i forded a sort of scientific basis for the fraud. The promoters claimed to _have discovered a plan for extract V ing the gold by means of electricity y and quicksilver or mercury, but the process was a secret. To induce ‘ capitalists to take stock in the enter- [prise a. number of them were _assembled at Providence with the promise of seeing the process in actual operation.

After the 'tank was properly arranged, it was lowered to the bottom and the current was turned on, and the investors sat around to await results" A diver, who has uow fled the country, walked on the bottom of the sea at this point and substituted mercury~ specially pre- pared with gold for the mercury tnwhich the gentlemen had furnished. ‘When the tank was brou ht u to

by design, that Admiral Dewey bom- .jbarded and captured Manila, _just on ‘ the eve of peace. The incident adds another drop to the bitterness o'f Spain’s defeat. It had been hoped thatlthe Phillipine capital might be H held till the close of the war, aiford A ing a headquarters to the Spanish government in the Islands and being ya means towards preserving Spanish possession. There is no doubt, too, that the leading powers of continental Europe were unwilling to see Manila. fall into the hands of the Americans. While the capital held out, and the American forces had no extensive foothold on the islands, it would be comparatively easy to argue that the Phillipines should be left as they were before the war.

POR PROHIBITION.

In some recent comments on tho

attitude of the party press toward pro- hibition we fear that Tris GUARDIAN did injustice to some of the political journals. We are glad to find our esteemed evening contemporary, the Patriot speaking out squarely in favor of prohibition as it had before sup-

ported the Scott Act. Says the Patriot:

Our experience extends over a good

many. years, and in more than one province. We have seen total prohibi- tion in operation in the Nolhwest, and we are convinced its effects were most salutary, The workings of the Scott Act, license laws and liquor regulation acts have all come under cur observa- tion, and we believe that total prohibi- tion' is the best of all restrictive laws.

The Toronto Globe, a principal rx-

and in the Dominion at largZ,ha.s recent- ly spoken with no uncertain sound in favor of prohibition. We shall* be most happy if we find other political journals of either party taking f like ground. Prohibition is not a party- question and the plebiscite i»campaign ought not tolbe turned to the advant- age ordisadvantage of either.

But political journals are so read that they can scarcely discussing the one great topic upon which the entire electorate of Canada is called to vote. Why speak out manfully- and advise

sm --Your correspondent, _Church-

goer is falling more deeply into mental confusion than ever. Why has he written Tmr GUARDIAN to know the names of the Trustees ot Stanhope Cemetery. when it is well kno sn ther e is one at home P

His communication is. entirely false,

as the Cemetery has recently been put in order without Church-goer’s .time or money, although both were promised prior to the beginning ot the work. He seems to be annoyed because, there will be no crop ot buckwheat. fertilized by

the custo! his kindred. He is the last

manwe expected to hear .from in this piiticu‘ar. Church-goer would not give as much time to putting the cemetery in order as he spent scrib- bling his un'rulhIu1 ccmmunicwion to THE GUARDIAN, _

His statengenls in regard to the

church and the (ab) normal class ,have already been iotulod, consequcntlyl need not refer to them again. '

This is the second occasion on which

his public repors of church matters

continue to write for the press, ho will meet with the same success as he has in his years of labor and desiring to be- come Monarch of Covaliead and Stau-
