was inspired and people induced to
invest their money in the fraudulent
enterprise. A New York paper tells
the story. Since 1872 it has been
known to the scientific world that sea
i forded a sort of scientific basis for the
fraud. The promoters claimed to
_have discovered a plan for extract
V ing the gold by means of electricity
y and quicksilver or mercury, but
the process was a secret. To induce
‘ capitalists to take stock in the enter-
[prise a. number of them were
_assembled at Providence with the
promise of seeing the process in actual
operation.

to await results" A diver, who has

POR PROHIBITION.
In some recent comments on tho
attitude of the party press toward pro-
hibition we fear that Tris GUARDIAN
did injustice to some of the political
journals. We are glad to find our
esteemed evening contemporary, the
Patriot speaking out squarely in favor
of prohibition as it had before sup-
ported the Scott Act. Says the
Patriot:
Our experience extends over a good
many. years, and in more than one
province. We have seen total prohibi-
tion in operation in the Nolhwest, and
we are convinced its effects were most
salutary, The workings of the Scott
Act, license laws and liquor regulation
acts have all come under cur observa-
tion, and we believe that total prohibi-
tion' is the best of all restrictive laws.
The Toronto Globe, a principal rx-
and in the Dominion at largZ,ha.s recent-
ly spoken with no uncertain sound in
favor of prohibition. We shall* be
most happy if we find other political
journals of either party taking f like
ground. Prohibition is not a party-
question and the plebiscite i»campaign
ought not tolbe turned to the advant-
age ordisadvantage of either.
But political journals are so
read that they can scarcely

which the entire electorate of Canada
is  called to vote. Why

sm --Your correspondent, _Church-
goer is falling more deeply into mental
confusion than ever. Why has he
written Tmr GUARDIAN to know the
names of the Trustees ot Stanhope
Cemetery. when it is well kno sn ther e
is one at home P
His communication is. entirely false,
as the Cemetery has recently been put
in order without Church-goer’s .time or
money, although both were promised
prior to the beginning ot the work. He
seems to be annoyed because, there will
be no crop ot buckwheat. fertilized by
the custo! his kindred. He is the last
manwe expected to hear .from in this
piiticu‘ar. Church-goer would not
give as much time to putting the
cemetery in order as he spent scrib-
bling his un'rulhIu1 ccmmunicwion to
