PROHIBITION IN CANADA.

An election will be held in Canada on
Sept. 20 for the purpose of determining
whether or not prohibition shall be en-
forced in the whole of the dominion the
conclusion to be based on the entire vote
of all of the provinces. 1t seems to be
a foregone conclusion that every province
except Quebec, which is the second in
wealth and population in the dominion,
will vote in favor of prohibition. They
have heretofore voted that way and there
is nothing to indicate that there has been
a considerable change of sentiment. Pro-
hibition, however, even in those prov
inces which adopted it has not been a
success. The prohibitionists claim that
the reason is that Quebec has not been
brought under the operations of the law,
and that liquors have been sent from
Quebec into the dry provinces; there
fore they demanded a plebiscite of all the
provinces upon the question of forcible
prohibition upon Quebec.
The Mayor of the city of Montreal, in
a speech delivered a few days ago. de-
clared that Quebec would give a large
majority against the measure, while the
other provinces would give majorities in
its favor. He expressed the opinion that
the government would not dare to put
the law into force in Quebec in the face
of a strongly hostile vote; but the pro-
hibitionists assert that if the majority
vote of all the provinces is in favor of
the law, it must be enforced everywhere
equally, or they will make trouble for the
government.
The outcome will probably be trouble
for the government however the election
may 60 1t is practically impossible to
force prohibition upon a city, community
or province against the will of the people.
This has been seen in numerous Instances;
in Maine, Kansas, South Carolina and
elsewhere. Should the Canadian govern
ment attempt to force 1t upon Quebec,
against the majority of public sentiment,
the law would become but little more
than dead letter upon the books There
might be some outward show of enforcing
it, but below the surface there would be
contempt for the law and numerous
fragrant violations of it. And the existence
and farcical enforcement of laws which
lack the respect of the people tend to
weaken the moral force of laws and
courts of all kinds.

ECONOMICAL FILIPINos.

Agulnaldo has already discovered that
it would not be an easy matter to establish
and maintain an independent government
in the Philippine Islands. The Congress
of the Fnipinos, which has been in ses-
sion some time, shows a very decided dis
position not to levy taxes for the support
of an army. Some of the representatives
in attendance upon the Congress say very
frankly that their constituents do not
want to pay any taxes. In fact, IL is
quite apparent from the advices received
from the Philippines that the people of
some of the provinces do not intend TO
pay any. The Filiplnos know however,
that order cannot be maintained without
an army, and that an army cannot be had
without money, and that the only way for
a government to get money is by means
of taxation. It is suggested by them, in
order to get rid of taxes, that an Ameri-
can protectorate be accepted. Representa-
tives of some of the provinces also say
thai their people will not favor any gov
eminent with which Aguinaldo has any
thing to do.
II is not to be wondered at that, under
the circumstances, the tone Of Aguinaldo
is little more humble than it was a
short time ago. If he saw his way clearly
to control the islands he would give Cen
Otis a great deal more trouble than he has
yet. He is willing now TO obey Gen OTIS
orders because he cannot help himself.
Ii the Fiiipinos Congress refuses 10 pro-
vide money for the insurgent forces Agui-
naldo's army will disappear, in all prob
ability, good while before the Paris
commission decides what the fate of the
Philippines shah be- The objection of the
Fiipinos to taxation may put it out of
the power of Aguinaldo to shape the des
tiny Of the Philippines in any important
particular

The California orange crop, the harvest
ing of which is now about complete. Will.
it is said, be the largest on record, amount
ing 10 some 100000 boxes. Reports to a
New Orleans paper indicate that the Louis
lana orange crop will yield this year about
100000 boxes. Late reports from Florida
shade the prospective output of that state
Some time ago it was thought 10000 boxes
would be gathered, but during the past
week or ten days there have been develop
ments which lead experts to think the out
put will not be so large as that. But little
has been heard of the Jamaica crop
though it is expected to be large If no
hurricane strikes the island.

Louisiana will probably be less affected
by the low price of cotton than any other
cotton producing state. The reason is to
be found in the TACT that louisiana is
not a one-crop state. She produces large
quantities of three great staples, cotton,
rice and sugar, and the markets for two
of them are in fairly satisfactory condi-
ton while the crops for all three are
very large and full. The sugar crop Of
the state promises to be one of the largest
if not the largest, on record, and the out
put OF rice will be above the average.
