A GREAT deal has been said as
to a solution of the knotty prob-
lem "How to deal with the County
Council question." Fewer mem-
bers in the Council ; doing away
with one session in the year, or
leaving the whole matter in the
hands of 3 or 5 commissioners
have been suggested as probable
and possible schemes, but none of
them, as yet, appear feasible.
Cutting down tate number.of repre-
sentatives may be well enough.
but doing away with one session
we do not ,gree with. For in-
stance the December session is
dropped and till tho business from
the June meeting is carried to the
January Council. Perchance half
of the Reeves aro left at home af-
ter the election and the affairs of
6 months come before men entire-
ly unacquainted with the ins and
and out of the work. Why could
not the session be shortened to 3
• days instead of 6 ? It would light-
en the expense considerably. The
appointment of Commissioners
does not appear to mast with the
hearty approval of many. One
thing is certain some change
should be made and the sooner the
better.

forth, and on this point an ex-
change very clearly sets forth the
following :
"Though the petition does not
in so many words ask for compen-
sation, it expresses the idea that
the absence of such a provision
renders the adoption of the meas-
ure an Act of confiscation. The
proposition to compensate those
whose business is affected by the
Scott Act cannot be entertained.
It would be fatal to the success of
the Act in the great majority of
cases, by putting into the mouths
of its opponents a very strong arg-
ument as to the increase of taxa-
tion which a compensation clause
would involve. The hardship
which the transition stage from
license to prohibition brings to
those who are engaged in the traf-
fic must bo admitted. But, after
all, it is no greater than the loss
and disturbance entailed by outer
changes owing to legislation. No-
body talked of compensation to the
interests which were adversely af-
fected by the N. P. The adoption
of the railway system was attend-
ed by groat fluctuations in popula-
tion, and trade and industry were
forced into new channels, but there
was no compensation for those
who sustained business losses in
consequence. The brewers, distil-
lers and liquor dealers have cert-
ainly no stronger claim. If they
are wise they will read aright the
signs of the times, and steadily
curtail their operations and reduce
stocks, so as to be ready to stand
from under when the day of gen-
eral prohibition comes, Gs it is
surely coming." recitations were given by S. McKibben
