January i10, 1894 .4 NOBLE SENTIMENT!, That was a noble sentiment to which the Governer General gave utterance the ether evening at the banquet giv- eu by the Toronto Board of Trade. In responding to a toast tu which the health of Lord Aberdeen was drank, Efs Excellency referred to many in- teresting topics with which the prosper ity of Canada was bound up. But no imore timely note eould have been struck then that in Which the Gov, General, while payiug• a compliment to Ontario in geueral and to the city of Toronto in particular remaiked: eMay we not expect that the male body 'of the people of this province will not encourage but frown down any agency that savors of bigotry aud intolerance?" It is needless to say that His Excellen. ey's sentiment was applauded to the echo by the immense audience of both sexes with which the Pavilion was crowded. Let it be noted that Lord Aberdeen is a Scotchman by nationa1. ity,and. a Presbyterian in creed; and yet, with that cultured dignity and ahristain spirit of toleration and fair - mess for which "His Excellency is so distinguished, he could throw the oil of charity over the troubled waters of dissension by which some are unwisely raking; up the ashes of bye -gone cen. turies—in order to fan into a flame re ligious animosity and national discord by arraying, creed against race. It may be well just here to quote the words of a dieing uished predecessor of the present Gov. General, as quoted in the Earl of Aberdeen's speech,in which Lord Dufferin was heard to say on a public occasion, viz: "Divided as you are into various powerful religious communities, none of whom are entit etleto claim either pre-eminence or as- cendancy over the others, but each of which ieckons among its adherents. Enormous masses of population, what hope can you have of success except in mutual forbearance and generous liberaiity of sentiment?" We say, there. fore, that on the ground of a higher civilization, on the ground of public poliey, and. still more on the ground of Christain sentiment, the true method of securing, unity of action and perpet elating public peace throughout our rising :Dominion, is by acting upon the Golden Rule of "doing unto others what we would have others do unto us." temc-atateseamsraaramacciworso ONTARIO'S PLEBISCITE, The vote taken last week on the plebiscite for this proviir:e is what might have been expected from the persistent efforts put forth by the pro hibitionists, But large though it may appear, and much as it may gratify the advocates of total prohibition, it cannot be regarded in the light of a marked success. First of all, the pro- hibitionists were thoroughly organized and carried on a systematic, thorough canvass by means of platform and pul- pit demonstrations, aided by the ser- vices of paid Yankee orators brought over from the 'other side, for the occa- ion, who worked up their followers in- to a frenzy of excitement; while many who were opposed on principle to the prohibition movement abstained alto- gether from voting, taking little or no interest in the contest simply for the reason that it lacked finality. Under any circumstances the vote does not express a sufficieutly large proportion of the electorate to justify prohibitory legislation. Take, for instance, the city of Ottawa—where the total num- ber of persons entitled to vote was 11, 670; out of these only 2,8e7 votes were polled, in favor of prohibitiou, that less. than: 25 per cent of the whole elec- torate. Again—take the ease of Lon- don city, so far as the woman's vote is concerned. Erciotiorial appeals were made on the ground of the poor suffer ing women; and yet out of ION per- sons.entitled to vote on the women's ticket,, only 383 polled their votes and out of these some fifty were against prohibition. It is contended by com ?Omit authority that when all the re turns are brought in, it will be seen thet Ontario is not yet prepared for proll'fbitory. legislation. The same 'Would probably be affirmed: a ,fortiori in regard to some, at least, of the other lErovinces of the Doininion. What will Siir Oliver now say? Of corse he will Mime the onus of legislation en the federal government; arid should thee not feel justified in recommending arefri for prohibition, the wieked torieS veill come in for a heap of abuse, And weeds the plebiscite for many years te come.

There are 52 prisoners charged with murder in Colt county, Iit , jail, Lieut. M. McKeand, a son of the late James Mc.Keance of Hamilton, has just died in Montreal The idea -of giving municipalities a greeter latitude lu the meter of taxe- tioa is being urged in various quarters and hes been carried Into law in some Proyinees of the Dominion, with good results. The matter is being taken -up in, the Province of Ontario in an organized way. A form Of petition has be pre. pared, asking the Ontario Government for Local Option in Taxettion. A copy of this is being sent to every mate& panty, accompanied by a circular which sets forth reasonsee favor of the peti. tion. Following is au extract from the eircular: "We belieye there is a strong feeling amongst the people that a man ought not to have his taxes increased because he builds a house, or puts tip a barn, or plants an orchard, or tries in other ways to add to the wealth and prosper ity of the comity. 'Whilst on the one hand those who improve their farms are rewarded by Governmetnt prem- iums' on the other hand they are pun- ishedby en increase of taxation. "Let us profit by the experience of other British subjects in this matter." "The colouy of New Zealand has within the last few years greatly re. dueed taxation on building's and on other improvements; and the result • is, that the colony is now very prosperous having escaped the financial disasters which oyertook its neighbors the colon- ies ot Australia. "The law of Manitoba expressly for- bids the taxation of improvements on farms and gardens. The Manitoba farmers have found the benefit of this and would not go back to the old sys- tem on any account. The only peo- ple who object are the land specula- tors. "The ordinances of our Northwest Territories also forbid the taxation of buildings, improvements or personal property, in any municipality that so decides. "In British Columbia, all municipali- ties have the powers we are now ask- ing for. They have the option of re- lieving improvements partly or wholly from taxation; and many municipali- ties have availed themselves cf this power. So satisfactory has the meas lire proved to be, that the Legislature of British Columbia has gone farther, and last year passed an Act which pro- hibits any municipality from assessieg improvements at more than fifty cents on the doLar, whilst erovicling that the land must be assessed at its full Valltte. "We desire in conclusion to call your attention to the moderate character of the petition we are asking your Coun- cil to approve. It merely says that municipalities may have the option of relieving imprevements if they wish, S.:rely Ontario should have the liberty of trying a plan which has proved so successful elsewere."
