The vote on the provincial plebiscite on Monday should certainly gratify the most extreme prohibitionists. Vp to time of going to press about two- thirds of the municipalities hare been beard from some (00 odd out of 760 aud the majority so far is 68,000. This evidences a vote of nearly two to one in favor of prohibition. When returns are all in it is expected that the total majority for prohibition will amount to 100,000. Among the municipalities in this county, Osprey township stands high- est with a fraction over 80 per cent, of the total Tote in lavor of prohibi- tion. All wo are waiting for now is the report of the Prohibition Commission to discover whether or not the people of Ontario really want prohibition. The pwiple themselves say yes ! What will the Commission say ? Canada's foreign tra^e for the fiscal year 1893 is thu largest on record, being $247,tVJ4,000. compared with S241.309.000 in 1892. The exerts touched $118,019,000, the highest point in thu his'.oiy of the Dominion. Sir Samuel Itaker, the well-known traveller, died on Saturday. His name is familiar throughout the Eng. lish speaking wurM as tho author of two works ot Central Africa, where he explored the Albert Nyanza, ar.'l a fascinating description of wil-.i si'.irt.- in Ceylon and eastern Abyssinia. The body will be cremated nt \Vukini; England. The Kcvirw of Itcvievxfor Jannary is an excoedingly intctcating number to Canadian", lu it is given an excell- ent illustrated aiticle upon thn family of Lord Aberdeen, Canada's governor general. Many kind tliiiu's hav- l>rn written of Lord and Lady Aberdeen, and Mr. W. T. Stead, editor of thu English edition of this popular maga- zine, contributes largely to the*" cu- logiums in the article referred to. Tho following quotation with regard to Lord Aberdeen exhibits hin character in a graceful light: "Traditionally and personally a Protestant, he h8 always cultivated the most friendly terms with Catholics, aud one of the first aud most significant of his actions in tho Dominion of Cauadn was to overcome by a little kindly diplomacy the obstacles which have hitherto pi u- vented the friendly meeting of tie Governor-General and the Cardinal of Quebec. It way pass tho wit of nun to invont any way by whioli tho French Canadian and tho Ornji,-!' Protestant cnu be prevailed upon to recognize that each are brothers in Christ as well as subjects "f tho Queen. I r it could be done the Aberdceus are the people to do it."
