AN HONEST PROHIBITIONIST.

Some of the apparently most enthusias. tic advocates of prohibition during the pleLiecite campaign were prominent in paying their homage to Sir Louis Davies durivg his recent visit to the province. Some of these same gentlemen are busy canvassing for Messrs. Irving and Mc- Kinnoo, and appearing on public plat- forms in their interest, notwithstanding the fact that these candidates are support- ing an administration which struck a deadly b!ow at probibitive legislation by passing a License Act. The actions of theee persons throws great doubt on their Sincerity as regards prohibition. As far as they are concerned, their object, in the light of their present action, was simply to prees for a plebiscite so that they would be in a position to harass the Con-

| servative Government which they thought | would be ia power when the popular vote | would be ascertained. There never was @ more thorough piece of humbug than The expressed will of the people was to be ascertained, and the party pledged itself to abide by the There never was a hint given befurehand that a clear majority of the names on the voters’ list must vote for

the Laurier plebiscite.

decision.

prohibition in order to entitle the verdict to be made law. A strong appeal was made to the temperance men to support Laurier, because “he had taken his |ife in his bands in the interests of prohibition.

At @ meeting beld recently, ia the base-~ ment of the Baptist Church, Halifax, to discuss the political aspects of prohibition with reference to the plebiscite and the approachisg election, John T. Bulmer, Etq., @ supporter of Laurier in 1896, uttered sentiments which present a credit~ able contrast to the cringing, time~serv- ing conduct of some gq 10ndsam probibi- tionists in P. E. Island. He described the action of Sir Wilfrid as “the great treae sen,” aod dealt most effectually with the

plea he made in parliament last session

as to his recreaucy On this question. Sir Wilfrid said : “There was not aman living who ex~!

pected at the time the plebiecite was taken that the duatv would be imposed on the Government of introducing a prohibitory measure unless, at least, one half of the electorate recorded their vote iu favour of that policy.”

In reply tothe above excuse Mr. Bual- mer presented a bit of interesting history as to temperance legislation. Io 1881 Mr. Boultbee, M. P. for East York, intro- duced a hill in Parliament to amend the Scot: Act providing that the Aci should not gointo force in any place unlecs

by

&@ majority ofthe voters on the list voted for its adoption. This is precisely the principle that Sir Wilfrid Laurier applies to probibition to-day. Here are@what leading Liberals said about the Boultbee amendmeat :

The Hon, Edward Blake said:

“A majurity of the reg’stered votes isa

thing uoder our present sys'em pract c- ;

ally unattainable. and theretore yon are practically, if this bill passes, placiag a

barrier, not to be passed over, tthe opera Coe ee ee The conclusion I draw is, that experi-

ence in this country has established tt at

you cannot, no .matter how strong the Sentiment, get out under our pre- sent system a majority of the registered voters; and therefore the member for East York (Mr, Boultbee) ie proposing, not a means by whicb this law can be enforced where there is a strong demand for it, but a means by which it can never be placed in operation.”

The Hon. George Rose, now Premier of Ontario eaid :

“Ta it common honesty? (mean~ ing tke bill) If my bon. friend can

int me a clause in the Temperance Act of 1878 that has the stamp.o? dishonesty as clearly on its face as the simple state- ment in his own bi'l, ! will abandon tbe act altogether. Would it not be an out- rage On Common decency for parliament \0 place on the statutes a bill by which living man would have no more weigh than a dead man,”

The Hon. David Mills, now Minister of Justice, said :

“Now hon. gentlemen have assumed

that thore who fail to vo.ein favor of temperance legislation are op~ pored to legislation of that sort. Now

I do not believe that that assumption is well founded. In my opinion the grest majority of those who fail to record their votes are perfectly indifferent. Tey are Willing that the experiroent shal) be tried if a majority of those who vote favor it and they are willing to permit licenses to be granted ifa@ majority take that particular view. They neither throw their ioflu- ence in favor of prohibitory legislation nor do they throw cheir influence against it.”

Mr. Bulmer went on to show that Laurier voted reject the Boultbee amendment and that every temperance man in the House joined in condemning. the in~ famous proposition to have the vote on the Scott Act taken on a majority of the regis-~ They, one and all, mercilessly

mer wound up bis eloquent and manly speeca by saying that: “The prohibitionists of this country

know what it is to have their eves plucked out by those whom they took to be their friends, and to-dav like blind Samsons, we are toiling in the Philistine mill—defeated, broken, disappointed and cast down, and if we do not. defeat every man supporting the present government the word probibi- tion will not be mentioned at Ottawa for the next fifty years.”

—A correspondent writes: ‘ The Liber- ala of King’s are not a happy family. They recoghize that the nomination made under his own presidency at Dundas of their candidste for the Federal House is weak as water, and that there are several sore heads among the bell-wethers of their flock. On Saturday last, under Sir Leuis’ august protection, they met again in a hole and corner way in Georgetown to fix up matters. About balf a duzen supervi- sors and the Dundas nominee were a) that materialized. ‘The eession was held witn closed doors, and a general cementing of the party was the burden of their song. Some of the supervisors said to their Con- servative friends: ‘‘ We had to go, but we know the game is up for ourman ” The candidate bumptiously informed some Conservatives also that he was ‘ merely arranging for anotuer meeting to let Dr. Robertson down easily.” The doctor, it appears, is not in a humor to be patronized

by a fledgling in Libereliem like the Duns |

das candidate. Even Sir Louis’ smile

MORE DEBENTURES !

More debenturer, a heavier permanent encumbrance,—thie, if our advices from Belfast are correct, is the bold!y announced policy of the Hon, Doneli Farquharson.

There are, it may be admitted, circum-— stances under which the issue of deben- tures can be justified, as for instance when it is certain that the public improve nents

revenue to pay the interest aecruing in respect to them. We have a water and sewerage debenture debt ia Charlottetown resuitiog from the construction of works of common utility, This debt is al right, begause the receipts of the sewerag? and water commissioners will cover ex- penses, inc:uding the interest. But in the case of the huge Provincial debt heaped up hy the party now in power, there is no such justification. No revenue accrues from the $120,000 sunk in the election of 1893, or from the jong roll of deficits which go to make up the $600,000 debt of the Province. There will be a smal! revenue resulting from the tax recestly imposed upon the pupils atiendiog Prince of Wales College; and the government might be excused ‘f it incurred a emall debenture debt to ensure the construction of the new college building. Bat we

Ought in any case to be issued by the Pro- vncial Government. Ifwehad great and Varied natural resources from which to draw, as Nova Scotia or New Brunswick or Ontario, we might be able to afford a debenture debt. But with nothing except the farmers’ pockets to supply the inter evt money which it involves, a debenture debt ought never to have been issued and certainly should not be increased. As a

prudent farmer, this Province cught to | live within ite means and yearly income.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—It is reported that the troopers on the road to Kimberley are marching ia the lightest order. ‘The officers are carrying only a waterproof sheet and blanket, Lord Methuen sharing the ordinary rations.

—The mail from Pictou continaes to arrive “‘Jate’ and we may haveto inter a protest and expose the cause, It is un- tolerable that private interests should persistently interfere with a public right and convenience.

—Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been forced to admit that the**Business is Business” Guv~ eromeat made a mistake in throwing Open to United States vessels the Canadian coasting trade on the Upper Lakes. He pleads that they ‘‘will never do it again.

—We now want confirmation of the res port that the Canadian Coutiogent has ar- rived at Cape Town, and to know that Lord Methuen’s force tas relieved Kimber~ ley, andto hear the result of General Joubert’e excursions into Southern Natal.

—As to Manitoba the conditions are exactly tbe reverse of those in Prince Edward Island. There the Liberal Pro- vincial Government is exirem ly avxious to bé known as independent and apart

from the Liberal Dominion Administra- tion. The latter bas no railways to build in Manitoba just now, and is ex-

tremely unpopular.

— Asa result of munificence of a friend of McGill University, who has con:ributed a Jarg- svm of money for the purpose,a new chair wii] be established, to be called the Daweou chair, ia memory of the late Sir William Dawson. The foundation of the new chair is conditional on the provision that Lady Dawson will enjoy the income during the remainder of her life.

—A Mr. CampbeH, M. P., eupporting our Libera] Government, has adopted the same tone towards Toronto that Sir Louis Davies did towards Belfast and Murray Harbor. Ina recent speech he said that “ large expenditures were beng made for pubiic werks in Montreal and in other

to Toronto while she maintained her pre- sent attitude” in opposition to the Liberal powere that be.

—At one time we purchased more from

Great Britain than from across the line. Now the story is changed. Look at this
