Tine Home Rule Bill before the English Parliament was defeated on its second reading, by a majority of 80, the vote standing 841 to 311. In reality the bill ie only delayed for Home Rule for Ireland, in some term, is as sure to Dome as anything can be. It is expected that partite. meat will be dissolved and an appeal made to the electors, as there is very little probebttity of anyone being able to form a government that will stand without an election. What the re- sult will be is hard to conjecture but it may safely be said that Home Rule for Ireland will bo one of the planks in the platform and a red hot election will ensue. The debate over this very difficult question has been long and full and, altbougn well advanced in life, the Hon. Gladstone has prov- ed himself able to cope with the strongest. Whether he will live to see the consummation of his scheme or not ie a matter of uncertainty, but Ireland will never be satisfied as she is, and she might not be much better pleased if Home Rule ,were granted. le their wisdom (7) the County Council caw fit to vote down the ap- pointment of a salaried Police Magis- trate for Huron Co. We would line some of those gentlemen, who are so bitterly opposed to the Canada Tem. perance Act to inform ns how they propose to enforce it ? They will re- ply, probably, let it go and give as back the Crook's Act. But that kind of argument tells far short of the mark. The Scott Act is the law for this County, and was backed up by over 1,600 of a majority. One of the provisions of the law is that it must be in force three years before it can come up for repeal vote, so that in- troducing the Crook's Act plea is getting away from the question. Tnen, the Crook's Act did not run it- self, it was backed up by energetic officials, with the Local Government behind them. Some of the Antis say Id the temperance people enforce the law. If this argi went held good and the carrying out of the laws of the land were left to a few people what kind of a country would this be ? It is not foir to the temperance people of Huron County to have this ques- tion trifled with and the law allowed to be trailed in the duet, but We a long lane that has not a turning and someof the violent oppoeitioniete will yet find out that their efforts to bring the Scott Act into disrepute was not a goof card to play. All the temper- ance people. want ie fair play and they bays a palest right to ask for the proper machinery to be set in motion to give the Act a fair and in (partial trial. The Dominion Govern- ment have played sneak with this law of their own passing ; the Local Leg. itllaturs have given it the abunt by witlrolding their free support on the excuse that it is a Dominion law and now the Council think, we suppose, they ;have enrolled their name on the pages of the County Council minutes for acenothing very worthy and com- mendable, but they haven't.
