It is known that a large majority of the liquor party actively assisted in the election of Messre Rogers and Prowse, the Liberal candidates. It is also said that on the day of the Scott Act election, a couple of prominent Liberals: vne Of whom is a high official in the Liberal Association, as well as high in the councils of the party, went to the railway workshops and there demanded of the men in the Government employ that they should vote against the Scott Act. Theee men went to the pollsand dropped their ballots. The voting on the Scott Act resulted, as our readers know, in a strong vote being polled against the Act and 1n its emphatic defeat.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—It is suggested that the Government make Mr. J.I. Tarte goveraor of the Yukon terri tory,—and so get rid of bim.

—The Guardian reports editorially that the liquor sold in Charlottetown is, not- withstanding the fact that the Scott Act * has been done for,” “as bud as ever, if noi worse.” ‘Ye editor seems to know all about it! By the way isn’t the Scott Act still in force !

—-The Patriot says “there is a good time coming for Canadian Farmers.” But it says never a word about “ cold storage ” or “direct steamship communication with Great Britain.” It we do not keep the matter alive now we shall, not unlikely, be overlooked again next year.

—The recent spontaneous combustion of ill-cured hay ina barn in Nova Scotia, and the cousequent loss of barn, h u e:, utensils, etc., ought to be a warning to all farmers to be sure that their hay is pro- perly cured before it is stored.®

—The Guardian says: “The next move of the rum party will be tosecure a license law, to give, if possible an air of “‘respect- ability” tothe rum business which the regulation act fails to clothe it with. Of course there will the usual petition to the legislature, setting forth the desirability of securing a revenue from the trade. Let all good citizens beware of this. The only remedy for the evils of the rum _ buainess iS suppression of the trade. To license it isto encourage the trade. No city was ever yet the better off for receiving into its treasury the price of blood.”

There is a shrewd idea abroad that the new license law that has been promised is to be in the nature of a special tax act applicable to dealers in liquor, and that

desired to know by whose orders and directions the Scott Act warrants referred to were withdrawn? They desire also to know why they were withdrawn ? And they desire to know why they remain unexecut- | ed and whether it is the intention of the authorities to enforce them or not? This the public will not be satisfied until it has been given. So far the person who can give it has remained silent.

The City Council, as a body, on Monday last, denied all connection with the with- drawal of these warrants, and some of the Councillors went further and stated that on no occasion had they ever interfered with the execution of processes issued out of the Magistrate’s Court. While this information from the City Council was very satisfactory to the citizens, and iodeed to the public at large, as this is not a local matter, but of general interest, it was at once seen that the repudiation came from the wrong parties because the public know that according to the City Charter, the administration of the criminal laws in this city is vested not in the City Council, but in the Stipendiary Magistrate who also hae by statute, full and exclusive control of the police officers. Therefore any interference by the Councillors in these matters would be entirely out of placeand of no effect, and would, we assume, be very properly resented by the Magistrate. The proper person therefore, to give the explanation and information demanded by the press, as representing the public, is the Stipendiary Magistrate, who, it is to be hoped, will comply with the public wish without any further delay.

It is notorious that the parties against whom these warrants are outstanding, are running at large in the city, plying their nefarious business in full blast, while no attempt is being made to interfere with them either by executing the recalled warrants or by convicting them under the Regulation Act. There surely must be some way of punishing them. It is rumored that at the house kept by one of the returned convicts, if not by two of them, the noise and disorder became so great a few nights ago, that the policemen

point of view. The San Francisco Argonaut ha3 a rare story in confirmation ofthe fact. When A!psonse Daudet produced“Sappho” Messrs. Fuok Wagnalls offered a large sum for advance sheets of the novel. Upon receipt of tbese they concluded not to iwsne the book and cabled the author, “ ‘Sapho’ will not do.” The despatch greatly puzzi- ed Daudet; he did not dream that the cha racter of the work, his masterpiece, was in question. Therefore he consulted friends, and one more wise suggested that the difficulty was orthographical—the title being spelled in French with one “p, following the Greek precedent. Greatly relieved, Daudet cabled back to the pub- lishers, “Spell it with two p’s.”? Where- upon there resulted mestification on the other side of the water.

—Abu Hamid,the objective point for the present of the Anglo-Egyptian advance up the Nile, has been captured after some sharp fighting. Its conquest is, in its way, more important than last year’s occupa- tien of Dongola. It was one of the points of attack of the Wolseley expedition of 1884-85, but just when the River Column was preparing for the advance that was expected to end in its capture, the order of recall was received. Gordon was dead and the Desert Column in immediate danger. This time, if not better planned, the work has been completed, and a clear way open- ed for the advance on Khartoum and

The Minister of Justice has declined to interfere with the sentence of James Wood, of Nelson, B. C., condemned to be hanged for murder.

—The Simcoe Reformer continues its good work of showing up the corruption and rascality of the Laurier-Tarte combin- ation. And, in a late issue in answer to Mr.

Parte’s command to “shut up,” it replies ;

for the stand we have aken has come to the office from many parts of Canada. We believe that tens of

thousands of ola line liberals will agree with us, and we can assure the Hon. J. I. Tarte that his simple denial of the La Patrie story will not suffice. He should have foliowed up his denial with some- thing more to the point than halfa yard of abuse of this paper. The Reformer was nehting the battles of the liberal party when Mr. Tarte was squeezing government contractors for ammunition with which to destroy it, and it is likely to be still fighting

ment, nor have we any cause to be fearful of his journalistic thuneer, so carefully reproduced by the impartial Globe. As we said io the beginniag, the La Patrie yur Chase is only au incident. The case against the government is thet the bargain for the purch ‘the Drummoud County railway was ia the main corrupt, that cer-

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Montreal Star: The Canadian Govern- ment should not be one of those who lose money over the Klondyke affair. The Government “claim” should be, at least, self-sustaining.

Montreal Gazette: Articles are appear- ing in the Liberal press advocating the appointment of a resident Canadian agent at Washington. What statesman feels himself in need of a job?

The London Economist of July 31 says: The condition of the money market bas not appreciably altered during the past week, and alhough the approach of the end of the month has had some alight hardening influence that has been shown rather in the tone of the market than in quotations. For three months’ bills the rulivg quotation is 13-16 per cent., which is the Fame as when we last wrote, and it is Only for six months’ paper that the rate has slightly advanced. The likelihood of shipments of gold being made to the United States later on is still being discussed, and as to that no definite Opinion can be expressed. Al! that can be said is that for the present there is no indi; cation of such a movement,—on the con- trary, gold is still being shpped from the States to this side, the American banks have more than usually ample funds at their disposal and gold is being sent to America from Australia. These are not conditions that point to the probability of gold having to be sent hence to the States, at all events to any large amount; but of course the conditions may alter Jater on.
