SEAPORTHI FRIDAY:Sept. 11, 1885
, Served Them Right.
We notice that the Ontario -Govern-
ment ineve dismissed the Police
Magis-
trate[ of Smith's Falls, and a couple of
i'
other' Justice of the Peace , because they
Il
refused to eke convictions for infrac-
thins' of the drooks Licensing Act where
the esarty clmpiained against holds a
licenie under the McCarthy Act. The
,
grounds taken` by these recalcitrant
magistrates is,' that although the Su-
preme Court declared that portion of
the McCarthy Act which claims authori-
ty over licenses ultra vires, yet that the
Privy Council, the highest court in the
realm has not yet sustained that decision,
and hence the McCarthy Act still holds
good and_ consequently they decline to
make a, conviltion where the party com-
plained againetholds a Dereillien License,
althoOgh he 'may be proved guilty of a
,
violation of ithe Ontario Act. .This is
certainly a very stupid and untenable
,
view to take of the case. If this view
were to prevail the judgments of the
Supreme Coot would be worthless.
These magisteates go even further than
Sir John himself, for he held the judg-
ment Of the Seipreme Court to be valid
until it Was .olyer-ruled by the Superior
Court, and last session introduced a bill
suspending that portion of the McCarthy
Act declaredillegal by the Supreme
Court until he verdict of the Privy
CMIRCil is pr cured. It is gratifying to
knOr that th Ontario Government have
at lengthtaken a firm stand on this
question, andthave determined that their
law mustbe enforced and obeyed. For
the sake of [peace they have pandered
too Icing to -tlose who for merely parti-
zan purposes would delight in seeing
Ontario rebbed of all the rights she pos-
sesses e It is ' gratifying, therefore, that
they WOW show a disposition to enforce
1
the lights of he Province in this mat-
ter with a Irm hand, and to punish
e:very Iperson, rho stands in the way of
the law. Every magistrate who is either
so pig-headed or so bitterly ' partizan
that lie will not aelminister the law;when
it is set before him, and who refuses to
punish infractions of the law he ha's been
appointed to administer, deserves dis-
missal, and the course of the Govern -
in sending, all such to the right -
about; face will be commended by all who
desire to see the rights of their Province
vindidated.
A Mammoth Paper -
The Toronto Globe on Wednesday last
signalized its forty-first anniversary by
isisitiug a monster paper of forty pages.
ia'paper, it is said, is the largest ever
issued from any Canadian press. It is
mainly, occupied by advertisements and
business announcements of merchants
and manufacturers of the various cities
and towns in the Dominion, and is de-
signed for the immediate use and inior-
Illation of those visiting the Ind-ustrial
Exhibition. It affords a very good index
not ouly of the enterprise of the publish -
1
ers, but also of the capabilities and re-
sourdea. of the particular constituency
Which it represents. Some idea of the
proportions of this manuncith sheet may
which are given concerning if: The
be formed from the following particulars
issne bf the,paper is thirty-five thousand
copies. The weight of the paper used
w a ine and a half tons. The copies,
if leid in a pile foldecl as they came from
the press, would reach half a mile high
and,P6 feet beyond. If laid in a con-
, .
tinnons string, page by page, they would
reatch nearly 255 miles, or as far -as from
T Oronto past Lake ipissing to Lake
Teiniscamingue ; or from Toronto in an
air line to fifty miles beyond Detroit.-

.A. Rany of Temperance Men.
The Ontario Braugh of the Dominion
Temperance Alliauee has issued a call
for a convention of temperance workers
to ibe'helel in Toronto, on Monday and
Taeaday next. The object of the
convention is to consider the gravity
of the situation ef the temperance cause
in connection with the late tampering
with. the Scott Act. The circular, is -
seed by the secretary, among other
stateinents contains the following which
needi no explanation : -
"The Ontario branch of the Dominion
Alliance has issued a call for a Conven-
tion to be held in the Richmond Street
Methodist church, Toronto, on Monday
and Tuesday, September 14th and 15th,
to take into consideration the gravity
of the situation of the temperance cause,
connection, with the late tampering
with the Scott Act. The circular, among
1 others c • retains the 'following. 'f The
liquor trail c, beaten at the polls, now
seeks to . 'fluence the legislation so as to
prevent ti e successful working of the
Act. At he last session of Parliament,
the Sena passed an amendment except-
ing Beer nd Wine from the operation
of the At ; this was rejected by the
House of ommons, the Small amend-
ment beini defeated by a vote of 86 to 78,
or by a I ajority of only eight. It is
generally eelieved that the promoters of,
the Beer nd Wine amendment will re-
introduce it at the.next session of Par-
liament, hile it is an open secret that
the liquo party are resolved to secure,
if possibl , the defeat et the. next Gen-
eral Eleition of the noble eighty-six
who stoos up to be counted against Beer
and Win and for the Scott Act in the
entirety of its prohibitory clauses. .Un-
der these circumstances, the Exedutive
of the Ontario branch of the, Dominion
Alliance feel it imperative that a -Con-,
vention of the friends of Prohibition
should be held, to receive the reports of
the working of the Act, and the relation
of Government Officials to the matter of
enforcement; to consider the duty of
temperance men under the circum-
stances; also to mature e policy for the
future guidance of temperance electors,
and to ta,ke such further steps as may be
necessary to protect our friends from the
assaults o the liquor party in the next
general el ction."
THE Go erich Signal urges the Local
Governm nt to appoint a Policee. Magis-
trate for t is county whether the mem-
orial from the council be forwarded by
the Ward n or not. We do not think
the Gover ment would be justified io
doing thi . If ;we mistake not, the
Governm t can only make the appoint-
ment at t e request of the county coun-
cil, and ujitii the memorial as directed
by the co ncil is forwerded, -the Govern-
ment can have no official notice of the
desire of the council in the matter, and
hence we hink the Government would
not be justified in taking this . responsi-
bility upon themselves, nor do we think
they will do so. If the county's repre-
sentatives in the council fail to do their
duty, the people Must suffer the conse-
quences, as the Government have no
right to interfere between the people
and their representatives. The people
have to look to warden Kelly and those
members of the County Council who
support hire in this illegal act. They
have the remedy in their own hands,
or at least they will have it next, Jan-
uary and if they do not see fit to apply
that remedy' the fault will rest with
themselves and not with the Govern-
ment. We do, however,, heartily en-
dorse and approve of the following
sensible suggestion made by the Signal
on this • subject when it says: • The
Police Magistrate should be. appoint-
ed provisionally, and hold his office on
condition that the Scott Act or similar
prohibitory legislation continues to pre-
vail -in the county. Should the .Act be
repealed, the office should be abolished.
This is the only way such an appoint-'
:
ment should be made under the present
condition of affairs.. It would satisfyI
the most ardent temperance men, and,
would also give a certain degree of satis-
faction to moderate- opponents of the
Scott Ackwho believe in seeing the la*,
now that we have it, as well adininister-
ed as it can be."
THE London Ad-vertiser, in a recent
issue, in making an earnest appeal to its
friends to assist in extending its circu-
lation during the corning season says:
"Our readers must bear in mind that
the priceatwhich the Advertiser is
"furnished is much, below its actual,
" value, being hardly more than the1
" costof the paper on which it is printed.";
This is no doubt the case, and -the same
might be said with equal truth of- every
city weekly in the Dominion. There is
not one of them that nets sufficient from
their subscription to pay for the blank
paper upon which itis printed, and this
is the smallest pordrin of the expense.:
Why theee newspaper priblishers should
continue to supply the public with an
article at a price much belowethe actual
cost of production is something we doubt
if any of them could give .a reason for;
and the only way in which they can con'
tinue doing it is by robbing some person
else.- They are not so patriotic, nor yet
so foolisbeas to continue thiirlosing
busi-
ness at their own expense. The fact is,
however, that the readers of the daily
papers have to make up for the less on
the weeklies. If a legitimate price were •
charged for the weekly newspapers, thd
dailies would be considerably 1.heaper
than they are now. It is scarcely possi-
ble, however,' that this sort of thing can
continue long, as it is not in accordance
with.the ordinary rules .which govern
human 'nature that the business man,
who supports the daily paper, will long
submit to be bled that his rtiral fellow
subject may be able to procure his literar
ture at less than it actually cests. How-
ever, be this as it may, we in.the mean;
time comm.end this statement 'of the
Advertiser to those who are elsposed to
feel that the publishers of lodal papers,
who have no dailies, .and who have to
depend upon their weeklies alone, are
asking an exorbitant price for their pa-
pers because they cannot: corne down to
the price asked for the larger city sheet.
We know that there are few who object
to paying a reasonable' price for a good
local paper, but there are many who do
not understand why there should be
euch a difference between the price of .a
good local paper and 6.1 good . city
weekly. To . such, the above
will furnish :the key. The city
paper is published at a loss, and the
deficiency is made up on the daily edi-

tion which is patronized by the business
corn/11May. The local weekly has to
depend upon itself, having no daily, to
fall back upon, and hence has to be made
to pay its own way, and it would not do
this if issued St a price that would not
do more than pay .for the blank paper
upon which it is printed.

THE ' Convention of the Young
Liberals, of the Province, will Ise held
in Toronto on Tuesday and Wednesday
next. The object of this proposed
gathering is, we believe, to bring the
young men from the different parts of the
Provinee together for the purpose of dis-
cussing among theinseleies matters per-
taining' to the welfare of the country,
and in this way infuse into the young
men, who in a few years will occupy the
prominent public positions, an interest
in public affairs, and et the same time
secure a unity of sentiment and action
among thew from the different sections.
The object is a good one, and we have
no doubt the Convention will be pro-
ductive of much good, and will have a
weighty influence in shaping and con-
firming the future policy of the Liberal
pitrty in -Canada. The young men
wield a powerful influence. They are
always acttye and enthusiastic, and cer-
tainly they have even a greater interest
in the welfare of their country than
their seniors, whose race is well run, can
pp' ssibly have. That they will fully
recognise the power of their influence,
and act with doe caution, we have no
doubt, and we hope they will also recog-
nise the importance of the responsibili-
ties resting upon them, and will show
their interest in the public affairs of the
country by attending the Convention in
large numbers. We hope the county of
Huron will be largely represented. The
Young Liberals of this county are'
worthy sons of noble sires, and they
should see to it that their county is pro-
perly represented on Sit occasion of such
material importance to their party and
their. country , as the forthcoming con-
vention.
THE Provincial Exhibition is being
held in London this week. In point of.
weather the Provincial is having its
usual luck. We believe, however, that
despite this importaot drawback the
exhibits in almost every class are more
numerous than has been the case at the
Provincial for sortie years. -This was
expected, as a more prosperous agricul-
toral centre than London does not exist
irj Canada, and the success which the
Western Fair has attained 'is proof of
this. The attendance of, v isitors, however, •
has thus far been small; and the receipts
light, and it is more, than probable that
the Directors will again have to face,a
deficit this year. The industrial, which
opened at Toronto on Wednesday, and
dos a on the 19th inst., promises well.
Shoulfl the weather befavorable next
week he Industrial will be a greater
succe than ever before. The Toronto
p.eopl are, .very justly, proud of their
big sh mr: The success which has attend-
ed it year after year is due in a great
degre to the enterprising management,
and g es t� prove that shows,like every-
thing lee to be successful, mist- keep
abreast ef the tithes. In this respect the
Provincialhas fallen behind, and to this
fact, in great measure, may 'be attribut-
ed its decadence. I
Trnh appeal from the Courtbf Regina
to the Supreme Courtof Manitoba, has
