Warden Kelly has ruffled the
feathers of a class of persons who
are iu the ba^it of becoming
rampant when public men do not see
through the same spectacles as tbpm-
--elves. The que.stieje at issue,is;
“Has the Warden wilfully endeavor

Council by not having ere this for--
warded a memorial to the Li cut.-
Governor to appoint a salaried
Police Magistrate at an early date, '
for the county of Huron, in accords

that the Scott Act is the same as it

mid it was a Dominion Act aud
; that it would be impolitic for Rim
' to interfere in the enforcement of it
until it was shown it could not be
enforced by the existing machinary.
And as “Lex” states in another
column, that view is a sound one,
for why should the County saddle
itsdf* with an expense of several
thousand dollars a year for the car
rying out of a law the enforcement
of which it is the,duty of the Do

The county has plenty of ways in
which it can profitably expend the

questing to be allowed to expend
them in paying'for that which it is”
the 1‘lM.xhfl duty of} the Federal
Government to attend to and pay
for, AibthfrJgW considered it must
be said that the Warden lias taken
a very discreet course; and it is
amazing • that many well-meaning
people are so stupid as. ta find fault
with him.
We are now informed that D. D.
sociation, who is also reeve of Sea
forth, has issvked a sort.of counter
proclamation to that of the War
den’s .circular. D. D. hopes that
the members of the County Council
“will see it to b6 their duty, to-ad
vise the Warden 'to liave The memV
orial forwarded to the Lieut. Covers"
norjminediately.” We notice that •
D’. D. says tl# Commons refused to
pass the Senate’s amendments to the
Scott Act. The first time those
amendments were sent to the House
it did so refuse ; the second time it"
did not refuse, but prorogued with
out laking action. No one disputes
as a matter of fact that the Scott
Act remains law ’as before the
amendments were' proposed, but it
is also a fact -that the. Commons did
not finally refuse to pass tlie amend
ments.
