A GREAT OPPORTUNITY-
The refusal of the party that pro-
posed the plebiscite to be governed by
the voice of the plebiscite ,seems to
open up for the Conservative party in
Canadaa straight path tothe retrieval
of their il!-fortunes. It opens the
way_for that party, if they will, to
give the country prohibition. Let
Sir Charles Tapper, who is at heart,
we believe, a prohibitionist, take up
the cause of prohibition, and test the
opiziion of parliament on the question.
Let him move that it is the duty of
the government to obey the voice of
the majority. Would the members of
his"party stand by him if he did this!
If they would do so, we feel assured.
that with them he would obtain en-
ough’ additional support among the
the people at the polls. At the head
_Sir Charles would probably carry five
or six provinces out of the seven, and
_he in `a position to give the temperance
people what they desire. And ` how
could Sir Charles better round out his
distinguished career than by giving
Now, we frankly exjpress our fear
that Sir Charles will not take the
him if he should do so. But nonc
the less there is a great opportunity
for a leader of men to create
a powerful political diversion
at the coming session. Sir Wilfrid
and his colleagues have terribly dis-
_appointed and dissatisfied tens of
.thousands of their supporters. The
ministers have placed themselves in
the position of refusing the wishes of
the majority of the people, and prefer-
ring the will of the minority--a most

for alifetime to obtain a law sup-
pressive of the liquor traEic, are in no
mood to patiently have the legitimate
fruits of their victory at the polls
snatched from them. They are more-
ever earnestly desirous ` to obtain a
prohibitory law. They see by present
indications that the Liberal party,
largely controlled as it is by the one
province most hostile to prohibition,
will never give them the law they ask
for so long as the party is led and con-
.rolled as it isat present- They must
urn elsewhere And the would in
. . y
.ens of thousands rally to the standard
of any strong leader that would at
first ga-in the confidence of the tem-
perance electorate by raising the pro-
|' hibitory standard and the adoption
of prohibition principles.
They have everything to gain and
little tolose by doing this. The
leader and the party that now have the
courage to take up the policy that
Sir Wilfrid has rejected will have
the pathway to power clearly open
before them. They have more;
-they have the privilege of con-
ferring an unspeakable boon upon

which the present telegrapliic statistics
are usually compared, the number of
