SIGNIFICANT.

Tue Patriot announces that Mr. Petere,Q.C.,M. LA., the way from British Columbia to take his seat in the House at the forthcoming session in this province. So the Government ie evidently afraid to open the Fort Augustusdistrict! Its fear must, indeed, be very great and exceedingly well founded when it is necessarv for Mr. Peters to travel the thoneand miles —and back, in order that the necessity for vacating his seat may be obviated. The day of the Conservatives

is evidently coming. El I em

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.

We directed attention, a short time ago, to the advieability—in view of an increase ef drunkenness— of abandoning the custom of offering wines and liquors at social evening parties, and urged the necessity for & more consistent course of action on the part of temperance workers and a stronger and more general sentiment a* to the importance of practical temperance reform. Moral suasion and force, we contended, must go along with our liquor laws or they, whether they be lax or whether they be stringent, will not be obeved or effective. Our remarks have, we are glad to note, occasioned a good dea) of comment in the commnunitv, and we are not without hope that they will be followed by *ome practical temperance reform.

Ab attempt bas been made to convey the idea that Tne Examiner is opposed to the passage of stricter laws than we now have. This is not fair. We merely say that if there is not sufficient moral force in the town to compel the enforcement of the present Regulation Act, there is not suffi- eient force to carry outa more atringent law. If we cannot force the liquor dealers to stop selling liquor at an early hour on Saturday evening, how can we hope that a law requiring early closing every evening will be enforced? What we want isa stronger and more decided public opinion behind the laws that we now possess. When we have that we may goon, with some assurance of success, to the passage of other lawa. Butit is not worth while passing laws to have them flonted,as al} experience has proved that they will be so Jong as our legislators continue to flood the country with whiskey at election times» and our leaders of society continue to offer the insidious glass at their social gather- ing*, and our temperance wrirera and workers continue to take “an occasional drop” themeelves. Correct these incon- sistencies, and a moral pewer to enforce the prosecution of stricter lawa than we now possess will speedily be developed.

It has been said that Tue Examixer iteelf has not always been true to temper- ance and that ita efforts on behalf of temperance have been spasmodic. But thie, even if true, affords no good ground for refusing to entertain Tae Examiner’s present reasonable proposale. We don’t shut our ears to the pleadings of a temper- aoce lecturer because we know that he was at one time a drunkard, The statement is, however, entirely without foundation. It is true that we demonstrated, upon one occasion, that the Scott Act—the servant of tem peraoce reform—was not doing its work and that we have generally chown a disposition to give fairplay and publicity to the other side of the Scot: Aet question, But we have ever and invariably been true to temperance, even though short-sighted temperance men classed Tak Examiner with the ** rummies ” and started another paper to run it off the track. The mistake of that day isevident im the recent journal- istic developments and in the increase of the liquor evil which is now seen.

Evidently the liquor deslers have not

_—Itis hoped that the politicians at Washington will hurry up reciprocity, eo that we may have-the benefit of the Ameri- can market before our potatoes go bad or the price go> down.

—If the Ser succeed in fixing up the alien labs pute while they are at Washington, there will be general rejoic- ing. It will be bard to make any progre-s towards neigepft pness while this umgra- cious thing way. It is not a game which can be monvpolized by either party, but can be played at by both with real injury to-any, mutual good understand- ing that may’ W& atten:pted between the two. The two Governments ought to be large—souled enough to Jet labor, sufficent- ly haraseed and handicapped by the social conditions of theday, find work where it can.

. =-In the course of a recent speech at Victoria, Sir Charles Tupper expressed himeelf as surprised and delighted by the vast possibilities for weelth which ‘had been cpened up in the minerala, fisheries and lumber of British Columbia. He said that if the Americans kept up the policy of a hostile tariff we should meet them on h:+ir own ground. The Government would have the undivided support of the Conservatives in protecting Canadian rights. They should show the Unifed)States that however pow- erful they were, they could not cverce Canada. Sir Charlee Tupper further stated that his Klondike compnrny intended to put two steamers on the Yukon route.

—The shiftizess and duplicity of Sir Wilfrid is effectively described by the Hamilton Speetator as follows: ‘Sir Wilfaid Laurier puts the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story into the shade. In Eng- land he wouldn’fpermit John Bull to give Canada anything in return for the minimum tariff in Toronto he was quite willing—even anxious—ithet Mr. Bull should do something. He is a protectionist wearing a Cobden Club medal. He is inteneely British, with a warm friendship for the Unite@States. He gives Britain especial induc ts tosellin the Canadian markets, andisonthe eve of a trip to Washington t6#ee if he cannot induce Uncle Sam to take away a portion of the Canadian trade from England. He is Montreal’s friend and Quebec’s enemy, and he is QUWéBee’s friend and Montreal’s enetay. Ove part of his anatomy belongs to Britainand another to France. He is everything to everybody, He isa humbug.”

WINDSOR FIRE—CHURCH FUND.

From the Atlanticto the Pacific tle people have been moved to feelings cf sympathy, by reports that have cume wo | them that the once beautiful town of | Windror, N. 8., now lies in ashes, as a result of that fatal fire on Sunday,Oct 15th which destreyed about two miilion dollars worth of property.

No person can fully conceive the utter desolation of the town, unless like our- se! ves, he passed over theruins. All that is ®t of the Presbyterian and Methodist and Baptist churches, as also of the co'tage homes and palatial residences cf nearly three thousand people, are the chimueys that stand as ip @ cemetery.

Ou: sympsthies heave not ended in sen- timental expressions, but food, clothi:g and money have been forwarded to relieve the people. Sball we now be satisfied with what we bave done, or ehali we still come to the rescue ?

The noble people of Windsor are taking

monuments

freshi heart, and are planning, as far as po sible, to rebuild their homes and ynsiness places, and they have also decid- ed (o attempt to rebuild the churches; but inder the circumstances the pastors and people feel themselves inadequate to wssume this additional expense. Just think of it: one hundred and three Bap- tists, nipety-seven Method.sts, aud seventy-

tive Présbyterian families were rendered homeless and many of them penniless

As we have been privileged to hold Union Evangelistic Meetings for fourteen years with the Methodist, ‘Presbyterian and Bapti-t Churches from coast to coast, and as we conducted Union Meetings in these churches of Windsor a few months ago, it if most suitable that we should make an appeal to the members and friends of these churches. Here we have a most fitting opportunity to carry out the in- junction, “Bear ye one another's burdens, and so falfilthe law of Christ.”

Will not the church loving people, al! over the Dominion, help the friends at Windsor to secure a church home? We believe they will.

That thousands may have the privilege of aiding this deserving people, we, on behalf of the pastors and churches, most earnestly request that every generous- hearted person Shall send one dol!ar, or more, 10 at least one of these churches. Let the Baptists, Methodists, and Presby- terians emulate one another in sending contributions.

As we sit in our homes. and churches on Sabbath, let us think how we should fee! if we were homeless and churchless, and then On Menday mail our letiers contain- ing our contributions, and so, “do unto Others as we would that they should do to a8.” | Peay

LETTER FROM tHE PASTORS,

We and our beloved people feel as did Nehemiah, as we behold the desolation of our town and think that our churebes are burned with fire,

Weare gratful :oour ¢ iends, Hunter and Crossley, tor the accompanying plan they inaugurated, and shall be very thankful to those who may respond to this urgent call.

We know that many appeals are made to your generosity, but assuredly our call from Windsor is one of the most urgent of the century.

We might say that after the church debt is deducted from the insurance money, each church will require about ten thous- and dollars to erect suitable church and Suuday-scbhool buildings.

May the God of all grace richly reward everyooe who shall help to rebuild the House of God.

Henry Dicks, Pastor of Presbyterian Church.
