IN speaking of the compensation
theory the Montreal Witness speaks
as follows :-The wind is so strong-
ly in favor of prohibition that there
is no need of hatching the direc-
tion which straws take. The whole
bulk of the bluer interest cannot
stand up against the gale. Iu the
face of the big deputation of liquor
dealers to Ottawa the other day,
praying for compensation in ease
of the worst coming to the worst
with them, Parliament has refused
by 0 majority of 31 to affirm the
principle of compensation. That
is a knock down blow for the liquor
interest. We are sorry to notice
that the principal members of the
Government, with the honorable
exception of Sir Leonard Tilley,
voted in favor of the unprecedent-
ed and mischievous proposition.
Oei Thursday of this week the
Scott Act came before the electors
of Elgin County, St. Thomas city,
Lambton County, aucl Missisquoi,
Quebec province, and they were
asked to pass a verdict for the
coming three years. What the re-
sults are We (l0 not know yet but
11.0 1101)0 for the best and feel per-
suaded that the three out of the
four will say Scott Act. St. Thom-
as cannot do better than follow
the example set by Guelph. Wel-
lington County will vote on April
2nd, and Chicoutimi, Quebec, on
April 9th. Information has been
received that the Scott Act peti-
tions for the counties of Perth and
Middlesex are now before the Gov-
ernor in Council, and it is expect-
ed the same day will be fixed upon
which the Act will be submitted in
both counties. The day will prob-
ably be officially announced with-
in a week.
AN exchange says :-Mr. Camer-
on, of Huron, made an able speech
on the subject of tho representation
of the Northwest Territories in the
House of Commons. There is no
doubt whatever, that as soon as
there is a sufficient population in
a district of the Northwest to re-
turn a member to Parliament, in
consequence of the provisions of
the 13. N. A. :let, representation
should 1)0 given, told of there is

Assinibuia and Alberta, 03113011 has
been represented, Stops ought to
have been taken by the Govern-
ment to ascertain their members,
and provide them with several
representatives ere this, It is very
desirable that there should be
adequate representation from these
new and remote districts. It is
impossible for •1)ersens living far
away from a district always to
adequately realize the wants of its
population, Those Who reside in
the country and know its oircu)n-
stannces can best express the feel-
ings and sentiments of the people,
and can enable the House to form
a more correct judgment than it
otherwise could on these matters.
