From Globe. Milton, March 1. â€" To-day'a result was a great surprise, not only to tho support- ers of tho Act, but also to thu Antia. The Rev. A. K. Runs, after the result was known, proposed the followin)» reasons fur tho defeat : â€" First, the voters' list was prejudiciid to tho Act ; second, tho illejjality »( the petition, causing people to l)a less interested in the contest; third, the late Haltun Dominion election alien- ated .1 lar<;o niiiiiber of the supporters of tlie Act ; fourth, probably less interest is taken in tho Act at present, as there is an increased desire for general prohibi- tion. .•OJUTCII COLLARS A til'MClALTY. ik ♦^K- S^l â€" ii â€" ii Sentiment Stronger than Erer. Dujff.rUi Adocrtucr. The Temperance Sentiment in Halton has not weakened â€" it is stroii^^er to day than ever it was. The vote does not show any revulsion of feelinij on tho tern- peranoe ((Uestion. It merely shows that skilful interference aided by money sup- pliuil by brewers and distilleries may snatch a venlict ((uite contrary to the sentiments i^f the people. L.iST NOTICE.

This much is certain, the defeat in Halton is the severest blow yet dealt against the Scott .\ct in Ontario. It has been tried in thu balance and has been found wantini;, and tho "banner county" i.s the baniior county no longer. There is a growin'.; sentiment in this country in favor of teniperancu, but no terrorism of tho churches, no bjistard le!;i.slation such as the Scott Act contains will ever bring the cause to full fruition. Other and better methods must bo found, Ix^foro tho great object of tcuiporance workers can bo acconiplLsheJ. Where Will the Public Come From. Lhtiidiilk Iltrald. Tho Flesherton Advance speaking of Markdalo e.\tends its profoundest and most reverential oonf^ratulations on its recent elevation to tho dignity of a town or town(8hip) and wonders who will bo Lord Mayor/ In this there is no reason to wondei", the only wonder is when they get their mayor, town clerk, councillors civic officers, registrars etc., where tho general public will come from. A Leup-Year Proposal. Tho opportunities and joys which leap year bring to tho fair sex are not un- attended with misery to unprotected mas culiny. Here is a proposal just received- by a Jordan, N. Y. baclielor : Weedspot, Jennywerry 20 â€" Dear Cir : I heor that you want to net a wife. I'm a widow with fore uhildren and si.xty-fore akers cjf land niongaged for .32,200. If you can pay oil' the inorgago I will name tho date. If knot don't answer; rite soon. P. S. I'm thirty ate, how old are you ? Bro. Tuwnsends Opinion. (}rey Reviein. Some temperance journals ascribe the cause of defeat to one thing and some to another. Some say tho vote being taken on tho Dominion Voter's List allowed a predominance of Tory vote.s. But wo think the true cause was that after a trial of six years in Halton the .\ct was found to be unsatisfactory and not reaching the end desired by the Toniporanco men who voted for It. The great trouble with the .\ct is this, that it is a Federal Act, and all license :ind dealings with tho Liquor tniHic, should be under the Local Govorn- iiicnt. <tuulifled to Learn.

Tho blamed fool can raise thunder now, and I guess he can soon lam to jerk lightniu'." Bro. Spnrr'14 Opinion. DmuUilk n.rut'1. The repeal of the i^cott Act in H.ilton County is tho gi-eatest blow the Temper- ance Party have receiveil sinco tho Do- niiin'Mi alliance lUganized and will do nioiet^i .'4hake its power in oilier parts of the IVovince than all the lemHlation and lecturing of tiMiiperaiioo wurkers can remedy. Halton was the pivot .m which success or defeat fu- tho whole Dominion restcil ami now it has turned nothing short of a miraclo will reverse it. A \ew Order of 'Uuhhs. t'hiit.iioirlh S'l ii'n.
