we have been in a worse position as to temperance than they were in British Col- i
with all
| . ° i umbia, where the license system,
“OLR
‘its evils, has prevailed /
Mr, Carruthers has not let us into secret of the source of the figures which he has su bmitted, that in the days of license in this Province—when our population was a little over 95,000—more liquor was consumed here then than in recent years under the Scott Act. We shall not however, say, after his manner, that these figures ‘‘ may be true or they may be untrue.” We accept them only and simply because they are presented by the tev. James Carruthers, the respected pas- = tor of St, James’ Church. But, we urge, is the influence of moral suasion, in all these years, to be counted for nothing ? Has the pulpit done nothing in all these years, the press nothing, to promote the onward march of temperance principles ? If not, Mr. Carruthers, the Guardian and THe Examiner have, as (far as temperance is concerned, lived in vain. Have the public schools done nothing to promote sobriety / Have all our divisions, and lodges, and bands of hupe, and blue and white ribbon societies and Epworth Leagues and Leagues of the Cross existed for nothing ? We maintain that religious teach- ing and moral suasion have,in recent years, improved the public taste in this Pro- vince. We contend that there is a higher moral sentiment in respect to drunkenness (though a lower one in respect to perjury) than there was when our population was bat 95,000 ;—and, if so, the comparison in- stituted by Mr. Carruthers is worthless, and his conclusion wrong.

ee A Srrance Case.—A_ Lexington, Ky., despatch says: Mrs. Brent, the wife of Judge J. Harry Brent, a prominent society leader of Paris, Ky., and wife of a noted ex-Confederate met with a peculiar accident about twelve o’olock yesterday, which will probably cause her death. White she was sitting ta'king to her children the muscles of her right leg con- tracted to such an extent that the bone snapped just below tie hip joint. One of the children rushed to a doctor across the street and the physician had no sooner entered the womans’ room than the muscles of her left leg contracted in a similar way and that limb also broke. She was put under the influence of anesthetics, but her life is despaired of. Leading physicians here say this is one of the most remarkable cases on record,
3y this test it appears that Prince Ed- ward Island, under the Scott Act, has been in a worse position as to temperance than British Columbia which has been wholly under license, and ia a very much worse position than Quebec or Nova Scotia,—but in a rather better position than Ontario and New Brunswick. But it may be contended that these figures do not apply to Charlottetown,— that the comparison should be between towns and towns. We have, so far, been unable to obtain reports from quiet agricul- tural towns with which Charlottetown ma; well be compared. The unfairness of making a comparison with large seaport, and garrison, and manufacturing towns, such as Montreal or Toronto or Halifax, with a floating population of low character, is at once apparent. But we have at hand only a report from the city of Halifax, the resort of large numbers of svldiers and sailors. Let us see, by the test proposed by the Rev. James Carruthers, what grounds the Patriot has for its statement
The absenee of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh from the reyal wed- ding at Berlin is generally attributed in court and diplomatic circles abroad to their dread of the Emperor William’s vaporing aud truculent speeches. Considering the near relationship which exists between the Emperor of Russia and the Prince of Wales it would have been in the highest degree distasteful and embarrassing to those per- sonages to hear their flighty nephew pub- licly ranting about the delight with which he would heil a combined assault by Ger- , many and England upon the common fog.

*A Roman Catholic” Replies:
Srr,— I amin a quandary. I do not know whether the writer of the letter signed ‘* James Morrison,” on ‘*The Catholic Clergy and Temperance,” in your issue of the 2nd inst., and which caught my eye only this morning, is the Rev. —--— Mor- rison, Ph. D., D. D., whose Christian name I do not know. Although assuredby a friend that Dr. Morrison is the author, to my mind the letter contains internal evidence that it cannot have proceeded from a gentleman bearing these titles. It is too inconsequent to have been written by a philosopher, andto irate in tone to have emanated from one _ dignified by the cap of aD. D., “1 have not the privilege of an acquaintance with Dr. Morrison, but from what I have heard of the brilliancy of that young gentleman, I am satistied that he could have had nothing to do with the letter, and, accordingly I dis- miss it from further consideration. Before closing, | may say, as ** James Morrison” has called it in question, that | am a mem- ber of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, in communion with and acknow- ledging the supremacy and Infallibity of the Incumbent of the See of Rome. I wor- ship in a well-known church where I can be seen by those who desire, and I could give instruction, did I think the occasion required it, upon the subject of temperance societies in P. E. 1,, and the relations of the clergy and laity thereto. Further, I will not reveal my identity; nevertheless, I shall read with interest—probably with amusement—any communications which may appear dealing with the ** many flagrant contradictions both in principles and facts,” with which lL am charged, be such letters signed by ‘* James Morrison,” John Brown, Peter Snooks or any other of the nobile vulgus. But 1 promise them no pub- lic attention.

Winter strawberries have just arrived in Chicago and sell for the small sum of $1.50 a quart.
Electioneer, the famous trotting stallion, died at Palo Alto farm, a few days ago.
The number of foot passengers who crossed the Brooklyn bridge last year was 3,223,173, and the number carried across by the railways 37,676,411. The amount paid for tolls was: Promenade, $18,614,- 68; carriage-ways, $76,476,59; railways, $1,042,014, 23.
The Great Canadian Frog looms up in the distance as a rival of the Great Cana- dian Hen. The Campbeliford, Ont., Herald tells of a man who in three weeks caught frogs enoughtomake2,023 pounds of hind legs, which he sold for $500. Just think of it, $500 in three weeks ! That is at the rate of $l an hour for the whole time.
In the frontier counties of Nebraska hun- dreds of families are suffering for food, fuel and clothes on account of the drought. They must have relief or perish during the winter. This relief the citizens of Nebraska propose themselves to afford. The State Journal announces that other states need not help, as Nebraska will take care of her own.
The despatches report another death traceable to the Christian Scientist hum- bug. Isaac Hamilton, aged about 57 years, a wealthy farmer in the State of Missouri, died the other day of typhoid fever. His wife and daughter believe in the doctrine of Christian Science, and for three weeks before his death the patient had no medicine or medical treatment. During all this time he was attended by Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Hudson, Christian Scientists living in the neighborhood, although he himself had no faith in it. The coroner’s jury found that he came to his death by or through criminal neglect of those who had him in charge. -WOes
There is a marked tendency toward huge consolidations of business and manufac- turing enterprtzes, of which recent railroad stock purchases in the United Stated are only a small indication. Within a month thirty mower and reaper establishments across the border have been consolidated on a basis of $35,000,000 capital, and upward of twenty threshing machine factories on a basis of $20,000,000. Now there is a pro- position to unite all the lead and silver smelting concerns, for which not less than $55,000,000 capitalization would be re- quired, If the craze for consolidation con- tinues there will presently be nothing left to consolidate.
