can they have one in the present state of |

the voters’ lists? These have not been

revised since 1891, and they are complied |

on the basis of the old electoral divisions, while a general election would have to be held under the uew or Gerrymander Act, which created new divisions, abolished ex- isting ones, and altered many others: How could an election be held on the Island for five members, on the lines of the new districts, under the present lists? It might be done,*but I think there would be a great deal of difficuly.

It used to amuse me to see the ladies tripping along with their purses between their fingers—fancy’ @ man doing that. But now they have another occupation for their hands—carrying dog whips. It does not matter if the lady has not got a dog, she carries the dog whip all the same, be- cause it is fashionable. I think I said something about baby-carriages in a letter a year or two ago. They have got to be such @ nuisance that the constable in charge of one of the markets, recenily gave notice that they would not be al- lowed on the piatform, but must take the street, as they obstructed the traffic. You must understand that the ladies are not so fond of taking their babies to market, but the carriages come in handy for carryin cabbages, chickens, tomatoes, onions an other vegetables, with which I have fre- quently seen them loaded. Indeed, I have been expected te turn off a street- crossing into the mud, to allow a peram-

a high license as against a low li¢ense act and through the efforts of the prohibitionists high license was defeated.

Rev. Mr. Borth, of the German Lu- theran church, said :—The state cannot make men Christians by enforced ¢cbedi- ence to laws in matters where conscience only should govern. I am, there- fcre, opposed to the total prohibition of the liquor traffic in any province, because in the places with which I am familiar, where such laws have been passed there is a universal tendency towards increased drunkenness. But I am in favor of high licenge, as by that means it is easy to re- strict the traffic to large establishments in great centres. Or the state might with advantage control the whole business, as is the case in Norway and Sweeden.

intoxicating drinks is vested in the govern- ment, and the profit derived from it mater- ialiy lessens the cost of the. general tax- ation, while there in absolutely no restric- tion upomits use and no compulsion to make meu.

Maniy prominent clergymen of Toronto sre opposed to Prohibition, for instance —Rev. D. J: Macdonnell; Rev. Prof. Clark, of ‘Trinity College: Rev. Arthur Baldwin, brother of the Bishop of Huron, &c. Dalton McCarthy is another oppone: t Prof. Goldwin Smith writes a letter to the Globe in the same strain. He says that if

| Canada were sinking. into an abyss of

drunkenness there might be some excuse for extreme measures, but the reverse is the case. Where prohibition has been tried, asin Maine, drinking has gone on in secret. “The clergy,” he adds, “in de- nouncing all use of fermented liquors as criminal, labor under the awkward necess-

| of unbroken church ‘tfadition, that the

wine of the New Testament is syrup, can, by no impartial scholar, be treated with the slightest respect.”

[ observe that the Ottawa liar has been sending out word that the Government are going to build a private chapel for Lord Aberdeen, on Rideau Hall grounds. Of course there is not a word of truth in in, any more than in the report, some week-

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Concerning Sir John Abbott the Can: ada Gazette says: “ He was one of Cana- da’s great sone”.

— A gentleman just. returned from San Fransisco says that there are 13,000 empty houses in that city. Think of that.

—Asaresult of the interview of the Canadian Minister of Trade and Commerce with the Australian.Premiers a conference is likely to be held in Canada for the pur- pose of advanciug trade and cable com- munication between the two countries.

—The Lendon Standard’s Sebastopo) correspondent says: “ When the choice of a commander for the fleet.to visit. Toulon was to be made, the Czar rejected the admirals speaking French fiuently in favor of Avelon, ‘ because,” he said, ‘if I send an admiral who speaks rench 4itodknows what he might say, and I must prevent any indiscretion.’ ” : ;

—An American engineer,.propose3 that an electric railway be constructed between New York and Chicago, and that the trains be operated at the rate of 100 miles an hour, by means of electricity generated by the Niagara-river. The proposed rail- way will obtain its power at Buffalo” The idea is to bridge the river ani to utilize the movement of the water to operate the great steel wheels.

—Advices received at the United States United

arrangements with

| Canada for inspecting immigrants at Que- , | bee is working most satisfactorily. Every circles of society have taken alarm, and | Dominion |

convenience has been extended to the United States officials. The class of im- migrants is said to be improving. Four- teen immigrant vessels wre expected to ar- rive at Quebec before the close of naviga- tion. ‘

—The murdered Mayor Harrison claim- ed to be a lineal deecendant.of Richard A.

Some of the Island. papers talk of an | Harrison, Cromwell’s lieutenant-general,

who led Charles I. to the block, and Car- ter Z. Harrison his great grandfather and

| his brother, Benjamin Harrison, the sign-

er of the declaration of independence, and father of President William Henry Harri- son, are enrolled in the annals of the in- fancy of the Unitéed-States of America. —News has beep received from New Zealand that an electoral act has been passed by the legislature of the colony giving the franchise to all women over 24 years old. - It is believed that the women’s voting power wil] strengthen the Conser- vative party, who oppose the revolutionary projects in regard to land holding. The temperance party also hope to get aid from the women. It is expected that a large proportion of the women will appear at the polls. If the experiment is successful it will probably be adopted by other colo- nies. Of the 668,650 population in New Zealand, nearly one-half are women.

—Miss McGarry, well known in this. city, has taken high rank in another coun- try, whither she will return froin Mon- treal. While in Edinburgh Miss McGarry met Hall Caine, the celebrated novelist. She also had the pleasure of dining with William Black, the well-known author: Olive Schreiner, authoress of “ Dreams,” was present at one of the receptions of the

Pioneer Club. Miss McGarry states that she always calls herself a “Canadian,” and not an Americen,

When in Paris Miss McGarry met several members of the Delsarte family. One of them, # daughter of Francois Delsarte, said that the Americans had made their system known to all the world, but had in- troduced so many new features that they, the projectors of the method, hardly rec- ognized their own creation. If elocution is neglected in England, the United States run tothe other extreme and make too much of it.. The results are an artificial intonation and a set form of expression,

-

—The St. Louis Republic says: “We want and must have a Canadian reciprocity treaty, There is material wealth in Can- ada which Cantal ybe~ brought into this country by emipratfon” It can be ob tained by trade. The stupid regulations of the McKirley law serve as an embargo

ainst commerce between the countries. Whether that law is repealed or modified, we should have a reciprocity treaty with Canada.” So that the reciprocity be fair and honorable, all Canada will welcome it

—RKeferring to the murderer of Carter Harrison, the Rev. O. P. Gifford, of Immanuel Baptist Church, Chicago, said : “Prendergast is the fine fruitage of the awlessness that marks the close of this century. Nihilists in Russia, communists in France, anarchists in Germany and iynamiters in England, and a web woven fall these in America. Crime ;increases faster than population in Ameriga, though the old world floods the new with streams of immigratcon. On the Pacifié coast the Chinese mobbed and murdered. In the South negroes are lyuched ang burned.”
