At Bonus.“ h Pup-{c uvonl_ ccnvl‘czicng against liquor sellers were obtained. but they persuaded the Magistrste to allow them so many days in which to make up the,amount of their fine. and in the mean- time appealed against the Msglstrste’s decision. Conse nentli the fines have not yet been paid an the appeal has not been disposed of. Matters are thus much worse than before the Act came into toroe. and the temperance people have lost heart con- siderahly. Even i! the a peel is disposed of in their favor. and t e Act declsred valid, there is little prospect of their being able to enforce its provisions. Liquor drinking is terribly in vogue in all the basin nese centres in the Province. and too many consider tippling the proper thing. 80 many made their pile last fall. and made 1 it so easily. that they scarcely know what 3 to do with it. Champagne suppers in‘ this city are an every night occurrence. Indeed champagne is the usual drink, and" I am credibly informed that there is more of that liquor here 'than in either Toronto or Montreal. In makinglong journeys over. the oountrya liberal supply of liquor is considered an essential part of the outfit. and thus the nseot s irits is popularized. This shows how muc the advocates of the Scott Act have to contend with. and how slim their prospects are of being able to carry it into eflect. A correspondent gives this side of .the ‘ Winnipeg story of speculation: Hall a. dozen corpses have been sent to Ontmc within as many weeks of promising men who came up here. lost their heads. and died in the horrors. Death came to some ‘ in the cells; one was frozen to death ; another was rescued by a friend. taken ton his home and nursed. but the sncoor came too late. _A;nother died in the hospital oni Thursday last.

The men who have thus come to an untimely end 1 had met with bed luck in their speculating ventures, or had fiheir heads turned with‘ success and took to wrong drink. As e1 local paper says. the stranger who comes here for the purpose of sliding down hill will find the slope well greased for hi purpose. Dissipation kills quicker here than down east. The very atmosphere is a strong stimulant that acts powerfully upon nerves strained to their utmos tension by our exciting methods of doing business. Add alcoholic fuel to this fire,’ and the human frame melts in it. Th ‘ price of drinks is double and treble and uadruple of what they are below 5 goes a very short distance ' treating a crowd.
