The Scott Act.

_——--—

( Montreal Star. )

fhe Toronto News says that the liquor interest, disgusted at their repeated defeats throughout the country, are preparing to transter to the floor of the Canadian parlia- ment, and are bringing every possible in- finence to bear to induce members of that body to support their schemes. The first plan is to move au amendment to the Scott Act perinitiing the sale of wineand beer in counties where the Act is in force. Ji this

move fails, they will attempt toforcea clanse in the Act, providing that a major-

ity of the entire vote in each county will be uecessary to carry the act. A final move, in case it may be found impossible to bring the government over to their side, will be to «#ppeal to the courts, some of the liquor sellers holding that the Scott Act is uncon- stitutional,

The upholders of the Scett Act would do well to be moving in this matrcr. There is no danger of their opponents triumphing if they bestir themselves, for the sentiment

f the Parliament is overpoweringly ia favor of temperance. While the Canada femperance Act was being amended last

efforts to secure ameudments favorable to flic, but they were one and all thrown by crushing majorities, The fight this season will be stil bitterer, for the liquor wien are struggling to escape destruction, and will leave no stone unturned to secure their end.

The licensed viciuallers in changing their base of operations have done an unwise thing. Do they not remember that a motion for out and out prohibition, with a serious split in the temperance ranks, re-
