A large number of pee prominent returned on Friday night from Brome Co., whe: politicians | nowlton, At the inacet into the reset trae e pretence or Parte 1,400 fines that have been inflicted since January last give no adequate idea of the extent to which the Svoiti Act, being despised, is gene wally violated, Not only does the sale of forbidden beverazes go on in secret regorts, where the worst and most dangerous kinds of liquor js sold, but even in other places it takes pluce--if not_openly, yet under very thi unk disgi aati ises. In fact, people "lind sé to drink beer and other stimulating drinks, and intend to practice that form 'of iminkrence,; "hew-or tro law."' In the city Loudon, where the inclination is not to put down by Scott Act prosecution at the hands of secret informers. The 1,400 con- victions in. Middlesex, during the short term of eight months, shows that a demand exists for beer and otlier forms Of liquor Which no pos- sible legal machinery can suppress. The fact that was gloried in at the Women's Union in itself the eg oat evidence of the failure of he Scott Act, because is shows that it is a tyrannical measure which con- flicts with the habits and customs and wishes of the people. Never- theless the municipalities are losing the license fees they to enjoy, and the fines and costs now levied go into the pockets of the informers and prosecutors instead. It may be all very well for those who are aa ing their purses at the expense of 18 wo! others to boast of thre -siccess of the Scott Act. No doubt it is success- ful in that direction. But it is not so as respects the prime object said to ein. view, namely : The utter des- truction of the manufacture, sale, importation, and use of any liquors, which, if taken to excess, have an intoxicating te ndeney. "See how we are_prospe * say the Scott Act fanatics. " We have punished '1,400 persons in the space of eight "qonths in Middlesex --atoue-for} " breaches of the Scott Act." Pro- perly viewed, the illustration is in the other direction. It shows that in spite of the law, in spite of secret informers, in spite of special Magis- trates, in spite of vindictive fanatics, the people will call for their p weer liquors, and find plenty of persons who are willing to supply the de- mand, even though the informer stands staring them in the face. Such a showing is about the worst that could liave been made as to the success of the Scott Act in so far as it relates to the supprossion of the use of stimulants. .
