SIa,--People in the Province of On- tario find themselves that they aro prob ably the most civilized people on earth. Civilization and personal liberty are so nearly allied and to be insenuable. We say that the Turks are not civilized because they persecute the Armenians for being Christians instead of Mahom medans. The Turksare intolerant of Christain opinion They do not believe in it and consequently persecute it. And for that intolerance and persecution we call them uncivilized. Applying the same process of reasoning to this fair Dominion, let us see how our own civil- ization stands. If intolerance is the bane of civilization let us consider the specific amount of intolerance in Can- ada aud judge of our civilization by the gross results. This eouutry just now appears to be run by prohibitionists, The Lord's Day Alliance and 'he \V C.T,U. These or- ganizations spend their time in shreik• ing for lersanal freedom in Turkey aud Asia, and freedom to curtail other people's liberty in Canada. Tho scuds of reputable, decent citi zens, male and female, see no harms in tiding on a street car, or doing any- thing, or taking any pleasure on Sun- day that they consider right on other days. Hundreds of thousands of good people use alcohol without any pangs of conscience Yet all those people aro to have their private opinion set at naught and be persecuted because a majority opinion is intolerant, and he cause the majority have the power and claim the right to do as they like. The majority of Turks are Mahom medans. They claim the right by majority to curtail the rights of• a minority. The minority in this case is Christian. Pulpiteers and orators clamor for personal liberty in Turkey and coercion in Canada, both in the same breath and see no inconsistency in it. How the mental stultification occurs has ever been a mystery to me. Majorities always claim they are, right so far as their own majority extends, but that most other majorities are wrong. Our land is filled to day with orators and literature, demanding legislation to coerce private aetion and private opinion. If personal liberty and civilization go hand in hand, then Canada cannot boast much of its civili- zation at present and Iessee the future if all the schemes for the curtailment of liberty now so strenuously advocated finally pass into laws. Those who bow at the shriue of liberty and those who bow at any other shrine should have equal rights. No compul sion should be used in any case where the natural rights of man are concerned. With the question of civil rights the state cannot but interfere. Theo, all are equal, but no state has any right to interfere on a question of moral or re- ligion. Then. also al! should bre equal aud have the privilege of private opin- ion and private action. Yours Truly A Boom for Goderich. Goderich, April 17th.-Menezetung Park, adjoining Goderieh, which has been selected by the International Teachers' Association of Eureka Springs. Arkansas, is being prepared for the re- ception of guests, Miss Ellen Kimbar, 'Vice -President of the Association, has arrived, and is much pleased with the progress made.

Simcoe, Ont., April 20th. -Hypnotist Ferris, who yesterday put to sleep one of the members of his troup, and then had him buried in the earth six feet deep, intending to revive him after three days, refused to dig him up again notwithstanding that the sheriff threat- ened to arrest the professor. The Crown -Attorney, not being able to find any law relating to the ease, the mat ter was referred to Chief Justice Arm- our who is holding court here. FIe, however could not see his way clear to interfere. Consequently it has been de- cided to allow the matter to drop. Great ='*retest is being taken hare iu the experiment, and some anxiety is felt as to the outcome. Both Killed. South Lyon, Mich , April 20.-A train on the Detroit, Grand Rapids and Wes- tern Railway struck a vehicle instant ly killing Barry Clark, son of the Rev. E. P.

Medlin, son of Mr John Medlin, a butch- er in the market, died Saturday at hie home, 58 Margaret street, after being i11 six years. He was 22 years of age, and his death is of more than usual in- terest to the medical profession: Six years ago be accidentally swallowed a brass -headed tack, and after suffering for seventeen months from it he cough- ed it up. His physician, Dr. Stark, had hoped that with the coughing up of the tack the young man woutd recover, but the brass poison proved fatal, and he suffered from it until death. The People are Convinced When they read the testimonials of cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla. They are written by honest men and women, and are plain, sti i htforw rd state- ments of fact. The people have con- fidence iu Hood's Sarsaparilla because they know it actually and permanent- ly cures, even when other medicines fail. To TUE EDITOR OF 'run ADVOCATE. SIR, -Tho Council and some others want to discuss electric lighting by the town. From thorough discussion only good can arise. Ventilation and dis cussitn are the ordinary citizen's rights If, as is alleged, the citizens can get a better service for less money, and if, as alleged, the present contractor wants to charge exorbitant prices to cover his own laek of acumen and judgment, then citizens have a right to redress by the Council. When the electric light comes, it comes to stay. If we are to have it continuously, we want the cheapest and best. If we are not get ting this (and it remains with the con- tractor to show that we are) then our servants, the council,should see that we are not victimised. It is all a question of money and convenience. Money is only good to buy convenience and accommo dation. If the town can give more of both for the same, or less money, by all meansbuild a plant 2000 people should not suffer for the convenience of 5. That is the way political economy looks at it. If 1000 lights (incandescent) can be put in town and the back streets ser- ved with arc lights for about the same cost, then let us buy the greater con venience for the same, of less money. Yours truly, Exeter, April 19, '97 CITIZEN Hood's Pills are the only pills to take with Hood's Sarsaparilla. Easy and yet efficient.
