Those who have used Laxa-Liver Pills
my they have no equal for relieving and
caring Constipation, Sick Head-
e, Biltousnesa, Dyspepsta,
Goated Tongue, Foul Breath,
eart Burn, Water Braah of
aay disease or disorder of the stomach,
liver or bowels.
Mrs. George Williams, Fairfield Plains,
Ont., writes as follows: “As there are so
many other medicines offered for sale in
substitution for Laxa-Liver Pills I im par-
ticular to get the genuine, as they far aur-
pass anything else for regulatingthe bowels
and correcting stomach disorders."
Laxa-Liver Pills are purely vegetable;
neither gripe, weaken nor sicken, are easy
to take and prompt to act.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Somebody signing himself “True Tem-
perance" addresses Tm: GUARDIAN
through the columns of the Examiner and
complains that he receives no answer. If
“True Temperance" will send his inquiryto
Tun Guannxas accompanied byhis name
in confidence he willreceive attention and
not otherwise. The newspaper rule in re-
gard to °nonymous correspondence ought
by this time to be understood, at least
by all temperance men.
The matters in controversy with re-
gard to Mr. Wise‘s resignation of his seat
in the legislature are quest-ions of law and
fact which cannot besettled by newspaper
,controversy. We are at a loss to
know why Mr. Wise did not deliver or
send his resignation, duly authenticated
direct to the Speaker. Had he done this
we should know whether the Speaker is
at fault in not issuing his writ to _fill the
vacancy. If his resignation has not yet
taken effect we presume this course is
still open to Mr. \Vise. \Ve do not think
Mr. Wise was within his rights as ai. re-
presentative in submitting his resigna-
tion to the Premier coupled with the
conditions of which he speaks. i
Referring to the letter of Mr. John An-
derson, which appeors in another column
of this moi'ning’s GUARDIAN we do not
think it by any means remarkable that
there should be some differences 6f opinion
among honest tempcrance men as to the
best course to pursue. Apparently neither
party at Ottawa is prepared to give us
National Prohibition and we think it
therefore desirable that the Provinces
where temperance sentiment is strong
should do, as Manitoba is about to do, by
exercising such constitutional power as
they possess to de-lcgalisc the traffic. A
Provincial Prohibitory Law, in addition to
the direct restrictions it imposes will
have a. beneficial educative effect, not
only upon the Island electorate but be-
yond our Provincial borders.
It is to be observed that although many
fears to the contrary were expressed at
an earlier stage, the conduct of the native
races in South Africa has been excellent
In numbers they are about four to one
of the white population and many of them
belong to distinctly warlike tribes such
as the Zulus, Basutos and Ka.`fl'irs. It is
the first time that a prolonged war has
taken place in their midst and along their
borders in which they have not had a
share. l
Thousands of them would gladly have
fought on the British side had they' been
permitted to do so, and it is a. high tribute
L-o the good influences of British rule that
the native Africans have submitted to the
restraints imposed upon t-hem at a. time
of great temptation to share in the fight.

IHE El)Il0R’S MAIL.
The Last Year of the
Century.
SIR,-Only a. few days over eight months
remain in which to set all things in order
that belong to the expiring century, to the
end of giving it a. decent dismissal and to
save the coming century from the handi-
cap of on unfairly large burden of
arrearage. ~»
There has been a. rather curious mis-
apprehension in the minds of many people
as to the proper location of the year upon
which we entered some four months ago
and even in your valuable space, as well
as in other leading journals, there has
been a good deal of allusion to the year
ending December 31-1899 as the c osing
one of the nineteenth century.
But in my mind a. half minutes clear
thinking ought to be enough to re-
move all doubts or confusions. With
Dec. 31 we complete the year. That is to
say we round out ninety nine years of the
usual one hundred years thatare necessary
to complete a' full century. We must
give the nineteenth century the 365 days
belong to-its hundredth and final year be~
fore we begin one of the twentieth century.
For some reason or other the math-

Temperance Legislation.
Eniron Gnannxau.
In reply to a letter from the
Patriot - asking my opinion on
the following resolution passed at the
last meeting of the Provincial Alliance:
Resolved that we urge the enactment of
suchalawas shall prohibit the sale of
liquor in the city of Charlottetown. I
send the following reply.
Yours Truly,
J ous ANDERSON.
Enrron Parnior. '
Dear Sir,-Yours of the 19th inst re-
ceived -In reply I may say that I was
one of a committee of three on resolutions
and submitted the resolution referred to
No. 5, on behalf of that committee.-It
was framed to express ’tlhe views of the
Alliance in the main, without defininir an
exact line of action.
For my own opinion, whilst I
would like to see such legislation
passed as would be thoroughly effective in
suppressingthe sale of intoxicating liquors
in the city yet under the uncertainty
of the powers of our local legislature to
pass a local prohibitory law. I believe it
would be wiser to try and accomplish
our purpose by such form of legislations
as we are certain will stand the constitu-
tional test.

To enact a local prohibition law
would mean along and expensive course
through its law courts to prove its vaIl~
