license prescriptions referring to the rery unreasonable and unfair criticisms respecting drlowrrs proscriptions for liquor under the scott ict rhich appeared in many of the nexs- papers published in

used for sponging riot for drinking and the total amount is w smali in propor- j tion to the population that itis in itself a grxnd testinioav to the efficacy of the scott act he is a warm and oonsdentiaaa sap- porter of the scott act and avoids ufring any fee for prescriptions which include li- qnor lest he should be charged with having an interest in riving them he points oat that the 202 prescriptions for which he is answerable and has been severely criticised represented the liquor supplied to the village of acton with a popolatioa of 1200 a good part of the vil lage of limehoose and theoaontry round acton for a radius of from four to seven miles host of those mating up the list are or were his own patients and he was perfectly satisfied that the liquor prescribed would be used in no other way than medi- ally a large portion of the prescriptions were given to persons wanting it to mix with other drugs or use in some home re ripe- as to quantities the law will not allow less than a pint to be sold for medi- cine and therefore in cases where only a few osnees were needed the physician had to prescribe one pint- in one case a ty phoid patient who had not tasted stunn- lants of any kind required a pint or a quart hk a flprpn time for ontwardap- pheatioc- li justice to dr lowry as well as to answer some sneering at the working of the scott act in halton on the strength of the liquor comumed there as medicine we give thibstract of the more than plausible de fence of that gentleman we heartily wish that as satisfactory and able an explanation could be given by every physician in the county circum stances clearly point to the fact however that not the members of the profession in haiton are as upright and honorable as dr lowry notes and comments it is understood that tbo minister of edu cation will at the next meeting of the on tario legislature introduce measure pro viding that the municipal- council and school trustee elections shall be held on the same day and not one week apart u at the present time this measure haa long been advocated and its passage will afford general satisfaction the executive committee o the augmen tation of salaries of the presbyterian church incanada met recently in kingston the receipts of fhe year showed the scheme a complete sneoess and the committee re solved to pay immediately to all ministers the full amount aimed at by the general assembly namely 1750 the manitoba legislative assembly on the 22nd of april unanimously adopted the following resolution that in the opinion of this house it is desirable and would be in the bet interest of this province that an act should be passed prohibiting the importation tale or traffic in intorjcaiing liquors thelondonng ntf in a leader on the frequent dynamite outrages says it is intolerable that we are exposed to this succession of plots from a nation prof easing to be friendly with us and with which we only desire to live in peace and amity we know that the americans are aware of the identity of the plotters of these outrages and it would be no hard task for the amer ican government to end the whole thing wc have done oar part we have made the privatemariufactnrer of explosives a penal crime the result is that conspirators have been compelled to change theirgroond of operations and find in america a safe re fuge and a government which will not in terfer with their operations it is impos sible we shall submit to this dynamiters are a eommon enemy which no civilized country can tolerate without disgrace the miscreants have only done what american journals have been allowed to advocate for what rewards have been openly promis ed and far what public meetings have ap plauded the time has arrived to address a remonstrance to that government against allowing this to be continued respectable americans are ashamed of the inaction cf their rulers they must now join ns and make their voicts heard and obeyed we shall do our utmost to guard ourselves it remains for america to aid as as she alone can nip the mischief but our de mand is one that a civilized nation is not to disregard if you want a nobby durable aud cheap alt j
