Bines Friday last, a very lame, tame
sod feeble effort has been wade to "boy-
cu:t" Tra S0is6L fur the put which it
and its proprietore took in the Scott Act
contest. Some .1 the persons who
stopped their sutncriptems and custom,
are in the bueinees, and we can easily
understand that their chagrin at being su
badly Defeated get the better of their
judgment, and caused them to do what 1
they will regret to calmer moments.
There are, however one or two persons,
nut in the business, who hare Identified
themselves with the whisky party, and
have thrown in their puny influence to
try and make us feel sorry for d..ing
what we deemed to be right. For these
' latter we can find no excuse, and can at-
tribute their silly action to nothing abort
t feeble intelligence or dense stupidity.
Du these fellows think fur an instant,
lint they can in the slightest degree in-
fluence the utterance of a public journal
by the stoppage of what little custom
they hate at their disposal 1 If they no
tbey are mightily taken. We claim
to have • knowledge of nieu and things
superior to what they peones, and we
certainly do not intend to let such
gentry do tl:e thiukiu_ for us upon pulite
questions. The day .d the bulldozer is
past, and we can inform the "boycott-
ers" that our friends throughout the
c .unty endorse our hien, and we have
every reason to believe that, if instead of
' the corporal's guard of kickers, there
Fere ort hundred times the number, we
i :.uuld lose nothing by the ebullition of
(feeling on their part. Why, bless the
innocent hearts of the would-be terrible
"boycotters." we can mildly inform them
that they are not even a "drop in the
bucket," so far as a subscription list is
cencerneJ° and to show what small pro-
potti..ns they really assume, we Sive the 1

Suave of the opponents of the Scott
Act are now shaking their heads mad
saying that hotel property in (lodericb
will depresiste is value when the licenses
are taken away from houses. They say
the asemeor will have to assess thews
at a less rate than lurnterly, and that the
redaction in their value will kare to be
made up by the other properties being
wore highly aeseaed Any person who
expresses himss,/ in that fashion talks ar-
rant t-onnon, and we can prove it. The
hotel property in town has beau assessed
heretofore proportionately with other
property, according to its real mitt •, and
the assessor will continue to do his work
on the same bans in the time to some.
If Otte .man wants to put up a ten thous-
and dollar house, and another man waists
4o put up a ten thousand dollar hotel,
and both men advertise for tenders for
the necessary work, will the builders and
pniuters and other mechauiea charge
more for the construction of the hotel t

sion that was ever gotten up to coerce
public sentiment, we would like hien to
point out the other.
Now, in all seriousness, we wou'd like
to know what these men moan by acting
so absurdly. We do not object to any
roan ordering his suhseripttotn to cease at
any time that suits him, Ibut we do
object to eight er nine persons imagining
that they can scare a newspaper out of
its beaten track by combining together
ta simultaneously stop subscribing.
Moet of these men are in trade, and if
the Scott Act voters and their friends
e.t.a( the notion to "freeze them out,"
the thin" could easily be done. in this
world we have to depend upon one
another, and no man is indepetrdent of
hs neivhbor, no ratter what his posi-
tion may be. The poet has said:
Ionit talk of independence
There's no such thing on earth:
We depend on one another
For all that life is worth.
And the pet is right. These men
who combine to injure their neighbors,
and who shout that they will "boycott"
Vie tradesmen and others who differ from
them en a great moral or vocal question
had better take hoed, especially when
the large Inajority is against them. The
vote has proved that their judgment was
at fault, anti their wretched attempt at
wreaking vengeance on those who con-
scientiously opposed them well certainly

Te nor friends in other calling?, we
would say Don't la! •'anneil at the ac
tion of the "boycotters." If they try
that game, "boycotting" is a two-edged
• word, and can cut both ways. Dont
be the aggressor, bot if you are attacked
don't fail to pry these peep!e back in
their own emit and with usury. 1,600
et • majority in Huron have said that
you were right and these men were
wrong in their contentions regarding the
Scott Act, and everybody outside of
their own little party will laugh at their
1 feeble attempt to spite their neighbors.

of warfare show the desperateness of the

the weakness .of a cause that snorts to

liquor inen must have of an electorate

such tactics.
We have no deuht many h rable

While the stairway and lobby of the
`town hall, were packed with men and
ween, on Wednesday night of last
week, some fellow with little wit rang
the nee alarm bell.
For a moment the crowd waited irreso-
lute, till • man shouted :
"It's a false alarm ; don't run r'
"How do you know, asked the voice
31 of a liquor 'sympathiser.
"If it isn't • false alarm, why don't
met run," put in a third.
The anticipate! stampede did not
46 happen.
! Had • panic occurred, as it did occur
last week at a theatre in Scotland,
men and women would have lust their
hers.
We give in another column, the result
of that false Pry in the theatre.

One of our councillors, who is not paid

talked to the bell-ringer like the pro-

Let us rejoice that no panic resulted
from that silly attempt to scatter •
crowd anxious to hear a loudly challeng-
ed public debate.

While the doors of the town hall were
barricaded against the ladies on Wed-
needay dight of last week, the ligeor
party were packing the hall by means of
a ladder and a back window.
Some of the bon, however, were too
full to climb up so high. They had got
"high" earlier in the evening.

Among the men deserving of gnat
credit for ability, pluck and earneetnem

Gudench. This gentleman early in the
ampugu earned the hostility of "the
lewd fe'lows of the baser sport" by his
bold attacks upon the liquor interest
Misrepresented, abused and slandered in
a more indecent fashion, Mr. Campbell
bravely held his ground, and made
powerful and eloquent appeals for the
Act, with grand effect. He acted the
part of a loyal citizen and a courageous
man, and his friends are proud of the
work done by him for the temperance
cause.

One scarcely knows whether to admire

heartily endorse the above. Too much

dteetry, urbanity and faithfulness. He
was just the man for the work.
