The Last Oar.

S1r,-—I think Act must have put out their last oar when they suffered to be published the corres- pondence headed the ‘‘ Bishop's Views.” The

writer that Bizhop Mclutyre is in full sym- pathy with the friends of temperance ‘* in this important issue.’

The Sec retary’s communication to you is dated yesterday, but the Bishop's reply, dated 19th inst., acknowledges the Secretary's communication of same date, and the letter which brought forth the snub which the Secretary received is suppressed, which course, ] hold is atrocious in con- troversy. The good bishop says that his sympathies are in full with the temperance people and their cause (and so say we all of us) but when the distinguished prelate declined the proffered interview, the dullest intellect must see that he had no lot or part with the Scott Act men whe would try to make an instrument of him for their own purposes.

Yours, IsLANDER. November 22nd, 18387. The scott Act, Six,-—Our friends, the repealers, have evidently made a mistake in bringing on an election at the present time,and, if possible, a greater mistake in bringing or trying to bring E. King Dodds, Esq., to Char- lottetown, They have, however, unwittingly roused up such a public sentiment in favor of temperance, that I have every hope that the Act will be better enforced in time to come. When the people of Charlottetown and of Prince Edward Island shall have something better.than free rum or license to fall back upon, will they be ready for repeal. Then and not till ‘hen will they seriously entertain the question. Warp 3, East.

Questionable Policy.

Sir,—The policy of publishing His Lord- ship Bishop McIntyre’s brief letter, and the subsequent distribution of it broadeast as dodgers, is very questionable. His Lordship simply states: ‘‘ My sympathies are in full with the temperance people.” Do the supporters of the Scott Act pre- tend to say that there are no ‘* temperance people”’ notin sympathy with the Act ? {If they hug such a delusion I would refer them to the editorial in the Dady Patriot of the 12th inst., in which the following language is used :~-

**Some supporters of the Scott Act, whose zeal outruns their discretion, lose sight of the fact, if they donot utterly deny it, that there are many warm and honest friends of the temperance cause, who are in grave doubt, FROM A TEMPERANCE STANDPOINT, Of retaining the Act.”

ONE OF THEM.

-_—~ > eo —--

The Scott Act.

Sir,—In the letter which appeared in THe Examiner on Monday your correspon- dent promised to supply arguments in favor of a law that would better restrict the liquor traftic than the Scott Act has done,

or could be expected to do, judging from experience. A variety of opinions have been given to the public; one

party contending it was decidedly wrong to grant a license te sell liquor, and furnishing what they considered good reasors for this contention; while another party was just as strongly convinced that a license law was preferable to the so-callel temperance law that has existed here for the past six years. I have the sermons and addresses of many eminent authorities to quote from in favor of a License Law, but one, I think, will suftice. It is that of Bishop Ireland, of St. Paul, Minnesota, wko has been justly designated the Father Mathew of our day. His address in full would be read with pleasure and protit, but the following ex- tract will prove interesting at the present time:

‘* We need, if we would do good,to be practi- cal and to deal wit): problems as we find them, at hand. Certainly temperance workers, also must be practical i the means which they propose. We cannot lose time in dreaming about measures which present public opinion will not allow us to enforce. Neither must we, by remedying one evil, introduce another Our principles of action should be always philosophically and socially correct. In deal- ing with the alcohol question it *s of no pur-

pose to say that the use of alcohol is always wrong, or that the selling of aleohol for drink is, also, intrinsically wrong. The propositions are not true. If no general agreement exirts in favor of total prohibition, how far one por- tion of the population has the moral right to restrain, by law, the sale and use of liquor, is the great question in temperance politics. It must be borne in mind that under our free Government it is a very dangerous proceeding to infringe, to any considerable distance, upon private rights and liberties under the plea of public welfare. The very essence of our re-

as far as it may be at all possible, private rights. Individual taste as to what we are to eat and drink, is one of the most personal of

our national rights, one of the very last subjects, indeed, even in extreme cases, for further legislation. The frst

work must at all times be to appeal to the intelligence and moral nature of men. Legislation by itself will be idle speech. It has its purpose ; it remove and lessens temp- tations; it assists and strengthens moral sentiment ; but alone it neither creates nor takes the place of virtue. What is at once practicable, and would be most serviceable in diminishing the evils of intemperence, is to demand of liquor sellers high license fees. The effect of high license in its bearing upon the traffic will recommend it to all thought- ful men. High license has been put to “the test and has not been found wanting.

30,000 and 180 saloons; to-day with high license it has a population of 50,000 and 55 saloons. In both places the local papers say that drunkenness and crime have largely diminished. It is asked can a high license law be enforced? Will it not follow the lot ot other liquor laws at present on the — book, which are mere dead letters? High license, 1 answer, is strictly enforced in Ne- braska, and other places. High license invites jits own enforcement, because there follows the public treasury and for individual citizens the is to the interest of the latter that no com- petitors rise up in the business who will noc be at least subject to the burthens which press upon themselves. The reason, toa great ex- tent, why the liquor-laws ure not enforced, is the exorbitant expansion of the traffic ; high license will reduce this expansion Jand render those laws far easier of enforcement than they have been in the past. There are temperance workers who desire more stringent, more radical measvres than high license. Need thev refuse to unite in fauor of a high license law? Much good, they must confess, will be accomplish: d, even if not as much as they desire. They will com- promise no principle, Toes the word license alarm them? Words are immaterial; let another word be used—special tax. They need not be supposed to authorize or to ap- prove the traffic. Moreover the theory of the law, wha'ever be the practice of individuals, is that it permits liquor selling, free from all abuse and confurmable to principles of mor- ality; the law is not in itself, or in its neces- sary results, either wrong or a cause of wrong doing, and uno principle is violated in passing or upholding it.

In demanding a reduction in the number of saloons, I am taking a most moderate view of the question—a view which, it seems to me, approves itself to all citizens interested in the public welfare. I take this view because it is eminently practical, hkely to receive general support, and is one the success of which would contribute in a marked manner to the reduction of intemperance. Those who in principle go farther than we, and are con- vinced that nothing will be satisfactory short of absolute prohibition, ought to be glad to accomplish even the good which we propose. What measure may be adopted to effect this reduction is a secondary question, provided the measure be effective. High license, where established by law, municipal or state, | answers effectually the demand.”

Every elector who desires the welfare of the community should seriously consider the words of this distinguished prelate before he casts his ballot on Thursday next. In concluding, I thank you, Mr. Editor, for publishing the letters of
