There was a Streets EXAMINER | evening ; cupy'mg; | large congregation present, and a collec- la, the most important | tion in aid of St. Vincent de Paul Society, ounting to about $45, was taken up. The music by the choir was excellent. [The sermon of the day was preached by the Rev. A. Macaulay,who took for his text Romans 1-8: “First I give thanks to | my God throngh Jesus Christ for you all | i ' : 7 j because your faith is spoken of in the} whole world.” After some introductory | | remarks the rev. gentlemen referred to | the importance of faith, pointing out that | God could not confer upon & nat ion or an | udividual a more affectionate token of His | Faith begets other virtues, such as hope and charity, to cheer and strengthen the Christian in his journey through life. “Among all the nations of the world,” | said he, “Ireland is the most remarkable | for the realiness with which she received | } ve _ the Faith and the steadfastness with which she preserved it.

GBAND COLLEGE. Notwithstanding the bad condition of the roade, and. the threatening appearance of the weather, quite a large number of the friends of St. Dunstan’s attended the entertainment given at the college last The college hall was literally packed with visitors. Among others resent we noticed His Lordship the Bishop of Charlottetown and the Cathedrai clergy, the American Consul at Charlotte- town, the Judge of Probate, Thomas Handrahan, Eeq., and many other Je minent citizens. The music furnished by the boys was excellent, and brought forth much applause amd favorable comment from the audience. The college orchestra favorable feature of the was a very entertainment, having executed some excellent selections proper to the oceasion. The address by Mr. P. D. Me- Guigan was well delivered, and the decla- mations bore evidence of careful prepara- tion. Two laughable farces were alao played by the boya, during the performance of which the audience was kept in a con- tinual uproar of mirth. We consider thie entertainment one of the most successful we have attended this season, and the boys have every reason to be congratulated on the successful issue to which they brought the performance.

The St. Patrick’s concert at Summerside last evening was a great snecess in every respect. There was a large andience and a sung sutn was realized. The splendid programme prepared for the occasion was carried out in a most creditable manner. Miss Enid MeLean’s revital of “The Story as Sue Told it,” was capital; and the singing of Mesers. Bell and MelInuis, also of Charlottetown, was appreciated. Mr. Curmichael, of Montreal, favored the udience with two recitations, and a, OOK style. The address by Rev. D.J. D. Mac- donald was well given and exceedingly interesting. ENGLAND AND HOME RULE, A statement made by Lord Rosebery in the House of Lords a few days ago, has created a furore throughout Great Britain. Lord Rosebery’s words were as follow: * Lord Salisbury made one remark on the subject of home rule with which I confess he “the youth from all parts of the con- | myself in accord.

It ix to Treland’s future. In the distance we tan see what prophet’s vision is not necessary to reveal—a bright St. Patrick’s morning. Erin has thrown aside her weeds of mourning.

That may seem to be a con siderable admission because your lordships well know that the majority of English } members elected in England proper ar hostile to home rule.” The comment of Michael Davitt upon this remark was as follows: “ It is useless to shut our eyes to the fact that Lord Rosebery’s language creates virtually a new departure of the Liberal party on the question of -home rule. The eagerness with which the enemy has seized Rose- hery’s worda is sufficient reason why Home Rulere should distinguish between phrases that are coined in the heat of debate and the settled policy of the new Liberal (rovernment. But the words spoken by the Premier yesterday furnish the clearest | justification of the actiou of the House of Lords in rejecting home rule. The position of the Unionist lords is English, and they must be convinced of the justice Ireland. That is Lord Rosebery’s doc- trine.” The Independent, of Dublin, says: “It is clear from Lord Rosebery’s speech that Home Rule is indefinitely shelved, and that Ireland has been invited by the Liberal Government to assent to ‘that act of treachery.” ‘The plain truth,’ it says, ‘ie that Ireland has been bought and sold.’ ” The Times, of England, says: “The Prime Minister’s admission that England must be convinced of the justice of Irish Home Rule fairly takes our breath away. It is the argument we have used from the very beginning of the controversy, and carries with it an emphatic condemnation of the proceedings of the party which forced the Home Rule bill through the House of Commons by Irish votes against a great majority of the votes of English represent- It reduces to the ranks of absurd- ity the pretence of agitation against the House of Lords for interfering to protect what Lord Rosebery has thus acknowledged to be the right of English electors. In the presence of this momentous declara- tion all the rest of the verbiage wrap around the political position of the Min- istry is merely warted. There is a ma- jority against Irish home rule among the English mensbers of the House of Com- mons. The bye-electiona have shown no weakening of this sentiment, but rather to the contrary. If Mr. Gladstone’s fiery and sionate conviction failed to win the nglish people two years to the belief that home rule was consistent with the national safety, national interest, national honor, are they likely to be persuaded by Lord Rosebery’s half-hearted arguments, drawn from ambiguous evidence of a doc- trine of disorder in Ireland? All othee considerations are dwarfed by the revolu- tionary effect of Lord Rosebery’s admis- sioh. It must produce the gravest conse- quences ee. it4 significance is per- ceived. will Mr. Gladstone think of this? How will the Irish separatists deal with it? If Mr. Gladstone had not retired we might almost expect him to hasten back and move a vote of want of confidence in his successor.” The Daily News of London says: “No ingenuity can twiet his words into any- thing wore than the utterance of his opin- ion that the Houee of Lorde would not pase the Home Rule bill until it came to / them backed by an English -:najority. ' We do not believe he meant as much as that and we du not agree with him if he did. No serve of the Lord’s treatment of Home Rule can possibly be deducted from hie — The Daily Chronicle of Londnn says: “Lord ’s language discreet, con tion which was far from his own. But if che eee ~~ ENTERTAINMENT AT ST. DUNSTAN’S was @ trifle in-' ng to certain minds a no- at the hint of an unacceptable phrase the whole Irish party wtes avowec ly against the Lonis, but really as a demonstration against a Home Rule Premier, we may well admit that the situation has serious features. We cannot ignore the fact that nearly one-half of the Home Rule party was led to the edge ef a precipice by a will-o-the-wisp. A little nearer and away would go Home Rule and the Newcastle programme.” The comments of the London press upon the defeat of the Government on Mr’ Labouchere’s amendment are interesting. The Times says: The defeat of the Government means nothing less than the break up of the combination which alone can keep the Government in office a single day. . It shows that: Jonn Redmond’s position is virtually accepted by both divisions of the Nationalists. The revolt of the Radicals and the Irish has so shaken the whole position of the Government as to render an early dissolution of Parlia- ment inevitable. The Daily News says the defeat of the Government on Mr. Labouchere’s amead ment is not likely to have any result, the adoption of the amendment not being a vote of want of confidence, but merely 4 premature development of the Govern- ment’s policy The only practical out- come, the News adds, is that the amend- ment must come under the notice of the Queen. The Standard says: “It would be easy to exaggerate the significance of the Government’s defeat, but it would be sheer stupidity to maintain that the de- feat has no significance The vote on Mr Labouchere’s amendment leaves the Cabinet’s authority sadly impaired. It is not an unlucky accident, but a dan- gerous symptom RALLY FOR NEAL DOW'S BIRTHDAY Sin,—As already intimated, a general rally of Temperance Workers is to be held in the Opera House, Charlottetown, Tues day, March 20th. The purpose of this gathering is to do honor te that veteran prohibitionist, General Neal Dow, who if spared, will reach the 90th anniversary of his birth on that day The Grand Division appointed a com- mittee, who also were supposed to repre- sent the Grand Division at that meeting to communicate with other Temperance Societiea, and make arrangements to carry this meeting to a successful issue. The G.C. T. the Rev. W.H. Spargo, will re- present The I. 0. G. T. The King’s County Alliance will also appoint a speaker, and we hope the W. ©. T. U, will also take an active part in this public - gathering. When the programme is fully prepared, doubtless a copy will reach your paper. As the head officer of the G., D. I have been asked to arrange for a Convention to be held on the same day in the same place. The question of a Convention not having been before the G.D., Ido not feel that I have any anthority to make euch a call. However, in consultation with the G. C. T. of the I. O. G, T. and several of the G. D. officers and in consideration of the fact that a C. E. convention is to be held on the 19th in the city, and also that many of of those being temperance workers would gladly remain over, it seems advisable to make such a late call for a general conveo- tion for that day, the purpose of the con- vention to consider what is beet to be done, to carry out the desire of the people for Prohibition as shown by the Plebicite yote, to consider matters touching the prospec- tive Scott Act election in Charlottetown, and also to appoint, if thought wise, dele- gates to attend the Prohibition Convention to be held in Montreal in July next. Other matters may come before the Convention of general importance to temperance wo- men. It seems to be thought best to make the Convention of a general character, so that all societies whether of a distinctive tem- perance cheracter, or C E’s and E y the churches also might feel that they have a right at the Sessions. our temperance friends in the Roman Cothotic, as wellas in all Protestant Churches might feel at liberty to ex- tend. A committee appointed by the Local Divisions have the arrangment of alt Jocal matters in hand, and I am sure they will be well attended to. The railway arrange- ments, I believe, are to be of sucha nature that they will cover both C E and this Convention. I fervently trust that this Convention and Rally will be of incalculable impor- tance to the cause of temperance and prohibition. W. J.

BROW tro CH’TOWN. TELEGRAPHIC. Srecra Despatones to The Examiner PARLIAMENT OF CANADA. — House of Commons Proceedings. TEE OPENING ROUND OF ORATORY. Mr. Laurier and Sir Floor. ed “John on the Orrawa, March 17. Sir James Grant in moving the address in reply to the Governor-General’s speech yesterday, reverted to the fact that he had the honor in April, 1872, of introducing the firet bill for the. incorporation of of Canadian Pacific Railway. Dr. Lachappelle seconded the motion for the adoption of the address. Mr. Laurier demanded reasons for the delay in summoning Parliament. He believed the delay was due to the fact that the Government was waiting to see what | shape the Tariff bill would take at Wash- ington. He took issue with the statement concerning Canada’s prosperous con- 2 — ° 7 ~ dition. Speaking of the proposed Fast Atlantic Service, he said that twenty knote rate of speed was impossible for a northern route. In his judgment it would be imad- ness to expect any company to keep np such a rate of speed in the Gulf and the St. Lawrence. Sir John Thompson on rising to speak was received with cheers. Mr. Laurier had said they had done their best to make something out of nothing and he himself had shown that he was a past-master in that art. ~Sir John Thompson endorsed Lauti:r’s statements respecting Canada’s success’ at the World’s Fair, Mr. Lauriér had said that our farmers had achieved greater triamphs at Chicago than those of any other country. This wasthe very class which the opposition were fond of depict- ing as down trodden and depressed. No one but the Hon. gentlemen opposite took a very doleful view of the country’s af- fairs. Sir John Thompson reminded the House Sthac the Government of Canada are willing #0 meet with good will any overtares which Congress was willing to make in favor of free trale between the two countries. It would, in his opinion, have been a breach of faith had Parliament disregarded what the Unit- ed States was doing, and dealt with the sub- {ect in ignorance of the views of Con zress. r. Laurier’s speech indicated a tone cf marked dissatisfaction with everything the Government had done, No matter what the Government did or pro tode, ce ition leader could not be pleased. ing with the complaint that Parlia- ment has been called very late, the Premier pointed out that during the last ten sessions in which he was a member of the Commons House, parliament had on six occasions met later than this year. Public convenience was to be gauged by the period at which the budget was presented. Under the present circumstances, the budget speech would be delivered next Wednesday, or earlier than in six of the last ten years. Sir Richard Cartwright followed in one of his characteristic and venomous speeches. GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. Harrrorp, Conn., March 14.—The pro- Glamation of Governor Morris this year for observance of Fast Day has caused much comment because of a_ sentence which has bern inserted and which reads : “Jean Hominum Salvator, with Thy gracious light illumine the minds of Thy children, who, groping in darkness, are unable to see the truth when it is present- ed to them.” Governor Morris’ explana- tion of the new language in the proclama- tion is that the present ages are not ob- serving the anniversary properly and he liad the sentence mane Paterson, N.
