ors of thedominion council forthe formation of a National Prohibition Committee for Canada, com posed of representatives of all the great temperance societies, and would recommend tbat this MaritimeGrand Counel, by motion, appoint one of its strongest members to represent this pody atthe coming meetivg of the proposed National committee, to be held in Toronto pext October. Within our own juri-diction bave taken place in Nova Scotia and iu Prince Edward Island. In Nova Scotia a large number of the candidates, at the selicita- tion of the temperance people, gave pledges bearing on the temperance question. hut they were of the usual stereotyped charac- ter, showing that with them as witb the average elecior party interests have the first claim upou their sympathies. Io Yarmouth county Mr. E. C. Simonson ran asa straight prohibition candidate and polled a very creditable vote, considering that the two political parties bad regular candidates in the field. In Prince Edward Island the list of elected candidates does not indicate that the new house bas received additional strength to deal with the liquor problem.

The recommendation of this grand body at its last annual session that the execu- tive should appoint a delegation to wait upon the New Bruaswick legislature and press for some improvement in the licen~-e laws has been carried out, but hes beeu without practical result. We eti!l regard the act of the legislatuge in arsuming con- tro! of the license machinery formerly in the hands of municipalities ae a retrograde morement, as the system in the new form is susceptible to grave abuses. At the last session of the Nova Scotia as3zembly previous to prorogation a bill wae intro- duced by Mr. Firmen McChure, who then repres’ ed Colchester cuunty in the local house, but ! as since been elected to the federal parliament.

This measure W-:a first reading, and was ordered to be published for the infor- mation of electors. It las been done, and we are led to under-iand that the measure will be re-introduced at the coming session, with the support of a considerable section of the temperauce people of that province.

Te nperance Act tothecit) @ Halifax w th- out the necessity of having the aut! ority of a majority of citizens.

Many sections of the new law are very strict, and if effectualiy operated would aid in the more certain prohibition of the traffic n the province; but the danger is that by grasping for the name the sub- stance wili be Jost, aud that the Scott Act and the License Laws which have run the gauntiet of the courts will be supplemented by a measure which haa not been tested, and as a consequence the liquor trattic will be practicaliy unrestricted, while the slow course of appeal is taken from court to court, until the constitutionality of the measure is affirmed by the privy conacil— a proceed ng consuming five or six years. Weare nor sanguine of the wisdom of porsuing for the name of prohibition with- ont buving io reality that which the term represents. We see nothing to be gained from placing on the statute books so-called prohibitory laws, if the circumstances and machinery are lacking for successful en- forcement. Such law followed by results pot commensurate with the hope it arouses only give point tothe well knowa argu- ment of the antis that prohibition does vot prohibit.

Again, as an organization we place on recor | our expression of non-confidence in the nitimate success of any probibitory measure fr the destraction of the liquor traétic which has not behind ita govern- ment responsible not only for its enactment but for its enforcement,

We wish to reaffirm the clanse in our Jaat year’s report, which says “we are opposed to the plebiscite on the grounds that the liquer traffic can only be abol- ished effectually by a governn.ent In sympathy with such law, avd whore tenure of office depends upon its enforce- ment,” yet, as the plebiscite evidently stands between us and any immedia‘e advanced legislation, pressure shon] i be brought to bear to have the popular vote taken as soon as possible, and thus
