THE DAILY

MARCH 16, 1889.

Mr. Parnell’s Pelicy.

ix the course of his last speech in the House of Commons, Mr. Parnell said that he believed that it would soon be seen by the people of England

That it is possible to arrange such & system as will permit Ireland to have the power of dealing with all those matters which concern herself, and herself alone, without the slight- est shadow of danger or risk to the interests of the Empire. All I ask is that you on your side should be willing toconsider and deal with this question as if it were an open question; that you should consider how far you can give to Ireland the right to legislate for herself with safety to your own greater, and un- doubtedly more overpowering, intluences. It is legitimate and right that we, being the smaller country, should endeavor to conciliate you in every possible manner, and yield to you, and agree to such safeguards as you may think necessary or desirable for the security of your own interests. We have always been anxious and willing for this, and we are will- ing to do so still.

‘These are very i mportant words, coming ‘yr = \ from Mr. Parnell. They will, no doubt,

produce a manifest effect upon public opinion in England. oo — St. John and the Atlantic Steam Service.

Sir Joun Macponatp is reported to have said in reply to the representatives of the St. John delegation that * the Govern- ment had decided not to subsidize any line of steamers except those that would use Canadian ports both in summer as well as winter. The mails and passengers during the summer months would be landed at Rimouski, and would have to land during the winter months at Halifax, but he hoped that arrangements could be made for freight to be landed at St. John, if it would be shown that the port was the best one for the purpose. If so, steamship lines would be quite at liberty to go there, provided, of course, it did not infringe on the terms of their contract for the time of departure with the mails for England again. In fact, it was a matter that would rest largely with the people of St. John themselves—of,what inducements could held out for the steamer in the matter of freight, etc. Con- cerning the question of West India and South America trade, he considered phat the harbor of St. John was admirably ad- apted for this purpose.”

The position taken by the Government in respect to this matter is eminently judicious, and at the same time as favorable to St. John as the people of St. John can expect.

Ore Puiting Salt on Canada’s Tail.

The New York Herald of the 15th says : ‘* The*Senate yesterday, appointed, after some discussion, a special committee to sprinkle salt on the tail of the Canadian goose. Senator Frye, who is a_ sensible man, observed that he had never known a bird to be caught by sprinkling salt on his tuil, and that the more we talk of annexa- tion, or act as though we would like it, the more we strengthen the opposition to that movement in Canada. Senator Hoar, how- ever, thcugh thata special Senate committee acting as a sort of adjunct to the Bureau of Stastistics, would be advisable, so it was created. Senator Hoar’s committee ought tu get leave to travel through Canada at the public expense. In that way they might find out something.” The States don’t want Canada--not they !

Meeting of Presbytery.

THe Presbytery of P. E. L. met in Prince- town on the 12th inst. There were present, Revs. J. M. McLeod, A. F. Carr, M. A., Wm. P. Archibald, M. A., B. D., James Carruthers, George McMillan, B. A., Geo. Fisher, J. R. Coffin, Thomas Corbett, John M. McLeod, M. A., Wm. M. Tufts, M. A., and Henry Dickie, M. A., ministers; and Messrs. ‘I. C. James, Henry A. Stewart aud Dr. McKay, elders.

Rev. Mr. Carr reported that he had, ac- cording to appointment, preached in Mont- rose, Elmsdale and Tignish, notified the congregation of the call to their pastor from Valhousie, N. B., and cited them to appear at this meeting for their interests.

Messrs. David Gordon and Malcolm Mc- Leod were received as commissioners from Mr. Fisher’s congregation, and Rev. George McMillan and J. M. McLeod were received as commissioners for the Presbytery of Miramichi and the congregation of Dal- housie. The papers connected with the call having been read and the commissioners heard, the call was placed in Mr. Fisher's hands and accepted by him. While accept- ingthe call, Mr. Fisher expressed his warm uttachment to the congregation and his earnest wishes for their future prosperity. The commissioners from his eongregation also spoke of the high esteem in which Mr. Fisher is universaily held, and the anxiety of the people to retain his ministerial ser- vices. All the members of Presbytery present also gave expression to their appre- ciation of Mr, Fisher's worth as a Christian minister, their gratitude for the success that had attended his labors, their regret at parting with him, and their sincere hope that m his new field his labors may be even more successful than in the past.

_On motion, Presbytery acquiesced in Mr. Fisher's decision, and agreed that his pas- toral connection with his present charge shall terminate on and after 24th inst., after which date he is hereby transferred to the Presbytery of Miramichi for induc- tion into the congregation of Dalhousie. Rev. Mr. Carr was appointed to preach in Montrose, Elmsdale and Tignish on 31st inst., declare the congregation vacant, and act as Galeri moderator of the Session.

Rev. Mr. Tuffts was appointed convener of the committee on Systematic Beneficence instead of Mr. Fisher, resigned.

The augmentation committee reported that Mount Stewart and West St. Peter’s, St. Peter’s and Brackley Point Road had each attained the minimum stipend for their pastor, viz : $750 and a manse; and that Georgetown is moving in the same direction. the committee recommended that as soon as practicable Lower Montague be united with Georgetown, so that they also may be placed on the list of self-sustaining congre- eee it was agreed to apply for the ge mega viz: Key ichmond '

The next meeting of Presbytery was appointed to be held in Summerside on second Wednesday of May, at 11 a. m. J. M. McLgop, Presbytery Clerk.

“«“Frish Affairs.

A GREAT GATHERING IN oT. JAMES’ HALL -— PARKNELL’S SPBECH.

At a mass meeting held in St. James’ Hall, London, on the 13th—Hon. John Morley presiding—Parnell was unable to speak for several minutes, owing to volleys of cheers and the singing of ‘‘ He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” He said: ** Such evenings will do more for union than 20 centuries of {irm government (laughter) by Salisbury and Balfour. This great meeting was as- sembled to protest against the petty and malignant measures of Balfour's govern- ment in Ireland. It is legitimate to in- quire whether or not there is ,a something rotten in the system of government which compels the ostracism from the affairs of your empire of 86 of the 103 Irish members. That is one of the first results of seven cen- turies of firm government, much firmer than we are likely to see again. (Cheers.) If we violated the pledges upon which alone we obtained the trust of our constituencies, namely that we should refuse to accept a place for ourselves or others from the English government as long as the just rights of Ireland are not conceded, we should fail to find a single constituency to re-elect us. Is it nota matter for inquiry why salfour cannot govern Ireland two years without imprison- ing 24 Lrish members of parliament as com- mon felons, for offences unknown to law in England and mainly for speaking and writ- ing in newspapers! (Cries of shame.) When was the command first given to the forger and perjurer to obtain or invent evidence which would result in putting us on’ trial on criminal charges, the punish- ment for which was servitude for life? It was at the very moment when Lord Car- narvon was inviting us to confer with him on the future government of Ireland as to & new constitution which was to be given to Ireland, establishing her parliament. Remember this! No single matter sus- tained by the Zimes was unknown to Lord Carnarvon and Lord Salisbucy when they entered into these negotiations with us. Why did not the Government, instead of fighting behind the petticoats of the Times, say boldly, we think these matters worthy of clearing up and will ourselves appoint a tribunal for the purpose. They pretended they had established a commsssion to en- able me to disprove the letters, but they so carefully framed the terms of the act that the Times was enabled to compel us to ap- pear in court for 25 actual sitting days of the commission, while every charge, every allegation devisable by the cupidity and ingenuity of the informers and jail-birds against everybody else but ourselves was brcught forward and investigated. This country being remote from Ireland, the people of England not being in contact or communication, with no understanding of the real wishes, thoughts and aspirations of the people of Ireland, it is comparatively easy to lead them astray on any political question in Ireland. (Cheers.) So it hap- pened the tory party which in 1885 by the mouth of Lord Carnarvon promised an Irish parliament, in 1886 and 1887 renewed the policy of coercion, and produced forged letters as proof of the criminality of the Irish members. (Cries of shame.) English men and women, you ought to recollect, when you read of forcible resistance by Irish tenants against armed force, it is no real resistance—it amounts to such resis- tance as a filly might make to an elephant about to crush it under its foot. (Cheers. Laughter.) When you hear these things reflect that after all these people are being expelled from homes built by themselves, which are their own property. Although the law has not efficiently protected that property, sometimes their manhood re- volts, and they strike a blow in their own defence. Fromevery point of view we condemn violence, and illegal, unconsti-

tutional action, but sometimes we cannot help thinking that all has been read in the _ lessons, English

misgovernment has taught Ireland for gen- erations to justify or excuse the actions of these rash, hot-headed men. (Cheers.) Men who, despairing of parliamentary agi- tation, losing, and justly, all trust in Irish reptasentatives, who so repeatedly betrayed the constituencies which trusted them— turned to criminal methods as the only hope for the fucure of Ireland. Since the introduction of the great measure of 1886, Ireland has definitely turned back upon all these base, hopeless, desperate courses. She is confident that in ways constitutional, life, safety, and under the genius and guid- ance of that great and devoted Englishman, Gladstone,—(prolonged cheers)— ultimate freedom for Ireland cannot be long deferred. We are now on the eve of a great popular upheaval, which will not subside until you have enabled the great leader to carry through the legislature of the empire a measure which will give Ireland all legiti- mate control over her own future, her own interests, her own welfare without any shadow of harm or ill to your great interests. Parnell resumed his seat amid loud, pro- longed cheering.

The total population of France’s colonies eee of Algeria, 3,910,399 and Tunis, , 100,000) is set down in the latest pub- lished statistics at 20,958,550, of which 19,- 864,214 are inhabitants of the Indo-Chinese peninsula. The total, including Algeria and Tunis, gives a population of 26,968,599 which is not insignificent when compared with the 38,215,903 of France itself. But, ofcourse, only a mere handful of that foreign population consists of French cel- onists. The returns of trade are not very satisfactory, not more than an eighth of the imports aud exports (about $10,000,000)

being carried under the French flag.

DRAFT ADDRESS,

T'o His Honor the Honorable Andrew Archi- bald Macdonald, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Prince Kdward Island :—

May it Puease Your Honor, —

We, Her Majesty's loyal subjects, the House of Assembly of the Province of Prince Edward Island, desire to convey to Your Honor an expression of our thanks for the Speech with which you opened the present session of the General Assembly.

We feel that we have great reason for thankfulness to Divine Providence that Your Honor can, with sincerity and truth, con- gratulate us on the substantial prosperity of the Province.

We fully agree with Your Honor that we have great reason to be thankful that notwith- standing the gloomy apprehensions at one time generally entertained on account of the unusually wet and cold season, there was sufficient crop matured to leave an abundance for the use of the Province—after the usual exportation. . .

Realjzing the importance of encouraging agriculture and other home industries, we as- sure Your Honor that any measure caiculated to make our agricultural aud industrial exhi- hitions more satisfactory aud useful to all parts of the Province will receive our-most earnest consideration.

We regret to learn that so soon after the

very large outlay in proportion to the re- sources of the Province for the accommodatiun of that most uprforiunate portion of our com- munity, the iosane, it is found necessary to call upon the people of this Province to make further provision for their accommodation; but fully realize our obligation to do all in our power to promote the comfort and jighten the burdens of the most afflicted portion of our fellow-creatures. ’ It is gratifying to learn from Your Honor that the work of consolidating the statutes is progressing favorably—feeling that its coim- pletion must be anxiously awaited by every one having anything to do with administering the laws of this Province.

The several bills promised to be submitted will receive our careful consideration,

We thank Your Honor for the promise to submit to us the accounts of the past year, and in deliberating upon the amounts asked for the service of the current year, we will do se with the full conviction that the amounts granted for the various departments of the public service will be expended to the best advantage in the interests of the Province.

We thank Your Honor for the confidence expressed in the result of ourjdeliberations and trust that we may be enabled to srrive at such decisions on the various matters claim- ing our attention as to give Your Honor no reason to feel that that confidence has been misplaced.

On motion of Mr. Underhay, it was order- ed that the draft address be committed to a committee of the whole house to-morrow.

Mr. Farquharson, in the absence of Mr. Yeo, asked if copies of the Draft Address wil! be furnished hon. members.

Hon. Mr. Sullivan said some copies of the Draft Address would be prepared.

House adjourned until ten o'clock, to morrow, in the forenoon.

Thrice happy we, who live to see The Magie star arise ;

For easing pain, the fact is plain, That Healer takes the prize.

A mother wise, doth now advise, Its virtue test and try

Sores new or old, from heat or cold, Like Magie they assail ;

While Healer pure wi!l work a cure With Salve that does not fail.
