Where does 'fhe i¥ Whig now stand with regard to the v " 9 E 'temperance question ? . The Whig was not rushed into the position it took in the recent election. Long before the dissolution of the legislature Mr. Rowell consulted the leaders of the party and the editors of many liber al papers, and they approved of the advanced step which he took in par- liamgnt. They agreed that the bar was a menace to the welfare of the people and ought to go.

It is not quite clear to the «Whig how Mr. Macdonnell's private mem- oranda, made during the prison in- vestigation, passed into the govern- com- his { » ment records and came to be quoted and commented upon by Dr. Fd- wards. It is a unique experience, ~~ however, and more illuminating than ars at be wd "tification when these personal affairs | we to some people it appears tobe. The government of the day, or parlia- t itself, is not concerned with the 1 affairs of Mr. Macdonnell, and one can well understand ' his mor- became the subject of parliamentary Criticism. "The real merit of Mr.. Macdonnell's diary lies in the care 4, lulness with which he penned all his | have upon his life and character. that every man was similarly mi and similarly disposed to commit to paper, indelibly, the 'acts of each day. What"a marked efiect it would It is suggested that Dr. Edwards imi- tate Mr. Macdonnell in keepitg a tab upon his public and private acts for a specific period, for the good that it may do.

Philadelphia Record But there is no question whatever that it is too late in the world's his- tory for any man to drink freely, and all employers, commercial and gov- ernmental, are increasingly opposed to men who drink at all. Several shifis in the British~fiavy are "dry" and there is some expectations of a general order to that effect. All alco- holic drinks have been barred from the Norwegian navy. The kaiser is not drinking anything now and has commenced total abstinence to the naval cadets, telling them that the next war would be won by the na- tion which drank the least. The czar is discouraging the use of lianors a- !mong officers, and the Russian war i ministry is trying to check the use of jvodky. In France and Germany many scientists and government officials, civil and military, are devoting their influence and examples to total ab- stinence. was it is have { Why Not a Purge? Advertiser Has anyone a right to belong to a temperance society who voted for Whitney and whiskey? The exit, or expulsion of conservative, partisans from temperance leagues might res- tore the credit of the latter for some- thing like sincerity. Genuine temper- ance men cannot allow themeslves to be laughed to scorn for keeping such company. The temperance society have fiil- ed in any attempt to constitute a po- litical party of their own, and they have made "the great refusal" of the one political leader himself io fight their battle.
