A. REMOUNT, Woorevica Feb.21. : Hon. Mr. Mowat and the Scott t' Act. t A few day e ago a deputation compos- ed of Profesalm Goldwin Smith and other members of the Executive of the Liberal Temperance; !Union, waited upon the Provincial premier and the Minister of liducaition to protest against the intro- duction of Prohibitionist text bottles into the public schools. They also objected to the general funds of the Province being used to amist in the enforcement ef the Scott !Act in counties where it had been: adopted, and urged that the trial of Scott Act eases be left with the Coun- ty Judges, er that only competent legal gentlemen Ise appointed Police:Magis- trates. Me. Ross, in reply to' the depu- tation, defended the manual that had 1 i been prepaeecl for use in the, Public Schools, and !which deals with the ques- tion of temperance, and said: it -was " wise to raise a warning note to the i‘ school children, and even to brain - "workers egainst the habitual use of , "alcohol." Hon. Mr. Mowat in his re- edy said: . "No doubt it would be -a gret thing if the Government could always !Appoint as Police Magistrates men of good legal ability. The reason they could not do so was that barristers would reedy ac- cept office Of this -kind. 'Whenever the Government had an opportunity they always appointed such men. When they wild not find men of this stamp, it was their duty .o do the best they could with the materiel available. It was aurely of immense consequence that the lath should be enforced. They might not all agree as to the Seott Act, but not to enforce it where adopted would be to have free trade in liquor. If the Scott Act was a mistake, iti was far better to enforce it than to allow free trade to exit. The Scott Act in several places was not en- forced as he would like to see it enforc- ed, and. the state of things was fearful. He would- be glad to leave the dealing of Scott Act eases to the ordinary magis- trates, but he found that ordinary magis- trates would not act because it as dan- gerous and brought odium upcin them. ;He had received a report frorn aet inspec- tor, who stated he wished tot proceed 'against a person for a violation of the law, and had to apply to thirteen magis- trates before he found one who weuld agree to act. As to the reevesiof coun- ties, they did not care to act as ma,gis- 1 trates even in ordinary cases. It was said it was an unfair thing o make counties who were opposed to the Scott : A.ct contribute their proportion Put of the Provincial funds to enforce it in other counties. Well, it was for the benefit of the w'hdle community to have the laws enforced. The principle of providing the funds pettier out of Provincial moneys and partly Ont of local moneysiwas ob- served in the administration Of jostle() t generally." _ Canadian Horses for; the English Army. I . Of late years nO branch of agrieulture has paid so well as the breeding ofhorses. Every other kind of stock might be dull ef sate and low in price, but a good horse commanded, a ready market at a re- munerative figure. Indeed had it not been for the good prices received for horses during the past few years many of our farmers would have „ suffered severely ciwing to the extremely uneatis- factory Opeclition of the markets for cereals Mad other farm stock, and the ready cash received for the surplus horse flesh has tided many a good man over a tight place. This demand, however, has prineipally been for- large? heavy horses, b'red from imported stock, and gpod driver or carriage animal alized a itea.sonable price, the demand or these has not been nearly so brisk as for the others. It would now seem that a new era is about to dawn in, the horse business which will make it more prPfitable and consequently. more important as well. Hitherto our main market has been in the United States, but as will be seen from the following letter a market for another dens of horses is about being opened in England. Last year a couple of officert from the British army visited this country for the purpose of purchasing a trial lot of horses for arrnie purposes. Owing ,to circum- stances which we pointed out on a for- mer occasion, these gentlemen Oid not succeed ta securing as good a class of a,nimals BS they might have done, and they reatly paid more for them than they should. It was feared, that on this account, our prospects in this direction had, been somewhat iejurecl. It now eppears, however, that john Bull is aot quite so fastidious in the - matter of horse -flesh as we supposed he was. The trial lot taken last year seem to have given such good satisfaction that faction; DEAR Mn. ARLING,—I beg to inform you ithat the British Governmentehave decided to cerry' on annually the -pur- chase of hordes in Canada principally for riding purposes, for the Imperial army, to the extent, if procurable, of about 150 from Ontario aied the older provinces and 150 from the ranches in the Northwest Territories or. British Columbia. An officer of the British service, who will reside inthe Dominion, has been appointed to purchase for a term of years. This officer is Colonel Goldie, : assistant Adjutant -General, Halifax, Nona Scctia, to whom any further communieations on this subject should be addressed., Colonel Geldie ha e left England for Halifax by this last Allan steamship. An army , veterinary surgeon, probably Mr. Mathews, who accompanied the delegation to Cafiada last summer, will shortly be detailed. No purchasing will take place for this year until 1st of April next, but Colonel Goldie will most likely dall on you at Ottawa about 31st .March. If you will kindly afford Colonel GolOie the same assistance this coming season as you gave us last, I should be much :obliged. Although the nunhber required. is not , • very large, yet it is a good ibegifining- and if the supply be reasonably adequate and the animals satisfactory, the demand eill rapidly increase. This isl a mere fraction of the number annually requir- ed for the service, and besides this let Canadian horses once become fashionable and serviceable in the army and other markets will rapidly open ep. ' Ontario is admirably adapted for the breeding of all classes of serviceable horses, and our breeders, while providing for the i American demand, should d, all in their power to retain and improte this new market, and we have not the least doubt but they Will dome Ontario farmers are never behied where their material interests are concerned. Had they been slow or indifferent ' taking ir advantage of every fever -able eircum- stance,ithey would not have made' the rapid progress which has marked their .course, nor would they new be able to boast of the finest and most progressive agricultunel province on the Americae continent. . while a always 'r mememseasemeemsm THE HUrN EXPOSITOR. • other officee which act of itself renders the seat vacant and permits the issuing of a Writ for a geW election.

COULTER, the late member for Haldimand, has had rather a' rdugh ex- perience so far in political life, and he has, no doubt, realised the truthfulness of the old adage that there is nothing so sure as disappointment. It will be re- membered that he was elected last fall after a very keen contest in which the whole strength of the Government was : pitted against him. Before he had an opportunity of taking his seat Parliament was dissolved, and he had to fight an- , other battle. At the' recent election he wat opposed' by a new man, 'but was elected by a majority of five. His opponent obtained a scrutiny of the ballots before the County Judge. In the scrutiny it was found that, one of the Deputy Returning officers had im- properly marked the ballots and the Judge decided them not good and thieve them out. This left Mr. Coulter in a minority of one vote, and his opponent, Dr. Montague, has been declared elect- ed by the Judge. It may be in accor- dance. with law, but it is manifestly a gross injustice that a candidate who has clearly been the choice of the people should be thrown out, at in this inetance, by the stupidity or wilful wrong doing of a Deputy Returning officer,. if it is in accordance with law, the law should be amended as sobn as possible. ever, found that t resulted in largely i and adiling to his ural consequence th supporter of the Na the 11:st election w supp?tr of the p Govern,ment He of labor and it is large degree that .t clidatles, received su large majority at And so Mr. Senior reward of his politi reached the zepith being appointe4 to Thue it. is again th renegades a hack, which costs over half a million . prostituted to the exigencies and is he if the people had a would be left to rus scurity.

There was a large attendance, and every portion of the Riding was represented. After full and mature de- liberation it was decided to enter a pro- test against the return of Mr. Porter on the ground of corrupt practices by agents. Several cases in hand were submitted to, a committee, and after full investigation it was decided that on sev- eral different cases there was' sufficient evidence to void the election. It was also decided that Mr. Cameron should not be permitted to bear the cost of the protest, and a considerable sum was sub- scribed in the meeting to defray the ex- penses, and arrangements were made to -raise the balance in the municipalities. This is as it should be. If what we learn is reliable, and we believe it is, the triumph of the Censervatives in West Huron will be short lived, and al- though,Mr. Porter may be permitted to represent the constituency for one ses- sion, it will be for only one, at all events, until he is again endorsed by the people. 1 TO LETTER.
