In the face of corrupt politics and tha unprincipled tactics of profes- siona! politicians, the school rather than the pa. liamcnt must be looked to far a solution of the difliculy. Tem- perance and moral training, under existing political conditions, seems the only way at stamping out. or starving out the evils of the liquor trafiic. Public sentiment. today. no mater what. the vote may be, is in favor of temperance. The public don't want man whose tentimoniala Principal Grant’s attitude too, will ha a. strong impediment against the success of the temperance peOple in carrying the plebiscite. thing for years has so directly thwarted the efforts of temperance workers, in their desire to carry out a \vork for the benefit of their fellow beings, azul should the temperance 'party suffer defeat, Principal Grant will share the glory or the shame. accord- ing to the way of looking at it. Coupling with the plebiscite the question of direct taxation was an evident attempt to kill the measure. The separation of the two questions \\ as a reluctant concession, yet while the people will have the privilege of voting a straight "yes” or “no” the revenue cry will be used with telling efl'ect throughout the land. Though the Liberals alone are not the only members in the House who would rejoice in the defeat of the measure. the fact that the plebiscite was used as a plank in the party plat- form should make it an imperative duty to prosecute the measure for the benefit of the party whom they evidently intended to dupe. Mr. Laurier’s pro-election temper- ance cry was a cunningly devised mse to catch the temperance vote, but the sequel shows he had little in- tention of keeping his promise, and any concession he has made was wrung from from him by the pres- sure of a growing temperance senti- ment. ,, The submission of the Dominion plebiscite will likely be as fruitless i'i its results as all previous legisla- tion along temperance lines. Though t‘m Government is putting the meas- ure through. we have no assurance of any further probibitory action, even should the plebiscite result. in a public pronouncement in favor of prohibition. With the exception of the bom- bardment of Matanzas nothing ofa very startling nature has tranSpired in Cuban waters. The location of the Spanish fleet is a. puzzle to the American squadron, and until their defeat or victory, Admiral Sampson is unable to definitely outline his course of action. A despatch to the Toronto World says;â€"‘°-The inva- sion of Cuba depends upon the suc. cess or failure of Sampson’s plans. If the Spanish fleet is destroyeda large body of tr00ps will land in Cu- be by Sunday. It Sampson is unsuc- cessful the invasion will be deferred.” For his success at Manila, Commo- dore Dewey was raised to the post of Rear Admiral, and a bronze medal was ordered to be struck for each officer participating in the fight. The Cable connecting Manila and Hong Kong was cut by order of Com- modore Dewey on account of the re- fusal of the Spanish authorities to allow it to be used for the transmis- sion of the American war deSpatches. It,is reported that after seven hour’s fighting the Spanish fleet was completely destroyed, wnen Commo- before Manila. Sending a message to Governor-General Augusti, Com. modore Dewey announced the inaug- uration of a blockade and threatened the annihilation of every Spanish battery about Manila if a single shot was fired against his ships. In the battle fourteen Spanish vessels were destroyed. while only one American ship was slightly injured. Monday’s papers brought the first authentic report of Commodore Dew- ey’s brilliant and complete victory at Manila over the Spanish Fleet. It seems difiicult to believe that such a battle could be fought and won with. out the loss of an American soldier while 1200 are numbered amongst the Spanish killed and wounded. The battle was fought on Sunday, May 1, but owing to the cable being cut no authentic account was received at‘ Washington until a full week had passed. when on Sunday last the‘ long-looked~for. but Welcome mes-3 sage was cabled from Hong Kong.

The better class in the community frowns down the drink- ing custom. The cultivation of pub- lic sentiment and the purification of politics must, it seems, antedate any great measure of temperance re~ form. ORCHARD.

For some time he had been troubled “ith kidney and urinary diso1",de1 {and afte1 coming to the ‘village he gradually became \vo1se, though he had docto1edconside1able, and had used dilierent remedies and highly adsertised kidney pills. A neighbor pursuaded him to try Sloan’s Indian Tonic, but thinking it no better than the other remedies he had used, he hesitated for some time. but finally did so, and to its great merit he at? tributes his wondeil’ul return to; health. During his illness he would} be obliged to leave his bed several? times during the night to u1i11ate, but now he can sleep and enjoy ai night’s rest and his appearance is? that of a man many years short of the eighty and live he reallv is. andf the c1ed1t for it all he gives to Sloan’s Indian Tonic. which. he really belie- ves is all the proprietors claim it is. Six yea1s ago he married M13 l‘i ghe,‘ a most estimable lady, who Joins w ith Mr. Steele in praising the medicine. and together they axe Spending the. twilight of life in their comfortable residence on Brook street. l Until three years ago Mr. Steele resided on the farm, but an acute kidney trouble from which he sulfer- ed compelled him to give up his act- ive life, and he has since lived retir- ed. During a. visit to him the other day, he gave the Writer the follow- ing account of his illness: Mr. Steele has been twice married; to bless the first union came six childrenâ€"three daughters and three sonsâ€"five of whom are still living, the youngest son dying from the ef- fects of a kick from a young horse which he was preparing to take to the fall fair for exhibit. The other sons are now married and settled in the west, one in Dakota and the other in Manitoba. The daughters have all remained close to the scenes of their girlhood; Mrs. Rowe residing on the old homestead; Mrs. Dukes, wife of Geo. Dukes, who holds a respo11-, sible position with \V. A. McLean l 00., the packing firm olOwen Sound; and Mrs. Theakcr, wife of our own amiable grain buyer, John H. Thea- ker. l Mr. Steele and his family landed in New York and came by land and lake to this province, first settling in the neighborhood of what is now the prosperous town of Petert-oro’. Two years later he joined in the wave of western travel, moving from Peterboro’ to Hamilton, and thence. by stage to Owen Sound, settling on the land that is now known as the’ Steele farmâ€"-lots ‘28 and 29 on thel 18th con. of Arran townshipâ€"and set about hewing out a home for himself and family in what was then a dense forest, and how well he succeeded is known to all who know the old home- stead, for there is not to-day abetter or more handsome two hundred acres of land in the county of Bruce. in fact we doubt if there is in the whole area of Ontario. The subject of this article was born in Carriekshire in the lowlands of Auld Scotia. in 1813. At the age of forty he emigrated to Canada with his wife and family of two’ daughters. Those were not the days of palace steamers and Pullman railroad coach- es, bnt rather of slow sailing ships and slower stage coaches. Strong Enough for Cancers. Bmce’s U Sketch of his Life.
