"H the enforcement of a prohibitory liquor law may affect the revenue, or how the deficit may be made up, the consistent advocate of temper- ance legislation and a curtailment of the drinking evil is now face to face with the object for which be long de- sired. The fact that the pro- hibition movement has warm advo- cates and strong opponents on both sides of the house, must surely sever its connection with party politics, and give character to it as aquestion involving only the welfare and inter- nal peace of the community. The in- 'dividual voter may have no fear of personal danger ; the continuance of the present system may never afiect his financial or social standing. H18 character may be fixed and he may be proof_ against temptation, but the 1-1 nnnnnn kn influences. There seems to be no middle course. A plain ”yes” or “no"is the answer, and everyone, without coercion, should be expected to mark his ballot on the 29th of this month either one way or the other, but whatever way the vote may be cast, it should be done conscientious- ly and with a full assurance of hav- ing done our duty. There are wide differences of opin- ion, on all questions. There are pro- hibitionists and anti-prohibitionists, both of whom are conscientious in the views they hold. There are tem- perance people who are not prohibi- tionists, and advocates of prohibition who are not even temperate. Each has a right to exercise his franchise according to the dictates of his own conscience, or in accordance with his best judgment. If every one would just avail himself of the power at his command, and every one vote “yes” or “no” on the 29th the government then would know the expressed will of the majority and be in a position intelligently to legislate in accord- ance with the decision given by the Plebiscice vote. The Chronicle is not in a position to say whether the government in- tends to act on a simple majority or whether a majority of the Whole electorate will be required. The temperance people who expect tem- perance legislation to grow out of the decision given by the plebiscite must count on having an unquestioned ma.- jority of the Whole. In ordinary cases the decision is based on the ma- jority of votes cast. On this question there may be, and probably will be, a diflerent standard exacted. Those who do not vote will in all probability be counted amongst the anti-prohibitionsts. Those who re- main neutral or indifferent cannot excuse themselves on the ground of neutrality. The right of the fran- chise should be exercised by every one whether for or against the meas- ure, and then, and only then will the government know exactly the pep- ular will. But even should all cast their bal- lots for or against the prohibitory measure, the exact sentiment of the peOple will not then be eXpressed. A vast majority of the women would. if they had the power, throw their influence in with the temperance party and give an overwhelming im\- petus to the cause of temperance reform, and the necessity for legis- lationbe pressed home so forcibly that no government would dare to refuse. In a couple of weeks more the people will have spoken at the polls, but the agitation will not cease there. Strong men on both sides are diametrically opposite in the cause, and such will exist till the end of time. Strange too both sides quote Scripture in defence of their position. No matter how the public may feel Prohibition plebiscites have already been taken in four of the Ifgovinqes :bgtjfirib, Nova Scotia, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island. The vote was taken in Manitoba in Jply, 1892, in Prince Edward Island in December 1893, and Ontario and Nova Scotia. in 1894. In each in- stance the vote favored prohibition as follows: For Against Ontario . . . . ...... 192.49? 110,757 Nova. Soonia ..... .43 756 12,355 P. I.

The Empress Elinboth of Austria who was shying 3t Gone". m u- sassinated by an anarchist on Satur- day last. The assassin used for the dastardly act a sharpened three cornered file which he plunged into her breast entering her heart. The murderer was captured, and subject- ed toa rigid examination. In an- swer to the questions of the magis- trate it was learned that he came to Geneva with the intention of killing the Duke of Orleans but failing in his purpose, he determined on the assassination of the Austrian Em- press. He admitted being an anar- chist since he was thirteen years of age and committed the fell deed only “ for the sake of example.” The Mail and Empire editorially on Anarchism says the assassination of the Empress of Austria arouses the horror and indignation of the civilized world. It is difficult to un- derstand the blind fury with which the anarchists follow those in authority. * * * Her tragic death is due to the fierce and irration- a1 fanaticism that is one of the strange and paradoxical manifesta- tions of the enlightened and progres- sive century. Following as it does so closely up- on the attempt on the life of the young Queen Wilhelmina and upon that on the life of the Czar, it shows clearly that anarchism has still a terrible vitality. While the passion: it excites and the means it adopts are irrational, anarchism is by no means without its theories and its arguments. There is just enough of the appearance of philoSOphy about it to make it dangerous. It starts with a truth. If all men saw clearly what was their truest interests and were rightly disposed there would be no need for restraint or compulsion of any kind. The highest philosophy looks forward to this as an ideal state. The anarchist weds it to the questionable and ambiguous asser- tion that all men are born free and equal, which he interprets to mean equal and prepared for freedom. and concludes that all;that is necessary is ,to do away with the conventional i restraints that exist. The belief of anarchists cannot be more clearly stated than by an en- unciation of the creed which is given thus :â€"“ The liberty of man consists solely in this, that he obey the laws of nature, because he has himself recognized them as such, and not because they have been imposed upon him externally by any foreign will whatsoever, human or divine, collective or individual. In a word, we object to all legislation, all authority, and all influence, privileg- ed, patented, official, and legal, even when it has proceeded from universal sufferage, convinced that it must al- ways turn to the profit of a domina- ing and exploiting minority, against the interests of the immense majority ienslaved.” On Sunday last the City of New Westminster, B. (3., sufiereda severe loss by fire amounting in the aggreg- ate to three and a half million dollars. Every public building, Church, bus- iness place and many residences fell a prey to the devouring element. Among the buildings destroyed were the post office, city hall, court house,i two hotels. two banks, two news- papers, Masonic temple, three churches, the C. P. R. Station and. other places. An area of three quarters by half a mile, only a day or two ago containing buildings that the citizens were proud of, contains nothing now but a smouldering mass of ruins. Relief committies were organized at Victoria and several car loads of provisions, bedding, utensils and tents were sent by train iand tramway. About eleven hund- I .red are rendred homeless and many lare left destitute. The fire origin- ated in a steamer on the river and rapidly Spread to a warehouse, from which it spread onward favored by a Strong gale. THE nights are growing long once more and the evenings will soon be chilly and disagreeable. With many, no doubt, the fall and winter months will be turned to profitable account by reading suitable books, yet we fear there are still too many who will worse than waste their time in idleness and indulgence in frivolities,l if not in actual wickedness. The Med chanics’ Institute will furnish a com- fortable retreat for many, and sup- plied as it is with many magazines containing the choicest literature of the best writers, a young man. or a young woman either, has a magnifi' cent opportunity for self improve- ments. There are many also who not- withstanding our excellent school, 3whose primary education has been 'neglected, would do well to arrange for private instruction, say two or three nights a week. Think of it, try it, and with a little dilligent ap- plication the results will surprise you. 22; power to mane DHU uuuw .- p- â€" it lies with the manufacturers and yeomen of the county to. see that their efiorts are crowned “71th success by placing on exhibit the produce, goods and chattels in ° sion.

The Pres- byterian choir of this place also as- sisted on the program. The gale on Thursday last carried down the gable facing on Moore’s block, lodging it in the street.
