the many difficulties im getting a good catch of large mackerel with a seine. In my humble opinion, seiners should not stay out long in a scarce season, because the chances lessen very much as the season | advances, and more so if dark, blustering
intoxicatirg liquors. We can only say, we attended the teas in question, and not being sufficiently suspicious to examine their drinks, we concluded, by the utter absence of drunkenness and disorder, that those offered for sale were as harmless in their effects as the incoherent declarations of your gushing correspondent.
His statement that not a member of our , Lodge has ever assisted in a Scott Act pro- secution, or would do so if required, is, to say the least, but a shelving and sickly reply to our former assertion ** that he has ilways shown his sympathy forthe rum- selling fraternity by never assisting in their prosecution,” &c. As his powers of recol- lection are exceedingly feeble, and his iiability to err so wonderfully apparent, we would ask him why it isso universally acknowledged that our most successful Scott Act prosecutors were Messrs. Lane and Mellish, of Fidelity Lodge, while the same much envied institution has also sup- plied its proportion of magistrates and con- stables, who have materially assisted in vindicating the supremacy of the law, not- withstanding the inveterate opposition of chronic grumblers and newspaper bluster- ers, who have always derived their inspira- tion from Junar variation and certain at- iauspheric pressure,
He has also stated that our reputation as a real temperance worker is inconsistent with the present amount of drunkenness in the country. He might as angumentative- lly asserted that the existence of slavery,
;
| ignorance and idolatry in the continent of j Africa speaks volumes against the various ‘mission boards and philanthropic societies iso busily engaged in the elevation of that | portion of mankind. His dastardly at- itempt to villify and misrepresent our most i prominent members” does not call for a \contradiction in this community; and ad- lmitting, forthe sake of argument, that a inember or twe has violated his obligation jsince the fall of 1883, should the main ‘body of our association be destroyed for ‘the iniquity of one. Reductio ad absurdum.
We emphatically reiterate our statement
that the non-enforcement of the Scott Act at | Montague is due to the sluggishness of the Inspector, coupled with the inactivity of the legally commissioned officials of that village, but why the ** entire responsibility ‘of enforcing the Scott Act” should devolve | upon the magistrates and officers of Fidelty | Lodge ** is not made apparent.”
By imputing to us the most sordid mo- tives for our benevolence, he nas again ‘shown his inability to give a straightfor- 'ward reply to our previous assertion, that his pecurfiary assistance has always been as **slender” as his benevolence, and both have seldom exceeded the ‘truly magnifi- ‘cent sum” of nothing. In fact, his letter from beginning to end is in perfect har- ieny with the niggardly seutiment con- tained in the following lines from Lucil- ; lius:
| Envy is vile, but play a usefulpart, Torturing, in envious men, both eye and heart.” In conclusion, we would express OUT ap- preciation of the valuable space allotted us in your widely circulated journal, in whieh
