A more disloyal and unpatriotic | act was never perpetrated by the majority in any Legislature. We must either char- itably, conclude that they were all so stupid that they did not see the position in which the voting down’of Mr. McLeod’s resolution would place them, or else that they, all, without exception, would rather have Un- restricted Reciprocity than continue to en- joy the true freedom assured under British institutions even though accompanied vy the freest trade with the United States that may be consistent with our relationship to Great Britain.

The song recital by Miss Louise Laine, in the Lyceum Hall last night was a delightful treat to all who had the good fortune to hear it. The lady possesses a fine, rich voice of wonderful power, and it was surprising how clear and vigorous the tone continued to be up to the end of the twen- tieth song.

The bill was attacked in the Lower House by the Hon. Mr. Gor- don and others, ation or pastime. Mr. Gordon directed at- tention t» the results which have followed the Sabbatarian laws of the Puritans, and took the ground that the laws now on statute book are sufficient. He argued that when pressure is brought by law upon a free people, in respect to such matters as the observance of the Lord’s Day, the re- verse of the desire of the promoters of the law is invariably and inevitably the result. His criticism of the bill was full of that wide charity and wisdom which marks the broad-minded, cultured Christian gentle- Man. the Hon. Mr, Farquharson brought up the Unrestricted Reciprocity fad, and got into a bad tix, dragging every member of the patty after him. The leader of the Oppos ‘tion moved the following in amendment of Mr. Farquharson’s resolution : * Representing a proviace whose chief in- dustry is and varied collection of beautiful gems by such classical composers as Mozart, Gounod, Verdi, Schubert, Bishop, and the quaintly beautiful old English songs of the seven- teenth century, and the rendition of each one being so charming, that no trace of monotony was at all apparent, and we think that Charlottetown may congratulate the sister city of Halifax on the possession of such a cultivated singer as Miss Laine. The gem of the evening, we think, was, ‘\ Tell Me My Heart,” by the old English composer, Bishop, whose place among the great musicians of the world is now becom- ing permamently established, although he was allowed by his contemporaries to die like a starved doginan Elinburgh aftic. The delicate accompaniments to all the songs were excellently rendered by Mr. Heartz, and the clarionette solo by Mr. Wallace Knight was well perform- ed. Miss May Macdonald’s violin solo especially the Hungarian air, was very beautiful, and this gracefu! violinist gives promise of becoming one of the most cultivated musicians of Charlottetown. The large open stage of the Lyceum Hall], as an acoustic feature, though admirably suited to theatrical and other entertainments, is thoroughly destructive to all purity of musical tone in such a delicate instrument as a violin, and we would suggest that when this building is used for concerts the stage should be com- pletely shut off. The piano used on this occasion was from the establishment of Miller Bros. The Baptist Mission In India. Rev. J. C. Arcuigatp and wife, who have been during the last twelve years en- gaged in mission work in India, under the direction of the Foreign Mission Board of the Baptist convention of these provinces, are at present visiting the churches on the Island. Last evening Mrs. Archibald ad- dressed a large and deeply interested aud- dience in the schoolroom of the Baptist Church of this city. For over an hour Mrs. Archibald held her audience spell. bound, as she in her own fascinating and inimitable way recited a few of the trials and triumph of missionary life in India, The Baptists of the Dominion have undertaken a great work in India, and the success that atten¢s their efforts is most en- couraging, Such earnest and intelligent missionary addresses as Mr. and Mrs, Archibald deliver cannot fail to stimulate the missionary spirit in the home churches. +> ious Services.

Mr. Peters submitted the telephone bill and explained that it was proposed _to make an extension Westward to Pignish and Eastward to St. Peter's Bay. From Mount Stewart through the Fort Augustus district as faras Webster's Corner, across the Hillsborough and threugh Belfast to Little Sands,also from Victoria to Bonshaw. The Dominion Government will it is under- stood run a line from Souris to East Point, and from Tignish to North Cape,and probab y to West Cape and Cape Bear. The cost of the extension, so far as the Provincial Government is concerned, is to be $2 per mile per year, amounting to $500, payment to begin from the time the lines are finish- ed. The whole work is to be completed lst October, 1892. Mr. McKay called attention to the fact that Rustico, Brackley Point Beach and other summer resorts had not been included within the line of telephone communica- tion. Mr. Peters said that the bill would not bar further extensions at future rimes. Mr. Shaw advocated telephone extension to Baldwin’s Cross, Victoria Cross, Corr- vil’a, Narrow’s Creek, Upton and Mount Hope. The Speaker pointed out that offices were needed along the line between Alberton and Tignish, and that the line as proposed would be of no value to the fishing estab- lishments on the coast. The leader of the Opposition pointed out that Caledonia and Point Prim were left out;‘also Brackley Psint and the sections in the Cardigan district referred to by Mr. Shaw. After considerable discussion the bill was reported agreed to. Mr. Matheson submitted a bill entitled ‘*an act to bar the entailed lands of John Hunter Davar.” The bill was raad a first time, read a _ second time, committed toa committee of the whole House, reported agreed to, read a third time and passed—all in less than ten min- utes. A bill fromthe Legislative Council to prevent the profanation of the Lord’s Day was then read a firstand second time in committee of the whole House. A dis- cussion ensued, EVENING SESSION. House went into committee on the Sun- day Observance Bit], with Mr. Montgomery in the chair. The bill. after a good deal of discussion, was withdrawn by the Leader of the Gov- ernment for the purpose of mike some alterations in certain clauses. Speaker took the chair. Mr. Bell xnoved a resolution to the effect that it would be in the interest of the peo- ple of Prince County to establish a registry office at Summerside. Mr. Rogers seconded the resolution. The Leader of the Government said he would be willing to give registry offices to both Prince and King’s Counties if it could be shown that the expenses would not be very great, and they would be of ad- vantage tothe people. But at prefent he was not prepared to give any decided an- swer. Mr. Bell withdrew his resolution. Hon. Mr. Farquharson then moved the following resolution : “Resolved, That the House of Aiusembly of P. F. Island now in session views with satis- faction the fact that a delegation from the Dominion Government has been deputed to visit Washington during the month of October next to discuss the question of free trade relations between Canada and the United States, Representing as we do an agricultural country and knowing that the Dominion offers a very limited market for our products, we look forward with much interest to a satisfactory solution of this great question and trust that Unrestricted Reciprocity with the United States will result from the deliberations referred to.” Mr. Warburton seconded the motion. The Leader of the Opposition moved the following amendment : Resolved, That all after the first para- graph in said resolutiow be struck out, and the following inserted in lieu thereof. Representing 4 province whose chief in- dustry is agriculture, we hope the negotia- tions will result in establishing the freest trade relations possible batween the coun- tries consistent with the exigencies of the Dominion and our relationship with Great Britain. Amendment lost and main resolution carried. House adjourned at two o’clock Saturday mornin g. Sarorpay, July 11.
