When the crowd had left, Sir Leonard asked Mr. F. what he was} doing now. “I am doing nothing, Sir} Leonard, I am in’ disgrace.” ‘*Disyrace, | ‘tut!—don’t call me that, call me Sam as you used to—what is the trouble?’ He ;was section-boss and he had nwtice of sus- ‘pension, If there would be time and op- portanity for it he would like a private interview. “Come right up with me into ‘my room, Henry, I shall have no other time.” Seated in the private room said Sir Leonard, ‘‘Now, Henry, tell me all about it; what are you suspended for!” i**That is what | want to know; aU the satis- faction I got was the bare notice.” Well, said Sir Leonard, “I am goin to Charlotte- town and I will see the Superintendent.

He was otherwise a trustworthy, valuable Sir Leonard owes his rank and position as much te his heart as to his head. X. _———_— + ne Prohibition vs. License. (Correspondence of the Witness.) The Rev. D. Dorchester, D. D., of Bos- ton, Mass., an author of undoubted worth and fame, stated that in Massachusetts they had a checkered history. They entered this century undera hcense era. From 1780 te 1820 license law was greatly im- proved by stringent restrictions. From 1810 the law was more astringent than any he ever knew. It did not curb intemper- ance, but it vastly grew. In 1815. two and a half gallons of liquor were consumed per capita, and in 1825 seven and a half, There was one druukard to every 40 or 50 people. The oppression was so great that they groaned under it and tried to cast it off. Jn 1832 and 1833, the first ideas of prohibition began to prevail. Many of the ablest men in the New Eugland States de- clared that to sell liquor was seriously wrong, and that the licensing of whiskey was an impediment to the cause of temper- ance. The first form of prohib tion was in the form of refusing to give a license in the counties of the State. The next step was the enactment of a prohibitory law, which formed itself into the Maine law. In 1855 the Maine law was enacted, and remaived until 1860. That was the best time in the New England States for prohibiton. Then the war came, and the enforcement of the prohibitory law was neglected, After the war, when they tried again to enforce the law they met with great resistance, the love of drmk so grew upon the people. In 1867 and 1868 Governor Andrew opposed the prohibitory law and bent his great ability to repeal the law, and in the spring of 1868 went under the license law. An ap- peal came up to the Legislature the next winter, and the law was restored in 1869. In 1870 a free beer clause was enacted, and | peeple ? He followed lachieved the grander than any age. trated by the riots lately in Fowa City in enfereing the law in that State, when the prosecuting attorney and his witnesses were. mobbed and) beaten, tarred and We expect them to On the PERSONAL JJBERTY, he said if the State has a right to prohibit ‘a slaughterhouse because its existence in a ‘town or city is inimical to health, has not {the state aright to prohibit a grog-shep which destroys the bodies and souls of our This nineveenth century has grandest moral resultse— Uannrbalism has ceased ; polygaury has céaged over large ‘areas of the world ; duelling has nearly dis. appeared, Slavery in the United Siates, thateame Cown tous from the past cen- tury, has disappeared, not only im the United States, but in nearly every country on the face of the earth. Looking these facts in the face, who shall say that in the close of this century this gigantic liquor business will not be destreyed. In 1812,a ¢ertain divine preached a missionary ser- mon in New England, and he anggested to his audience to save some money from their grog bill to give to the foreign mis sion fand. He promised himself to save $3 out of his own grog bill. The average consumption of alcoholic liquors has de- creased in the United States in the last sixty years fifty per cent. What may we not expect in the next sixty years? Itis claimed there 1s an innate iove for liquor in the human constitution. If it is true there is this demand in the nature of the individual, then it is wrong to prohibit. But it ia not true. The argument is a fall- acy. If it is true then every one will have this desire, but many have it not, they hate it. Then the objection that liquor is needed for that reason falls to the ground, | Strmalation is needed by all, but this is a diff-rent thing from alcoholic stimulation If the need of liquor is natural as food, then God would have provided alcohol as he has provided food. Temperance is mod- eration in all things, some say. It depends upon circumstances. If the article used is poison, there can be -no moderation in its use. The early history of the temperance movement has demonstrated the modera- tion principle is an impossibility, Many of those societies were begun on the mod- eration principle, and they all died of drunkenness. It took 23 years to demon- strate this principle, but it was done. Dr. Bowditeh, of Boston, in 1872, propounded the use of wine and beer, as a preventive of drunkenness. Many of the best people in Boston put wine and beer on their tables and gave them te their children. It hrought disaster and ruin to many. fn February of this year Dr. Bowditch has PUBLICLY RECANTED that statement and promeunced wine and beer asa temperance measure an utter fraud. But we are told that *‘prohibition is @ failure.” If that were true, it does seem that they shuuld vote for it. Some say prohibition does not prohibit until it has put on entire stop to the sale of liquor aud drunkenness. Then education is a failure, and Christianity is a failure. It iz too much to expect thatin twoor three years it can put away the whole of the evil there are 80 many hinderances in the way Bat give it a fair chance and you will find it to cripple the liquor power as uo license ever did. Many ilinstrations were given of counties and towns in various parts of the country. Several places were men- tioned, as in Massachusetts, which have not grauted licenses for fifty years, and fewer paupers and criminals are found there than in any other towns of the same size under license. Maine, with all the drawbacks of its prohibitory law, is imtin- itely betser off than any licensed state. Laxity is germane to the principle of license, and enforcement to the principle of prohibition. The CONSTITUTION ALITY of prohibitory Jaw has never been declared against by any Government, either in the United States or any other country. He called attention to the breadth of this movement, declaring that immense areas in the United States are under local option prohibiuon. In Canada, South Africa, Australia, Van Diemen’s Land, and else where the work is spreading, Wherever the Anglo Saxon is found, there you find prohibition. It is fixed on the brain, on beer was sold with a great deal of whiskey mixed with it. Under thia drunkenness largely increased, and the cry rose up, ‘‘see the drunkenness how it increases.” LICENSES IN MASSACHUSETTS ARE A FAILURE. In towns which have 30 or 40 licenses you will find half as many that sell without. If there ever was a law that failed it is the license law. In Boston there are 2 600 licensed places avd 1,300 unlicensed. It isso in many other towns. In no case has license in New England lessened drunken- ness. He challenged any one te siy when and where the license system lessened drunkenness to any extent, and he has never been met. Goyernor Batler, in his inaugural message, talked about economics, but never meut oued the liguor problem. Pauperism increased in Massachusetts very rapidly under license. In some towns he mentioned it increased 472 per cent. while the population imcreased only 26 per cent. He spoke about high license as he found it in a city of Missouri, and was sur- prised to find that it did not lessen the number of saloons. In some cases the rich liqnor sellers helped the poor men to get them and so attach them as customers. [fn the city of Kansas there is about one seloon lto every 300 of a population, The city treasury got from licenses $250,000, and it coat the city $1,800,000 to collect it. So much wore bac the people to pay. License is opposed to the funtamental principles of the Anglo-Saxon brain. This brain is the ;braim of great moral ideas, the brain of 'great moral battles. This cause is the risiny cause, avd will be in the near future the finally winning cause. The man who plants his feet on the rock of right is the man who will win. ee oe It was expected that there would have been a cuuncil of chiefs at Caughnawaga, on the night of the 28h ult., to consider the notification of the Governor General in referesce to demand of the British Government for the services of fifty of the most experienced river men in the tribe for transport services in the Egyptian expe- dition, but ic did not take place, and the most enthusiastic of the Reds contented themselves with discussing the proposal. | From the opicion expressed it will appear ithat the men are not disposed to go to fight, bat only for navigation purposes. Should this be agreed upon, there are many who are ready to go ata moderate salary for about six months, but they do not desire to remain in Egypt longer than that \time, on account of the weather. Among isome of the tribes there isa little feeling of mistrust as to whether the proposal is genuine or not, but it is understood that the reserve will be visited by Lord Mel- gund or his substitute, when it is eapected that suitable terms of agreement will be made.
