have suggested the following thoughts: Is ‘drunkenness a vice or a disease’ Can the idrunkard control his appetite? If he can, vand will not, he is vicious, and should be dealt with accordingly. If he canaet re- strain himself, he is practically a lunatic, a danger to society, and should be treated as such. An immense amount of nonsense is often talken on temperance platforms. The drunkard is frequently held up to public sympathy as a poor, beguiled creature, longing for reformation; and society is re- presented as arrayed against him, tempting him to drink, overcoming his scruples, and ridiculing his efforts to lead a sober and religious life. But the facts are often the reverse of this. Many habitual drunkards are notoriously persons of low moral type, with no good resolutions or pure purposes. They crave for drink, )and will have it. Shame isa feeling they \are almost strangers to, and it is sheer non- sense to sympathize with them, and talk of them as suffering angels. Those who have closely watched the career of drunkards can only regard many of them as people of de- praved tastes, indifferent to the feelings of others, untruthful and craving for present self-indulgence, at any cost. Whatever his education or his original position in life, the drunkard is a miserable object, his own deadliest enemy, a menace to society, and so long as his inebriety is regarded only as a failing, small recompense will there be for any effort that may be made to reform him. ‘** You know my failing,” said one the other day, who for years had been a torment anda disgrace tothe family. Failing, forsooth, a low, degrading vice, indulged in in spite of good influences and excellent surround- ings. Do such people feel their position ? do they make any effort for self-control ? do they try to resist temptation? Rarely. But if they knew that every act of self- indulgence would be followed in due course by a sound flogging, or some other public recognition of their crime, their outbreaks would be comparatively few. Bring good influences to bear upon them by all means, apply the ‘‘supernatural aids’ of the church, talk to them, reason with them, pray with them, help them to make (and, if possible, to keep) good resolutions; but let not the shame or pain of punishment be omitted crime. What ! you say, punish a man for getting drunk? Apart from the injury the man does to himself by his misconduct, are the interests of his friends and fellow-citizens to be left out of the consideration? Are the wife and children to be smitten by the ruf- fianly hands of the drunken husband and father, and the mother to be blas- phemed and struck down by the son infuriated by drink, a sight not so rare in this fair city of Charlottetown. And what is the genie sometimes meted out tothese? If

rought under arrest, the Stipendiary Magis- trate sends them to jail fora term, during which time the impoverished family is sup- ported by their neighbors, or left to starve, while the prisoner, recovered from his last ‘drinking bout,” goes forth recruited and in- vigorated to repeat his deeds of chivalry. If we fully understand the heniousness of drunk- enness, its penalties in this world and the next, its loathesome character and its dangers to society, we should adopt the most effectual measures for its restraint, and while agitating for entire prohibition, and working the Scott Act to its utmost capabilities, we shall find that compulsory treatment of the drunkard will be most reformatory in its application. The cat for those who persistently and viciously indulge; and for those with whom indulgences has become a disease, the asylum, This is the aspect which this great question is assuming in the old country. Recently an important gathering of representative medical men, scien- tists and clergymen of eminence, was held to consider the requirements of this unhappy class of men for whom they proposed to legis- late, and after a brilliant and practical address by the Physician in Ordinary to the Queen, on motion of the President of the British Medical Association, a strong resolution was passed in favor of future legislation in the direction of compulsory provision for the treatment of hab- itual inebriates, in the interest of the individual and the community at large. This, it appears to me, is the proper direction in which to look, until the millenium of entire prohibition shall have dawned.

A REFORMER. eee — 6 HO Sir,—In your issue of Satu rday, I read a communication over the signature of ** A Romaa Catholic,” dealing with the tem- perance question. 1am very poor at con- troversy, and being altogether disqualified

by Education from handling sub- jects requiring much dialectical skill, you will kindly have the good

ness of heart to bear with me whilst 1 endeavor, in my own poor way to show the weakness of ‘tA Roman Catholic’s” argu- ment and his mis-conception of the re- marks made by Father Strubbe. What I have to say, I shall say in the best of spirit, nothing rash and saying all things soberly. I freely admit that the Catholic Church everywhere preaches temperance. This is a part of her divine mission. She preaches temperance no matter what the environ- ment is, and if ‘‘A Roman Catholic” wishes his readers to believe that she tightens or loosens the temperance cord according to her environment he destroys the unity of the doctrines of that church of which he is a learned and devoted adherent. This part of his letter is somewhat arabiguous. He says it will not do to quote the marriage of Cana of Gallilee in justification of the use of intoxicating liquors. No, the justification ‘of the use of intoxicating liquors, is from a | higher source than-the wedding feast of | Cana of Gallilee. It is from the nature of ,man and the use of God’s gifts. Christ, at this wedding, at the request of his mother Mary, changed the water into wine for the

‘enjoyment of the guests, and thereby igave his approval to the use ‘of intoxicating liquors. The justification of ‘their use is of more remote antiquity than the wedding feast of Cana of Galilee. Will ** A Roman Catholic ” deny that Christ ap-

VOL. 26. NO. 1:6

proved of their use at this feast? The wine there used was intoxicating, because the guests were, in the words of Scripture, ‘‘welldrank” before the good wine was introduced. Christ never condemned the use of intoxicating liquor, and at His last supper bread and wine were used. Is not wine containing the intoxicating element, to-day used on ten thousand Catholic altars in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, a clean oblation offered to God for the souls of men? temove this intoxicating element and the essence of our religion passes away, and the sublimest devotion in which a Catholic can participate becomes a curse instead of a blessing,—an act of idolatry instead of a solemn Christian Catholic worship. ‘ A Roman Catholic” says Father Strubbe evidently misapprehended the state of affairs amongst us. I heard the rev. gen- tieman, and he evidently did not misappre- hend the state of affairs amongst us. He understood the working of the Scott Act in Charlottetown and other places, and as a priest he felt it his duty to denounce it. The Scott Act never did sober a drunkard, and I deny that it ever can. The only way that a drunkard can be sobered is to pro- hibit the manufacture and the importation of liquor. The Scott Act will never do either. It merely prohibitsits sale. Aad if it prohibited its sale, except for medicinal purposes, there might be some reason in the argument of ‘*‘A Roman Catholic” for cefending and maintaining it. Does it do this! Ask any resident of Charlottetown, and he will tell you that anyone who wishes can buy liquor in quantities limited only by the length of his purse. The richer the man, the more easily can he ob- tain it. He .can “Qobtain it all around him in the city, and that without going toa physician and saying that he is sick. If he isdissatisfied with what he gets at home, he can get it from Halifax, and have his drunken brawls at midnight in his bedroom, and desecrate the sabbath by sleeping off the domestic drunk of the pre- vious Saturday night. I am afraid my friend does not understand Father Strubbe, This great Catholic priest contrasted the Scott Act with a high wees law, and con- demned in the strongest and most vigorous manner the immoderate use of intoxicating liquor. This he had a righttodo. And in his opinion a high license law was pre- ferable to the Scott Act. Neither Father Strubbe nor any other intelligent man will ever defend the abuse of liquor. Its mod- erate use, and its sale under the provisions of a properly-restricted license law, the Catholic Church never will nor never can condemn. In proofofthis, [ boldlyassertthat she will never refuse the sacraments to those who use liquor in moderation or sell it honest- ly. I conid fill the twenty-four columns of the EXAMINER with the opinions of such men as Cardinal Manning, Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ryan, in favor of license laws. Catholics have neither a monopoly in the making or a monopoly in the drinking of in- toxicating liquors, as more than insinuated by ‘“*A Roman Catholic,” In charity, I am not disposed to be indignant at this unjustifiable statement. But in my observations of the habits of men here and in other countries, Catholics are as sober as the rest of the species. And any person who has any knowledge of the liquor trade of the Dominion, must know that all the distillers, all the brewers, with one or two exceptions, all the great wholesale houses and the great bulk of the saloon keepers and the owners of the hotel bars are Protestants. Some of these can count their wealth by the million. In the name of the enlightenment of the nineteenth century let us not drag religion into our discussions of the liquor traffic. In the drinking of liquor and the sale of it Catho- lics are neither better nor worse than other people. Iam at all times willing to join with my Protestant fellow-countrymen in the exter- mination of evil of every kind, and the closer Catholics and Protestants come together for the advancement of any good cause the better for themselves and the better for the progress of Christian civilization.

Obituary.

At Canso Point, on September 25th, at the ripe age of niety-four years, Mrs. Mary McKinnon, relict of Malcolm McKinnon. Mrs. McKinnon was widely and deservedly known for her genuine christian character, kindness and hospitality. She was born in Mull, Argyleshire, Scotland, and had an al- most inexhaustible fund of Highland stories and legends. Before the days of steamers and railroads, her house was frequented by travellers from all parts of the Island, and they invariably found a hearty welcome. She was one of the earliest converts of the late Rev. Donald McDonald’s ministry. She will be long remembered by her chil- dren, grand children and a large circle of relatives and friends.
