Canada's Temperance Law.

Canada is blessed with new Tenn
perancc law, a great improvement on
any licensing laws we have in the
United States, and is called the DOmin-
ion License Law. 1t does not in any
ay abro:,ato or set aside the Scott act
Ly which a county, if it so elects, may
SECURE absolute prohibition, but it APP
plies simply and only to localities de-
s:ring license. To such it says, you
may have one license to every five hum
d ced inhabitants; YOU may not sell to
minors, drunkards, nor between She
hours of seven p. m. on Saturdays till
Six a. m. on Mondays. 1t also forb:ds
the issuing of licenses to grocers or any
other than actual liquor-shops; and all
existing licenses of this character are
arranged to lapse within a limited pc
riod This law is uniform throughout
the Provinces Heretofore Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick, Manitoba and the rest
have had their own particular license
laws. Now all over the Dominion one
third of the taxpayers are necessary to
petition for a dram-shOp license, and
when issued its conditions are every
where the same. 1t is regarded by
thoughtful Temperance people as great
gain in legislation, as it will reduce the
number of licenses nearly one-half in
some of the provinces and will shorten
the hours of sale, closing the saloons at
eleven p. m. on week days and entirely
on Sundays. The hotels are also pro-
hibited from opening their bars on Sun
DAYS. and no guest can be furnished
liquors in his room. The law simply
allows the supplying of liquors at two
principal meals of the day, and then
only in the dining-room. Our neighbors
over the border ale vastly in advance
of us. Their great northwestern terri
tory, where a mounted force of 800
soldiers is kept for the protection of the
Indians on reservations against tho
frontier whisky-dealcr, is a standing
army of reproach to us who on our own
borders wink ihdifferently and even
quizzically at the violations of executive
orders in behalf of the Nations wards.

character. Of these, 1904 have served
their time in various State prisons; q
665 have been confined in county prisons;
l, ,759 have been ''cOOled off''in the sta
ton houses; leaving 1,616 of the num-
Der who have thus far been able to
elude the vigilance of the police.
The liquor shops of New York City,
if placed side by side, would complete

from the Battery to Kings Bridge.
There are twenty-nine places where
liquors are retailed, not including drug
stores, on five consecutive blocks in
the best portion of Sixth avenue; and
Sixth avenue has fewer liquor stores
than any business avenue in New York
City.
Of 80. .S37 criminals in Germany, in
1891, 43.9 per cent of the males, and
1s.1 per cent of the females, committed
their offense while in state of alco-
hOlism.
In Massachusetts, from official re-
ports, it is shown that there Is de-
crease of 81 per cent. in the number OF
cases of drunkenness where prohibition
is now the rule, an increase of 90 per
cent in the number of cases of crime,
and 14O per cent. in the number of cases
of intoxication, where liquor is allowed
to be sold.
The United States Commissioner for
Education. in his report says 80 to 80
per cent of criminals connect their
course of crime with intemperance.

chusetts State prisons, -, 396, or "a per

county and municipal prisons in Con

to the habit of drinking.
Ninety-three per cent. of those con-
fined in the Deer Island House of In

In Philadelphia, last year, thirty-four
murders were each traceable to intem-
perance, and twentv-Onc assaults with
intent to kill proceeded from the same
cause.
OF over 3S,O persons arrested in
Philadelphia last year, Is per cent.
were caused by intemperance; OF 800
persons committed to city prisons. more
than two-thirds were the consequence
of intemperance.
In the children's hospital in New
York City there were committed, in
1880, 1SO for drunkenness, who took
with them their nursing infants.
Within the last twenty years our
teachers have increased from % to 30
per cent. and pupils attending school,
more than so per cent, yet crime has
increased 60 per cent, about keeping
pace with the increase of the traffic in
liquors.
Judge Noah Davis. of New York,
states, that in an experience of twenty
five years on TIE bench, he has found
three-t tfths of all cases of violence to be
directly traceablc to strong drink.
Judge Allison says: "In our criminal
courts, we can trace four-tifths of the
crimes that are committed. to the intlu-
ence of rum There is not one case in
twenty where man is tried for his life
in which rum is not the direct or indi-
rect cause of the murdcr.-4Hrs. Eliza

SALOON DRUNKENNESS An orator
in Iowa claims that prohibiting the
saloons only creates drunkenness in the

A Stage Over 4 California Prccipice.

The stace-coach which runs daily
between Santa Barbara and Los Alamos
was wrecked the other afternoon about
ten or twelve miles from this city. The
grade from the mOuntain-top to GOlcta
is steep and intricate winding in and
out and round all sorts of ugly corners
and projecting rocks till the road
merres into the plain by the seaside,
The stage southwark bound started
from san Marcus Pass about three
o clock 1t was driven by William But
teriield, who bears the reputation OF
being one of the most careful and relIa-
BILE drivers in California. There were
only two passengers on the stage, and
these were inside, having been directed
by the driver to get inside to balance
the coach going down the grade. They
had ridden with the driver up the
mountain. and reluctantly climbed INTO
the coach to make the descent of the
mountains.
Soon after leaving a steep, rocky
named slippery Rock and where
the descent is at an angle of forty-fve
degrees. with sheer fall of PERCEPTIONS
rocks of fully two hundred feet on one
side, one of the lead horses became I'M
manareabln and started to run. But
terfieid did his best to hold in his team.
The brakes were put on tight. and. as
the horses commenced to go at reck-
less. break-neck speed down the crook
ed, rocky, narrow incline. the driver
realized the impossibility of stopping
them. There were several miles OF a
steep grade below, and it was narrow,
rocky and crooked. To stay on the
stage was to go over a precipice and be
dashed to pieces. Having decided that
the stage could not be sayede Butterticld
shouted to the two passengers inside to
..iump out and save your lives At
the same time the driver dropped lines
and whip and sprang from his seat upon
the rocky bank on the off side OF the
team, One of the passengers jumped
and landed all right. but the other one
in jumping sprained his right foot and
ankle, and reopened an ofd wound upon
his left leg.
The stage minute after went over
nrecfpce into chasm on the. kcft of the
road about two hundred feet deep. The
Jerk with which it went over broke the
couplings from the two lead horses.
which went galloping down the road
unhurt. The wheel horses were drag
backward by the stage-coach. and went
all together to the bottorhs1t the precI-
nice. THE stage was badly wrecked, :,
and the baggage reduced to small
pieces Singular TO relate. the tive

stage were found among the wreck al

DRINK AND CRIME.

The following facts, CLEANED from
the various reports at hand, tell their
own story without need of addition OF
comment:
In 1881 ther. were SO, 631 criminals
arrested. of whom 81, ,O57 were males;
and 1914 were females. OF the males,
1906 were arrested for intOXicatiOn,
and an additional 5,439 for being drunk
and disorderly. OF the females, 6,S51
were arrested for intoxication, and an
additional 1928 for being drunk and
disorderly, making the total number OF
incbriates arrested 2S.669, which is
more than two -fifths the whole number
of arrests.
Besides the number arrested, there
were 12O. .6S3 INDECENT persons lodged in
the statiOn-houses; more than 80 per
cent of whom were compelled to seek
lodgings there by reason, directly or in
directly, of the liquor-traffic. The
males thus seeking lodgings numbered
81 1905: the females, 62,778. This is a
number equal to One-twelfth the entire
population of the city.
The cost of maintaining the police
force for the purpose of attempting to
"cure' what should be prevented -
was S2S0,053.
The cost of the various courts made
necessary by reason OF the traffic IN
liquor. in New York City alone, reached
the sum of $2.OO0,OOO.
The expenditure of the Department
of Public Charities and Correction for
