THE ELECTIONS.

Instructions to Candidates and Agents.

Beinery.—Consists in the giving, or agree

ing to give or lend, or the offering or promis- ing’money or valuable consideration or procur- ing for or promising to procure any oflice, ylace or employment for any voter, or any one on behalf of a voter, in order to indnce any voter to vote or refrain from voting, or on ac count of such voter having voted or refrained frem voting at an election.

TREATING. —*‘ Every candidate who corrupt- ly by himself, or by or with any person or by any other ways or means on his behalf at any time either upon or during any election, di- rectly or indirectly, gives or provides or causes to be given, or is accessory to the giving and providing, or pays wholly or in .part any ex- penses incurred for any meat, drink, refresh ment or provision to or for any person in or- der to be elected, or for being elected, or for the purpose of corruptly influ neing such per- son or any other person to give or refrain from giving his vote at such election, shall be deemed guilty of the offence of treating.”

Unbve INrivEnce.—-Is defined as being the making use of or threatening to make use of any force, violence or restraint, or threatening the infliction of any injury, damage, harm or loss, or im any manner practising intimida- tion upon any person to induce him to vote or refrain from voting or on account of his having voted, or the preventing or interfering with the free exercise of the franchise by abduction, distress, or any fraudulent device or contriy- ance.

Hirnina Ventcies.—The hiring or promis- ing to pay for any horse, team, carriage, etc., by any candidate, or by any person on his be- half to convey voters to or from the poll, or the payment of the travelling and other ex- — of any voterin going to or returning

rom any election, are declared to be unlawful acts.

Personation. —This is also a corrupt prac- tice, and is defined as follows :—‘* Every can- didate who corruptly by himself or by or with any other person on his behalf compels or in- duces or endeavours to induce any person to personate any voter, or take any false oath in any matter wherein an oath is required under the Election Act,” and also ‘‘ any person who at any election applies for a ballot paper in the name of some other person whether such name be that of a person living or dead or of a fictitious person, or who having voted once at any such election applies at the same elec- tion for a ballot paper in his own name.

ConsEQuENCES.—If it is found that any of the above acts has been committed by any candidate at an election or by his agent, whether with or without the actual know- iedge and consent of the candidate the elec- tion of the candidate shall be void.

ff the candidate himself is found guilty, or if amy corrupt act is committed with his knowledge and consent, he is prohibited from sitting in the House of Commons or holding any otfice under the Crown for seven years.

Besides the voiding of the clection, a pen- alty also attaches upon the conviction of either the candidate or his agent for any cor- rupt practice.

AeeENcy.—No writing is essential to the establishment of agency. If a candidate is aware of the fact that any one is canvassing or working for him, and avails himself of that persen’s werk, agency is created, and it is not necessary that the candidate should know that the person is working for him, for know- ledge of that fact will be implied, from various cireumstances, as, for instance, if the person in whom it is sought to establish agency has attended committee or other meetings when the candidate was present, or if he werea delegate at the Convention when the candi- date was nominated. Indeed, the doctrine of agency has been so far extended in England as to include every member of an association when the candidate was the nominee of that Association. It is very hard for a man to work for another at an election and not con- stitute himself an agent.

No party colors or flags are to be used or carried on the day of election or within eight days before the election and no_ ribbons, badges, or favours are to he supplied or worn within the electoral District on the day of polling or within cight days before such a day.

No liquor is to be sold or given at any hotel, tavern, or shop during the polling day.

*No candidate shall at any election, nor shall any other person either provide or fur- nish drink er other refreshment at the ex- pense of such candidate to any elector during such election, or pay for, procure, or engage to pay for any such drink or other refresh- ment.’ Under this section a candidate had better abstain from entertaining voters in his own house subsequent to the issue of the writs. That such should be necessary appears almost absurd, but the section would seem to cover a case of that sort.

All payments (except the personal expenses of the candidate) before, during, or after the election must be made through an agent or

ents whose name and address are to be de- clared in writing to the Returning Officer on or before the nomination day; and any person making any pormens otherwise than through such agent s be guilty of misdemeanour.

The agent is to make out and sign a detailed stitement of all expenses within two months after the election, and to deliver it to the Re- turning Officer.

Service. To the Editor of the Daily Reporter and

Tianes *

Sm,—The Minister of Militia went to the meeting at South East Passage last night, under the protection of a body guard of two volunteers in uniform and with rifles in their hands. These gentiemen as long as they behaved themselves were tolerated; but when Jones attempted to usurp the largest part of the time the people hissed and hooted and would not hear him, where- upon Mr. Jones’ soldiers prepared to use their rifles in his bekalf, but they were soon disarmed and put out of the building, and Jones in a short time was glad to fel- low suit. This was not the only mischief to the Minister. On arriving in Dart- mouth, he found that he was too late for the boat and went to the Post Office. The Postmaster, taking him for a burglar, shied a bottle at his head; but after hearing him address the Recorder recognized the fa- miliar baritone, and went down and took him in. Jones apologized and the Post- master apologized openly, but inwardly wished him at Jericho.

Jones for some time has imagined that he was growing like Bismarck, and has got Baker of the ‘‘ Mayflower” to take his por- trait in the last ‘* Mayflower.” But that wily dog in doing so was cute enough to put the picture of the beautiful P. C. Hill’s

alongside of it. Jones is distributing Hill’s

‘eartoon and his own picture personally | through the rural districts.

SYDNEY COAL.

REDUCTION IN PRICE!

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

Pa. GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA- TLON (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs., a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers,

The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DELP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been regulated by the rates tixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAT, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasting qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compared with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘* EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” ete., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coal as SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sranpAaRD character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties giving orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. ‘The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed upon in this way.

Every vessei loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished witha certificate of the cargo being Sydney Coal. should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal”’ is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark “SYDNEY COAL” are hable to prosecution.
