Compensation to Publicans.
(Per Press Association) Sydney, Sept. 5. Postmaster Cook, a strenuous advocate of cold water for internal use without admixture, asked leave of the Assembly to introduce a Bill to make people sober by Act of Parliament. In explaining the projected Bill, it was seeu that the publican would be turned loose on a cold water world without compensation. The Assembly, however, by a majority of 61 to 92, decided that the Bill must coutaiu a compensation clause of some sort. Mr Cook's idea now is to insert a time clause, making the Bill inoperative for, say, a couple of years, thus giving the publicans due notice to quit their evil ways !
