forth, and treat us to something solid, don’t run away with the idea that our under- standing is what you think it is; we under- stand well what we see, and we see nothing but utter failure in your darling, the Scott Act. The Scott Act instead of beinga success ‘*by doing its utmost to remove tempta- tion out of the way of men and women, so that they would have to hunt up liquor rather than have it aiways in their path,” has just done the reverse, for not notwith- standing your ‘‘own firm belief” in the success of the Act as to the realization of your First, there is more liquor sold now than and more drunkenness under this law than your police courts know of, even were the statistics given quite currect- ly.

Yourlove of the Scott Act is not surely grounded on its success, charity and truth should meet and kiss; but charity of the kind you display towards your darling Scott Act is based upon uureality and in contra- diction with the truth. Two virtues cannot, should not, collide. So pray for light, and vote then as you like ; but, mind ye, we are more knowing than you do suppose. Grant us the privilege of understanding, or in your orisons, send up a fervent prayer that the Lord may send us aright judgment, and infuse into our intimate being a right good spirit. i

THE Propte. Who Was Right?

Sir,—I have no desire to revive the con- troversy which lately took place between the Hon. Danie] Davies and the Chairman of the Water Commissioners. Nor, indeed, would it be necessary for anyone to take up the weapons of literary warfare when laid aside by either of the parties, for both are well able to skillfully use them. When, however, a question of science is in dispute, he cannot be called an intermeddler who attempts to make the matter clearer. This, sir, is my only apology for calling attention When Mr. Davies asked, through your columns, some perti- nent questions respecting the operations then being carried on by the Commission-

the Chairman, in my opinion, used

scant courtesy reply. Mr. Davies |

has always strong and eonsistent | tvoeate of the Waterworks, and the Con

missioners should not forget that it is " |

to the discussion at all.

i ee ih is

been a

hin aud to a few other public-spirited citi- zens that they owe their existence as such, and | presume it was his great anxiety that nothing should miscarry that he took the | liberty to warn the Commissioners to take no | step but as directed and advised by their | Engineer.

Mr. Davies hinted that the digging of the larger well had not beenad vised by the Engin- cer, dtid it may be fairly presumed: that Mr. | Davies had very strony grounds for enter-

a I

taining that opinion. He expressed a fear that-owiny to “atmospheric pressure,” and other causes, the water would not cither come to the strface, as it did in the tubes, or that it might be diverted in other directions, Should the imipervious stratum beneath be broken through, (bh ortunately no mishap has yet occurred in Gils case.) Hor that opinion an attempt was made to make Mr, Davies appear ridiculous before the public, and his use of the term ** atmog« pheric pressure” held up as the sheerest nonsense. Professor Wim. Ripley Nichols, of the Massachusetts Institute of Teechno- ‘On Drinking Waterand Public Water Supplies,” speaking of open wells says:

‘*The height to which water will rise de pends upon the height of the line of saturation of the water-beariug stratum, at least in a measure; owing to friction; fo resistanae of air, and sometimes to leakage in the upper strata the water will never rise to the height of its source.”

logy,

Just as Mr. Davies said, and for which he was so roundly abused, Mr. Tidd, I opine, will agree with Professor Nichols, whatever the Commissioners may think to the contrary.

Inspired by the false and perhaps still more by the grand flourishes of rhetoric indulged in by the Chairman of the Water Commissioners, Business ’’ appeared on thescene tosmite, as he thought, a discomftitted and a fallen man and twitted Mr. Davies as being fond of reverting to his past career as a business man. ‘To ** Business” I have but one word to say in reply: that Mr. Davies has always been recognized in this communty as a gen- tleman of honor, integrity and _ public spirit ; that he has passed through suffering and trials which falls to the lot of but a few men,and thatit ill-becomes ‘* Business” or any unfeeling newspaper scribbler to in- sultim in his declining years.

It would be well for all men of business to so conduct their affairs, that they may look back with the same pleasure and satis- untarnished and Honorable Daniel
