Pxopriator gbe a rilS5C15 Vfl f. FRIDA Y, JAN. 22, 1886-. - WHAT will the Dominion and Local Legislatures do with the Scott Act? There has been any amount of controversy .and debate on this very important matter and something definite will have to be done. 'Whether the Dominion Government deals with the ques- tion or handl it over to our Provin- cial authorities the temperance people of Canada, Blore especially Ontario, want justice. This they have not had and yet they have had to stand the brunt of the bat - while endeavoring to hold. fast to their convictions. There is no retreating however, and unless some satisfactory legislation is granted they will be heard from, all along the line, too. THE Blake banquet, held in London on Thursday evening of last week, was an unqualified suc- cess. There was an immense aud- ience Who were treated to an ex- cellent spread, prepared by the well-known caterer, S. Grigg, of the Grigg House. Addresses were delivered by Hon. Edward Blake, Hon. D. Mills, Hon. A. M. Ross, Hon. 0. Mowat, Messrs. Patterson, Armstrong, Magee, Taylor and others. The speech of theevening was made by Mr. Blake, who, for hours, dwelt upon the publie ques- tions of the day in his able way. The bon. gentleman stands unriv- alled on the political platform as an orator and his effort on Thurs- day evening was very highly ap- preciated and will bear fruit. Now that Sir John has arrived home from England Dominion Parliament will, no doubt, be cal- led at an early date. The Prov- incial Legislature will get down to work in a little while too and the daily newspapers will teem with parliamentary news. It would be a god -send to this country if the speech from the throne and the debate that usually follows were either done away with altogether or each speaker limited to a certain time. This thing of spending days and weeks over the Address is time and money wasted and the whole thing is repeated in debate later on in the session. What this coun- try needs is to adopt a more matter of fact way of doing business, not keep up expenses by salaries of clerks, runners, &e. A. numberof very important questions will come before the Dominion House, par - titularly, this session and thepub lic will watch with no small amount of interest the debates and votes. AT the Blake banquet, in Lon- don, last week, A. M. Taylor de- livered an address in response to the toast of the 'Young Liberals, of Ontario. On behalf of the young men'of Ontario, and more partic- ularly of the Young Liberals, he thanked them for the manner in which they had drank the toast. He said that the time wit's coming when the young Canadians would have to assume their share of the work connected with the government of the country. It was claimed that if the young anon were allowed full swing they would go to fast. That might, perhaps, be true. On the contrary, however, if the older Seen wero not urged an by -the younger they would go too slow. (Applause.) He assured them that the Young Liberals were thor- oughly in sympathy with the policy of the reform party, and were de- voted followers of their great lead- er. I -Ie thanked those present for the manner in which the toast had been received, and assured them in conclusion that at all times and upon all occasions they could de- pend upon the Young Liberals of Ontario to do their duty. (Ap- plause,) WS think the re -appointment of F. S. Scott ae Villageclork was a move in the right direction. Party feeling has run high and there has been in the past too much of a desire to have their own supporters in offiee' but when a Conservative Council, less one member, elected. a man on his merits and let politics go to the winds it is establishing a precedent that will no doubt bear fruit in the future. As to Mr. Scott's ability to fill the position there is no disputation and that he has been a hot supporter of his party is equally evident and his re- election gives the impression, as far as some men are concerned, that politics should bo dropped and the best mon put in the attices. As there has been some little disput- ing about the appointment we state the case briefly so as to set all parties right. Councillor Braker proposed A. Veal as Clerk. Then there was a pause of about five min- utes, after which Councillor Kerr moved the appointment of F. S. Scott. Another Quaker meeting took place, lasting about fifteen minutes. Councillor Wynn was the first man the spirit moved and he seconded the amendment. Coun- cillor Vanstone then came to the relief of Mr. Backer and a tie was the result. This, as has been 'stat- ed elsewhere, was decided by the Reeve by his voting for Mr. Scott. However after the matter was de- cided all expressed themselves as pleased with the appointment so we are satisfied all around. A good deal of street talk was on the wing on Monday and the action of Mr. Wynn and Reeve Rogers strongly criticised by their uncompromising Conservative friends but everything has settled down to its usual quiet and we hope the year's work at the Council Board will be such as to keep down expenditure, attend to the necessities of the place and the best interests of Brussels.
