THE MELTING AT CLIFTON.

‘Tue dual meeting held at Clifton, on Thursday, was well attended by the farm- ers and business men of the surrounding districts. Among the public men present were. Peter Sinclair, M. P.. the Commis- sioner of Public Works, Hon. A. B. Mc Kenzie, Wm. Uampbell, E-q., A. mm G Holland, Esq., Mr. Holmes and Dr. A.c- Neill. The proceedings of the meeting were very orderly and highly creditable to the intelligent electors of New London, There were some good speeches in favor of prohibition. The political speeches were —‘ stale, flit and unprofitable,’ except in so far as they showed that leading sup porters of the Government are highly dis~ satisfied with the acts of the Government.

THE PROUIBITION MEETING.

[his meeting was organized about half- past two o'clock by the nomination of John MeLeod, Esq., to the chair, and the ap- pointment of Mr. Smart to act as Secretary The Chairman briefly corrected the pre- vailing notion that the meeting was called for the purpose of discussing general polis tes. Tle wished it to be understood that the speakers were expected to talk “ Prohibition” or ‘* anti-Prohibition,”” and

nothing else. Georce Mater, E-q., made a short but

A. B. McKenziz, M. L. C,, said every great reform iat ever was carried had a beginning. He hoped to see the reform now begun, successfully carried out,

Hox. W. D. Srewarr made a short speech, which he concluded by saying that he was ‘‘delighted with the state of the

‘roads,’’ This remark elicited laughter. A. E.C. Hontrnpo, Esq, reminded the

meeting thit a majority of the people of every school district now had Prohibition in their own hands.

Mr. Geo. Maver said that was true, and he was proud to day that many of the New London districts had used the power suc- cessfully. He would (for the purpose of )making the power of the people greater in this respect) advecate the union of three school districts in one. Kensington and other villages might thus be relieved of the incubus. It was not fair that Sum- ‘merside and Charlottetown should have | the power of demoralizing country districts.

The recent experiences of the Premier in Ontario are not, we imagine, very re- sssuring to the Government party. On- tario has given the cold shoulder to the rulers of to-day. Popular sympathy i ail with the old leader—Sir John Mac- donald. In Quebec the Grits would not, in the event of a straggie, have the ghost of a chance of victory; and down here iv the Maritime Provinces—where the Gov- ernment’s every act, from the attempt to erush out our shipbuiiding interests by the imposition of a tax On shipbuildio. materials to the levy of a tax upon the wea the people driuk—has been lnimica: to our interests, it isnot likely that then In this view, the probabilities seem to be he against an election during the present year.

If they yield to the popular voice, and endeavor to secure a iecal Parliament, the act itself may work in their favor. If they lose, they lose only one year ; and if they gain, they gain five. At any rate, they are preparing. Whether the struggie will come this yea or Gext year, they themselves, probably, ad» not know.

Resatved, therejpore, mM the opinion of this

meeting, that the subject of Prohibition be nade a test question at the next Dominios lection, and that we support no candidate for said election untess he is thorough; sound, both in principle and ia practice, on his all-important reeasure.

Mr. Jonw Crarxe seconded the Resolu- tion. He said the Temperance question is

now the most important question of the day; and he argued that as a man’s charac ter can only be known by his practice, therefore prohibitionists should only sup- port elections such men as are total ab-

! stainers,

Perer Stxcuain, M. P., was at first in doubt as to the subject to be discussed: ind he was high!y pleased to hear that the peeches were t9 be confined to the sub- ject of Temperance ; for it ts, undoubtedly, of great importance. Nor were the leading pnotic men of the Dominion opposed to it

On the contrary, the able-t men, both in Church and State, are thorough temperance men. Governor ‘Tilley is a total sbstainer. Sois Dr. Tapper. And on the other site o’ polities there is the Hon. Edward Biake ind the Hon. Alexander McKenzie—the iatier of whom, however, allows wine at his tible. A great Temperance l'ght has re. cently arisen in Eagland—Mr. Noble—who is now On his way to this site of the Atlan- tie, to conyinee people, as he hes convinced vnousands at home, thst the traffic in in

toxieating liquors must be put down or the traffic in intoxicating liquors will put the people down, The man who believes a hing to be wrong, must refrain from it; the man who thinks drinking sand evil should be strictly temperate. The man who will take “his glass’’ is nota temperate min. There is some difference of opinion umong judges as to whether the Provincial or the Dominion Government has jurisdic~ tion in the matter o! prohibiting the traffle in liquor. It is a complicated affair. In his (Mr. Sinclair's) opinion jurisdiction lies with the Dominion; and the question really is, whether the Dominion may or may not interfere in such a way as will deprive the Provincial Government of a source of 1 eve- tue. He (Mr. 8S.) was in favor of the re

solution, and was prepared to support it

in this he would find not the slighest diffi

culty; for he is constitutionally a total abs stainer. But he thought the dey not far distant when the majority of men would be total abstainers from principle. He be- iieved there would soon be a great revolu- tion in society upon this Temperance ques tion--a time when men will act up to their beliefs. By carrying out Prohibition, it nust be remembered that about one-fourth

THE POLITICAL MEETING.

Jouxn NMeLeov, Esq., was re-appointed ' Chairman,

Mr. Campseii mounted the rostrum. He sharply criticised the wire~puliing pro ‘ess by which the Government was formed, the Schoo! Board, the Assessment Act, the Road Ae’, the Public Works Act—and other Acts. Mr. Stewart replied; and Mr. Campbell up and at him again, The sym- pathies of the meeting appeared to be two to one in favor of Mr. Campbell. Both speakers were inspired, for the nonce, with a spirit os prophecy; and both indulged in the self-giorniic:ton congenial to large minds. Some of their remarks were very good. Fur instance, Mr. Stewart pesitively declared that he had dotied every i and crossed every t in the Public Works Act; and Mr, Cumpbell, after the manner of Disraeli, predicted that the day would one day come when he would be beard and re-~ ported with attention and care. We regret that we have not space for a fuller report of the meeting.
