The Temperance Movement.

Dear Sir, —One of the most important affairs in creation is the temperance move- ment. Thinking men are deeply exercised ‘as to the best means by which intemperance can be suppressed. The platform, the pulpit and the press, in many instances, do their share of the work nobly; and yet in spite of every effort, the vice of drunk- enness holds its grip, iike the coils of a serpent, upon a seriously large portion of the community.

To me, it seems the point to be discussed is, not whether the Scott Act, or the new License Act of the Dominion, is the more desirable. [I propose to leave that question alone and take facts just as they are. The Scott Act is, to-day, the law of the Pro- vince. That law is daily and hourly vio- lated. In many localities it is openly and defiantly violated; and yet “we wender at

crime.”

The law is said to punish those who! break it. The thief cannot s‘eal with im-| punity, be discovered, and remain un-| punished. We know of no properly con-! stituted _Government or Society which | would allow such a state of affairs. He} is a criminal, because he is a law-breaker;' just as the rumseller is a criminal, because | he too is a Jaw-breaker. In fact of the two, the rumseller is the greatest thief. The street pad, or the midnight burglar, may rob their victims of a certain portion of their worldly goods, but the rumseller will smile upon you while your money lasts, and rob you of brain and heart, mind, and health, and reputation, and heaven. He will look at your ragged clothes, take your last ten cents, and wear broadcloth. He will deal out that which fires the brain, and then fire his victim out, should he show too plainly the result of his hellish work. Rumsellers can manufacture druuk- ards, but your respectable (?) rumseller wants toseeno drunkardsathisbar. Ifthe customer happens to be —well we will say respectable, and the owner of a respectable purse, possible he may ‘“‘sleep his drunk off” upstairs, but should he just be one of the common sort, he may go to the devil or a police cell, orif he happens to fall off a wagon and break his neck, so much the better, ‘“‘dead men tell no tales.” The wother, the wife, the sister, the daughter and the child, may weep at home, the cry of hunger, but what cares the rumseller / He may be the owner of a gilded bar; fat and slick with the world’s content. His wife, or mother, or sister, or child, know no want. They can appear respectable in silk and feathers, wear a smile, and go to church. A rumseller too can go to charch —God help the church! He will attend regularly, look pious, listen patiently, and | pray, oh how devoutly. He will hear the’ sound of the gospel; the voice of the! church at every service, His clergyman will threaten, warn or entreat, and the rumseller will still sell rum. Yes the law- breaker, this criminal, will perform a cer- tain amount of religious duties, approach the sacraments, and still sellrum. He will visit the chamber of death, and attend the: funeral of his victims; mourn over the loss of agood customer; wind up with a show of sympathy, and exclaim, ‘‘poor fellow, I always told him he was too fond of the drop,” and yet he sold him the ram which dropped him God only knows where; and he will still sell rum. Ah, if it be true that no drunkard can inherit heaven, I should like to know where the despicable wretch will go, who sold himthe stuff which robbed him of his manhood, and doomed his immortal soul.

I have painted the character of the rum- seller, and drawn a picture, a faint picture indeed, of his work. If respectable men, whether total abstainers or not, will only remember, that every time they shake hands with a rumseller, they shake hands with a criminal; that every time they enter his premises, they enter the den of a criminal ; that every time he deals in their stores or pays a bill, he pays with the results of his crime, then the rumseller might begin to find out his true standing in society.

If the Christian Church would unceas- ingly denounce this criminal, refuse him the sacraments and Christian burial, should he persist in his cursed traflic, then perhaps some of them might feel compelied to give that traflic up. After all the voice of the church is stronger than the voice of any human law. The latter speaks only for time; the former for all eternity.

If church-goers would remember that every time they sit in God’s house along- side a rumseller, they are sitting beside a criminal, whom all law-abiding citizens should skun, and act accordingly, then the rumseller would be reduced to his true level, with all other law-breakers.

One fact is undeniable; it should and must be remembered. It is this: The Canada Temperance Act, commonly called the Scott Act, is the chosen law of Prince Edward Island. That law is not enforced. ‘The authorities who should enforce it do not perform their duty. The law is being constantly and defiantly broken and the man or woman who breaks it cannot be other than a criminal. Rumeellers may squirm under the title of criminal just as much as they like—the fact remains all the same; criminal they are; n thing more, aud nothing less; just as much to be avoided ss the thief, or the murderer, and more so to ‘be avoided than the poor, miserable, failen ‘mortal, whose character of drunkard is the direct result of their cursed work. This language may be considered strong, harsh or fanatical, but I care little for that—r7 1s TRUTH.

It must be evident to the reader that I ‘have left unwritten much that is important All | well, I will return to the subject again, but

Amateur Concert at the ‘‘Seaside.”’

‘*ENTHUSIASTIC FIRST NIGHT.”

Tue craze for the first night has even reached Rustico. No small stir and com- motion was created when the announce- ment was make for a first night. Crowds were noticed reading the programme which was posted up in the corridors of the Sea- side Hotel, thereby intimating a well-filled house. ‘kbis omen lInckily proved to be propitions, for long before the hour the wy in the drawing room were all ‘*book- ed.’

A varied collection in figure and face, some young, some old, all content with the place and pleased with each other. It was really the case, and the popular manager actually found himself in the embarrassin position of being unable to keep pace wi the demand for seats. The distinguished company of amateurs who took part in the concert, were of various nationalities, China, Scotland, Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa and Kingston, all sent their various representatives in order to afford pleasure, amusement and instruction to the guests at the Seaside Hotel. The following pro- gramme was submitted to the wuliehion.

‘First Amateur Concert, Seaside Hotel.” 1. Instrumental Solo. 2. Recitation, “Lord G. G. Waterloo.” 3. Aloutle, ‘‘Canadian Song.” 4. Comic and Tragic Iaterlude. 5. Trio with Guitar accompaniment. 6. Instrumental Solo. 7. Mirth provoking dialogue, first ap- pearance of the Chinese dudess. e

It would indeed, be invidious to make individual criticism, but we cannot refrain from stating the important fact, that the palm of the evening was easily carried off by the fair sex.

A very startling innovation was the ap- pearance of the representative from China, in the role of a dudess. In closing this brief sketch of the proceedings, we cannet help saying that the artists thro t, performed their various parts admirably, and we are in duty bound to admit that the first appearance of the company was decidedly crowned with overwhelming success.

Suez Canal Negotiations.

The 7'ribune’s London special says: The agitation against the Suez negotiations has cousiderably waned. Though fury and resentment have geeatly lessened, still it is doubtfnl whether the Government can carry the project. It is be- lieved they will not attempt it unless Sir Charles Rivers Wilson’s overtures to deLesseps result in more favorable financial couditions. The Government refrain from deciding upon their future action till Sir Charles Rivers Wilson’s return. Tney will announce the result on Monday. If, as is now expected, de Lesseps declines the con- cessions, the Government will abandon the scheme. In view of de Lesseps’ refusal, two projects are already in the air. One is to refer the question to a royal commission, and thereby minimize the Ministerial dis- credit; the other proposal is to internation- alize the canal by England financing the arrangement. The chief objections to Mr. Gladstone’s project rest on the legal con- struction of the concessions. ‘The Govern- ment’s view is supported by the Lord Chancellor, Attorney General, Solicitor General, legal advisers of the foreign office, French lawyers and legal advisers of the Khedive. All those authorities agree in declaring that de Lesseps possesses the monopoly to put a canal through the isthmus. A contrary opinion is held by Horace Davey Underwood and Sir Hardings Gifford. The general feeling is that the Government were too hasty in admitting de Lesseps’s monopoly, since wher the canal was projected, a second waterway was never expected, and, therefore, was unpro- vided for in the concessions. The opposi- tion to the Government's scheme originated among the commercial classes, but the Tories are now taking advantage of it, mak- ing the subject a party question. The generai feeling of the country is divided, as it was in the case of the Channel tunnel, but with equal feeling against the project.

Ross remarked sfter the late race that

Hanlan was ‘‘a stall steam engine.”

The fifteenth annual regatta of the North- Western Amateur Rowing Association was held recently at Muskegon, Mich.

The annual regatta of the Mississippi Val- ley Amateur Rowing Association will be held at Pullman, lil. Twenty-seven crews have entered for the four-oared shell race.

There is a suspicion abroad that the Hal- ifax scullers Hamm and Conley, have been ‘playing off” in their recent races with a cre to good betting against Hanlan and

It is said that the reason for Hanlan’s dispiay uf temper at Ogdensburg was that it had come to his knowledge that Courtney had previcusly been boasting in bar-rooms that he would pick a quarrel with Hanlan, and s» get him off his base before the race took place.

A villsge in Styria was recently burned while the inhabi‘ants were absent from their homes,to give @ welcome to the Emperor of Austria. It has been discovered that Irredentists from the Eudine set the village on fire, and five of the incend- iarice have been arrested,
