Tue Dairy [xXAMINER. JULY 5, 1883. The Situation as to the Liquor lratiic . | Mr. Whitman has called attention to facts which would be SCa daious to ( har- lottetown if the traffic in strong drink | in defiance of | the law, are lamentably disgracetul, Ol course, Mr. Justice Peters referred to them in the language of irony. With| liquor shops open in every quarter of | the town and drunken about the streets every day, we all know well what Judge Peters meant by the ‘‘ad- | mirable working of the Scott Act.’ The situation calls for the use of the iron of the law, for the Judge's | irony. Mr. Whitman denies that he censured the Stipendiar Perhaps he did not. It is possible that the per- | son who epitomized his remarks for Tne EXAMINER At any rate, we uvhesilatingly accept his disclaimer, and say that the open and notorious, were perfectly lawful, and, men staggering rather than 7 ts Magistrate. : diary was mistaken. daily aud nightly, violation of a law known to all, reflects disgrace, not only upon the Stipendiary Magistrate and the officials under his charge, but upon every man in authority, upon the clergy, upon the laity, upon every inflaential person, upon the whole community, It is lamentable that public opinion does not require the enforcement of the law. The Stipendiary Magistrate is, probably, lesa blameable than anyone else. Hebhas to decide on the cases brought before him, and cannot, in jus- tice to all concerned, interfere in the prosecution of offenders. But the police officers might do so. lu our opinion, they ought to doeso. And if public opiuion were brought to bear upon them —if they felt sure that they would be borne out barmless by the respectable part of the community—we have no doubt whatever that they would do so. Looked at from any point of view that can be adopted, the disgraceful situatiou in Charlotietown with respect to the violation of the law. is seen to be due to the wavt of a public spirit to uphold the law. Open violations of the laws against theft, or arson, or burglavy, or murder, would at once be resented by an indig- nant public, and prompt justice would be demanded. But the open violation of the law against the liquor traflic—the arch promoter of all crime—draws forth only an ironical comment from the seat of justice, and magistrates, officials, and people look on with the wutmost indif- ference. Is it any wonder that our esteemed contemporary the Herald calls for the abandonment of the Scott Act and the renewal of the licevse system? If this could at once be done we should at once second the motion, Anything rather than this demoralizing violation of the law with respect te the great demoralizer of the civilized world. But it cannot be done for upwards of a year. The Canada Temperance Act, once accepted by a community, is the law of th: t com- munity for at least three years; and the term for Charlottetown will not be up until August, 1884. In the meantime, what is to be done ? Will nothing be done? oe oo Methodist Tnion. Tuoven the general feeling of the Methodist body is largely in favor of Union, and though it is admitted that the church itself will be greatly benefit- ed and strengthened, still there is also a strong current of feeling opposed to it, which will not allow itself to be silently passed by. A glance at the history of Methodism tor a few years back will remove to a large extent any objections which may have been raised against the the Basis of Union. The first Methodist union which took place in Canada, was one between the Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada, and the societies plauted by the Wesleyan Church of Great Britain. But this union, important as it was, and tending as it did to promote the interests of Methodism, and great as might have been its ultimate results, was unfortun- ately severed about the year 1841. For five years the Wesleyan Methodist Chureh was in a truly deplorable con- dition. It was apparent to al! that something had to be done. Accordingly, in 1846, a deputation was sent to England, to negotiate the restoration of the Union which had been disrupted. This deputa- tion was, happily, successful. A Basis of Union was agreed upon; and, in 1847. these two bodies were again | united. But at first the drawbacks were | many, one of the immediate effects being a loss of membership amounting to nearly one thousand members. however, the tide turned, and the bless- | ings of union began to be felt. From| that time, forward, the history of | Methodism in Canada is ore of marked | progress. In 1874, was consummated the great union of the Wesleyan Methodist | Church, the Eastern British American | Weslevan body, and the new Connexion | Church. Though there were fears then. as there are at the present time, in the minds of many with respect to the prac- | tical working of amalgamated | bodies, events have proved most con-| clusively that these fears were greund- less ; and we have no reason to doubt | but that the benefits covferred on the | Methodist deoomiuatious by former unions, will be as nothing ‘ compared Soon, these with those which may be expected from | the amalgamation soon to be comsum- mated, Concerning Appointments. Tue Examiner felt quite sure that the //erald would tone down considerably its remarks concerning the *‘ ostracism of Catholics from official life ;’ and in the last issue, we have the admission that a correspondent who praises its first article on the subject ‘“ places too much stress on the religious aspect of the No doubt of it. In the making of appointments stress should not be laid upon the religious aspect of the case, except for the purpose ot securing the Civil Service agaiust infidels, atheists, and mea of bad moral character. Neither should a mac be kept out of office nor appointed to office because he case is a Catholic or a Protestant. The |country demands fitness, and cares nothing at all about the religious views which an official may hold. The blunders committed by the Liberal-Con- servative Party in making official ap- , and almost inexplic- able as they have been, were not in this direction, as any one may see who takes the trouble to look over the list. While the Grits were lately in power, Catholics were, with a few favored ex- ceptions, debarred from office; and, should jealousies concerning ofliceholding or any other cause, unfortunately again divide Protestants from Catholics in the political field, they will again be debarr- ed. The unhappy time during which Catholics were under a disability in this Province should never be forgotten. pointments, gross Sisters of Mercy. Reverend Henry Ward Beecher in speak- ing of the recent death of a member of his congregation paid a touching tribute to the Sisters of Mercy. In describing the young man's last hours the Rev. Mr. Beecher said :—‘*He selected beforehand the hospi- tal to which he was to be taken,which is un- der the direction of those Christian Catholic women, the Sisters of Mercy, in Pittsburgh. And so when, staggering at last he lost step and fell utterly helpless and powerless, he was borne to the bosom of their sacred love. Soon after he entered the hospital Sister S@bastian, on whose head may the Lord lay his hand warm with blessings, kuowing him to be alone, and, faithful to herself, to her Saviour, and to him, sat down by his side and asked him after his spiritual welfare—whether he had been baptized, whether he had been educated in religious knowledge, whether he was _ prepared, should things go adversely,to meet his God, and she received answers very sweet and comforting in every respect. She took charge of him, and no care could have been more unremitting, more tender, patient, and long continuing than that was given to him. These Sisters let uie sag in the fulnessof thanksgiving to God, exemplify to us more than all creeds, dogmas, or organizations what it is to be Christian. They havegiven up the joy of founding for, themselves the household with embraci®? children around their knees that all the store of the mother- ly love might be given to the children that have no home and no household, and thus they have made themselves the ministering mothers ef salvation to unknown multitudes of people. It draws my heart verynear to them ; for I see so much of Christ in them that, though they would repel me they shall not. They are mine because they are Christ’s, and I waft to them with all my soul the blessings of God's love and my own profound thanksgiving,for that ministering care they have bestewed upon one of my flock.” ~.0r tne a Wheat Bran for Milch Cows. It is well known that phosphorus is an essential ingredient in the formation of bone, and, indeed, the bones are the princi- pal source of our supply of phosphorus Wheat bran is rich phosphoric acid. Wheat contains in the whole grain 82 per cent. of phosphoric acid, and corn only 3} per cent: but nearly the whole of the phosphoric acid of the grain exists in the husk or bran. Thus wheat bran contains nearly 20 per cent of this valuable sub- stance. What percentage is in the bran of corn we have no means of ascertaining, but it is certainly less rich in phosphoric acid than wheat bran. Rye bran is richer still than wheat bran, containing over 34 per cent. of phosphoric acid, which is a larger proportion than is contained in any other article for food for stock Wheat bran js also far richer in lime than corn, and is therefore a better food for poultry than the latter. If wheat bran is preserved free from damp or mould it will not deterior- ate in quality by keeping for any moderate length of time, a year for instance. Our dairy farmers and stock-raisers will see by this the value of brans for feeding pur- poses. ———_ << - ——-,- Bears are reported to be a glut on the market at Petiteodiac, N. B.
