is 11 t whri v l tacmbxt morning octobkr 7 1880 ay i not di8qouragsd the quelph jmiwooutniuee to wandw oir in illogical tirade against the dunkin aotti soou act prohibition the tern perauoe white elephant al it makes an assertion h ono paragraph contradicts itself within h uf a dozea lines it rambles along in a can less mauner tolling the pub ho about some things it knows bat very much more about what it has no knowledge whatever in- this way it monopolizes half a oolnmnoi valuable space in the editorial department otthe daily edition just to in- form its readers that the fwus pates is not at all disheartened beoane the spott act does hot absolutely prohibit die sale of liquor and that it and prohibitionists generally have determined to labor on to secure it possible a legal enactment to pro hibit the manufacture and sale of all in toxicating beverages j but bless your hearkf iend herald that is the goal to which prohibitionists as you very correctly designate them for they lav been prohibitionists from the first have had in view for a score of years and more years ago when prohibition waa hinted at 4 v ir- i i uk i f v l mi iii t i r ii i iii e8que8inq exhibition a large attendanoe a fairly suooessful show but rom for improvement the prize taeer8 the annual fall fair held at georgetown last friday was taken altogether a very good one and the attendance quite satisfac tory the weather was flue aud bright but rathor cool for comfort out of doors and as usual it was about half past three before the judges had completed their labors in the hall and of course visitors were locked out until that hour the entries numbered over a 1000 a hundred or so icsb than last year and although there were very few entries in some classes competition was unusually keen in others there is withal that laok of enthusiasm which would be seen were the show to be held alternately in george town aud acton and it is very easy to see that it needs acton to givo it such another boom as was accomplished on each of the three occasions when it was held here ithe judges were carefully selected and we believe performed their duties to the best of their judgment and in all oases consci entiously the duties of the judges iu ladies work and fine arts would be very greatly facilitated were the directors to arrange all the entries for each class by themselves audi desiguate the class with a the dunkin act was exacted this aotl n0m for ywrs m exhibits in these departments have been hung together in every kind of confusion and half the time of the judges is necessarily spent in ferreting out the several entries in each class for comparison this shows- that the directors and exhibi tors themselves are largely responsible for the late hour always reached before the hall is opened td visitors we hope thib reference will have a salutary effect argus at and ose weddings nds at the first of the 8eason ondera at the composition of tb audienoe olippbrs cupped tho wedding lust week passed off ex ceedingly well the attendance of the general public in tlioir best bibs and tuokors was largo very largo probably larger than at anything of a social nature for somo time past it w u estimated that be tween thrpo and four hundred assembled mid and k 13 and old men and olnlilriii young men maidens old and otherwise jobtlod crowed in seats the interest taken in tho ovent by staid sober married couples iorustj vuiu attempts to all get trout sb- fall winter isee- th was put before the public a temperance campaign followed the evils of intemper ance began to be realized and as a result many good people who had formerly thought very little about the m became inter ested and enlisted for work in due time 4he scott act was presented to the people as a better lever and although not as sweep ing a change as they desirfcd it was accepted as an instrument by which another step to wards prohibition would i be accomplished we have- had a scott act campaign and thousands more of the thinking people of toe dominion have joined the ranks and today an army much more extensive than was ever before in existence in canada and larger perhaps than the herald and its friends imagine is prepared to exert itself in every legitimate way to secure total pro hibition of jbe cursed trafficfrom the land and if the herald is anxldss to be on the winning side in this struggle which promisee ere long to assume a more general national character than at any previous date it will follow the example of some of its more im petuous political ootems and join hands with the prohibitionists the herakl must not expect the scott act to perform miracles it is no reflection upon the justice or success of any law that impossibilities are not accomplished there will we suppose always be bad men at war with society and all that canreasonably be expected ot this or any law is that it should as far as is possible check the evil against which it is directed if the herald will pause and consider this matter a moment it most conclude that it is not the prohibi tionists who are so much dissatisfied with and are violating the scott act and endeavoring to make it appear a fail urebut that the people who are so assiduously engaged in defaming the law and its supporters are among its the heralds very friends and are disciples of the cause it makes such a labored attempt to defend f old old bachelors j and vinegary old niaida rather astonished me- why- they were aotually assembling round the doors long before tltey were open it seemed to be a matter of intenso disappointment to the above mentioned and others that at the oonolusion of tho ceremony tho groom did not kiss his bride his example being follow ed by thej rest of tho party bridesmaids ministers groomsmen and so foith for my part i dont believe in those sort of osoulatorv demonstrations by all tho party jor the benefit of a gaping crowd when mariar and mo got hitched aud decidod that always together lifes voyage should be we did kiss at the conclusion of the ceremony but yar can bet the wholo crowd didnt follow sutt at leant not with my majiar the happy couple have mrs a and heavily

essayist of the new is too much absorb ed in his great labors to deal ont retributive justice to every fly the toronto mail is bringing forth fruits meet for repentance it demands the abolition of the permit system in the north- west it says to open saloons there would betothrow fire among tow and it shows up the absurdity and impudence of- the proposition to remedy the evils aris ing ont of the permit system by allowing the kale of liquor under license while severely criticising the dominion adminis tration in the north west and demanding a reversal of it the mail actually commends the ontario government a liberal ad- ministration for its exertions in bringing the whiskey dynamiters to justice and urges that government to enforce the scott act wrfnm the adjournment of the methodist con ference makes the time opportune for a general estimate of its recent meeting and this must from a purely outside point of view be a highly iavorable one in many respects it has shqwn itself one of tbe most efficient ecclesiastical legislatures that has ever met in this city- perhaps in the do minion it excelled not merely in debating power but in business capacity and its high character was shown alike by its grasp of broad questions of church politics and by its manner of dealing with the minutest details the general attitude of the body was one of wise conservatism in matters of church government and machin ery but jmtn the university question it did not shrink from the adoption of a new and liberal policy whenevercireumstances seemed to make a new departure necessary much of the

i think it is firstrato in all respects an excellent show all round i was when in canada much struck by many of the provincial shows such as that for instance held annually at toronto there of course the representation related rather to peculiar branches of canadian industries here it partakes of a far more general chracter showing in almost every phase tbe marked development of canada during recent years concerning the prospects for the promo tion of intercolonial trade he said indeed when one thinks what scope ihere is for the extension of canadian traffic one cannot but appreciate the wis dom of canada in coming forward so muoh to her credit as she has done at tbe present exhibition but there is another impor tant point a good general will tell yon there is nothing like following up a victory and canadians should be alive to tbe necessity for doing the same thing and the best way to do this would be to establish an attractive permanent exhibition of cauadian products righthere
