AUGUST 19,

Notes and Comments.

We learn that Mr. Unsworth is now having fitted up for use upon the Cape Traverse Baanch railway, 4 first-class car

f divided into four compartments :—({1) for

baggage; (2) for second-class passengers; (3) for a smoking room; and (4) for first- class passengers. The latter will hold

i the seats will be

twelve passengers and cushioned precisely as on Other first-class cars, and every necessary accommodation is provided.

Halifax Herald :—The grit newspapers find excellent material in the Manitoba school difficulty for their peculiar arts. They are busy telling their Greenway allies in Manitoba to go right along, and make things as uncomfortable for the Catholics as possible, while they are just as busy calling on the Reman Catholics of Quebec to rush to the rescue of their compatriots in Manitoba. With one breath they de- mand of the Dominion Government im- mediate steps towards remedial legislation, and with the very next threaten it with Oatario vengeance if it atterapts anything of the kind. Such is gritism.

—The good work done by the Dominion Government in promoting the dairy inter- ext has directed attention to pvasibilities which were being neglected. An instance of this is afforded by the Cumberland, N.S., Leader, which says: ** Cumberland county was once famous for its butter, and helped to supply other parts of the province, but now it does not produce enough for home consumption, and tons of butter, to say nothing of cheese, have to be imported to supply our towns and villages. Some fof our farmers complain of the want of a mar- ket, and pin their hopea on reciprocity, unrestricted free trade or commercial union, but it is very evident that in dairy pro- ducts, at least, they are no* able to supply the home demand. In some parts of Nova Scotia, notably in Antigonish and a few other places, farmers are awaking to the importance of the dairying iidustry, and it is to be hoped that their example will prove infectious and their success be an incentive to farmers in other parts of the province.”

- It is reported that Stephen Bonsal, of Baltimore, well known tc American news- paper men, is to-day the hero of the British journalistic world, and his aame is bracketed with those of Forbes and Stanley. He was in Moroceo with a roving commission from the United Press of New York and the Central News Agency of London, when Sir Charles Euan Smith and the members of the British Mission started out to negotiate a treaty with the Sultan of Fez. Boneal joined the caravan, and was treated as a member of the mission, and rapidly rose to the position of right hand man to Sir Charles. The conferences with the Sultan resulted in a oumber of tragic incidents, all of which Bonsal has described at length in the English newspapers. Negotia. tions were finally brkeon off, and the mission started out on its return to Tangiér, but Bonsal, striking out for himaclf, rode across the desert with the news, keeping in the saddle eighteen hours a day aad beating the caravan by nearly a week. From Tangier he cabled the despatches which electrified Great Britain, and on his arrival in London he was summoned to the Foreign Office for conference with Lord Salisbury. Besides being feted on al! sides Bonsal was fired at on his way to Fez, and promptly made s representation to the Sultan on his arrival. Compensation to the amount of $5,000 was offered to him, but this was declined, and then the Sultan wrote him a touching letter of apology, asking him to excuse his uncivilized children aud praying him to accept a jewelled sword o! honor, This was accepted. Bonsal’s portrait appears in the illustrated papers, his biography has been published and he is one of the men of the day in London.

—A remarkable law was adopted by the last Congress cf the United States for the regulation of the Chinese population, Its principal revisiou was that photographs of the whole 140,000 Chinese residents should be taken at $1 a piece—payable by the photographer in each case. The law is now being put in force with great success. The achievement would be possible in no other country than the United States. The New York Sun says: ‘*Our Government will soon possess the most wonderful collection, the most gigantic pile of photographs ever taken by the order of the Government of any country in the world. It will be wor- thy of the inspection of ethnologists, mind readers, phrenologists, physiog- nomists, psychologists, contortionists and all cbservant persons. I[t may be hard to discriminate between one Chinaman and auy other; but we suppose that the diffi- culty can be overcume by close, careful and persistent study of the faces, through the aid of scientific appliances. We hold that the photographs ought to be classified. Those of the Chinaman who wear queues ought to be separated from those who do not; those who have been converted to Christianity should be separated from those who worship Joss. Such of them as play fan-tan or hit the pipe should be separated from such asdo not. Thus we would be assisted in making a scientific study of them all, and in drawing deduc-. tions that might be useful or humorous. A great national museum ought to be es- tablished in which all the Chinese photo- graphs might be seen in line on the walls.”

Cardinal Taschereau has issued a pastoral letter to his diocese urging his flock not to read unhealthy literature mostly imported from France. The warning also applies to sensational newspapers and indecent pictures,

Mr. Nelson Howatt, of North St. Eleanor’s, returned home last week from his trip to the Northwest. He inclines to the belief that if the peopie on the Island worked as hard and put up with the same inconveniences they mis,ht possibly make as much money as some are reported to make in the Great Lone Land. He speaks very highly of the stock seen and says it is the first time he saw tat animals as they appear in farm paper pictures. —Farmer.

The Prohibition Commission.

The Royal Commission to enquire into the working of the liquor traffic, met for the first time in this city this forenoon, at ten o'clock, in the Supreme Court Room. The Commission is made up as follows:— Judge Macdonald, Brockville, Ont., chair- man; Ex-Mayor Clarke, M. P. P., Teron- to; G. A. Gigault, ex-M. P. P., Quebec; Dr. Macleod, Fredericton; P. Monaghan, Halifax, Secretary; Official Stenographers— br. Bradley, Turonto, Chief of the Han- sard Staff; and T. F. Richardson, Ottawa. F. S. Spence isin attendance on behalf of the temperance people, and L. P. Kribs is

looking after the interests of the !iquor | dealers

There were not very many spectators present this forenoon. His Worship Mayor Haviland aod His Honor the

|

Stipeadiary Magistrate were the only two witnesses examined up to one o'clock. Mayor Haviland, who was first called, said he had been Mayor of the city for six years past. There was not much crime in the city at present. There isa small float- ing population. We now have a law regu lating the sale of liquors in the city, which

came iuto force on the first of July last. It was pissed by the Provincial Legislature. There was considerable

drunkenness before the Scott Act became law in 1881. He considered the Scott Act a good law asa medium measure. There was more sobriety under the Act than there was previously. The Act was not so rigid- ly enforced a short time before it was re- pealed as it had been previously. At one time a special officer was appointed to en- force the Act, and during the time he was in office it was well enfurced. A new Council dismissed him, however, and made the City Marshal of that day prosecutor in his place. There were four [:quor sellers in the Council. A large proporcion of the tines collected under the Act were used in enforcing the Act. The drunkenness dur- ing the time between the repealing of the Act and the coming into force of the pre- sent law was greater than before. He thought prvhibition could be enforced and be a benefit. A great many persons sold liquor while the Scott Act was law. How- ever, there were no open bars—to his knowledge. The trade was driven into back rooms and other places. He could nut say that there was more drunkenness now than there was under the old license law, but there was certainly more than under the Scott Act. ‘Temperance was not now taught in the public schools, but it was the intention to have it taught there. He could not tell how many persons were selling liquor the last year of the Scott Act. The Scott Act was repealed largely be- cause of the apathy of the people. Many who were favorable to the Act did not go to the polls. He thought the liquor people polled their full strength. He always had the liquor interest against him. Although be was not a member of any temperance society he considered himse!f a temperance man. He had not tasted anything in the shape of spirits for years, but he took a glass of wine occasionally. He had the wine in his cellar since before the Scott Act was adopted. A good many persons said the Scott Act could not be properly enforced, and they could not vote for it on that account. If these same people bad put their shoulders to the wheel the jaw wou'd have been much more rigidly enforced, The condition of things under free rum was much worse thin under the Scott Act. Judging by common report the Scott Act is working well in the country districts. He did not think the Scott Act affected any business excepting the l quor business. He was opposed to a license law; he preferred the Scott Act. He could not say that he preferred the present § l:v to the Scott Act, as the present ion had only had a short trial. He could not '« member whether or not the Legislature

ever been petitioned te provide more efficient machinery for the e.‘orcement of the Scott Act. He did not approve of a license law; and thought that prohibition was a fairer law than the Scott Act. He would rather see free sale than a license law.

Stipendiary Magistrate Fitzgerald was next called. He said he was appointed in 1875. The Scett Act came into force in 1881. During tse nine-and-a half years that it had been in operation the average number of convictions for drunkenness per month was a fraction over twenty-two; the average convictions each month during the period of free ram was about .he same, and during the month of July the convictions under the present regulation numbered seventeen. As things jook at present there will be less than that number of convictions this month. In his opinion neither a license law or Scott Act has any material efiect on drunkenness either one way or the other. The volume of drunkenness in this city is largely de- pendent upon some twenty or thirty ruffi- ans. The new liquorlaw has lessened drunk- enness at late hours and unseemly seasons, and there is a marked improvement in the matter of sellingon Sundays. The total amount of fines collected under the Scott Act was $12,643. There were 364 convic- tions—243 firsts, 65 seconds, and 51 thirds. Of the whole 123 were actualiy imprisoned, 46 for one month, 77 for two months. The number of convictions depended largely upvn the vigor with which the Act was en- forced. The Temperance Alliance at one time took an active interest in the work and laid many informations; but they found that the work interfered with their private business and dropped out, when the work practically devolved upon the police. As a rule, witnesses in Scott Act cases have very bad memories. Unquestionably there is considerable perjury in liquor cases. [t was only the other day that he had sent a young wan up for trial in the Supreme Court for perjury commited in a liquor case. He could not teil exactly how many persons sold liquor under the Scott Act. He did not kuow that the Se tt Act could be exactly called an educator. A law that is repeatedly viclated could not ba properly called an educator, and inthe sense that the Scott Act was repeatedly violated he did not think it could be called one ; but in the other sense—that the Act was intended to promote temperance and to pave the way for prohibition—he thought that it might be reasonably called an educator. In the-interest of temperance he thought the hest way of attacking the liquor evil was by adopting a prohibitory law. Then the root of the evil was assailed. The Scott Act was workable, and could be enforced in any city The Act had been repealed by asmaull vote. A great difficulty in the way of enforcing the Act was the apathy of the people. He did not believe the po'ice were anxious to make more arrests under the Scott Act than under any other law.

Assau't cases were largely traceable to driak, larceny were also traceable to an ap- precable extent, also vagrancy and breaches

ot the city by-laws. portion of the offences other than drunken- ness, coming before him is largely traceable to indulgence in liquor, Two members of the

City Council, es formerly constituted, had |

been convicted of violating the Scots Act, and imprisoned. He believed a genera! prohibi- tion law would be more easily enforced than the Scott Act. The fact of liquor being al- lowed to come in interferes with the better enforcement of the Scott Act. There were more than 243 persons engaged in liquor sel- ling under the Scott ct. Some of tnem were driven ont of the business, but others took their places. There were less people selling now than uader the Act. There is not the same inducement to sell now. The law against drunkenness was not so strictly enforced during the time of the old licerse law as it was afterwards. Drunks were not now allowed to go free upon giving their promissory note for the payment of fines ; it was either eash or jail now. in 1877 there was a police force of nineteen. The force now consists of six men and « marshal. The force had not been reduced because of the Scott Act. [here was not much illicit selling under the license law. The licensed sellers took steps to stop it when they heard of it. At times the Scett Act was not so well enforced as it was at others. He would hardly hke to say that the composition of the City Council had anything to do with the officers not working harder to enforce

‘he Act, but it might have had sume influence in that direction, If the officials were appointed by the

Provincial Government the effect would be better. Under the old law, licenses were granted by commissioners elected by the citizens. Hedid not know how the Scott Act was enforced in other parts of the pro- vince. Commen report said that in some sections it wae well enforced while in others it was not. He would not like to say which of the two—a legal enactment or temper- ance training—was most conducive to tem-

perance and sobriety. He knew, how- ever, that religious training had a great deal to do with keeping people sober. Every law is more easily en-

forced when the cflicers are backed up by public opinion. This applied to the Scott Act as well as to other laws. The City Council decided not to have a prosecutor under the Act, and dismissed the very competent officer who was then acting, and appointed a man to do the work of prose-_ cutor who was an idiot. ‘There was a large diminution in the number of convictions after the change.

The Commission here took recess until three o'clock this afternooa. The Com- mission will meet in the same place to- morrow and Monday. On Tuesday they go to Summerside.
