HOW TO VOTE.

On the voter entering the polling place the Presiding Officer asks him his name, occupation, residence, ete., and his answers are entered by the Clerk. If no objection be offered, the voter is given a ballot of which the above is a fac-simile, except that the cross will not be on it. The Presiding Offleer has previously initialed the ballot and numbered the counterfoil attached, the voter is then directed to enter a compart- ment provided, where he will find a pencil. If he desires to vote for the Liberal-Con- | servative candidates he will make a cross X |

to the right of the name as we have marked | above. After marking it he will fold it up! and return it to the Presiding Officer, who’ will look at the counterfoil te identify the! ballot by it. After tearing off the counter-' foil and Cvstroying it, the Presic!ug Oficer puts the ballot paper in the bor. Should the voter he unable to read, he mst take an oath to that effect. Then he wil companied by the Presiding Officer to the compartment, and in the presence of the candidates’ representatives (who are sworn to secrecy) the Officer makes the cross alongside the names of the candidates for for whom the elector desires to yute.

CANDIDATES. SPLITTING! Meeting at Mount Stewart.

Ir is admitted on both sides that the meeting held at Mount Stewart last night was a splendid success for the Liberal-Con- setvatives and crusher to the Grits. Mr. Robert Shaw—the popular candidate—de- jivered a moderately worded and able speech; and the speech of the Commissioner of Public Works was keen and convincing. The strongest Grits admit that the meeting was three to one in favor of Kelly and Shaw;and some of our friends, who were present, declare that the proportion was more like twenty to one. It is felt that square voting will give Kelly and Shaw an overwhelming majority. Then let their be no splitting! ! Those who split their votes aid the Opposition!!!

out of the

mouths of the people’s enemies, that the

unnecessary. The Preshbylerian says :—

‘‘Mr Davies’ colleague for Charlotte- town, Mr. Thomas Morris, in his card, now published in the Patriot, and which, no doubt, Mr. L. H. Davies wrote, says, by Mr. Davies’ authority, the following :—

‘*T believe that, by strict economy and retrenchment in the various Departments of the public service, the expenditure of the Province can be so reduced as to bring it within the Revenue without resorting to direct taxation.”

‘Now, then, fellow-countrymen of P. E. Island, this is a confession which is equal to saying that, during the oppressive rule of the miserable fellows who have been kicked ont, you have been taxed $54,000 a year, when there was no need of it.”

Tue following circular was issued from the office of Messrs. Longworth & Co. yes-

SPIRIT OF TH PRESS. | ——-

{ Poronto Maii. | | In dealing with the question of alidition- al taxation. Mr. Tilley was just as clear anc effective as on other points of his speech. In the Mail of March 22nd, ul wis pointed out, in reply to the charge of an tnerease of taxation, that, in effect, the Government nou were asking less than was received in 1873-4. What makes the necessity for higher duties so pressing, is the existing deficit, and the shrink- : articles on which ad valor- em duties are levied, as well as the promise to protect the industries of Ue people. Phis view of the case was put with force by the Finance Minister. The question with him was, whether he would meet the deficit of $2,400,000 boldly, or shrink from his duty like Mr. Cartwright, and leave the credit of the country to take care of itself. Sup- pose that the Reformers Were still iu power, itis confessed that they must raise a revenue, and it is confessed, too, that they would have imposed additional taxation, vide Mr. Casey’s speech. Well, it they were consist- ent, and Mr Tilley apologized to Mr.

age in value of the

McKenzie for such a supposition, they }

would just have added 5 per cent. to the 174 per cent. list, and so Great Britain would have been compelled to pay us 225 per cent. on her exports, while the United States would be only paying us 12} per cent. Yet these are the people whe talk about our ‘disloyal’ policy. On_ that question of disloyalty Mr. Tilley made an effective and striking series of remarks. We are building lighthouses which protect British shipping. We are expending mil- lions on canal and river ‘improvements which benefit British shipping and en- courage British trade. We are opening up our great North-West at a great expense to be a home for the British people. We are helping to keep British subjects from be coming citizens of a foreign country. We are ready to volunteer for England’s ser- vice in war, and when our policy is under- stood in England and is understood here Britain will accept it as Canada ‘as accept- ed it, and will reap its benefits as well. If something less of English goods is import- ed, it will at least be some satisfaction to British statesmen to know that still less comes from fvreign nations, and that our wants are supplied by ourselves, and our workmen are British subjects, employed, and not idle; presperons, and not starving; contented, and not ready fer socialistic re- volt. (Presbyterian. )

We trust our Protestant friends in the Ss. Peter’s District will stand by Hon. Mr. Sullivan and his colleague. Mr. Sullivan is by far the ablest available man of either party for good judgment, shrewdness, and powers as a debater. He fought the peo- ple’s battie well as Leader of the late Op- position, and should not now be forgotten, especially as he has lately been absent in different parts of the country, successfully exposing the jobbery and corruption. Hon. Mr. Ferguson is now doing the same work, wherever necessity calls. His absence from his his District wil! therefore be excused, as he is of immense service elsewhere for the general good. Robert Shaw, Esq., has been brought up in the country, is the son of an honest farmer, sympathizes strongly with that class, and is an able speaker, and a real good fellow, as we can tes- tify, who have gone to college with hin. He deserves loyal support.—Mr. Bain is a good, honest farmer and a fit colleague for our friend D. McKay, Esq., the champion of the people’s rights.—Mr. Bentley will

through the failure of many of our customers and the great depression in trade generally— we have been compelled to call a meeting of our creditors, to be held at our office on Tues- day, the eighth of April inst., at eleven o'clock. A statement of our affairs will be laid before the meeting. and we shall be glad

if you will be present or be represented, |

when we shall ask your advice and assistance as to the best mode of disposing of the estate. Yours very truly, LonewortH & Co.

Messrs. Longworth & Co. commenced business about ten years ago, and, through the energy, perseverance and strict atten tion to business of the senior partner, Mr.

success for many years. They gave ein- ployment toa large number of men—having built and sailed, within the last eight years, thirty-five vesseis; and, owing to their careful management, only lost one. They were large shippers of the preduce of this country to the United Kingdom, United States and West Indies. But when the great depression now existing in this coun- try set in, last year, it found them with a large amount of shipping and other prop- erty on hand, on which they could not realize. This has since depreciated very much in value, and, together with losses by the failure of many of their customers, is the cause of their embarassment.

We trust they will be enabled to make arranvements satisfactory to their creditors that will enable them to go on with the business, as their properties are such that, if forced upon the market at the present time, they will certainly be sacrificed.

The Rev. Jo Cook thas analyzes the action of a boy who climbs a tree to steal apples : ‘The apples are the objective natural motive ; the boy's appetite is the subjective natura’ inotive ; his inteution is his moral motive.” The Chicago Tribune adds the following - ‘The seat of the boy’s pantalouns is the bul! <og’s objective natural motive ; the dog’s ap- petite for small boys is the subjective natural motive—he has no moral motive ; his inten- tion is to make minco-meat of the boy.”

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. | SUMMERSIDE, April 2. A sad drowning accident occurred near Wilmot Creek Bridge, on Monday evening, between half-past nine and ten o’clock, Mr.

Mr. Stewart had been married to a young woman belonging to Corbett Woods Settle- ment, on Saturday evening, and was returning to his home here when he met his death. At Wilmot Bridge he took the ice, supposing it to be safe and better than the main road, which, owing to the late thaws, had become

quite bare ia places. He had driven but a short distance from the bridge when the horse stopped at a place where there was quité a lot of water. When the horse stopped, Stewart struck him a cut with a whip, which caused | him to spring forward into what proved to be | a large bole. Mrs. Stewart managed to reach | a cake of floating ice, and succeeded in saving | her life. Her cries brought some neighbors to ' her assistance, but not in time to help her husband, who had gone to the bettom. .

A critic in the New York Times thus con-' trasts the styles of Mr. Gladstone and Dr. Newman: ‘Both men have much in com-, mon, the same supreme, ethical qualities, the ' same insight, the same sabtle grasp of the! theme, the same delicate sense of the true in- | wardness Of things, the same tendency to broaden particulars into universals, the same breadth of speculative thought, the same de- light in treating any subject from the religious

point of view; but they have nothing in com- | Col | ins’ Geographies | |

mon in point ef style. Mr. Gladstone inverts his sentences, construct them badly, and} shows, as has been admirably said, how a! really great man contrives to get on without | any style at all; while Dr. Newman combines, | in @ manner which is the marvel of ordinary men, the simplest modes of expression with exact, fresh and vigorous thought. Yet such is the value of what Mr. Gladstone usually has to say that you forget the defects of style in the excellence of the thought and in the per- | sonality of the man who utters it.”
