1t is known and asserted by eminent authorities
that in minerals Nova Scotia is surpassed by no
other section of equal area in the world Its agri-
cultural Importance is already well established and
its advantages for grazing which utilized more
and more each year, will soon place Nova Scotia
among the foremost cattle and sheeprasing coun-
tries In the world. With this knowledge, together
with the fact known by several Boston capitalists
that the network of railroads of the West and
especially the Great Canadian Pacific SYSTEM were
seeking an Eastern terminus from which they could
reach the markets of Europe by the shortest pos

A Newspaper Clipping.

Twas a clipping from the paper
Telling Of some funny caper
On the stage;
SO read IL every letter,
Saying that I'd seen no better
For an age.
Then turned the clipping over
with no purpose to discover
What was there;
But In smiling contemplation
or the humorists creation,
Rich and rare.
As looked know started,
And the smile from lips departed,
For saw,
Printed there in uncut column.
Notices of death, sad, solemn,
Full of awe.
SO, thought come grief and pleasure,
Melted out with equal measure;
You may laugh,
For some other one is wailing,
For the tear is smiles unfailing

not ultimately be adopted as the organic
law of the nation
High license has been in force in Eng
land for several hundred years. The
abuses became so great that in 1877 the
House of Lords appointed select COM
mittee to inquire whether the system had
been effective in diminishing drunkenness,
and whether reform could best be secured
by amendments or by a radical change.
To the first proposition the answer was in
the negative; to the second they replied by
vaguely recommending certain expert
ments, none of which they approved
Observation of the results of license,
both in this country and in Great Britain,
leads irresistibly to the conclusion that it
is not successful as means of overcoming
the evils of intemperance. Nothing can
DE said in favor of the saloon, whethel
licensed or unlicensed. To raise revenue
by authorizing the sale of that which
debases ard pauperizes the people, is both
Improbable and immoral, and therefore
lndefensible.
Prohibition is right in principle, but
total prevention of.the use of Intoxicating
liquors is obviously impossible SO long as
they are permitted to be manufactured for
any purpose. The real question then is,
which of two methods, both Intellectual to
prevent the use, is the better to prevent
the abuse Of alcoholic drinks, and relieve
the individual and society from the evils
of intemperance,
From comparison of the results in
Kansas with those existing elsewhere, the
conclusion is irresistibly in favor of prohibi-
ton. 1t can be efficiently and successfully
enforced. 1t does not retard the growth
nor injure the resources of the people. Its
operations practically cease with the clos
ing of the saloons leaving personal liberty
unimpaired. 1t exonerates the state from
completely and participation in the most
formidable agencies of its own destruction.

lists is the alleged increased expenses of
maintaining courts, causing higher rate
of taxation where the policy of prohibition
prevails
Shawnee county, of which Topeka is
the county seat. has but one court, the
superior court, having discontinued afte,
it had accomplished the work for which il
was created, to-wit: clearing up the
docket of old cases that accumulated,
many of them, long before we had pro-
hibition. Under our laws, all expenses of
courts are paid out of what is called the
general revenue fund; also officers salaries
keeping of prisoners in Jail, and all other
current expenses
There are but two funds from which ex-
penses connected with the enforcement of
law can be paid. The salaries of the
judges are paid out of the state general
revenue fund, and the court costs, witness
fees and keeping of prisoners are drawn
from the county general revenue fund
Whatever tax is outside of these funds is
purely local. and cannot be raised or
lowered by an increase or diminution of
CRIME or pauperism. Voting bonds to
railroads, for school houses, to build
bridges, ETC.. increases the rate of tax

we have learned the following facts re.

I'm Leavenworth county the saloons
were closed in March, 1857. In 1886
there were thirty-six persons sent to the
penitentiary; in 1887, thirteen; and during
the first half of 1883, five
I'm Atchison county, in 1855, twenty
three persons were sent to the penitentiary
for crimes. In January, 1886, all the sa-
looms in that county, sixty in number,
were closed. During 1886 the number OF
persons sent to the pententiary was but
thirteen; in 1887, but six, and in the first
half of 1888, but one person.
In Ford county, including Dodge City,
the saloons were closed in the fall of 1886.
In 1886, foorteen persons were sent to the
penitentiary; in 1887 six, and during the
first half of 1885, two.
There are at present 1o4 less persons
in the penitentiary than one year ago.
The jails of the state are practically
empty
The average of convicts is one-third
less than four years ago.
I'm four years of prohibition, grand
larcency has decreased IS per cent, and
crimes against persons have decreased rs
per cent.
There is today one pauper to every
1850 persons In 1880, the last year of
the dramshop act. there was one pauper to
every $50 persons There is not barrel
of bonded liquor in the state, and there is
not distillery in the state.
I'VE look upon the above facts, vouched
for by such high authority, as a strong
argument in favor of loans in state ad-
vancing SO rapidly in moral as we'll as
