The large tempetARce convention at
Toronto last week appointed a delega-
•1iotn to wait upon Sir Orlivoa doing,
,and find out what hep P
as the outcome Of Abe plebiscite. 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. The
only thing to do now is top y
wait until the legal points are decided,
a� nd then secure whatever measure of
prohibition is possible^

The subject "Should children be en-

by Mr G. McTaggart. 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

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

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,

enormous; and.. Mr, Pattullo thought
the loss far greater than this estimate.
Then there is the loss in injuries to ve-

is in excess of that for good ones.

tive learnings, has not much friend-
ship
for the Ontario Opposition, and it
seems to "size them up" in away that
is not favorable, to say the least, as
witness the following extract from its
issue of Monday:
"The Grits in Ontario have an ad-
ministrative record which means Some-
thing; but if the Opposition represents
anything but thirst for_offrce it ought
to arise and say so. Big man and good
is, there is not
enough in as n �
him to cove. R. r the defects of
an Opposition that for years has done
nothing hut cling to his coat tail.
With the exception of 'the hard work-
ing and courageous G. F. Matter. the
Opposition apart from its leader, is la-
mentably weak. It does not. Tint its
finger on the points where Mr Mowat
has done badly and where it proposes
to do well. Its calculation is that it
would slip into office while the Grits
are fighting, but .there is just a possi-
bility that the Opposition will he wiped
out in the conflict between the Govern-
ment and organized agriculture."
Rev. Dr. Douglas, who died in Mon-
treal, on Saturday, was originally
Presbyterian, and when young attend-
ed the Methodist church simply be-
cause it was nearer his home, and
gradually became attached to it. 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. This is a position, of
all others, that should not be filled by
a lawyer, as at present. Why not fol-
low the example of the Ontario Govern-
ment, and put in a practical farmer
like John Dryden.
