The Patriot goes one better than The Guardian and, besides wanting to krow spat Tas Examiner is going to do at out it, expresses doubt about Tue Examiner's
r ised statement thatthe government prom
an unconditional plebiscite. It is well re- membered that previo 14 tO the election, the Leader of the government upon several eccasions, referred to the Probibition question; but it is not remembered , that he ever gave expression to one word, iadi- cating that the probibtion plebisc’te would be accor )panied by a vote
prot ised
as to the willingness of ‘he people to bear additional taxation. The announcement of this latter came as a eurpriee, after the election, to every temperance man in the land. Besides, the Libers] party, as the Patriot admits, passed the following reso-~
Jation at its notable convention, held in the city of Ottawa, in 18): “That whereas public attention is at
present much directed to the considera- tion of the admittedly great evils of in- temperance, it is desirable that the mind of the people shouid be ciearly ascertained ov the question of Prohibition by means of a Dominion plebiscite.”
There is not one word in this resolution about “New Taxation” or any other inci dent of prohibition—not the faintest inti- mation that the Plebiscite would be taken upon any other question than that of the simple one, “Are you “for” (or “agaivst”) prohibition?’ Let the organs of the government argue and explain,and “squirm round” as they cnly can, the fact re- maine that the government is morally guilty of a breach of faith with the tem- perance men of this country.
The Premier is reported as having said, a few days ago, that “every incident to the iseue must go in” to the plebiscite vote. In this saying the Premier ie, how- ever false to his former promise, perfectly consistent with the new position that he hastaken. If the question of ‘‘new taxa~ tion” 1a to go in, so also may the question vf compensation to liquor wanufactures and dealers, so also may the question of the limitation of prohibition, and other questions which wiil ceriainly come up in the course of a discussion of prohibition, and which will have to be grappled with if a majority of the people decide and vote in favor of probibition. These questions must and will, of course, con* adered by. the intelligent voter when making up his mind whether to vote for or against prohibition.

As tothe coarse Tae Examiner will pursue in respect to Prohibition, The Patriot, at least, ought not to need infor- mation. THe EXAMINER has for many years been
upon record as favorable toa fair and rea~ sonable measure of prohibition,—a measure which will make the manufacture, ea'e and ase of alcoholic liquors illegal for beverage porposes, and will yet place alcholic stimulants within easy reach, at a rea. yonable price,of the sick and infirm andold wr those who desire ii for mecbanica) and sacramenta! purposes. To the trialof such a measure as that, Tas Examiner stands fomimitted and for such a measure ax that we shall strive. Bu: we shall at the same sime, as in respect to the Scott, Act permit a free expression Of opinion and a fair Jlis- evssion of the whole question—and no; merely one side of it—when the time for discussion shall come.

—One of the strange and deep-seated delusions of th.s world has been, and ap- parently still is, that war promotes pros~ perity and increases wealth. History has tanght difere tly and reasons shows the contrary. As well might a community be rendered prosperous by a geveral coufla- gration War produces notiivg; ita only mission io destroy, and

—The cerdial feelings expressed botb in the United Stste< and in England in favor of an Anglo-American falliance are gratifying. Mr. Bryce, the hi declares his belicfin the existence ofa de-p and strong sympathy as we!] as an essential sence of unity between the two peopies. Ao English diplomatiet is report- ed as saying: “It is not any stretch of imagination to tay that®such a union bas been lonyed for by the be-t men in Great Britain for many years, not only because of the gonuine wish tor clorer bonds of friendship, but because it is a known fact that all the etatesmeu of Kurope realize that a clove alliance between America and great Britain wou'd afford proof that the reiga of law and individwal liberty is to be benefit of mankind.” The sneaker declares it to be the noblest object to which the statesmen of both couniries cau devote their energies, “What we do wish,” be continues, “and what wise men on both sides must earnestly desire, is that each nation shall feelthatit has in the other a friend and a brother on whose sympathy it caa rely intime of need.”
—Few Westerners are aware of the im- mense educatioval work now carried on in China. The feeling is gaining ground aniong the Chinese that Western knowledye is essential to the progress of China, and this is Jeading to a demand for Western education. The result is that the various collegea and schools established by the missionarie bave applications for admission far beyond their capacity to recsive the applicants. Some of the most ‘in- teresting educational movements are amoug the natives themselves, Leading Government officials have instituted a col- lege at Shanghai in which Western sci-~ ences are to be taught. They have ee- cured the services ofan American mis- sionary a3 President’ and have given him fall power as to the erection of buildings, the establishment of course of study, and the employment of instructors. One hun» dred and fifty pupils are enrolled already, and they are entirely under the instruction of Christian teachers, This is but one example out of not a few that might be cited,

—The farmers in the eastern townships of Quebec, in despair at the prospect he- fure them, are forwarding petitions to Sir Wiifrid Laurier, in which after showing that the agricultural industry is far from progrescring, they declare:
“That instead of, as we fond!y hoped would be the case, the debt heing reduced, or at lea-t kept ac a standstill, under your administration, it has risen from 326 million dollars to 340 million ;
“That, having regard to their own solvency and the future of their children, your petitioners regard it as imperatively necessary that there be no more Joans;
That,if it be urged that putting angend to borrowing would stop the development of Canada, we would remind you that no in- terests can be of more importance to the welfare of the damiuion than those of its farmers, and that a suspension of »ubsides to railwars and the extension of public works would be less injurious to the general weal than the continued decay of the farm- ing industry ;
Therefore, we pray that no further addi- tions be made to the debt of the dominion, and that mouev needed for extraordinary expenditure be found by reducing the pubs lic ertablishment to a standard in keeping with the means of its |. boring classes, of which the farmers form the most im- portant part.
