Sir Oliver Mowat gladdened the hearts of 1500 delegates and fivu times as many thousand people throughout Ontario, on Tuesday of last week iu the pavilion at Toronto, by making the following emphatic statement : "If the decision ol the Privy Council should be that the province' has the jurisdiction to pass a prohibitory liquor law as respects the sale of intoxicating liquors, I will introduce such a bill iu the following session if I am at the In ,i>l of the Government. If the de- cision of tuc privy Council is that the province has jurisdiction to pasa only i partial prohibitory law, I will intro- duce such a prohibitory bill as the de- cision will warrant, unless the partial prohibitory power is so limited as to be ineffective from a temperance standpoint. " There are few people throughout the province who would impute insincerity on the part of Premier Mowat in mak- ing this promise, but there are many who think he might have read quite clearly the signs of the times and made a plain statement like the above long before he did, and without going to the expense of taking a plebiscite. We give him credit for only so ruiich of his resolve as has not been forced npon him by the temperance party, which, when analyzed, will be foaud Hummed up in a 0. Any party arriv- ing at power under present circum. Htunces would exert themselves to satisfy the demand made upou the preHCut adiniuititralion. A decision was ^ivuii lat week in c.i of the Manitoba school set, which hah been under adjudication B) long.
