A KosY view on CANApA.

BIRMINGHAM, Dec. 5.-LOrd LOrne de-
livered long lecture here last evening
upon Canada and its products. He par
ticularly praised the salubrity of the
climate, and said fevers which were too
common in the United States, were un-
known within the boundaries of the
Dominion. tie lauded Canada as field
for emigration, and expatiated upon
the marvellous progress made by the
various towns. He concluded by saying
the Canadian people are thoroughly de-
voted to the mother country, otherwise
they would long ago have discarded
their allegiance, of which they are
proud. With the Dominion of Canada
and Australian colonies in close rela
tiOns, England need never fear her proud
position in the world will be shaken
or questioned.

Prohibition and Politics.

The prohibitionists of Ohio held con-
vention at Columbus and nominated a
straight-out prohibition ticket for state
officers. The platform condemns and de-
nounces the policy of the democrats and
republicans alike on the subject of tenn
perance, and proposes that the prohibi-
tionists of the state, as distinct and in
dependent party, shall fight and conquer
both OF these parties and take the luan-
agement of the affairs of the state into
their own hands. The single issue which
they make relates to the temperance ques-
ton, considered with reference to the pest
way OF putting an end to the admitted
evils Of intemperance. What, In the light
OF the facts just as they exist in Ohio,
they are to gain for the cause of temper
ance by this movement is more than we
can tell. The democrats of Ohio, as a
party, constitute the rum party in that
state, and expect in the pending campaign
to be supported by the whole liquor inter.
est of the state. If they win the day,
they will not only do nothing Tor temper
ance, but will 60 in for free rum without
taxation or restraint of any kind. The
republicans OF that state, on the other
hand, believe in restricting the liquor
traffic by an effective license system and
making it pay tax for the support of
the state government and in giving the
legislature full power to legislate on the
subject. There is a very WIDE difference
between these two creeds and the latter,
even If not the best that can be conceived,
is UNNECESSARILY superior to the former.
One or the other of these creeds, and not
that of the prohibitionists at all, will be
the practical policy of the state. Now,
because we are in favor of temperance and
desire to do everything in our power to
promote it in OHIO and everywhere else,
we regret the action of the Ohio prohibi-
tionisGs, and, if living in that state, would
not vote for their ticket, but would vote
for the republican ticket. They have
done just what the rum party wants them
to do, and what, so far as it has any effect
at all, will contribute to the success of
that party and weaken the only party that
can and will do anything for the cause OF
temperance. We believe in prohibition !;
but not in the sense that would lead us to
throw away half loaf because we cannot
get whole loaf. The prohibitionists in
Ohio are absolutely powerless to do any
thing by law for the cause of temperance,
except as they cooperate with the repub-
hcan party and by refusing this cooper
alton and setting up an independent ticket,
they are simply playing into the hands of
the rum party. If this be practically wise
with reference to temperance, then we
confess frankly that We don't see it.-In.

"Well," replied Zeke, "to tell the
truth, I've given up swearing"

other in the same tone

" l have certainly, Tom, as far as really

"Ill bet case of lager that you will

comment.
"Oh, ! hope not l'' exclaimed Zeke an
almost despairing look coming over his
face.
"Hope not Why don't you say, 1T

just then the foreman returned. Tom

THE FATAL GLASS.

Beware. beware of the fatal glass,
A demon turks within
The poisoned stuff that steals the brains
And causes shame and sin.
The drunkards home, It's desolate place;
Misery, want and starvation
Are some Of the things well known to all
Poor victims Of dissipation.
Men who once possessed intelligence
Have often lost their reason,
And men who once their country loved
Have often thought of treason,
While crazed by the demon alcohol,
And deprived OF their right senses;
All regardless of their sufferings,
And needless Of expenses.
The wife and children OF such men
Who knows what they endure
While trying night and day to keep
The wolf outside their door;
While the father visits daily
The grog-shop and the inn,
To seek solace from the bottle
OF poisoned rum and gin.
Oh, demon and base destroyer
When will thy doom be sealed?
viii the crimes thou hast committed
Ere TO mankind be revealed?
Must we still gaze on in silence.
And not lift a hand TO save
Some poor and hapless victim
From wretched drunkard's grave?
oh, noble sons of temperance,
Ye are doing we'll, no doubt
For your country's name and honor
The enemy to routl
Strive on, each gallant worker
Be victorious in the strife
Save from the awful tempter
Some dear and precious life. -Selectee

THE Arkansas Evangel says that "some
people were very much surprised the
other day to see man convicted and fined
5000 under the special liquor law which
torbids liquor-selling Within two miles of
school or academy The same law also
forbids the sale within two miles of a
church. We used to think of Arkansas
only in close connection with bowie-knives
and their uses but she seems to be get
ting ahead of us in the matter of protect
ing the children who attend her schools
from the wiles of the saloon men.

during his intervals of consciousness.
There was fire in one of the wooden
tenement-houses on Lincoln street this
afternoon, and of course the boy was on
hand. When the building was enveloped
in flames, woman shrieked out that her
baby was in the house, in cradle in the
upper story. She tried to throw herself
into the flames, but two firemen caught
her. This boy seized her shawl. satu-
rated it with water, and before any one
could restrain him, dashed into the burn
ing building. He emerged in a few mo-
ments with the babe in his arms, wrapped
up in the shawl, unhurt, but the boys
clothing was on fire in dozen places, and
he was frightfully burned. lie cannot
