There is no objection more common- ‘

ly met in Scott Act campaigns in the maritime provinces than is the state-' ment that the Act proved to be a failure in Ontario and was repealed in every county in that province where it was once put in operation. The- latter statement was true, and the alleged failure was as we now know, untrue, but there was some diiiiculty from want of precise information, in answering the objections made. We have now before us facts compiled from the otiicial records which throw light upon the case.

As is well known the Scott Act

was enacted in 1878. It was not till 1882 that the act was brought into operation in any part of Ontario. Many efforts had been made -previous- ly but in nearly every case the Act was defeated. The first place to adopt the Act was the county of Halton in May, 1882. Later ° it was carried in other counties, in tive of which it came into operation in May, 1885 and in nineteen others in May, 1886. It was voted out of all of them in`l888 and 1889.

It is to be borne in mind that in

the period from 1878 to 1886 the temperance sentiment in Ontario was by no means so strong as in the 'mari- time provinces and the influence- of _ the brewers, distillers and the Licens- ed Victuallers’ Association was pro- portionally much greater. On a first attempt to introduce the act the popular majorities in Ontario were uniformly against _ it, while generally in its favor in Bret votes in the eastern provinces. Where it was ;adopted in Ontario in 1885 and 1886 it was in many cases by majori- ties. Moreover provincial legislation in Ontario was then more satisfactory to the temperance _ people than likelegislation in the east.Hence, in part the readiness to repeal the Scott Act and fall back upon the provincial regulations. s V - 4

But when we come to consider the

futility of the act in decreasing drunk- enness there is abundant evidence in its favor. The Scott Act was brought in in each case with the first day of May. The judicial year, for which the statistics of drunkenness and other offences are kept begins with Brst October. There is thus but one full judicial year in each casein which accurate statistics of the effect of of the Scott Act in decreasing drunken- ness can be had, the first and last years of the three years that the .act was in operation 'neingbroken periods. Now taking the Ontario counties entirely under the Scott Act in 1887 tho commitments' for drunkenness in that year were 218 as against 566 in the last full license year 188-L and 471 in 1890 again under license. The commitments were, in fact less than half as many under the ect as they were under license. Halton, where the Scott Act was earlier tried, made a. less favorable showing, but still with fewer commitments than under license. V _ ‘ Hence while it is true that the ott Act after trial in a number of ntario counties was repealed in all

of them,it proved greatly effectual in

Henry Clews of New York, an

Erastus Wiman is reported to be

on his way to Quebec as a verymuch interested spectator of. the interna- tional conference. Mr._ Wiman has been in the past a strong and able advocate of freer trade relations between Canada and the Republic. He is probably by this time quite cured of the hope he once had of seeing the two countries politically united.

H. M. S. Renown, the ilagsbip of

the North American squadron, is in battleship of the first class, of _a dis- placement of 12,350 tons. Large as she is there are at least twenty Brit- ish battleships afloat that exceed ,her in _size. Yet as compared with the Oregon, of which our Americans cousins are naturally proud, the Re- nown’s displacement is 2,000 tons

greater. The 10 inch wire guns of

the Renown have as much_ penetrat- ing power as the 13 inch steel guns of other navies. Her quick

teries can discharge in live p

2,300 projectiles _weighing 37

pounds. Her sides are clothed Harveyised steel, which in proportion to its weight is the most effective pro- tective armor. The Renown is a noble successor to several British war ships which previously bore the same

Sui,--I was not a little surprised a

few days ago to hear ot Mr. John C. Clark sanctioning the nomination of Dr. Robertson, Crapaud, as the Liberal candidate for :he vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Warburton. Mr. Clark but recently returned from a ses- sion of the National Division of the Sons of Temperance, and it surprises me that he can recommend the above-= gen- tleman as a friend of temperance. True, nothing can be said against Dr. Robert. son politically because he has never been in politics, but how can the tem- perance people vote for him as their re. presentaiive.
