SIR WILFRID’S STATEMENT.
Sor the Goveroment organs seem to think hibition bas been disposed of at least for mapy years to come. But there is atill hope for the probibitionuiste in the following, clipped from the Patriot:
Oy eo, Oct. 1.—“ What do vou think of | Vexte v's vy + ?”? Sir Wilfrid Laurie: wi asked by arepcrier,
“Tl am always glad to learn the expression of public opinion,” replied tne premier.
“Willa prohibitory law be carried ?”
“Ii is the function of all responsible ana
1 tioval governments to listen to the
‘ yf the people,” deciared Suir
Wilfrid.” Sir Wilfrid, it will be observed, does not meet adirect questioa by a direct answer But h ;

intimates that “the Government to the voice of rae pe pie A the votes ‘Thursday

Sir Statement, as
tien will, ere long, be enacted. How this } can be effected by a Liberal Goveroment,
nounced the idea of prohibition as opposed
| | ? | three members of which have openly de- } i ‘ ‘
to Liberalism and the financial interests of the administration, remains to be seen. But Sir Wilfrit is an able dealer, and
there are vacant governorships and sundry other gool things in prospect for retiring members of the Cabinet. The prohibitio: = ists are likely, at all events,to bold Sir Wilfrid to his statemeot that ‘it is the function of all responsible and constitu- | tional Governments to listen to the voice of the people,” and the implied promise
from the polls | to retain the existing liquor |
| ; i laws they would, doubtless, have taken the | } '
refore, conclude that the }
} } ' quoted above, we may hope that probibi- |
contained therein to enact prohibition as a | result of the voting.
The idea that we can’t bave @ probib. itory law simply because Quebec hes e:id 60, is ridiculous, The rule is that the majority governs in Canada. An exception to the rule ought not to be made merely because a majority of the whole country is opposed by a majority in Queke. A majorit y in Quebec has the right to govern as to a Quebec provincial matter, but this ig @ rational watter; and the msjority of the people of Canada as a whole must, consequently, outweigh the majority in

—The $250,000 expended for the ple- bisclte wotfd have gone a long way to- wards the construction of the Belfact and Mutray Harbor Railway !
~If members of the government were, as they said, determined not to be geverned by the plebiscite why did they put the country tothe expense and trouble of the plebiscite,
—The Patriot says that the plebiscite vote is, as a whole, “almost as goud” as it expec ed; and The Patriot has all along professed to believe that prohibition would result from the plebiscite. Will the Pa. triot now, in view of the prohibition majority, urge the government to enact a prohibitory law? Weshall see.
—The Guardian has givev up ihe idea ef National Prohibition—the only prohi- bition that can be made effective—-and is going in for “Provincial Prohibition.” Some persons wobble when defeated. But Tbe Guardian wobbles in the face of vic- tory. Looking at the result of the Plebis- cite—which has given a mejority for prox hibition in every province except one—we see no reason why probibitioniste should abandon the great idea of a probibition law to cover the whole of Careda,
—Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beres - ford, whois on his way to Chinaas th representative of the British Associated Chambers of Commerce, delivered a epeech upon his arrival at Singapore io the course ot which he urged chat commerc‘al trea- ties between Great Rritain, Germany and the United States aud Japan would insure
ace. Hedeclared that the waterways of Chioa should be developed under the pro- tection of military police, and then rail- ways would follow. In conclusion, Lord Charles urged Great Britain to take a firmer and more definite attitude in regard to China.
—Onthe question of dissolution, the Chatham Planet takes the following view and it is doubtless a correct ove: Follow- ing the Toronto Globe, many Government papers are arguing that toere is no likeli- hood of a general Parliamentary election atanearly date. Nevertheless, it will cause no surprise if a contest is precipitat~ ed within nine months. Mr Tarte wi!l have most to say in deciding the quertion, He can judge of the public pulse fas wisely as the best. If he thinks that the public
entimen s is nct oo far turped against the pledge~breaking, job creating, debtsin- creasing, extravagant aggregation of which he is an important part, that an early die ‘olution will give the party its only chance for a five years extension of office—a dias
solution is sure.”
THE PLEBISCITE VOTE.
Opinions cf the Press.
Toronto Globe: The bostility of the cities is the one feature of the vote that can be regarded as disappointing. It that in those
was desivab'e centres of popula~ tion where toe diticulty of enforcing # probibition measure would be greatest there should be a strong sentiment behind the law.

show up or shutup, and we rather think that the government will tell them to “but up.”
St John Sun: The majority in the martime provinces in favor of prohibition ‘will probably overcome thatof Quebec against it, Nova Scotia gives a yes ninjority of a adout 25,000, New Bruns--
wick’s majority wil! apparently reach 17,- 000, and that of Prince Edward [sland is not likely to be less than 8,000 waking 50,000 in all. of 75,000 majority in Quebec was too high, hat the
“ine Lie estimate
figures telegraphed to ths afternoon papers were doubtless too low. The !ate retureas yet to come will sweil the anti-
wajertty in Quebec, but must increase the
| proutbiiion majority ia the other provinces.
Ovtawa Citizen : Canada is not growing rap:dly in population forthe reason that her sous are spreading out over the habit-
able globe. Hardly a list of killed and wounded from the Sulps crews or regi.
meuts ofthe United States inthe recent war but costained the name of one or more Canadians. Lieut. Girouard, a Caca- dian, built Kitchener’s celebraied railway from Wady Halfato Abu Hamid. A Tor-~ onto boy was among the killed in the charge of the 21st Laccers at }Omdurman. Lieut, Morris, of the Worces er regiment, distinguished himself on the North-west frontier in India last spring. Capt. Cooke, news of whose death arrived from the, African Hinterland last week was from Moncton, N B., and several Canadiana rode with Jemieeon in the Transvaal raid
Montreal Witness: Owing to the adverse mejority in Quebec,the total majority in favor of prohibition ‘in in the country is but emall., It, is, however a distioct majority. Sir Wilfrid Laurier plainly promised thatas the people ordered 80 the government weuld legislate. Gov- eroment,io this country is by msjuri:y. No government would ecruple to rule by virtue of a far Jese mejority than one of twenty thourand votes, Nor does a gov ernment count it necessary to have 4 majority in every province. One province, indeed, is juet now ruling all the rest because it ca-t amejority large evorgh to obliteraie a'l the minorities. {hat provicee should nox, however, expect torule all the rest when it fails to wipe out their unanimous majority. Sometimes 6ne province has to be ruled by all the rest. If members of parliament are governed in tis mau r by ‘their constituencies a consiterable majority of them wil] demand and support prot:ibitory legislation.
St Johan Telegraph : There are upwards ofa million and a quarter registered voters ia the d fferent constituencies of Canada, and of these less than one fourth took the trouble to yotc on Thursday. The number who voted in favor of probibitional over
Canadadid not exceed one-sighth of the ,
number of registered voters. Assumiog that there wae a mujority of votes cast for prohibition, was the vote of such a char- acter as to justify the government in acting on it in the way of legislation? No one will pretend that this plebiscite has di3- closed the views of the people one way or the other, forthe excellent reason that a majority of the people refused to vole and gave uo indications of how they would baye voted if they had been compelled to take sides on the question. The Government are therefore as much in the dark as they were before the plebiscite was ordered, aud from the fact that the vote for prohibition was 30 siall they have a right to infer that the people of Canada

However, the Jabor has not heen in vain; the cause is not Jost This plebieciie has been the greatest educator, and the result shoula merely act asa stiipnlus to the prehibitionist for redonbled effort ‘n the great fight.
Loudon Daii'y Chronicle: Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s promises of a poll in the Domi- nion On prohibition ie a awkward one for the Government. The vote will likely be in favor of prohibition, which result will give Sir Wiltrid an opportunity for the exercise of bis statesmunship. Whatever way “Our votes today, there is not any likelinood that Eogland or Europe will tollow her example, for the simple reason tha: the sensible, practical, easy- going in this world will mot coneent to be governed by the fussy, excitable and fea- ther-headed.
