This ouly explanation is tiia.t the people are tired of the Scott Act. We believe temperance) people, as a' rule, have accepted the ',defeat with good grace . and a deternli cation to work along other and pilhaps more satisfactory lines. We believe there were Inaudreds of lifelong ;And hitherto consistent temperance' workers, who realized and deplored the evils of the liquor traffic, but who were yet neither persuaded of tho' justice or the •efficiency of the Scott. Act. Most Will admit that the Scott Act is badly 'discounted. Dat what about the temperance sentiment.? Itis, we believe, as strong and active as ever. The Scott Act Iles developed it, if only by bringing but in the fullest degree . and most potent way the opposition to it, People lt'avo'.tilought the question .over in the last three years to whorl it never gage a moment's reflection before. Teiaperence sentiment was . Steadily growing before .the Scott Act was heard of„ baud will continue to do so, if it is discarded by the will of the. people. Tile smoke is scarcely cleared off the bathe field and temperance people have, not suliie,iontly well recovered fropl the temporary shock to discuss future plans. Under.

This condition of matters would certainly compromise the Canarlian position.'The Hon. David Mills, being au authority upon coustltutlonal. and; iuternationel law, it was necessary front. a Tory point of view, to have. his •speech answered by a constitutional lawyer from the Gov- ernment side of the Clouse. Dr. Wel- don, Ai. P. for Albert, • N. 'B., who is a professor of international law, . in Albert Oollee, was put up to answer Mills' speech. He is a man of good mind, a c1oge reasoner; and appears quite familiar with law authorities upon the giiestion. Lie is rather a choppy in his style of expression and therefore loses power by his want of easy and deliberate expression: He cosubatted Mr. Mills' argitnlents with vigor and quoted authorities to prove that this contentions were right and Mills wrong: '• To those p -or sinners who -•were not professional lawyers, the whole question of issue was lost iu a haze of'legel. contradictions and op- posing opinions. This part of the dis- cussion was very learned, but tanght us that we would have to rely upon our oavtl common sense, father than upon. the confl 4ting opinions of eoh.stitu tional and' international law interpre• ters. Sir Bicluard Cartwright chimed in after Dr. '.Weldon. Sir Richard is not a lawyer two therefore left that phase of the question severely alone.
