The Same—with a Difference Some very goodl and esteemed friends of the .NEW ERA have taken exception to our editorial "sparks of last week concerning the defeat of the Scott Act: We are sorry for this, be- eause we like to be at peace with all mankind. They allege that we have "fallen in with the enemy," and have taken up their battle cry. The par- ticularly offending paragraph we pre- sume was that wherein we said :— "The only remedy for the liquor raffle. is by moral teaching, which has made such a marvellous change in the habits ot people of this country during the past quarter of a century. That system of education must nw be resumed and continued until the moral sense of the communise Re generally nouderuns whiskey selling and whiskey drinking as it ;low con- demns theft and murder. Perhaps if the terms of that parte' graph had been qualified a little our !censors would agree with it. How- ever we are prepared to stand by all that we have said. Legal suasion su- perceded moral for three years, and because wvdid not continued the two we are just where we are. Every one knows very well that we have no sympathy with the liquor traffic, but we are not going to shut our eyes to the fact that a good many in the com- munity are not of the same opinion. Now a prohibitory liquor law would not have an atom of influence, moral- ly or legally upon ourselves, because prohibition is a part of our daily life. Upon those of a different opinion it would exercise a legal restraint. If they were net morally convinced of its need, they would only consider themselves bound to abide by it, be- cause it was law, and any temptation to avoid its requirements, would pos- sibly be yielded to without a second thought. Teach those individuals that drinking is injurious to them- selves and to others, and they would be all the more likely to observe a law framed for their special benefit. The agitation concerning the Scott Act must have had some benefit on the public mind, anti led to conclu- sions that would not have been reach- ed so soon had not the agitation taken place. The non -enforcement of the Scot Act, or the non -efficiency of it, if that term suits better, has to some eaten undone the good that had been ac complished. A good many people say, and per haps with some truth, that the defea of the Scott Act does not mean the people are opposed to prohibition and yet it does not indicate that they are in favor of it, absolute and entire People are so easily swayed by im- pulse, and carried away by enthusi- asm, that they are apt to believe things are better than they really are. For the present the Crooks Act is the law of the land. We shall'see how far public sentiment will support its enforcement. Proportionate with that will be a desire for prohibition, and in the meantime it is a waste of words to defnand what the people apparently do not yet want. We shall raise not the slightest objectiog to any measure that will curtail the powers of the traffic, but then moral teaching must go on; people must recognize that the liquor buyer is just as bad as the liquor seller„ and until this is is accomplished, tie law will have behind it the sentiment that is necessary for its proper observance and due enforcement. Hon. Charles Drury was sworn in as Minister of Agriculture in the Ontario Government, on Tues- day. He represents East Simcoe, and his appointment will be ac- ceptable to all parties. Ho is a practical farmer and a fairly good speaker, and is known in the neighborhood in which he resides as "a Methodist local preacher." lie will assume Some of the duties hitherto performed by the Hon.

A memorial to the „Dominion Government is in circulation among members of the House of Commons, asking fora pension to the widow of Hon.Thomas White, While this might be regarded as a mark of respect, it is wrong in principle, !end there is nbt the slightest necessity for a pension to one who ,has a fail inierest on in estate Veined at .$50,000; There must he something ;14. cally wrong with either the man- ner of living at Ottawa, or the uneeasonable hours kept by num- bers of parliament; for DO less than ten members have died since the session commetced, and sev- eral are said to be seriously ill.

E,Fonotny is not the order of the day a.t Ottawa. The re-election of the Liberal candidate in Kent, on Wednesday, by a majority of 109., is a decided victory for Unrestricted Itecipreaity, as the issue was fought on this line, notwithstanding the fact that the GoVernment candidate had the Gov- ernment at his back and promised all sorts of public improvements, provided he were elected. The peo- ple have expressed their approval of the Liberal platform.' , An Advertisement, in a daily reads: "Splendid opening—village wants newspaper." There are a good many villages that want newspapers, and the inhabitants thereof think that all a publisher has to do is start a newspaper and success is assured. Asa mat - ler of fdet,taking Ontario all over, one-half of the newspapers pub- lished could drop out of existence and then leave only a moderate living for the. balance: If a bigger farce than the Do- minion Franchise Act ever exist- ed, we would like to know what it is.

The wonder is that so-called intelli. gent people can he misled by what is self-evident imposition, but the old adage "people like to be hum- bugged" is just as true to -day as ever. We have known people to spend hours discussing some so- called supernatural transaction which it could be demonstrated in five minutes was only a clever trick and could not possibly be anything else.

The first case taken up was the Queen v. Jas.W. Man. set, for forgery of .a promissory note for $80, dated in January last, and assumed to be made by Thomas Evans to the prisoner or bearer. The forgery by the prieoner was clearly proved, and also the uttering of the forged note, whic Ii the prisoner sold to a Mr Benjamin S. Cook. The peieoner was convicted and sentence deferred. Queen v. F. Baer was a prosecution under the Chat -hon Act for the seduc- tion by the defendant of Sarah Ann Little, a girl over twelve and under six- teen years of age. The defendant de- nied his guilt. It came out , in the course of the evidence that the girl's father had been advised by a solicitor to commence criminal proceedings for the seduction, in order to settle the Di - fair by getting damages. The judge told the jury it would be unsafe to con- vict on such evidence, and the defend- ant was acquitted. The grand jury concluded their labors by bringing in true bills in the Queen v. Emanuel It. Bisset, for unlawful and malicious wounding and doing grievous bodily harm to one John H. Hyndman ; in the Queen v. John H. Hyndman, for assaulting a peace officer in the execu- tion of his duty ; and in the Queen v. Wm. Watson, John Hooper, Van Nor - Man, Van Rensselaer, Wm. Hanna and W. G. Nicholson, for wounding Robert Durnian with various intents. Five true bills were also returned against Thomas C. Edmunds, late agent of the Singer Manufacturing Company at Clin- ton. Three were for forgery of money receipts and two for embezzlement .of moneys and chattels. No bills were returned in the Queen v. Geo. HMind- sor, Jonas Baker and Gilbert Deck for larceny, two indictments, and in the Queen v. Patrick O'Donohoe for assault- ing a peace officer and a person acting in aid of e peace officer, two indict- ments. The Queen v. Hyndnute was postponed to the general sessions, and Queen v. Watson and others to the next assizes. The grand jury were discharg- ed on Thursday, after three days' hard work. ' LONDESBORQUGH METHODNT CHURCH. re the Editor of the New Ere DEAR Sfe,—Permit inc to a;cupy a small space of your paper, in order to give my testimony in behalf of a friend of yours and mine. I have -no hesita- tion in saying .that the large majority of those who are acquainted with the circumstances that have transpired in the Londeshoro• church lately, are very indignant and annoyed at the way in Which Mr Adams has been used. To think that a man whose character is, above reproach, Should•be turned out of the church (because he dared to stand up for. the right anti condemn the wrong) is a very good reason for their indigna- tion. He has been a member of the church for more than three years, was elected to the offices of assistant class leader, steward and parsonage trustee. He also was a member of the quarterly board. We feel that the church has and will sustain a great loss by his re- moval, as he was always looking out for the church's interests, besides being a very liberal contributor to the church, ever since he came to Londesboro. He was chosen a—teacher in the Sunday school, and filled the position with cre- dit. He was elected Superintendent at last annual meeting. (This did not suit one or two parties, and they are working against him since.) Under his efficient management the school has been very successful, and was in a good way of doing well, when this trouble came. There is a marked change since we lost him. He was always able to command the attention of the school, more so than most people San do. Un- known to Mr Adams a petition was got up, and signed by the teachers and of- ficers of the school, and presented to the Chairman of the District, asking that he be retained as Superintendent, as we felt that the school would suffer by his removal. I understand the Chairman took no notice of the petition. I hope the quarterly board will take the good of the circuit to heart, and not al- low matters to remain as they are at present, but try to get Mr Adams back to the church. I believe there is con- siderable jealousy at the bottom of the matter. Yours truly, Joni; BR UNSnoN — - There are five feet of snow still on the ground in the country district abbut Montreal.

But if they will persist in violating the Act; in selling after hotirs ; in keecling open bar on Sundays, either secretly or otherz wise; in selling liquor to children or in supplying it to' persons al- ready intoxicated, the need look for no further interference on the part of the public. Even those most strongly opposed to the Scott Act are aware that much evil attends the indiscriminate sale of liquor. What they have in mind is the beet practical mode of lessening the evil. So far as experience goes that can be reach- ed the most readily through the success of the due enforcement of the Crooks Act: and we sincerely hope that it will be sustained by the full force of public opinion as the most just and workable way of meeting the regirements of the ease."

'The best medi- cal skill in the city was taxed to the ut- most, but to no purpose. She was racked with convulsions for forty-eight hours. Our doctor did his best, and went away saying the case was hopeless. After she came out of the convulsions, she was very week and all her hair fell out. The doctor had left us about a month when I concluded to try "War' ner's Safe Cure," and after having taken six bottles, along with several bottles of "Warner's Safe Pills," I saw a decided change for the better in her condition. After taking twenty-five bottles there was a complete cure. My daughter has now a splendid head of hair, and weighs more than she ever did before. Apts-A0 Elliott, Esq.

A loss of arnhi• titan, a great desire to urinate, without the ability to do so, coming from me as it were in drops, the urine was of is pe- culiar color, and contained considerable foreign matter. I because satisfied that my kidneys were in a congested state, and that I was running down rapidly. Finally I concluded to try " Warner's Safe Cure," 'and in forty-eight hours after I had taken the remedy I voided urine that was as black as ink, contain- ing quantities of mucus, pus and gravel. I continued, and it waknot many hours before my urine was of a natural straw color, although it contained consider- able sediment, The pains in my kid- neys subsided as I continued the use of the remedy, and it was but a short time before I was completely relieved. My urine was normal, and I can truthfully say that I was cured.

My physician said I had enlarge- ment of the liver, though they gave me only temporary relief. Hearing of the wonderful cures of " Warner's Safe Cure," I began its use, and after L...had taken two bottles I noticed a change for the better. The pains disappeared, and my whole system seemed to feel the benefit of the remedy. I have continued taking "Warner's Safe Cure" and no other medicine since.
