The Register says that Dr. Trude] .lost the election “ through no fault of his own.” We are not so sure of that. We believe that had the Dr. taken a, firm stand and said that he waspreparedi to endorse the Green wayeLaurier settlement of the Man- itoba school question because he be- "lieved it was just, or had he con~ demned the settlement because he «considered it was unjust, the electors would have respectedthim, and in all probability he would have ;polled a larger vote. But what are the facts of the case? Dr.‘ Trudel stated pub- licly that, as he thought, the‘Domin ion and Manitoba‘governments had made the'best settlement of the school ‘ question it was possible to make he would support that settlement, If the bishops or the ablegatc from Rome endorsed it. But if those church: dignitaries condenmed it then he J would condemn it also. i "(The Catholic Register elaims'that. 'Dr. Trudel, the Liberal candidate who was recently defeated in Chain- plain, is being shabbin treated. by the Reform-press,-and insinuates that this paper exhibited a degree of spite in an article which appeared the pre- vious Week. We must resent the ac- cusation. The paragraph was writ- ten before the day of election, so that had the Liberal candidate been Vic- torious over his Conservative oppoâ€"; nent we would have found the same} fault with liiSeoampaign declaration; provision must be embodied in the bill to make up the direct loss to the Dominion exehequer of about $8,000,000 of revenue received yearly from liquor. It is no small problem to be solved. Indirect taxation has been pushed to its last limit, and some other means must be looked to for supplying the deficit that would arise by the adoption of a prohibitory "liquor law. The poor man’s neces- saries of life will not suffer any greater exactions, and the rich man’s luxuries already are burdened to an ‘ extent that smuggling is apparently on the increase. The plan of direct -taxation, it is hinted, may hate to be iresorted to in the event of prohibition being an established fact, and in that ’case the direct tax would not fall far ‘ ‘short of $1.50 per capita, or about $7.50 per family, annually, taking the average at five persons to a fam- ily. At present much of the current comment on the question is mere side speculation. Eventually the stern facts have got to be faced and thor- oughly threshed out. It is to be hoped that, although the element of fanaticism will pervade the temper- ance ranks to a certain extent, the more level-headed, conservative temâ€" perance advocates will not permit, in the heat of battle, sentiment to out- weigh good judgment in dealing with this politieo-moral and financial prob; lem. It is understood that the plebiscite bill Will soon be introduced by the Hon. Mr. Fisher into the House. There are already certain vague ru- ‘inors floating about as to the provis- ionscontaiucd in the measure. It is certain, however, that apart from on- acting the necessary machinery for testing the sentiment of Canada upon the advisability of adopting a prohib- itory liquor law, it will be complete in all its parts and will give, if car- ried at the polls, the means to attain the desired end of the abolition of the liquoi‘ traffic. Looking to the future in the possibility of prohibition be- coming an accomplished fact, some We admit‘that the defeated RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, April New Adflisements. 23131:: flit-em. DR.

At King nearly $400 has been raised for church purposes during the past year and? the difl'erent organizations of the church are flourishing, especially the Ladies’ Aid inaugurated by the present rector, who proposed a vote of thanks to them for their great assistance, which was heart- ily passed by the Vestry.

The General Provincial elections which took place in Nova Seotia on Tuesday proved a complete triumph for the Liberal party. In a house of 33 only 4 Conservatives have been elected. The leader of the opposition and many of his ablest colleagues were defeated by large majorities. Premier Mur'uy who succeeds ex- Premier Fielding is to be congratu- lated on his overwhelming victory. Sir Charles Tupper, it seems, has lost his grip on the Blue Noses of Nova Seotia. War has at last been officially de- clared between'Turkey and Greece, the horrors of which it is difficult to realize. Sympathy naturally goes out i for the smaller nation, but if left to themselves it is more than likely that Greece will be cut to pieces by their . fierce and blood-thirsty opponents. Several ferocious engagements have already taken place, and it is uneer-. tain what the end may yet be. If the great powers are not drawn into the war it may not be of long dur- ation, but the danger is that the ‘war- fare will not be confined to Turkey and Greece. Ripans Tabules: pleasant laxative.
