The Scott Act. AN ENGLISH TEMPERANCE WORKER'S REPORT UPON IT.
The official organ of the United Kingdom | Alliance recently published an interesting article upon the Scott Act, written by Mr. J. M. Skinner,who had spent several weeks ip Canada looking into the practical work- ings of the Act. In the course of the re- port, Mr. Skinner says :— .
whole, successful and satisfactory. That the Act is well enforced in many places may be gathered from the fact that in Middle-! County, recently, during three months, out of 124 informations laid of violations of the | Act, there were 110 conyictions and fines | imposed, amounting to $5,505. | The first town we stayed at where the| Scott Act is in force was Presectt, in Gren-
ville County, on the St. Lawrence. The; counties of Leeds ‘and Grenville united ip | voting on the Act, and out of 9,442 votes’ there was a majority of 674 in its favor. the town of Prescott (where we sipped a) night waiting for the steamer to take us up| the St. Lawrence, by the Thousand Islands | to Lake Ontario), there are two breweries |} and one distillery, employing at lest one |: hundred families. The vote in Prescott! was hostile to the Act, but not being a! city the county vote prev ailed. Thus we reached, in an accidental way, ono! of the very worst places—a Canadian Burton-on-Trent on a small scaie— under the Scott Act since last May. But even there we saw no open bar, and the hotels all looked exceedingly dull and uninviting. There were a few loungers}) hanging about, one or two of them smoking aiid spitting, but we saw no drinking. The landlord of the leading hotel, who was our host for the night, confessed in answer to our inquiries that he sold liquor, but had to be very careful in doing so. Some of his neighbors had been fined, and he did not know when he might also be ‘‘ pulled.” Here we found, under the most adverse circumstances, th t the Seott Act, although not rigidly enforeed, largely removed the ordinary temptation to drinking and drunk- enness. We saw the Presbyterian minister and some of the leading citizens, who, while regretting that the Act was uot better enforced, testified that there was a marked linprovemient in the town since its adop- tion. Haiton was the first county in Ontario that adopted the Act, the votes polled being 2,535, giving a majority of 81 in its favor. It came into operation in May, 1881. An elfort was made to repeal in 1884, but the result was an increased majority of 180 out of 3,714 electors polled. The Act is exceedingly well enforced throughout the whole of this county. There have been 174 convictions for violations, and fines imposed amounting to $9,550. The Police Magistrate told us that during his experience of over six years, he had examined 2,200 wit- nesses, only one out of that number testi- fied that drink was sold openly. In confir- mation of this, Mr. McCraney, ex-M. P. for the county, offered us $100 if we could as Strangers buy a glass of liquor anywhere in the county. We accepted the offer, pro- mising if we got the money to divide it be- tween the Canadian Alliance and the United Kingdem Alliance. We visited several places in the county and soon found that Mr. McCraney was quite safe in making the offer. We found comfortable quarters, | and good food wherever we went, but no liquor. In the town of Oakville the lead- ing hotel is now kept by a keen teraperance man. In other towns we saw one or two suspicious looking characters cailing at some of the hotels, but we could never see any drink. In one case we stayed at a house where we were informed that we were looked upon as whiskey Cetectives. This was at a house the landlord of which had been convicted for illegal sale. We spent two pleasant days in Guelph, where the first tree was cut in 1827 Guelph has since developed into a city: ri nearly 12,000 inhabitants, famed for Bell’s organs and Raymonp’s sewing mechines. It has many beautiful churches, fine schools and city buildings, and a free library and reading room. The Government Agricul- tural College is also close to the city. Here the Act came into force last May, and is fairly well enforced, although not to the satisfaction of its supporters. One liquor seller has been sold up since its adoption. Several others have been convicted and tines imposed amounting to 1,000 dollars. There are upwards of a dozen hotels, but no open bar or public sale of drink at any of them, only those who are duly initiated in the secrets of law-breaking can obtain liquor in the city.

A recent story of Gladstone is that he was reading one of Beaconsfield’s speeches one day,and put it down with a sigh, remark- ing: **’“ith all his tinsel, he will be re- membe ed when I am forgotton.” This calis tu mind Tenniel’s cartoon in Punch, which represented the two statesmen with their backs turned to one another.

Lord Tennyson doesn’t remember faces well. He was entertained at dinner one day by Oscar Browning, a rich Society man at. London, and no relation to the poet. A few days latter Mr. Browning greeted Ten- nyson at a reception and met only a blank stare. ‘* Do you not remember me, Lord Tennyson? [ am Browning ” said his for- mer host. ‘*Oh, no, you are not,” calmly answered Tennyson, “I know Robert Browning intimately, and you cannot per- suade me that you are he.”’

i. The Berlin Zeitung which has, up to this tine, tried to allay the suspicion which has arisen against Russian credit, says: ‘‘It would have been better if the St. Petersburg in its article on the crusade of the German press against Russian se- curities had been able to state that all |rumors regarding the negotiations of Rus- sia for a new loan were incorrect, but this declaration was cautiously avoided like the | well grounded complaints cf Russia’s hostile jattitude towards Germany.” The Frank- fort Zeitung has advices from St. Peters- j burg which reaftirm the reports of the en- deavor on the part of Russia to negotiate a jloan in Paris. Other Russian advices refer to a proposal to promote the production of gold and arrest the depreciation of Russian |paper. They also allude to a scheme to prevent commercial travellers doing busi- ness '" Russia, and assert that this measure is directed principally against the Germans, | who are the chief competitors of the Rus- 'sians.
At Harrogate, they roasted an ox whole, in honor of the Jubilee, by an ingeniously constructed furnace, and, after it was ‘‘dene brown” it was cut into bits and distributed among the needy portion of the community. At Liss, Hampshire, the ox was subjected to a boiling process, by being lowered into a tank in the ground, under which burned a fierce fire. After boiling seveu hours in water, wherein were a vast quantity of turnips, carrots and potatoes, which made splendid soup, the carcass was drawn up by a pulley, and solemnly ‘* pro- ceshed ” on a species of bier by twelve men, who carried it shoulder high along the street. Thereafter, to the strains of ** God Save the Queen” and *‘ Rule Brittania,”’ and amid the shouts of the multitude, the oX Was cut up and distributed to the poor. The immense knife and fork used in dis- secting the boiled animal were manufactur- ed in the village, and will be handed down as mementoes of the glorious year of the Jubilee.

A Detroit despatch says: ‘* At Higgins Lake, Roscommon county, yesterday, Mrs. Charles H. Petit and her little daughter, aged three years, were boating, when the child fell into the water.

(hio is the tirst of the states to declare its presidential preference for 1888, and each party has putitself on record, the Democrats for Cleveland and the Republi- cans for John Sherman. The action of the Democratic convention is probably the most siguificant. Cleveland has not been a first favorite with the Ohio wing of his party, and his endorsement may be taken as an admission that his administration has been so markedly successful in the country as to put him easily ahead of any probable rivals. Mr. Sherman’s success was won after a fight with the Blaine forces, in which he is admitted to have beaten his rival at his own game, and that isa sharp one. But his victory is only the beginning of a long tight, in which the magnetic man from Maine will not be scrupulous or idle, and the first blood drawn may count for very little when the final round is called in convention. Cleveland and will go to the polls in 1888 as they did in 1884.
