Legislative Assembly will, I trust,
prove satisfactory.
I notice with pleasure that you
have established a provincial park
at Rondeau, in the • western portion
of the Province. I do not doubt that
the future will furnish abundant,
evidence that in the establishment of
this and other parks you have elinced
forethought and prudence.
The act respecting mines and
mining lands and the acts for -im-
proving the .administration of justice
in the districts of Nipissing and Rainy •
River, for facilitating the administra-
tion of justice and for enabling
boardof' trade in cities to appoint
general arbitrators will tommend
themselves to the public as measures
of practical utility.
The acts consolidating and amend-
ing the drainage laws, mortgages
and sales of personal property, the
acts amending the Division Courts
Act and the municipal and assessment ,
laws, are further measures of public
importance.
I thank you for the liberal ap-
propriations which you have made
for the public service. The supplies
which you have granted will be
expended with care and in the public
interest.

TPAQUibition Question
110U1411 022'
Ottawa, May 7.—The prohibitiot
of the liquor traftte was brough
before the Houselo-day when Mr
Flint, of Yarmouth, N. 5,, moved
"That it is expedient that as speed.14
as possible this Parliament shank]
enact_ a law to prohibit the importa
manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors 111 Canada, except
for medicinal, manufacturing ant]
sacramental puiposes," In support
of this resolution, which is the official
motion of the Dominion Affiance, Mr,
Flint Bladell,' long and well -considered
speech. He admitted that the resolu-
tion was worded a little vaguely, -but
explained it by reminding be House
that it was made so purposely to
please the supporters of' Sir John
Tlionipson in View of the Premier's
declaration that nothing could be
clone in this direction this session,
He wanted it understood, however,
that the phrase "as speedily as pos-
sible" had reference only to practical
difficulties and not to any doubt as to
the ripeness of public opinion for
such; a measure. Public opinion has
traveled far and fast on this question
of prohibition. Mr. Flint recited the
history of the 'Progress of this move-
ment in Canada,, and then took up
the statistical and financial questions,
He showed. that no less than $40,000,-:
000 worth of liquor and beer was
consumed, in Canada annually. ,He
gave the 'capital invested in the
liquor business in Canada as $8,309,-
000 in the L92 breweries, and $7,054,-
000 in the eight distilleries in Canada.
The number ot employes was 2,243,
representing about 15,000 persons,
and theamount paid 111 wages about
$1,070,000. The value of the total
output ,of distilleries and breweries
was put down at $7,916,000. Whose
interests, Mr. Flint asked, should be
paramount—the 15,000 persons
whose support depended on this trade
or the 5,000,000 of the population ?
• .11, Dr. Room, who seconded Mr, Flint's
resolution, declared that the time had
come -When the House should pass a
law whereby prohibition might be
placed upon the -statute books, and
he said, further, that such a law
would satisfy the majority of the
people of Canada. The temperance
people did not think that such
legislation 'should be brought forward
during the present session, but they
might fairly call upon the Govern-
ment at "no distant day" to bring
forward's, prohibition bill for the ap-
proval of the House. As evidence
that public sentiment is ripe -for
prohibition he citeCl. the plebiscite
which has been taken 111 fivo Prov-
inces. Another plebiscite was not
necessary. If the temperance people
were true to their _cause they would
send to this House at the next election
men pledged to support prohibition.
If they did. this the Government
would be compelled, whoever might
be at the head of • it, to enact a
‘r, -prohibitory law.
Mr. Craig thought that, whether!
prohibition was enforced or not in
the United States, it could be in law-
abiding Canada. With reference to
compensation, his opinion was that
it would be only fair and just to give
compensation for the destruction of
long-established businesses, in which,
asense, the country had been in
partnership. Ile spoke to -night that
it might be known he was on the
side of temperance and against
Iiquor.jie proposed to support the
