The Poll Tax.
S1r,—Considerable capital is being used against the Mayor, in the Civic canvass now going on, by Messrs. Hooper and Me- Rae and their friends, by stating that the Mayor gave his casting vote to levy the
li tax.
What are the facts? A larga meeting of the citizens was held in the Market Hail. A bill was submitted—I think by Mr. Palmer—and passed at that meetiag, and a committee was appointed to draft a bill for the Legislature, including real estate, per- sonal property and poll tax. Said bill was submitted to the Council on April 17th,
lors being present. The bill was so mutilated by the Legista-
7 | Suits & wy Tt) | o —v SE R, GO A = Ss, Mture that the taxing powers previously held
by the Council wore curtailed. The follow- ing resolution wasthen moved :—
Moved by Councillor Crabbe and second- ed by Councillor Kelly :—
Whereas, In the month of March last a large and influential meeting of the citizens was he'd inthe Market Hall, called by His Worship the Mayor, to discuss the best means of civie taxation ;
And Whereas, At said meetirg a resolution was passed to levy a Personal Property Tax,’
CLOTH, by the yard or piece, Very Cheap, «We have on hand a few Suits end];, addition to Real Estate and Poll Tax, and
acommittee was appointed to act with the City Council to prepare an Act to be sub- mitted to the Legislature for their approval ;
And Whereas, The House of Assembly and the Legislative Council have secn fit io their wisdom (influenced by interested parties) not to accede to the request made by the citizens to passa Bill to levy a Personal Property Tax a2 adopted by them, but in lieu thereof passed a Bill in opposition to the well-under- stood wishes of the citizens. curtailing the taxing powers previously held by the City Council upon personal property ;
Therefore Resolved, That the Council do not deem it advisable under their present limited powers to levy the Personal Property Tax. : ghost ov following division :—
* Yeas—Crabbe, Kelly, Koughan—3. Y Nays—Davy, McPae, Horne, Douse and Morris —5. The above resvlutim was Jost at a meeting of Couucil held on 17th April, 1896, ..
end A. H. Mac ew, . City Clerk.
Had this resolution been carried, neither the personal property nor the poll tax would. have been levied last year. And where do we find Councillor Me ae at this Hime 2 Why, ¥ for’ the pereonal pro- perty ard also the tax—which he now atates he voted against. And what were his remarks at the meeting of the electors of Ward 4, held in the Market Hall? He said: ‘Mr Chairman it is not right to levy & poll tax on people sixty and, one hundred years old, but the young men and the tenants who now pay nothing should pay the poll tax.”
Electors of Ward 4, look after this shuffler.
Citizen.
The Bondei Debt.
Sin,—Charlottetown just now is chock- full of Financiers, as is the case about the time of every Civic Election. The last to come to the front “is **Mr. Punch” in THE Examiner of yesterday. This gentleman has discovered, or preteuds that he has dis- covered something whica will prove very in- jurious to Mr, Hvoper in his preeent con- test for Mayor. He says that during Mr. Hooper’s term of office the bonded debt of the city increased $17,600. If “Punch” knows whereof he speaks the statement is very dishonest. The issue of bends which he refers to was made to pay off the accumulated floating debt, incurred by previous Councils, amounting to about $16,000, and for which the cily was paying interest to the Banks eight per cent., interest on interest every month, makingit close upon nine per cent per annum. Mr. Hooper issued bonds bearing five per cent interest, and paid the banks off, thus effecting a permanent saving of about four hundred dollars a year.
Instead of this{transaction proving detri- mental to Mr. Hooper’s interests in the election pending, it will, I think, commend itself to every right thinking man as an act of wisdom, and induce people who live economy in city management, to vote for him. Yours,
Bopstay.

A False Report Contradicted.
Sir,—-In yesterday’s issue of your paper some evil-disposed person, signing himself ‘* Taxpayer,” charges me with bringing out opposition against Mr. John Kelly,—which is an untruth, But I know Mr. John Kelly has made use of such an untruth to influence my friends, the Catholic electors of Ward Three, to vote against me at the coming Civic Election. I hope that gentle- ‘men will have the manliness to contradict the report he bas been circulating against me over his own signature.
Yours, Epwarp Davy,

A Heartless Stepmother.
The village of Cozbek, Pesth, is excited over an act of fiendish cruelty, discovered ou the 7th inst.. A young gicl named Iwona Semko was found in the cellar of an outhouse, where she had been confined and cruelly treated for some months previously by her stepmother, Mime. Semko, The woman was at once. arrested, and the girl —whose health had been
greatly shattered by the treatnient she had undergone — was taken charge of by a benevolent lady, Mme.
Semko was placed on trial on the 20th. Iwona—who is about eighteen years of age, an intelligent, bright-looking girl—was ex- amined at great length. She stated that she and her stepmother had constant quar- rels. “About three months ago, when suffer- ing from a eold, her steparother gave her a drink of hot whey, and the next thing she remembered was to find herself in an almost dark celiar, nearly naked, with.» chain ev tightly padlocked round her waist that the links were sunk if her flesh: Tho ther end of the chain, which was only a few feet
long, was fastened to an’iron bar in the!
wall. During her confinement her step- mother used to visit her every second or third night with food, and on nearly every occasion either flogged her severely or fastened her up in some painful position with a rope. On one cecasion after feeding her on salt meat, Mme. Semko left the pitcher of water out of reach and she suf- fered horrid agonies of thirst for three days. Mme. Semko practised other cruel- ties, which are not fit for publication, The spectators were intensely excited over the girl’s story. When the prisoner was asked what she had to say in reply, she avowel that the girl’s story was true, and she was o sorry that she had not succeeded in killing her. The fiendish woman was sen tenced to ten years’ imprisonment. AA
Furious Strikers.
A despatch from Mount Pleasant, Pa., Jan. 20, states that Sheriff Stewart an‘ forty deputies, and Detective Brophy and twenty armed police from Pittsburg, had a desperate conflict with 250 strikers that afternoon, and succeeded in arresting
irteen. After attacking the men the morning, the rioters rested for dinner, and then massed at the Mutual “Works, near Stone river, At this pomt a ‘wegro,” without provocation, fired at the Hungarians with a shot gun, but failed to hit anyone,, They surrounded his house, dragged the negro out, beat him fearfully, aud left him for dead with his skukefracturet. He will pro- bly die, At threo o'clock the strikers passed up toward Morewood, flouriehirg every manner of weapons from revolvers to case-scrapers, They were headed by Stefen Stannix, the main agitator in the strike, When they reached shaft ‘‘A” of the Morewood mines, they encountered 62 deputy sheriffs and policemen drawn up for battle. Detective Brophy talked to the foreigners, telling them it was use- less to resist, and they would arrest the ringleaders. Brophy arrested one striker, which opened the ball. The com- bat was hand to hand, but the ofticers won, arresting thirteen men and one woman who were sent to jail. The balance retreated, Over a hundred shots were fired. and several Hungarians were injured and were carried away by their companions, Only one officer is slightly hurt. More blood- shed is feared. Some excitement was occa- sioned by a report that the Hungarians were acting under orders from the Chicago lodge of Socialists, and that dynamite taken from Lowe’s magazine during the recent raid was to be used in blowing up the company’s property. The story, how- ever, is generally discredited.
——— nn ————— The Florida Cold Wave.
Letters from Florida state that the recent cold weather there has been long and severe, and that such a lorg period of freez- ing weather has not been kpvown for many years. The freeze continued for six days without a thaw, and it is stated that the fruit on the trees is nearly all frozen, and that the trees are considerably damaged. It is thought that most of the unprotected groves are a total loss. This will be a severe blow to the interests of Florida, as much capital and labor have been — expended
during the past few years. The proportion of young groves in Florida is over 50 per cent. of the entire acreage now devoted to orange culture. From South Florida, it is learned that the oold has been nearly if not quite as severe as in the northern points. in Oakland, Orange County, on the South Florida railroad, the thermometer was 20 to 22 degrees for several days. Pineapples, vegetables and oranges were frozen. On the St. John River the cold was equally severe, It is expected that a light crop of oranges next year will bo the result, + + - A Warning to Those Who Buy L quvors After Hours.
License Inspector Dexter, at the Police Court, Toronto, on the 20th inst,, laid four separate informations against a young man named Stranger, under amendments of the legislature, which provides for punishment of persons obtaining liquors after prohibited hours. The defendant pleaded guilty to two of the charges end denied the other two. He was fined $2 and costs in each case. He pleaded ignorance of the law. The Magistrate said this was the first cuse of the kind which had come before him since the ameudment passed, and the public might not be acquainted with it. The license authorities intend to continue pro- ceedings against those who buy as well as sell «fter hours without license, and are determined to keep the machinery of the law in constant motion.
——@—P>-.
Mayor Howland has proposed to the Toronto Ceuneil to offer a reward of $50 for each conviction for liquor law infraction, and tu invrease the cost of licenses by
