PRE RIE a CRE OEE AA ISR? __eo-e-+ beeu spared. The Grit M. P. of King’s on the Franchise. We observe that Dr. McIntyre, M. P., has lately been trying to enlighten the House on the Franchise Bill. He told his hearers that there are two sets of Frauchises in this Province, one for the Legislative Council and the other for the House of Assembly. The Franchise for ihe Legislative Council, he said, is that each elector shall hold freehold or lease- hold property to the amount of $324, adding: “He is not required to have any other qualification.” If he had taken the trouble to refer to 25 Vic., chap. 18, sec. 7, of our Revised Statutes, he would have discovered that this is not all that is required to qualify an elector, as the law declares that the elector shall have been <n possession ef his property a period of at least twelve calen- dar months previous to the teste of the writ of election. But while we are prepared to pass this over as an omission on his part, we can- not let his statements, in re the qualifi- cation of voters for the Lower House pass so easily. Inu attempting to define the qualification of this set of voters he blundered badly, for he forgot all about the properly qualification of electors eu- titling them to vote for members of the House of Assembly, and thus gave the impression to the House that our local members are elected solely by Statute labor voters. And even in this particu- lar he blundered, or otherwise wilfully mis-stated the facts, asserting that: “On the production of receipt showing that the labor has been performed, or on pay- ment of money at the polis (italics are ours) he is entitled to vote. This system has been in force in Prince Edward Island for the last twenty years and has given the greatest possible satisfaction to all classes.” By referring tc our election laws—24 Vic., chap. 34, sec. 12, last part of sec- tion—it will be found that every person claiming to vote by virtue of his statute labor qualification shali have resided in the polling division in which he shall claim to vote twelve calendar months next before the ‘este of writ of election, and shall produce to the returning officer, if required so to do by him, a receipt or certificate in writing, subscribed with the name of the overseer of statute labor, testifying that such person hath duly performed all such statute labor, or paid all such commutation money, as by law he became liable to pay or perform at any time within twelve months next before the teste of the said writ of election.” It will be seen that there is not a word in this about electors paying the commu- tation money at the polls. The Statute Labor Act directs that the work on the roads shall be performed ata stated period in each year, and so it is also with the commutation money. Accord- ing to the law, it should be paid at a given time, and not left unpaid till the day of an election. Paying it at the polls is a very objectionable way indeeé, and we are surprised that the hon. member for King’s, in view of what occurred his in county at the last Domiuion election, should “give himself away’ by stating that the money which gives certain electors the right to vote, is paid at the polls. It is unnecessary to further refer to the speech in question. The few sen- teaces quoted above will give our read- ers an idea of the entire productio , which, to say the least of it, is not one of the Doctor’s most brilliant efforts. . <2 +o. + The Contest in Ward 1. —- Mr. Curtis was eiected on Saturday by the narrow majority of fifteen. It is needless to say that this result is not what Tae Examiner desired. But we readily bow to the will of the majority, and trust that the cause of progress and reform in the town will not suffer materially. Mr. Curtis owes his election to his active personal cauvass of the Ward, and to the fact that,in the course of his canvass, he assured electors who favor the introduction of waterworks and other improvements that he was on their side. So that instead of lamenting a de- feat, the Progressionists may copgratu- late themselves ou having gained a very notable convert. Mr. Curtis is a true- born Englishman, and having gained the object of his ambition, be will, we be- Hiving the Debtors. The Legislature of Manitoba have passed an Act which ought to have the effect of *thiving” all who run into debt and do not care to pry inthat delightful provivee and making Winnipeg a_ city adroitness enough to get safely seitled in Maniteba. ‘The Act referred te takes from erediiors the right to ci train for:— L.

The necessary food for the judgement debtor and his family during sixty days, provided however, that such exemption shall only apply to such food and provisions as may be in his possessions at the time of seizure. 5. Two cows, three oxen, or three horses or mules, four sheep, two pigs, twelve fowls and ford for t).e same for sixty days, provided, however that such exemption as to horses shall apply only in case they are used by the judgment Jebtor in earning his living. : 6. The tools, agricultural implements and the necessaries used by the judgment debtor in the practice of his trade, profes- sion or occupation, to the value of S5C0. 7. The articles and furniture necessary to the performance of religious services. 8. The land upon which the defendant or his family actually resides or which he caliivater, either wholly or in port, or which he »actually uses for grazing or other pur- poses, provided the same be not more than one hundred and aixty acres; in case it may be more the surplus may be sold subject to any lien or encumbrance thereon; said one hundred and sixty acres must be outaide the limits of any city or town. 9. The house, stables, barns and fences of judgment debtor's farm; subject, how- over, as aforesaid. 10. All the necessary seeds of various varieties of roota for the poorer seeding and cultivation of 80 acres. 11. The actual residence or house of any person other than a farmer, in any city, town or municipality, provided the same does not exceed the value of $2,500, and if the same does exceed the value of $2,500, then, before such residence or house shall be sold, the sum of $2,500 shall be paid to or secured to the person whose residence or house is so to he sold, which said sum, or the security therefor, or any security in which the same may thereafter be invested, shall be exempt from seizure under execu. tion, garnishee or attachment for debt Sec 12. The judgment debtor shall be entitled to a choice from the greater quan- tity of the same kind of articles which are hereby exempted from se‘zures. DAML Pies ielmmpen lah ont idinanen Charlottetown Public Building. (llansard, June 8.) Mr. Burpee (for Mr. Weldon) asked : Has any contract been entered into for the construction of the new Dominion Building at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island } If eo, who is the contractor? What was the amount of his tender? What is the amount to be paid under the contract ? Has the Department of Public Worka per mitted such contractor to use stone differc it from that required in the advertisement or epecification for tenders ? Sir Hector Langevin.-—The contractor is Thomas ©. Oonnor, of Moncton; the amount of contract is $57,397 ; the amount to be paid on the contract is the amount of the tender ; the contract was signed op the 13th April, 1885. The specifications-called for ‘‘ reddish brown sandstone,” equal in quality and color to a sample exhibited at Charlottetown and Ottawa, which was obtained from Cumberland County, N. S. The stone submitted and approved is from River John, N. B., and is quite equal in every respect, if not finer in quality and color, and is therefore in accordance with the specification. <> + Swirt Wineep Justice.—The Intercolonial Railway police, ander Inspector Skeffington, are kept very busy. Recently a man named Desmond, arrestel for placing an ebstruction on the track near Windsor, was sentenced to ten years in the Dor- chester Penitentiary. Another man named Pation was sentenced to 15 years for the same offerce on the Windsor Branch Alad named DeRuocher, charged with ob- structing the line near Memramcook, was tricd last week, but jury disagreed— only one being for conviction, the others were all for acquittal, The accused will probably remain in gaol till next term of the County Court when ne will be again tried A man arrested near Charlo for placing a rail across the track is nowin gaol at Dalhousie awaiting trial in July next. Six rowdies were recent- ly arrested at Amherst for mk'ng the station their fighting ground: several at Rogersville for cutting the inspector’s marks off sle»pers to get them counted twice and defraud the railway; several hoys for throwing stones at St. Thomas, and a man at Point Levis for stealing freight.
