April 27th, 1891. The Fenclon Falls Gazette. Friday. May 20th, 1892. Prohibitibn. In the House of Commons, on Mon day, there was a debate on a motion of Mr. John Charlton's to ascertain the state of public opinion on the prohibition question by referring it to the whole electorate at the polls, but the motion was finally withdrawn at the request of Mr. Laurier.. it being thought best to take no further action until the report We. make it a point to have everything in the Millinery of the royal commission appointed last line that may be asked for, and to have a stock sufficient for all demands, and to maintain that stock complete throughout the season. Soliciting the favor of an early call from you, we assure you that it will be a pleasure to us to make it to your interest to give us a liberal share of your patronage. Mrs. R.

Experience has shown that local prohibition does not work very satisfactorily, as intoxi- cants can always be smuggled into the districts in which it is in force; but. there will be very little difficulty in enforcing it if a majority of the poop] v of the whole Dominion vote for it. Sir John Thompson, in the course of his reply to Mr. Charltrn, said he “objected to have referred to the people questions as to how the country should be govern- ed "; which is exuccly the sentiment of every dyed-in~tlie-wool Tory who bu-lieves that " the masses are born sulltllcd and bridlcd, and the favored few are born booted and spurred to ride them." Mr. Charlton’s motion and his remarks in its support were as follows : “That the state of public opinion upon the question of the prohibition of the manufacture, importation and sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes should be. ascertained by a ref- erence of the question to the electors of Canada at the polls." There had been an indispcsition on the part of the mem- bers, he said, to face the question of prohibition squarely. Various Parlia- mentary expedients have been devised for shunting it, so that they would not have to vote fairly upon it. There had been two royal commissions appointed, the first in 1854, the other last session, and these commissions had not been pro- ductive of good. Petitions had flamed in from the people asking for prohibition last session, and it was thought the Honsc would face the question, but it had appointed a second commission, and they were now waiting for its report The people had never been given an op- portunity to vote upon the question; it had always been 'mixed up with other issues. The repeal of the Scott Act in the various counties where it had been adopted was not an evidence of a rcvul- sion of feeling, but SllOWutl only that the people were disgusted with this Gov- ernment for not providing for its enforce- meut. Prohibition in this, as in all other countries, Would be a useless piece of legislation without. a preponderating tic could not be restricted except by pro- hibitiun of the mannlactnrc and sale of liquor. He did not consider it necessary to wait for the report of that partial Commission, which had been appointed simply to shunt the question without tak- ing notion. The people, he said. were the. best royal commission. R:fcr the ques- tion to them, and, having heard their decision, then the Government would be in a. position to know what its duty was. * * * If the [louse was to pass temperance legislation, the first provision was to find if the public senti- ment would secure its enforcement: if the state of public sentiment was not sufficient for that it Would be folly to pass an act. " An Equine Procession. Last Tuesday evening four men or. rived at the Falls with a brood man and twelve colts from one to three years old, the property of Mr. C. J. Smith, of Toronto, who recently sold the ranch two miles north of Kiomount on which they were raised. All the animals have considerable “ blue blood " in their veins, and’ one of them, a three years old stallion by Superior, is going to Philadelphia. Superior was formerly owned by Mr. Kcnney, V. S., of Lind say, where the horse was not, we hear. much thought of; but he Was good enough to be taken to New York, and his fee in that city is now 3100. After resting and fteding they left in the order in which they came, three men leading the brood mare and two stalli ms and the fourth man bringing up the rear, and went as far as Mr. John Simpson's at Cameron, where they pissed the night, and to-morrow the. whole “string,” with the exception of the Superior colt, will be sold by auction at Simpson’s hotel in Lindsay. We have not heard what induced Mr. Smith to give up horse brooding, which with the facilities he possessed ought to be fairly profitable, but we have very little doubt that tho McKinley tariff had a good deal to do with it. Powles’s Corners. Correspondence of the Gazette. There is great joy and gladness over the advent of a baby boy at the home on the cast half of lot 15in the 8th cou- cession. Mr. Geo. Glnspell, son of Mr. E. W. Glaspcll, and his dog had a terrible John L. Sullivan fight with an otter a short time ago. The otter came out best and got away into drowned land on the shore of Sturgeon Lake. Mr. Thos. Gillis was awarded the contract for the drawing of milk to Mr. F. Sandford’s factory, and the first trip was made on Monday, the 16th. We wish all parties concerned in the busi- ness a prosperous season in every partic- ular. Mr. B. H. Maybce, our worthy and popular teacher, has several candidates for the entrance and 3rd class examina- tions, which will be held next July. We expect to see Mr. Maybec roll up more honors to himself and the section than he has done in the past. Personals. Mr. and Mrs. W. K Dick, of Winni peg, left for home last Friday, after a ~ ten days' visit to their daughter, Mrs. John A Ellis. Mr. Dick, who was the first reeve of the township of Fenclon, is a. hearty, active man in spite of his ‘71 years, and has prospered exceedingly since he went to Manitoba nearly 20 years ago. The Rev. D. N. McCamus and Mr. Joseph .‘Iclt‘arland attended the meeting of the Lindsay District of the Methodist Church on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Mrs. Kains arrived here from Van- couvcr last Friday to spend some time with her old friends, and is at present the guest of Mrs Cunningham. Mr. W. W. Jet‘lnyu, formerly a clerk dull. and we are consequently hard up.

RUNAW:\Y.â€"â€"L't8t Saturday morning,. Mr. 8; Mrs. Christopher Full, of Senior- ville, drove to the Falls, and the horse was in such a hurry to visit their daugh- ter, Mrs. John Wallace, who lives on Bond street. that he started off alone while the old folks were in Mr. llcard's store. Whether he got frightened or was only in a Very crest hurry indeed, we do not know ; but he soon broke into a run, and. aithough be rescued his destination without doing any harm to himself or the vehic'e, the road for at considerable distance was strcwcd with butter. eggs, straw hats and other articles with which the buggy was loaded. COLLISION.â€"â€"Mr. Charlm Burgoyne, on his bicycle. and Mr. J J. Power, on his feet, collided about 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning, opposite Mr. Robs son's implement shed. Just as Charley â€"â€"who had sounded his gong two or three times and was riding slowly~â€"-.wan passing, Mir. Power, who was standimr' on the sidewalk with his face towards the shed, stepped backward, and one of the pedals of the ’cycle struck his log on the calf, causing him to fall against the machine, which was of course upset, as J. J. weighs about 230 lbs. When he arose there was it slight bruise. which some say \van't a new one, on his face; and the back of one of Mr. Burgoyne's- bands was somewhat scraped. Sranaows vs. MARTINS.â€"â€"Evcr since about the 15th of last month an amusing fight has been going on between sparrows and martins for possession of the rooms in a little house on a pole a few feet from our office windmv. For twenty years past the martins have been here on or before the 17th of April, but this year, on account of the cold weather, they did not come to stay until near tho end of the month, by which time the house was full of sparrows ; and, as they had commenced to make nests, and some of them probably had laid eggs, they declined to vacate the premises when the tnartins arrived, and a furious war, in which the sparrows appear to have nearly gained the victory, was the result. Tun Mumsâ€"Ellie's new will would have been'in operation some time ago if the machinery had been received when expected; but the last of it was shipped from Bellcviflc on Toesday, and will, no doubt, arrive this week (if it is not here already), and the mill will be ready for work by the lst of June at the very latcst......Thc Pulp Co's mill has been busy for some time past; but, so far, its chief product has been shin~ glcs, of which large quantities have been turned out......’l‘hc old mill owned by the Smith estate has been cmpticd of its machinery, which was taken out this week by Mr. John Thompson and a number of assistants and stored in the rod mill south of the river, in order to relieve the floors of the old building of the strain.
