To the Editor. 1 have been much impressed with the spirit of fair play manifested by your excellent paper and trust you will accord ine the same eouatesy. The writer has never had any pro- nounce' love for sumptuary law, be- cause history has so frequently weigh- ed them in the balances and found them wanting. The ancient dynasties t Egypt, Caesar Augustus in. Rome and Mediaeval England, each in turn tried to put down excessive drinking by ruwptuary laws, and each failed. All this is very natural because History has shows us that there le no tyranny so galling, so hateful, as that Tyranny which seeks to invade the sacred pro- , vince of personal liberty, and in this connection we are brought face to face with tbe fact that, outside of our spiritual nature, there Is no desire so strongly implanted in the human heart, as the desire for some sort of stimulant, It is coevii with humanity and is no more to be condemned, denied or repudiated than is human nature itself. All that we can do is to seek out the measure that will beet hold the evils of drinking in check. The teetotaller believes in prohibition. We believe that prohibitory laws never did and never will prohibit, The State of Maine is the parent of prohibition in the United States. Maine has nominally had prohibition for two generations. Dees prohibition in.the State of Maine prot,ihit t? Every one knows that it does not. Main's leading citizen, Governor Cobb says : "If I, for the economic and moral good of the, rising generation of Maine, were asked which I should choose— prohibition, or rum sold nver the counter, even as sugar, coffee, tea, etc., are sold—I should unhesitatingly say—free Rum.. No man has worked harder and put forth more earnest efforts as. Governor pf this State to carry out Prohibition in the. State of Maine, then I have done." Governor Cobb is a teetotaller and an ardent ' Temperance man. The temperance party itt Maine christened him "The Immortal" because of his earnest work on prohibitory lines. And the Tore - going is Governor Cobb's solemn statement. Again thanking you for your space, I remain. Respectfully yours, Subscriber. Communication. Mr. Editor Dear Sir :—Since last writing to the Advance have found out some "funny things," more to relate. Our new Council is duly elected, who will for one year, give to the citizens of Wing - ham (free of charge) their time, their talents and their brains; the Bend played and each alderman freely gave his "V" and cheerfully spent another "Tan', in 'rigs, etc , and after the election, all through, the Press most gratefully acknowledged the great honour ermferred by the magnanimous electors of Wingham, in electing them to wear the laurels and ell iy the triumphs, instead of their unsuccessful cowpotitors. Now Sir, is it not funny, funny, funny, that they who receive should be exalted high, while those wh's are giving should be humbled ? Another funny thing which we hopes that you will not only insert but answer Mr. Editor ; How is it that you can buy Canadian beef cheaper in England than right here in Wingham,, and also flour shipped from here to Montreal, can be re -shipped back to Wingham as cheap as we can buy it for, bef are leaving our depot? An. other funny thing is it not? Another funny thing and oh so funny, how is it that our chief makes frequent calls upon our local bakers' compelling them to give the 1} lb loaf, .while in Galt, Godericb, and a number of other places I could men- ti tion, their weight of bread is but 20 ounces. We have spoken to our genial member concerning this open breach of Provincial Law, and while he contends that all can be compelled to give the standard weight yet all over the Province, are they defying the law, Funny, oh, my. how funny and so thinks Sir. Fanny Man. Father, dear Father, ennui home with me now The clock in the steeple won't strike 7l3ntll the snow of winter has melted rtway And summer come warns and bright. FthNNnr M.

Of The Tem• peratce Party. There have been so many garbled reports about the challenges that the Temperance Party have hurled at the unoffending Huron County Business Men's Association, that we think a plain statement of what has actually occurred will serve to disabuse many minds of erroneous impressions. On the 30th of last October, we pub- lished in the press throughout the County that, thinking a public debate would be the beet and quickest means of giving the voter information, we challenged those. who favoured the Scott Act to debate the following resolution :— Resolved, that prohibition is funda- mentally wrong in principle, un.chrie- tain in character, and powerless as a remedy for drunkenness. We added, that we would name as our champion, and meet any man having the indorsement of the Dominion Alli - arca each side to pay one half the ex- penses of holding the debate, report- ing and printing the speeches of the debaters., and mailing a copy to each and every voter in the County. From that day to this, no attention has been paid to our challenge. In epite of the fairness of the offer, it has never been accepted. It is true Rev,, S. J. Alliu, having misread our challenge, or never havingread it at all and taking as correct without due enquiry, some wild rumour that reach- ed his ears, wrote to the press and stated that I, personally, having thrown out a challenge to meet any- body to debate this question, he would himself meet me. I replied in the press, pointing out to the reverend gentleman his mistake. Since tben, there has been an omin- ous silence, unrelieved until the 15.11 inet, when there appeared an un. signed paragraph an ordinary "local" stating that there would be a meet- ing in Clinton "some evening" n• xt week—date even then uncertain—at which "Ontario's chief authority on " all tem eranece ueetions Heaven P 9. ( help Ontario) Rev, 13. H. Spence of Toronto" would be present 1 Further, the Temperance Executive of the County extended a challenge to the Huron County Business Men's Associ- ation to be represented at this meet- ing by any man In America ! The writer of this article could not believe his eyes. He called up Mr. A. T, Cooper, (Clinton's "chief authori- ty on all temperance question's") and a ked him if the paragraph were authentic. He replied that it was. This morning, 17.h, Me. Cooper, volunteered the „information that the date of this momentous meeting was settled for the 22ed—so' practically, after having had our •challenge before them for over two months and a half, they finally, four days before their meeting, become poseesaecl of suf- tictent courage to make the proposal they did. The Huron County Business Men's Association's executive are not as foolish as some people .may think. The whole thing is nothing but a trick. The Temperance Party have proved their inability, their fear, or their undes4ra, or a mixture of the whole three, to accept our challenge of Oct. 30 h. They cannot in any fair mind successfully wriggle out of their posi- tion, by seeking in this childishly weak manner to appear as though they were the original ehallengere. Let then* go on,, and have thein will, ather. meeting. Lot those who w , g , th � a Chief tb i Ontaric to listed authority," a title we may fairly pre. sume he gained itt the Cooper Inetl• tute.

A mass meeting will be held in the T Mage of Belgrave on Friday even, ing at 8 o'clock in the Foresters' Hall, when the famous lecturer and orator, Mr. J, Baxter Aldrich, will address the meeting, taking as his subject, "Canada Temperance Act," There ie no admission fee and one and all are invited, Opposition speakers will be given ati opportunity to address the audience, Hospitably Entertained. The members of the Anglican Young People's Society had an idealevening on Thursday last for their annual sleigh ride. About forty-five took ad- vantage of the opportunity and for the second time accepted the kind hospi- tality of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Golley of Morris, who with their eon and dough- ter make excellent entertainers, the hours passing quickly and pleasantly, in games, music, etc. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mr., and Mrs. Golley and family for the enjoyable evening, and the guests departed hop- ing to return again. A Sacred Duty. A week from today the electees of the grand old county of Huron will be called upon to mart that sacred bal- lot which "Executes a free man's will as lightning does the will of God," and the Advance does not wish to play the role of dictator. There are always two sides to a question, and there are twq sides to this one. The Advance, as a public journal, having two thousand readers, has been pleased to throw its columns wide open to both sides in this contest, There are two classes of extremists with which we have no patience. There are those, who would strive to make us believe that every sin and every evil emanates. from the liquor traffic, and on the other hand there are those, who claim that the wheels of commerce would cease to revolve if it were not for the bar -room. Ia between these, is the great body of moderate, thinking people, who are honestly looking for light, and will walk according to the light which they receive. Consequently, we trust that the debaters from this on will be calm, deliberate and to the point and that the issue viz, Scott Act, will be the issue to be diecusted. We have found in the County of Huron, there are fourteen municipalities, out of the twenty-eix already under Local Option and the question with many leading temperance workers in those munici- palities, seems to be whether or not the Scott Act measures up to their present act, the Local Option. Then in the other twelve municipalities. the question is whether or not the Scott Act ie better than the present license system, reapted with prospects of at- taining 'udcal Option, as it is freely admit:,a that the Local Option Law is the stronger safeguard. Another eta' -tient made to the Advance, ran lit. this." In our polling sub division , ny township, all but five voted for tee Scott Act, when it was submitted 'bout 28 years ago, and after it was tried for three years,those same stalwart, kind-hearted, disinterested men, all voted for the repeal with the exception of five or six and I would like to know wherein this Act has been amended so that it will be better now than it was 'then." This, we believe is a sincere question, coming from a sincere heart, and men like these should have an answer, and the speakers should take up the Canada Temperance Act, and discuss the act itself, as we understand the Rev. J. W. Hibbert did last Sunday. Then there are those, who state that even if the Scott Act has its weaknesses, it is preferable to the present license sys- tem, However, in'the coming week, many meetings will be held and we know that the good people of Huron County will weigh well all the argu- ment, and then sit down and ponder the matter in their own minds, and will not be carried away by sentiteenr. In this campaign, we have tried to play the part played by many clergy men at the time of the voting on Church Delon. The most 'discreet clergymen gave a sermon for Church Union and then a sermon against Church Union, or in one sermon gave the arguments for and against. This we would like to say it our attitude on this question. The tignuor traffic is art evil and gay fifteen or twenty years ponce, there will not be many, if any licensed bare in the Province of Oa- twrio, but temperance men can sincere. iy, and honestly and conscientiously differ as to the beet method of bring- ing on that time and it is for t? a Voters of Huron County t t decide for them- selves as to which is the best way to advance seat tasting temperance. The writer heard t vo sermons on the C enada'r'emperance Act, and this was the gist of each sermon, "We don't know Muds about the Canada Tem- perance Act, but tote for It anyway.'' A better argument than this can be ad - ennead for it and tws intelligent sled- torate ohoul 1 bo dived o, edit for hair- ing thinking capacity enough to be en- titled to better inttelleotuaal food ttran this. i ° !tr"li . 'it . ...:.... ..M,. Draytoq vs. Wingham,- These two teams played a League game on the rink, here, on Friday evening last, The game which was well contested, was refereed by a Drayton man throughout and ended with a score of 3 2 in favor of Drayton.

A Northern League game was play- ed between Wingbam and Palmerston, on the rink of the latter team on Mon- day, the 19th. Palwerston won by a score of 4-8, but the fight for supre- macy was a hard one, as the Wingham boys are fast, strong players. Mr. T. Edmunds of Stratford refereed the game satisfactorily.

A large crowd assembled in the Town Hall to hear the lecture of the famous cartoonist Bepgough on Tues- day night, and those who heard him were highly pleased with his address Mr. Bengough ie an able. cartoonist and distinguished lecturer. .It is im- possii le for us to give any adequate account of his address. At the close of the meeting a vote of thanks was tendered by Reverends Perrie and Hibbert. At the beginning of the meeting, Rev. Mr. Hibbert gave a short address and quoted from the blue book to show that while there are many more municipalities under License than under Local Optinn in Ontario, yet there were 1200 convic- tions for violation of the liquor license act, while there were only 157 con- victions for the breaking of the Local Option law, and of these 157, 53 were in Owen Sound, where he pointed out the liquor institutions tried to bring Local into Option p disrepute. The Rev. Mr. Perrie spoke along general lines refuting the statements in certain literature about conditions in Nova Scotia. Halcrow—Tisdale.
