chandise, a bureau of amusement, or a social club. None of these things are nominated in her joint high commissior, and her franchise does mt contemplate in leadership the executive ability of a railroad president for administration.

Individually, her members may earn money in any honest way, but corpor-4 ately they have nothing to do with money but to receive free~will offerings as an act of worship, and transmit them to the proper objects. We are plainly t-a_ught,_by precepg a:id_f_ei_c_aniple, from

Domlnlon Alliance Appoint a Committee of Members

‘ to Brine Rrohlbition Be-

fore The House-Whip Sutherland Declares This

Proceeding is Decidedly Farcical. -

the House yesterday Premier Laurier replied to' Sir Charles Tupper in the debate on 'the address, speaking to a_ crowded House and galleries.

He charged that the opposition lead;

er had. iu his tive hours’ speech given more adjectives than ideas and more scolding than anythi.-.g else.

Referring to the plebiscite he said tho

pledge had been made by the Liberal party in convention that a plebiscite should be taken, and a plebiscite had

been taken.

Theresult wasthat only 23 percent of

of people had pronounced in favor of prohibition, and as the leader of the

Liberal ,party and with, a full sense, of ¢

he had no hesitation in saying that there was never_ any intention of adopting prohibition unless a majority of the electorate pronounced in favor of it. -

With reference to the fast Atlantic

service he admitted that the government had as yet dons inns but he 'hoped their efforts would yet bear fruit.

He took up the Washington Com-

mission and defended the commission

from the charges made against it of taking a very long time to do very little.

Hon. Mr. Foster replied, dealing

especially with the government’s trade policy, charging that the public ac- counts were ccoked to conceal the real

financial position. He argued- that boasted tariff reductions only amounted in the aggregate to a fraction of one

per cent. _ Sir Richard Cartwright moved the

a.djournment'of the debate and is re- plying to Mr. Foster today.

Orrawa. March 22.-(Special)-

The legislative committee of the Dom- inion Alliance met this morning.

F. S. Spence introduced a resolution that parliament should pass a prohibi- , tory law.

McClure (Lib) moved an amend- ment that as the prohibition vote was such that parliament could not ignore it, and as the government had declined to act.a committee of seven be appoint-

HIDNIGHI ECLIPSE OF THE SUN

The ordinary almanac gave for D . .

13 ap titical eclipse of the sun, invisigfe at Greenwich. And indeed the ex- pression as to its invisibility might have been put much stronger, for it was to be seen in no inhabited region of the earth. An anarctic expedition might possibly have sailed within its sphere of influence. but as it was .it passed unwatched by human eyes. __ _ This being so, and the eclipse one that;

about it, and as if it might be passed without comment But, unseen as ii was, the eclipse was by no means devoid of interest.First ot all, it offers us-an example of what seems a paradoxs an eclipse of the sun taking glanse at lociil midnight. It is, moreover, the first of three eclipses falling with in a period no longer than a single calender month. Dec. 27 will bring a total eclipse of the intoi at Greenwich, Jan. 11 a partial eclipse ofthe sun. And the three are intimately connected with each otheif. The latter in nearly all its character- isties stands in strong contrast to the eclipse of Dec. 13-a large 'partial eclipse which will be seen just outside the borders of the arctic- regions, at their midday and l in their midwinter_ _Nor 'is this sequence ` accidental. ' A similar triplet of eclipses-the first partial of the sun and seen near the south pole. the second total ofthe moon, the third pirtial of the sun and visible near the north pole-occurred just eighteen years ago, all three eclipses falling in December, 1880. Going back yet anuthereighteen years we lind the same thing repeated some ten days earlier in the year. and so on, right away backward till 1664, when, while the southern eclipse was a largepartial one and fell nearly in theinidwinter of the southern hemisphere, the northern was a mere graze taking place at the midnight of the regions from which it was' visible. Looking for Ward we' find in like manner tk at eighteen years hence another similar triplet of eclipses' will fall at the turn of the year, and yet another eighteen years later still. This ends the series oftht-se midnight eclipses of the sun in the south polar regions, for January, 1953. will ti ». marked only by a total eclipse of the mimi.-London
