Cross nurses actually were men were awaiting in pain the acteu- tion which the physicians could not give owing to the number of cases in hand, and when they offered to assist the surgeons their offer was refused because the officer commanding said he could not go contrary tothe directions of hie superior. It was then that the nurses set up their own tent, and cared for the men who found their way to it. It is also shows that there was inadequate shelter for the wounded, and no proper food. Bacon, beans and hardtack was all the commissariat bad for men in the weakest physical condition. But this was not confined to Santiago, for one cor- reepondent, writing from @ camp on the Atlantic coast, says that although hun~ drede of men were suffering from dysen- tery there was nothing for them to et but the articles named. It is hoped that ia the interest of humanity the fulless investigation will be held and the respore sibility placed upon the proper shoulders,

NCTES AND COMMENTS.

—The estimated lose in revenue to Canada by the adoption of the imperial penny rate is $50,000. The reduction in the domestic rate would involve a deficit of $550,000 per annum.

-- According to av Ottawa despatch the expenditure on consolidated fund account for August, 1898, was $1,541,311, as against $1,185,074 for August, 1897, The figures were erroneonsly stated in some of the grit papers to be $2,541,311, for last monthand $1,541,311 for tha corresponding month of last year.

—As the Montreal Gazette points out having raised by taxation last year nearly two million doliare more than the Conser- vative government did in 1895-96, the Laurier ministry bas what it calls a sur. plus ofa million and ahalf. The e2zono- my of the process cannot be, suid to just stick out for public observation. Adding to the taxes does not make a people rich.

He has been in the Burmab, Crimea, Indian Mutiny, China, Red River, Ashantee, Zulu, Egypt (1882), The Nile, and Suakim (1884-5) campaigns, and none of them were Cuban outings.

THE PLEBISCITE. Kixcsrox, Sept 19.—The following is the letter which Principla Grant sent to Toronto in response to a request, to address a public meeung oa the prohibition question : “Dear Sir,—Your invitation to speak at

a public meeting in Toronto regarding the

plebiscite lL must respectfally decline be aubj-ct should indeed be discussed by men ideotifid neither with the liquor traffic nor with probibitlon eentimeat, which, however, sincere, 18 unsupported by reason and experience but my views have been submitted tothe public when thev could be consid-red calmly, and otuer voices should now be heard.

“The question at issue is simple. A number of clergymen teach that it is a #in to legalize thal =, wo restrict or to regulate

or by the or any

in any war, whether by license dispeneary, » sale of distilled, ferment~

Gothenbu’g, or tbe

other system, t!

ed and malt liquors. Of course, if it is immoral to” Pell, i must be immoral to buy. Not cons

their views op the members of the Church to which they be- long, they wish to impose them on the state; aud to affect this they are form'oga eolid denominational vote. Other clergy: men, backed by the great majority of thoughtful laymen, resist this attempt at communbity. They respect their well meaning brethern, and they themselves —far from considering the license avsiem best are suggesting other methods of regulating the trattiz, but their main dependence is oo the gospel, and on

the moral economic and industrial forces of society, all of which are operaung steadily on the side of temperance

and making intemperance a decaying vice and Canada a remarkably sober community.

“This simple question, now befere the people should not be burdened with per- sonalities and misleading statements. For expressing my Opivion as @ Citizen I have been siandered in the press and from the palpits, and have aleo been the recipient of scores of anonymous letters, filled with vile insinuations abuse aod threats,

That style of controversy ought to be out of date. It helps no cause. Still less can good results from hints and etatements

to the effect that Galt, Tilley and Gladstone |

were in favor of national prohibition, Tilley strongly favored Jocal option laws like the Scott Act, fur these insist oa local majorities, aod thus hold out a prospect of tneir being enforced; whereas national pros hibition must confessedly be helpless in the bundreds of cities and towns where the local majority is the other way. For toe same reason the famous evangelis, D L Moody is utterly opposed to nauynal pro- hibition. Everyone acknowledges his enorzous common sease. Gladstone, however, was not even a total abstainer, aud he provounced local option an ‘absurd delusion.” He actually regarded the preferenve for mild claret over strong port as @ sign of degenerate modern taste. No oae was mad enough to suggest to bim prohibition as a possible policy with which to exinguish the evils of intemperance. As long as he wae leader of his party he refused to make local option a plank in its platform. In a word, no atatesman of the first rank in all the wide world is in favor of prohibition.

“Good people siy, why not try this ex- periment, as its advocates prom'se that it will be acure ali? The daughters in a Greek story cut up their old father and b iled him in a caldron becanse of the pro- mise ofa witch that he would thus bs cured of age and disease. They repented w.eo too late. Try the experimeat. At whose expense ? At the expense of ihe body politic. It is immoral .to ask us to do this. Modern society is far too com~ plicated, interdependent and delicate an organism for such experimenting. Ia seeking by this means to cast out ene devil, seven worse devils are certain to be

brought in. “G. M. Grant.”
