: j Tue DaILy EXAMINER | ! i | OCTOBER 25, 1882. The Legislative Council Hlection. Tals is the third election of the year: No doubt the people are heartly sick, ot the worry of elections. But they \are compelled io bettup.and.a: them.” If we had to elect our executive officers as they | doin the States, there might be some | zest in the business; , But ours are mere tiresoma,, Struggles to get very. great superabuodance of Legisiators. Our, Legislative mactinery now con; sists of a Lieuterant.Governor, j7ith tits iwo Aides-de-Camps and, his, Private Secretary ; a House of Assembty,of thirty members, with @,1/\Mr.. Speaker,’ a,Chief Clerk avd A-sistant Clerk, two, reporters, a Sergeant-at-Arma,/two messengers ain) two door-keepers ; .and .a Legislauve Counei ot thirteen.members witha ‘* Mr, President,” a. Clerk,, an Usher of;the Black Rod, a. reporter, a messenger and a dookeeper. Without taking;into con- sideration the Executive Council ,who initiate all the Government measures, or the ten Representatives we send toOtiawa, whose duty, itis to legislate in the jater- ests of the Island }in . particular, aod Canada in general—we have here—right here iu little Prince Edward. Island - engaged in the work of_legislating for a hundred thonsand people——no ‘less thao FORTY-FOUR MEN, Who are attended and waited upon by a staff of N»eNETEEN officials and servants, These sixty~three men with their sup, plies of stationery (all tolled) cost the Provioee, when the Grits were in power, nearly three hundred dollars ($300) each per year;/and even since the .ma:ked reductions of the Liberal Couservatives were made,the yearly cost,te the. tax payers of each mav of them amounts to little “less. than TWO -BUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DOLLARS. Yet it: is seriously maintained | by the » Opposition that, this. enormous burden of); Legislators . must { OO8i} be lightened. »The.!

Let.us trace the passage of .a Bill threugh the Legislature. .We shall see » hether! there, are uot now far too many, guards ‘an@ checks upop; Legislation, diffused '-and attenuated to secure that watchfulness and carefulness in| Legisiar tion, which is necessary to the passage of only good,.sound, cousisteat, workable laws, ; We shall suppose the Bill to be: a Goverament measure. The principles to be embodied.,in it, are first: discussed and, #ettied m, the Executive Council— which is, nothing more nor less. than an} influential ..Committee; of , the People’s Represeetatives. in the Legislature, The Bill. is Attorney »>General— formulated, . It, is then submitted to a caucus of the Goverp- ment, shpporters,,.and if mecessary,, Ter. vised... ‘Then. its, main points are sub mitted by seperate resolutions to #Com- mittee ofthe whole House of Assembly; andthe whole matteris talked over. . lf the resolutions are agreed to, the next step is its introduction, whieh, is usually accompanied | by ,a brief explanation; Then. it is read. ** a first time”. and is, laid on the table, to,be examined. by. '* Hon. members.” On some other day following, itis read.a second. time, com- mitted to a, Committee of the. Whole House and read and discussed, clause by clause: Then it is reported agreed to— with or without ceriasn,,,amendments, Then, it is -engrassed),aud..read a: third time > then it ia:paaséd amd{is duly aud formally signed by.

Masters and managers are beginning to realize the responsibility of keeping now taking active measures to ensure a higher standard of conduct, and to secure greater efficiency adhd‘ safety to all “con- eeroed in the various ‘callings. ‘Weave before’ called attention to thé fact ‘that, in the majority of cases, drifk’is the cause of many of the ‘accidents ‘that ‘fill our fomes' with sorrow.’ Mr’ Spicer, the General Superintendent of the Grand Lruuk Railway.has just issued’ the tol- lowing address to the employées on the road :— ce “* Save your money, benefit your fami- lies, ensure’ safe working, do’ not risk your own lives, or the public” safety, by tolerat- “ iy get into # muddled | or worse: condition carelesaness, recklessness, accidents and sire to prevent.” The above advice .is timely and. pater- nak. Railway men, of all others, should be steady, sober, aod trustworthy. We look forwatd'to the time when the least appearance of dtunkenness in any calling wilt meet with -thé immediate dismi-sal of the inebriate ; aod, in.such responsible positions: as railways,| steamboats, and banks, the sooner the. time )comes the better for the men and the public. ‘Thanksgiving. » Phursday, the 9th of; November, has been fixed: by the Geverument jas 4, day, of Thanksgiving).
