PROHIBITION AND THE PROV- INCES.

(Montreal Star.)

Sir Wilfrid Laurier aild down the doc-~ trine during the debate on the Franchise Bill that the opinions and even the pre- judices of a province cannot be overridden by a Federal enactment, though the object to be gained be so important as the main- tainence ofa uniform Federal franchise. Thus Quebee does not lke manhood suff- rage, and the Dominion must not force it upon her, ckoosing rather to fall back upon the inequalities of the Provincial franchise.

‘GLADSTONE.

———-

Some of his Habits and Characteris- tics. The first place of interest on the way to

Hawarden ia the little parish church where Mr. Gladstone has been wont to read the pravere on Sunday. It is built

in the early English style of archit2c.ure, and bas nothing remarkable about it other than being the place where the most dis- tinguished man in Great Britain worships. Every Sunday, rain or shine, when at Hawardea, the statesman was, not long | since found ic his seat within the chancel | of the little church. Gis placeis on the } front bench, which is fitted up with a | rubber air cushion and contains a prayer book and Bible.

His day is opened and closed with pray- ¢r, and when the cures of state have pres- eed bard upon him he has gone to his “secret closet” many times in the course of twenty-four bourse. It isa well known fact that during # cabinet crisis he went to church vo Jess than three times in one day. And as if to encourage the ex~Premier in appealing tothe Almighty for aid at all times, there is this text in hie bedroom hanging over the mantlepiece.

“Thou will keep him ia perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee.”

The Gladstgne family, which represents three generationr, sits immediately behind the head of the house, while the servants have seats near the choir. The little church is filled every Sunday, many visitors coming for the purpose of seeing aid bearing the foremost statesman in Great Britain performing the humble

Without criticising this position favor- ably or unfavorably, it may be permissible to ask whether the same priuciple applies in the Premier’s mind to the important question of drohibition. He has promised to provide for a pleviscite this sesrion, In thisJway it is to be presumed that all the provinces will be gwen an opportunity to declare whetber or not they want to reea law enacted prohibiting the manufacture importation and sale of alcohvlic beverag: s Now let us propose tbat one or two of the provinces differ from the rest; what does the Premier intend to do about it? Whether he calls the cause cf the differenee an ovinion or a prejudice, does he intend to oversride it? Should the majority of the whole vote be for Prohibition, let us say, but shoud Quebec and British Columbia give large major.- ties against it; then a eituatiou wil) be created not unlike that presented to the Premier when he findsa majority of the Provinces for manhood suffrage and one o° two againet it,

It is certainly a fair question then to ask whether under such circumstances he will consietently apply the principle of respecting the opinions and pr: jndices of the dissenting provinces respecting pro-~ hibition in the «ame manner ae he has ap- plied it in the franchise matter, And it is @ question of the greatest importance to both Probibitionists and non-Prohibition~ ists. A Prohibitory law~—eepecially the important clauee of it~—cannot be appli- ed to this country by provinces. If the Premier intends to give a dissenting pro- vince its way he must deny ihe ma. jority the Jaw they have asked for; but if he does not intend to apply the same treat- ment to prohibition as vo the franchise question, then he must undertake the enormous task of forcing prohibition on an unwilling province.

[tis a question that ovght, too, to be answered before the vote. If the Prohi- bitionists must gain a nejority in each and every province in order to win, they ought to know it; and if a mejority against.

service of reading prayers.

The average day at Hawarden Castle used to be passed substantially as follows : Mr. Gladstone when in health awoke at

7.30 o’clock,and had a light breakfast served him in bed in his room. He generally §mude

it & point to rise at 10 o’clock, after read- ing io bed a couple of hours, and then went through his mail. As he did not em Jloy a secretary, this took seme little time. Very soon, however, he had a pack of pos- ta! cards ready for mailing, for letters were rarely written by him in these latter days, Lunch was then served, after which he read til] 4 o’elock and then took an bour’s walk. Dinner came at 8 o’clock, and the remaind~ er of the evening was divided between the family fireside and the library.

Mr..Glads one is methodical to a degree. Indeed, he has beeu called a buman chrot~ ometer. His theory a6 to bis study was certainly good. Buring the day he work - ed on knotty and hard problems, but iv the evening turns hie a tention to lighter litera» ture,

OBITUARY.

It becomes our painful duty to chronicie the death‘ owing to heart failure, of Mie Dougald Munn, of Roseneath, in the 56th year of his age. This sad event occured on Sunday evening, March 20th. The de- ceaced was a native of Wood Islands, and moved with bis family to New Perth about twenty years ago, from which place he sub- sequently removed to Rozeneath having purchased the mills formerly owned by the late Rdward Poole, Exq. He was a gentle- man very widely known in the southern portions of King’s and Queen’s Counties, anc in al] bis relations in life was charac- terized by his irflexinle recitade and high moral character. He was a consistent and faithfal member of the Presbyterian Church at Cardigan, and although fixity of principle was bis guiding star he was never obtrusive nor atternpted to thrust those principles on others. For upwards

Prohibition in one provinceis enough to kill the measure, the anti-Prohibition- ists ought to know it,

The Premier will probably be prepared to make his position clear on this poiat when he brings down the plebiscite bill,

A Common Cold

and common carelessness can make 3 combination strong enough to defy all the healing skill of the physician. Common carelessness lets the cold root and grow. Common carelessness says, between paroxysms of cough- ing, “It will be all right in a day or tio,” and the common end is con- firmed lung trouble, perhaps con- sumption. The common-sense treat- ment of a common cold is a prompt | dose of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. It is the most efficient and reliable cure for colds and coughs, and is con- stantly prescribed by physicians.

§. Haynes, M. D., Saranac, N. Y., says :—

“T have used Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral in my practice since 1853, and have always found it reliable for the cure of colds, coughs, and all lang diseases.” _ moe

Gigantic Ice Breakers.

Boats described as steam-—rams are now in use in ice-locked Russian harbours and rivers, and have proved that they can force their way through thick ice, even with 72 degrees of frost. The harbor of Viadivo- stock, till of late hermetically sealed for four or five monthe, has since 1893 been keep accessible through the winter; the Finuish port of Hango is now open to com- merce throughout the vear. Ard last winter asimilar steam-ram kept up con- nection with the Ural railway through the ice of the Volga at Saratoff. It is proposed now to keep open, by stronger boate of this kind, the communication of St, Petersburg with the sea, and to force a wiater connec tion through the ice from Archangel to the mouth of the Yeneisei. Admiral Makarof, addressing the Rassian geoprapbical society, insists that still more powerful poats of this kind might safely be counted 0a to cope with polar ice, such as Nansen had to deal with, and to cut a passage to the North Pole.-—€hambers’s Journal,
