E1MTORIA14 NOTES,
AN at ticle referring to the Huroo
Expositor's bilious attack upon
our temperance principles has
been unavoidably crowded out of
this issue. It will appear naxt
week. Mr. McLean and Mr. D.D.
Wilson quite understand the
situation, and our article anent Mr.
Mills' temperance motion seems to
have gone,home.
The Dominion Government has
very properly refused to continue
to grant aid to immigrants. It
was a thoughtless move in the
first place. If the (janadian North,
west in itself does not offer abun-
dant at d satisfactory inducements
to settlers we say let them remain
where they are. It was not just
the thing to pay a man to come to
Canada to receive the presentation
of 16o acres of land.
A RECENT decision of the court
of appeal is of interest to insurers

POINTS IN THE MANITOBA
DISCUSSION.
It is most amusing, and -even.
laughable, in this year of 1.8$8 to
sit down and look back to the Man-
itoba diecussion of 1875 and there,
abouts. At that time the Hon.
Alex, MacKenzie was trying to get
communication between Port Ar-
thur and Winnipeg. And what
did his scheme amount to? He
proposed to build a part rail, part
water route between these two
points, "utilizing the water stretch-
es," as it was called at that time.
A road east of Port Arthur or west
of Winnipeg was ridiculed. We
'wonder if Mr"; MacKensie's scheme
had been carried out, what posit,
ion the Manitobans would been in
to -clay. Suppose fifteen millions
of bushels of wheat had to be rnov-
ed over such a route as above de-
scribed. when would it be got out?
If some cute fellow will only calcu-
late kow many waggon loads could
be carried over such a route per
day, and then find how many day's
work would be necessary to move
this year's crop, he would confer a
boon on the 'politicians. At the
nresent time the 0,1),R, are pro-

--
eei the Editor of the Exeter Time.
DBAR would like to point out
a few points of differeeee between tem-
perance ancl the Scott Act. In our vil-
lage churches on Sunday lase a notiee
was read, stating that a- temperance
convention would be hold in Exeter on
Monday. NOW that was an error. it
was simply a, Scott Act -convention' and
the mistake is frequently made ofcon-
founding the two. And the mistake is
inore frequently made by ministers, I
think,than anyone else. The reason
for this is that the Act cornes to them
latelled "Teenemeerox," and ministers,
as a rule'are not in a position co know
whetherthe Act is conducive of temper-
ance or not. After a 'three -years' trial'
in Huron all impartial observers will
declare that the Act is not conducive of
temperance, yet we find two devisee of
people still trying to keep up the old
andfalse illusion. The fix* chats is min-
istera and others, genuine temperance
men, who have not an opportunity to
know how the Act operates, and who
are led away by the aseertiens and cries
of the second class. The second claSe is
composed of cranks, fanatical persons,
unreasoning enthusiasts, thorough paeed
political demagogues, who hope to reap
in the Act a party advantage, and some
self-opinionated people ivho never will
acknowledge to having made an error of
judgment. These two classes influence
a larger and more important section of
the community, viz : That easy-going,
lame, class of people, who allow others
to think for them, and accept the dic-
tation of their leaders and prototypes.
Thetis how the Act was carried in
every County before, and if carried
again will be by the same means. The
opponents of the Act will be found to be
the large class,•of moderate thinking,
men.

the repeal. -
We want the responsibility for these
concurrent.evils put where it rightly be-
longs, and then let the Act carry if it
will. A law is successful only as the
observance of it makes it so.
If thirty to fortyper cent. of the whole
public, after voting for Scott Act, delib-
erately break the law, there must be
something wrong either with the law or
the methods by which they were induc-
ed to vote for it.
