The synod of Ottawa has protested against the ure of the commons' bar by outsiders, and with good' reason. The bar is for the accommodation of those wi cannot pass a few hours together on business without drinks, and it aggravates a situation that has prevailed when the men about town frequent it. The sentiment ¢ the country--which _ expresses it, spasmodically on the temperance sues- fion--foreed the commons to close its bar, and for a while those who had h {to wilt their whistles - at stated peri- iods found solace in 'the genate bar.

The Ottawa police magistrate advo- cates the the erection, in connection ' with the jail, of a homd for ineb- riates. Mr, O'Keefe is persuaded, fromy } a long experience, that imprisonment is not a cure for intemperance. A man may be arrested and locked up, : but largely as a protection to himself and his family. When under the influerte of liquor some men are liable to do rash things.; The Oftawa magistrate does not do it, but he could quote " the available statistics of our courts' "and penitentiaries, and prove from them that most of the crime is com: mitted by men who are intoxicated. " The advdntage of a home adjacent to or part of the jail is obvious, Men must be detained somewhere if they] are to be treated. scientifically and for a disease.

It seems that Rev. Dr. Bby, and Flowers r 30d Planta several 'other ministers," have been J ppd te all parts. { "conddcting an investigation into the moral of Toronto theatres recently." They have been going the rounds of certain places of amusement apd then ., comparing notes and impressions. It was the method of the late Dr, Tal- _ miwge to study things for himself. He went to the theatres, and even to the dives, and without revealing his iden- {tity '(for he was not geperally "re-' soars 6 con a theatre. The motions were wi pleasant and the music was nice. is easy to understand the fascination it would have for people who like that kind of a thisg. "] do not krow of anything that would be more of a blessing than a pure theatre. It would be easy to hing in pure thoughts and teach higher ideals. From what 1 d heard, the show at the Hoyal Alex- andra recently entitled "The Passing of the Third Floor Back,' was an elevating show. We ought 'to have more shows like that. I saw "Beverly of Graustark' at the - Grand recently, and it would not taint the purest girl. It was merely a very pleasant story. Nothing vulgar in it. "Plays that make light of sin and serious things do more harm than either the GRiyety or-the Star, Weak plays that throw a glamor over Ning 99 more harm than asuything else. Young people go and they can- not help carrying away the taint. "We are working in harmony with the morality department. They are doing good work up to a certain point, but rather in a routine, official way. They are not conducting an edu: cative campaign; merely looking for the wrong and suppressing it. "Ome of our men is out visiting the five-cont shows Lo see whether they have a good or a bad moral influence. After we have gathered all the infor- mation we can we will talk the mat- ter over and see what can be done, We are going to be as practionl as we can." There is a great deal of sound sense in Dr. Eby's talk. The theatres are not 'always bad. Some plays are elevating. Some musical events are delightfully entertaining. Some things are atrociously bad. The idea should be to taboo the vile, to put it down, Seen out of the city it should be branded and suppressed. That would be the way of putting it out of busi- hess. The people--or some people-- only gef what they want, and they can stand some alleged amusements that are very bad. Can they be edu- cated out of this business or taste? The effect is worth the trial. EDITORIAL NOTES. Aviators are débarred: from life and accident insurance.

FIRST ERIE STEAMBOAT. dm" Trip of "Walk-in-the-Water" in Sum- mer of 1818. The summer of 1818 was memorable in lake annals as marking the advent of the first steamboat on Laké Erie.

Leaving Buffalo August 23rd, 1818, on its maiden trip, the Walk-in- the Water was hauled thro A rapids at Black Rock by sixtlen yoke of oxen, its engines being insufficient to propel it aguinst the strong cur- rent.
