Che Maily Examiner OCTOBER 10, 1884. By Whom are Licenses Demanded, and Why ? lure first question is very easily an sv ed he el iief, the eff-ciive deman d tor licenses came trom the liquor dealers The face of the petition shows that it is they who have solicited avd witnesse: the wames of the petition ers. By their exertions the canvass is being conducted. by them the campaigao funds are being supplied. We are sate in saying that | ae for them, the coming election would not have been brought on is fact, of its toellf, may well make us pa Aro the interests of these men one with those of the rest of the commu nity’ This question should be well weiszhed. Itis a serious ove. If there is class of men, whose interests are dircc'ly opposed to the good of the com miinity,— f these men combine, subscribe mosey, work hard to carry their point, sheil we, the citizens generally, work wi them ? = a any one of them to. break this deep, prolonged silence of theirs, ani show apy one way in which the city will benefit by their prosperity. The unfortunate young maa who last Monday night, advocated their cause, Wes at the same time a living example of the price the community has to pay that they may prosper. But why do they ask for the change? There is (they say) as much liquor sold as over; therefore (we say) there is as much money made as ever. We will grant, for argument’s sake, that this is the fact. Then the reason becomes clear. They xre men uot without some feeling. They look around and see the misery, wretcheduess and siu that come from their trade, aud they see that the y are left to bear the burden of such a responsibility alone The community DOW refuses to recognize, to legalize theie traffic. They alone are responsible. It is too much for them. So they come aad ask the citizens to help them carry that load, and as an iu- ducement to us to do so, they offer to pay us 4 certain proportion of the profits they get from the ruin of our fellow citizens We prefer leaving the whole responsi- bility where it now is—between the seller and the buyer. There let it be. [t is an insult to ask us to take part of it for paymeot—the petty paymeut of the saviug a few cents of each one’s taxes. It is sometimes said that the Scott Act is making the liquor traffic not re- spectible. Thisisa mistake. The traflic is wot of itself aud never can be res- pectable. But what we are asked to do is, by legalizing it, to give it a false appearance of respectability. We will not do so. There may be another reason why, adinitting these were arguments, they demand licenses, They may persuade themselves that (contrary to all past experience) the liquor will be sold only in licensed taverns. They thiok that these taverns will be few, and each man hopes that he will be one of the few lucky ones who will get a license. No doubt in such a case the licensed tavern- keeper will make a great deal of money. Bu: why should we change our law and as-ume this direct responsibility to secure these ruinous profits to a few favored inividuals. Let there be licensed taverns, with opea doors, hghted wiodows, free access, under the sanction of law—and more men w!| go into them, more liquor be bought, vreaver profits made, and the consciences 0 ie liquor dealers will be easier, as they point to the fact that the whole com ty siares their responsibility. clear as day that these are the reasons why they demand licenses, -_eooe---— -_ - bt is as The Value of Charlottetown Filth. Luar the farmers around and about Charlottetown are not aware of the E] Dorado (the “gilded man’) that reposes the filth heaps of the city, is evident from the fact that they do uot carry it away to their farms and enrich them- selves by enriching their fields with it. When it is taken into account thatthe filthy accumulations of cities, embrace the three priocipal manure ageuts, viz : vegetable, animal and miveral, it must be evident to every thinkiog agricultar- ist, that “cities are a great iustitution,” giviog him back for nothing, the fertil- iziug power that enables him to multiply is productions, aud reap a market har. vest of dimes out of his beuefactors It on ae he a + tr —_ * Ld Wedding Bells, | — —— We weleome, to-day, into the nol le | order of Benedictsa, woithy member of the | pr nters ecratt Mr. George Gardiner, of the Queens Printer’s oflice, ehiose marrisg witi) Miss Nellie.Strong, danghter of i Robert Strong, Ksy , of the Public Lands Dopartmen is noticed elsewhere.

Tue first part of the afternoon session of the Educational Association of yesterday, was taken up with the receiving of reports £ the different committees. The com- mitiee on credentials at this stage of the proceedings reported one hundred and twenty-six members. Others have since been enrolled. A thoughtfully written papor, ‘*How should we teach Grammar ?” was then read by Mr. John McSwain, Principal of the Model Sohool. He was followed by Miss C. C. Snaddon, who read » paper on ‘*The High School Course of study.” Next came a lengihy address on ‘‘Reading,” by Mr. Robinson, Editor of the > Can ula School Journal : The remain cer of the session was given up to the dis- cussion of the papers read, and to the re- port of the committee on the course of studies. In the evening a large public meeting was held. Mr. Montgomery presided. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. John Nichols, of Teronto "las Robertson, Esq., Editor of the Canada School Journal, the Rev. Mr. Richardson, Rector of St. Eleanor’s, Donald Farquharson, Esq., M. P. P., Hon. David Laird, and the Rev. George W. Hodgson. Between each ad- dress a selection of sweet vocal music was rendered by the choir of the Upper Prince Street School. ——- <> ° Supreme Court—Prince County.; THURSDAY, 9th Oct., 1884. James Curtis, Esq., Deputy Sheriff of (Jueen’s County, arrived here by the ex- press train this morning, having in charge J. M. Whitman, of Charlottetown, agains: whom two indictments for indecent assaul: have been found by the Grand Jury. The prisoner having been brought into Court oy Mr. Curtis, was arraigned under the two indictments, and pieaded not guilty to beth. His trial, at his own request, was set down for Friday, he at the same time siating that he required witnesses from Charlottetown and other places. The prisoner isto tbo defended by Mr. James Howe, aud the prosecution will ducted by Attorney-General Sallivan and Mr. Hodgson, Q. C. It is doubtful whether the Crown will sueceed in convict- ing the prisoner even of common assault, as the evidence submitted before the Grand Jury, and upon which the indictments were found, is said not to have been of a very strong character.

Now to th: poin*. ‘“Rechsb” says the ott Act came in force here on the 2nd of a gust, 1831, — & a‘wes me for not cal- eulatug backwards from that date, The Scoit Act came in force bre 30ch June, 1880: s¢e Governor General’s proclama- ition. I ecould not, therefore, include 1880 | und r either the Scott Act, cr License | period, ‘bee use it was partly uncer both. | Bat ‘Rechab” truly has ht le reagon to |find faul,so loug as he gut any three years wider one system, compared witha like number u:der the cther,—and this was done. Lam reminded that I did not menior the reformation effected through tie labors of His Lord: ship Bishop McIntyre and others, ‘* before this worse than useless Act was b rought to work all kinds of evil.” Ctizens, mark this sentence: All kinds of evil! Pray tell us what they are! For, with your own showing, on the two years admitted by you, ‘78 and ‘79 in‘o fair ec mn ar ison with ‘82 and ‘83, the figures of crime given by yourself are : 605 license period, and 433 Scott Act. But there was a reformation brought out during the li- cense period by Bishop MclIotyre ando he's Tuen all the worse for the License system, because 1 334 drunkard were tried despite all efforts at reform by good men in all our churches! The reduction ia crime from ‘77 to 79 has its explanation in the efforts o: these temperance men—not surely in the lice nse system, because the Scott Act shows much greater reduction Now it is my turn to will Rechab account for the enormous re- duction in crime from 1881 to 1883, in- clusive ? Will he ssy the Scott Act had nothing to do withic? Will he say that good men were at work ? They were, but not to a greater extent than under the pre- vious period. He toid us of no reforma- tion under the Scott Act, and yet the facts stand unquestionable—661 only drunk un- der the Scott Act, and 1,334 under the license period. Fellow-citizens this question appeals to you. The issue is of unspeakable import- ance, | pray you weigh well the fact before you cast your vote to panperise your fellow-beings. These 1,334 witnesses of the gpower of strong drink point their skinny fingers at you. They cry help us fellow-citizens—and who will refuse help? Who will not pity the poor and wretched waifs, made orphans by the fiend drink ! Che issue is in your hands, Yours, &c., question. How CITIZEN. “Mild Blackguarding.” Sirn,—The Rev. Mr. Hodgson, in his second letter, published in to-day’s Patrict, seems to object to the above words as used by ** One ot the Siz Hundred,” in his com- munication of the —thinst. I don’t think he should. I attended the meeting in the Market Hall on the 25th ult., and listened ‘o the speeches of the five who addressed the meeting. I heard very little of argu- ment or reason applicable to the questions now before the community, viz.: Has the Scott Act been a benefit or otherwise to Charlottetcwn ?—shall it be continue or shall it be repealed! But I did hear a great deal of cant and bunkum, with a good per centage of ‘‘ blackguarding,” to some of which latter the term ‘* mild” would not be applicable. Then to begin with what right has the Rev. Mr. Hodgson to stand on a_ public platform and charge any citizen who chances to differ with him as to the utility of the Scott Act, with want of manliness ? Many men whose names are included in tle six (/) hundred are as manly as the best ot the speakers of that night, and in their opposition to the Scott Act are as honest and sincere as is Mr. Hodgson himself in his desire to sustain the law. The second speaker taking his cue frem the first, attacked the police force. He used all his genius toconnect the force w.t) the failure of the act, and notwithstanding the repeated explanations and denials of the Stipendiary Magistrate,endeavored to show him at fault. To place him before the meeting as one whe, notwithstanding his oath of office, had steadily and continuous- ly not discharged his duty. What is this if it is not (mild !) blackguarding. Passing the third and fourth speakers as “harmless,” I come to one who cannot be “mild” even in their business. If Mr. be con-! Hales could but know how much injury he and his ilk are to the temperance cause, | am sure he would never be heard from on a public platform again. ANOTHER OF THE SIX HUNDRED. DIED.
