"V E BROW RED, BRONE ED, BA TTEJ^R, BEARDED- The Expositor holds that the On- , tral Scott Act association must ren­ der aid to tb© Commissiouers and Inspector in the performance of their duties, The Central Association as ahody should have nothing to do in aiding the legally constituted officers. As individual members of society they have every right to aid in hav* ing Scott Act law and all other law respected. As we have taken the Tibet ty ‘to remark on a former occas­ ion, this banding together of a body of citizens to have the law applied upon one particular class of nien savors strongly of conspiracy. It is a sort of Lynch law, if not really uiob law, this endeavor to enforce statutory law by means of the Cen­ tral Association or any other Asso­ ciation, All statutory law worthy the name is accompanied by provisions for its enforcement.

If the law was ever intended to be enforced let the public use the means legally provided to do so. But we must take exception to a lot of men band ing'o> conspiring together and' con­ tributing money to injure any one in pocket or purse ; let the proper legal funclionarieH attend _to. that. If they are remiss in their duty the Government will look after them if foimal complairit is made. 1 ' From the Expositor. . The Central Scott Act Association must ’render the necessary aid to the Commis­ sioners and Inspector.in. the performance, of theirduties, and mustalsosee that these functionaries do faithfully perform the duties for which they are so liberally paid., Tf’ie Government it so'ems depend ' upon1 the Commissioners and inspectors to en­ force the law the- same as the similar offic­ ers did. under the Crocks- Act. This being the ease it becpnies these officers.to be up, and doing. Thus far’they . have done practically nothing. From the Commis­ sioners wo do. not expect much. We have a right to expect that the Inspector owill faithfully and vigorously discljarge—tlnr duties for tlie performance of which he is so well paid, and it is the duty o,f,tho cen­ tral coihmittee to s'ee that he does^so, and if he fails, to report his failure to the Gov­ ernment, The-Inspector for this county is, wo believe, Mr, H. W. Ball, of Goder­ ich, It"is now time lie was at work and earning his salary.. -He should give.Up his puddling .arid hair splitting about Blue Ribbon Bebr and devote his attention to" the more deleterious substances such as. - whisky and strong beer. So long as these are1 sold,-and in many places almost open­ ly;, the sale of Blue Ribbon- beer is-a very trifling consideration. If he will but . ex­ tended Iris researches to '.the town oLSea- • forth; he will find something a good deal-7 more injurious to tlielmriiaiTsystein to en­ gage his attention .than Blue Ribbon’Beer. •ThifsTarj- Wntisrsayllie AcFFksffiotTegir ■ enforced as well as it should be. / ene© to Uoj whether he I« tried b Regina or Ottawa whether th© court sits iff th© Northwest or in Ontario. Ilia guilt can he proven by hundreds of living witnesses; it cries to heaven in thousand-tongueJ voices as the yet ascendine fumes of the blood of our slain fellow subjects,, of all. races, are being borne upward from the drenched soil. Even should it come out upon his trial that be was to some extent the vicarious instrument of designing politicians in the Northwest and older Canada, such fact© should not rnlioyg him of the full measure of responsibility for his monstrous wickedness. His sec­ retary, W. H. Jackson, has Jieen acquitted on the insanity dodge. Kiel will try the 8ame-4odgev, His incoherent diary was evident ly kept by him for the present contingency. All we have to say is that Riel is responsible. vSufficent authentic evi­ dence lias aheady been published to secure his convictioiu Judge and jury cannot but find him guilty of a capital offence. No power on earth can save him but tlie Executive, and it dare not interfere to pardon, how- everjffiuch it might wish to delay the carrying out of the sentence., ffV/b - 7;S''A’^P&VN72?Z£’ ? Out of all the -windy harangues touching pn who is' responsible for the rebellion a very .terse answer‘ H,csn be eliminated—it is tlm late Mackenzie Government primarily/ and Riel secondarily, • that must be held responsible for. the rebellion' and its- attendant deplorable loss of. life and waste, of millions cf money.

The Mackenzie Gov­ ernment pardoned Itiel subject to several -years banishment. ..Had not such ■ an...

The wave is stilLrolling onward. Either by the exercise of the will of the people or from non-exercise of that will the wave of sumptuary legislation is still eweeping on. County aftev county is coming under it. Among, tho counties where the Scott Act has recently been passed we find that'of Ontario. -We have grave doubts whether the Act is carried in one county in ten by the will of the people. It, is open Lq question whether the people, have really spoken at the polls. It may be said that it is their own fault if ■ they have not. They have had tlie opportunity, and if they have-not done so they must bear the conse­ quences of their apathy. Pntting the merits of the Scott Act to'one side for the present, we would just now'point out bow very far the carrying of the ScDtt Act is from being an assured index, of the voice of- the peop’e. We will take the county of Ontario which w© have already referred .to and where- the Act was carried the other day by.a majority ofor th© Actr of the votes polled. There are about 13,000 votes in the county. 5,474 votes were polled ; 3,413 for, .2,061 against. . Not nearly one half the ..A’.Q.t.e.ra.„..polled. their...votes,—so_.that certainly the people did not speak. But we find that only about 9,000, voted at tlie last, general elections for the-Local. Well, even then only a fraction over one half of the num­ ber. of' votes rirdinarily polled were taken, on the. Scott Act. Whether, if th© ordinary vote had been polled, liquor wm obtained at hotels which were formerly licensed would be a gross violation of the truth* But oo these public beewiions probably every third man on© would meet bad his “pocket pistol,” probably filled out of hie jar, keg or barrel V«tf©re he left bpme, and it ia quite within the ©cope of probability to say that more spirit© have been drunk on pqblio daya in Huron since theMst May, than during any similar period in the history of the courity. It must, however, be conceded that a few habitual drunkards have been benefitted. TbW class, cannot get liquor so easily as formerly and consequently have becomo abstain­ ers. Whether the benefit to these few is not in great danger of being more than offset by the very strong temptation to many moderate drink­ ers to hecome tipplers through the ^seductiveness incidental to “drinking on the sly,” and by the still more pernicious system of having a/‘bar” in nearly every house or cellar, is worthy of serious consideration. It may be asked ; What are you going to do about it ? We are afraid tliere is r*o remedy, but moral suasion and Christian enlightenment; or the total suppression of the manufacture of liquoi s except for strictly medicinal purposes ; or a high license system ; or permission to sell and buy beer, cider and wines o.Qly, under restric­ tions similar to those of the Crooks Act, We would like to see the Scott Act get a fair trial, but we do not think it will get what might be termed a fair trial owing to the great bulk of public sentiment being against,Jit; and that anti-sentiinent is largely to be found “among those who were too indifferent to vote on the matter and among many of those who voted for.it wiihout any inten­ tion of holding its provisions binding .as against themselves. The people .have not yet spoken on the Scott1 -Act. _ . o BpiTORlA L NOTES.

But no sooner did this class of moulders of public opinion find that “war’s dread alarum” had been sounded, tba> -dire civil war was actually the oufoome of their coquet­ ting with treason, than these, same grumblers did “right about face” and grumble because there were not more volunteers.

Our sapient cotem tljinks it.ono of ,the result would have.been different we shall not be rash enough to ex-, press an opinion;"but it is quite clear that the people did not speak. Then again in Middlesex where tl-e Act carried by about 3,000, we find that only 8,000 out of a possible 21,’000 votes were polled. The same apathy^ and want of speaking out on the Seott Act Is observable' in' Bruce, Simcoe and other counties. To come down to our own county pf Huron we find " thet tlie“Seott Act carried here by a majority of 1,659 in hri .actual vote pc lied of only 9,928, out, of a possible vote of 14,000. The people have not spoken in Huron in favor of the Act, Only'5,-793. voted for. the Act out of 14,000 .that could i speak out on it. , All will agree that we haveqbown that the people, have not spoken for. or against the Scott Act. irF"tlie" counties we have named, and they are'a fair sample of how1 the public' have voiced on the. Scott Act in the great inajai'it.y-of-caHes where a vote has been taken oil. i’t. Not only do., statistics" show ' that the people, a majority—an appreciable majority of the people—have not spoken for or against the.
