When the tax on newspapers, pro.
posed by Mr.. PIrr in 1899, was under
discussion in the House of Commons,
Mr.. DRAKE said that he disIiked the
tax, and Would oppose i, from a mo-
tive Of gratitude. ''rhe gentlemen
concerned in writing for them had
been particularly kind to him: they
had made him deliver many well-shd-
pen speeches, though he was convin-

his whole life" Globe.
This reminds us of story once told
Of u certain member of the Ohio Lee

cal honesty, or intelligence. He had

was the question. After brooding o.
yer the subject one day in his sent, he
addressed q brother member thus
How comes it, Mr.. ---, that you,
and some other members, contriye to
have such ine speeches printed in the

REV. BIsHoP HopKISs. SIN; Your
sixth objection is so vague and ldslinc,
of such general aud yet no application,
confused aud confusing, that scarce
know how to reply to it. And ! think
that any unprecedented mind by reading
your remarks upon it must come to the
same conclusion. The first part Of it is
"that il the Temperance Society cannot
DO relied on as remedy against wee" |
suppose you would not have US underslan
you here as meaning all vice, but tee wee
of inlcmperance. If you did mean all
vice why should you attach thu, to it that
it never designed to operate against But
you meant the specific vice of habit that
produces drunkenness, why not state it,
that you might not mislead' 1t seems
