THE REASONABLE COURSE.

Ir would be interesting to know whet Mr. Farquharson thinke of Sis Wilfrid Laurier’s conduet with regerd to probibi- tiou. If bebe the strumg prohibitioniat thet be pretends to be, if be be not ® stronger partisan than he is as a temper- ance man, he il! refuse to pass « Sepaire Referm resolution for Sir Wilfrid un’) after Bir Wilfrid has brought dowo » pronibitory law. At any rate there are good grounds in all the provinces, exeept Quebec, for the passage of resolutions by their respective Legislatures calling upon Sir Wilfrid and his friends to do their duty and fulfil their pledges, expressed and implied, in regard to Prohibition, Every province in Canada, except Quebee, gave a plebieowe majority for a prohibi- tory law; and the total majority in favor of such a law aggregated the large number of 13,000. Therefore, the logical action for the Provincial Legislacures to take is to pase resolutions callisg upon the Dom- to follow ap their plebisete by @ prohibition law. Will Premier Farquharson take this reasonaele course,—the couree indicated and jus:ified by the result of the plebiscite vete in this province. We shall soon see what kind of a temperance man Premier Farquhar- son is

PROVINCIAL PROMIBITION,.

We note that the Guardian suggests thai resort shall now be had to Provincial Prohibition. That is torsy, having got ite friend, Sir Wilfrid Leurier, in a tight place in respect to the question, the tem~ perance mer of this province shall so far as they are concersed, hasten to let him

outot it! We bave no doubt that thick and thin partisans of the Dominion Government—those who prefer the

Laurier- Tarte-Sifton-Blair admunistra- tion before the cavee of tem- perance—will fall in with this idea of the Guardian Bat all Lilerals who are really temperance men will rather unite to bring pressure to bear upor the Govern- ment to fulfil the pledge implied by the plebiecite. If the Government do not go on to fulfil that pledge, as cunsisteacy and honesty demand, the cause of temperance and probibition will receive a set-back througbout Canada. Besides the province cannot enact and enforce a prohibivory law in ite true sense. It cannot prohibit the importation of liquors from abroad; we doubt if itcan probibit the manufaeture of liqucrs within ite own aod ex- perience with the Scott Aci has proved, over and over again, that where liquor is —in all the towns, at leasr— there it will be consumed and there druvk- enness will abound in spite of a law prc- More than that, thie province is not in a position to effeetively enforce a law prohibiting the sale acd comsumption of liquor imported, To do this aa expensive force ef officials will be required ; and the expenses of the proviuceare already greater than ite tax- payers care to bear. No; the proper course of the people and Legislature of thie Province to pursue is to follow the lead of the people of Montague who, at a publie temperance meeting held, a few evenings» azo, passed the following resolution by an BOADvimous vote :

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Two hundred and fifty thousand dol- lars epeot for a plebescite with which to tvol the temperance workers. That’s the way the mover goes,

—The Guardian 1s now anxious that the Conservative party «hall take up the

probibition was supported by a majority ef 13,000 popular vorcs throughout tbe Dominieo and by majorities in vearly two~third« ef the electors! constituencies, and further by large majorities 10 all the territeries aud provintes «xceptone only,—

“Be it tmerefore reevlved, that we, the citizensof Montague and vicinity, aesembl- ed, respectfully urge upom the goveromeat aad parliament ef Cavada, tuat tue wishes of the peeple—as signified im sueh majori- ties of the popular votes of the constitu encies, aud of the provinces,—be daly ac— ceded to, through the granting ef sucu legislation as shal] initiate the banishment from our laod of the liquor traffic with all ite associated evils.”

HON. NEIL McLEOD, M. A.

Tae March noumber ef the Acadia Atheneum contains an interesting bio graphical sketeh (with likeness) of Hon. Neil McLeod, M. A., Judge of the County Court of Prince County. Judge McLeod, it is pointed out, wae born in Uigg, that section of this provisce from which se many elever men have come; and his course is traced throngh Prince of Wales Cellege and Horton Academy aad Acadia College, Speaking of iis college course is is pointed out that, —

“ Judge McLeod was a hard student. Keen im perception, with a deep love of liverature, thorough aad painstaking in whatever he did, analytic aod logical in bis thinking, conversant with books of the higher type—books which contain thetrue pabulum—be founded and but- trersed himeelf for the eoming work of life. As is waid io Boaweli’s Johnson, the desire ef knowledge was bis habitual feei- ing, and he was willing to give ali that he

had to get kmowiedge. He was conscious that the only jewel thet will not decay is knowledge. With all thy getting, get knowledge. Of authors, Macaulay was a favorite, if not his faverite author. This was made evident from a conversation beld with him near the close ef his college

coursegje Something of the flavor of Macault Pw RapaaiaaapeanenttteTS “dn essay which he had prepared. Attention was called te this, and Mr. McLeod at once

said that he read the works of ‘Oniniscent

Tom’ more largely ihan those of any other author. It was simply the aroma of style, that and nothing more. McLeod

did ne surreptitious work.”

A short outline of his career at the bar and in the Proviocial Legislature follows, and his elevation to the bench is also spoken of. In conclusion it is poiated out thatas a manof probity, intelligence and eulture Judge MeLeod stands high. “In ali the important offices be has filled he has hovered kis offise and thue brought

honor te bimeelf, and some of these offises |

are the highest in toe gift of our country. Judge McLeod is where he is to-day be- cause merit receives reward aod the mao makes his place. The true interests of his native land aad the Dominion of Can- ada have been well subserved by his righteous administration, and may he long livea terror to evil doers and sueh asdo well.”

question of probibition It is, at al! events, ceriain tbat if the Conservative party should foliow the Guardian’s advice 1 will not dec ive and disappoint the peo-

le as the Liberals have one. Sir Charles

upper and Mr. Foster, Sir McKenzie Bowell and Senator Ferguson are ail tem- perance men, if we mictake not; and they are supported in Parliament and in the covntry by many persons who have been consistently temperate all their lives. But they will not, we may be sure, take up prohibition merely to retrieve their poli tical fortunes’ Conservatives are not “opportupiste,”’

—The English Stud Book authorities have refused to register suy of the eighty- six American~-bred fillies seot abroad last season by J. B. Haggia. Experts say they can race as half breeds, but neither these fijiies or any of their descendants cas ever be recorded as thoroughbreds om the other side of the water, owing to the differ- ‘euce between the Eoglish and American definition of the term thoroughbred. Io the United States, any borse baving five crosses of thoroughbred blcod on al! sides can be entered in the stud book, even though his sixth dam was a mongrel of unknown pedigree, while in Eugiand a thoroughdred horse is one whose ances- toratrace back in every direction to re- corded animals of supporediy pure Barb and Arab blood, without a contaminating cross.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Ottawa Journsl: While Kipling was ill, the German Emperor cabled sympathy to Mrs, Kipling. That wae a kindly recognition by acrowned monarch of an uncrowned one.

Montreal Gazette: Sir Charles Tupper ie being criticized by the Laurier press because he sometimes talks in the past. There were great events in the past, which sir Charles [upper took a hand in shap- ing. He can afford to talk of the past; and it ie his advantage over his opponents. There are not many of them whocan even afford to telk of the present.

Montreal Gazette: Seovernment papers are claiming thai the returns to date of the financial year show a surplus of five million dollars. It must have been to give the Lendoew bankers a sbare of the good (.mes, in the shape of a tidy interest payment, thatthe government borrowed two anda half millions from them the other dav. With euch a surplus the ministers neyer could have needed the money.
