The Exeter Advocate, 1893-11-30, Page 4SANDERS es DYER, Props, iR(JRSDAY, November 30, 1398 IJBLIC DIANER TO THE PREF IER. If.anything, were needed to satisfy the public mind as to the :estimate termed by leading citizens of both po- litical parties, in regard so the prestige of Canada's Premier, it was the brig-. Rant gathering iu Montreal last week under the auspices of the St. :James' (nub. This organization, be it observed I's non-political; and, on the occasion referred to, there were present leading represeutatives.of the Bench and .Bars besides merchant princes and kings of finance whose estimated capital would zeaeli to eighty million dollars: There were but two toasts proposed, viz: for "The Queen," and "our guest." Sir Donald Smith, one of Montreal's mil- Iionatres, occupied the chair; and when Sir John Thompson's health was pro. ised,there was an outburst of applause. The Premier in replying, paid a grace- ful tribute to the memory of the late Sir John Abbott; remarking that the lax Premier was a true patriot and a faithful' guardian of Canada's best in terests. Reference having been made by the chairman to the Behring Sea arbitration, Sir. John went exhaust- ively • into that natter, showing how the decision of that tribunal was fl ;ht with most yaluable lessons not only for Canada, but for the the Em- pire and humanity at large. In tare appointment of Sir John Thompson up- on an equal footing with the . Imperial Commisssioner, LordHannen, Englapb had cencided to. Canada the right of being heard in her own interests; while the result of the arbitration has shown that whenever Canada is iu the right, she will be backed by the greatest power intheworld. The Premier con - eluded an eloquent address by 'thank inti the merchant princes and profes sional men of Montreal for this mark of their esteem, adding that he would re- gard such au unsolicited token of their eanfidenco as the happiest event of his, public life. ON PROHIBITION. A good deal of thunder and, noise is Sliest now being expended on the Onta- rio plebiscite for prohibition. as though the success of temperance were depend ent on the number of votes polled next January. There are many ways in which this question may be viewed. We may look at it from a moral or from apolitical stand point. The bill intro diced last session of the Ontario Legis lature by Mr. Marter fsi. P. P., in the direction of prohibition, did not find favor with the Mowat government or their party; hence' the movement for taking; a plebiscite was simply a politi- cal dodge to gain time, and make party capital by seeming to favor the licen- sed liquor dealers who have been made arse of by the Ontario government to keep themselves in power. Then the prohibitionists and extreme temperance men were bound to ride their "hobby" come what might of the plebiscite. Their ,policy seems to be to ride rough shod over the opinions and eonscien Hous scruples of men equally as well uniformed as themselves, and by the ex ercise of an arbitrary and coercive en actment to force tee•totalisnr down peo ple's throat, whether they will or no; Meanwhile, our federal goyerument knave taken the prudent course of es certainirig by means of the Royal Cor-. mission how far prohibition is'practie able, or to what extent' public senti- ment might be reckoned on to justify ri.ti a r h, r the successful working. of p o terse enactment. Judging from hast expel.. Certain it is that the cause of temper-` ance reform has of late 'years made rapid plogresseetwat through co-ereive leg'islattou howevee but by Moral sua- sion and the influenee for good exert- , ed by ehurclttis, and temperance socie- ties. We cannot hope to make people moral, or sober, or christiaus, or good members of society, by acts of parlia-- ment, All that can be done is to re- strain vice and restrict the liquoeltraf- fic by wholesome legislation because mea of baser passions will, find, ways and means of indulging in the execs. sive use of alcohol, or opium, or chloral or absinthe, or some other more noxi- ous and destructive ingredient than alcohol, But we hasten to put on r race d some sensible points in which the Dominion statistician at Ottawa- a man of large practical experience— has expressed his views on the pro. posed Ontario plebiscite. Says the Ot- tawa 'Journal: "Mr, Johnston lays down his pointe as follows: (1) That the abuse of alcohol, popularly called intemperance, is a crying evil which warrants the employment of strong measures to suppress. (2) That iunspite of these evils, acknowledged; undenied, the, human race will have its liquor. (3) If man will have it and can get it, even in the mcst unlikely place or surroundings, then prohibition is worse thau useless. (4) That Ontar io by herself can reap no benefit to her- self by prohibition. (5) That we have already had a trial of the Scott Act, and the measure of success at tending its edoptiou does not suggest that repression or suppression is 'the best way to deal with this great evil," It is well for the electors to weigh well both sides of this question before com- mitting themselves to a course which may entail on the community all dis regard for law, while failing to pro mote the cause of true temperance re- form.
