DAILY EXAMINER, - - © -

TOWN TOPICS. What is being Talked of on the Streets and Elsewhere.

Another week hag gone by and still the writs for the ‘Scott Act election have not been issued. The fight, however, goes on The battle has, so far, been conducted on the principle that gentlemen can differ and be gentlemen still. There have been, so far as I am aware, no personalities indulged in nor unkind words spoken by the wviters for the press or those persons uf a contro- versial turn of mind, who, at every oppor- tunity, almost talk one bald-headed on the subject. The latter individual, however, has had many narrow. escapes; in the majority of cases his tongue is only toler- ated ouc of respect for his relatives.

> ¥*

Prosecutor Henderson is doing the best he can to enforce the Seott Aet. To him the work isa labor of love, as well as a matter of dollars and cents. To the citi- zens it is also a matter of dollars and cents, in the shape of expensive lawsuits. The Act has proved an expensive luxury; a luxury with which the eitizens can dis- pense without suffering any loss worth speaking of. To the lawyers the Act has been a bonanza. Any one of them can take it in hand and drive a horse and cart through it. The repeal of the Act would be a sore blow tothem. But then their loss would be our gain, so we should not grumble,

* * ”

Since the Prosecutor entered upon his labor of love last April, according to your statistics, he has laid fifty-seven informa- tions, Out of these informations he has been successful in securing about sixteen convic- trons. Just think of it! Sixteen convic- tions and forty-one dismissals. Consider for a moment the number of citizens he has been the means of summoning to the court, as witnesses in these cases, where sales were not proveh. Consider also the fact thatthe great majority of these witnesses rank with our most respectable citizens. It is not the individual who almost lives on liquor Who is summoned. Oh, no! He can do as he pleases. He ranks with the respectable drunkard, who keeps his supply in the cellar and liquors up at home. It is the man who takesan occasional drink of beer or something stronger, and keeps sober, who suffers, Such is life under the Scott Act.

+ % ; Di.

When specially-appointed prosecutors and an alliance composed of prominent citizens and clergymen admit that they

have done their best to enforce the Act, and have been unsuccessful, it appears | strange, at least tu me, to see these same gentlemen have the hardihood, I can call | it nothing else with all due deference, to | ask intelligent citizens to assist them in | continuing a law which they know well is inoperative. Truly, they must be Scott} Act mad! + *

There are few vacant houses in Char- lottetown at the presenttime. A few years ago they were to be seen on eyery side. | Then houses could be had almost for takin care of them, and real estate was worth very little. Now real estate is a good in: vestment and-house rent is away up. New houses are leased months before they are completed, and old ones are snapped up before the tenant leaves them. In my opinion this is ocular demonstration of the falsity of the Grit cry that our people are | growing poorer and poorer under the N. P., and are forced to leave the country. to seek employment under a foreign flag.

I see that the big sunflower season has again set in. I trust that it will be of short | duration. The girl with the crazy quilt | containing several thousand pieces, and the | woman with the champion rag mat are also | nuisances, whose acquaintance has been | forced upon us by the press. While on the | subject, I must not forget to notice the man who ‘“‘laid the - big egg on our table,” nor the individual with the daisy ‘tas is a daisy.” I am already familiar with them ; | and on the principle that familiarity breeds | contempt, must decline a more intimate | acquaintance.

**

The girl who will spend her time wrest- ling with a crazy quilt made up of her beau’s neckties, her little sister’s cast-off clothing, and sundry odds and ends sold at the dry goods stores, while her mother looks after the children, gets the meals ready for the family, washes and scrubs, and attends to the hundred and one house- hold duties familiar to the initiated, is just the girl for the average young man to keep away from. The same remarks apply to the piano- banger, the novel reader, and the several other species of femininity with which every ‘community is more. or less afflicted.

+ *

Speaking of young men and women and marrying, reminds me that quite a number of our young folk have ‘doubled up” during the past summer, That all have made judicious selections and may haye 4 pleasant voyage over the troublous sea of married life, | chgerfully hope. . Many of them have started out under very favorable auspices ; and others again not so good. Some have embarked in the enterprise without much thought of the hereafter; but I hope they will come out_all right. Others again have been more care- ful and have laid by something for a ‘‘rainy day.” There are others still who have not | been so careful in their selections and have ‘unthinkingly laid by something for many a | ‘‘stormy day.” To all about marrying I | would recommend the useful advice given | by Louisa M. Alcott, and published in ' your issue of Monday.
