etkm, Unsound Proposition.
' The Teroeto Globe in an article in
which reference is --made-to the rapid
grow1th of temperence sentiment in this
country, and the consequent prospett of
having at an early day a Prohibitory
Liquor Law makes the following propo-
siticee :
In these cireumetances we think that
nothing could be more satisfying to all
parties titan that a plebiscite over the
whale Dominion should be taken on the
simple question of Prohibition or No
Prohibition. . This could be easily man-
aged at the time of a general el.ection for
the Dominion by simply having another
sectien added to the usual voting paper,
to b� marked Yes or No -when the ballot
was east. This would very effectually
indicate the present state of feeling on
the >bj.eet all over the Dominion. It
would'. t it be -known in a general way
howimuch had already been accomplish-
ed end how much yet required to he
done. We see no reason -Why such a-
-pIebisci e should not be taken at every
such el ction. It would involve no ad-
ditional exreese. It. conld be easily
manage 1. It would. be unfair to none,
and 4 ight to be satisfactory to all.
We e rtainly cannot agree with the
conctes ons of our contemporary. Such
a Vete o id not give satisfaction thany,
in so mtic as it would be alike unfair to
the &Luse f prohibition, and injuriousto
the intere ts of the country. Every tub
should be made to stand upon its own
bottom, and nntil either of the great
political parties of the day takes up the
question of Prohibition, and makes it
one of the leading planks in its platform,
the. further the question can be kept
'front poli; ical considerations the better.
So sert oa either of the parties do this
there -will, nOt be any need for a plebie-
cite.-1Bu1 as yet neither of the parties,
as ;uch . seem disposed to go
t hue! far. - I It would note there-
fore, be, wise to mix up Politics
asl' robbitiont a general election as
the 4e "question would detra:pt public
1
'attert on from the other. We believe
,-;
. the t e is not far distant when the
'people vitill demand an opportunity of,
expressing their Opinion up on the question
of a, einitersal prohibitory law at the
poll st but there is enough in thee ques-
tion to claim the entire attention of the
1 , -
peoplie unmixed with other matters. Be-
siclesithis, the question of prohibition is
a ver Y wide One and in order that an
_
intelligent vote could be got upon it, it
would be necessary to have the principle
embndied in an act making provision for
it. The support of the principle by
mane; would, no doubt, depend upon the
characterof the law tlutt might be de-
' I
signed to enforce it, as for instance,
- .i
many might support prohibitien if come
pens, tur were provided for,while many
°theta w uld forego their preference for
.
probilesti n tether than incur the re-
spo ibil t'of compensation. • Before
It
An inteli g n, vote can be taken upon the
questionitl erefore,it is necessary for the
Govern e t and Parliament to form-
ulate scmie sPecifie scheme having for its
aim Prohib tion and submit that fer the
approval a rejection of the people.
But, ro ably the greatest objection
to the pto oeition of the Glebe it that
• the plebis ite vote would distract the
at tio f the people from a proper
ton de ti ri of the manner, in: which
= thegenerl affairs. of the country have
been in n-ged by the present Govern-
ment diiirug the past five years. If
Prehileit o were dragged into the con-
test' in tlfs way it -would become an
issee of ore or less importance, and
P
woad (1 et act the attention af the elec-
tors. fr4 he main and'more important
issue. 4 very large proportion of the
people bel eve that the present Govern-
ment have .managed the affairs of this
country in a manner otherwise flame in
the f tereath of the county, and hence
it is des'. able anal necessary that the
people eh uld. have an opportunity of
coital -deli g and pronemichag upon this
- conduct 1 eapeetive of any side issues
sueb at that proposed. We have no
doubt Itut the Government would' be
only tOo glad to import a side issue of
-alit eheracter 'into the next general elec-
tions-, so that public attention might '
some measure be distracted from thee
' misdeeds. If this proposition of a
Plebis4te had emanated from Sir John
ineteal of from the Globe it would. not
have surprised any one; but if the mis-
deeds of the former are one-tenth as
aggravating as they have been depicted
by the latter, and, we believe they are,
the the conduct and policy of the Gov-
eriineut will furnish ample material for
the' consideration of the electors, Una -
I
i
loyed by any side issues. We want a
square and fair vote, and that we could
not have if the question of Prohibition
were dragged hein the manner proposed.
•If either of the ,political parties can
muster courage to adopt Prohibition,as
a principle of their faith, then it will
fairly become an issue in the elections,
but unti:1 this is (lane the question had
better lie in abeyance until it cm be
taken up and discussed and considered
on its merits, and entirely aside from
other political considerations'.

The Central Prison.
The Toronto correspondent, of the
Montreal Witness, in'esumming up the
evidence given in the recent investiga-
tion into the management of the Central
Prison at Toronto sums up as follows :
"The chief res It of the investigation
has been to make lear the extreme diffi-
culty of dealing with shortterne as C0111 -
pared with long term pfisoners. When
a criminal is sentenced for life or for a
long term of years he is apt to be sober-
ed by the gloomy prospect, while at the
same time he is permitted to entertain a
hope that by perfectlzgood-behavioe he
may be able to.shOrten his term of COnr
fintinent: Moreover, a Much greater
vereie0e, of industries is possible in
prison where men stay long enough tie
acquire skill in some mechanical trade,
A convict who is in for only a fest
months is not open to suth influences.
His object, when he is a thoroughly bad
man, is to give all the trooble he can,
and he has plenty of opportunities in
such places as a broom factory or a brick
yard. The only motive the warden ca,n
rely on is the desire to make a little
money by extra veerk, and in some cases
this desireleas worked a trensformatiop..
The effect of the (Inquiry on the .public
is to establish a very general belief that
the lot of peisonets is much bettere the
loss of liberty excepted, than that bf the
average skilled mechanic of thiscity,
not to speak of laboring men and theif
families. Veier few of .either these
classes enjoy such fare or have such
pleasant occupations as the Central
Prison convicts have, and, therefore, the
attempt to arouse sympatO for the lat;
ter has been a, complete fizzle. While it
is not desirable that convict, even witen
they misconduct themselves, should be
treated with too great severity, it it
just as little desirable that they -should
he able to win sympathy as a species of
martyrs simply beCause they are com-
pelled to work and obey the =lei ofthe
prison.. It is safe to predict that for a
long time to come we will hear no more
of tyranny, in the management of .the,
prison or of the hard lot bf those who
are confined in it.
SOME person must have hit our good
friend of the Goderich Star on his funni
bump and in this way ena.de him realli
witty. Referring to our 'remarks of two
weeks ago concerning the advisability of
establishing.a central fund from which
election expenses could betupplimented,
the star says; -
"That word. "successfully " strikes up
as peculiarly significant. "To carry on
the elections successfully," that is what
the fund is wanted for—a sort of
"Come -along,' -John, -let-us-put-down-
bribery:ancl,corruption " scheme for the
whole Dominion. Mr. Blake and Me.

lowance where it trill do the most good-
-for themselves, in their ciwn
But wen% this scheme of Sir 'Riehazd's
be putting temptation in the way 4f
weak brethern who don't practice .014
kind of busin.ess now (for lack of funds),?
Really, our contemporary should pause
and. reflect." - • I
The word succetsfully " in -the con-
nection in which it was used is certainly
peculiarly significant" to our cOn-
temporary as welt as a good many other
subsidised organs on the same side trf
politics, as the -success of the Reform
party means the withdraw.' from them
of a very considerable portion of their
annual revenue a..nd while they would
be the poorer the country would be just
so much the richer. ' But, in order to
achieve this success there are necessary
and legitimate expenses which must be
incurred, such for instance as looking
after the Tory Revising Barristers ap-
pointed and paid by the Gavernment for
manufacturing voter's lists; the prepar-
ation, printing and circulation of cam-
paign literature to offset that prepared
and furnished feir Conservative ministers
and members at the public expense, and
in some measure to counteract the influ-
ence of Tory plaeform speakers, who are
paid o,,ut of funds procured from .public
contractors; to defame Refonners and
uphold and gloss over the misdeeds and
shortcomings of the Conservative Gov-
ernment by whom they are ,employed.
These are some of the objects for which
a central fund is required and these ob-
jects, as our contemporary will no doubt
admit, are quite legitimate and proper
although they have a very great t‘ sig-
nificance " to those whose evil designs
are to be frustrated. If the opposition
had a fund provided by Government
cohtractors to draw from for theseepur-
poses they would not require to use
their own money, but as they have not,
it is necessary for them to adopt some
scheme to procure means to check -mate
those who have. Does our contempor-
ary now understand?
THE breale-up of parties is one of the
most notable features of American poli-
tics, and a most perplexing phenomenon
to the average politician, who can find
nothing better to do than either to rei-
terate deelatations of principles that
needed utterance quarter of a century
ago, but are now Political truisms, such
as the equal rights of all men, regardless
of color, etc., or to construct carefully
balanced phrases which utter nothing
about questions of to -day, such as that

The phenomenon is not confined to
America, however. France and ng -
land are equally in 'want of an issue. In
France the, Radicals have convictions,
and have enunciated a platform; and
which we ,may characterize as Radicel
Demecracie with SOcialistic tendeneks.
But neither the RePublihans proper nor
the Conservatitet (who can scarcely any
longer be termed Monarchists) seem to
know exactly what they want, except
the control of the government. In Eng-
land the Ifeak-up is quite as great. The
Conservatives. are I quarreling between

Mr, Dill, was etitioned against on the
grounds of bribery) &c. ' The case came
on before the election court a few days
ago, and at the commencement the Soli-

wished to Witildra.w the petition as he
was unable to find any evidence against
the respondent, and that he was -prepar-
ed to admit the electionhad been con-

of Mr. Dill. llhe Court thereupon dis-
missed the peti ion with costs upon the
Petitioners, an • coMplimented the mem--
ber and his Mena 'upon having secured
his seat by the 'unpurchased votes of the
I •
electors. It is almost needless to say,,
that Mr. Dill is a IReformer-and a sup-
porter of Mr. Mowat. This eelection
stands out in bold relief from that which
took place some time previously, when
John- Shields, Roddie Pringle & Co., se-
cure4 the temporary election of the Con-
servative candidate by means ,that were
anything but creditable.

elected last week for Cardwell, by a very

White has been continuously connected
with the Press of Canada for over thirty
years, and now upon formally withdraw-
ing for a time,,atileast, he has been
handsomely treated by his , brbther
journalists, irrespective of party pro-
clivities, both at Toronto and Montreal,
the press men of these cities having en-
tertained him at complimentary ban-,
(pmts. There is much expected from
-Mit. White in his new position, and we
h.ote his friends will not be disappoint-
ed. He has the'ebility_to. make a vast
improvement in the affairs df the North-
west, and to conyert chaos .and disorder
into contentment and prosperity. But,
whether or + he will do so depends

partizan consi erations may prevent his

this event that failure will attend his

success if he has the will. . He goes to

A WHEAT XEST. ,
Farmees usually gave some thorn in
the flesh that cause P them to -rumble. I
ii
don't know but tho e who follow other
callings are just as apt to grumble as
farmers, bat here,w ere four fiftlifs of the
people follow farmi g one is sometimes
led to think,hearing growling on all sides
a out drawbacks to the crop &ea that
n, ne but farmers a e addicted to that
habit. At any rate they are now doing
considerable grumb nig, and the source
of their discomfort is an insect which is
attacking the whealt. In past seasons
tl c pest has been n tieed, but not until
t1is summer, withii the leet two weeks,
his much attentiop been paid to its
operation. It is a mall grub or W01111
which works at the jroot of 'the grain,de-
s roying the sap ani causing the stalk
wither and die.1 Its injury to' the
cops so far is rjeally, nothing very
s rious in Southerr Manitoba, though
f om Dakota and otlher parts across the
lutae we hear report that much damage
i being done. The worm is foimd to
c nfine its operations, thus far, to old
lend, leaving land but recently bronght
undmacultivation, mtouched. I have
not seen any wheat nor have I heard of
any, upon which th. loss is estimated at ,
niore than five busi els per acre. Pieces
ethich are even a , badly damaged as
that, are rare. So hat there is no cause
for any serious a1arn in this respect.
,
i THE WEATFIEBj AND HARVEST.
The weather continues all that could
be desired. 'Very warm days, bright
and sunshiny, have been the order I
throughout the present month. To -day,
with its litazy,sleep , atmosphere,reminds

on all sides fields of grain, just taking

le notes of the loc at. A short drive ,
into the surro-undi g settlement, how-
ever, cm:names one that "things are not ,
*hat they seem ; "-for, instead of thei
_
quiet which he , im gilled reigned over'e erything, bustle gfeets him on all '
sides. Farmers in y he seen here and
there giving the nishing touches to
their haying, or pe haps already cutting
their barley. , Inde d most of the barley'
has been already c t, and some wheat,
'gut the hulk of t e latter cereal will.
scarcely be touched until next week. It.
is expected that th cutting will be fin- '
ishecl by the end of this month, but 1
whether the expee tion will be realized.,
in regard to late crops, will depend
largely upon the eather of the next
few days. Of course, in speaking thus,
I refer only to our portion of Manitoba.,
In other parts of the province, as for in-
stance the Red River Valley, and to the,
north of us, cutting was commenced a
Week earlier than here. It is usually
the case for fariiiers in the parts of
Manitoba mentioned, to lead us a httle
.1
in their harvesting for the reason that,
to the north, the s .1 is lighter and of a'
1
more Bendy nature'lthan ours,a condition.
Which causes the g ain to mature earlier,
though the quaht3f is hardly as fine;

day or two ago when speaking of his
erops, and the remark will apply equally
as well ltomost•of the crops in Southern

4. CREAMERY.
A movement isi on foot amongst the
farmers of this district with a view he
the establishment �f a creamery at some
central point. rj'110 enterprise is a very
desirable one, and one that ought to
nay.. The presen eason ' butter has
been a wretchedly lIow price --ten cents,
per pound being the best since early;
Apring—and farme s have realized but a
poor return upon this article of produce.
The operation of a 'creamery which will,
as this is intend&l to do, manufacture; ,
both butter and cheese, will enable -Mil -
Ors of cows to re lize the bestpossible
returns, as, in every case, creamery but
commands thle top price, while,
eleeese, which this season, at least, hasi
Paid better than better, always briu it
profitable figure. The fanners here
Seem satisfieu that a creamery will pay
better than their present syttern, and
they have accordingly taken the _initiae
Jive towards getting the scheme under
Way. They propose to form a joint'
tock company with a capital of $10,000,
divided into 200 glares of $50 each. fie
committee has been appointed to keep
the matterwarm, and it is altogether
probable that our farmers will have *
