THE ee ee THE DAILY EXAMINER. | APRIL 1, 1892. House of Assembly. Ine Patriot confirms the report that the ! Judge of Probate —Question Provincial Government has appointed Rich- ard Reddin, Esq., Judge f Probate. If the Provincial Goverument had conscitu- tional authority to make this appointment, we shovld hasten to congratulate Mr. Red- jin. But it has not been shown that the Provincial Government is possessed of such suthority. On the contrary, it has been demonstrated, by reference to the British North America Act, that the power to ap- point Judge of Probate for this Province— for all the Provinces except Nova Scotia sad New Brunswick—lies with the Gover- ner General in Council. If, as the Patriot declares, “*the probate work cannot be «!- Jowed to stand still.” it ie necessary that » proper and legal appointment to the vacant judgship be made without delay. The ju" dicial acts which Mr. Reddin may perform will be invalid unless his appointment be tusde by the Governor General. Canadians Commended. ComMMENTING upon the fact aunounced hy fsx Examrvex that the Memoirs of Sir John Macdona'd are to be published, the Euapire says * The task, as one might expect, has been entrusted by the Baroness Macdonald to Mr. Joseph Pope, of Gitawa, long the trusted contident and private secretary of Sir Jobo, and one of the executors of his will. No one will dispate the wisdom of Lady Macdonald's cheice. Mr. Pope it is needless to say, the intellectual vigor and literary talent necessary for the task, but he has, what is even more important, the judgment, discretion and al knowledge of the subject, in- dispeasable to the production of a satisfactory life of the late Premier. The book will be eagerly looked for in Oanads, where the devoted friends of Sir Johan Macdonald are counted by the millions, while many others in different portions of the British Empire will desire to obtain a true study of this great Briton’s career and character.’ **Fidelis,” the poetess, recently paid a visit to Montreal; and she has written a letter to the Gazette setting forth some of the impressions she received, ia the course of which we note the following : ‘Being a lover of art, as well as of liter. ature, 1 thoroughly enjoyed also the noble public and private collections of Montreal, and was glad to notice that, besides possessing « band of litterateurs whose names are too well known to need any mention from me, she can also boast of a painter like Mr. Harris, who unites to tical feeling and technical skill a genuine Canadian spirit, which has led him to select subjects from the hitherto well. nigh sabepinas oe Aig ene ey , . oe wit aliar pleasure, in the Ar Gallery (No. 90) his gikesenyes treatment of a subject of which ! have often wished myself able to put on canvas, from one of the most beantifn! ‘‘ Stories of New France,” that of Pierre Le Jeune’s Missionary Wanderings emong the Algonquina, Such pictures as this shoald do much to foster among us the Can- adian patriotic feeling we so greatly need at thie formative crisis of our history ; and some of your readers who may not have hitherto noticed it, may thank me for calling their at- tention to it. I hope that a painter who showe 0 true aa appreciation for the noble subjects, which our early history richly supplies, may continue to receive the encearagement he de- terves in a city whose wealth in fine pictures entitles it to be considered in this respect the treasure-house of the Dominion,” TE ce ae -The following interesting referetce to large farming operations in Canada by British capitalists appears in the last is- sue of the London Canadian Gazotte : “Lord Brassey's colonization work in the Northwest is progressing. Prof. Tanner, who has recently recovered from a long and serious attack of influenza, sails in + few days for Canada with a party of friends and helpers. The special object of the journey is to establish two new farms upon Lord Brassey's property. It will be known to some of our readers that under Lord Bras- sey’s presidency, and largely by his finan- cia] aasistance, the Canadian Co-operative Colonization Company pureh about 45,000 acres of virgin land in the Qu’Appelle Valley, and forthwith estab- lished a farm of 2,500 acres, which belongs to the Canadian Alliance Company. The first year’s harvest upon this land was, we are informed, a marked success, and the promoters of the enterprise look for a long continued prosperity, with good dividends upon the capital engaged. It is now in- tended to commence to other farms of sim- ilar size, which are to to be known as ‘*The Sunbeam Farm’ and ‘The Wrekin Farm.’ ” — Neva Scotia, too, has to face a deficit of $31,000. The estimates of its grit finan- cier, too, were largely exceeded. It, too, has « flourishing debenture debt. Nata.

Ihe House met at haif-past three, and ou motion went into committee of the. whole to further consider the resolution tabled by the Hon. Leader of the Govern- ment providing for certain legislative j changes. Mr. Underhay was in tlie chair. The chairman read the resolution refer- red to, which has already been published in THe ExaMIner. The Leader of the Opposition moved the following amendment to the resolution, to take the place of the fourth paragraph : Lesolved, That at the next genera! election, and all subsequent elections, there sha}] be elected for each of aaid electoral districts two representatives, both of whom shall be eiected hy the votes of the electors wh, at the time of such election, woold be entitled ta vote for two members to servein the House of As- sembly, ag at present constituted, if that House then existed. Mr. Bentley seconded the motion, Dr. Jenkins said that in 1874 he iatro- daced « resylution.in the Mouse, providing for the abolition of the Legislative Council. That resolation waa lost by a majority of one. In 1879 another attempt was made in the same direction, but the resolution was defeated in the Upper House after passing this chamber. He thought that if we could not get the measure of sbolition sought for that tha next best thing would be the mergipg of the two Houses into one. While he would rather see the House elected by the same vcte as now he thought it would do no harm to ad- mit the property qualification.. In view of the circumstances he theught it would be a3 well to support the resolution and go in for the proposed change. Hon. Mr. Peters explained that the res- olution provided for the election of mem- bers of the House by the franchise and freehold vote. There was no matorial change ia the system of electing members. Uuder the present arrangement the prop- erty owner had proportionately four votes to the non-property owners one ; the pre- posed change would give the non-property owner one vote and the property owner two votes. The amendment strikes at the root wf the whole project, as unless the resolution was passed in its present form it would not become law. The resolution provides for the protection of both fran- chise voters and property holders. He thought it would meet all the requirements of the case, end be approved by the people generally. The members of the Legislative Council have told us that they will not support a resolution selely and simply abolishing the Council, and there- fore the resolution before the House must be carried without amendment or the whole project will be defested. Mr. Gordon thought he might congratu- late the preseut Government upon the steps it had taken in the direction of les- sening the cost of legislation. The late Govyerument had been trying for years to effect a reform in this direction, but the Opposition of that day were not in sym- pathy with them, and their efforts were thwarted. Now he was pleased to see that they had taken a leaf out of the late Gov- erniment’s book and were following in their footsteps in this matter of legislative re- form. He thought, however, that the franchise might be extended so as to place the young man who did not_ own p-operty on the same footing aa the cld man who did. The farmer's son, for instance, who was largely interested in property but was not the owner, should be given two votes as well as his father, who was the owner. The young men of the country were well educated and intelligent and he could see no reason why they should not be placed on #p equal footing with their fathers. When the franchise is restricted and the young man is only allowed one vote while his tather is allowed two votes, the young inan is placed ene iu the position of a slave—he is enied a right which is not denied bis father, He hoped that the Government, which claimed to be Liberal in ite principles, would see that the franchise was extended as he suggested. He thought the people would be favorable to it. Our young men should be placed on at least au equal footing with the young men in the Province of Ontario, Hon. Mr. Farquharson said it was not the intention of the Government to do anything to injure the young men. We want the two Houses combiued—fifteea men elected by the franchise vote and fifteen by the property holders. Now we have a whole Legialative Counce! elected by the property holders, and that House has the power to veto anything this House may do. Ail will sit together under the new arrangement. The leader of the Opposition koowa that the Legislative Council is pledged to oppose the abolition of that Chamber and that it would only be a waste of time to carry the amendment he has proposed. He thought many members of the Opposition would support the proposed ange. ; Me Shaw eaid he was gratified when he heard that the Government was about to introduce a bill providing for reducing the cost of legislation. The late Government had tried many times to effect a reform in this direction, but their efforts met with the most determined opposition at.the hands of the present Government, who were then in op- ition. He did not. think ~ the present jovernment were consistent in tho matter The hon. member for West River has the hardihood to now tell us he was al- ways favorable to the abolition of the Legislative Council, when in 1880 he de- clared in his place in the House that he was opposed to it. He (Mr ©.) thought pwe were too highly governed in proportion to the size of the country and the amount of revenue received, and that it was about time a move was made in the direction of improvement. In his opinion the number of members of the Executive Council might be reduved from nine to five. province of Ontario had only six Executive Councillors, and he thought we could get along very well with five. Quebec, with a population (in round numbers) of 1,500,000 managed to get along with an Executive fof six, a Legislative Council of 24 and an Assembly cf 64; Nova Scotia had an Executive Council of 7, a Legislative Coun- cl of 18, and an Assembly of 38, for & population of about 600,000; New Brunswick, with a population of 350,000, had an Executive Ouuncil of 8, » Legisla- tive Council of 16 (now abolished) and an Assembly of 41 ; and P. E. Island had an Executive of 9, a Legislative Council of 13 and an Assembly of 30 for a population of 110,000. While he would assist the Gov- + 3 -_s DAILY EXAMINER. - . ernment in reducing the cost : f legislation, he would eppose their action in reference to the franchise. He thonglt the fran- chise should be broadened ii. accordance with the spirit of the age—thet non-prop- erty holders should be give: the same privelege as property holders + ad the young man should have the same richts as the old man, There was nothing ofear from the young men, as might be tt ferred from the action of the Government The young men were the bone and snew of eur country, and in curtailing the franchise the present Gcvernment were de; civing them of their rights, and going bac!: on the prin- ciple of the Liberal party. Vealth should not be the basis of qualification. If the line was to be drawn it would in his opin- ion, be better to draw it in favor of the educated young man i stead of in favor of wealth. The proposi ion to give one man two votes and anoth r cnly one, was iniquitous, ond would on); cause dis- content aad jealousy between the parties. fm 1878 the hon. member for West River said he thought that the giving of two votes to the property holders was equiva- lent to disfranchising non-pro .erty hoiders; and to-day we find him su >portisg the very scheme which he then condemued. This was a glaring inconsistency cn the partef the hon. member. He (Mr. S.) held that the Government hal no right to discriminate against the youn: men; they had no right to practically disfranchise the man who had no property. He would much rather see the Council retained than be a party to disfranclising our frrmersa sons, our mechanics, our clerl:2, our school- masters, the »ack-bone of the country. He would not go for depriving these men of their rights. He did not nee that any member of this House had the right to as- sume what course the Legislitive Couacil would take iu reference to the bill, unless he wassarethat some menibers of that body were blind followers of the Govern- ment, Mr. Bell said that in practically agreeing to the passage of the resolution proposed the members of the Legislative Council were relinquishing certain rights and priv- Ueges that they now enjoyed, and there- fore should not be taunted with being vun- patriotic. They were surrendering their exclusive veto power and their absolute right of protecting the interests of property holders. ‘The Legisla- tive Oouncil had done good work iu the past in the matter of protecting the righta of the perty holders. They had throttle! the Kitteborough Tunnel bill, for which they deserved the thanks of the a of the Province, and had prevented the introduction of certain changes in the Education Act. Under the pro measure the law of the land as to the quali- fication of electors is not changed. The qualification is simply left as it was. He agreed with the hon. member for New Perth, that wealth should not ke the only necessary basis or qualification for exercising the franchise. Education should also be a proms invent factor if it could be made so. He thought, however, that the proposed scheme was & good one and should be supported. It provides against clase legisiation or the placing of power in the hands of irresponsible parties, Under its provisions both parties ae stand side by side—both will have equal rights. Hon. Neil McLeod added «a few remarks to what he had said in the feureavun. He said the hon. member for Bedeque, who ap- peared as the apologist for the Legislative Council, instanced some bills which that body had vetoed. Amongst others he mentioned the bill providing for the con- struction of tunnel acrosa the Hills- borough. That bill, ss the hon. member was well aware, provided only for the entering ,into a contract by the Govern- ment with a company of capitalists for the construction of the tanne), which would be @ great boon to the people living south of people residing in Charlottetown. The company was to construct and equip the tunnel to the satisfaction of the Govern- ment befure they got one cent for the work. The changes in the Education Act, to which the hon. member also referred, provided only for the keeping of teachers in the grade vf schools to which they pro- perly belonged—that secoud class teachers should not teach in third class schools without the consent of the Superintendent of Education. And the present Super- intendent of Education—the nominee of the Government—in his report for the year endorses the action of the Govern- ment of that day. Now what has the Legislative Oouncil saved the coun- try? What measures involving the expenditure of large amounts of money has it thrown out? The iniquit- ous Assessment Act,which only passed this House on the catieg Nere of the Speaker —the late Hon. . Beer—was readily = the Legislative Council. The ailway Bill which only passed in this Honse by 4 mange ber one was ulso passed by the Upper Chamber without any trouble. He thought the House of As-' sembly was just as good a representative of property-holders as the Legislative Council, and would look after their rights just as carefully. What right, he asked, had the Legislative Council to tell any member of the Government that they would pass the bill. Such action showed just what an independent body it was. In passing the bill, however, this House has no right to consider the Lagislative Coun- cil or any other body, but had only to con- sider the best interests of the people. It was no sacrifice on the part of the Council to pass the bill, as had been in- timated. They were elected to pass ane speeeuee = was ‘ a the interests oO ecountry. The qualification proposed was too high.” In Ontario the seeptiey quali- fication wae $200, while here in this little Province it was $324. Not much confidence is placed on the education or intelligence of the voter. Under the proposed law it was doubtful if the Superintendent of Education, supposed to be the best educated man in the Province, would be qualified to vote; and how many of our clerks, schoolmasters and mechanics would be disqualified? He never heard of such a mongrel qualification before. It was icsinuated that as soon as the Legic- ‘ative Counci! was abolished, uniform quali. ction would be adopted. He thought, how- ever, that the Government should be honest and straightforward in the matter, and adopt the quslification they > want now and not legislate to please the Legislative Council. . wan not ae to the principle of the bill, as it was alwaysthe aim of the atives to abolish the Legislative Council and to lessen the cost of legislation. He waa, however, decidedly opposed to the franchise “clauses, as they were unfair as well as unjust. Under the proposed arrange- ment young men = non y holders would be 7 ut out, and the whole thing would be in the hands of the pro ¥ holders who could de as they pleased. From . ! the Superintendent of Education down to the country school master, none would be en- titted to vote. party. Mr. Warburton thought the proposed | measur: —. + one, and —_ ns supported.

We heard a good deal now} from the Oppaiee about disfranchising the | yoang men, but they hai not s word to say on the subject when their friends in the | Dominion House a few years ago attempted to | disfranchise a large number of voters. Mr. McKay believed the principle of the bill was correct.. dt should, however, have been in session. Thirty members were quite it to le teforus. He, however, that separate qusi- fication clanse, very strange. He} abjeeted to giv the p y holders | an advantage over the intelligence of the country. He thought the Hon. member for New London « little astray as to what party in the Dominion Parliament attempt- ed to disfranchise the youvg men. He thought Mr. Laird was to blame four it, and that to Bir. Haviland, now Mayor of the city, who was then a member of the Senate, belonged the credit of frustrating the at-} tempt when the measure came before that body. It waa, he thought, a weak argu- ment for the Government supporters to say that the Legiaistive Council would not ac- cept any meagure other than that proposed. Ue was willing to assist the Governmert in the ing of avy measure that would be in the interests of the country, any measure that had right and justice on its side. The amendment was put and lost, and the original motion cheated . On motion, the Speaker took the chair, and the chairman reported the resolution agreed to in committee. After making his report Mr. Onderhay took advantage of the occasion toexpress his owa views om the subject.. He said he was favorable to{the ition of the Council and the lessening of the cost of legislation, bat was not in sympathy with the franchise clauze in the resolution. The Speaker then put the motion that the report of the committee be adopted. Hon. Mc¥eod moved in amendment that the report be referred back to the aa! mittee for the insertion of the resolution previously tabled by him in lieu cof tle fourth parayraph in the main’ Tesoluticn.

Mr. Shaw asked the Commissioner of Public Works to reply to the question of which he had given notice in the order book, viz: what auiounts, if amy, have been paid to Roderick Steele and Piag Flannigan, respectively, for inspection on Cardigan Ferry dock, and also what amounte rer day have been paid to Donald Stewart and Donald Sigsworth, the number of actual days they have been en gene inspecting, and an See yoy paid eae respectively as in tors of said docks, . —_ Hon. Mr. McLean's reply was not eatis- factory to Mr. Shaw, and a war of words ensued between the two to the amusement of the other members and the spectators. By the time Mr. McMcLean had reached a towerivg passion over the matter, and was in the midst of an address specially directed against the hon, member for New Perth, the clock struck six and the Speaker left the chair. w.c.
