f provincial secretary hardy has issued a circular ou scott act enforcement in which he says referring to inspectors that the enforcement of the canada temper- anee at is the single object for which they have been appointed and if that duty is neglected then the ground for their ap pointment ceases to exist in another paragraph the following is found f it is the duty of police and constables to aid in the enforcement of the law not only by rendering necessary assistance rto the officers charged with enforcing a particular law butalso by themselves prosecuting where an offence is brought to their know- ledge the canadians expect to travel from montreal to the pacific ocean in ninety hours they have paid heavily for their railroad across the continent the total ex penditure being

issno to the meeting of the dominion alliance at toronto last week the convention was oue of the finest ever held and was in every respect representative one ol the nlost importaw resolutions carried was the following moved byjetov mr chown and seconded by w h howiand t whereas neither existing party is pledged to the cause of prohibition of the liquor traffic and where as the timehas come when temperanoo men should take action untrammelled by political partisanship to secure the election of parliamentary representatives who will work for progressive legislation in reference toevery moral reform therefore resolved that this convention affirm its continued adherence to the decision of the alliance convention of september 1835 and recom mends the formation and vigorous practical operation of temperance electoral unions upon the basis then adopted and further recommends that we call upon temperance electors everywhere to withhold all pledges of political support to candidates until official declaration has been made uponthe temperance question by the respective party caucuses or conventions of the various ridings and we further strongly advise the temperance electorate to take steps to secure the nomination and election of a known and avowed prohibitionist for the bouse of commons and provincial legisla ture in every constituency where in any election neither candidate of the existing political parties satisfies the demand of a prohibition platform to be prepared by the executive committee of the dominion alli ance jisuohpratform to provide for united action on

act on the acknowledgment of the brewers themselves has borne especially heavy on the sale of beer we deem this fact a matter of special congratulation inasmuch as we believe it indicates a checking of the volume of in temperance at its usual point of inception notwithstanding the plausible theory that the use of beer is less pernicious than that pf ardent spirits that though not in sympathy with the license law yet believing that by special effort in the direction of enforcement of the prohibitory provisions of the existing license law in coanties not under the scott act we may be able to foster a general law- enforcement sentiment that would ultk mately be of immeasurable value we re commend our friends generally to put forth special efforts in this direction a deputatiph from the

and ade quate representation of their interests in our legislatures after a lively debate in the course of which mr lynch declared that the tem perance and labor vote united would be invincible and that this was the greatest opportunity organized labor in canadahad had for a generation the resolution was carried and the committee appointed mr odonoghnetseconded by mr has tings moved that in the
