The Late Wm. Brown.

.?_..—:..__ ..-*._. _ _4______

The death of Wm. Brown, E-q.,

Province. Only a short time ago ho took cold and contract:-d inflammation of the lungs, but was thought to be recovering. A few days ago however he suffered a relapse and gradually Isnlr until yesterday afternoon when- he passed away to the rest that re- msimth for the people of God. Mr. Brown was for many years the h--ad M the late well-known dry goods firm of W. and A. Brown. H» was also tho chio-f owner of the Brown Block in this city, and one of our most enter- prising and respected citizens. A fw- years ago he retired from active bu~i- ness pur-‘nits, and has since devoted much of his time to horticulture, io- which he was recognized to be the best. authority we had. He was no pl'0ml'wnt, active and consistent mem- ber of the M-thodixt church, in which his loss will be greatly felt. We ten- der the bereaved widow and family our sincere sympathy. ¢

A Suggestion.

If Porli-omcnt d-sires to ascertai- the will of the people respecting tho prohibition of the liquor traflic ll Canada, why could not arrn‘ngemo-nn- be made: to do so in connection witl. gh» talsixog of the census‘ this spring? This would certainly be an inexpen- sive pinto, and if faithfully and impair tially conotfuutl-cl, a very fair idea or how the people, both male and frmo-Llo-. View th3s question should he obtained. ‘A pl~l.i-i-it» is pr:-ferablo- in so-n- waos, but this might be a good way t start.

Blake and Ferguson before the ' Clergy.

Yesterday morning Messrs. a a short

ci‘tion m prohibitury legisla- dam} /13:. candidates were of th-

' ' was not dir eetly before the country in this cam-

that was a real advautag-as far asth- _ 'ng of prohibitpry legislation at an early day was concerned.

‘Mr. Ferguson stated that he had al- ways been a total abstain-r and pro- hibitionist, and he engaged, if elected to Parliament, to give his hearty sup port and loyal cooperation to any measure having as its aim the prohibi- tion of the importation, manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors intro- duced or concurred in by the recogniz- ed leaders of the temperance party on both aid.-a, such as Messrs. Jamieson and Fish?!‘ have been. [is further thought. that the representatives of the

ple might safely assume the respon- sibility of dealing with this question without a plebiscite as they do other questions of moment, and so save pro- hibition from being held in abéyancv.

If, however, the plebiscite was consid- P

or-ed by prohibition leaders the "wisest and best course to pursue he would in every reasonable way endeavor to make it a success.

Mr. Blake concurred with Mr. Ferguson dr-cl=ari'-g himself in full sympathy with prohibition legislation, and engaging, if oils-cto-d to use every just and land ohle effort to secure such legislation for this dominion.

The Defence of the Great Lakes

By a treaty with England, signed soon after the war of 1812, the Uni- ted States can maintain only four war vessels on the Great L-\kes—-one each on Lakes Champlain and Ontario and the other two on the upper lake.-s. These may be armed with only. one eighteen ponnder cannon each and mum not exceed one hundred tons bur-do-n.

While-. Britain, it is true, maintains no do-f-nsivo vessels on those watt-rs. yet within a fortnight after a declare. tion of war, she could send upward- of one. hundred. four of them armored. through the Canadian canals, which admit vessels of fifteen hundred tons, to Chicago or Duluth. The United St my-l n-ivy could not reach the scene- of .ci :1, as their only waterway is the ’ Err» Con:-ll which . is limited to crafts of 225 tons and 100 feet long.

Thus the cities of Oswego, Bull‘-olo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, and many others of lesser note, would be at th-- m~rcy of a hostile fleet, no matter how in my land forces could be gathered to defend them,

Though‘ an attempt would doubtless be made to seiza and do-stroy the Can-

aalian canals at. tboa outs;-t, mu milifig _

A False Report In Monday’: issue we stated that “ it is rumored, we know not whether truly or falsely, that a prominent member of the Sons of Temperance was one of the party who carried the liquor, to the Bloomfield meeting.” We areglad to be able to say to-day on the best of authority that the re- port was false. We alluded to it, first, because these reports are apt to spread and grow, sometimes unknoivn to the one Suspvcto-Cl, unless promptly do;-alt with, and second, because the enemies of temperance-. always take advantage of them to ask 'sno-eringly why the Gu.umx.x.~z dc:-.an’t look after its friends as well as after the liquor party. This, when necessary, we are prepared to do. \‘i'c wish to do right by all men and to condemn wrong in every quarter. __.._.___¢_.._.....__ McCarthyites indignant. LONDON, February 13.--It is the gen- eral oopini--n that the balance of advan- tages resulting from the B--ul-ogne nego- riatuom remains with Mr. Parnell. Mr. Mccaithy and lIl3 ctollragueas are publicly satisfied with their positi- on. and assert that they will never attempt to renew the m-gotiutions. Privately, they are indignant at being chcckmated by the tactics of th-. Pznnellites.

These proceeded to appoint a committee to or- vauize the party in lr-.-lsn..l, to combat tho.- arno-llitcs. The latter claim that there is no doubt that they are rapidly gaining stremgth in Irelnn-J, which will result in the return of the bulk of the nntoomlists to allegiance t o Mr. Parnell. The lib rals and the McCarthy- ics declare that Mr Parnell will be beaten at the polls. The News says: “With -=r. Parnell himself neither Mr. Glau- stone not Mr. McCarthy has the smallest c-oucein. Since the famous deposition 0' thocornmitteu r~-om, It has been their duty tcoexhriust the chances of a com- promise with Mr. Parnell‘: followers. not w th Plto-ell.

True Reports

A Patriot newsboy was overheard whistling “ Yankee-Doodle" up the street to-(lay. A prominent. Grit was observed to stop and buy no less than two papers from him. It is believed that other Grits are implicated. The loyalty of the pen le has been stirred to the highest pitc by this disclosure.

The weekly Mercenary Times, «of La- brador, which for fifteen years has been true. to its name and principle, has come out str»-ugly in oppa ition to Sir John's p -licy. Coonst--rnation has been caused in ministerial circles at Ottawa by this defection. --

Mr. Wood B Grit, ‘-1. P.. has come out as an iudcp---nd nt supporter --f SIX‘ J-olm. It is understood lllnt he had bean disgusted with his party for some time. The announcement has fal;en like go bomb shell in the Grit camp.

The weekly Thunderer, of D ntnu- wherc, Mexico, declares that Sir John must go. This has come like a thuud~-r- clap on the C--nservative parry, prov’, , conclusively that the U. S. is in favor o unrestricted reciprocity. ‘ -

The Indians on the R ocky Pooiut reser- vation are becoming alarmoo! at the pros- pect of a Fenian Invasion in the event of Sir Jo-hn’s def at. Sir John is one -of the oldest “ Big Chiefs” in Canada and the Indians will rally around him in fine style. _

Mr. Want M--re Bo-dle has becomi- thoroughly llllgllfltod with tho.» Cons-r-‘ vative party and at a crowded meeting last night announced his deto-rminati ,n to leave tho party. In consequence deft-at stares the Government in the face. ,

Desert-ions from the Tory party con- tinue. Tom prominent smelt fishirs dr- clare tbs’ the attitude of Sir J -hn‘s Gov- ernmeut ha: driven the fish away, and that important industry is being ruined. They uuho-sitat‘mgly declare l0r'-unre- atricted reciprocity.

Lying Reports,-

.2»-—:

Sts:--Under thoabove heading you made a swoo-ping statement, which in- cludes the reports in the Patriot, for which as regards that paper you have no foundatiou. You say: “ Who not b:ind- N by party pr.-judice can rea-l the re- ports of a polit-icslmeering first in one porty organ and then in the -other, and not throw aside both papers in disgust, seeing that they are no index what.-ver of the progress of the strife." You, y- ur- a -lf, were on the Patriot stud’ during tho- General Elo ction of l_887, and know what care was exercisedytu get correct ruports. You know, and the public know, that except in the case of one telephonic re- port from Surnme side in which the management (you included) were de- ceived, the Patri-ot reports were singular- ly cnrrrct and free from exaggeration. The reports then were about you call “roseate"f--r the Liberals. The result roved their correctness. You know- also that the rule was then laid down‘ by -or. Laird before his departure for the Northwest, and by myself after his de- parture, a d strictly adhered to, too pub- lish nu re rts but - hat we believed to be absolute y true. The re-as n for that course, independently of the morality oi the question, is the simple one of political self interest. Electors pr:-seiit at a meet- ing know as much and more, than the editor of the paper, about the political complexion of that meeting. If they see an exaggerated report about their «it'll meeting they know it to be untrue, and the judge the reports of meetings about which they personally know noth- ing, by the inaccuracy of the report about. rheir -own. I will give y--n an instance. At last elect ion at Mount Stewart, after the general moo-ting by the candidates, a meeting was called by the T--ries at which Liberal speakers were refused the r' in to sp-.-ak. Our friunds then cull a counter meeting in the 1 ower part of the samoo building for the same. night. Tue Tory meeting was addro-sued by Messrs, Hndgson, Stewart and -othe-rs, the Liberal ‘by Messrs. H. C MeD nald, L. W. Harris and myself. besides several local men. We kn»-w a b ogus rfiphft wuulol ap p ar in the En miner, so in the middle o: the meetings we had both quietly counted. The Tury mo» ting had just 28 elect--rs besides boys and non-electors Our me--ting contained electors. Yet tho- Examnner next day had a grand re rt f‘rO0l\‘-d by tell-ph one, of the rat ligh- cral-Co scrvative meeting, an fizzle of the mceti.-g tried to he ot up by th.; Grits. The people of I-ount _Stew.art read the r-«port ‘there was word sent to the Patriot) and st all faith in the Tory re rte which had previously appeared. rusting that you ill correct your ut- torly.unf..unded statement with regard to the Patriot.
