The Manitoba government's crop re, port for the year is out. It shows great ads aneement. The total wheat yield is 18,2(12,650 bushels, anaverage of 14 14 bushels per acre. The quality was nearly all No. 1 or No. 2 tiara, 1,1170485 acres have been prepared for the crop of 1%x98, an increase of more than 400,000 acres over that ready a year ago for 1807 crop. It is now evident that the Local Government is galloping at break heck speed towards the general election, re- aiarks the Mail and Empire. A few months ago it was the intention to postpone the eoutest un'il the fall. But a change has been a ft,:,ed in the pro gram, and it seems clear that the poll- ing will take place early in March.. The people therefore have before them a short and sharp campaign. The determination to hurry matters is no doubt based upon the theory that delay meas increasing danger, whereas a sodden call, as in Centre Toronto, may be the salvation of the Government. There has, however, been a great deal of public discussion relative to local affairs; and the feeling of unrest and of disappointment is too strong to be over- come by a swift manoeuvre. Lord and Lady Aberdeen have been supposed to be suchh sedate personages that the lavish scale of expenditure on their ball in the Toronto Armories the other night arouses some wonderment. A dancing floor had to be laid at a cosu of $1,000, electric lights cost $4,000 two largo extra furnaces bad to be put in for one night's use, and the huge building was decorated in the moat pro fuse and costly style. Altogether the cost is estimated at $15,000, yet that can duly be a fraction of the whole, as it takes no account of the incalculable private expenditures upon customes and various sorts of toggery. Several hospitals might have been endowed by what has been frittered away upon this.

He was one of the best 'mown, most prominent and highly respeeted residents of the county. Ho bad been before the public all his life and bad taken an active interest in public affairs with credit to himself and to the interests with which he was associated. He had been reeve of Ashburnham for over twenty-five years continuously, repre- senting the village in the county council until last year, when he retiree to accept the reprosontatiolt of the Lakefleld divi- sion, to which he was eloctod by ncelaux- ation. In 1887 he was garden of the county. In the general elections of 187S he was elected as representative of East Peterboro to the Dominion Parliament and was again returned in 1882. in 1887 he was defeated, but was returned in 1891, though defeated at the last election.

It Was George A.. 'avhitin ; Who Shot Himself Through the Heart. Toronto, Dec. 81. -The man who shot himself through the heart on Huntley street on Wednesday night, and whose body now lies in the Morgue, was George A. Whiting, of Thornhill, who came from Ipswich, England, about 11 years ago, and has since been farming with various employers in the vicnity of the Yonge street village. Until a few days ago he worked for Anthony Bowes, of Concord P.O., about three milds from Thornhill. He was engaged to be married in a couple of weeks to Miss Annie Chatterley. an estimable young lady of Thornhill, to whom he wrote a letter a few hours be- fore he committed the dreadful deed, announcing his intention to do so. The cause of the young man's rash act is still somewhat of a mystery, unless his mind was for the time unbalanced owing to drink. Ontario Teachers Barred. Winnipeg, Man.; Dec. 81. -War has been declared against Ontario teachers and all others residing outside of Mani- toba and the Terxitories, and hereafter no teacher will be engaged in Manitoba schools who has not seoured a western certificate at a regular teachers' examina- tion. This is paying Ontario hack In her own coin. Manitoba Heathers' certificates are not recognized haa the effete east, though the examination is even higher in standard than in Ontario.

Within 20 seconds from the fall of the ffoor the hall was emptied. The police- men who had guarded the entrances, were absent, and only half a. dozen of venturesome souls peered down the abyss from the floor above, Down in that death pit men were shouting and struggling to free themselves from the wreck. From underneath the heavy beams came groans of despair. For the moment everyone fought for his own preservation. Those who could, scrambled up the broken walls to the hroken walls th" floor frcm which they had fallen. A hurry call was scut to the fire, police and ambulance station, and within five minutes some sem- blance of order was brought to the work of rescue. Ladders were lowered into the pit, and large plate -glass windows broken in, and the work of removing, the injured actively begun. In the heat of the panic Ald. Carroth ers, who was upon the platfozm when in gave way, rose and shouted for quiet With his strong arms he seized several of struggling men, whose efforts to fres themselves were bringing• only danger 'o others, and, although bleeding from several wounds, did his best to starthe panic in the pit of destruction. All this time the huge safe was crushing out the life of some of unfor tunates who were pinned under it. Ropes werelowered, and a score of men raised iesufficiently to enable the rescuers to drag out the maimed. The committee room of the opposing candi- date, deserted, of course, on the every-. i e of defeat, was utilized as a tempor- ary morgue. A drug store opposite,. was converted into an infirmary, and every building within a block was taken up for the accommodation of the injured, The cause of the a :chlent was the giving way of a beam running north and south directly under the small platform upon which the s peakers of. the evening were gathered. When this beam fell the platform, with a space of some 400 square feet, was left without support. The beam which gave way seemed to have literally rotted from its place.

My private °plait)°, it is not in 'ie.cord with the Divine law and I atn supported by many ministers and lay - wen who are well qualified .to give an opinion on this platter. 2 I contend prohibition interferes with man's natural right. In this con mutton I am snpported by very many i,efluential persous in Canada. 8. Some churches claim, that it is de- sirable to grow in grace. We must practice the virtues of temperance, If prohibition is as complete as its advo- cotes claim it Is, the temptation to ex- aess is removed, hence we are deprived of the opportunity of resisting tompta tion, cousequeutly our growth ill grace is prevented. Many ministers, under oath before the Royal Commission, gave evidence that prohibitiou was an inter- ference in the workings of God's law. Such a law would discriminate be- tween the churches. 4. The Scott Act has been over half of Ontario; but now it is a thiug of the past, being repealed in most cases by large majorities shewiug conclusively that it is not acceptable to the people; retarded true temperance, a financial: loss to the governments and no reduc- tion to the liquor traffic or brink, more commitments for drunkeness under Scott Act than under license. 0. The drink habit was excessive in Main in the early part of this century. The people were aroused, active moral suasion means were resorted to by temperance people, and the churches with marked success. It is natural for humanity to run to extremes, with this moral suasion means the liquor traffic in three years was demolished by . two thirds this great success caused the ad- vocates of the temperance party to ad- vocate the other extreme prohibi- tion. Extremes are generally wrong, the mean is the proper course and re- commended by St. Paul. The Royal commission fail to see any improve- ment in Main under-. prohibition that might not have been as well accomp ished by moral suasion, that the drink habit had not been materially lessened. Mr Spence, secretary of the Dominion Alliance, Ilsome time ago stated that whilst the people in tho States drank eventeen gallons of liquor per head annually, the people of Canada drank only four and a half gallons •and the Ontario statistical report now in pre para tion states that Canada is the most emperatc country in the world.

Question seven is answered in an- swer to question six. 8 The experience in prohibition coun- tries or localities is, that so many new chaoneis sprung up by which liquor may be obtained, and that of the worst sort, that it led the commission to the conclusion that the remedy was more.,, injurious than the disease, hence their report"unfavorable to prohibition. "Di- rect tax is the only proper way to make up for the loss of the revenue. The to- tal less sustainable by the Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments of Canada, would cause a per capita tax of about $2.40. As the township of Stephen has a population of about 4000 this woutd require Stephen to contrib- ute $9,000 annually to make good their share of the lost revenue; this revenue is now made up by voluntary -contribu- tions. No person is compelled to pay anything into tho fund. The question now is, aro the people of Stephen, or any other locality willing to pay five mills on the dollar of their assessed valuation, yearly,ifor all time, towards maintaining a fund equal to the pres ent revenue and this in face of the fact that Four out of five of the Royal Com mission have reported to the .Dominion goyerument adversely to prohibition and favorable to comPensation for plant rendered useless. Now when we take into considera- tion the fact that Main has been under prohibition fifty years and has had fifty amendments to their prohibitive laws and that Canada to=day is in advance of Main on the temperance question, and general morality.. That "there is less drinking and crime in Canada than in Main should convince any thinking mind that moral suasion, the guiding star of Canadians, is superior to ; the prohibitory law of Main. C.
