drinking men, and find that the alcohol produces in regular stages, redness, intense congestion, morbid secretion, deeper hurt, destruction of parts, utter ruin. We study its influence upon the health and strength of sailors and soldiers, it helps to freeze 'them in the Artie regions and exhaust them iin the tropies. We watch two regiments un a long march in India, one with and the ‘other without grog, and are driven to the conclusion that even moderate quantities of a'cohol weaken the muscles and bresk the ‘endurance We visit the training grounds of oarsmen, pedestrians and prize fighters, and learn everywhere the same lesson—el- cohol is a poison to muscle and brain.

jability say that restriction is an ¢flicient measure wnich accomplishes good results We have never yet seen any good results following the most stringent restrictive law. The only thing that restriction can accom- plish is to clsoe the lowest and vilest dens so far as the public eye is concerned. Restric- tion may withhold license from these places. but it never yet has succeeded in blotting them out. But suppose these places can be closed through restriction, is not this plan foolish as the farmer who only pulls out the largest weeds, and allows the small ones to grow !
The most respectable dramshop, so far as a dramshop can be respectable, must either be- come a low dive or it must make a low dive a necessity. Men who drink intoxicating liquor may at first drink s-cially, but in a very short time they drink because they love the effects of the alcohol. And when men have acquired the alcoholic eppetite they continue drinking until they experience the desired effect. Av first driuking men are satisfied when they ‘have drunk enough to give them a feeling of jexhilaration, but the tendency of alcoholic stimulants is to lead them on until nothing ‘Joes than the gutter will satisfy them. When imen reach this condition nothing but alcoho’ will satisfy them, «od iley will get it at all

the sale of liquor: If it d*minishes the sale of liquor to any extent, to that extent the liquor dealers will oppose it. And if, as some sty, restriction wilt diminish the sale of liquor more than prohibition, than rums :liers will vppose it more strenuously than prohibition, The liquor traffic isa crime, and no sensible man will advocate the restriction of crime. A restrictive law assumes that the business it seeks to restrict is not necessarily evil, but that its volume might be undesirably large.
What we need is to educate the people up to the stendard of prohibition, and te do this is a peculiar task. To succeed we must write, speak, work and pray until the end is reached.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Mr. L EL. Bavies’ Letter.
—
Sir,—In his letter to Tok Examiner of the 23rd, Mr. L. U1 Duavies, M P., reviews the old comparisonof the cost of the Severn tuunel with that of the proposed P. EL Is- land tunnel. We wish simply to sxy that no comparigon as to cost can be drawu_ be- tween the two, on account of the very dis- similar natural ecnditions met with in each case, In the Severn, the horizontal triassic beds, through which the tunnel had to pass were broken through in the middle of the river by au upheaval of the underlying%car- boniferous. When the excavation reached | this point it was immediately flooded by an it flux of water fromthe disrupted strata Again, in the Severn, the trisssic beds were marls, not shales, ‘These maris being cal- catious are exceedingly liable to be pene- trated by water.
In the proposed P. E. Island tunnel, on the other hand, the beds to be penetrated are chiefly clay shales lying in an undis- turbed condition. | No form of rock bed is less liable to fracture and leakage than these shales, and none can be more easily excavated, The great difficulty hike'y to be met in such a work is leakage, but here we may expect the least possible trouble in that respect. Indeed, as Sir William Dawson has said, ** The ground is as favor- able as could be desired for such a work,” so that the expense will b> reduced te the minimum of shbaquous tunnelling.

Sin,—My letter, written with the very best intentions, seems to have given mortal offence to Dr. Baynes, who characterizes it as pitiable, farcical and humiliating. Why all this wrath’?

Then why does he bate me? 1 simply wrote you in reference to an editorial paragraph wm, which you stated that Koch’s lymph had licen. received in Charlottetown, For this he evlls meal! kinds of hard names, and threatens vengeance. He says what little information I) possess was received from the newspapers. Strange that he should fault that source of in- formation, as no one believes more in the newspapers than he does. He telis me there are scores of books written on the subject, and that there are hundreds of medical men, besides Koch, experimenting with the remedy. Very true Lhe experimenting is going on, nu dovbt, and as long vs the patienis stand the experimenting of these hundreds of men [ sup- pose I have no reason to complain. But it is not the experimenting I ara concerned about. It isthe results. Why has he raised such & dust_over my simple enquiry? I made no at- tack upon him. Allow ime to teil him that he is not going to make a martyr out of himsef at my expense. My information respecting the admivistration of Kech’s lymph was ob- tained, not from the newspapers, as he flip- aoe asserts, but from a letter written by

Water Commisswner. This, therefore, is an opportune time to raise a “dust.” Up to the present time thedust nuisance has not been »bated.

If so } will vote for him. Bat, ia common with thousands do so by using the hose and nozzie. Away With the water cart. One or tus Dust Victims. Jan. 25rd, 1891,
Warned and Marked. A YOUNG GRASS WIDOWER AWAKES TO FIND & BLUE CROSS ON HIS FOREHEAD. Charles Buss, of Shenetown, a village near Pittsburg, Pa., 1s the victimofa peculiar assault while asleep The young
| man, prominent in the Methodist Episopal
Church of-his village, was married to a young lady about vine months ago.
Six weeks ago trouble arose and they agreed to separate. Since his wife left him at short intervals Duss has received numer- ous communications warning him under threats to leave town at once. Last Sunday night he heard noisy about the house.
This is the last he remembered until next morning when he was struck almost dumb at thediscovery of a blue cross imprinted upon kis face, extending from his hair iown over hisa nose, the crosspiece over his forehead.
A physician states that the cross was picked with India ink and cannot be re- ‘moved. In the centre of the cross were the letters *“*N. to C.” A night or two later Buss received another warning notice to leave the place inside of twenty-four hours or he would be a corpse.
This notice was placed in the hands of detectives, who are working cn the cose. Buss has nc idea who his enemies ure. |
