Some of the hotel men were in their element, others were better than their business. The tunic showed no sign of collaapse,but after all the boasted stridw of the temperance movement. more liquor was drunk in Canada last year‘- than ever before. In three years there had been an increase of 30 per cent. more than of any other for which the Last year’s liquor bill was $600,000 preacher had the figum. The 4th of December was to be Ontario's 15oWatenloo. The decision of the cqurt 15°.Iund put a. tremendous responsibility upon the people of the province. Did they want the open but outlawed and the young men saved from the _5° treating curse ? the liquor they buy with it. Add to that sum the 3,000 lives cut on‘. the 10 years by which the average duration of life was shortened in Canada by liquor, the two million bushels of grain destroyed, the in- stitutions such as jails, asylums, etc,, that were largely required for victims of alcohol at a cost of 70 millionsâ€"that made 110 millions that the traEc cost, and the coun- try got 8 millions out of it. It would be just as sensible for the toWn council to issue licenses per- 'mitting certain men to throw people into the river at $1 a head, that must be taken out again by the town at an expense of more than $13 each. That was the same sort of financial propositions as the li- quor traffic. The preacher had as 8; child admired the returning miner who, threw his gold into the sea to save the child from -..the sinking ship. It was argued against prohibition that it interfered with personal liberty. No. Not a. private habit but a public danger was aimed at. The law would let men have liquor In their cellags, live down there” and drink all they liked. The principle Was a good one at an; rate that the public good must be secured even at the price of private liberty. The quarntine and similar laws were examples of such legislation. A man could keep mad dogs and rattleâ€" snakes, obscene pictures and evil literature in his own place, but he must not inflict them on the public. Rob“ nson Crusoe could carry conâ€" cealed wearqns and store powder where he liked, but the people of Lindsay had no 811011 pexsonal llbel“ ty. So with the liquor traffic. when social liberty demands it, per- sonal liberty vis justly overthrown. The preacher said government had set the temperance poople m pher- culean taste, but be exhorted his 'Ihe preacher said set the temperance culean taste, but heaters to bury 901i The question or rerenue made some haitate. Gladstone Dwraeli, Tit-l ley, Cartwright, Rossâ€"these states- men and others declared that given a sober people the revenue would be all right Canada, got 8 millions of revenue, or $1. 45 per head. Would. any man refuse to pfiy that much to see the liquor abolished ? At any- rate the reVenue was only paid by the people, and to collect it was taking money from one pocket and putting it in another. Last year Canadians paid 40 millions for liquor -â€"15 millions more than'Was paid by the gomrnment as a bonus to the C. P. 12., about which the people made such a howl. The government might better throw that money into the river than have the people drink Even all good men were not 881'- eed on the prwent issue. With those who differed from Mr. Hender- son, he would not. quarrel. All were answerable to God. Some objected on the ground that the law could not be unforced. In the States 30,000,000 people in three states had been under prohibi- tion for 50 years. There were people who say the law was a fail- ure in Maine, yet three times the people of that state had endorsed the lawâ€"the last time three to one. They had fewer poor, bigger nav- ing's accounts, less crime and lower taxes, than any other state in the union. In the face of these facts how could any honest man say pro- hibition did not prohibit ? “ Rev. 0. W. lie-deno- Pruclm u the liquor Question â€"At the Queen-st church, Rev. A. J. H. Strike delivered his fourth address on the temperance question. He proved that liquor was condem- ned by the bibie, science and ex- perience.

Some fine views will be shown. â€"A large congregation heard RcV. G. W. Henderson preach on his an- nounced subject, "The Prohibition Issue.” ‘ LINDSAY, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 27th. I902. AMONG THE CHURCHES ”“5 From 1820 to 1840 the system or “1191‘ toll roads was largely in Vogue. hem Companies controlled the roads, by log-rolling of one kind and a serious reaction against the reâ€" form tendencies. IIe issued paper money and made copper coins, to the sum of £40,000. Kingston also issued paper money. This money worked very well. But these and other radical measures led to public meetings, at which the governor, Sir Francis Bond Reed was severely criticised for allowing these mea- sures ; and the development of muni- cipal reform Was seriously checked. In 1841 the first parliament of Canada passed an act dividing the country into sections, which should elect representatives to their coun- cils, presided over by wardens ap- pointed by the government. The government had to approve all the legislation of these first county coun- cils, and often exercised the veto power. These councils had a limit- ed control of the schools, jails, poor- houses, roads. bridges, harbors, watercourses and the like. With this measure began to real devel- opment of the local spirit, the pride of each in its own aflairs and a cer- tain rivalry between those to ex- wl. -- A j But the people Were not sausueu and meetings demanding further re- form Were held at York, Perth, Peterboro and the vicinity of Lind- say. In 1849 the Baldwin act cre- ated a new municipal system and one that has had only one impor- portant amendment and that. was the recent, act regarding highways, pas- sed in 1896. By the Baldwin act, township councils elected their own reeves, and the county councils their wardens ; later the reeves were elec- ted‘ by the people as now. The towns were separate from the gum! districts, but had a similar system. Until the Baldwin act town councils had elected the mayor, These were given more latitude 'in mm and wwding money than the rural canny McKenzie was the rust :1: Toronto. and his «acupgdcs ifiekie'eas ‘fixed at 4 pence on the ‘pound.- The market did not share in the funds, for itwas held that the country people got as much bene- fit from it as the town, and should pay their share. The assessors of those days were not allowed to value the property : the Jegislature fixed the value of the diflerent properties. A house of a certain size and with so may win- dOWs, was ‘set down at a certain figure; 80 with landâ€"items meadow arable or forest. The assessors simply took the descriptions and set the schedule figures after each prop- erty. Our municipal methods are, not so ‘very old. We think walks, and street lights, and trees Very common jthingis noW, but the first newspaper published in . Ontario came out in 1810 in Kingston. It was the Chroâ€" nicle-Gazette. In it a writer sugg- ested that the town should have some Walks. trees and lights. He was overwhelmed by another correcâ€" pondent who argued “that if amhody wanted walks he should build them for hintselfuis for treemthis man must be very fresh it he did not know that trees were .tln very things which settlers had had such a terr- ific time getting rid of; and that no lights were needed for every decent man should be at home by eight o-clock. That settled the matter in Kingston for some yars h A BEGINNIVIG In 1816. however. a. special act of the legislature gave the city the right to lay out some streets, put down some flagstonee and put up lights. Eight years later the law provided'for laying a specie} rate to raise not more than £300 tor local improvements. In 1827 the town got the right to enlarge its market. which had been hiilt in 1801. lforkâ€"now ‘. Toronto-e303. a similar privilege about the same time... Kingston was incorporated in :1837.

KINMOUNT llh Speech Idem the Oil-rill?“ In that Sm “ Early in this month at a meeting 0! the Union of Odord University llr. E. J. Kylie was a speaker. On his address the university papers make the lollowing comments : The Isis says : "Mr. E. J. Kylie (Baliol) was head and shoulders above his predecessors. ' i It was ., most serious and eloquent speech, and the house showed its apprecuion by constant applause throughout. Ir. Kylie is to be con- bretulated on the way in which he elevated the whole tone of the disâ€" cussion. " The Oxford Magazine says : _“Mr. E. J_ Kylie (Baliol), who made his first appearance on the paper, brought into the debate the carnatâ€" ness and the conviction which we had so for missed. We do not exaggerate when we say that Hr; Kylie's pane- g'yric of Oxford clothed in xigceous and classical English the sentiments which the average undergraduate feels, but which it is given only to a few to have courage to canteen; or the ability to express. His speech was noteworthy in all respects, most) of all because he dared to speak “hat was in his heart, and one had only to watch the house and listen to its applause to feel that after all, .epigrems and cynicism are not the only acceptable fare at the Union. A humorous comparison of Oxford with the ideals oi Plato enlivened a bril- liant and wholly admirable speech.”- ‘ “9 Oxford Varsity says : "Mr. E. J.

Hetcok m motion in a much broader sense thug the people before him, and eulcgised Oxiord andall that themin is in an eloquent hanmgue, the style of which merited the highest praise. Hr.- Kylie’s speech was all the more in- teresting and valuable, as he himself is 0. Canadian and known much of Universities of other types and ideals. The Toronto 'Varsity comments on the success of the distinguished grad. date of its Gouge as follows : "At a meeting of the Oxford Union on the night of November 6, Mr. E. J , Kylie, Baliol (Flamne scholar and B. A., ’01, Toronto University), spoke fourth in a debate on the resâ€" olution that : “Oxford education is obsolete."
