Police Armed in Montreal.

At a meeting of the City Council to-day a bye-law to arm the city police with re- volvers, was read a third time, but a num- ber of members shirked the final vote and broke the quorum, throwing out the measure for the present. Alderman Me- Shane stated that the:police were a disgrace to the city and not fit to be trusted with arms. He held them responsible for several murders that have taken place at Grithintown.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

P. E. lL. Magistracy.

Srr,—It would appear that the Magis- racy of this Province are under a cloud. In the first place, it seems very doubtful as to whether the Local Government has the right to appoint Justices of the Peace or not. The law is not at ail clear on this point ; many are of opinion that it has not. Sut whatever may be thought of the legal authority to commission Magistrates, or of the body in which that authority is legally vested, we all know that the laws, as ad- ministered by many of our J. P's. are

rather muddled. And as to the fines: What becomes of the fines imposed by our J. P’s.? Are they, when collectef, for-

warded to the Local Govermment? In some cases—yes ; but in too many cases no returns are made whatever. It is high time that our J. P. staif had a proper over- hauling. Some whose names appear on the list are either dead or permanently absent from the Island; some have never taken the trouble to get sworn in, and some, which is perhaps the most importan: poimt of all, never make any returns to the Government, but pocket the fines asa matter of course. I hope that some of our independant M. P. P’s. opmew Legislative Councillors will ask, next session, for a full return of all the fines paid into the Treasury for the last five years by the J. P’s. of the Island. Yours, ANON.

Our Supervisors.

Sir,—With very rare exceptions, our present staff of Supervisors are most effi- cient and painstaking. But they are not so good but a word ortwoof advice may prove of service to them, - And -first, they should avoid giving vut small jobs to per- sons by private contract. Nothine lessens the popularity of a Government quicker than to have officials engaging in and coun- tenancing jobbery, whether on a large or a smail scale. Road Supervisors, wher in- prudent or dishonest, do more to injure a | Government than any other class of officials iin public employ. 1 therefore caution them against giving out three and four dol- lar jobs without putting the workvup to public competition, as the interests of the Yovermment and the country demand. I know more than one Supervisor who is in the habit of letting jobs privately. li they do not @iscontinue this unfair mode of handling the public money, you shall hear from me again, when names of offenders | will be given. Meantime, yours,
