The first committee to report was that on campaign work, and the substaoge was :— That an Executive Oampaign Commit- tee be formed for the Province to have genial charge and management of the campaign, • That the Executive Committee engage a Secretary, who shah devote his whole time to the work of the campaign, and that the Finauoe Committee be requested to provide funds for the payment of such Secretary, and that conventions he sm- mediately palled in each county and city not already organized to organize and arrange for the conduct of the campaign end that the delegates present from the different counties and oities meet and report to morrow morning the name of some perenn as ooveoer for their respeo- tive 100110tses, to convene and oonsnit with the heads of the different church, temperance and yonng people's organize. tions, and arrange for the calling of moll coltven tiO n, That the officers of the county and city organizations form an Advisory Council to the Central Executive for their respeo- tive locanties. That the Executive be instructed to issue a circular to all organizations, giv- ing hints and instructions for the con- duct of the campaign. There was considerable discussion over this report because of the proposition to organize a Proviucial Campaign com- mittee. The Alliance leaders pointod to their proposition to hand over their or. ganization, for that purpose, but many opposed the proposition, and after a joint meeting of the committees on campaign and permanent organization, it was agreed that for the campaign at least there should be a new and independent organization. So the committee's report was adopted. A number of resolutions were present- ed and referred to the committee on resp• lotions. Among them one by W. F.C. Orr. "That the thanks of this Union Conven- tion are doe to the Government and Legislature of this province for the op. portunity they have afforded the people to deposit their ballots directly for or against the proposition of the liquor traffic on the first Monday in January next." A storm of noes greeted the resolution and both Dr. Potts and the chairman nrged Mr.,0rr. to withdraw it but as he persisted it went 0o0ording to rule to the committee and that was the last beard of it. 00814I20. The monster mass meeting met in the big pavillion but the members of the committee on permanent organization were deprived of the treat and were hard at work in the parlor of Shelbourne streeb Methodist church, and by their hlbor re- lieved the couveution of a disanesion that would have been anything bet pleasant. The brief report next morning gave no notion of the long and anxious session. TUE5DAT. There was so slaoktag off of interest or attendance on the second day but when the committee on permanent organize. tion presented its report and it was found • that the only question likely to provoke an unhappy discussion had been quietly settled In committee, all breathed easy and the end of the convention hove in eight. ON 051111ANEN0 Oa0ANIZATION. The Committees on Central and Per. manent Organization reported that they deemed it inexpedient that any perms. hent organization should be formed at the present time, bob recommend that the Union Committee that called this eonventiln shall have authority to gall it together again Should theyjudge it ex. pedient after the plebisoite 3n January, when the question of permanent organ. 1zation may be considered.

It was recommended that the Central Executive appointed to carry on the campaign issue an appeal for subsorip- tMons to defray the campaign expenses ; also that the chairman of the convention appeal to delegates for subscriptions to form the nucleus of this fund. The es. timate cost of Mae campaign was put at from $1,000 to $1,500. Rev. J. R. Dougal, of Montreal and W. H.

The Committee on Resolutions report. ed the following resolutions :— Resolved, that this convention rejoices that a number of the women of Ontario are given the privilege of voting plebiscite and takes this opportunity of placing it. self on record as favorable to the exten- sion of the franchise to women for mnniolpal and parliamentary purposes. That we desire to expreee our satisfao. tion that the Education Department of this Provinoe has prepared and authori0. ed a textbook in "Physiology and Tem perauoe" for the nee of public ooboolo, and made US teaching compulsory, me we 801n1y believe that the scientific Andy of the effects of alcohol and tobacco on the human oytem cannot fail to have a ealu. tory influence upon the habits of the young that ehall tell powerfully for good on the coming generation. That, whereas the leading politicians of both political parties have expressed them0elvee as in favor of tLe legal sup. pression of the traffic in intoxioating liquors when the country is ready for it, and whoreite an opportunity is to be af. forded the eleotorate of this Province on January 1, 1804, to expre5e their desire for the immediate enppreeeion by law of the liquor traffic 3 therefore, resolved that in order that no Government or Logissatere may have any further exo000 for refusing to pees a prohibitoky liquor law, that the convention galled upon every THE BRUSSELS POST qualified voter to lay ae1de every person. al and party consideration, rally to the polls, and roll up a decisive and aver• whelming majority in favor of the total prohibition of the legalized traffic). With regard to the resolution referring to the teaohing of "Physiology and Tem• perauoe" in the solloole several delegabee complained that it was not eoforeed. Ron. G. W. Roes explained the compDl- eery nature of the law, and promised that if the trustees of any eehool were not seeing that the subject had a place on the oirriculnm of their schools the same as any other subject a oomplaint to the F (soothes o atib u Department would result in the withdrawal of the Government grants from talose oohools. This explan• abion was accepted as entirely 5abiefa0. tory, After a few votes of thanks the groat union convention of 1898 adjourned, olos• ing up all bnsieese by 4 O'0loolt on the second day. TEMPERANCE. 0 Kansas, with prohibition and 100,000 more people than Texas, has bit one penitentiary and 990 prisoners. Texas, with saloons and 100,000 less people than Kansas, has levo penitentiaries and 8,000 convicts, The bank managers of Maine have just reported that of the 001,000 people of that state, 146,000 have $50,278,452 de. posited in the savings' banks, so that prohibition cannot have ruined business. A glance ab local option in operation in Illinois shows that the prohibition town of Pullman, with a population of 11,000, gets along admirably with a police -force of but two ooustablea in all. The ram -maker, therum•sellerand the rum -drinker make a trio so related that they constitute the whole of the liquor traffic. And they are so related thee if any one of them should go out of bnoi. nese, nothing would remain for the other two, The Dalsola Farmer says : 'Notwith- standing the efforts of the ligaor•dealers to the contrary, drunkenness has been almost wiped out—many a former moderate drinker has quit the habit ; and, above all, a host of young men have started on a sober alld industrious career ander three years' intiuence of prohi- bition. The drink hill of the two Dakotas dropped off 70 per sent. the very first year, and hos been growing material- ly less ever since, and no one has been made the poorer thereby but tbe saloon- koepere, brewers and distillers. WOMAN'S MLSSLONAHTi SOCIETY. The eleventh annual meeting of the Western branoh of the Woman'e Mission• cry Society of the Methodist church, was held in Listowel last week. Abort 180 delegates were present, melting a very noticeable increase of lady visitors in the town. The Western Branch in- cludes the three conferences of Guelph, Niagara and Landon, and nearly all of the cities and towns and many of the villages in these oonferenoes were none - sensed, some of them by two or more delegates, billets had been arranged by the looal branch and upon arrival by train on Tuesday the delegates were pro- vided with comfortable quarters at the homes of the citizens. Tbs sessions opened on Tuesday afternoon in the Methodist church and the convention held morning, afternoon and evening se5• pions up to Thursday evening, when the oouveutioa was brought to a Mose. The meetings, \vhicil were open to the public, were attended by numbers of the citizens, both ladies and gentlemen, as well as by the formidable array of delegates. Dm, ing the evening sessions the body of the church was filled.

Fifteen of theta, Indy mission- aries, are laboring in Japan, others are working in China and the remainder are engaged among the Indiana of the Norbh- wesb and the Freuoh Canadians of Qne• boo. During the past year almost $10,- 000 was raised by the Society and die• barssd in oarrying on missionary work. Practical addresses were deliverrd dor- ing the sessions by ladies who have been engaged in active missiocary work, principal among which were those of Mrs. E. Young, of Toronto, being remin• iseenoss of her ten years' life among the Indians of the Northwest ; Mrs. Mason on mission work among the Indians at Munoeytown, Miss Prestoe, returned missionary, on the ovork in Japan. Mrs, Jackson, of Caledonia, Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Dickson, of London, Miss Hardy, Of Hamilton, and Mies Horning, of Brant- ford, were also down on the program for addresses on missionary topica oouneoted with the Society's work, Mrs. James, of Listowel, had the honor of pre0enting the address of welcome to the delegates, to wbiah Mrs. Gayfer, of Hamilton, made a very appropriate and able reply, The co000,10 on was eenduo10d in a very buss• ness.like manner, and a large amount of work was accomplished. Stratbroy WAG selected as the place of meeting next year. The election of officers took place on Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Dr. Burns being again oboeen as President, and nearly all of the other officers wore re- elected, On Wednesday afternoon the convention adjonrned at all early hour to emeept an invitation to visit the Morrie, Feild & Rogers Co, piano factory, the delegates being highly pleased with what, they saw there. JDx(oc1:!l, While Riehard Atkinson was operating a circular saw at the furniture factory by some moans rare his baud on the saw and cut his thumb completely off at the first joint, Alf. Allan, florist and gardener, brought three strawberries into the Ad• vo0ate aloe last week.
