Death of Ex-Chief Justice Carter. |

or

Sir James Carter, who was, for many years, Chief Justice of New Brunswick, died on Sunday, the 10th inst., in England, where he has been recently residing. He was appointed Chief Justice of New Bruns- wick on the death of Ward Chipman and occupied the position until 1865, when he resigned, and returned to England, of which he was a native. The appointment of an English Barrister to so high a position over the heads of the Bar of that Paostaes ex- cited a good deal of feeling at the time. Sir James Carter, however, proved himself an excellent Judge, fair, impartial, and free from passion, his legal attainments being also high. He was universally respected, and his retirement, at a time when his powers were not all impaired, was much re- gretted. Still greater regret will be felt at the tidings of his death, although he goes down tu the grave full of years and honors.

Children Suffocated in London.

A startling statement was made by Dr. Hardwick, a London coroner, at a recent inquest in Marlebone. No fewer than 300 children, he said, annually met their deaths in London alone from suffocation in bed. The number of deaths from this cause in other places is probably as great in propor- tion to the population, and shows a waste of life which is truly lamentable. It is gen- erally imagined that the suffocation of in- fants arises in a great measure from the in- temperate habits of their parents. Dr. Hardwicke, however, is of opinion that this is a mistaken impression. His returns do not bear out the assertion that these cases occur generally on Saturday and Sunday nights, after payment of the weekly wages which are too often spent in drink. The children, moreover, of parents in comfort- able circumstances are as frequently suffo- cated as the children of the lower classes. Dr. Hardwicke’s experience leads him to the conclusion that ‘“‘the causes of suffoca- tion are mostly due to the over kindness of the parents.” This is satisfactory so far as it goes ; but the broad fact remains that night after night hundreds of hapeless in- fants are put to death in a horrible fashion by their loving parents, and it is a poor consolation to hear that stupidity rather than drunkness is the cause of this whole- sale slaughter.

The Hastern Question.

Some excitement was caused in Lendon on the 13th, by the prospect of fresh com- plications arising out of the reported move- ments of the Russian troops around Con- stantinople and the difficulties regarding the terms of the Treaty to be submitted to the Congress, but the later despatches hold out a hope that the latter obstacle may ba suc- cessfully surmounted. Germany is said to consider all the points must be submitted and Russia is reported to be disposed to yield ence more to her views. March 28th is now suggested as the day on which the Congress shall assemble ; from Berlin, how- ever, it is hinted that the invitations will not be issued until every difficulty is set- tled. Areport comes from Paris, but is generally discredited, that if Greece is to be represented at the Council of the Na- tions, Prince Gortschakoff will insist on Roumania, Servia, and Montenegro sending representatives. The peace conditions will be communicated to the Powers after the ratification of the treaty, until which time the Grand Duke Nicholas has postponed his visit to the Sultan. England and France are expected speedily to come to an - ment on the Egyptian question. The Rou- manian agent at Vienna isexpected to hand Connt Andrassy to-day a memorandum in- timating that Roumania will not be bound by the Russo-Turkish Treaty. —Toronto Mail.

Dancerous Smoxinc.——-A night or two ago while a gentleman was walking on the street with a lady, and smoking a large meerschaum pipe, he saw a bright flash right in front of him and heard a loud re port. At the same instant the lady gave a cry and held her hand to her face, which was bleeding. The gentleman at first sup- posed that some one had firea a pistol at them, but a moment later found that his pipe had exploded, leaving only a piece of the stem in his mouth, but, strange to say, he had not felt the slighest shock. It seems that a few moments before he had filled the bowl of his pipe with some loose tobacco taken from his pocket, where he had care- lessly left some pistol cartridges, one of which had become heated and exploded in his pipe. The bullet, or a piece of the pipe, had struck the lady on the right cheek, in- flicting a slight flesh wound. — Halifax Chronicle.

A Scgng 1x Court.—During the trial of « pig case in the Westmorland County Court a ‘“‘scene” occurred, says the Post : Mr. Knapp was Gepicting in his glowing language the rascality of Prince Edward Islanders in general, and those who came from there in particular, when an indig- nant P. E. Islander, a spectator, got up and said :—

“You are a liar.” ;

The Judge—‘‘Put that man out.”

That Man—‘“TI’ll go, but he is a dashed

liar.”

Exit man hurriedly.—St. John News.

Very Musican.—A. correspondent of the Kingston News says that there is a little girl living in Pictou, aged between four and five years, who “after hearing a tune

played on the piano can sit down and re- peat it correctly.”

“DOMINION PARLIAMENT,

(From ovr Special. Parliamentary Corres- pondent. )

THE TRADE QUESTION.

Opinions of Members (Continued.)

Ortawa, March 13. MK. PALMER, NEW BRUNSWICK,

Would not see the volume of taxation in- creased ; but believes in a judicions re- arrangement of the tariff. Attacks the position of Charlton, Patterson, Norris and other Protectionists in the ranks of the Government Party ; and supports proposi- tions set forth in Sir John’s amendment.

MR. APPLEBY, NEW BRUNSWICK,

Is not willing that unnecessary taxes should be laid upon the country for the purpose of stimulating its industries. Supports the Government.

MR. GILMOUR, NEW BRUNSWICK,

A very loud Free Trader—a supporter of the Government. MR. COLBY, QUEBEC,

thinks it very important that our Customs tariff should be framed on right principlea. We should not trouble ourselves about the reat of the world—-we should look to our own interests. We ought to coosider our position, resources, capabilities. He holds that neither extreme Protection or extreme Free Trade is suited to our position, re- sources and capabilities. Holds strong that Reciprocity can only be obtained by placing heavy duties upon United States goods coming into our markets. Supports the Opposition.

MR. DOMVILLE, NEW BRUNSWICK, believes in Free Trade, much as he does in a man being perfect. If Free Trade were possible we should be in a happy condition. Thinks we should be sensible and patriotic. Favors a National Policy with a view to Reciprocity. Supports Opposition.

MR. KIRK, GUYSBROUGH, in favor of present taraff. Supported the Government.

HADDON, NEW BRUNSWICK, had pledge himself against Protection, im favor of protecting lobsters and lobster cans; and would vote against amendment. Independent.

MCDONALD, CAPE BRETON, says ruin threatens coal industry of Nova Scotia. Thinks if coal oil of Ontario is pro- tected coal might also be protected on the

“‘Free Trade principles of the Govern- ment.”

ANALYSIS OF OPINIONS.

These——together with those given in my last—comprise the opinions expressed by members since the opening of the session. Your readers will notice that not one man advocated ‘‘increasing the volume of tara tion” —not one man—I think I amcorrect in saying —went so far as to declare that pro- hibitory duties or duties one whit heavier than those required for raising the revenue should be imported. On the other hand,

their logical conclusion, the principles of Free Trade. Indeed, the greater number who opposed Sir John’s amendment, did so on the ground that the present tariff iss ‘protective tariff;” and that it afforded ‘protection enough.” Mr. Dymond, of North York—-Parlamentary editor of the Globe—-went so far as to say that it wase ‘“‘very high Protective tariff.” It will thus be seen that the opinions of our public men differ but in this: that one Party think the present protective tariff established on the

believe it may be ‘‘judiciously readjusted. It is, therefore, quite impossible that in the coming contest the principles of “Free Trade ” or those of ‘‘Protection” will be the issue fought out, for the simple, but suffi- cient Treason, that the country has not got the men to do it.

Iam strengthened in this conviction by the fact that supporters of the Government declare to see the protection principle set forth in the Resolution submitted by Sir John McDonald. They maintain that it is so vague that it “‘ means nothing;” and that there may be no doubt of the sincerity with which they hold on to this opinion. The strongest protectionists in the House—Wood and Irving of Hamiliton, besides Morris of Lincoln, and many others—avowed pro- tectionist supporters of the Government— voted against it. Still they have made no sign of conversion to the principles of Free Trade.

MR. POPE'S SPEECH.

Before the vote was taken Mr. Pope ex- plained his position. He did so ably and well. During the short time that he has been in the House he has succeeded in making his opinions respected and his in- fluence felt. Although, as your readers are all aware, not a fluent or polish- ed speaker, still he has always the ear of the House, though he rises only to ventilate some local grievance or agitate for some local improvement. On

marked attention. I sent you, by telegraph, asummary of his speech; and you will, doubtless, publish it in full as soon as it ap- pears in Hansord.
