experience of running the Lachine rapids

treal will learn with some interest that
the river steamer St. Francis was sunk
there last Moniay evening She had fifty
passengers, all of whom were safely
landed on an island where they had to
spend the night. We think that notwith-
standing tho apparent hazard of a trip
over these rapids, no passengers have ever

Gov. FOSTER of Ohio makes the tenn
perance question a prominent feature
in his message. He declares intem-
perance has grown to be an oyersbad-
owing evil in that state, where over
$4,000 places exist in which unre-
strained traffic in liquor is carried on
md that this traffic amounts to more
than S70.o00.00o annually. Although
the the constitution does not permit
the licensing of saloons he believes
that instrument would permit tax
on the traffic and that the property
whereon and wherein it is carried on
could be made responsible for such
tax. Gov. Foster fayors constitu-
tional amendment, placing the whole
question subject to legislative control,
rather than prohibition by the fllnda-
mental law. He urges the absolute
closing of all drinking houses on Sun
day. Open saloons on that day he re-
CARDS as greater evil than the traffic
on all the other six.
