HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Advocate, 1891-8-13, Page 3DOMINION PARLIAMENT Mr. Sutherland introduced a Bill re- specting the OntaHo Express az Trans - potation Company, which was real a first Mr. Davin moved an address to His Ex- collexiey the Gevernor-General praying for an inquiry into the coriduct of Lawrence W. Herchmer, Commissioner a the Northwest mounted Police, generally from the date of his appointment, and especially with respect to his conduct durhag the last election in Western Assiniboia. Mr. Davin recounted the happenings at Maple Creek on polling day, where Col. Horchmer's machinations, he declared, told heavily against him. The friends of his opponent, Mr. Tweed, had 70 or 80 halfbreeds, he eaid, to whom they gave a couple of glasses of whiskey each and then led them up to the voting place, where, voting being open and not by -ballot, they all voted for Mr. Tweed. Mr. Davin said that he could have circumvented the oppo- site aide with regard to, these half-breeds, but was too conscientious. Several hon. members—How? Mr. Choquette—By doubling the dose. (Laughter.) Mr. Laurier said that Parliament was the great Court of Inquiry for this country. If , Mr. Davin had asked for a committee of the House to investigate the charges there would have been a better chalice of arriving at the truth than to have the investigation ,sonducted by others. He was very glad to asea:, see that they had the sympathy of Mr. Davin in their protests against the inter- ference of public officers in elections. He supposed that henceforth they would have his support when they brought this question before the House. Mr. Davin withdrew the motion. Mr. Kirkpatrick moved that in the opinion of the House it is expedient that the Government should bestow some mark of recognition upon the veterans of 1837-8 for their services to the country at that time. They asked for some recognition of their services. Mr. .Allison approved of the object of the resolution, and suggested that each of the veterans be granted 160 acres of land in the west. Mr. Tisdale, while he disclaimed any wish to be regarded as a supporter of any exten- sive pension system, held that as the surviv- tars of '37 were few in number, and a consid- erable portion of them in aadestitute condi- tion, some assistance should be given them, either in the way of pecuniary assistance or of a grant of land. Mr. Somerville opposed the motion. The Canadians owed more to the rebels of 1837 for the civil and religious liberty with which Canada is blessed to -day than to anyothers. William Lyon Mackenzie and Louis Pepin - eau were patriots and heroes, who fought boldly for right against wrong,and Ontario and Quebec could honor their memory too highly. Lord Durham, in his celebrated report to the Home Government, declared that the rebellion was justifiable. On Par- liament Hill the Donainion had erected a monument to the rebel Sir George Cartier. It was the rebels of '37 whom Canada should hold in honored remembrance, not the men who took arms against them. AFTER BECESS. Mr. Wallace's Bill to amend the Act for the prevention and suppression of com- binations in restraint of trade was read a third time. Mr. Charlton moved the House into com- mittee on his Bill to secure the better observance of the Lord's day, commonly called Sunday. Mr. Macintosh suggested that the clause providing that no work should be done in newspaper offices before 9 p. m. on Sunday should be so amended as to allow of thecom- mencement of work at 8 o'clock. Mr. Mara said that in British Columbia newspapers were published on Sunday, and not on Monday, in order that those em- ployed upon these papers might have Sun- day as a day of rest, the work for theSunday papers being done on Saturday. In Victoria and Vancouver the people were law-abiding and God-fearing, and yet they were in favor of Sunday papers. He moved that cause 1, relating to the publication of newspapers, be struck out. Mr. Trow asked•Mr. Haggart if this Bill would prevent the opening of some post. offices in Canada on Sunday, as was now the custom. Sir John Thompson moved that the com- mittee rise, report progress and ask leave to 'sit again. • Sir John Thompson's amendment was car- -ried by 63 to 18 votes. Mr. Cameron (Huron) moved the secoad ' reading of his bill to further amend the law of evidence in criminal cases, the object of which, he explained, was to enable an accused person to give evidence in his own behalf. Sir John Thompson said that his own views were in advance of the provisions of the bill. The tendency in modern time had been to remove prohibition from interested persons even in criminal cases. He was willing not only to remove the prohibition without restriction, but to make the accused person and also his wife compellable wit- nesses. He would ask Mr. Cameron not to press the bill beyond the second reading, so that, with the proposed criminal code, it might be distributed among the legal pro- fession of the country for its opinion thereon. • Mr. Laurier said that Mr. Cameron should be satisfied with the declaration of the Minister of Justice, as that in itself was a point gained. • Mr. Wallace rose to deny the accuracy of the report of his speech on llth July at To - 'rout° Orange demonstration, as given in the Mall, which had been quoted by Mr. Devlin. The House went into committee on Sir ,John Thompson's Bill further to amend the Electoral Franchise Act. The proposed .amendment that the revising officer shall not at the final revision remove , the name -of any person entered on the list of voters on the ground that the qualification of such person is incorrectly entered thereon, if it appears that such person is entitled to be • registered on the list of voters as possessed of any of the qnalifications, was struck out, as the Act at present contains a similar provision. The clause providing for the extension of time during which applications to be entered upon the list may be received from August 1st to 15th, Was so changed as to make it clear that the applications could not be received later than the 15th. Mr. Tupper's resolution providing for a grant of $160,000 to aid in the development of sea fisheries was read a third time, and a • Bill founded upon the resolution introduced by Mr. Tupper was read a first time. Mr. Tupper's Bill further to amend the Act respecting certificates to masters and mates of ships Wita read a third dine. , Mr. Tupper's Bill to amend the Aet ie- apecting Governmeet harbors, piers and breakwaters was read a third time. ItEdESS. Sir Adolphe Caron moved a resolution to authorize the Government to pay in scrip or land the claims of the members of the on - tolled Militia bearing aims in the suppree- . , volunteers, Battleford Home Guards and mon of the Northwest rebellion—Regino certain scouts He stated that undOr the .Act the time for preeenting claims expired February 1st, 1887, and it was now pro- posed to authorize the payment of such claims as were favorably reported upon by the Department of Jostice. Mr. faiorier complimented the Govern- ment upon their intention, but not upon the performance. The object of the resolution was a good one, Canada was rich enough to pay all the rewards that had been earned in the rebellion. The provisions of the Act should not be extended in individmal cases, but on general principles to all. He ob- jected to the resolution, because it specified some of those who were to benefit by it. Sir john Taompson ottid it was not in- tended to enlarge the scope of the Act, but aimply to revive it in point of time to all. Tho resolution passed through committee. Mr. Bowell's Bill respecting the Inter - colonial Railway was read a third time Mr. Tupper's resolution declaring that it is expedient to pass an Act respecting, the shipping of live stock, and to provide that the Governor -in -Council may appoint in- spectors under the Act, and determine the remuneration to be paid them out of fees which the Governoron-Council may estab- lish to be paid on live stock shipped on any ships carrying live stock, was passed, ,and the Bill respecting the shipment of live stock iutroduced by the Minister. Mr. Laurier—What is the nature of the provisions? Mr. Tupper explained that the bill pro- vided that the space for fat cattle should be not less than 2 feet 8 inches for each animal, and that for store cattle it should be 2 feet 6 inclies,not more than five cattle being placed in each pen. It was thought by those who had experience in the trade that such space would be ample. The bill was read a first time. Sir John Thompson's bill to amend the Bills of Exchange Act of 1890 was read a third time. The House went into committee on Mr. Dewdney's resolution providing that Do- minion lands may be granted to the Red Deer Valley Railway and Coal Co., to an extent not exceeding 6,400 acres a mile of the company's railway, either from Cheadle Station, on the Canadian Pacific Railway,to its terminus at a point in township 29,range 23, a distance of about 55 miles, or from Calgary, Alberta, to a terminus in township 29, a distance of about 75 miles. Mr. Dewdney, in answer to questions,said that the company had half a million dollars to put in the road, and that twenty thousand dollars had already been expended in surveys, etc. He had not taken any steps to verify the representations made to him. He had accepted as true the statements of the promoters. - Mr. Armstrong protested against such land grants. The Government were fixing matters so that the future settlers of the Northwest would be the bond slaves of these corporations. Sir Richard Cartwright said that the Government had practically fooled away an empire in the Northwest. The resolution was reported. The following bills were read a third time : To further amend the Northwest Terri- tories Representation Act. To amend the Act respecting Judges of the Provincial Courts (admiralty judges). Mr. Tupper moved the House into com- mittee on his Bill further to amend "The Fisheries Act," chap. 95, of the Revised Statutes. The bill was passed through committee. Mr. Costigan when the House went into committee on ihe bill to amend the Inland Revenue Act, had incorporated the excise changes previously approved of by the reso- lution. He stated that it was not proposed to increase the excise duty on cigarettes and also had struck out of the resolutions the following clause: "Tobacco, when put up in packages of one -twentieth of a pound or less, shall on every pound pay 40 cents." He explained that under the bill bottlers must submit the form of label to the depart- ment for approval before they adopted it. The license for compounders was increased from $50 to $150. Sir John Thompson's bill further to amend the Dominion Elections Act was considered in commi ttee. Mr. Mills (Bothwell) pointed out the necessity for placing the responsibility for the proper discharge of the duties of the deputy returning officers upon the returning officer, who should be a man of some stand- ing in the community. Frequently the deputy returning officers were appointed because of their political zeal rather than of any ability they possessed to discharge their duties properly. Mr. McMullen said that the law should provide that the deputy returning officer should upon the evening of election day re- turn the ballot boxes to the returning officer instead of retaining them in his possession for several days. In some districts the re- turning officer had to go around and collect the boxes himself. Mr. Davies said that between the receipt of the ballot boxes and the day of opening them, appointed by the proclamation, frauds were often committhcl by the boxes being tampered with. He suggested that a clause be inserted providing that the boxes should not be accessible except to the returning officer or his agent, and sealed up by the latter until they were opened. Mr. Barron proposed an amendment pro- viding that when the ballots are counted by the deputy returning officer they shall be placed in an envelope, which shall be sealed and initialed by him and the agents. Mr. Mills (Bothwell) suggested that a provision be placed in the law that when a returning officer has made a wrong return Parliament may ask the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery to appear at the bar of the House and order him to amend the return, giving the candidate the seat who has re- ceived the majority of the votes. He re- called the case of the return of Mr. Baird for Kings, N. B., although he did not secure the inajority of the votes. Mr. Paterson (Brant) remarked that the responsibility for the safe keeping of all the amendments proposed rested with Sir John Thompson. Sir John Thompson promised to consider the amendments which had been suggested. The House adjourned at 11.30. Truth : Johnson." lives in a the whole, ain't." On the farm of Col. W. B.

Before justice Davy in special teem ye. day M. Fillmore &CAM, of Brown az Sells, of Buffalo, moved that certain issues of fact in the equity term action of Richard Miller, Winfield Scott Jones and Mary Gordon against George W. Miller and others be sub- mitted to a jury. The motion was opposed by William N. Coggswell. The action in many respects is a peculiar one. Forty years ago Andrew Miller was a wealthy citizen of Rochester. When be died a largo portion of his estate was real property in Rochester and Hamilton, Ont. (The building on the Market square, form- erly occupied by the Spectator, belongs to this estate.) This is now worth from $100,000 to $150,000. He left two sons, James M. Miller and George W, Miller. The 6rst-namcd is dead. The second resides in New York and is said to be quite wealthy., Andrew Miller left his property in trust until the children of his two sons should arrive at their majority, when it was to have beer: divided. The will was probated in 1803. The plaintiffs in this action claim to be the children of James M. Miller by a second marriage their mother being Margaret Boll. Miller had no children by his first wife, and after a time secured a divorce from her in Indiana. He died in 1869. Mrs. Margaret Bell -Miller was never ac- knowledged as Miller's wife by his rela- tives. No citation was served upon her when Andrew Miller's will was probated, and it is claimed that her children dicl not dis- cover the rights which they claim until last year when oneof thenivisited Rochester and inspected Andrew Miller's will. He then commenced proceedings in Surrogate's Court through Browning & Marsh, of this city. The other children of James M. lafiller then began an action in the equity term to recover their alleged rights. Their attor- neys are Brown & Sells. The defence is that the children of James M. Miller by Margaret Bell were illegitimate and that Andrew Miller did not intend that his pro - party should be bequeathed th such issue of his son. Mr. Brown's motion yesterday was to determine the legitimacy of these children by submitting the question to a jury before the legal questions are presented to the court. Justice Davy decided to hold the matter open until the plaintiffs shall have had time to make service on two of the defendants, who are travelling in Europe. — Rochester Herald. It Sounds Rind ofSensible ; Doesn't It Now? The following letter is clipped from the Port Arthur Herald : The business men of Port Arthur should take a hint from the action of the British Columbia Legislature at their last session. This is what that Legislature has done : It has exempted improvements on home- steads from provincial taxation to the extent of $500 and under. It has changed the tax on wild land from 7a cents specific to 2 per cent. on the value. It has given municipalities power to ex- empt improvements on real estate partly or wholly from taxation, and to raise their entire revenue from land values, to the extent of not more than 25 mills on the This legislation was brought on by the fact that land speculation was rampant in the Province, and was placing heavy bur- dens on industry and commerce. Take for instance a piece of land that becomes the site of a town. Wealth is to be created there, and that wealth is created by the labor and capital of the inhabitants being exerted on the laud. Yet our stupid land system allowed a set of men th go in in ad- vance, get hold of the land upon which alone labor and capital can exert themselves, and then say to labor and capital: You shall not produce wealth without paying us for it. We do not propose th help you ; we shall stinply levy as much toll on you as we can get out of you, in the shape of land rent and purchase money. We did not make the land ; it would have been there if we had not got it; but now we have got it we can compel you th go on working and raising the value of our lots by the improve- ments you put on yours." And that state of things gets worse and worse the bigger the town grows. Men expend muscle and brain in improving the town. The more they improve the more they are taxed, while the holders of vacant lands sit by and do nothing, and chuckle as they think of the golden harvest they will reap when the fools who sweat in store and workshop have snfficiently raised the value of their land for them. The people of British Columbia have got tired of this performance, and are to be con gratulated on having seen the right remedy. The remedy is to put no taxation on houses, buildings or improvements of any sort, but th tax merely the land on which they stand, according th its value, and to tax all land according to its value, whether vacant or occupied. Thus a man would be taxed as much for holding land idle as for putting it th the fullest use. Tax commodities—you make them dearer. Tax land—you make it cheaper. Port Arthur wants men and money to engage in productive industry. She wants labor and capital. The way to attract them is to say, "Hese is land to be had cheaply; go on and improve it all you can ; we shall tax you not a cent more for doing so. This is one of those common-sense towns where we do not fine men for making improvements." It will pay the business men of Port Arthur to study up this ouestion.

"I'm afraid 111 stand is poor chance," lie thought, "but try and appear as well as I can, for that may help." So ho was careful to have his dress and perso11 neat, and when he took his turn to be interviewed went in with his hat in his hand and a smile on his face, The keen eyed lawyer glanced him over from head th foot. "Good face," he thought, "and pleasant ways." Then he noted the neat suit—but other boys had appeared in new clothes—saw the well brushed hair and clean -looking skin. Very well, but there had been others here quite as cleanly ; another glance showed the finger nails free from soil. " Ah 1 that looks like thoroughness," thought the lawyer. Then he asked a few direct, rapid ques- tions, which John answered as directly. "Prompt," was the mental comment ; " can speak up when necessary. Let's see your writing,' he added aloud. John took the pen and wrote his name. Very well, easy to read and no flour- ishes. Now what references have you?" The dreaded question at last ! John's face fell. He had begun to feel some hope of success, but this dashed it. I haven't any," he said slowly. "I'm almost a stranger in the city." Can't take a boy without references," was the brusque rejoinder, and as he spoke a sudden thought sent a flush th John's cheek. " I haven't any reference," he said, with hesitation, " But here's a letter from mother I just received." The lawyer took it. It was a short letter: "My DEAR Joilea—I want to remind you that whenever you find work you must consider that work your own. Don't go into it, as some boys do, with tlit' `^"ding that you will do as little as you can, and get something better soon ; but make up your mind that you will do as much as pos- sible, and make yourself so necessary to yoar employer that he will never let you go. You have been a good son to me. Be as good in business, and I am sure God will bless your efforts." "H'ri 1" said the lawyer, reading it over a second time. "That's pretty good ad- vice, John—excellent advice ! I rather think 111 try you, even without refer- ences." John has been with him fiveyears and last spring was admitted to the bar. " Do you intend taking that young man into partnership ?" asked a friend lately. "Yes, Ido. I couldn't get along without John." John always says the best reference he ever had was a mother's good advice and honest praise. DOW TO WEAR GRAY. A Little Study of Complexions, and Also of Colors. Every woman wears gray because it is fashionable, and so it behooves the woman. who is a sallow blonde to know that her gray dress ought to have a rich cardinal or crimson plastron or a big, soft fichu of red chiffon. The reddish blonde need not read this „article. She can wear gray pure and simple without modification. The brunette should take heed that her gray dress has a touch of pink or old rose near her face, or if it becomes her better, of yellow. No girl who is dark should ever put blue with gray. No girl who has nota rose -leaf skin should wear cream and gray. Never wear a gray hat unless you face it with the tint that is most becoming. If you heed these hints you will probably con- fess them wise. —New York, Recorder. White Hair Fashionable. A rumor announcing the revival of white hail as the fashionable color of the future may be reasonably credited. Women who reject blondine and dyes as vulgar, yet crave effective contrasts, are eagerly seeking means for bleaching their locks sdtogether as soon aathe first touch of gray puts in an appearance. There is no doubt about it, white hair lends a look of distinction, and rather tends to freshen the complexion than otherwise. An artificial youthfulness is also gained ; but be not deceived, nothing is so wearing on the possessor's taste as absolutely colorless hair. In time its owner grows th hate it, and unwearying care necessary to maintain the immaculate purity and precision of arrangement that alone makes white hair tolerable.—Illustrated American.

"1 have heard country girls talk of com- ing to the city for employment," says a lady writer in the Cincinnati Commercial -Gazette, "and they have given as one reason that they wanted more social life. Well, that is just what they will not get. The woman of business is hot a woman of leisure, and she has no time for society. She will find more social life in her own home, even if she be a worker, than sne could ever have in the city, and there is no lonesomeness more absolute than the loneliness of a stranger in a crowd. Salaries are not large enough th permit of such relaxation in the way of recreation, and after the da' a work is over one is too tired th go in search of enjoyment. In the country home, in these days, the daily papers and magazines come, so that one may keep in touch with the world, even if she be at one side of the bustle and confusion of city life. The fashion article tells her how to dress her hair and make her gown '• gives her the latest notion in small toilet details. Few towns are so small that they have no public library, where all the new books come ; and the lecture and concert are not infrequent in visite. Railways and tele- graphs have brought the corners of the earth together, so that one is never far from the centre of things. There is occupation, too, for the girls who stay at home, and particularly those who stay in the country. Do not go to the cities in search of em- ployment, as you will be doomed to dis- appointment." Strong Preaching. A reverend gentleman having got into difficulties with his congregation, found it necessary to hand in his resignation. On the eve of his departure he preached. a fare- well sermon, and sought to improve the oc- casion by firing a parting shot. "You un- grateful and godless people," he began, se- verely," it is clear that God does not love you, as I have buried none of you since I have been here; and it is certain you don't love one another, for I haven't married any of you. It is equally plain that you do not love me, for you have not paid me my 13,st quarter's salary. However, I shall hence- forth be independent of you all. I have ob- tained a position as a chaplain of a gaol." And then he cooly gave out the text—" I go to prepare a place for you." Cut For a New Deal.

He was killed on the 711s tilt,* after a good scuffle, in whieli three people a were mauled, A Kull' correspondent sends the following account of the affair to the Civil and Military Gazette : He had been, hovering all thuud a camp of Busalari sheep, which were carrying gram, during the night of the 5t1o, but was kept off by five large sheep dogs. In the morning of the 7th a Mohammedan woman saw him in sonic long grass near the dark bungalow, and, taking him for a. large jungle cat after the fowls, ran after him. He charged her, striking her on the chest, and seized her by the arm. She struck him over the head with a heavy stick, and, other people coming up, the leopard let go and ran into a garden near the dark bungalow. The woman was found to have two claw wounds on her chest and six deep bites in her left arm. By this time some twenty persons had assembled and went into the garden in search of the beast. A syee in the service of the assistant commissioner declared he believed it was only a jackal, but the words were hardly out of his mouth when the leopard, which had been hiding under a etone, charged straight out at the syce with a roar, knocked him down and mauling him badly he is badly clawed on both arms, behind the right ear, and bitten on the scalp, and would certainly have been killed had not a man named Nazina run in and driven a hogspear clean through the leopard's body; the brute left the syce, and tried to work itself up the shaft of the spear to get at his newassailaut, but it only succeeded in tearing his clothes, Nazina escaping unhurt.
