Mr Mowat, in the most unreserved man- ner, expressed: his sympathy with the moveiineut, stating that after so decid- ed a vote heconsidered that no Govern- ment. would be justified in disregard- ing it, unless it were in favor of some- athing that was not•in the public inter- est, and he did. not think that was the character of prohibition. The vote, in his opinion, was a remarkable one—re- markable not only that the majority was 82,000,.but -when as almost as it was isdered great that the majority it must be as the total vote against, regarded is expressing strongly and emphatically the public sentiment of the province. "I think," the Premier said, 'that prohibition, if it is an ex- periment, and if not successfulinall is the States where it has been passed, • still an experiment worth trying."— After some further conversation with 1r;1� delegation, Mr. Mowat gave the following as the unanimous decision of the Ministry:— '"If inistry: Council "If the decision of the Privy should be that the Province has the jurisdiction to pass.a, prohibitory liquor law as to sale, I •Will introduce such a bill in the followingSession, if I am then at the bead of te government.— If the decision of the Privy re ounci is is that the Province has j pass only a partial prohibitory liquor law, I will introduce such a prohibitory bill as the decision will warrant, unless the partial prohibitory power is so lim- ited as to be ineffective from a temper- artceptandpoint:" The delegation, composed in part of prominent Conservatives, • expressed , themselves as perfectly satisfied with the result of the interview. We do not see how anyone could be otherwise, who has the temperance cause at heart. Mowat • goes as far as he can,- and certainly promises to do all he can to further the temperance • cause.

This was follow- ed by a free parliament of interesting features of our work,in which many of the delegates took part. "Why am I et teacher?" was the next subject introduced, ine'the absence of Rev.

Rev Mr Acheson introduced the sub - se t. "How to raise the'standard of S. .. teaching." It was deeply regretted by the convention that those who were appointed to introduce subjects, failed to put in an appearance; this is not fair to the work or the worker. The evening session was up to the standard of the former meetings of the kssaciation. All went away feeling that a most profitable day had been spent. C. A. REDMOND, Ree. -Sec.

Statute labor is worth less than 50c a day, and is often worse than worthless because f the harm done by ignorantp. ters. Is it not folly •to have labor worth so little done in July when a farmer's time is worth $2 a day? How- ever, he would not abolish the system until there is something better to take its place; and vastly better work can be done on the average under it, and especially by using the power munici- palities have of commuting it. The question of supervision is the impor- tant one, as is that of continuous re- pairing and maintenance. GOOD -ROADS PAY. Bishop O'Connor will erect the s of the cross, in the church an Tuesday, the 20th inst., after High mass. which will be at 10.30 a.m., everyone will be welcome. At the raeeting of the Quarterly Official Board of Rattenbury St. Meth- odistchurch, last Friday. the following resolution was unanimously carried:— "Moved by R. Holmes, seconded by Wilber Manning, that the Board de- sires to place on record its appreciation of the zeal, fidelity of its pastor, the Rev -.ss and christian Holmes, who, notwithstanding his ill- ness, has to the fullest extent of his ability, labored for the extension and upholding of the Master's cause during the past year, and we have much plea- sure in extending a cordial invitation tohim to return for the next year." It is untrue that a proper system would be unduly expensive, Mr Patt- ullo said, for bad roads cost more than good ones. In Great Britain the sav- ing of good roads is $25,000,000 year; Massachusetts loses from $5, to $10,000,000. a year through bad roads: Illinois is computed to lose $16,000,000 a year from the same cause; the cost the United States of its bad roads is • Si perannuatious. The Toronto News intimates that if there is a change of government at Ottawa, the Liberals would reform the superannuation system by removing jl the burden of taxation which the me- chanic and laboring classes and other members of the community have to, pay to provide for the superannuation of Government officials. The News, says, further: "Their policy is not.to abolish the system of superannuation, but is to make it self-sustaining, and maintained by the contributions the civil servants themselves will have to pay during their active services." If the Liberals ever get into power in the Dominion, and do not wipe out the Superannuation system altogether, they will fail in the performance of at least one duty, The Mission Band of Rattenbury St. church, gave an interesting entertain- ment on Tuesday evening of last week, not the least important part of whit h was the contributions of those who at- tended instead of a money collection, of articles intended to relieve want and Death of Dr Douglas.

In Ontario there are 350,000 working horses, and at $1 per head loss of time through bad roads through the year—not a big rate—the total loss is enormous; and.. Mr, Pattullo thought the loss far greater than this estimate. Then there is the loss in injuries to ve- hicles and horses. Mr. Pattullo's con- clusion was that the cost of had roads is in excess of that for good ones.

Rev.

He was one of the most eloquent men that ever Wit essed an audience. A rum: r is current that Mr Angers, Minister of Agriculture in the Domin- ion House, is to retire, and be succeed- ed by Mr Ives.
