matter to the electora for their opinion at a public meeting to be held at as early day this qnestion it one which should interest every resident ot acton u wall a many rouduig in the vicinity and tha meeting ahould consequently be largely attended the view held by those interest ed ahonld be presented at the meeting so that the council may have ground for act ing intelligently in the matter and in aceor- dance with the views ot the majority we have in the past said so much upon this abject that there now appears to us to be little more for ul to say different persons hold different opinions however and it would be interesting to all concerned to learn the views ot others with this ob ject in view we take pleasure in inviting correspondence upon the subject throogh the medium of thafaxr

the nirmberof new torkers risiting montreal last week the the xew york 8 says it is surmised that the great exodus of fashionable men and women to canada is only a new proof of the con- suhttygrowing hold which anglomsnia ha taken on our wealthy classes as an offset to the usual cry that prohi bition would injure business the following fact may be eta cd which is given on good authority in kansas the prohibitory law baa been in force nearly three years and in that time the taxable wealthof the state h been increased thirty million dollars the bitterness of the party warfare that is now going on in toronto is almost un paralleled even in canada where the inter ests of oar country have 60 often been sac- rinced to mere party ambition the col umns of abuse with which the party organs are filled are in themselves a great enough evil but this is supplemented by legal irritation and bitter parliamentary crimin- ation toronto new one ef the greatest if not perhaps the greatest of discoveries which mankind throughout tbe world have made during the last quarter of a century or so is the great benefit flowing from temperance it would seem as if the many scientific dis coveries and inventions which have taken place during that time have given all a much more exalted idea of life and that it was too precious to be wasted in the sottish drunken habits that once prevailed-
