coming season i 1 i if t 1 j itf i- rl y 1 r i ft pi notes and comments rev w mcdonagh in a sermon at strathtoy recently characterised hore racing as affording satan a better oppor tunity of exercising his influence on man kind than any other form ot iniquity- the general conference committee on itinerancy recommend that the limit of the pastoral term he extended to four years also that no change be made in the system of the appointment of laymen to the circuit duties the report was received j h crownings and h s moleod hotelkeepers ot calgary were last week fined 400 and costs each and sentenced to six months imprisonment at hard labor tor selling liquor two others were sen tenced to 200 and costs and a fifth for gambling to 150 and costs from an article which appeared in a late issue ot the mail it appears the dominion government has determined that the money received in fines for infraction of thrsectt act is to be passed over to the provincial government iff the future for the better enforcement of the act this will pnt things in a more workable shape and the great trouble of how the expense is tf be defrayed will be to some extent averted the temperance people of hal ton afford a striking example for the temperance people of other counties to follow no one cow hears many stones about the failure of the scott act in that county and this result has been atttained by the persistent efforts of wideawake temperance men to enforce the law at all hazards they are made ot the right staff where the scott act is properly enforced it cannot fail to produce good results thorubury noes the important debate on the question of university confederation which has been in p in the methodist general con ference for severai days came to a con clusion abont midnight on thursday when dr dewarts amendment affirming the principle of confederation was carried by a vote of 138 to 113 victoria univer sity will now probably be returned from cobourg to toronto and become connected with the provincial university the mon treal wilaets characterizes this debate as one of the ablest debates which has ever taken place at a conference assembly sjtapd or consistory of any church those of our good temperance friends who have pnt themselves on record as strenuously opposed to local option as being the last resort of tne saloon power should watch the progress of events among the canadians i one of the objects of the scott act nowjn force in many counties in the dominion was to determine whether or not the country was ready for prohibition atid if the local option decided this in the affirmative a general election on the ques tion would follow the difference between the canadian and michigan temperance people is that the first named ore willing to take as near a whole loaf as they can get while the latter most have a whole loaf or nothing but michigan prohibition work is politics while the canadian is tem perance st clair mich republican the number of visitors to the colonial exhibition is very encouraging the canadian gazttu says the number present last week was 222179 this total it is in teresting to note is moire than doable the attendance at the fisheries exhibition in the corresponding week of 1883 jthe latter having been only 110434 at the inven tions and health exhibitions the attend ances in the corresponding weeks were 139160 and 152326 respectively the very large augmentation this year is doubtless due in a large measure to the efforts of the prince of wales in reducing the price of admission to the working classes and to children the total attendance to date is 3043885 as against 2408306 at the inven tions exhibition 233882 at the health exhibition and 1634333 awhe fisheries exhibition i scott aota suooess report of the tarnptranoe oommltue at 1 thsonsraioonlsranos kbady rorprombition thfei report of the temperauoe committee was presented by eev d l brotliour on monday evening it alluded to the auooesa canada temperauoe act uow in force in 25 counties and 2 cities in ontario and over 0 counties in the do miuiou the aggregate majority ot the votes cast iu favor of the act in ontario was 36000 and in the dominion was 5000o the belief was expressed that the countrjy was now ready tor total prohibi- ion a iid that the government before tho oxt e eotions should give tho temperance people assurances that their claims would be respected in regard to the working of tho scott act the following are tho words of the report it gives as great pleasure to recognize the fact that great good lias re sulted to tho people in evory place where the scott aot has been adopted ami enforc ed trade has beenjbonefltod the morals otjthel people made better many homes made happy and crime materially lessen ed it further recommends that law and order leagues should be organised where opposition is strong and the local government called upon to protect those who are entrusted with the enforcement ot the law the report goes on to say we are unalterably opposed to the use ot all intoxicating liquors including wine and beer and repudiate the principles teachings and practices of the association known as the liberal temperance union believing that the use of milder intoxicating beverages lead to the perpetuation ot the license system tbe drinking habit of the people and opens the way bj which our young men will be lead into the path of the drunkard we therefore strongly condemn the action of the senate in attempting to mutilate the scott act by introducing the wine afid beer clauses which if adopted would have rendered the act valueless also in refusing to concur in the bill of amendments to the scott act sent up by the house of commons we recommend that the general con ference enact that nonalcholic wine and that only be used in the bacrament of the lords supper p k thec p railway f mr cyras w field the great railroad magnate has just returned from ft trip over the canada pacific
