LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Scott Act.
Sir, —‘* Faith,” in your issue of the 6th inst., is greatly at error when he says that the liquor interest of our city are again
‘agitating for the repeal of the Scott Act. ‘Now, much controversy has already taken place on this subject, but little notice has been taken of one very important fact, and ‘at the present time this very fact stands more conspicious before us than ever.
‘* Faith,” and all supporting his or her | Views must bring themselves to thoroughly ‘appreciate this fact, which is, in short,
that while citizens with such temperance views as can brook no discussion, support ithe Scott Act, they are working hand in |glove with perhaps hundreds in this city who are to-day running shanties of the lowest description under the kindly Scott Act. These characters, by the aid of ballot voting, will, as a body, undeniably vote for the Act. A license means the destruction of their little business, and although the/ Scott Act may at times reach thém, it can never pretend to root them out. One would imagine thai this fact, plainly de- monstrated, would cause a revulsion among all supporters of the Act. | ‘* Faith” may say, ‘‘ We want another trial for the Act ” Has not Charlottetown, to its sorrow, given it too many trials? Or: perhaps he may say, ‘‘ Only give us a City Council in favor of enforcement.” This is the old story. Have we not had, year after year, a Council in favor ofenforcement, and in full sympathy with the Act. Have we not had in full force for years the whole machinery of law in its support! And what to show for it? Next to nothing as far as controlling the sale of liquor goes. Nor can * Faith,” even in his or her most enthusiastic moments, guarantee any more than has been done in the past. Even supposing that those ‘‘ Faith” detested publicans and sinners, who years ago kept respectable and well-conducted houses, should on their own behalf and for. the credit of Charlottetown move for the repeal of the Act, they would not only have to face on one hand the united wrath of all tem- perance people, but on the other hand would have to deal with the worst type of charac- ter in the shape of the little huckster of bad whiskey. Between two fires is it likely they will move in the matter of repeal.
Now, Mr. Editor, permit me to ask ‘* Faith” whether he or she, or any other temperance man or woman, will pretend to
array their judgment against that of the temperance people of Ontario and other parts of Canada who in repealing the Scott Act simply revoked their previous blunder. Finding the Act incapable of controlling drunkenness, they rose ‘‘en masse” and repealed it. Is not the case applicable to P. E.Island? Certainlyso! And although many will be found in favor of the Act yet, chief among whom figure the class against which the Act was supposed to be directed, still I have no doubt that our citizens, being enlightened as io the true condition of things, and having proved the worthlessness of the Act, will decide on the lesser of two evils, pure alcoholic liquors under a _ strict liceuse system, or free home-made poison. What more strong argument can I present to them than this ; that they have been and are keeping these iniquitous dens to keep in existence an Act destructive of public sobriety and morality. J
Sir.—Now that steps are about to be taken to have the repeal of the Scott Act submitted to the people at the polls, and as several letters have appeared in your paper for and against its repeal, it is right that the citizens should have the matter venti- lated through the press before voting. Any person who has given this matter the small- est consideration must know that as far as curtailing the sale of liquor, suppressing intemperance and the reclaiming of the drunkard, the Act has been a complete failure. It is well to remind those who wish to have the Act retained, that it is not the rum men who are anxious for its repeal, thet with very few exceptions the rum party want the present state of things to continue. Should we be so unjortunate as to have the Act sustained for another three years, it will be because the ballots of the majority of the rum party and the sticklers for the Act are markedthe same way. The supporters of the Act cry out ‘*Oh! the Act is all right; the trouble is that it is not enforced as it should be.” What folly this is, After ten years’ trial and backed up for the last three years by a paid Prosecutor the state of things is actually worse than it ever was in this city. There is more rum sold and sold by the worst class of men in ourcommunity. Men lost to all senseof mor- ality and justice now deal out the fiery fluid. If any of the supporters of the Act doubt what I say, let them go into the Prothono- tary’s office and ask to see the pleadings in several liquor suits that have lately been contested in our courts. They will find the written pleadings put in by these very rum men who are so anxious to have the Act retained, and who are rowing in the same boat with the supporters of the Act;—they will find recorded the honest plea that this was a Scott Act city, thereby completely preventing the creditor from p i any further towards recovering his claim. This is the stamp of men who putin the pleas mentioned herein that want the Act retained. Not content with making every cent they own by selling liqnor unlawfully, they turn around and tell the man who supplied them with liquor that they could not pay him because this is a Scott Act town. Isit not time that wedid some- thing to drive such characters back to the trades that they abandoned in order to sell rum? Let us have the election, and wipe

The City Sehools Again.
Sirn,—in my first letter, for ‘* bold asser- tion” read ** bald assertion.”
I do not wish to prolong discussion upon this question; but as you are pl to plead ** not guilty” to the soft impeach- ment with which you were charged, permit me to offer a few further remarks, I shall endeavor to make my position clear by way of illustration.
The most elaborately executed, the most
highly finished and most perfect oil paint- ings, when viewed from certain positions, will present to the beholder a very imper- fect picture, ora mere daub without either expression or even outline ; or the art critic inay be prejudiced against the artist, and then he will see many flaws—at least flaws to him ; or he who sits in judgment on the painting as a work of art may passjsentence upon the artist, whilst the judge himself knows little or nothing of what constitutes the merits of the work. He is, therefore, disqualified from passing judgment. (There are some critics to whom this might refer. Ido not include you, Mr. Editor, in the list). There are, at least, three conditions necessary in judging of the merits of a painting: (1) The art critic should be qualified to express an opinion; (2) he should give his criticism without prejudice ; (3) the proper light should be permitted to fall upon the work. Neither the artist nor his work can be fairly judged when any one of these conditions fail. Transfer the illustration to the work of the city teachers. Let us demand that the same conditions be present, and with these I think it will be found that as a class they are workmen that need not be ashamed.
The editor said: ‘* it has puzzled many persons to find a cause for the fact that, with every favorable circumstance, * * * the scholars of the City Schools have not stood the test of the annual competitive ex- aminations as well as scholars who come from the country.” Again, you contradict the statement which you were charged with having made, ‘‘ that the city schools were inferior to those of the country.” ‘* We only stated the fact that the pupils of ihe City Schools have not been so successful in examinations as those of the country schools.”
I readily admit, Mr. Editor, that you should be the best interpreter of your own utterances, but permit me to give the in- ference drawn by me from your remarks. You state it as a fact that the pupils of the City Schools have not been so successful in examinations as those of the country schools.” If such can be proved to be a fact, then the inference is that the City Schools are inferior to those of the country, for that which stands the test the best is assuredly the superior article. It is at this point that I take issue with the editor. I claim the opposite of your statement to be fact. My position is this: Farmer A has a yield of sixty bushels of wheat to an acre, while farmer B has a return of eighty-eight. It is observable, hewever, that some of the grains of A’s wheat are somewhat larger than those of B’s. The quality in other re- spects being regarded in both cases at least equal, which is the more successful farmer? That the grain in the first case is somewhat fuller than in the latter is no proof of bet- ter cultivation—this is shown by the extra yield—but it merely shows the difference in the kinds of wheat. The reader will readily see the analogy.
Again ; two pieces of quartz are brought tothe crusher. It is noticed that the piece A contains afew larger nuggets of gold than the piece B. On being crushed, and afterwards submitted to the crucible, Ais found to contain 60 per cent. of gold, while B contains 88 per cent. Which piece of quartz was the more valuable? These cases are analogous to the question under discussion. At the last competitive examination, the country schools gave 60 per cent. under the crucible and winnowing process, whilst the city schools gave 88 per cent.
Many other points might be advanced which would tell to the advantage of the city schools, but my paper has already ex- tended to too great length. Ithall there- fore forbear from offering further remarks ; but may be permitted to say that, while I think the editor has made a mistake in speaking of the status of the city schools, I cannot in justice refuse to acknowledge his generosity, in his, otherwise, favorable expressions of opinion of uhe city teachers ; from which circumstance the individual who figured in the editorial column of the Patriot might, without any discredit to himself, learn a lesson.
