Whether temper- ance means total prohibition, or the moderate and judicious use of all God’s creatures, is one of the vexed «questions at the present time, Near- ly every one believes in the judicious use of everything found in nature The anti-prohibitionists believe in Luv "II-O râ€"v' temperance, and not one in a thous- and of those engaged directly in the liquor trafic, or of those who drink intoxicants to excess, will bring dis- honor upon themselves by trying to Upholda condition which all right minded peOple look upon as the curse of any country. Over indulgence in anything is an injury, if not a positive sin. A per-, son may be, and often is, intemperate‘ in eating, intemperate in language, intemperate in his various avocations in life. intemperate in religion, and what seems to be the most anomol- one of all he may be intemperate in temperance itself. These ultra en- thusiasts mean well, but they lack the tact necessary to the fulfilment of their desires in impressing their views upon the public mind generally. lntcmperance in abusing any class of men engaged in a legalized traffic is more likely to increase antagonism than to win converts. Yet it muSt be admit-ted that such enthusiasts are to be found and with the results mentioned. If, therefore it can be demonstrat- ed that intemperance in anything is an evil. it seems but reasonable that the evil should be checked. But why, may be asked. should intemper- ance in the use of intoxicants be: singled out for positive prohibition? The proper use of alcohol. whatever that may be. is not condemned by any rational being, but how few there are who know when USE ends and ABUSE begins; besides the man who tampers with alcohol in any of its forms lays himSelf Open to become a victim to its treachery, and soon he is no longer a free man, but a slave to its pernicious influences. More over scientfic investigation, and ex- pert testimony have proved beyond a doubt the baneful physiological effect of alcohol upon the human system. It destroys the tissues, in- terferes with the vital organs, im- pairs the action of the heart, inflames the stomach, excites the brain, makes a pauper of its victim, and fills poor houses and jails with his wife and children. Herein lies sufficient reason for an earnest desire for its entire prohibition, not to mention its damaging influence in destroying the peace, happiness and comfort of the home, and the danger to which it. exposes society. The ante-prcbibitionists are very temperate in this campaign. So far they have no speakers in the field, but are doing quiet and eflectual work by the distribution of campaign l’teramre. Stacks of leaflets, con- taining the letters of Principal Grant are distributed from the bar rooms, an article by “Don” of Saturdayl Night, which appeared some time ago in that paper as well as Goldwin Smith’s articles and other campaign sheets dealing mostly with the revenue question are also being cir- culated freely. The absence of anti- prohibition campaign speakers is damaging to the temperance party inasmuch as many who are in sym- pathy with the movement will not appear at the polls. Opposition Speakers would create;a wholesome enthusiasm and rouse many from their present state of lethargy, in support of a cause, sanctioned by the people, sanctioned by the Church and upon which God’s blessing can be asked. THE CHRONICLE. There is avast difierence too in the motives by which the two op- posing parties are governed. The unis. use ectneted from selfishness while the sdvocetes of tempernnoe are impelled merely from humanit- arian desires for the betterment of the condition of their iellow beings. Qn Friday night but in the city of 0am“, It. Either (Liliana) and 3:. OWIOIII ”a W'IQHVO C. A. “ml- Terms. Foster, (Com) Ex-Finance Minister met on the same platform to discuss harmoniously the temperance queso tion and the plebiscite. Both are temperance men, both said amid ap- plause to the audience, “ If you want “rohibition vote for the plebiscite. plause to we auuwuw, “ prohibition vote for the p J VI. v: â€"_ _ lebiscite." Both gentlemen were a unit in con- demning the inaction, inac tivity and - â€"A-L-¢ ccokn damning the inaction, inactivity and apathy of the temperance party who seem to be willing to allow this grand opportunity of their lives to pass without the pronouncement of their opinion at the polls. Mr. Fisher said he was not prepared to say that the sale of liquors was a sin, yet in so many cases was the use attended with danger, the state was justified in prohibiting liquor altogether. He was satisfied that in nine cases out of ten the moderate use of liquor was injurious, though the changed conditions might necessitate increas- ed taxation from some other source. He would not say a new taxation be- cause whether the revenue was paid on liquor or something else the, people had to pay it. The drinker now pays taxes that would then fall upon all. He further said: it would mean a change in the incidence of taxation, but as well as a loss of revenue there would be a saving of eXpenditure. Besides this, large numbers of people now engaged in a harmful business would be turned into useful channels of industry. When he saw the Government strain- ing every effort to get more popula- ' tion, it seemed a mockery to say that those now engaged in the liquor traffic would have difficulty in find- ing useful occupation. So much for Mr. Fisher on the Liberal side of politics. Now for Mr. Foster’s opinion, who as Finance Minister for many years on the'Con- servative side should know something of the matter. After referring to the charges of sentimentality, and admitting that the temperance ques- tion is necessarily a sentimental one he goes on to show that it also is a practical question. “ There is no civilized country,” he says, “ that has not taken an attitude against the traffic to control or restrict. Ac- tion was, therefore, necessary and therefore would be taken.” He then pointed out that the basis of action was prohibition following on moral suasion. A man, he claimed, had a moral right to do what he pleased so long as he kept to himself, but when he associated himself with others he must act upon what was deemed to be for the general good of the whole. He again pointed out *that the license system was a partial prohibitory law, the only difference being that some were partial pl'Ohlb- itionists and some were total prohib- itionists. “If the majority vote for the plebiscite ” he said, “ all British , precedent goes to make it certain? that prohibition you will have ” and again he says, “Suppose we do not get any promise that a prohibitory law will be the sequence. I say it is your duty to vote. You cannot afford to do anything else. You are lchallenged by the Government to vote; you are asked to show up, and if you do not do so you will be asked to shut up.” On the question being raised as to the financial ability of the country to stand prohibition his answer is :â€"“ We can afford a thous- iand times over to have enforced pro- hibition. As to the question of revenue I will find you a finance minister who will raise the revenue. What are statesmen for but to carry ' out the well understood wishes of the pe0ple?” d \V. J. Hammond the murderer of his wife, Katie Tough, expiated his crime on F1iday morning last, whore hangman Radcliffe performed the ceremony required by the law. The hanging was private, only those? legally entitled to be present were, permitted to witness the scene. He, made a partial confession to Mr. Leith, his Spiritual adviser in which he stated, “ I am guilty in one sense but innocent in another.” The clergyman asked him if his sceptical views did him any good, in answer to Which he said “ Scepticism is not good to live by, and I would not want to die trusting in it. ” It is hinted that his spiritual condition was all right, but if murderers are .excluded from the Kingdom of Hea- iven, such teaching is dangerous to promulgate.

Strain, of this place, who is a member of the Red Cross with the United States’ troops at Manilla. Ed, graphically describes the pleasures and hardships of their voyage and the grand reception ac- corded them on their arrival by the President. soldiers and natives of the island. He had a shake of hands with President Dole and his wife and says they are being treated like lords every where they go. Mrs. Bates, Sr., of Toronto, form- erly of this place, visited Mrs. Gibson and other old frien_ds in_ town lass J., Captain of a Michigan company at the time of writing at Santiago. Capt. Bates says he left home with 82 men in his company. He de- scribes the hardships the men en- dured in the Southern clime and mourns the fact that he will return home with only 60 odd men to their families and friends. Thus, too, Flesherton boys have gone forth to duty for Uncle Sam in his time of conflict with the Cubans. week. Mrsv. Bates showed us a letter recently received {rem her son Robb. The Editor of the Flesherton Ad- vance has now in his large collection of curios a highly prized document which recently came into his posses- sion and which he gave us the pleas- ure of inspecting on Saturday last. The document is a Crown deed for 200 acres of land written on sheep- skin parchment dated 1812, signed by Wm. Jarvis after whom Jarvis street in Toronto is named. But that which lends Special value to the document is the signature of Sir Isaac Brock in his own hand. There is attached to the document a seal stamped on both sides which is made of wax and which is over half an inch in thickness and about four inches in diameter.
