THE PROHIBITION BILL.

i ’

National Promisrrion—for which the

great majority voted in the Plebiscite

—has been shelved by the perfidious Gov~-

ernment which rules at Ottawa; and

Provincial Prohibition, which no one voted for, 1s to befenacted. National Pro- hibition could, without a doubt, be en acted and enforced, under our constitution, by

Parliament and Govern

ithe Dominicn

ment; there remains a grave doubt that Provinaial Prohibition car be so constitutionally enacted and enforced.

From the enactment and enforcement of National Prohibition we might expect

. % good results—leading on, perhaps, to Con-

tinental Prohibition; from Provincial Prohibition, nothing more than the

Canada-Temperance Act bas given and will give! Yet our temperance leaders propose tooverlook the deceit and fraud of the Government which, in flagrant dis- regard of promises and expectations made and held out, has refused to act accord- ing to the result of the plebiscite, aud to accept Provincial Prohibition. Well, it’s their business ; and we can Only regret that their sincerity has been so deeply compromised.

| Concerning the bill now before the Legislature, we have little to say. It | eeems to be the Manitoba Bill applied to | Prince Edward Island and it provides that | the sale of intoxicating liquors shall not be legal here,—except for sacramental, medicinal and mechanical purposes: There is not a word in the bil] about the importation or manufacture of intoxicants; for the importation and manufacture can- not be prohibited by the Province! Whether the Provincial authorities can stop the sale is a doubtful point: and +h law must needs, after ite enactment, run the gauntlet of the courts.

The penalties attached to the infringe- ment of the proposed law are higher than those impesed by the Scott Act. For the first offence there is a;fine of $100 or three months imprisonment; for the eecond offence, a fine of $200 or four months im- prisonment; and for the third offeuce, six months imprisonment. In this respect the bill is, perhaps, an iraprovement upon the Canada Temperance Act. In every other respect it is a distinctly inferior measure.

By far the most notable and significant provision of the bill is the last which ie evidently, of local manufacture, lt reads :

This Act shall come into force ou the fifth day of June, A.D, 1901, but shall not apply or take effect in those portions of this province in which the second part cf“ The Canada Temperance Act” is in force ; provided nevertheless that should the Order in Council by which the second part of “‘ The Canada Temperence Act” is brought ir to force in any'county or counties of this Province be at any time hereafter revoked, then this act ehall im- mediately on such revocation come into force send take eftect in euch eounty or counties to which such revocation shall apply.

That is to say, Premier Farqubarson is to have the use of “ the blood money ”’ for « whole year—and liquor is to be sold ae heretofore for several months after the next session of the legislature ought to be —and probably will be—heid! This isa device worthy of the gentlemen who be- guiled Pineau.

Another poist to be noted is that after all the fuse about Provincial Prohibition the bill is practically applicable, not to the Province,but to Charlottetown alone— whether Charloitetown wills it or rot! Vive la bagatelle! Success to humbug

SCOTT ACT PROSECUTION.

a

AcoorDING toa return asked for by Mr. Birch under the head of Crown Proseca- tione, the sum of $428.74 was paid out last year for Scott Act proseoutions./ An other return asked for by Mr. McKinnon and laid upon the table of the House, con- cerning three Stipendiary Magistrates, shows that not one dollar has been return- ed to the Treasury. These gentlemen receive a salary of $20@each, a total of $600. There are also three Prosecutors who get yearly $200 each, another total of These sume, together with the $428.74 paid ou' as expenses, make a grand total of $1,628.74, And there is not edollarfrom the Stipendiary Magis~ trates.

A NEW PROCEEDING.

On Thureday afternoon, Mr. A. A. McLean submitted a bill to the House to amend the act respecting representation in the Legislature. ‘he amendment pro- vided that no person ‘* not a resident of the Province shall be eligible as a member of the Legislative Assembly.”

It bas always been the practice in our House to permit bills to be received and read a firat time without remark or explanation the part of the mover. But it did not suit our incapable Government to permit a just meaeure like this to be read, and the Premier insisted that ex- planation be made by Mr. McLean. After the explanation the motion io re- ceive and read the bill wae put by the Speaker,—but it was voted down by the Pineau faction.

NOTES AND COMMENTS,

—It has been remarked that Oom Paul should not be hard to catch: He is weighted down with more bags of gold than with either yeare or corrow, and his “‘better half” is already in the hands of the enemy!

—A correspondent of the Loudon Times says that Colonel Sam Hughes is proving himeelf an ideal leader of irregular moun - ed torces.

—Lord Roberts recommends that the Canadian Mounted Rifles be christened anew, and suggests thatthey be called the Royal Cansdian Dragoons. By all means, says the Mail and Empire, and the regiment will slways affectionate- ly regard the field marshal as its god father.

--The St. Joho Sun remarks that the Grit papers are indulging iv vain imagin~ inge about “what Birmingham could tell,” while they are eloquently silent about what Col. Pritchett aod other tools of the machine have told! Why thie reticence?

—At the annual meeting of the Bank of Montreal on Monday last, the general manager, Mr. Clouston, referred to the general prosperity of Canada in these

terme: “ Canada has good reason to be well eatisfied with the results of business

for the last twelve months. From every province of the Dominion, with the excep

tion of Britieh Columbia, come reports of upivereal prosperity, active trade, good crops, and, generally epeaking,eatisfactory pricee. The lumber trade never was in | better condition ; while the dairy exporte

| have only been limited by the extent ; of the cold storage accommodas ‘tion, which is still insufficient for the | growing wants of the trade. Railroad

| earnings were the largest

in the history 'of Canada.” Having thus dealt with the past, Mr. Clouston had a word of pru dent counsel] as tothe future. He said: ‘‘For the coming year there are some indi- cations of over-production, Stocks in the merchant’s hands are too large, and in some districts collections are disappoint» ing. In fact, at the moment there is something of a check, which, bowever, may prove highly salutary, if the coms wercial community willonly proceed witi caution tll the new crop is assured and matters have adjusted themselves on a more Satistactory basis.”
