Where is the Report ? »

‘Enquiries have reached us ing the final report of the commissior appointed to enquire into the alfairt of the Land ofiice. The report». “" understand, was rendered to thy 09*’ ernment last September, and it is higl time that it_was published and place! in the hands of the public Of couriv it will be laid on the table of the House in the spring, but the publl have a right to it before then, as the) will have to pay for it—-and prett)

dearly too.

One Kind of Electors

I-x srirs of all that is being written- and said in relation to the question oi the retention or non retention of the Scott Act, it is wonderful how unin- formed some of the opponents of the Act are——men, too, who would be ex-

ted to have an intelligent idea ol the issue. This is the more surprising in view of the fact that the liquo- trsflic «if-ects every single individual ii- thg ¢ommuiill._V directly 0!’ llldll‘!-\Ci.l_\‘ Hence it is surelv not too much tv expect that at least, those who on credited with being tnoughful, wouln take a practical interest in the ni.'itt_c-- to bedicided and consider it on it.- merits. An insta-ice of the trut hen atatgd ioolrplace a day or two. ago, when a prominent citizen entered our ofice and declared that he did not even know what the papers were arguing ab-nut. This gentleman we are sure will not vote for the Scott Act. Such culpable indifference is highly reprehensible.

——<-e~>——

~ The Rumsellefs Brief.

Repeal’ the Scott. Act and we will fl)0d the city with the vilest concoc- ti_ous conceivable.

We will keep open house for young men and boys on the plea of providing a means whereby they may spends happy hour. We will rob them of their manhood, of their will, and of their motley.

We will see-that they have a good. time, but we must not be -blamed if when they become obtrusive or violenv we “ throw them out into the street.”

We will do our b-at to make money ; nor will it cost us a thought if to effect our purpose we rob wives, mothers and sisters, of that which of right belongs to them.

We will provide the — jail oflcials with plenty of work and the cells with inmates. ”

We will stop the progress of relig- ion in the soul, and, so far as we are able, close the doors of the churches. We will pledge ourselves to do more injury and to work more mischief in Charlottetown than has ever been known before, nor will-we hesitate to take [every advantage of those who may come within our power.

This and a great deal more will we do should the Scott Act be repealed at the forthcoming election. Vote for

"destruction, ruin, and degradation— vote for us.

-——--¢oos&—-—— ‘ Archbishop Clcary on the Inde- pendence ot‘ Catholics.

The editor of the Canadian Free man, a Roman Catholic journal, is a bold and courageous writer, ind. WV may add, an enlightened man._ But he has had the misfortune to incur the condemnation and arouse the some whatsbarp ire of Archbishop Cieary by a recent. frank utterance on the independence of free men. The Free- man’s editor wrote :—- g —

"The general dilfusioii of education nmong the masses has brought about a complete change in the relation between the common people and the church and state. Formerly the tempersl rulers in the slate and the educated clergy in the church exercised is peculiar and com- manrlmg influence over the uneduc.-it..d masses, but no .» all this is clian-zed, and the latter h -ld in their liarids the power and influence formerly wield-d‘ by the former. The consequence is that an edu- cated common pa--plo no longer allow themselves to be looked upon as so many no-nenlities in either church or state, and on every proper occaszon tli -y assert, in no umneaning terms, the mauli-.od and

, independence of freeman. The fact is, a mere blind and uureasoning submission to authority is no longer the rule b_ut the exception. The people demand and in- 3|5l’- Upon. and we think justly so, the reason of things, and if. the reason given does not prove convincing to their intel- l°°l" "iii. ‘:50! filmy laugh to scorn the would-be dictator a petty tyrant." _

-gainst God's church and the reproach if scandalous deicliction of _ my psi- roral duty." Continuing His Grace invitesattention to what he considers “most glaringly erroneous and con- gumpfloug pgggagm, in which tllfi Sill)- atance and spirit of the whole article

are embodied." One of these passages. he says, reads as follows :-

"The consequence is that an educated common people no longer allow themselvi-s -0 be looked upon as so many noucntitics ‘ii either church or state, and on every proper occasion they assert. in no un- rneaniug terms the manhood and inde- oenduice offreemcn.” . V Thepregnant words in italics are the Arclibishop’s special dislike. In the emphatic condemnation which fol lows the indignant ecclesiastic ex- claims :'——

“ Who has ever heard of the Catholic church treating the children as ‘nonun- .-ot_ies,' and crushing out their ‘ manho--d and independence of freeinenl It shall no lon r‘ be allowed, says your article .-1-imr, When has it ev.-rnr anywhere '>e-~n done or attempted’?

These statements on the lips of so distinguished a prelate of their Cburcl= should be well weighed by our Roman Catholic brethren in view of the forth- coming Scott Act election. Arch- bishop Cleary, it would appear, would he the first to applaud them for exer 'ising the freedom of their opinions ind nlwving the dictates of their con

Gen. Booth not the Author.

LONDON, Dec. 26. -——The Times announc :- rhat C-onimissioner Smith, of the Salva- tion Army, has resigned. His resignation, the paper says, “ at this critical period in 'he history of the Army is most inpnrtant, b cause Mr. Smith formed the one

businesslike ell’ -rt would be made to test the pmctic bility of General B-voth's sch--meof social regeneration The secret -sutliwrship of ‘In Darkest England‘ is now common knowl--dge, but the charit- -ble hy th--sis assigns I0 Clrneral Booth the c it for having written at least two cnapters of the book General Bo:-th's -explanation is that he supplied a pru- fessional waiter with the material for the work. The question whether General Bo-nth under these circumstances was justilied in allowing the book to appear as if written by himself is one of the literary ethics whersuntn we have no right to expect Gem-r.l Booth to enter. “'0 believe that when the whole story is revealed it will be found that the subs- tantial parts of the scheme of city and farm colonies originated with Mr. Smith. General Booth, reluctantly accepting these statements, asserts that the ground of did’-:reuce between Mr. Smith and himself is that while Commissioner Smith always held that it was absolutely necessary to keep the social working scheme is distinct as possible from the religi--us work of the Salvation Army, Gen.

Those who promised donations are now enabled to withhold them uiitila full and satis- factory account of Mr. Smith's resigna- tion isgiven. He was the life and soul of the social reform wing of the Army. It is likely his resignation iad--stined to be the death-blow to General Booth's more ambitious schemes.”

A New Industry.

A London correspodnent writes:-

Chinese Prohibition.

“Let the man who iiitroduced intoxi- cating liquor into China be exiled from beyond our frontier, and let him in-Vt!‘ be permitted to return. Si spoke the sage Emperor who ruled the destinies on the Celestial Empire four thoiiswiid years ago. To this wholesome warning and brave example is due the comparative so- brieiy of the Chinese people. Hundreds of centuries later. when Great Britain attempted to pur~uade the Chi ese gov- ernment to localize the no um trufiiv, the Emperor's noble reply was. “ It is true I ~.-annotprovcnt the intrmluction of this -ison. Gain-seeking and corrupt me-

will, for profit and sensu:il=ty, def:-a‘ my wishes: but nothing will induce me to derive a revenue from the vice and misery --f my p-rople." L'lt~-Tllllfl br.-we emperor was obliged to submit to the lljgllllbtl-l~-I
