A mg-gting of rho council of Cl): Chgrlocletiiwn Board of 'l‘I':s(lr¥ W-\- held this‘ morning to consider and con- demn the genes nii-nnanageiii-nt of our winter mail service.

If these things are so they were-aoone year. two years. and three years I-80. and yet the Herald all that time had not the moral courage to raise its voice in protest. If its indictment. against the Scott Act be true,— or rather if our contemporary believes it to be true—-then the Herald will stand condemned in the eyes of every citizen as guilty of direlection of duty and criminal silence in never once protest- ing against the evils which it professes to see. The public will give little heed to the utterances of such a jour- nal. For any one to_ say that the Scott Act has lll("‘-‘l‘lS“-d crime in this city is simply to blind his eyes to the; facts that have been pri-sented. Since -he Scott Act was enacted the police f--rce has been reduced more than

half, the number of drunks has de-

creased to one-third; the worst. rouuhs. the police say, have left the town, and according to the same authority the. illicit places are far below what the liquor dealers report. and drunkenness is not nearly so much indulged in. These are facts which cannot be de- nied, and we submit that any law which could o-fl‘-ct all this, and lift. our city from a condition of adairs in which, as the Stipendiary says, the number of drunks was appalling. hordes of rouchs throngerl the street corners and strangers and women were gubjec --d to open insult——~‘uch a law, we say. deserves the respect and gral i- tude of every friend of order and so- briety.

Inxnox, December 20.—-The Labor World, Mr. Davit-t'6 paper. says: “Every hop~l founded upon Mr. Parnell's sup- --sed honor, patriotism and political oneiity has been dashed to the ground. I-{is tactics in Ireland are the crowning disgrace of his career. False to his friends. false to his country. he stands revealed as the most unscrupulous tyrant that ever rode rough shod over the hopes» and sentiments of a nation. Let the and be what it may, Parnell will be forever- more impossible as the leader of ii united Irish people."

Mr. Parnell has issued a strong appeal to the hillside men, calling on them ii t to submit to English dictation. .In this he savs :—‘‘Will you. couiitrynieii of Gr.-man, volunteers of O'Connell, Davis‘ and Wolf Tone. of the g lla lt.

The Scott Act Must Not Go. Rev. Father McE'meel has won-- of course unintentioiially—the ever- lasting gratitude of the liquor dealers.

“ Yes,” s-iid .\ir. Parnell, “ the conduct of the priests almost surpassed belief. The pressure brought to bear upon the masses of the people who would have voted for us had they been left to exer- cise their own judgment without intimi- dation, was umlreaint of. Was it kind for a priest to hold over his flock threats of spiritual penalties? It .is a serious matter certainly. Interference with the liberty of an elector cannot be tolerated. This is not all. -Caxes occurred of which there is the fullest proof that threats of personal violence were used. Had ano- ther Suuday elapsed bef-re the voting, it is not improbable that our votes would have been further diminished. It is:a re narkable and an encouraging fact that in the districts where the people were not by.tl_ip per cent of the votes; I wlsliod to penetrate the d strict around Castlecoiner, but was prevented by the fear of bloodshed.”

North Killieuny is one of the very worst districts for us. Mr. Parnell de- clared “ the southern division has been better. The pri sts led the people in North Kilkenny to the polls like sheep. In many places where they could not coerce the people they prevents-l their voting. If a “petition were lodged - it could be back with evidence to pI‘0V-.' undue influence so as to make a result in our favor? The general election is not far distant, I shall push forwa d prepa- rations for it."
