Some mysterious legends hung up around the baseâ€" ment, purporting to be descriptive of parts of the hyman anatomy, set the company aâ€"guessing on numbered cards and proved an amusing scheme for a mixâ€"up of the sexes. Following this came ia programme of music, . vocal and instramental, interpersed with brief remarks from several genâ€" tlemen, and humorous sallies by the chairman, pastor Farqubharson. This oyer, & social time, with tea, coffee and cake served by a band of clever waiters, brought a zery pleasant evening to a close. Proceeds amountâ€" ed toabout $18.00, & In our Savings Department.

In your last issue you tell us that a number of our local men were ready to finance the concern, and haye it again aâ€"going at once, but can‘t succeed on account of some hitch in dealing with the council. You don‘t say, Mr Editor, that the council is at the bottom of the trouble or rathâ€" er at the head of it. But you come very near it and I don‘t blame vou Let every elector on the 6th of Janâ€" uary next for the sakeof ‘‘"one broad antipathy,"‘ with his trusty ballot, cast a stone at the head of the giant liquor traffic, and many a wife and child will eat their bread and cheese with more relish and in greater abunâ€" dance else I am sadly misinformed. it is recorded, was born of a father and mother, had brothers and sisters like another manâ€"they, no more than the sons of Jesse were used to eat each otherâ€"but, for the sake of one broad antipathy that kad existed from the beginning, David slung the stone cut off the giant‘s head, made a spoil of it, and after ate his cheeses alone, with the better appetite for all I can These facts taken from a public document, published on the 8th of September of this year give p1oof posâ€" itive that the license system is a failâ€" ure. . What we propose in its place is that the prohibitory clauses in the license act be retained, but that our license commissioners be prohibited from issuing any license in our town. This is proposed not because we have no fellow feeling with the license holders iu their present position, but because of a broad ground of opposiâ€" tion to the cause with which they have identified themselves, _ "Had the young David but sat first to dine on his cheeses with the Philistine he had soon discovered an abundance of common sympathies He of Gath, The Council and the Company |be maintained according to the terms |of their license and thus they have |neglected the very duty on condition of which their privilege to sell was |granted. Mr]J. R. L. Starr, who was commissioned last session by the Onâ€" tario goyernment to investigate the administration of the liquor license law in the city of Toronto, in his ofâ€" ficial report can hardly find words to express his horror and disgust at the way some of the hotels are kept, The testimonies he quotes are of the folâ€" lowing character ; ** The conditions arerascally," ‘‘some of them are not fit for human beings to live in," "I do not know how to express adequately the filth and abominable condition in which those hotels were,"" "" we were amazed and horrified," and so on adâ€" 4 nauseam,. Evidently these conditions are not because there is no money in the business, for Mr. Starr goes on to state that last year 47 tavern license transfers were applied for in the city at a sale price of $1,155,650,>0 or at an average price of $24,588.14 each, ‘"Every time," says Mr Starr, "that the license commissioners issue a license from their board direct to a licensee they make him a present of $24,000.‘‘ Through this monopoly in liquor, houses are ‘tied‘ in the interâ€" ests of the brewer and all are bound in an association for political purposes whose politics in every case is the inâ€" terests of the liquor men. Mr. Eprron.â€" ousiness in a respectable manner and in the interests of the public. _ This system with its prohibition of selling to all except those special!ly commisâ€" sioned, is our present license system. _ If you ask why Iam opposed to that system, which in its day was looked upon as the hope of the temâ€" perance people, I answer frankly that it is because the system, whatever it was at first, has outlived its usefulâ€" ness,. License holders, as a rule, have been more interested in filling their own coffers than in discharging a gublic service, they have defiantly outed the public in their demand E‘hat decency and respectability must By RrEv. Wa. FarQUuHArsox. The, license system and the prohiâ€" bitio? of the retail trade in spirituous liquors under local option, are both creations of the temperance sentiment of the community, Neaely two hunâ€" dred years ago according to Lecky, drinking habits became general among the common people of England Cheap drink and absolute liberty in selling it gave the opportunity of presentling it at every corner. Shameâ€" lessly the basest side of drinking was advertised in such faming signs as ; ‘‘A drunk for a penny, a dead drunk for two pence, and straw for nothing.‘‘ This state of affairs raised the cry that such disgraceful scenes must be stopped. To accomplish this end, laws were passed prohibiting the sale of drink by all except those permitâ€" ted to do so by a special license. The holder of the license was to give eviâ€" dence of his good character and the pledge that he would carry on the business in a respectable manner and Local Option and High License mss » PM6 inmere HECWDVIcK, Pollowing is the best g:ores gonda. made b;IRO;fl‘; VB':;:. of the various shots out of a possible 50: oronto Silver Plate Co, and a J.P.Telford 40 _ R.

Grass is quite freshened up and a month more like this would solve the feed problem., The campaign against the barâ€"400m and treating system is now on, we have left no doubt as to our own position on the question, but we hereâ€" with wish to announce that signed articles or contributions, of reasonable length bearing fairly on either side of the subject, will be admitted to our gtl)lnmm. We want all the light possiâ€" e, The Selitiom asking Durham Town Council to submit a byâ€"law in January to bring Local Option into force at the close of _ the _ present _ license term, were placed in the hands of the clerk last week The law requires that at least 25 per cent of the names on the list must be on the retiuons: this was readily secured for 158 being the miniâ€" mun, 193 names were on the papers, A few days ago, a fellow on the street t old me that the Durham counâ€" cil should be shot. I told him sir, that they are not what they should be but at the same time I thought the poor devils were deserying a better fate than that, Yours Now m{.deur sir, I would not have touched this matter at all had it not been for your remark about workmen and their families having to move to other parts. I felt as if % was pointed to on the street as one to blame for thai state of affairs and I though* I would just correct it and my correction is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Now, the next thing that I mean to tell is something that‘s more new sir, I don‘t think you have heard it yet perhaps it‘s not as true sir. At our next meeting it was again dished up but in adifferent form; one of the members of the council made & proposition, I suppose he was reâ€" quested to do so, by the local men or supposed com. you speak of stating terms and amount that they were willâ€" ing to pay for plant. It wasembodied in a resolution, put to the vote and carried unanimously, showing we are not a stumbling block in the way of disposing of that property, quite the reverse, so much that if we (}ust had the power we would take your local men by the nose and make them buy, But not having that power we will just have to wait patiently till someâ€" thing turns up. So much for No. 2 i If they intemrdoing anything they are a long time putting in an appearance, so long that I am afraid like Com, No. 1, they will turn out a bag of wind. An otzer for the property is what we never have had and should it go up in & chariot of fire, be turned upside down with earthquake or torn to pieces with cyclone after the explanation given, you and other sensible men like you, 1 think would not hold us responsible but would free us from all blame. We never were called together but the once to discuss this business and the night of the meetin: there were a good number in the halt with the Furniture Company pretty well repreâ€" sented. The meeting turned out a reFula.r fizzle. It was neither a counâ€" cil meeting nor a public one. _ A sort of a Bedlam, all talking at one time with the exception of your humble servant,. . Whether it was that he! could find nothing to say or whether it was that he had more sense than the others, I don‘t know but the result was he opened not his mouth nor even at this late hour could he tell you what they were all talki? about, I naturâ€" ally expected the Furniture men, the men who were instrumental in calliag the meeting, the men we intended doâ€" ing business with, would like the dove with the olive branch in ber neb, reâ€" turn again but no : the next day it was reported that MrCatton, and I suppose all the rest had gone away in disgust ; a very foolish thing for intelligent men under the circumstances to gl(]) + way in knowing as tbeex did that there was no meeting, failed for want of a quorum,.

The council bhad no doubt of the YÂ¥Aâ€" lidity of the petition, conlaining 193 namesâ€"ovet 30 above the 2 per centâ€" all on the last revised voeers‘ list, presented to the clerk * on or before the Ist of November," but on motion decided to adjourn the meeting till 18th November when there would be a fulâ€" ler council then to introduce thenecâ€" essary byâ€"law, Councillor Cochrane alone wished to proceed at once. Reeve Saunders was in thechair and courteâ€" ously allowed expressions of opinion from ratepayers present, those speakâ€" ing certainly fayoring councilior Cochâ€" rane‘s attitude, fearing as Rev. Mr. Newton put it, some hitch might occur to prevent a quorum, no local option man, and demanded that the petition be read name by name which was done. He claimed there was one name there without sanction, but Mr, Llioyd ‘was able to prove to the contrary, THE REVIEW, DURKHAM, ONT. The regular meeting was held on Monday evening with three members absent, the Mayor, A, McLachlan and T. Whelan. The council, though thus abbreviated, lacked nothing in interest and it is truth to say, that the audiâ€" ence, (ball almost filled) did not weary after the local option petition was‘preâ€" sented. The credit of this interest we suppose should be given to Councillor Swallow who, "speaking for the counâ€" cil" he clumed, poured hot shot at the council board as occasion suggesâ€" ted, He wished fair play tor the hotel keepers, assured tne audience he was Tell Your Neighbor ever shown this side of Toronto, Test this statement.
