Tae Opposition renewed their pe- culiar ‘‘tactics” this forenoon. ~ Convine- ed, apparently, that the Government do not intend to sell the right of the Pre- vince, to continuous steam communica- tion with the Maioland, they now pro- fess to be alarmed lest an attack is in- tended to be made upon the capital at Ottaws, and their last resolution of want of confidence in the Government, was based on this assumption. It is needless to say that there are no better grounds for this last suspicion than for the first. In the Government's policy of economy and retrenchment, the peo- ple have the best guarantee that the amount held at O:tawa to the credit of the Province will remain intact. The people have trusted the Government in the past eight years; and the capital of the Province now held at Ottawa is en- larged—not lessened. We believe that Mr. McKay’s amendment to the amend- ment fairly represents the opinions of a very large majority in the Province. Iustead of the Oppositiou’s resolution of want of confidence in the Government, the House passed a resolution of confi- dence. That was good. Nova!Scotia Secession Resolutions. SECESSION resolutions have passed the Nova Scotia Legislature. We regret that the present majority—led iby Mr. Fielding,have in such a wavy compromis- ed themselves, and trust that the people of Nova Scotia, at the polls, will speedi- ly make them wish they hadn’t. That the fioancial relations of the Dominion with the several Provinces, are not now on a satisfactory footing may be admitted; but-the dignified course to pursue, in the premises is to demand the appoint- ment of an independent commis- sion to settle them on a _ just basis—not to go whining about seces- sion. That the Goveroment have in the past five years beeu making unfairly large expenditures in the Northwest, may also be admitted; but the bargain with British Columbia is now fulfilled— the C. P. R. is almost complete—and the Government will now be able to devote more attention to the require- ments of other parts of Canada—includ- ing those of Nova Scotia and P. E, Island. To complain that trade ig not “booming” in Nova Scotia is certainly _ foolish in = view of the profound depression existing in the Mother Country and the industrial distress of the States. How could Nova Scotia out of the Union improve her commercial position? The repealers of Nova Scotia have not answered this question. From every poist of view their actions appear tu be over-hasty and ridiculous. Editorial Notes. —A good Civic platform has been submitted by Councillor Crabbe. It is set forth in the reportofthe City Coun- cil meeting, held last evening. We hope it will be acted upon next year, if not this. —The New York Herald sneers ut the people of Canada as barbarians. The old Romans sneered in the same way ; but the “barbarians” over-ron them at the last. History sometimes repeats itself, —Let the people of P. E. Island bear in miod that Senetor Haythorne, acting no doubt under the advice of his party associates, tried his best to kill the bill brought ia by Senenator Howlan in con- nection with the subway scheme; that he moved the three months’ hoist and would have thus defeated the bill only that the Conservative Senators voted with Senator Howlan, while the Grit Senators voted against him. It is quite easy to see who are the friends of P. E. Island, and who are not. Our people surely koow their friends by this time. —lin the last issue of The Capital, published at Fredericton, there is an ex- cellent editorial in which the case of the Island respecting continuous steam com- musication with the maioland is fairly set forth aud the remarks cf Earl Gran- ville favorably criticised. In conclusion, The Capital says: — “An important work like this a poousees — would benefit the Maritime Provinces a3 a whole, and our representatives, of whatever political basis, should unite in pressing our claims on the notice of the Government. Ifii can shown that continuous railway communication can be made throughout all parts of the Dominion without entailing too great a burden on the exchequer, then such a work as this should be undertaken not only from ultilitarian but also from national considerations. It is pleasing to seo that the Press on the mainiand is taking this reasonable view of the matter, The politicians and people will no doubt follow in due course. —We are not quiteclear as to the use of the proposed * drive-way” in Victoria Park. But if it is intended for the training of trotters, the public will most decidedly object. The Park is no more a place for fast driving than the public streets; aod if a special attrac- tion for horse jockeys and those who follow ion their train {be established there, it is peedless to say that respect- able women and children cannot make it & place of resort. Horsemen might, we thiok, get some more suitable ground on Which to treia their “ fyers,” than on a Park devoted to the use of the geueral public. Awailiog an explanation we hope the Council the interests of the public in this matter. —Cur friends, the evemy, pretend to quite jubilant oVer the result stata sere eenaeeeeserantinennare will not failto guard | A A i i" poe penser 5 f . ss - i. THER DAILY EXAMINER, MAY it of the New’ Brunswick Local Elections. But the great victory claimed turns out to be something that looks more like a Grit defeat, for out of forty- one members elected, twenty-four pro- fess to be Liberal Conservatives. he Blair Government professes to be non- partizan, and is, therefore, largely sup- ported by Dominion Liberal Conserva- tives. The following profess to be Liberal Conservatives in Dominion poli- ties, viz.: Killam, Humphrey, Black avd Hancington from Westmoreland ; Turner and Lewis, from Albert; Pugs- ley, Taylor and White, from King’s; Adams, Park, Hutchinson, Tweedie, Lo Blanc, Young, Wheton, Theriault, La- billois, Baird, Mitchell, Ryan, Ketchum, Atkins and Russel. —The Bill respecting Experimental Farms Stations — introduced by tho Mioister of Agriculture, provides that the Government in Council may, for the purpose of establishing such farm sta- tions, acquire by purchase, an extent of land, not exceeding five hundred acres, in the vicinity of the seat of Govern- ment, for the central farm station, and auexteot of land, not exceeding three bandred acres, in either of the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or Prince Elward Island, and a like extent of land in the Province of British Columbia, for the farm stations ; and the Governor in Council may, for the like purpose, set apart in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories of Canada, such tracts of unoccupied available public lands, which are the property of Canade, as are necessaryjfor the farm stations thirdly and fourthly mentioned in the next preceding section; but the tract of public land so set apart shall not, in each case, exceed one section. The manner in which the farms are to be conducted and the ends for which they are to be established, have already been stated in Tue Examiner. —A correspondent writes: — “The Government are going to establish a central experimental farm in the vicinity of Ottawa, with branches at other points, one to be in the Lower Provinces, in some central place to suit the three Provinces. The Bill has passed its second reading. No better place than your bright little Island can be found for the Maritime farm. - * * Your Grit M. P., for Queens, Mr. Davies, has lately been rooting into what ‘is called the loch-Arran Scandal,’ in whichit is alleged Mr. Schrieber gave free passes on the Intercolonial to the Inch-Arran Hotel. After the Committee adjourned, one of the Grits was heard to exclaim: ‘1 think Davies has struck a dry hole, instead of striking ile us he expected.’ Davies has done himself serious injury, by his quibbling and meddlesomeness. He showed the par- tisian to the fullest possible extent. It has been the custom, it appears, for the past ten years or more, not oaly on the . C. R., but also on other roads to give tickets for the time being to servants going to the several sea-side hotels io the Lower Provinces, and at the end of the season, the hotel owners paid for the tickets. Grits thought they had struck a bonanza, but it has turned out a com- plete fizzle. A dismissed official —dis- missed for insobriety—was at the bottom of it, and Davies, acting as Conductor General of the charges, was at the bottom of it too. Results nil. + * * The House is not likely to rise before 1st June, if then. Cricketting on the lawn, in front of the Parliament Buildings, is now under full swing.” The Greek Situation. The Tribune’s London cable says : The key to the Greek difficulties is neither in London nor in Athens, but Livadia. Grave as events are the chief peril lies in the possi- bility of Russian duplicity. Greece in the presence of concerted action on the part of England, Germany, Austria, Italy and Russia must submit. France does not mat- ter. She has no interest in provoking war and could not help Greece. The momen- tary hesitation of European powers and the presentation of a fresh collective note is supposed to be due to this doubt about Russia, but the powers have taken the final step. The ministers, the French excepted, have left Athens. Russian charge d’affairs remains like the others. It is hoped that the Russian minister will arrive at Athens only to quit it. The instructions given to enforce the blockade must soon bring the Greek Premier to his knees unless Russia not only encourages but supports him. The belief here still is that Alexander wishes peace and cannot in any event break with Germany. Prince Bismarck and Lord Rosebery are in hearty accord. Another correspondent cables: A new and great danger is looming before us in the attitude of Greece, which takes our overnment completely by surprise. Mr. ladstov,e ‘who pays little attention to foreign affairs never doubted that Greece would yield to the remonstrances of powers and meekly cave in. Now there is good reason for suspecting that Russia has been playing a deep game in pursuance of her old policy against Turkey and feels con- fident that Gladstone will not fight, that France wili remain neutral, and that Ger- many will stand aloof. Why not let Greece go at Turkey, giving her support to make an end of the sick man? This is the growing conviction to-day in well-informed circles. All depends on Bismarck’s attitude. If he makes no sign Greece will play out her game and Glad- stone will be obliged to it once more that he has muddled our foreign affairs. Attempts will be made to throw the blame on Lord Rosebery, which will be manifestly unjust, as he has done all he could to keep Greece straight.

Svurnitivan moved that the House go into Committee of Supply. Mr. Yeo moved in amendment the fol- lowing resolution :— Resolved, Thatin the opinion of this House the Government of this Province should not, without first obtaining the consent of this House by reso lution®, therefor, apply to or accept trom the Federal Government any part of the balance standing to the credit of the debt account of the Province, in the public accounts of the Dominion of Canada, excepiing any part of the amount available for the payment of pre rietary lands, should any be purchased by the Government of the Province, Mr. S1Nciarr seconded the resolution. Hon. Mn. Sururvan pointed out that the resolution was insulting, not only to the Government, but to the House, that it would prevent the Government from re- alizing in claims for railway damages, as well as other legitimate claims which the Government have upon the Dominion Gov- ernment. Mr. J. R. McLean, Hon. Mr. Ferguson, Mr. D. Farquharson, Hon. Neil McLeod, and Mr. Perry, continued the discussion. Mr. McKay moved the following amend- ment to the amendment :— That all after the first word ‘‘ That” be struck ont, and the following be substituted in lieu thereof :—- “It is resolved that this House has confidence inthe administration of aftairs by the present Government and is satisfied that the ministers will continue to collect from the Dominion the amount claimed by this Province. “Anditis further resolved that this House do now resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House for the further consideration of a supply granted to Her Majesty.” The amendment was seconded by Dr. Gillis and carried—14 to 12. — The City Council.

Councillor Horne asked for information concerning the Waterworks contract, and suggested that the contract be read. The Mayor said the request could not be of the Recorder who was absent. Councillor Crabbe moved and Councillor Curtis seconded the following resolution : — Resolved, That His Worship the Mayor is here- by authorised to issue new debentures for the payment of any debentures failing due, said new debentures to be issued at par for twenty years, and bearing interest not exceeding 4 per cent. per annum, Carried. A petition was read from some of the residents of Corbet Street asking that said street be cuntinued through to Haviland street. The matter was referred to the Street Commi'tee. ; Councillor Crabbe moved that a special meeting for the consideration of bye-laws relating to personal property, income, and real estate assessment, and for the trans- action of general business be held on the evening of the 14th inst. Carried.
