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, trreguiar habits, and many other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a nation of dyspeptics.

But Green’s August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy.
