THE DAILY EXAMINER.

DECEMBER 16, 1890.

The Scott Act Campaign.

Lw his first letter, the Rev. Mr. Carruth- ers directed the attention of Tur EXAMINER to the blue books. ‘* You have at hand,’ said he, ‘‘the blue books.” But he declares that the statistics found in the blue books and published by Tue Ex- AMINER are ‘not reliable.” It must be admitted that Mr. Carruthers is ‘‘ hard to please.” We shall not say so much con- cerning the figures which Mr. Carruthers has adduced. They are, of course, all right. But it is unfortunate for Mr. Carruthers’s contention that his fellow Scott Act worker, the editor of the Patriot, has emphatically condemned as worthless the whole class of statistics referred to by Mr. Carruthers, and has said that ‘it depends largely on the state of public opinion in a town whether the convictions for drunkenness are few or many.”

We agree with the Patriot as to this

point, and beg to re remind Mr. Carruthers and the Patriot of this additional fact: that when a man got very drunk under license and began to be lively about 6 tavern, he was pitched into the street and soon fell into the hands of the police and had his name duly rogistered in the book from which Mr. Carruthers obtained his tigures ; but, now, he is as long as possible borne with, ‘‘quieted down,” perhaps dragged, in order that those who are on the look out for Scott Act witnesses shal! not see him. This msy, perhaps, be one cause of the larger number of “drunks” in license years than in the years of the prohibitory Scott Act. Further, it ought not to be forgotten that the years 1875-1876- 1877, to which Mr. Carruthers and the Patriot particularly refer, were altogether abnormal and unusual. The Grits were in power. Commercial deprossion ani pol.ti- cal agitation prevailed. Men sought— vainly and foclishly —todrown their sorrows in the flowing bowl. Elections were fre- quent and ‘* black ducks” were freely dis- pensed by peliticians anxious to maintain ** the, custom of the country.” Is it any wonder that the number of drunks was large in those unhappy years?” = Mr. Car- ruthers, in his anxiety to include these years, seems to have overlooked the fact that the three following years were also under “license,” and that the number of arrests for drunkenness was actually nearly a hundred less in these years,—viz., 1879, 1880 and 1881,—than in 1887, 1883 and 1889. More than that, the average num- ber of arrests in the three years, 1879, 1880 and 1881, was—according to the Rev. Mr. Carruthers’ own figures—lower than in any three years since the Scott Act became law in Charlottown, So that, if Mr. Car- ruthers’ figures are worth avything, they tell against himself and his contention.

Why labor this question? Why not, like Mr. Lloyd, have the candor to adiit that ‘drunkenness, gross, persistent, ha- bitual, is alarmingly prevalent in Char- lottetown 7?” After all these year, of the Scott Act, there ought to be little drinking and no drunkenness here, and there ought to be no saluons on any of the principal streets of the city. Yet the Island Guardian was constrained to declare that ‘there are three hundred unlicensed dens in full blast,” an‘l to express its belief that ‘** there are few cities in the Dominion that are so completely in the hands of the rum element as Charlottetown.”

We heartily and sincerely agree with the able editor of the Presbyterian Witness who says in his latest issue :

‘“ When we are convinced that such and such laws should be enacted, we ought to pro- vide that they should be enforced. Dead laws on the statute books, however good they may be, are a source of danger. If one law

may be evaded or trampled upon with im- puuity, why not others—why not all *

Is it not pitiable to see our Scott Act cham- pions forced to the contention that drunken- ness is only less rampant under a law which absolutely prohibits the sale of intoxicants, except as medicine, than it was years ago under the old law by which the sale of in- toxicants was licensed? Surely the fact that they are compelled to take this position is good and sufficient that the Scott Act, as administered in Charlottetown, has been **evaded and trampled upon.’’ But what provision is being madefor the enforcement of the law ¢ Some good people go to temperance meetings and talk glibly about how very ‘* wrong” it would be to ‘* license an evil.” Is it not doubly wrong to let the evil con- tinue in violation of the law? If the com- munity is responsible when an evil is ** licensed,” it is equally responsible when it permits the evil to continue in the law’s despite. Let aot the people of Charlotte- town imagine that they can get rid of their responsibility by refusing to license the liquor traffic and voting for the Scott Act. The responsibility rests with them in any case. The only difference in respect to their “‘ responsibility” is that a double por- tion of disgrace is reflected upon them when they vote for the Scott Act and elect a “rum council” to enforce it. Under the operation of the Scott Act in Charlotte- town there has been added to the sin of the drunkard the meanness of the sneak and the crime of the perjurer. But we are asked to “go it blind” once more. No guaran- tee is vouchsafed that the law will be better administered in the future than in the past. The question for the electors—at least

The Scott Act

THE EPWORTH LEAGUE— D. HIGGS—A STRONG

DISCUSSED BEFORE PAPER BY MR. B. RESOLUTION,

A LARGE and appreciative audiepce was present at the public temperance meeting in connection with the Epworth Laague last evening. The progaamme consisted of music by the choir, accompanied by piano, organand the cornets; and appropriate bible readings by some of the young people of the Sabbath School, after which the chairman called upon Mr. B. D. Higgs to read his paper on ** the Scott Act ; its place in the temperance movement of Canada.” Mr. Higgs began his subject by relating the position of the’ Dominiov previous to 1874-5, and the various stages which led to the framing and adoption of the Scott Act. He then proceeded to show the benelits of the Act, which, though not prohibitory, was an advance movement in the direction of prohibition ; and as such should be sup- ported by all right thinking people, and gave six excellent reasons why the Scott Act should be sustained.

A short discussion followed, participated in by Messrs. F. W. L. Moore, George KE Fall, F. W. Moore, G. F. Boer, and 5 Hodgson,—alter which a hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Higgs for his very ab'e and excellent paper.

Mr. Silas Hodgson then moved the follow- ing resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Geo. E. Full, aad endorsed by an unani- mous standing vote of the audience ;

Whereas, We are unalterably opposed to all efforts to regulate the liquor traffic by tax- ation or license, high or low, as thece afford bo protection from its ravages, but on the other hand entrench it in the commonwealth, throw around it an artificial garb of respect- ability, and mske the people partakers of and

We may, therefore, perhaps, claim, even amid the fierce passion of the hour, a patient attention from our countrymen when we do the only thing that is left in our power todo to aid them in this momentous decision—namely, to impress upon them our deep conviction that Mr. Parnell’s deplerable imp»ytations of mutiny on the part of his colleagues and treachery on Mr. Gladstone’s part, are ab- solutely baseless and unreal side issues, raised up for the purpose of diverting the judgment of impulsive Irishmen from the real issue which every man of Irish blood will have the duty of pronouncing upon within the next few weeks under the most solemn obligations to his conscience and to his country. That issue is whether it is ‘humanly possible to win the general elec- tion noder Mr. Parnell's leadership and, if the loss of the general election is the cer- tain and indisputable price of retaining him ‘ean Mr. Parnell himself, or any rational human being, honestly face the duiure, and point to any ray of detinite hope to sustain our unhappy people in the face of a triumphant tory majority aud a_ helpless and divided Ireland, with Mr. Gladstone ‘gone, his party irrevocably estranged from the Irish leader, and the whole British people angered by deplorable insults to : their leaders and rendered suspicious by coats and tight the Parnellites. | still more deplorable hints of the insincer- A Cork despatch of the 12.h_ inst., re-) ity of all our professions of friendship and — : “Rev, gare o ch maneney, ‘forgiveness?

For a couple of weeks, or perhaps more, Parnell will have his own way.

The London Star (Home Rule) to-day makes a fierce attack upon Parnell, accus- ing him of Fenianism. It says: **Po-day possibly dynamite, to-morrow rebellion. | He is drawing Ireland to red ruin and) outlawry. He lied to Davitt and tricked | his party, and is fighting with poisoned weapons and a traitor’s hands.”

The Pall Mall Gazette says there is two much pocket handkerchief about the Am- erican patriots’ manifesto. They are anxious to heal ali wounds, and their copious dropping of tears will give Parnell fresh powder for his campaign. Let the patriots preserve a tender place in their hearts for Parnell. But for which Parnell ? For ‘Preston’ drunk or Parnell sober? If they would still love Jekyl they must first extinguish Hyde. The Pall Mali Gazette urges the members of the McCarthy section of the Irish Nationalists to take off their

Whereas, The Canrda Temperance Act is, next to prohibition, the best law in the Do- | minion cf Canada for the suppression ot the | liquor traflic; therefore,

Resolved, That this meeting hereby gives its unqualitied endorsation to the efforts now being put forth in this city for the retention ot the Canada Temperance Act, generally known as the Scott Act, and pledges its most earnest co-operation with the agencies wh'ch may be employed to sustain the Act.

a - West River Notes.

The rate payers of New Haven have, at length, come to the conclusion that a new achool bu Iding is required in this district. Although the one now in use was built but a few years ago, still it is comparatively small for the large number of scholats in atteadance; and ag the furniture provided is modelled after the old style, it iseyerything but com- fortable for the pupils, and consequently, no rapid progress can be acquired by them with any degree of satisfaction.

Siace the building of a new schoo! concerns the whole district, the people should be proud that the acting trustees are Messrs. Mc- Manus, McNevin and H. M. MeMillan. Mr. McManus has had a good deal of experience in trustee buisness; Mr. MeMillan having been a teacher himself, understands schoo} affairs thoroughly, and seldom errs in any advice that he gives in regards to the advauce- ment of education, Owing to the winter setting in this year earlier than usual, the West River shipping was not so great asin previous years. Siiil, while it lasted, the merchants were even more successful, Mr. MacMillan having loaded ten Jarge schooners. Mr. MacMillan is a very enterprising man. He carried on business at West River for the past twenty years and bas seldom given cause for any one togrumble, The principle reason for some grumbling is becauge he wili not take their rotten potstoes. If those who grumble would buy rotten fish, Mr. MacMilian, I suppose, might secure some for them, and then for sake of policy, return the compliment. FARMER. West River, Dec. 15.

Charlotietown Markets. A.ruovucH the attendance at the market to-day was fair, buyers seemed to far out- number the sellers, and there appeared to be an all-round depression in business. Prices were pretty much the same as at previous markets. Butter was scarce at 20 to 24 cents per pound for fresh, and 19 to 20 cents per pound for tub, Eggs were in very poor sup- piy, and quickly bought up at 23 and 24 cents per dozen. Beef, per quarter, was plentiful at 4 to 54 cents per pound. Pork (carcase) sold well at 5 and 54 cents per pound. Other articles demand their usual prices. Below we
