In sever il years past,efforts have been A PLEASING siGHT made to raise an agitation for the separ- ation of Nova Scotia from the Dominion. But the Government of the Province have heretcfore discountenanced the idea and the scheme has failed. At first we were inclined to doubt the of the report that Mr. Fielding had given notice of a resola- tion looking to the withdrawal of Nova Seotia from the Union; for we deemed it highly improbable that, whatever her pot-house politicians and re‘rogressioni+ts might say, a responsible minister of the Crown would seriously consider a pro- posal to dismember our young and rising nationality before the most strenuous efforts had repeatedly been made to pro- cure redress of the grievances of the Pro- vince. But it seems that the Premier of Nova Scotia has actually given the no- tice referred to,—and the following are the grounds which he sets forth : authenticity “That previous tothe union of the provinces, the province of Nova Scotia was in a most healthy financial condition. “That by the terms of dnion the chief sources of revenue were transferred to the Federal Govern- men.-. * That strong objections were taken at the time of union to the financial terms thereof, relating to the province of Nova Scotia, as being wholly in- adequate to meet the requirements of the various services left under the management of the Pro- vincial Legislature. “That an appeal was made to the Imperial Government for a repeal of the Union, as far as it related to this Province. “That while they refused to assent to such repeal until a further trial of union was had, the Imperial Government in the Colonial Secretary‘s despatch of the 10th of June, 1868, to Lord Monck, requested that the Government and Parliament of Canada would modify any arrangement respect- ing taxation, or respecting the regulation of trade and fisheries which might prejudice the interests of Nova Scotia. * That on the 6th day of October, 1868, Right Honorable Sir John A. Macdonald, in a letter to the Honorable Joseph Howe, referring to the above despatch, stated as follows: “The Cana- dian government are not only ready but anxious to enter upon a frank and full discussion of these points, and are prepared, in case the pressure of taxation should be shown to be unequal or unjust to Nova Scotia, to relieve that pressure by every means in their power. They are also ready to discuss any financial or commercial questions that may be raised by the Nova Scotia govern- ment or yourself and representatives of Nova Scotia in tne Parliament of the Dominion.” And he further said : “‘ You may remember that I sug- gested to a committee that Mr. Annand, financial minister of the province, or any other gentleman selected for the purpose, should visit Ottawa and sit down with the tinance minister here for the purpose of ascertaining whether any inequality or injustice exists, the extent of such inequality and the best remedy, and I now reiterate the as- surance [ then gave that the government here will consider the question, not in a rigid but ina most liveral spirit, with a desire to do even more than justice for the sake of securing the co-opera- tion of the people of Nova Scotia in Working out the new constitution. We shall enter upon en- quiry whenever it will suit your convenience, and the Canadian government engages to press upon Parliament with all the influence they pes- sess, legislation required to carry out any finan- eial readjustment that may be agreed to.” **That the Dominion Government and Parlia- ment have never carried out tse request or desire of imperial Government and the promise of [tight Honorable Sir John A. Mac- donald as above quoted. “That after nineteen years under the Union, successive governments have found that the objections which were urged against the Terms of Union at first, apply with still greater force now than in the first year of the Union, and the feeling of discontent with regard tothe financial \rrangement is now believed, by this House, to be more general and more deeply fixed than ever before. “That Nova Scotia, previous to the Union, had the lowest tariffand was, notwithstanding, in the best financial condition of any of the Provinces entering the Union. “That the commercial as well as the financial condition of Nova Scotia is in an unsatisfactory as weil as a depressed condition “That it seems evident that the terms of the ‘ British North America Act,’ combined with the high taritf and fiscal laws of the Dominion, are largely the cause of this unsatisfactory state of the finances and trade ef Nova Scotia. “ That there is at present no prospect that while the Province remains upon the existing terms of union a member of the Canadian Federation, any satisfactory improvement in the foregoing respects is at ali probable, “That previous to 1867, negotiations were in progress for a union of the Maritime Provinces, but were interrupted by the negotiations for the larger union. “That it now appears, as it did then, that the interests of the people of the several Maritime Provinces now incorporated with Canada are in most respects identical. “ That the members of this branch of the Legis- leture of Nova Scotia are of opinion, and do here- by declare their belief, that the financial and com- mercial interests of the people of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and P. E. Island would be ad- vanced by these Provinces withdrawing from the Canadian *ederation and uniting under one gov- ernment. That if it be found impossible that, after nego- tiations for that purpose, tosecure the co-opera- tion of the respective governments of the sister provinces in withdrawing from Confederation and entering instead into a maritime union, then this legis] iture deems it absolutely necessary that Nova Scotia, in order that its railways and other public works and services may be extended and maintained, asthe requirements of the people need them, its industries properly fostered, its commerce invigorated and expanded, and. its financial interests placed upon a sound basis such 23 Was the case, previons to Confederation,should ask permission from the Imperial Government to withdraw from the Union with Canadato return o the status of a province of Great Britain, with full control over all fiscallaws and tariff regula- ions within the province, suchas prevailed pre- vious to 1867. "hat, this house thus declares its opinion and belief in order that candidates for the suffrages of the people at approaching elections may be en- abled to place this vital and important question of separation from Canada before them, for decision at toe polls. -——_ - -_—— — With reference to the statement made in yesterday's Patriot that “ it is a disgrace to the Government that Pow- nal Wharf cannot be used by Market people landing there,’ owing to ite being ‘‘ so blocked up,” we have only to say thatthe ‘‘ block” is occasioned by outward freight for the steamer Carroll, consisting principally of eggs, potatoes and produce; that the steamer is at the wharf only about ove day in the week ; and that, so far from feeling injured in| Music Adds its Charm and Eloquence its Aid, Lieut. Governor Macdonald tells what ne Thinks about the Matter. THE TREE PLANTING! Tue forenoon was exceedingly fine, though the wind wasa little raw, and large numbers of citizens were early on our streets to see THE SCHOOLS IN PROCESSION. At half-past nine o’clock the children of the Public Schools were massed. on Queen Square; and, shortly after, the rising young hope of the city, marshalled by their teachers, filed past in procession. The boys of Queen Square School took the lead, headed by the Band of the 82ad Battalion; then followed the girls and boys of Upper Prince Street School, with flags flying; then came St, Peter's Boys School Band, the centre of attraction, and last, but not least, the boys and girls of West Kent Street School. It was ene of the finest sights ever seen in Charlottetown—giving pleasure to the citizens present, and inspiring an assured hope for the future. ‘ The procession was not so large as it might have been, owing to the fact that from motives of morbid delicacy or pride some of the larger pupils failed put in an appearance, and preferred to view the scene from the baleony and other points of van- But it is pleasing to know that the recalcitrant ones were in a very small minority. Nearly a thousand scholars, of ages varying from master five to sixteen or seventeen years were there, marching and taking their part in the interesting occasion with spirit and enthusiasm. After marching through the principal streets, the bands playing alternately, the schools were again massed on Queen Square; and from the balcony of the Provincial Building His Honor the Lieutenant Gov- ernor delivered the following address :— THE LIEUT. GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS. As this season opened so much earlier than the preceding ones, the Arbor Com- mittee named the 8th May for Arbor Day instead of the 24th, as formerly and I believe they have chosen the very best time for tree p'anting, although I regret that it will deprive us of some foreign con- tributions we expected to receive at the later date. I may mention that a gentle- man who is a native of the Island, but who has resided for upwards of thirty years paat at San Francisco, wrote to me during the winter to ascertain when we had our Arbor Day, as he wished to send us some trees from the Pacific coast to be planted here on the occasion, to show that he had not for- gotten the ‘‘tight little Island’’ of his birth. I informed him that it would be on the 24th of May. When the day was afterwards changed, I sent him the paper with the announcement, but it would then be too late for him to forward them here, so that they could reach us by this time. If, however, they should come to hand this season, the Committee will have a supple- tage. mentary planting when they arrive. I am pleased to see such.a number of the PUPILS OF THE CITY SCHOOLS here on this occasion to take part in the duties of the day. It speaks weli for them and for their teachera that on a day that is not a regulac school-day, they should attend in such numbers and im such a very orderly manver, looking so bright and heslthy. On the first occasion on which we turned our attention to tree planting in this city, two years ago, several of the young generation planted trees now growing up even more rapidly than their owners and I hope that many more of them will now markjthe day by planting a tree that theycan point to with pleasure in future years, and which may still remain a flourishing memento of their young labors after they have passed away, but which their children can point to es the identical tree planted by that parent who has gone to eternal rest. IN MANY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES forest trees are planted and the forests are preserved by the governments; and, withia recent years,in some of these countries, have become a valuable source of revenue. In New Zealand and some of the Austra- lian Colonies, a system of forest conserv- ancy has been established by government, and a systematic planting of forest trees has begun even in these new countries ; but Arbor day, as we know it, is a very modern institution, and was first observed in the United States of Amorica, where it has not yet reached its third decade of years, although it is very generally observed there and has legal recognition in eleven States of the Unien. In the Domin- ion it is still in its first stage, but the num ber of places in which it is observed is annually increasing. In the Province of Quebec the subject of adopting a Provincial Arbor day was recently mooted in the Log- islature, but owing to the extent of the Province and consequent diversity of the season for tree-planting within its borders, the matter, our country people have the it was found that the same day would not good sense to feel pleased to of their produce being moved off and their circumstances improved thereby.

I am pleased to see that the Superintendent of Education has called npon the teachers of the four hundred and thirty schools under his con- trol to observe this day by IMPROVING THE SCHOOL GROUNDS, thus giving the pupils an excellent prac- tical lesson in Arboriculture and Horticul- | ture, and interesting their young minds in the study of the vegetable kingdom. They will be seen to turn this knowledge to practical account in later years, and when they acquire homesteads of their own, they willsurround them with trees for shade from the scorching suns of summer and shelter from the cold blasts of winter. The school ground, with trees and shrubbery artistically arranged for its environment, will soon become one of the most pleasing features of the rural landscape, and it will be a model for imitation by the surround- ing country. If Arbor day is now well observed by the country districts, and if public approval warratiis it, we should next year make it a general Provincial holiday, and every indi- vidual who is able to do 80, should devote the day to tree-planting, so that at every homestead in the land the rising genera- tion may be able to rest in the shade of their own arbors and bless those who planted them. CHEERS. At the close of the Address, His Honor the Recorder called for three cheers each for the Queen, the Lieutenant Governor, and the teachers who assisted in the pro- cession—which were enthusiastically given by the boysof the echools. The schools, with the bands in attendance, then march- ed from the Square. THE TREE PLANTING, The planting of the trees was then begun and continued throughout the day. Great George St., was lined with elms, from Dor- chester St., to Queen Square. About forty trees were planted in Aillsburo Park, a numberin the grounds of Upper Prince Street School and elsewhere throughout the City. His Honor, the Recorder, the Clerk of the House of Assembly and other officials, besides many prominent citizons took an active part in the work of the day. Some who planted trees on former Arbor Days were missed, but the trees live after them and help now to keep their memories green. —_ _/_oowm « — McGill College Examinations.
