P. W. for the year 1891, the amount let by public competi tion or private contract separately, the date of contract and copies of all vouchers

¥. Shaw asked the Uormissioner of Public Works if it was the intention of the Government to repair Poplar Point wharf

the t aoa80D.. How. Mr. MeLean said the supervieor

would see to it.

Mr. MK. ©. McDonald asked the Commis- sionerof Pablic{Works if it wasthe intention of the Government to cut down the hill kuown as the Dump on the road leading from Caledonia to Little Sands, for the purpose ci ing the same pas ble and tit for use by the travelling public; also, if it ie the imtesttion of the vernment to ¢ the course of said road in order to avoid said_ hill.

Hon. Mr. McLean said that it had been decided to go around the hill.

Mr. y asked the Commissioner of Crown Lands if the aystem of double entry book-keeping, as recommended by the commissioners, Messrs. Arnaud og — v inted to investigate the Public

~ Oiiice, has been cunied into effeet, and if the township ledgers have been regularly audited and checked during the year 1891, as recommended by the said

Hon. Mr. McMillan said that the Gov- erpment had not followed any of the in- ions of Messrs. Arnaud and Carvell, they had not the means. ; The House then went ne Sepenitios on the Bill respecting the islature.

Hon. Mr. McLeod moved ‘* that the fol- lowing, that is to say, ‘isa femme sole, & British subject, who has any one of the qualifications contained in sub-sections c, g, h, i, j, k amd 1,’ be added to section 52 and sub-section |."

Hon. Mr. Peters rediculed the idea of women and said that the Leader of the Opposition was seeking cheap popular- ity.

"nen Mr. McLeod contended that women were at least as sober, intelligent and moral as men, and that unmarried women pos-

soasing property and liable to perform statute labor pay taxes ought to have the right to vote.

Hoa. Mr. Gordon said that he was sur- prised at the position taken by the Leader of the Government in respect to this matter, in ,view of bis t conduct and polite ee when Mrs. Hunt was at the bar of the House, While liatening to the hcnorable gentleman on that occasion he was forcibly reminded of the words of Shakespeare :—

* Where le any author fa the world Teaches auch beanty ss 8 woman's “yes Learning is but an adjunct to oureel!,

Prom women’s thie doctrine I derive,

They eparkle still the right Promethean fire,

They are the books, the arts, academies

That show, vontain and nourish all the world.”

But, to-day, he ridicules the ladies and laughs at the ideathat those of them whohave pro- perty in their own right ought to vote in Provincial elections. He(Mr. Gordon) could 566 no reason why women in such circumstan- ces should be debarred from voting. He thought that an industrious woman, who has acquired property, has a right to vote im Provincial elections.

Mr. Warburton agreed with Mr. Gorden, but thought that the present bill should not, for obvious reasons, be hampered with clauses which might hinder its final pas-

~» Bentley pointed out that a single women who possesses property is liable to statute labor or to pay commutation money, and to perform all other duties in respect to property. He felt sure that his hon. col- league and some other supporters of the Government would not oppose the amend- ment,

Dr. Jenkina thought that this was not the time to — the amendment. Nothing should be done to imperil the Bill.

Mr. Bell agreed with Mr. Warburton and the doctor.

Mr. Shaw contended that ladies who have property should have the a of voting and the attempt of the Government to in the bitter pill presented to the

Lagi tive Council.

on. Mr, Farqnharson said that a little nensense DOW then is relished by the best of men—but this is not the time to give the women a right to vote.

Hoa. Mr. Gordon had a warm corner in hie heart fer the Legislative Council. He had entered politics by way of the Council, and he respected the men who composed it at that time. That the present Government should have moved to abolish it was the ** unkindest cut of all.” The Council might well exclaim, in the ianguage of Caesar, when brutus stabbed him, At tw Brute.

‘Mir. Cummiskey spoke about some personal matters connected with his district, and other discussion followed. The‘amendment was lost,

at ad

EVENING SESSION.

House met at 8.30.

Mr. Matheson presented a bill entitled “An Act to incorporate the O'Leary Hall Co..” which was read sa first time and made the order of the day for a second reading to-morrow,

Ga motion, tue House went into committee of tne whole, Mr. A. McLeod inthe chair, to further consider the Act respecting the Le ure,

he Leader of the Opposition intimated that the section in the bill which provides that no change shall hereafter be made in the proportion of councillors who shall sit in the Legislative Assembly or in the qualitica- tioa of electors entitled to vote for such councillors unless such ¢ he to by at least two-thirds of the members of the Legislative Council for the time being, was not worth the paper it wae written on.

[he Government had no power to asa @ law that shall always remain in feree. They had no right to perpetuate

a coastitution. They have as much right to pwss a law providing that they shall re- main in power until a two-thirds vote of the House puts them out, as they have to pass the one now before us. The Govern- ment only has the right to pass laws to operate during their own existence. Any Government has the right to repeal it if so disposed. It has been done in the past and will be done again. The section, in hia opinion was not legally binding, a fact

that should be borne in mind by hon members when voting upon it It was put into the bill only as a sop for the Legislative Councillors.

‘Lhere was really no protection in it for the property-holders because of its worthless- ness. He could not see why the franchise should be raised in this Province. In New Brunswick it remains the same as it was. There is no protection for the property holders. The same in Ontario. Yet here the Government seems afraid to give man- hood suffrage. The Governmentevidently considers schoolmasters not sufficiently in- telligent to vote, and believes that farmers sona are liable to misuse the franchise, Olergymen who do not own property «are practically disqualified, and some of the very men who now occupy seats in the Lecislature will not be able to vote for Coune.llors under the new law. He did net think thia was right or just.

Hon. Mr. Peters followed. He contend- ed that the two-thirds section in the bill was just as binding as any passed bythe hon.

entieman opposite who had just sat down. fis purposed to pass the section, believing it to be good law. We have as much right to legislate in this way as the Opposition

tive Council. The Leader of the Opposi- tion wants One House and no property qualification; no protection to property holdera. The Government proposed to protect the rights of property hoiders. He denied that there was any disqualification under the bill. The vote was as near man- hood suffrage as it was possible to make it. Esch teacher has a vote in the district in which he resides, and is exempt from the payment ofcommutation money or the-per- formance of atatute labor. He ridiculed the amendments submitted by the Leader of the Opposition, and contended that no matter what that gentleman and his party in this Province might say or do in refer- ence to the two-thirds vote section, if the Hon. Mr. Abbott, the Leader of the great Liberal Conservative party in the Dominion were asked what he thought of it he would say it was binding.

Mr. Shaw spoke next, scoring the Leader of the Government for his vanity and his sneering references to the amendments preposed by the Leader of the Opposition. He put in astrong plea for manhood suf- frags, and for the broadening of the fran- chise according tu the spirit of the age. The young men were the hope of our country, and their interests were identical with those of the property owner. He thought the enacting clause in the bill was only put in at the last moment as a sop for the Legislative Councillors, and that it did net amount to mush. When another Government came ia it could be changed. Mr. Shaw alao reviewed the clause in the bill in reference to mortgage votes, and the statement of the Leader of the Govern- ment that the interests of the farmer and the money lender were identical. The Leader himself loaned money on property, and all he (Mr. S.) had to eay about it was God help the farmer he was a oo-partner with ; he knew who would get the largest share of the profits.

Mr. Warburton followed. He claimed that the son of a farmer has the same right to vote now as he always had. It he has not the property qualification he has the fran- chise qualification. where he had two before; his father has two votes now when he had four previous- ly. He thought the two-thirds section in the bill was morally binding, and that the Government had aright to pass any sec- tion they thought proper. He believed the people were favorable to the proposed change, and were opposed to abolishing the Council pure and simple.

Mr. A. J. McDonald thought the clause should not pass. The Leader of the Op- position pointed out that it is not good law, and the ler of Government says it is. Remembering the land question legislation he was inclined to side with the Leader of the Opposition in his opinion. The bill was an unjust one; but he thought that at the first general election the people would join together and put everything right.

M. Bell denied that there was any inten- tion of depriving any person of a vote he tormerly held, and aaid the Opposition were trying to create a distrust in the minds of the Legislative Councillors in the hope that they would veto the bill. Apart from the two-thirds section, he thought property-holders were sutliciently protect- ed by the bill. They are protected in the first place by having fifteen men in the House, and in the seeond place by the property vote of the country which shall al- ways hold the same predominance it does to-day.

Mr. Gordon said the last speaker evidently did not think much of the two-thirds vote section, and the hon. member for New London would only go as far as to say it was “morally vinding.” The Leader of the Op- position said that this section was worthless, and that it could be repealed by a new Gov- ernment, He agreed with the Leader of the Opposition, He thought the law could be repealed whenever the Legislature wag so disposed. What one _ parliament ean enact another parliament can repeal. He thought the Legislative Councillors were deserving of sympathy. They were not so self-sacrificing as was claimed. They had been driven to martyr. dom by their friends of the Government, and they should not boast of their work.

Mr. McLeod replied briefly to the strict. ures of the Leader of the Government upon his amendment. These amendments were all taken from the Ontario statutes. He was prepared to give every teacher a vote in the district in which he is located when an election takes place. The Leader of the Government was alone in saying that two- thirds section was legally binding.

On motion the section passed and progress was reported.

House adjourned.

Mr. McKay asked the Commissioner of Public Works what action, if any, has been ‘taken in opening a road petitioned for, leading from New London Road to Cavendish Road at or near Laird’s Mille, and if it is the intention of the Government t> open said road; also, if it ia the intention of the Government to open a short piece of road Jeading from the ,road at or near Mc- Phee’s Bridge, West River, to the lower Argyle Road.

tion. Mr. McLean replied that the matter of the road at Mr. Laird’s is under consideration ; as to the other question, the question at issue is finally settled and the road will be opened.

lion. Mr. Peters said that the discrim- inatory duties imposed by the Legislature of Newfoundland against the products of Canada were vexatious and uanecessary, and he moved the following resolution :—

Whereas, it has been brought to the notice of the House of Assembly of P, E. Island that a revenue bill now before the Le,rislature of Newfoundland, contains provisions for impos- ing upon certain products of Canada differen- tial or discriminating duties far in excess of the regular tariff of duties imposed upon simi- lar products of other countries, which discrie minating duties are calculated, if put into force, to disturb and cripple the commeree heretofore carried on between these two de- pendencies of Her Majesty,—

Therefore resolved, That this House humbly prays His Excellency the Governor General to bring the matter to the notice of the Colonel Minister and ask him to interpose his good officers towards preventing the said discrim- inatory clauses being enacted by the said Legislature of Newfoundland.

The Leader of the Opposition seconded the motion. He said that our trade with Newfoundland should be as free as possible. He hoped that the good offices of the Colonial office would he exercised to avoid any trouble about the matter.

Hon. Mr. Farquharson and Hon. Mr. Me- Lean supported the motion, which wae cai ried,

A committee of three membera--viz., Hon. Mr. Peters, Mr McLeod and Mr. Farquhar- soh—were appointed to confer with the Legislative Council for the purpose of asking that branch of the Legislature to join in the resolution and to draw up a memorial in accordancs therewith.

House adjourned until Monday at 10 o'clock .

Judge Young's Will.

Tue will of the late Hon. Charles Young was probated to-day. To his wife, whom he appoints sole executrix, he bequraths all his real estate and personal property, the residue thereof to go to the British and Foreign Bible Society, London, Eng., at her death.

To the Bar Society of this Province he bequeaths his law libr@ry, and to the Trus- tees of the Methodist Brick Church for the time being all his religious bioks. In the event of the establishment of a Citiz ns’ Library, he bequeaths all his miecellane 0: 5 books to that institution ; if it is not estab- lished, they are togo tothe Legislacive Library.

To the Academical Institutions at Sick- ville he bequeaths $1,000 for the pur,ose of educating young men for the Methodist ministry. This clause appears to have been discharged by payment during the lifetime of the Judge.

To the poor funds of the Methodist Chureh and of St. Vincent de Paul Society he beqaeaths $100 each ; and to the funds of the Second Methodist Church, St. Paul’s, St. James’, Zion and Prince Street Baptias — all of Charlottetown, he gives

50. To the Governors of Dalhousie College, Halifax, he bequeatha the silver cup pre- sented to his father by the inabitants of that city in 1826, which is to be deposited in the museum of that institution.

To the different societies with which he was affiliated during hia lifetime he be- queaths his silver badges.

To one of his former domestics he be- queaths $100, and to another $50; and to each of those who lived with him for six paw immediately prior to his death he

eaves $50,

There is a provision in the will in favor of the late John Coyle, for many years his faithfal servant, but-‘*a: Mr. Coyle pre-de- ceased the Judge, his family will receive no benefit. eS

Besides, Judge Young ‘directs that $10,- 000 be tendered his brother Sir William Young!(which will now be to his estate) on account of the purchase of the Judge’s ra- sidence **Fairholm,” and if a settlement be made between the two estates it will, no doubt, increase the value of the estate of the Judge.
