To the Editor of the Euaminer.

Sir, —How long are the citizens to cry out for a ‘Prison Discipline and Hard Labor Act”? And how long will the Magistrate be compelled to listen to the sound of his own voice sending up vagrants, thieves and ruf- tians (rendered more brutal and treacherous from long immunity from fitting punishment), for short terms, with free board and lodging. week after week, till the monotony of the sen- tences, ‘‘ $2 or fourteen days,” ‘‘ three months with hard labor,” is as wearisome to the Mag- istrate as it is dangerous to the community ? The instinct of these jail birds tells them ‘*there is no place like jail.” It is their home or ‘‘town residence” where they put up as guests of the Government, and have an easy time of it. As long as this is the case crime will be on the increase. But add real hard labor to their sentence, i. ¢., working in chain gangs, mending our gutters, or doing the city scavenging at the tailof acart. Being thus compelled to do what they have such an an- tipathy for, i. e., Worx, they will havea dis- taste for committing those unprovoked as- saults, etc., which will entail on them months of hard labor.

We have some hardened brutes infesting the town whose natural delight is to treacherously assault and maim unsuspecting, unoffending citizens, who seem to have the same fiendish enjoyment in bloodsheed as the young mur- derer Pomeroy. McCloskey is one of these. Only a short time ago the citizens were startled by reading of an unprovoked assault on an extremely quiet citizen, since deceased. This scoundrel McCloskey struck him on the chest with a stone. How much this may have hastened his untimely death, we know not. Shortly before he breke into Mr. Cuningam’s house and treacherously assaulted him. A few days ago, without tive slighest provocation, he stretched almost lifeless a young man in Mr. McEachern’s store by a blow from a bottle he had stolen from the counter and was run- ning off with when the young man tried to stop him. Last night about 8 o'clock a young man went out of his way to violently jostle against me. I turned round and went to see who he was (McCloskey again !) when he suddenly made a violent blow at my face and head with a bottle. If I had not been as quick in guarding it off as I was, [ would now be laid up with a broken head or marked and disfigured for life. How pleasant that would feel [ leave to the experience of the citizens;

offence, he will be arround again with the same bottle, incurably full himself but the bottle empty. Yours truly, S, D. FivzGERALD.

Common and Royalty:

~ ENTLEMEN,—Having been nominated at a large meeting of merchants, me- chanics, farmers, and other electors of Char- lottetown, Common and Royalty, representing both parties in Dominion politics, to run in conjunction with Mr. L. H. Davies, for the Local Legislature, | beg to state that I have accepted the nomination.

If elected my best efforts will be directed to have the Law for the Registration of Voters so amended that no elector may be deprived of his privilege as a British subject, in recording his vote. I 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 with- in the revenue, without resorting to direct taxation; and any measures having for their object the reduction of the taxes, or the repeal of the Assessment Act, if that be found pos- sible, will have my willing support. The state of the Provincial finances, as well as the depressed condition of all branches of trade, demand the strictest economy and retrench- ment. Certain members of the present Gov- ernment having declared their intention to place Charlottetown under the Assessment Act, I shall strenuously oppose any such measure. That Act was placed upon the Statute Book to defray the expenses of main- taining the roads and bridges of the country. The City taxes itself for that purpose, and it is, therefore, unjust that it should be compelled to contribute to aservice from which it derives no benefit.

Charlottetown contributes largely to the general revenue by its consemption of duitable goods. This revenue is repaid the Province in the shape of subsidy. ‘The subsidy is also largely made up by the 80 cents per head of the population. it will, therefore, be my duty to see that Charlottetown gets a fair share of the Revenue thus derived.

Any measures having in view the improves ment of the position of the Mechanics of this my native city, and the protection of their indus- try by the adoption of a just Lien Law, will, I need hardly say, have my warmest support, whilst at the same time I shall endeavor to see that the rights and interests of ot er classes are in no way infringed upon.

Having had an experience of upwards of 25 years in business, I claim to have some know- ledge of the wants of the people. If elected, my best endeavors shall be put forth to

romote their interests. My motto is country first, party afterward, and fair play to all. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, THOMAS MORRIS, Charlottetown, March 31, 1879.

To the Electors of Charlottetown, | To the Electors of Charlotte-

town, Common and Roy alty:

Ga EN,— Having, at a large and influential meeting ot the Liberal-Con- servative klectors of Charlottetown, Common and Royalty, been nominated a Candidate for your sutfrages at the coming General Election, i have accepted the nomination, and now solicit your support for myself, as also for my colleague, the Honorable Neil McLeod.

In tie late Government, as a Free School man, I performed that which I considered to be for the true interests of all classes, by assist- ing to place on our Statute Books a thoroughly non-sectarian School Act. This Act, although it may—-like most others —require amendment, has, I am pleased to believe, proved generally acceptable to every class and creed in the Province, and all now cheerfully agree that its non-sectarian principle must be kept m- violate.

I rejoice that the harsh line of reiigious party differences has been obliterated, and that all denominations can henceforth stand shoulder to shoulder for the purpose of striv ing in unison to carry out such measures of economy and retrenchment in the Administra- tion of Governmental affairs as the changed as- pect of commercial and other business matters in the Province have rendered absolutely necessary.

Should I have the honor to be returned to the Assembly as one of your representatives, an object of mine shall be to meet all reason- able and honest endeavors that may be made to lessen the burthen of taxation, which, in the present state of general financial depres- sion, is undoubtedly necessary; and to aid any legitimate legislation that may tend to the well-being of every class in the commun- ity, and particularly of mechanics, who, as a body, through their own magnanimity, have not in the Assembly a representative from among themselves.

1 have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, G. W. DrBLOIs. Ch'town, March 20, 1879.--he pres ar ne 2i

House of Assembly of this Province, in con-

junction with your late representative Mr,

George Wastie DeBlois, I solicit your support

and influence in behalf of Mr. DeBlois and my

self at the approaching General Election.

Should you dame the honor of returning me as your representative, 1 shall consider it my duty to guard your interests in Parlia- ment, by advocating such measures as will most conduce to your prosperity.

In times like the present, of financial and commercial depression, | will advocate mea- sures of economy and retrenchment in every branch of the public service in order to re lieve the vaxpayers as much as possible,

Believing that the interests of the mechanics require some consideration at the hands of the Legislatire, | shall deem it my duty to ad- vocate all legitimate measures that will tend to promote their welfare.

I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, NEIL McLEOD. Charlottetown, March 2], 1879.
