Roll it Up.

Roll up a big majority. Vote for the Scott Act, and it will be easier toen- force the law in the future. Every vote? will tell. Let us pile them up so that the enemies will be forever dis-‘

Would Increase the Number.

Every rson who drinks now, un- der the Scott Act, will be sure -to do the sonic if license becomes law. Many who now abstain from fear of public- ity will then also drink and so the number of drinkers will be augmented by license. ’

Neutrality.

All who do not vote for the Scott Act will be regardedas favoring the license side. The man who does‘ not vote at all, is no friend of the Scott Act, and as the liquor dealers are now trying to kill the Act let all its friends come forth and rescue it out of the

hands of the Philistines. , ————--{>0-oé--—-—

‘Remember This

Remember that the liquor dealers are putting the city to ull this -trouble and expense. It is their agitation. lt is the attack. of the runisellers and their sympathizers-upon the Scott Act. What stronger evidence could we have

' in favor of the Act I /Shall the liquor .power rule this city? That is what the vote on the Scott Act will decide. —-—-{OO4}——--

Which Shall it Be.

The supreme question of the pres- ant struggle is not, Shall we have the Scott Act or license? “"0 have no license law, we could not obtain one if are desired it. The present contest is be- tween the Scott Act and free rum. Let us not be led astray on this point, as some are inclined to lead the people- into a delusion taking it for granted that a license system would be if tbescott Act were defeated at this election. Citizens, beware of such snares and traps, they are set to catch your votes. The clear issue is, the Scott Act or free rum. ‘

Dare to do Right.

Some perhaps do not feel free to vote for the‘ Scott Act, fearing the displeas-

ure of certain opponents of the measg.

nre whose influence might be dreaded. If, the enemies of the Act are ‘inclined to the polls so that any voters ‘ofice or business should ‘theycaat ’the‘ir ballots for the Act. as their conscience tells then they should, what clearer proof could be given of the badness of their cause. It is to be hoped thatevery friend of the Act will‘ have the courage of his convictions and_darc_ to do right by vritinzé for the Act and voting early. Where the liquor it-fluency! is used to prevent any from voting for the Act, it should be at once reported, so that such transactions may be properly ex- posed and dealt with.'

The Taking of the Census

‘“ On the 6th of April next all over the British Empire millions of bands will be busily engaged writin down the state- ments that are neede f~i- filling up the schtdulea distributed. In the mother isles. in the auxiliary countries of India, the Cape of Good Hope, Australia and Cat ads! thousands of men will be busy re- ceiving the infortnati «u that the people have to give them for this census, which is the ten years’ stock-taking of the great empire called the British Empire. In some of these countries the system will be what is called the do facto system, < in others the de j.u-e. Where there- is no fipp-'lTtlH_‘lInIt‘Ilt of representation in accor- dence with population, the de facto sys- tem is used, as in England and Australia. But the latter country, if it becomes con federated after the Canadian example, will be compelled to adopt the de jure system, as Canada has been compelled owing to this fact of apportionment of representation by provinces in the Feds- ral Parliament."

The army required to take our census will be composed of about three thousand enutner-stc-rs, ollicered by some two hun- dred and twenty captains, called county commissioners, and commanded by fifteen _c--lunels, called census chief uflcers. These have to be instructed and drilled in the manual so that on the day appoinlet within the wide domain of the Dominion. from Queen Charlotte islands in the west, to Blane Sablun in the east; from Victor. is, British Columbia, to Sydney, Cape Breton, with all the intervening territory, the questioning shall" be ‘begun.

Davitt, Healy, and the tithe-r patriots are confident in the Meum. Healy and D\t\'ltb put Sir John Pope llermeaayht majority at the same figure, 1,100, and they feel sure that _as

North Kilkenny has gone so will go Ire’- lund , . 1 The result of this contest means much to Mr. Parnell. ltalsw meant much to the priests. The latter were told bv Mr. Parnell and his followers .that defeat meant death to their influence. The priests buckled on their armour and fought like members of the Church _militant at the time of the crusades. . There are eight pulling districts in the division of North Kilkenny. On all the roads leading to these this mornimz were l..ng processions of outside cars. In the first car eat the driver and the parish priest-,_

stood by him. The reception accorded to such processions varied. but it gen- erally was favorable. Take Castle Comer. for instance, the largest district in the

camp the processions of farmers and they were received with cheers by the towns- people. In the frontnf each booth stood a priest, who explained the modus oper- muli to the electors. At conveni--nt noints stood priests handing out ball-its. Sir John Pope llennrssy and (Messrs Healy and Kilbride were on the ground also. On the ground were Mr. John O'Connor and about a dozen Parnellites. They did nothing but look on. The crowd gathered at intervals around them. The women were more ferocious than the men. Some of the shouts were:—-“Ah, ye have bad faces, yo divils;'V' “Kite O'Shea and her loose petticuats." In one of the booths was Mr. John Clancy. the sub-sheriff of Dublin. a hut supporter of Mr. Parnell He said to me that out of 130 votes 70 were cast by m=-n who de- clared themselvcs illiterate at the dicta- tion of the priests, who‘ were afraid that- would nut keep their promises. This may -be di unted, for unless fan at rank failure as a hysinguomiet, fully that per-

The votes aro- supposed to he in favour of the Parnell candidate. The polling for Old Castle was held in the court house at Killtennv. Only a few votes were pulled and only one incident occurred.
