What is Morally Wrong Should

other day of meeting Deacon Jones. You

come a nation of drunkards, I enquired
of the demon what lie would de to bring
abont this reform. He commenced
squinting, and said he would call the
liquor traffic by its right name, end pro-
hibit the whole thin. I reminded the
deacon that all great reforms were
brought about by moral sna02011, and I
could not see why it could lose its force
in the temperance movement.
The deacon said that moral suasion
Mid great force in the temperance move-
ment, particularly on the bronchial ar-
rangement, but that it required too much
wind to make it a success. I felt the
mercury rising, and replied with some
spirit that a prohibitory law was arbi-
trary, and that I for one %vonld not obey
a law that infringed upon my liberty.
The deacon here repeated the word lib,
erty. "Liberty to get drunk, Isuppose ?"
I told the deacon I claimed to be a gentle-
man and wished to be treated as snub.
The deacon apologized in part, but said.
that all law was arbitrary, and then
quoted Blackstone on civil law command-
ing what is right and prohibiting what ie
wrong. I informed the deacon that the
liquor traffic was legally right and ehould
be obeyed.
Here the deacon commenced squinting
at a terrible rate, and said that slavery
wee legally tight but morally wrong, and
that a thin that was morally wrong
should not be made legally right. He
then spoke of the license law being legal•
ly right and morally wrong, and it wits a
question with bine whioh was the greater
criminal, the saloonkeeper or the party
that gave him license, and that if we can
give a license for selling whiskey, we Dan
license other 00(mee. The whole thing is
wrong and unworthy of the present ego.
I replied that a prohibitory law MB nn
infringement upon the choice to obey the
law or not to obey it. The deacon re.
plied that the -rum -suckers were very par -
Bottler in the right of choice when they
wanted to go on a drunk, and that the
law was not an infringement upon the
rights of the drunkard, because it 1'estor•

ed all the teener in Christendom was am
nibilsted. It bad no value as a beverage
and if it was not for the drinking class
mould not be old. I reflected for e. ram
ment and then told the deacon Hite could
have I,(a way in managing the liquor
traffic, it would bring about a bad state
of things. Thousands engaged in a legi-
timate bneineee would less everything.
I then told him In look at the millions of
dollars invested in the liquor traftlo. EN
said he could not see a cent, but oauld
see in the distanoe that fires were being
kindled, and woe to him that puttsth the
cup to hie neighbor's lip0.
The deacon then tarried to mo with a
look of companion and said : "Friend,
don't you know you are all wrong on ties

As kings go, Bing George must be

man. 13ut in every other way, almost,
he has earned the richt to be regarded as
a royal Crichton, He has a complete
knowlenge of seven or eight langnages,

as obscure. When he first saw the light
in 1840 his father—now Ring of Den-

estates or thrones, and the income he re-
ceived by inheritance and by hie marriage

It is understood that the plebiscite bill
will soon be introduced by the Hon. Mr.
I?Esher into the Ilouee, Three are al.

end of the abolition of the liquor traffic.
Looking to the future in the passibility
of prohibition becoming an acoonplished
fact, some provision must bo embodied in
the bill to make up the direct loss to the
Dominion exchequer of about $8,000,000
of 00venue received yearly from liquor.
It is no swall'problo(n to be solved. In-
direct taxation has been pnebed to its last
limit and sone other means must be

would arise by the adoption of a prohib(.
tory Minor law. The poor man's nec00•

gliug is apparently an the increase. The
Mau of direct taxation, it is hinted, may
have to be resorted to in the event of
prohibition being an estsbliehed fact, and
in that case the direct tax would not fall
far short of (11.00 per capita, or about
$7.50 per family annually, taking the
average at five per0ous to a family. Ab
present much of the current comment 0u
the question is mere side speculation.
Eventually the stern facts have got to be
faced and thoroughly tbresbed out. It
is to be hoped that, although the element
of fanaticism will pervade the temper-
ance ranks to a certain extent, the more
level-headed Conservative temperance
advocates will not permit, in the heat of

to make adverts political ettpitnl lent of
the ahewiug whioh the 0001111,1ns of the

to Parliament loot week were the first of
the new Administration. Last year the
estimates of the outgoing Government,
11e prepared by them for that year, were
aocopted by the Liberal Government as a
matter of necessity since, at the late date
of their a0eeasien to office, they were for
that reason precluded from investigating
and revising them. Bub es time went on
the money voted under the estimates was
not expended by them where the Govern-
ment saw it was not actually required,
and, as a result, a considerable salving in
expenditure was effected.
