- Now that Itie1 is in the toils the
question is what will be clone with
him? will In be sleeted to the
.Senate Or given solve• government
position, or will he receive 11i$ just
dues and be made to feel that "the
way of transgressors is herd 9"
The blood of the murdered Scott
says let justice he done. The
blood of the noble fellows who
went so willingly to tate front and
who fell in the fight says ,justice
and anything short of some ade-
quate punishment will not satisfy
the people of this great cotuttry.
That there were grievances was
proven by the appointlitont of the
commission as soon as the rebel-
lion broke out but Biel should be
taught a lesson that although he
escaped from swinging from the
end of a rope a few years ago, a
repetition of the offence cannot be
allowed to pass unnoticed. Na-
tional sins bring national punish-
ment and if justice is. not done this
time our country may be brought
to feel a heavier stroke than she
h .s yet been called upon to bear.
A GREAT deal of rightnous indig-
nation is felt by the temperance
people of our land over the "old
women" of the Senate attempting
to tinker up the Scott Act by allow-
ing the sale of beer, wines, &c.
Grip gives about the best ideaof it
in its last issue. We wish we
could reproduce the picture of six
antiquated looking chaps with
brushes and scissors, daubing and
hacking the Scott Act, while one
old gent mildly remarks "what do
we care for the people, we'er net
responsible." The rum trade is
represented by a man lying under
the large sheet of paper and along
side of him a bag of money. It is
a speaking picture. What the
Commons will do when the am-
mendmeuts come before them re-
maiue to be seen, but we make
this prophecy that if they give
their consent and thus cheat the
temperance people out of what
they labored so eernestlyto obtain
down will go their "apple -cart" at
the next election as sure as they
are men. The eye of the people
is upon them and will not be taken
off until they say what their de-
cision will be. We take back the
statement calling the members of
the Semite "old Llromen" as we
have more respect for the women
of our laud, who hare been the
real sufferers under the reign of
Bing Alcohol, than to call inert
whose feelings have been evidenc-
ed by their actions in this matt er
by that mono.
