THE EVENING TELEGRAM. VOL. 12. PRICE : ONE CENT. ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND. MONDAY, MARCH 31, 1890. $300 PER ANNUM. No. 75 ■ ' — J—wmmmm—wm PROCEEDINGS 01 1 Legislative Assembly. (("outin ucd from fourth page.) a very recent date fcinee tbe hon. member considered It »n honor to be associated with the late Government. Has he fallen, or have they become better? He would give ''one of the leaves from his journal of our life in the Legislature," which would show What tbe hon. member, Mr. Morine, thought of his present companions but a few months ago. On the 28th February, 18ST, the hon. member had referred to those parties whom he was now so proud to be associated with, as follows: ■ We cannot expect the people to have confidence in a Government which teaches them, by their example, the lesson that 'dishonesty pays better than honesty,' a Government which has no honesty in ittttt. How can the people have confidence in a Gov«*nent whose highest offices are the rewards of treachery and fraud; in a Government of which every member who is worth his salt, has said the vilest thing of his colleague? When every man opposite has, in his time, denounced every other man opposite, how can any of them expect that the colony will not denounce them too?'* These were the expressions of a man who did not deem it an honor to be associated with dishonorable men a few years ago. These truisms expressed by the h< n. member, Mr. Morine, had flashed across his memory yesterday afternoon when he saw the concourse of people in Bannerman Park, and the question had arisen in his mind, How can the people have faith in such men? 11 the people could not trust them in 1887, and down tc ISS9, how can they put faith in then at this time? How could the hon. member, Hr. Morine expect them, so to do? Had they redeemed the past? Had their .political character changed within the past four months? The only change that bad taken place respecting them, so far as he was aware, was that they had been crushed, annihilate 1 politically, by an outraged people. The public did not trust tbe hon. member and his friends, neither bad tbey any sympathy with their present attitude. Having denounced in these scathing terms those whom be now bad the honor to be associated with, the bou. member [Mr. Morine] turned with prophetic utterance to the good times comiDg when all should be made new, and exclaimed, " Let us call in Sir William Whiteway, the father of a progressive policy, the greatest benefactor of this colony. Let us form a new administration. Let us appeal to tbe people and be ruled hereafter by a government ' broadbased upon the people's will.' \ Then when we have cast the hypocrites, betrayers, the lime-servers, into 'outer darkness,' aud have made ' all things new again,' we may hope for prosperity, for happiness, for contentment In the land. We shall be trying to make ourselves worthy of the Almighty's Blessing, and it will assuredly be granted to us then, and tbat time is surely, quickly coming. ' Despite their titles, power and pelf, That crowd, concentered all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from which they sprung. Unwept, unbonorcd and unsung.' Such was the graphic description that the hon. member, Mr. Morine, bad given of what the people might expect upon tbe incoming of the present Government. Tim hon. gentleman's desires have been fulfilled. Tbey had called In Sir William Whiteway, "the father of a progressive policy, the greatest benefactor of this colony." They had appealed to the people; we have funned a new administration, and to-day they had a Government " broad based upon the people's will." They had cast out those whom the hon. gentleman denounced as hypocrites, betrayers and timescrvers, and yet he was not satisfied. Would he ever be satisfied? Yes! he had told them a few days ago, that when he succeeded tn getting on this side of the House, with a salary of $2,400 per year, be would be calm and contended. He (hon. Colonial Secretary) was departing somewhat from the subject before the chair, but it was in reply to the remarks of the hon member, Mr. Morine. The hon. member had said that his paper, the Evening HeraldyzA. not referred to the demonstration as being partisan. Perhaps not in express terms, but let any man take up the issues of that paper for the past week, and he would find its columns filled with denunciation of the Government in relation to their action on the modus vivendi; and appeals made to the passions of the masses for the sole purpose of cmbarassing the Government's action in the premises. What has been the hon. gentleman's course of action in relation to this matter, apart from his writings in the Herald'f In the debate upon that question, when the House was discussing the modus vivendi in private, no man was apparently more anxious in his desires that it should not be made a party question than had the hon. gentleman. But he had made public the substance of that discussion on the following day, and had deliberately ignored his promises and professions to this House. Mr. MORINE said be had not done so. Hon. COLONIAL SECRETARY—The hon. gentleman could not truthfully deny the charge; he will find great difficulty in getting out of that position; his words would be remembered by the House and bis writings are before the public. The French fishery claim is a matter that affects the interest of the whole people of this colony, and to make it a party question, or to endeavor to make party capital out of the present situation, is an injustice to the people and an unpatriotic course to pursue. As to whether the Government have done tbeir duty in relation to this matter the-public will decide, and it does not make very much difference to the Government what •he hon. gentleman or the Evening Herald may say. The Government have done their utmost, as will appear from tbe correspondence before the House. They had been asked why they did not answer the telegrams received in January, February and March, immediately upon their receipt. They had been answered as speedily as the gravity of the questions involved would admit. This was not a matter that could be dealt with hastily; it required calm, judicious thought; that was the course adopted, and the proof that the Government gave such at. temion to the matter, and answered the telegrams With all possible haste,> now on the table of the House. He would say that when the despatches of the late Government were laid on the table of the House, it would then be found what difficulties the present Government had b< < n involved in by their predecessors. It would be found thai the question was given away by the late Government. It was all very well to declaim now against French aggression, and against the Government for the present condition of things. Why, he would ask,.were •• --",.1. meetings held and protests **»*? by the ThorburnThorburn i>arty, when the French tore down the factories of Messrs. Murphy and Andrews? There were no public meetings held to protest against this outrage. They bad not heard a word of protest from the followers of the late Government when the Thorburn executive notified the Imperial Government that they would take steps for closing and removing the factories established by the people of this Colony on the West Coast. Protests at that time might have had good effect, and we might not have found ourselves in the present difficulty. Why silence at that time, and why all this noise and fuss now? The reason is quite apparent to the public. The Government only ask for fair treatment at the hands of their opponents, nothing more. They court a full criticism of all their acts. Tbey had been accused by the hon. member, Mr. Morine, of every crime in the calendar. Accused of being traitors and scoundrels, because they had not joined with the hon. gentleman's friends in raising a commotion, under which those who were really guilty of neglect and connivance in relation to this question, might escape detection. The Government would follow up their efforts, undeterred by any opposition from the hon. member and his friends. They had with them the moral support and sympathy of the people of the Colony, and their efforts would be exerted for the benefit of the Colony, and the happiness, prosperity and contentment of the people. Mr. MORINE rose to reply to the hon. Colonial Secretary, but the Speaker reminded him that be had already spoken twice to the subject; whereupon the hon. member asked permission- to make a few words ot personal explanation, to which the Chair assented. The hon. member said that the hon. Colonial Secretary read a speech of hon. (Mr. Ms.), which he (Mr. M.I enjoyed very much; for it was a good speech and as delivered by the hon. gentleman, sounded well. He was glad to be considered a prophet, and that his vaticinations respecting the former Government proved true; and he apprehended that, at some future.time, a member of the House would rise up and give him credit for the fulfillment of the predictions which he now made touching the present administration. He believed that they would go out as ignominiously as did their predecessors. The hon. the Colonial Secretary never claimed for him (Mr. M.) credit for the Manhood Suffrage Act. Last January the Evening Telegram declared day after day that the hon. Colonial Secretary was the author of that Act, till at last, he (Mr. M.) had to produce an array of evidence to show that it originated with him (Mr. M.J The hon. member said, that, as Manhood Suffrage proceeded from his Party (of the opposition of that day) he was entitled to receive credit for the measure. If this be admitted, then be (Mr. M.) was entitled to a share of credit for the Ballot Act; for he (Mr. M.) helped the hon. Colonial Secretary to perfect that enactment which, therefore, should be known in future as the Bond-Morine Ballot Act. If the hon. Colonial Secretary favored Manhood Suffrage in '87, he will have to explain why he qualified his support of it in '87. In '89 it was with tbe hon. gentleman a debateable point how far the franchise should l>e extended; and as a matter of fact the hon. Colonial Secretary was not prepared to support tbe principle. He (the C. S.) favored Manhood Suffrage based upon an educational test, but he was tripped up when it was shown that the test was not a wiser one than a property qualification. He said, as the hon member, Mr. Murphy, did, that an educational test was the right one to go upon; and that the right to vote should depend upon the ability of the electors to read their ballot papers. In tbe Select Committee tbe hon. member voted down the property qualification and voted for the educational test. The Bill was read a second time. It will be referred to a Committee of the Whole to-morrow. Mr. MORINE -To move, (1) That die reports of select or standing committees of this house, except com-.. mittees ot the whole house, shall not hereafter be adopted on the day of their presentation to the House, except by unanimous consent; and that, except by unanimous consent, no motion for the adoption of a report shall hereafter be entertained unless one day's notice shall have been given of it. (2nd) That no bill, report or motion, pledging the house to any expenditure of public money, or entailing any charge for which the house will be called upon to provide, shall hereafter pass this house, except upon a report of committee of the whole house. The motion having been made the subjects of certain rulings by the Speaker, it was finally resolved on motion, to refer the notices to the Committee on Rules and Procedure.The Hon. SURVEYOR GENERAL gave notice that he would on to-morrow ask leave to introduce a Bill, entitled, " An Act to amend the Crown Lands' Act 1884," and the Acts in amendment thereof. Ordered, that, pursuant to notice given by Mr. Morine and his motion thereon, an address to His Excellency the Governor do pass, requesting that he will be pleased to cause to be laid upon this table of this House, a copy of all correspondence between Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies and His Excellency in connection with French claims to take and can lobsters on the coast of this colony: Ordered, that such address be presented to His Excellency by such member of this House as are of the Hon. the Executive Council. Mr. MORINE gave notice that, on to-morrow, he would ask leave to introduce a bill, providing, that no person carrying on trade on his behalf shall, hereafter, be allowed to act as a Poor Commissioner, and that all relief hereafter given to permanent or trausient paupers shall be paid in cash. The House adjourned until to-morrow at four o'clock. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE Mr. Andrew Carroll Missing. — *+. — - The family aud neighbors of Mr. Andrew Carroll, Prescott Street, were thrown into consternation this niornirjg on finding tbat the old gentleman bad disappeared, mysteriously, from his home, and was nowhere to be found. Between .'> and 4 o'clock this morning his son, Richard, heard a door of the dwelling open and some one go out; but thinking it was one of the employees who live in the house, he gave little beed to the circumstance. At six o'clock, when he called the workmen and realized that all were present, he visited his father's apartment and found it vacant. Search in the neighbors' houses and town was unavailing, and the police cavalry and friends were then despatched, but up to the hour of going to press no trace of the missing man bad been found. General sympathy is expressed for his relatives. * We are requested to state that in consequence of there being prayers in the R. C. Cathedral, the Rev. T. Hodgkinson's lecture in the T. A. Hall, to-morrow evening, will not begin till 8.15 p.m. Also, that there will be a plan of tbe ball at Mrs. Rouse's bookstore, where numbered reserved seat tickets can be procured. » The steamer Volunteer, Capt.

On the 28th February, 18ST, the hon. member had referred to those parties whom he was now so proud to be associated with, as follows: ■ We cannot expect the people to have confidence in a Government which teaches them, by their example, the lesson that 'dishonesty pays better than honesty,' a Government which has no honesty in ittttt. How can the people have confidence in a Gov«*nent whose highest offices are the rewards of treachery and fraud; in a Government of which every member who is worth his salt, has said the vilest thing of his colleague? When every man opposite has, in his time, denounced every other man opposite, how can any of them expect that the colony will not denounce them too?'* These were the expressions of a man who did not deem it an honor to be associated with dishonorable men a few years ago. These truisms expressed by the h< n. member, Mr. Morine, had flashed across his memory yesterday afternoon when he saw the concourse of people in Bannerman Park, and the question had arisen in his mind, How can the people have faith in such men? 11 the people could not trust them in 1887, and down tc ISS9, how can they put faith in then at this time? How could the hon. member, Hr. Morine expect them, so to do? Had they redeemed the past? Had their .political character changed within the past four months? The only change that bad taken place respecting them, so far as he was aware, was that they had been crushed, annihilate 1 politically, by an outraged people. The public did not trust tbe hon. member and his friends, neither bad tbey any sympathy with their present attitude. Having denounced in these scathing terms those whom be now bad the honor to be associated with, the bou. member [Mr. Morine] turned with prophetic utterance to the good times comiDg when all should be made new, and exclaimed, " Let us call in Sir William Whiteway, the father of a progressive policy, the greatest benefactor of this colony. Let us form a new administration. Let us appeal to tbe people and be ruled hereafter by a government ' broadbased upon the people's will.' \ Then when we have cast the hypocrites, betrayers, the lime-servers, into 'outer darkness,' aud have made ' all things new again,' we may hope for prosperity, for happiness, for contentment In the land. We shall be trying to make ourselves worthy of the Almighty's Blessing, and it will assuredly be granted to us then, and tbat time is surely, quickly coming. ' Despite their titles, power and pelf, That crowd, concentered all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from which they sprung. Unwept, unbonorcd and unsung.' Such was the graphic description that the hon. member, Mr. Morine, bad given of what the people might expect upon tbe incoming of the present Government. Tim hon. gentleman's desires have been fulfilled. Tbey had called In Sir William Whiteway, "the father of a progressive policy, the greatest benefactor of this colony." They had appealed to the people; we have funned a new administration, and to-day they had a Government " broad based upon the people's will." They had cast out those whom the hon. gentleman denounced as hypocrites, betrayers and timescrvers, and yet he was not satisfied. Would he ever be satisfied? Yes! he had told them a few days ago, that when he succeeded tn getting on this side of the House, with a salary of $2,400 per year, be would be calm and contended. He (hon. Colonial Secretary) was departing somewhat from the subject before the chair, but it was in reply to the remarks of the hon member, Mr. Morine. The hon. member had said that his paper, the Evening HeraldyzA. not referred to the demonstration as being partisan. Perhaps not in express terms, but let any man take up the issues of that paper for the past week, and he would find its columns filled with denunciation of the Government in relation to their action on the modus vivendi; and appeals made to the passions of the masses for the sole purpose of cmbarassing the Government's action in the premises. What has been the hon. gentleman's course of action in relation to this matter, apart from his writings in the Herald'f In the debate upon that question, when the House was discussing the modus vivendi in private, no man was apparently more anxious in his desires that it should not be made a party question than had the hon. gentleman. But he had made public the substance of that discussion on the following day, and had deliberately ignored his promises and professions to this House. Mr. MORINE said be had not done so. Hon. COLONIAL SECRETARY—The hon. gentleman could not truthfully deny the charge; he will find great difficulty in getting out of that position; his words would be remembered by the House and bis writings are before the public. The French fishery claim is a matter that affects the interest of the whole people of this colony, and to make it a party question, or to endeavor to make party capital out of the present situation, is an injustice to the people and an unpatriotic course to pursue. As to whether the Government have done tbeir duty in relation to this matter the-public will decide, and it does not make very much difference to the Government what •he hon. gentleman or the Evening Herald may say. The Government have done their utmost, as will appear from tbe correspondence before the House. They had been asked why they did not answer the telegrams received in January, February and March, immediately upon their receipt. They had been answered as speedily as the gravity of the questions involved would admit. This was not a matter that could be dealt with hastily; it required calm, judicious thought; that was the course adopted, and the proof that the Government gave such at. temion to the matter, and answered the telegrams With all possible haste,> now on the table of the House. He would say that when the despatches of the late Government were laid on the table of the House, it would then be found what difficulties the present Government had b< < n involved in by their predecessors. It would be found thai the question was given away by the late Government. It was all very well to declaim now against French aggression, and against the Government for the present condition of things. Why, he would ask,.were •• --",.1. meetings held and protests **»*? by the ThorburnThorburn i>arty, when the French tore down the factories of Messrs. Murphy and Andrews? There were no public meetings held to protest against this outrage. They bad not heard a word of protest from the followers of the late Government when the Thorburn executive notified the Imperial Government that they would take steps for closing and removing the factories established by the people of this Colony on the West Coast. Protests at that time might have had good effect, and we might not have found ourselves in the present difficulty. Why silence at that time, and why all this noise and fuss now? The reason is quite apparent to the public. The Government only ask for fair treatment at the hands of their opponents, nothing more. They court a full criticism of all their acts. Tbey had been accused by the hon. member, Mr. Morine, of every crime in the calendar. Accused of being traitors and scoundrels, because they had not joined with the hon. gentleman's friends in raising a commotion, under which those who were really guilty of neglect and connivance in relation to this question, might escape detection. The Government would follow up their efforts, undeterred by any opposition from the hon. member and his friends. They had with them the moral support and sympathy of the people of the Colony, and their efforts would be exerted for the benefit of the Colony, and the happiness, prosperity and contentment of the people. Mr. MORINE rose to reply to the hon. Colonial Secretary, but the Speaker reminded him that be had already spoken twice to the subject; whereupon the hon. member asked permission- to make a few words ot personal explanation, to which the Chair assented. The hon. member said that the hon. Colonial Secretary read a speech of hon. (Mr. Ms.), which he (Mr. M.I enjoyed very much; for it was a good speech and as delivered by the hon. gentleman, sounded well. He was glad to be considered a prophet, and that his vaticinations respecting the former Government proved true; and he apprehended that, at some future.time, a member of the House would rise up and give him credit for the fulfillment of the predictions which he now made touching the present administration. He believed that they would go out as ignominiously as did their predecessors. The hon. the Colonial Secretary never claimed for him (Mr. M.) credit for the Manhood Suffrage Act. Last January the Evening Telegram declared day after day that the hon. Colonial Secretary was the author of that Act, till at last, he (Mr. M.) had to produce an array of evidence to show that it originated with him (Mr. M.J The hon. member said, that, as Manhood Suffrage proceeded from his Party (of the opposition of that day) he was entitled to receive credit for the measure. If this be admitted, then be (Mr. M.) was entitled to a share of credit for the Ballot Act; for he (Mr. M.) helped the hon. Colonial Secretary to perfect that enactment which, therefore, should be known in future as the Bond-Morine Ballot Act. If the hon. Colonial Secretary favored Manhood Suffrage in '87, he will have to explain why he qualified his support of it in '87. In '89 it was with tbe hon. gentleman a debateable point how far the franchise should l>e extended; and as a matter of fact the hon. Colonial Secretary was not prepared to support tbe principle. He (the C. S.) favored Manhood Suffrage based upon an educational test, but he was tripped up when it was shown that the test was not a wiser one than a property qualification. He said, as the hon member, Mr. Murphy, did, that an educational test was the right one to go upon; and that the right to vote should depend upon the ability of the electors to read their ballot papers. In tbe Select Committee tbe hon. member voted down the property qualification and voted for the educational test. The Bill was read a second time. It will be referred to a Committee of the Whole to-morrow. Mr. MORINE -To move, (1) That die reports of select or standing committees of this house, except com-.. mittees ot the whole house, shall not hereafter be adopted on the day of their presentation to the House, except by unanimous consent; and that, except by unanimous consent, no motion for the adoption of a report shall hereafter be entertained unless one day's notice shall have been given of it. (2nd) That no bill, report or motion, pledging the house to any expenditure of public money, or entailing any charge for which the house will be called upon to provide, shall hereafter pass this house, except upon a report of committee of the whole house. The motion having been made the subjects of certain rulings by the Speaker, it was finally resolved on motion, to refer the notices to the Committee on Rules and Procedure.The Hon. SURVEYOR GENERAL gave notice that he would on to-morrow ask leave to introduce a Bill, entitled, " An Act to amend the Crown Lands' Act 1884," and the Acts in amendment thereof. Ordered, that, pursuant to notice given by Mr. Morine and his motion thereon, an address to His Excellency the Governor do pass, requesting that he will be pleased to cause to be laid upon this table of this House, a copy of all correspondence between Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies and His Excellency in connection with French claims to take and can lobsters on the coast of this colony: Ordered, that such address be presented to His Excellency by such member of this House as are of the Hon. the Executive Council. Mr. MORINE gave notice that, on to-morrow, he would ask leave to introduce a bill, providing, that no person carrying on trade on his behalf shall, hereafter, be allowed to act as a Poor Commissioner, and that all relief hereafter given to permanent or trausient paupers shall be paid in cash. The House adjourned until to-morrow at four o'clock. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE Mr. Andrew Carroll Missing. — *+. — - The family aud neighbors of Mr. Andrew Carroll, Prescott Street, were thrown into consternation this niornirjg on finding tbat the old gentleman bad disappeared, mysteriously, from his home, and was nowhere to be found. Between .'> and 4 o'clock this morning his son, Richard, heard a door of the dwelling open and some one go out; but thinking it was one of the employees who live in the house, he gave little beed to the circumstance. At six o'clock, when he called the workmen and realized that all were present, he visited his father's apartment and found it vacant. Search in the neighbors' houses and town was unavailing, and the police cavalry and friends were then despatched, but up to the hour of going to press no trace of the missing man bad been found. General sympathy is expressed for his relatives. * We are requested to state that in consequence of there being prayers in the R. C. Cathedral, the Rev. T. Hodgkinson's lecture in the T. A. Hall, to-morrow evening, will not begin till 8.15 p.m. Also, that there will be a plan of tbe ball at Mrs. Rouse's bookstore, where numbered reserved seat tickets can be procured. » The steamer Volunteer, Capt.
