The Oerma 11 to permit limos d
botelkeepers sell liquor on Sundays
to bona tide travellers is one of the
triunophs of constructive statesman-
ship, which shine like lamp posts in
the legislative career of the member
for Welland. This effort to abolish
the Sunday thirst of the wayfariug
man would inevitably fill a long felt
want and other vacuums. The Ger-
nim hill seems to have left the fair
hands of Edward, Dickie in a sadly in-
complete state. It is all right for the
Legislature to say at the instance of
-0W. M. Gerroau, Al. P. P., that every
bona, fide tra,veller shall be tilde to
obtain liquor at a licensed hotel during i
prohibited hours an Sunday. How s
a bartender to know a, bona fide travel-
ler from a member of the Ontario Leg-
islature.? The Legislature's clear duty
is to define the exact, meaning of those
raylterious words, "a bond fide travel-
ler, and the German bill will admir-
ably sint the Hotelkeepers' Associa-
tion if it includes the decision of the
eruinent, Irish judge, who ruled that
"every max with a bona fide thirst is a

An exchange says : "An agitation is
being started for a laud grant in the
Northwest, as well as medals, for those
who took part hi repelling the Fenian
raids and the Riel rebellione." This is
hnove that will heartily commend
itself to every patriotic citizen, and
the member who introduces such a
motion and carries it successfully
through the House will be the most
popular men in Ontario. Why should
not these brave men who have been
honordd by the receipt of medals also
have a grant of laud? It is true they
may not reznove to the lands them-
selves, but they have sturdy, brave
boys who would do so, and there are
millions of acres in the vast Northwest
still under the control of the govern-
ment. Let the agitation go on. When
the loyal, stout -limbed Canadian boys
return frora South Africa, they will
ettlitless receive such a grant, but in
meantime we should not forget

efendant that neither the inform -

offence against the License Act, which'
provides that "any licensed person'
who ;Wows &num to be sopplied lu his
