Judge McLeod replied briefly and feel- ingly, assuring the members that he would cherish their address and also the memory of the ties he had formed while associated with them. which — a Sale of Drugs. Peruars it is one of the results of the olium aftaching to the use of intoxicants, that the use of patent mixtures containing alcohol and narcotics, is on the increase. People partake secretly of that which they cannot partake of openly without being in disgrace. Some even deceive themselver, imagining that they are ‘* taking medicine,” when they are merely taking something to stimulate or soothe—alcohol or opium, served up in delusive forms, destructive of the nervous system. Dr. MeNeiil’s letter, published to-day, is an “eye-opener.” We question the advis- abililiry of carrying Leg sla‘ive action much further than Dr. Jenkins proposes to do, It caunot ba said that the consumption of patent medicines has become a crying pub- lic ew1l, auch as drunkenness; and the right of personal liberty to eat aud drink and take medicine or anything else which does not interfere with the public good, cannot be too strictly guarded. But we think that Dr. MecNeill’s suggestion that itinerent ven. dors of patent medicines be made to pay heavily for their privilege is one which might well be adopted. ODO Meetings in the Country. Ir we may judge by the Patriot's report, the Poters Party at the Donagh meeting mistook the majority against the Govern- ment for a majority for the Government. Some persons are apt to get ‘a little mixed” in times of excitement. The sec- retary's report, which we publish to-day, placea the matter beyond adoubt. If we ate not misinformed, the chairman of the meeting voted at the last election for Messrs. Peters and Cummiskey. In any case, he is not the man to decide agsinat the Government if the vote were in its favor. {t is perhaps, not wonderful, that in view of the result at Donagh, Mr. Peters did not revew his efforts at Fort Augustus. Mr. Peters was eonspicious by his absence from the meeting held last evening. This meetio? “as uoanimous in its expression of indignation against the Peters’ Govern- ment on account of the infamous Gerry- mander-Mortgage Vote Bill, sad the mais- management of public affairs. - Se ee— Persenal, Mire. Sarah B. Hicks has just died at Weat- bury, Long Island, in her 103rd year. The Pepe has contribated $10,000 to the ex. penses of the expedition for the relief of Cap tain Jacqne®, who is trying to suppress the slave trade in Africa. Livutenaot-iovern>r Chaplean has been ne threes months’ leave of absence to vieit turope for the bencfit of his health, His Henor Chief Justice Lacoste will be Admini«- trator of Quebec during Licutenant.Governor Cha pleeu's absence It is sbund a ly evident that Lord Randolph ChurcMll brings all his old vigor of language back with him into public life. In a recent letter he refers to ** the reckless and revol utienary factions of lish, Seotch and Welsh Radicaly who compose Mr Gladstone's ragged and disjointed majority.” Rut was it quite wise to hit all round in this way ? Mr. Frank Simp<on, a native ot Cavendish, but now of Big Timber, Montana, after an absence of eleven years arrived at his old home Saturday last looking hale and hearty. Mr. Simpson during bis absence has seen the most of the American and (‘anadian Northwest and also has spent | hree years in British Columbia, He speaks we'l of his adopted home, bat thinks P. E Island (ss well as allthe eastern Provinces of the Dominion) has made great advances during bis absence. He will visit with his friends «and relatives in Cavendish for a few weeks and then take in the World's Fair on bis way back to his adopted home. Fie Provincial Legislature. House of Assembly. SUMMARY OF PROCEEDINGS, Turspay, March 21. Mr. Clow submitted a bill incorporating the Murray Harbor North Dairying Com- pany, which was referred to the private bills committee. The ** Act regulating the dispensing and sale of opium and other drugs therein mentioned” was read # second time in committee, Mr. Underhay in the chair. After some time was spect in committee, and certain smendments to the bill were adopted, progress was reported. The Act incorporating the Mount Stewart Dairying Company was read 4 third time and passed, An Act to incorporate the Morel Dairy ing Company was read a second time in committee, Mr. Cummiskey ia the chair. The bi!l was reported agreed to without amendment. Amendment Act was read a third time and passed, House adjourned. House met at 8 45. The Spaker in the chair. Hon. Mr. Peters moved that a supply be granted to Her Majesty. Carried. Mr. Rogers resumed the debate on the bill reducing the cost of legislation. He pointed out that {proportionately « larger amount of interest had been paid last year than during the whole of the years the previous administrations were in power, quoting from the public accounts in proof, of his assertion. The debt of the Prov- ince to-day was larger than it had been for a long time—being over $200,000 —and he wanted to know how the Government were going to make both ends meet. The Lind Office as a source of revenue was sbout used up, and they had not the ghost of a chance of getting anything from (Ottawa They were about gving to the country aud were afraid to let the people know the true state of effsirs. Then, too, they were go- ing to build a $900,000 bridge across the Hullsberough for $450,000 This was a very likely story. He slso touched brie fly upon the conduct of the Government in taking the msnagement of elect‘ons out of the hands of the sheriffs and placing it in the hands of persons chosen by themselves— their own creatures—men who would turn the polling buoths iato bear gardena.! House then went into committee on the bill reducing the cost of legislation, Mr. Robertson in the chair. 12. Any person shall be eligible to be elect- ed as s member of the Assembly whois a male British subject of the age of tweny-one years or upwards. Mr. Bentley thought that as the pro- perty qualification of members of the House was taken away by the Bill, the Government should sct in a consistent manner and give every young man in the country—every British subject over twen- ty-one years—the right to vote without the property qualification. Mr. Feters said the objec of this clause was to give every young man who was 4 British subject and was upwards of twenty- one years of age—the right to sic in the House, provided, of course, that he was able to get amajority of votes. Mr. Rogers pointed out the innate Toryism and inconsistency of the Leader of the Government, in view of his conduct in curtailing the voting power of the young men. Mr. A. J. Macdonald thought the fran- chise should be extended and made more equitable, He was of opinion that the right to vote should also be extended to unmarried ladies owning property. Dr. Jenkins considered the clause under discussion a good and wise one and he would support it. Mr. Shaw thought the Government should be more consistent. They should not strip the franchise from the young men of the Province—the bone and sinew of the country—while they allowed the man who was to represent them in the Legislature to be selected without his having any pro- perty qualification. The Government should extend the franchise instead of withholding it from the gzeat masse of the people. The discuasion was continued by Messrs. Bentley, Shaw, Macdonald, Rogers and Bell and the clause passed. 29. Each of the above mentioned fifteen electoral districts shall be repreeented in the Assembly by two members, one of whom shall be styled a councillor and the other an assemblyman, Mr. Rogers thought that the members should be known by some more appro- priste names than assemblyman and coun- cillor; that the tendency would be to- wards class distinction. Mr. Bentley thought it was not right that there should be two titles for mem- bers—that one should be called sn aasem- blyman and the other a councillor. He thought this would be arrayiog clase against cless. He moved in amendment that the part of the clause providing for the dis- tinction in names of members be struck out of the bill. Mr. Shaw seconded the motion. He did not think the distinction was necessary It would array class iagainst class, and the results would be fatal to the best inter ests of the Province. Mr. Peters said the clause it was proposed to amend embodied the whole principle of the bill, and in moving the amendment the Opposition practically asked for the with- drawal of the measure Mr. Arsenault would much sooner see the bill lost than passed in its present shape. A few dollars might tesaved now but we would lose by it in the end. The proposed saving of 85000 would not sive the country from taxation, and he thought the people would not stand it. The amendment was then put and lost, and the clause aa it stood passed. Mr. Bentley moved that the whole of section 30, which provides that “one of said members for each of the electoral districts to be called a Councillor, shall be elected by votera who would be entitled to vote at the election of a member of the Legislative Council,” etc, be struck out as it was unnecessary. Mr. Peters said the amendment was not an amendment at all, and that it could not therefore be entertained. Mr. Bently pressed his mction, claimingg that it was right and in order and accordin to the practice of the House. The chairman declined to receive amendment, and the clause as read ; Mr. Bentley moved that section 31, which provides for the election of sa Asrembiyman for each district by all persons at present qurlified to vote for members of the House of Assembly, be amended by giving unmarried ladies owning property the right to vote. He thought this was only a measure of justice. The ladies in Charlottetown and Summerside have the right to vote in civic affairs and it works well. Mr. Shaw thought that all owners of taxable property should be given the privilege of voting, and chat anmerried women owning such property should have the right to vote. Mr. Rogers was also of opinion that unmar- ried ladies owning property should have the right to vote. He wanted to know why the Government members were sc silent on this important point. Hon. Mr. McLean expressed his surprise that the hon. member did not ask that the privilege of voting be extended to the married ladies as well as the sing'e ones. Mr Bentley was unable to see what objec- tion the Governmen: could have to extending the voting privilege to single women owning property; or to married ladies similarly quali- the The bill to amend the County Courts} tied Mr. Peters said the ladies were not asking for the right to vote. Mr. A. J. Macdonald thought that ladies owning property should have the same right to vote on their property as the men. The discussion was continued by Meera. H. C. Macdonald, Farquharson, Bentley, Rogers and others. The amendment was put and lost on 4 str-ight party vote; and the clause as read passed. House adjourned, Marcu 22, House met at 10.45. Speaker in the chair. The Act to incerporate the Gowan Brae Daisying Company was read a third tima and passed. The Act Incorporating the Kensington Dairying Association was also read a third time and passed. The House then went into committee of the whole to consider the bill incorporating the Red House Duirying Aasssociation, Mr. Sullivan in the ehair. The bill was reported agreed to without amendment. A bill to amend the Act to Iucorporate the Law Society was read a third tims and passed. Mr, Warburton submitted a bill to in corporate the Stanley Bridge Dairying Company. The bill to incorporate the Morell dairy- ing Company was read a third time and assed. The bill to incorporate the Belfast Dairy- ing Company was read a second time, and reported agreed to without amendment. The bill to incorporate the Head of St. Peters Bay Dairying Company was read a second time, committed, and reported agreed to without amendment. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sale of Opium and Other Drugs. Six,—I notice that Dr. Jenkins is mov- ing to place restrictions on the ssle of cer- tain drugs—opium, chloroform and chloral and other articles. This is 4 step in the right direction, only it should go so far as to place restrictions on all secret nostrams and patent medicines fur they contain alco- hol in large yusntities, and morphine. In Germany each maker of patents must fur- nish the Government with the formula for the patent he makes before it can be offer- ed for sale tu the public. Is is not time to restrict such companies and itinerants as we have had in this Island imposi.g on the poeple. The famous Kickapoo Indian Oil is composed of the following : Take Camphor, 4 oz, (Troy.) Oil of turpentine, | f. dram. Oil of peppermint, 4 flo. dram. Oil of winter green, 4 do do, Tincture of capsicum, $ oz, Alcohol sufficient to make | pint. Mix. The above, under the flashing name of Kickapoo Indian Oil, is very significant and euphonious to the ignorant, who imagine thai great skill and virtue is con- fined to Indian secrets, never thinking that a troupe of scoundrels, from Covnecticut of wooden nutmeg fame, is fl.ecing them of their money. The temperance people should know that the Massachusetts Poard of Health had fifty samples of pr p ietary preparations, tvnics and bitters, with special reference to the relation which the percentage of slcohol which they were found upon assay to contain, might bear to the sdmission to the presence of any or claims for the absence of all alcohol as given upon their labels and wrappers : 1, Dr. Buekland’s Scotch Oats Essence, New York City: 35 per cert of aicohol was found on ass.y, and one quarter of a grain of morphia to the ounce cf the so-called essence of oats A more insidiousand dangerous fraud can scarcely be imagined, especially when ad- ministered, as this is recommended, for the cure of inebriety or the opium habit. 2 Carter's Physical Extract, 22 per cent al cohol found 3 Hooker's Wigwam Tonic, 20,7 pe, do. 4 Hop Tonic, 7 p c, do.

The boldness and offensivenees of the advertising methods of the quacks are working au injury which demands more than ordinery notice from the people.

These com- panies plester every telegraph pole and other places with announcemenss of “Swift Cures for ‘Private Diseases,” and send circrlare ad- vertising cures for all hinds of chronic troubles. These things are a nuisance to the inteiligent community and a serious public harm to thoae un*ble to judge ot their merits and honesty. I think when the question is up before the Legislature they should enact that no itiner- ant company should travel through this Island and se!] any secret nostrums until they firet fyle in the Colonial Semetary's oftice a sworn copy of the formula, teae out « license before they do busiress, anc that no age or apcthecary could sell tim until the formula was registered with the Government aa afore- said. If police powers remain in the Legisla- ture, they have certainly a duty te perform in thie matter, If the peosgle find it hard tosub- mit to taxation in suppat of their own eoun- try, the Legislature as Watchmied must guard the interests of the ia this matter, I trust, Mr, Editor, you l gid thia movement in your columns, ; R.

Lengthy and able speeches were made by D. Ferguson, P. McCourt, Patrick Kough+n, Esq's., and others.

The Secretary answered that he did not propose to copsult any organization or associatiun of any kind whatever in making his appointments; that if they or their representatives had anything to say or any recommendations to make, they could fle them in writing, or they could state them as individusls. He proposed tuo treat all persons coming tv hun as American citizens individually. —_— —— Learn! Read! Mark!
