Plebislite returns for a number of con- stituencies are still incomplete, consequent- ly it is impossible to give the total vote,but, according to the latest .figures, the majori- ties by provinces are as given below : FOR AGAINsT Ontario. - ..... 17,582 51,290 NoVa Scotia . . . ... 17,840 New Brunswick13,715 Prince Edward Island „ 6,160 Manitoba . . .... 5,099 Northwest Territories1,992 British Columbia 538 62,926 51,290 Total majority for prohi- bition is. . 11,636 The exact vote, will not likely be known until the figures are given out officially by the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery, to whom all returns are made by the returning officers. When these are made public it would be a satiefaction to give with \them the total available vote in each conatituency. What a Judge Thinks. Shortly after the last prr rineial elections it was charged by Consery ative oliticians and newspapers that a corruption fund ad been raised and used by the Government, and that the fund had been contributed to by certain American lumbermen, and that large sums of this money had been used to secure the eleation of Mrl. Harty, in King- ston,'Mr. Gibs* in Hamilton, and other members of the Government. In order to give the charge a degree of semblance, - something of this nature was included in the charges in some election petitions, and,. among others, in the petition against the return of Hon. Mr. Harty, in Kingston. The Kingaton petition was tried last week before Chancellor Boyd and Justice Fer- guson, and we subjoin an extract from the published evidence, which speaks for itself so plainly that comment is unnecessary. It is as folio:Ws; " The fault lies in these 287 particulars," said Chancellor Boyd to the prosecuting counsel. "If you would come down to par- ticulars on which there is evidence to offer, there would be less trouble. It: is like searching for a needle in a haystack Just now. Now we wing() over the particulars, one by one, and see what you are going to do. Take -charge No, 1, that a central fund was raised in Toronto for the purpose of bribing and corrupting the constituencies, and the electoral district of Kingston in particular, by die Ontario Cabinet." " We have no evidence to offer," said Dr. Walkem, counsel for the petitioner. It should never have been put on record," said the Chancellor. "It is dis- graceful to do so, if there is nothing to jue- tify it. The charge is dismissed." The' Government and the Plebiscite. The policy of the Government toward the prohibition issue is now apparent. The Government trusted to get out of`the plebis- cite hole by working the Quebec vote. It was the Province of Quebec that returned the Liberals to power in 1896, and it was the same province that was relied upon to get them out of tais trouble. If the Gov- ernment had been .sincere with the prohibi- tionists, Sir Wilfred Laurier would have in - slated on the neutrldity of his Cabinet. It was part of the scheme, however, that the Province of Quebec should be used as a cats-. paw on this occasion to save the Govern- ment, and this necessitated interference on the :_part of the Cabinet Ministers in the plebiscite. It was part of a pre -arranged schenie that Messrs. Tarte, Joly, and Geoff- rion should do exactly as they did. The Government was taking no chances in giving the prohibitionists the pleb- hicite. They knew that Quebee pould be relied upon, if properly worked, to kill the project. True to the original scheme the Liberal papers are . now saying that prohibition is impossible in the face of the adverse vote of Quebec. The temperance people ought to thank the Government for giving them the plebiscite, but they have good reason to hold the Government respon- sible for interfering in the plebiscite. and securing the defeat of prohibition in Que- bec, The Government gave the prohibition- ists the plebiscite and it also killed prohi- bition. The -above is from the Toronto World. Thie paper was one of the, strongest oppon- ents of prohibition, and spoke out against it more loudly than any other paper in On- tario. It therefore does not become it now to throw stones at the Government or any pers-on else for securing its defeat in Quebec or eisewhere. The World did its beet to secure a negative vote in Ontario, and the fact of its readiness to accuse others of de- feating it elsewhere shows that it is more anxious to injure the Government than to give its readers a fair statement of the cam. If, as the World professes to believe, and as it taught, prohibition would be an injury instead of a benefit to the country, it should mum -teed the Government for endeavoring to secure its defeat instead of gensurin them, But the World is not sincere in it professions. It knows well that all the Government could do in Quebec could not influence, and did not influence,the result in the other provinces. It also known that an adverse vote in Quebec was a foregone con. elusion, and wies expeeted by every person, and that had the vote been' as decided in favor of prohibition in the other provinces as it was against it in Queheni the result in that province would not deter the Govern- ment from sibmitting to Patti ment a pro- hibitory measure. There is no good reason why members ef the Govern ent, in their individual capacity, should ref in from tak- ing part in tke contest., They had a per- fect right to do so, and the G veminent, its a whole, should not he held r ape' Ebbe for ap views they may have expr used or any in mum they may have exe dee . It is un ortunate that, from first to I t, the le ing Conservative papers both in Ontario an Quebec, have done their best make th a political question and to ores a pre- ju` ice against the -Government, an in so do ng they showed their lack of ncerity, an, neither the prohibitionists nor the op- po ents of prohibition have much t thank th m for. They showed elearly, as the W rld now dom, that they car d little w ioh way the vote went, so long a the re- eu t would be likely to injure Lauri r. He, wever, has taken a straightforwe d, hon- or hie course in connection with the matter, th same as he has done -with ever other, si ee he assumed power in this eou try,and so long as he does this, he can afford to set hi critics at defiance, and to laugh at their fu ile attempts to injure and discredit him in the minds of the people. He gave the pl biseite in fulfilment of a pledge by his p rty, and, had the vote in the other pro- vd. me been as favorable to prohibition as it s unfavorable in Quebec, a prohibitory la wotild be as certain as the existence of hi Government, and the feet that the vote is not as faVorrible ari it sheuld be, is no fault of his. he Reason Why. _ , he Mon real Witness, in accounting for -- h much a a er vote polled in Ontario, on Thursday of test week, than was polled when the provincial plebiscite wes taken, says : The last, week in September is one of the busiest periiids in the year among Ontario f rmers. Threshing is then in full swing ell over the country, and as each machine requires a force of morne.eight or ten men to eun it, when the weather is fine, we could hardly expect that the threshing would stop until the ' opera ore would go ,five or six Miles to register their votes. Those who have silos are ale filling them just at this time, and at each a gang of half a dozen or more men are' required to keep the cutter going. In additi n to this, the huckwheat crop is being bar ested, potatoes are being dug, corn is hein cut and husked, and fall ploughing is in 6 -der, so that on a fine day the farmer has to many pressing duties re. qui ing his immediate attention, and the ple iscite being o ten considered A secondary ma ter, the latter was neglectedi The for - _me plebiscites were taken during the mu icipal elections in mid -winter, when or - din ry farm work is suspended by the frost, an . the voters were coming out ; anyways to ch ose their local councillors 11 here is no doubt but thedifference in periods of year when the! respective th vo en th pe gr th Pe rea ov pr vex. es were taken had a cowlick e in making a smaller vote n some years ago. We belie ance, and even prohibition s able influ- last week e that tern- - istfment is wing in this province, and is stronger n it wae five years _ago. Se !that tem- ance and prohibition workers have no on to feel discouraged or down -hearted r the result ef the recent vete in this vince. ut, still, the fact stands out prominently, that if a majority of the )ple were as deeply interested in the pro - hi movement as they should be, in ord r make a prohibitory law a success, the obs aclee mentioned by tlie Witness wo Id not deter them from voting.' There are few constituencies in this province wh re any voter is further from his polling plaee than a few miles, and the great ma- jorilty ef electors _could poll their votes wit out the loss of more than an hour's tim . And he is not a very ardent prohibi- tio ist who would not devote one hour of his life to record hie vote for it. . El "torial Notes and Co ments. he announcement has been officially made tha Mr. A.
