MINORITY REPORT. REV DR. MCLEOD'S FINDING ON THE PROHIBITION QUESTION. OTTAWA, April 25.—The minority report presented by Rev. Dr. Mc- Leod, one of the five commissioners appointed to inquire into the liquor traffic and the question of prohibition, is an exhaustive affair. I -le says, in discussing the effect of the liquor traffic upon all leterests affected by it :—“There is no room for differences of opinion in regard to the fact that intemperance and its inevitable train of harmful consequences constitute one,of the most formidable evils that afflict society, diminish the wealth of the country and impede the progress of civilization. The fact is univers- ally adiuitted, regarding it the commission did not decni it necessary to prosecute extensive. inquiry. in Caifada, as in other lands, intemper- ance is the prolific cause of pauper- ism, disease, insanity, idiocy, exces engendered by strong drink is also ' countries do not justify the encouage- very fully set forth and sustained by , ment of beer andwine. extracts from the evidence.
