THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, APRIL 1, 1897

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMLBY,

OPENING OF THE DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS.

Practical Speeches by Practical Far ners,

Wepxespay, March 31.

House met at 8.30 p. m.

Mr. Aitken, Chairman of the Committee appointed to prepare an Address in reply to the Lientenant-Governor’s Speech, re- ported the following Draft Address :—

To His Honor the Honorable George Wil- liam Howlan, Lieutevant-Governor of

Prince Kdward Island, &c., &c., Xe.

May it please Your Honor,—

We, Her Majesty’: dutiful and loyal enbjecte, the Legislative Assembly ot Prince Edward Island, thank Your Honor for the Speech with which vou have opened the present Session of the Legis- lature. We sball endeavor faithfully to discharge onr Legislative-duties,

We are geeply grateful to Divine Provi dence for having sparedthe life«f our beloved Sovereign, Her Most Gracions M.jesty Queen Victoria, to reiga so long over us. Weconsider the period of Her illustrious rule the brigntest in Imperial annals. Her loval sutjects 10 tnis Pro- vince will, we are sure.. cheertully and heartily unite inthe celebration of Her Mujesty’s Diamond Jubilee.

‘he Address congratulating Her Majesty upon this unprecedented event, to be =ub- mitted tous, will reccive our respectful and loyal consideration.

Although we regret that Her Majesty’s subj cts in India have been suffering from plague and famine, yet this is mingled with feelings of pride that our country has so nobly responded to the call for relief.

We unite in expression of our deep gratitude to Gud, the Giver of all Good, for the abundant harvest of the past year in our Province. It is very gratifying to note tke iucrease in our cheese and butter trade.

The Cold Storage question we will care- fully.consider, and will do our utmost to secure tiiat accommodation for our Pro- vince.

It is very encouraging to us to learn that the claims of this Province ov the Federal Government have been vigorously prose- cuted during recess, with the resnlt that willin the near future prove that our claims are well fouoded and cannot be successfully denied us.

It is gratifving to learn that your Gov- ernment ix cousidering the question of constructing more permanent public works, and that vour Government is about to co-operate with the Federal Govern- ment in-the anticipated conatruction of a Bridge across the Hillsborough River, thus convecting Charlottetown with the proposed Lelfa-t aud Murray Harbor Railway’. This is a work which has beeo long looked forward tu, end we hope the day is notefar distant when the railway and bridg- will be a reality.

R garding the importation of chemical fertilizers, it is in the interests of our farmers to secure such at the lowest pos— sible rate, and we shall consider it our duty to give all assistance in our power towards this ol ject.

There is no dvubt that the road machines are @ great improvement on the old system of road-making and the question of obtain- ing an wudditiooal number will be favorably considered.

We will be pleased to have the public accoun's for the past year. We will con- sid-r the estimates for the current year's expenditure, and with due regard to economy and the efficiency of the public service, will grant such sums as may be necessary.

Under the guidance of Divine Providence we bope that the labors of the session will tend to the prosperity and advantage cf this Province.

Mr. Aitken moved that this dress be taken into consideration with.

Hon. Mr. Gorlon drew attention to the fact that the motion was not in accordance with Parliamentary practice. Notice ought to be given before proceeding. He had po desire to delay the House, but he thought that courtesy, if nothing el<e, would induce the Leader of the Govern- ment to give the Opposition an opportunity to consider the Address which had just been submitted.

Hon. Mr. Peters said that the Govern- ment had no desire to take any advantage of the Opposition ; and be suggested that after the mover and seconder of the Address had opened the debate, it should be adjourned.

Hon. Mr. Campbell pointed out that the motion was not in proper form. It ought to be to “go into committee.’ He showed that a mistake had been made last year in this regard.

Hon. Mr. Peters suggested that the motion be amended; and after some further discussion, in whch Messrs, Shaw, Sin- clair and McDonald tock part—

Draft Ad- forth-

Mr. Aitke: moved that the house go into committee to consider the draft

address, and delivered a shortand prac- tical speech. After referring to the long and glorious reign of Qaven Victoria, the suffering and destitution which now pre- vails in India, and the handsome respouse made by the peopie of Prince Edward Island to the appea! for aid, he proceeded to discuss the questions of cold storage and the establishment of a Department of Agriculture. If these things are necessary in any Province they are necessary . here where our whole popu'ation are, directly or indirectly, dependent upon the pro- ducts of the farm. In this connection the proposed ac:ion of the Goverament in respect to chemcal fer iliz-rs was, he thonght, a step in the right direction. A competent man to analyze these fertil'z ersand to pct ct the farmers from fraud in other direct ons was al-o needed. Acres

of worthless trees have been planted in

this Province upon the false representa- tious of tree agents. The monev expended upon real machines has been a good in- vestment. As to the claims of thia Pro vinre upon Ottawa, all parties are agree] that they are good, and he was glad that the Goverument hed press«d them.

Mere. W me, in secoudipng tne addres, spoke of the ability of Her Must Gracious Maje-tv to rule her own household and to reign over her vastempra. Cunccrning the destitution in Ladia, he feared that the moneved meu there, as in thie Province, had gobbled up too mneh cf the property of the poor people. le contended tiat the Government ought to put in cold stor- age. Joint stock ce vpanies are at a dis- countiin this Prov jee,aud be doubted whether many farr ers would be induced

to take stock tn * cold storage company.

But neither Governments nor in- dividuals ou ht to promise what they can’t give. At present the

farmers have to buy fertilizers and they have to buy them tourungh the m'ddlemap. If the Government could afford avy a3si-t- ance ip this regard it would b? a good

thing. But their onght to be no broken promises as in the case of the ax Act. He copvsidered it shameful that some

farms pay six cents an acre tax while some vet oi! with one cent under the present tax system. future be more consideration of the in- (erests cf farmers and that it would not be as David eaid to Sameon, “My father whipped you with whips, but I will whip you with scorpions.”

Hon. Mr. Gordon, Leader of the Oppos’- tion, upon rising to nove the adjourument of the debate, complimented the mover and seconder upon the practical speeches they had delivered. Both were good practical and successful farmers and such men as he would like to sce more of in this House. He wes particularly struck with the seconder’s quotation from Holy Writ. He considered it more applicable than any- thing he bad ever read although he was not aware that the words had been uitered by cither Samson or David.

House adjourned.

BRAZIL “FANATICS.”

—- ee

Uxplasation of the Rising in’ the South American Republic,

The fanatics in the province of Bahia, Brazil, recently won a big victory over the Governmeat troops and captured their guns and ammunition. This spurred the Goyernment to renew efforts to suppress the rising, aud yesterduy’s despatches told of the preparations which Geueral Ovcar was making and the couster preparations of the rebels. who number some 15,000 men, wellarmed. Agaiust this force the Goverument has marshalled one somewhat similar in numbers. Of the uprising an exchange Says:

Braz | is the last country in the work in which one wonld expect anything like a repetition Of Mahdism. Its peuple are easy-going and indifterent. Their naiural disosition is to resent any a:tempt to call their comfortable dormant energies into action. Very few Braz lians even now are in actual sympathy with Antonio Consol- heirv, who has proclaimed himself a Mes- siah appointed to scourge a sinful peuple and bring them to repentance, His preach- ing of a strange doctrine and the example of the austerity of his own lite cause him to rally about him a considerable number of men, twelve of whom he has desiguated as aposties. His forces have increased rapidly, but for a time, as ihey committed no crimes and appeared to be animated only by the purpuse of making hfe one grand, sweet camp-meeting, the Brazilian Government paid little attention to them. Some months ago Consolheiro’s followers, “tbe fanatics” as they were called, began to yearn le=s for austerity and wore tor the thiogs of this world, They have armed themselves, proclaimed a holy war against all Gove'nments that did not recuguize their leader as the Messiah and seized several tuwns and villaves in the moun- tainous regions of the great Siate of Bahia.

This State, which is the second in Brazil in poizt of population, haviag something hke two million inhabitant, siretebes far inland from. the coast until it touches the wilderness, the va-t region which few white men have ever explored. Ii is on the border of the wilderness that Cossolheiro found the fields most fsvor- able to his zeal. Some months ago, when the fanatics took possession of a number of towns in Bahia aud proceed d to levy and collect taxes in the name of the Kinz ot kings, the Brazilian Goveroment thought the time had come for surpressing the Messiah movement, especally as pending the completion of arrangements for having their leader govern the whole world, his followers recommended tbat the exiled imperial family be brought back to Brez:l and invested with full powers.

Then a military force of considerable strength was sent intu the interior of the province of Bahia with orders to break up all the camps and haunts of the fanatics. Lhis was 1ore easily said than don-, for in the verv first encounter the “fanatics” thra-hed the Government forces,

New the Brazilian authorities realize that they have a serious task before them, and having recovered from the stunning effect of their first defeat,are now pouring troops into Bahia in an effort to crasb “the Messiah” by mere force of numbers. They suspect that he is supplied with funds by the ex: led imperial family, and they realize that the condition of the popular miod, especially with the laborers, inclines to @ change of Government. Since the fall of the empire ‘he republic has had a hard task before it to develop the country. says the exchange. It has come abead faster than its finances warranted, and after a period of bal!oon-like booming of all rail - road and banking enterprise has come a collapse.

The Government, according to latest advices, realize that the crushing Out this movement is no trifling affair.

SENATOR LANDRY SPEAKS AS ONE WHO KNOWS. The Ablegate Does Not Approve of the Greenway Laurier Agreement,

A despatch to the St. John Sup, from O.lawa stetes that Senator Landry, has He ovossed the Atlante with Mgr. Merry del Val, and con-equenuy Knows somcthing about tbe m 8s'un Of the papal delegate, He says that forty-five liberal senators and members of parliament, includiug five members of the goverument, petitioned bis holiness to send u delegate to Canada to assict iv the set le- ment of the school question, and it is in response to this request that Mgr. Merry de! Val bas been sent out. The mission of the abiegate had nothing whatever to do with the conduct of the bishops. It was the opinion in Rome and in Catholic cir- cles in Bogland that Laurier and his gov- ernment had denied to render justice 10 the minority ia Manitoba, and Mgr. Merry del Val’s mission was to assist in this, ‘There is a general impression in Europe that the petiuon contained a pledge to con form to a decision of Rome ou this ques- lion.

How isthe scliool settlement regarded at Rome? Senator Landry was asked.

It is not regarded as acceptable, Le se pled, as it is based on @ system CoD- demned by the holy father. It 18 for that reason that the pope wishes to tee the settlement conform more to the Catholic views On education. Continuing, he said the action of the bishops was heariily approved at tome. fhe test proof ot this was seen ir the fact that the Sacred Cor- gregation of the Propaganda have sent a letter to the bishops cungratulating them on their action. Le congregation had delegated the schoe question to the papal secretary of state, to deal fuliy in accurd with the Canadian bishops in refusing to accept the Laurier-Greenway settlement. This was the position of effaire. Tne authorities at Rome disapproved of the settlement and approved of the conduct of the bishops. Un the other hand, the Catholic senators and members, who bad nearly all given formal pledge before the election®, bad led the papal authorities to believe that a delegste would as-ist in the settlement of this question and that in default of an agreement acceptible to the Catholics they nad to fultil those pledges; moreover, (hey expressed themiscives as uot Opposed to the mandement.
