The Means Provided.
Tre Scott Act is weak in that it does
not provide means by which it may be
enforced. Professor Foster, when he
was here, stated that this weakness bad | been provided agaiost in the Liquor |
The |
License Act passed last session. following are, we presume, the provisions to which Professor Foster referred :—
141. Nothing in the foregoing provisions of | this Act shall be construed to effect or imparr |
any of the provisions of ‘‘l he Canada Tem- perance Act. 1878; and no hot l, saloon or
shop license shall be issued or take effect with- |
in any county, city, town, incorporated vill- are or townsh p in Canada within which the second part of the said Act has been brought into foree ses by the said Act provided, or within which any by-law for probibiting the sale of liquor under *‘The Temperance Act of 1364,” or any other Act isin force.
142. A Board of Commissioners may, not- withstandiog that such Act or any such by- law affects the whole of any county, be nomin- ated therefor; and the said Board and the Inspectors shall have, discharge and exercise all such powers and duties respectively for preventing the sale or disposal of, or traffic in liquor contrary to the said Acts or this Act as they respectively have or should exercise or perform uoder this Act.
143. The Board and the Inspectors shall ex- ercise and discharge a}l their respective powers and duties for the enforcement of the pro- visions of ‘‘Tne Canada Temperance Act, 1878.” and ‘*The Temperance Act of 1864,” as well as of this Act, s» far as the same apply. within the limits of any county, city, incor- porated village or township or parish, in which the first mentioned Act or any by-law under the secondly mentioned Act is in force.
The Liquor License Act also provides that “all sums received on application for and onthe issue of licenses, or re- ceived by the Ins; ctor of Sines and penalties, shall form the License Fund of the district, and be applied in carrying the provisions of the law into effect.” The Act goes into operation on the Ist next, though licenses issued uuder it will pot be operative until the first of May next.

A Pretty Smail Piece of Business.
[f their is one man more than another whom the Patriot pursues with unrelent- ing hate, it is the Hon. William Camp- bell. Not only in his official position as Commissioner of Public daily misrepresented and belied, but his private character is assailed with covert hints and malignant insinuations, un- worthy of a respectable newspaper Yesterday's issue contains a paragraph headed “A pretty small piece of Busi ness,” crecited to an obscure sheet, which is published semi-occasiovally some- where in the city, wherein Mr. Campbell is charged with having refused to pay for two panes of glass required for the Bon- shaw Court House, because they were purchased from a firm entertaining Liberal political opiniovs. The charge is absolately false. The keeper of the Court House reported that there were two panes of glass broken, whereupon Mr. Campbell told him to put them in, and he would be paid for them. Upon learniog, however, that the glass had been brokeo during a_ political meeting held at the time of the last Dominion Election, and that the keeper had been paid for the use of the build- ing, by the agents of the candidates, enough to glaize two windows instead of two panes, he very properly refused to pay him a second time. Mr. Campbell has aa intimate acquaintance with every detail of the work in his department, and because he declines to squander public money in paying bills a second time, he is subject to ridicule. We spoke of the Patriot's hatred of Mr. Campbell; perhaps fear would better describe its feeling towards him, and there must be some reason for it.

COMPANY.
A gentleman largely interested in the cotton industry of the country, stated re- cently to a representative of the Montreal Star that the future outlook of the cotton ‘industry was by no means as gloomy as some people attempted to make out, and that in a very short time the surplus stock now in hand would be worked off. As re- | gards the Montreal Cotton Company, he \said that the Secretary had just returned from the United States, where he had inter- viewed the American creditors of the Com- pany, and that he reports that he was well received by all the creditors on the other side, who all agreed to the extension asked for.
The machinery for the Magog mills has arrived, and skilled machanics from Eng- land have been engaged to erect it. The Hochelaga mills in some lines have orders for three and four months ahead.
[t is also stated on reliable authority, that the spinners and pickers, 100 in num- ber, employed in the Hudon cotton factory, will resume work, prior to the return of the other discharged hands at an early date. Considerable quantities of raw cotton still continue to be brought to the factory in anticipation of an early resumption of work

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
a
Hermitage Debating and Literary Society.
Dear Str,—The young men of Hermit- age met in the Hermitage schoolhouse, on Thursday evening, the 15th instant, and organized a society to be known as the ‘‘Hermitage Debating and Literary Soci- ety,” to meet in the Hermitage school- | house, on every Thursday evening, at 6.30 o'clock, and to have for its object the increase and diffusion of knowledge among its members. The following officers were elected and installed for the ensuing quar- ter, viz:—
President—Philip J. Lane.
Vice-President—Daniel McEachern.
Treasurer —Jahez Lane.
Secretary—Frank Vickerson.
Several committees were then appointed and other business in connection with the society transacted, after which the follow- ing subject was debated, viz: ‘‘Should capital punishment be abolished?" The discussion was interesting and animated, and those who took part in it did very well indeed.
As the subject was found to be interest- ing and profound, it was agreed to debate it again next Thursday evening, the 22nd instant.
The meeting then dispersed, all appar- ently looking forward to the next meeting of the society with pleasure, interest and profit.
Yours, etc., A MemeeR. Hermitage, Lot 49, Nov. 16, 1883,

Norris Pond Bridge is slowly but steadiiy nearing completion. The ground-werk and frame were finished some time agv, but the contractors were tillers of the soil, and con- sequently were unable to devote their full time to its construction. The bridge spans one of the deepest gorges between Souris and East Point. The Commissioner ef Public Works paid the contractors a visit a few days ago. When this bridge is com- pleted what will the Grits have for a hobby horse! Black Pond Bridge received its share of Grit abuse; what next?
The Souris branch of the Dominion Tem- perance Alliance will meet in Agricultural Hal, on Wednesday evening, Nov. 21st. Chair to be taken at eight o’clock. All are invited to attend.

VERITAS.
Souris, Nov. 19, 1883.
The Princess Victoria, second daughter of the Crown Prince of Germany, and granddaughter of the Queen of England, is about to marry into a famous house. Prince Leopold, of Anhalt, the bridegroom elect, descends from Albert the Bear, and less remotely from that ‘‘old Dessauer’’ with whom readers of Carlyle’s Frederick are so well acquainted. Leopold, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau, and field marshal in the armies of Frederick William and Frederick Il., was no common man. ‘‘He invented the iron ramrod; he invented the equal step; in fact, he is the inventor of modern military teotics. * ° °° |, Fhe poldiey’ of every civilized country bill receives from the man on parade fields and battle fields, its word of command, Out of his rough head proceeded the essential of all that the ‘innumerable drill sergeants, in various | langnages, daily repeat and enforce.” The old Dessaner further distinguished himself by marrying an apothecary’s daughter— first with the left hand, and afterward— /when, as the reward of brilliant military 'achievements, he succeeded in getting her jennobled —in complete fashion. ~ From this union is derived they Teigning line of | Anhalt.

The Freeman’s Journal publishes a letter signed by Dr. Redmond, priest of the diocese of Westminster, denouncing Lord Errington’s mission to Rome as in the in- terests of the landlords and the English Government. He declares that the Irish clergy and laity have a right to fight their own political battle, and the Curia must stand aside. If it decides adversely to the Irish people, it may deal a mortal blow to the Church.

The Mail reports that Mr. G. W. Ross would have secured the withdrawal of the petition against the return of Mr. Johnston in West Middlesex had the Conservatives agreed to withdraw the petition so success- fully entered against himself. The com- promise was not entertained; hence the yin- dictiveness of the ex-M. P., and the ex- treme detire he evinced to secure Mr, Johnston’s disqualification.
The Winnipeg Sun (Reform) observes:— The Toronto Globe is taking another spell of denunciation of the Dominion License Act. In one article it declares the new Act a humbug, the Crooks Act the best license law in the world, and the former entirely stolen from the latter, which, of course, aettles the whole question. The Crooks Act of Ontario, as far as a license Act goes, | was a good one ip its dey, and a great adw vance on existing legislation, The Do- minion License Act is even more stringent, and is certainly another step on the road to prohibition. The great difficulty with the Dominion Act, so far as the Globe is concerned, is that it came from the Conservative party. Unless some fresh legislation is passed at the ensuing session of the Dominion Parliament, the new Act will go into force at the expiry of the present licenses, a fact which is overicoked in the local discussions on the license ques- tion according to ae ie cou, walk es- timating the population at 25, ; entithd te du hotel Revue - ‘
