He said candidly that he was nota teetotaler or temperance crank, and oocart aioally had • drink. •Wbeu the question of prohibition was before the township three years previously he had opposed it because Orillia is on the border of a greats lum- ber district and men would frequently come into the town with Sill or 4411 dollars, hand them to the bartender, purchaw such articles aa they needed. and not leave the town till the whole was .pent. Thele were seyou hotels and one shop license. end he feared if prohibition because operative that this trade wood be lost. He further thought such legislation could not be enforced, and much evil would b• caused, t beerfore be voted against the euactmcot. •1 am familiar, said be, 'with Local conditions, and have often defended hotelkeepers who have been clra1Ktd with breaches of the law, mud know what 1 am talking about. 1 have watched the working of prohibi- tion, and have found no trouble in its enforcement.

To say that homers are driven ;way by it is ritliculoua, and from my own experience. though I Bret voted agein.t it. 1 should now vote, for it every time,' This testimony was supported on every band. One waoufactur•er wrote: 'I believe that local option in Orelit has not been in may way detrimental to its baseness, and it has vastly improved its moral tone and sobriety. I cannot call to mind a single customer from tee adjacent country whom we have last through the effect of local option, and I know of many who prefer this town to others, as affording lees temptation to their sone.''

But the diftlrulty is moat ini agined than real. It e•aiate more as an abstraction than as u concrete fact.

No liquor dealer is in the business sale t<. make profit. He would not stay in the business one week if it didn't pay. The more liquor sold. the mon pro& made. The more a roan can drink: the more profit made out of him. The more drunken a person becomes the more intemperate he ie. Don't be misled. No temperance worker be- lieves for a single moment that people can be coerced into temperance. But remember this, that your temperance workers believe that "local option" We moet effective way to educate the people along temperance lines. Read in this issue the letter that was sent to t o English paper cortoerning the condition of things in Orillia. Those who opposed the bringing on of local option in that town have now been educated to gee the practical benefits arising from this method of temper- ance work.

V. -Yesterday et it. closing session, the brewers' congress received a shock for which it web not pr'epar'ed. The usual resolutions were being reseed. including the hollow pretenses of reform enthusiasm, and the secretary had jiii'st read : "Resolved. that public drinking places which ate the haunts of vice are dangerous, and should he elimin- ated," when Henry Hamilton. a Texas brewer, &ougght the time. Had the presiding officer known what Mr. tiauulton was going to say. he might have been sidetracked„ but the Texas gentleman is a brewer in good and regular standing, and nobody was looking for anything shocking from him. "Mr. Chairman," sail the roan from Texas, "1 ant not a public speaker and 1 hesitate to address this congress. I have heard the reading of the pro- posed resolution and have waited in vain for mine brewer to arise and epeak what he koowe to be the truth on this subject.

Some of you think that the fight against therobibition wave Tide bait been won. Tel is no wave, i tell you, and the tight has just hegun. The owning of these places and the protectiou of thew by the brewing interests is the thing which gives us the black eye. The anti -liquor forces take the fact and make capital of it, as they justly should. "The bope of the brewing interests is to be found in the elevating of the saloon.. This can not be done by resolutions, but must be done by the brewer severing his connection with places of ill -repute." Not another brewer said a word. The members of the congress sat like statues. No voice was luted to deny tbe charge. After a minute of painful silence, President Androaes put the question and the resolution was paned. Mr. Hamilton's speech was not only a shock for the brewers but will fur- nish a lot of thought for the good people of the country. -The Vindicator. GOOD FOR ORILLIA.
