THE SCOTT .4(T PETITION.
D. D. Wilson, President .•f the Scott
kt Aet Alliance of Huron, was in town ye.-
terday to, take the petition from the
F9ti heads of the sheriff. The ten days eE-
• pired at 11 o'clock on Thursday. It
met!wag was Mr. Witan
p'Aa's intention to go to Ot-
'taws with the document on Saturday.
Wile others are hopeful of the Act
being submitted in this county in time
for it to come lute operation by the 1st
of May, if carried, Mr. \Nilson is of
opinion that the rote will not be permit-
ted et a date early enough to admit of
that resuh. The temperance pe.ople are
confident oma big victory in this county.
So far no opposition has been offered to
the petition from • legal standpoint.
LEGISLATION es. APPEAL
The Tory papers are now eleibaing Ihet,
Sir John A. Maodueald pseaca.d w

Commit in 1881 Sir John deserves no
credit for t bat proposition. He could
base settled the matter oy doing what
the Privy Council intimated was the
correct thiu1; to do--ackuuwledge the
arbitration. That was all that was m-
ammary. Because the Dominion premier
perversely recused to acquiesce. the
case was fenced upon the Privy Coun-
cil. Here is the judgmeut of the Coun-
cil :
"Tbat legislation by the ibsiat.s of Casa -
ds as well se by the Province ut tfotarn was
necessary to give binding Aloe as against the
Dominion and the Pro.. ince to the sward of
the Jr.t of August. ISt& arm fAaf oe aro a..rk

bind Ong."
Mac w:mid's duty is here clearly indi-
cated. He should have ratified the award
by legislation. Mowat had always coo -
tended that all that was necessary ram
the same legislation by the Cummins
that the Province of Ontario has so free-
ly passed. Mowat's proposal waa slight-
ed, and an expensive reference had to be
made to the Pnvy Council. Macdonald
on one side ; Mowat' and the Privy
Council on the other. And yet the Tory
organs talk of Sit John's prescience !

THE I'(1TE IN H.4LTON.
Under the above headitag, the Toronto
Wcrld,which heretofore suinted violent-
ly toward the liquor party, rosea to the
following conclusions :-
We take the vote of yesterday in
Halton to mean :
That the majority of people in that
county are in favor of the continuation
of the Scott Act.
That adjoining and other counties, not
only in Ontario but throughout the d• -
minion,will now adopt the act, and there-
by increase the chances of pro: ins the
experiment • success.
That the liquor interest put their best
and strongest forces f..rrard In a compact
territory and were defeated.
That the people are in favor o'1 still
farther regulation of the liquor business
-of regulating it out of existence when-
ever that is possible.
The World very sensibly faces the
itsevitable, and shows, as we always
thought, that the editor when writing on
the spur of the moment, and under
I ems t feeling, was sound in his philo.-
let ms add our own cpioion of the
result We consider the Halton vote
no the question of the repeal e.1 the
Seat Act to he ma irretrievable defeat of
4he liquor party. That party selected
the ground, and invited the combat.
They had all the advantage of • "mon-
ster" petition --a monster it has proven to
be -and they became the aggressive
party in the conflict, foram their op-
ponents to the tight. Even under such
circumstances, a victory might have
ailed forth a (pertain amount of admira-
tion for tact and dash. But being de-
feated, they must hear all the odium
that falls to the lot of beaten braggarts,
for frees a hundred platforms they boast-
ed of the crashing detest in store for the
Act in Halton.
Had this ill-advised contest not come
off in Hahne. that e,osty would hate
still furnished powder and shot nd lih.hion
fur future campaigns. The arguments
on cleverly handled by the elegnent
orators on the anti -Scott side would still
lure been of woe. s. -w, no intelligent
man will tare to listen to the most
polished harangue on the failure of
I9estt Act u. Halton.
The liquor party is torlay in the psi -
tion of those who hare blown up their
aagasine when standiug meet in need of
eipwder and shot.

Jrnoa Tow's decision ..n the validity
o' the Croaks Act is a bold one for a
county judge to make. It is rendered in a
very able manner, and will rank among
une of the important judgments given on
the iicense question. Taking it for
granted that the Dominion Government
has the power to legislate on the question
of license, the:judge bolds that as s
superior legislative body its laws over-
ride that of • Provincial legislature on
the same question. and that the Crooks
Act is therefore ultra rirca. The case
will be carried to the higher courts.
