P: The Watchman-Wilmer THURSDAY AUGUST 10th,1899 IN this issue we publish a letter written by Dr Herriman, in which he discusses our remark of some time ago that if the temperance people had voted and made the plebiscite verdict favor of prohibition read 63 per cent. 1nstead of 23 per cent of the elector te, the government would] proba’ily have brought in a prohibitory i measure The doctor’s contention liesl not so much against this fact as stated by us, as against the artion of the government in refusing to heed a majority, because the vote was not large enough. He explains that _no word of the premier before the vote led the temperance people to think the plrbis ite wiiu‘d be estimated in any such way. There is a great deal of strength in his position and in pro. portion as 'here is this strength, will the whole performance prove a weakness to the Liberals at the next election.

When the concern happens to be the c0untry in which a man lives he is all the more of that opinion. The government of a Pro- gressive country ought to find it ne- cessary to make large expenditures. If it does not it is time to select a new government No wise man will set penurious limits to the finances of his nation. The cry for economy .is often nothing more than the voice of political bigotry. In Canada every enterprise that has ministered to prosperity has been undertaken amid the protests of the party out of power. Even With these things in mind it is not possible to regard the enormous estimates of the Laurier government without apprehension. They have reached such proportions that protest is imperative. It is imperative not lor any political purpose Or on political grounds, but because they have reached the border of impossibility. Sixty millions a year is more money than five millions of people are able to con- tribute to the national revenue. On strictl‘y business principles there must be a change ; for the country, however willing, ‘imply cannot ci-ntinue to pay that sum. Ten _dollars per head for children and al , is :1 tax that will soon bringv poverty to nearly every home. Without any narrow objectiots'to the expenditures of the Laurier govern- ment everyone must feel that a burden has been laid upon the people of Canada that threatens them with ruin. Under such perils the spirit of self- preservation in every thoughtful man will compel him to use his franchise to protect himself against a government whose policy, however statesmanlike. is working his financ a1 downfall. This consideration will drive many voters to unwillingly oppose their party at the next election.

John W. Anderson, formerly a junior in the bank. Was arrested at 4.30 last evening charged with being the robber. Whether or not he had an accomplice is a mystery, but he had to get through three combinations and a lock somehow. and he got there most successfully. The theory that the robbery was the work of someone in the bank has at last finally been confirmed. It is said that the money Was found buried, and the location Was discovered as a result cf detective work done by a man named Davis, a young fellow who claims to hail from Chicago, and who says he is connected with a private detective agency in the States, and who did some work in connection with the .famous Holmes murder cases. Davis has been advised by his solicitors to keep mum until the trial, and he follows‘ in- Working Sinca January. Davis came here about January last, and for a. couple of months did not; find much clue. but about March he became structions. suspicious of Anderson. Immediately atter the robbery Anderson left the bank's employ, the inspector saying that there were no prospects of salaries being raised on account of the loss in the rob- bery, and Anderson. on the plea that he could not live on his salary, went to work for the McClary Company, and was employed there when arrested yester- day atternoon. He took the arrest coolly and ate a hearty supper at the jail. How the Detective Worked. Davis, it seems, after suspecting Ander- son, went to work in Jerry Robinson's drygoods store as a fancy window dresser, and was apparently an ordinary drygoods Clerk. He ingratiatcd himself into Ander- son's good graces, and the supposition is that he lead Anderson up to the point of saying where the money was on the understanding that they Were to engage in some enterprise together. Anderson knew he had been shndOWed by detectives immediately after the robbery, and had Lriven more than one detective a long MU a-v V'I'u uvv w__-_o V V umuv, H. W.

Was notified by wire last night of the arrest of the alleged culprit. Winnipeg Police Out of It. The police here were not made aware of the developments, and the arrest was effected by the Provincial Department. Anderson is 24 years of age and single. The detective is a young fellow about :36. And-non From Hastings. Out. The expectation is that Anderson will come before the court to-day. Late last night he was very chatty and seemed in excellent spirits. Anderson came here from Hastings, Ont. The tire-arranged plan with the bank seems to have been to keep particulars:as quiet as possible, so as to not interfcre with the evidence in any way. There is a suspicion that Anderson had accomplices. (\‘vnlk into the country, but just for amuse- ment‘s sake and having a. laugh at the expense of the "eye that never sleeps.” noLooo Reward. The reward for recovery of the money is $10,000. The bank was 115 up last night, and Manager Colo Was in his oflice, but he was not talkingto anybody. Anderson "as Con (cued.

His winnings to date are as follows: â€"London, free-for-all. second niace; Stratford, first; Durham. first; Orangeville, first; Winpr ham, first: Perth. first. This isacspital showing. Out of six starts he has won five first monies and one second. At Perth he lowered the Canadian half-mile tracd recovd to 2.13.}. May good luck follow him. but it is hardly to be expected that he should continue such a high average of wins throughout the sesson. It is not the road we travel. but the pace that kills.
