WINTER STEAM SERVICE, the people of the Island would never have consented to join the Union. They did join, however, and now lL ask, is itright, is it just, to treat them with indifference be. cause this Island happens to be the small- est Province of the Dominion. 1 appeal to the Government and to hon. members cf this House for justice in this matter. This is not a party question. It is simply a question of fulfilment of contract between the Jsland and] thigDoninion Government. Which ever party may be in power the ob- ligations remain the same. ‘The late Gov- ernment gave us the Northern Light as a sort of experiment, it is now said ; and although, with no less a personage on board than our worthy Superintendent of Penitentiaries, she has been stuck in the ice for the last few weeks, she has never- theless already proved the feasibility of navigating the Straits in winter, or for a portion of the winter atleast. But, as | said, it is not my purpese to discuss at present the Northern Light, or tae eastern
branch railways in connection with the Capes route. I merely wish to peint out that the winter service between the Island and the mainland Is NEIfHER CONTINUOUS NOR EFFICIENT.
This state of affairs has continued already too long, and the people of the Island con- sider that they have waited about long enough to have this matter attended to. British Columbia entered the Union with the understanding that the Pacific Railway should be built within a giventime. Mil- lions of dollars have been expended in keeping faith with British Columbia. Of this I do not complain, as the Government is bound to carry out their engagement with British Columbia, but not any more bound than they are to fulfil their agree- ment with Prince Edward Island. I only wish the members of the Government could be induced to take a trip to the Is-
land at the present time. By the time they mentine, and from Cape Tormentine across
of an ice boat, to Cape Traverse, and from there to the nearest point on the Island Railway, they would exclaim: ‘* Our ex- perience is more than sufficient. We will give the Islanders safer and easier com- munication with the railway system of the Dominion, regardless of cost.”
MR. HACKETT’S SPEECH.
Mr. Hacxerr—This question is one of very great importance, not only to the people ef Prince Edward Island, but to the whole Dominion of Canada, that 1 con- sider I would not be fulfilling my duty if l remained silent at this time. Itis my opinion that Prince Edward Island cannot be considered

DIRECT AND CONTINUOUS COMMUNICATION with the Mainland, we cannot participate in the prosperity of the country. So im- portant was this question considered at the ime of Confederation, that the Govern. ment of the Island insisted on having a clause inserted in the terms of Union, stat- ing that direct and continuous steam com- munication between the Island and the Mainland should be kept up at the expense of the Dominion Government. I say these

Island to the Mainland in the wi: ter. First, we had the old wooden buat “Albert,”
the Straits of Northumberland, by means}
communication, I think the Government should improve the crossing at the Straits. When you reach the Straits, from the Intercolonial Railway to the Island Rail- way, you have to travel some forty miles. This could be overcome by building a branch line of railway, which would not cost more than from $500,000 to $1,000,000 and the interest on that would not be large. I hope the Government will not allow any time to elapse before they take action on this matter. The people of the Island have waited patiently while other claims were presented. While the mem- bers from British Columbia pressed their claims we kept silent, hoping that after they were settled the terms of Union with the Province of Prince Edward Island would be carried out; and now that the question of a railway extending from the old Provinces of Canada to British Colum- bia. is settled, we hope the Government will turn their attention to the improve- ment of winter communication with Prince Edward Island. The terms of Union are not altogether confined, moreover, to the qnestion of winter communication t of the agreement was that communication should be kept in SUMMER TIME ALSO. At the time we entere! into Confederation, an Island company had the carrying of the mails from the Island to the mainland. From that time they received a subsidy from the Dominion Government. But as the wants of the country are increasing, 80 the accommodation should increase. The boats which run in the summer time are not now found sufficient, and as their con- tract will expire within a short time, it is very desirable that something should be done towards putting better boats on the route. It is well known, from the peculiar position of Prince Edward Island, that the whole of the Dominion, with the exception of asmall portion of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, lies west and north of Sum- merside. SUMMERSIDE IS THR POINT
from which direct communication in the summer time should be kept up with the mainland. If good and strongly made screw steam vessels, having ample carrying capacity and accommodation for passeng- ers, were placed on that route, they would prove a paying speculation not only to the owners, but also as tending to develop the resources of the country. I hope before a long time elapses we shall find boats of that character doing that service. While I do not want to throw any blame on the Prince Edward Island Steam Navigation
would travel from Amherst to Cape Por- | Company, as I believe they do the best
they can, and that their captains are prudent and careful seamen, yet it dves ap- pear that the wants of the country have overdrawn the accommodation, while, in ihe meantime, the boats have grown older and inadequate to meet the wants of the service. In October last year, while sailing vessels were putting out to sea from Sum- merside, the boats of the company were tied up, and for several days while there was open water the people were détained from receiving their mails. Looking at the fact that the Dominion Government undertook, at the time Prince Edward ‘Is land entered the Confederation, to pro- vide EFFICIENT STEAM ACCOMMODATION
between the Island and the Mainland, we, as representatives of the Island, are only doing our duty in urging this matter on the earnest attention of the Government. The
people of the Island have waited long and patiently, and they believe the time has now arrived when this part of the compact will be carried oul; they insist on it; they look
atitas part of their rights, and there should be no beating about the bush. This isa grievance under which the people are laboring, and they urge upon us, as their representatives, to urge upon the Govern- m ntin Parliament to see that this portion of the Confederation terms are carried out. I trust before any lengthened period has elapsed, and this year, during the present Session, some proposition will be made for the carrying out of this important part of tle terms of the Confederation, and thus, to a very large extent, benefit the people
‘of the Island, and also inerease its itrade with the older Provinces of the Dominion, because we are large consum« rs bw as - .
of the coramodities of the older Provinces. We are an agr cultural population; manu- facturing has not developed to any great ex-
lating to the importation into Canada of pickled herring in barrels or balf barrels, or of other kinds of fish, from Newfound- land or Labrador coast, and the inspection of such fish in Newfoundland or elsewhere, and stamping of barrels or half barrels containing the same by inspectors of fish and fish oils in Canada with their inspec- tion brands.
A young friend of mine, says Labouchere in the London Truth, was dining with his father a few nights ago. ‘‘ George,” said the fond parent, when they next met, ‘you took my overcoat instead of your own, and J regret to say I found the pockets of your coat full of cigarettes and matches.” ‘‘I discovered my mistake, father,” replied the son, “‘ directly I got outside, for I found the pockets of the coat I had on contained chocolate creams and three pairs of ladies gloves.
It appears that female franchise is making rapid strides in Ontario. A commi'tee of the Local House by a vote of 14 to 6 has reported in favor of a bill to the eff ct that every unmarried woman whose name is on the assessment roll of any municipality and is assessed on an estate for an amount that would entitle a male rate-payer to vote on by-laws requiring assent of electors shall have the same right of voting on such by-laws as male ratepayers.
The latest craze among ladies of wealth and fashion in England is for moleshin coats, which, from the minnte size of the animals and the ditficulty of unearthing them from their subterranean abodes, are as likely to become as costly as the skins of the Russian sable. Regular mole catchers are employed now upon the estates of noblemen and gentle- men to hunt and destroy the little creatures, whose depredations upon the lawns and meadows are as destructive as their skins are valuable. Lady Brassey is said to possess the largest and most perfect moleskin garment ever made, ‘'ver one thousand skins, all collected by herself, were employed in its manufacture, ond she has already been offered two hundred guineas for it.
Carxots FoR Horsres.—The average farmer is slow to learn the value of carrots for horses, and stiil slower to provide them for his horses. They are so nutritious that liverymen and some others feed consider- able quantities regularly to their horses instead of grain. Many consider that four quarts of oats and the same of carrots are as good a feed for a horse as eight quarts of oats, and hcrses that are worked little more than for mere exercise will keep in good condition and look sleek and smooth on hay and carrots alone. An occasional feed of raw potatoes is also good for the horse, especially to give a smooth, glossy coat, and if troubled with worms it tends to clear them away.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher lectured at the Chicago Music Hall recently on ‘*Moral Uses of Luxury and Beauty.” After speaking half an hour and having quoted the Scriptural passage, ‘* How hard- ly shall they that have riches enter the Kingdom of God,” he sacdenly stopped,
his eyes became fixed, his complexion turned marble white, and his hands clenched. He stood in this position, with-
out uttering a word, nearly a minute, The audience was spell-bound, but was aroused by a gentleman near the stag: shouting, ‘* Catch Mr. Beecher, he’s fainting!” Mr. Beecher’s body was swinging to and fro, and he was about to fall as a gentleman on the platform sprang to his assistance and led him toa chair. A glass of water was brought and it partly revived the sufferer. He began rubbing his fing- ers, which were numb. His face con- tinued to grow paler, and Professor Swing, whowas in the ante-room, rushed on the stage, took a seat beside Beocher and fet his pulse, and stepping to the footlights said, Mr. Beecher had been feeling unwell for two or three daye and was in no con- dition to continue his lecture. The audi- ence then dispersed. Mr. leecher was driven to his hotel, and stated to a doctor that for five minutes before he began to totter he could not see the audience, but by force of will power kept on speaking, think- ing it to be an attack of dizziness. The doctor said the attack was not paralysis, as feared, but simple dizziness, due to the stotnach and nervous chill during the day, At 1.30 this morning Mr. Beecher was much better, but very weak.
