Nobody not hopelessly preiudiced will
deny a certificate Of character to these de-
serving vegetables. But do they conduce
to peace, and are they e~mblemstio Of peace2
Olives ought TO accompany peace, and the
lying down Of the lamb inside OF the man
or woman at the banquet or barbecue
might be another emblem Of peace. 1t Is
true that the pIgeon-llvered quality of tho
lamb fails to be transmitted to the eater OF
the lamb, but after suflciens lamb or NUT
ton or beef or any other meat, ~whoquarrels?
The c%arnivorous mar may DO drowsy at the
end Of his feast, but he bears q peaceful
mind. He will quarrel with no other mans
ideas about diet. He decent care q pin
what anybody else eats, rice or crocodile
steaks, honeydew or blubber. Whereas our
vegetarian friends are not content with
regulating their own diet. They want to
superintend their brothers bill Of fare.
Instead Of peace, a vegetarian banquet Is
sure to bring an attack upon the wickedness
Of the c~arnivorous. In some cases the bell
ligerent effect Of a vegetable diet goes
further. Who could be more militant, for
instance, than that earnest vegetarian, Mr..
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW OF Dondon2 After
disposing Of a few carrots he will assault
who never saw him In his
life and never said a word against him.
Col. DAvID's high old Roman barbecue
should be allowed to proceed. Jubilee can
not be kept satisfactorily on prunes. cauli-
and tomatoes.

Prohibition in Canada.

Next Thursday the voters OF Canada will
answer the following question, which is
submitted to them in accordance with the
terms of a bill passed by the Dominion Par
lament:
Are you in favor Of the passing Of an Actprohibit-
ing the importation, manufacture or sale Of spirits,
wine, ale, beer. cider. and all other alcoholic liquors
for use rs beverages2
Prohibition amendments to State Consti-
buttons have been voted upon In various
American States. but there never has been,
and probably never will be in this country
at any one time such a broad expression
OF the feeling of the nation as to prohibition
as will be had in Canada next week.
Amending the Constitution of the United
States Is admitted by most persons except
universal reformers and cranks to be a hard
job, but our friends the Drys still live In
hope OF a prohlbitory Constitutional amend
ment. They are looking with interest and
even with a virtuous envy upon tho oppor-
tunity OF the Canadians.
The liquor prohibitionists have long been
strong In the Dominion, outside OF the
provinces OF Quebec and British Columbia.
The other provinces have been In favor of
prohibition and have given large majorities
for 1t. The pro%hibitionists are confident of
carrying their point next week in spite OF
Quebec and British Columbia, and they are
justified In their confidence II the prohl-
bition provinces are as well inclined to gem
eral prohibition as they have shown them
solves to be to local prohibition. The
ardor OF some prohlbltionists may be
chilled however, by consideration Of the

The Boston and tho Raleigh.

Our dispatches from Manila lave made
the important announcement that on Tues
day Of last week the cruisers Boston and
Raleigh left that port on a voyage ito
protect commerce" 1t appears that Ad-
miral DEWEY had received reports that
insurgent vessels were "seizing Spanish
coast towns and property" while a fur
Their cause Of anxiety was in regard to
the conduct Of the native crews on the
Spanish vessels, of which fully q score had
been transferred to the American flag, most
Of them being already away on coasting
voyages.
Another significant announcement was
that the British war vessel Rather had zone
TO Cebu in consequence of a rumor that the
Insurgents were attacking that place and
Ioilo. The Rather is q gunboat not so
large as our Petrol. Iloilo is an important
port in Panay, one of the central islands Of
the Philippine group, while Cebu, also in
that region, is the island which, according
to Lieut.. SIMMs, our naval attache at Paris,
was the most favorably reported upon by q
German engineer who had been testing the
coal deposits on the different islands to see
which was the best. This report was for
warded to Berlin by the German Admiral
commanding in the Philippines.
In sending the Boston and the Raleigh
ito protect commerce." Admiral DEWEY
will be able not only to look after the in
terests Of the coasting vessels that have
placed themselves under our flag, but to
look after the reported ravages by lnsur-
gent craft upon coast towns. In furnishing
this security he may forestall action which
British and German vessels might other
wise feel compelled to take, with a view to
protecting their own resident traders. Ad-
miral DEWEY perfectly understands the re-
sponsibility which we nave already accepted
in the Philippines. and he will be alert to
fulfil our obligations as well as to protect
American interests.

Prunes and the Chicago Jubilee.

The Chicago peace jubilee, which is to be
held In October, first aroused suspicion In
the bosom OF the Hon. JOHN PARDON Alt
GELD, who believed it to be a base partisan
scheme and tempestuously demanded that
1t be postponed until after the election,
Mi. ALroELD impressed his fears upon
the Illinois Democratic State Committee.
but the Hon. CARTER HARRISON and most
OF the other Chicago Democrats refused to
be frightened IN to postpone. Now from
q much more peaceful source comes q cry
of protest against the dinner and barbecue
that are to be a part of the jubllations.
The barbecue Is to be a weighty meal. Col.
WILLIAM WEST DAVID, barbecuer-inchief.
proposes to feed from 80, 900 to 10000
persons at the barbecue, and the estimates
OF the supplies of provisions that will be
needed to satisfy the holiday hunger are
impressive. Col. DAVID wants 8 c, 900 to
$4,000 pounds Of mutton, 10000 to 24,ooo
pounds OF pork, 5000 to 5000 pounds of
beef, and 80 on. Honor his acquisitions
upon the pantry and he promises to fur
nish "the grandest barbecue since the DAYS
OF the Roman Empire"
But the triumphs Of the Roman Empire
are not to be repeated without protest. The
publication OF the lists OF animals to be sac
ritced has made the devotees Of vegetarian
lam snin. The vegetarian societies feel that
It Is their duty to rebuke this plan of i'm
perial carnivorousness. A committee is to
call upon the directors of the Jubilee and
implore them not to contsminate the festi-
val with the blood OF sheep. hogs and beef
critters. An enthusiastic vegetarian wo-
man goes so far as TO say that prunes, cauli-
flower and tomatoes are the only proper
symbols OF peace.
Far be 1t from us to say a word against
prunes, cauliiower. and tomatoes. Prunes
aEo believed to have a healthful influence.
ilbeit there are persons on whom their
flavor pals. Cauliiower seems to be cab
bage disguised under a lowery name.
TOAnRtoes have become the staff OF life in
many houses and restaurants, and 1t is now
practically impossible to escape eating
them In some form or otbs: every day.

increase Of taxation which will DO made
neceesary by the overthrow Of the license
system, the increase Of the debt on account
OF compensation to tho persons whose bust
ness would be destroyed by a general pro
htbltion law, and the considerable displaoe-
ment Of labor that would follow.
Some Canadians may think It curious
that any large number Of them should OPP
pose prohibition. The famous "Scott law, "A
system OF local option under which prohibit
ton existed legally in a good many Cana
dian counties md In some OF the cities, was
not enforced. In fact, prohibition in a pro-
hibition county In Nova Scotia or Ontario
was much like prohibition in Maine and
Vermont. The prohlbitionists had the law
and the other fellows had the liquor, and
laughed at the law. A general law and the
prohibition Of manufacture would seem to
give the prohibitionists a better chance,
but 1t requires an uncommonly sanguine
temperament to believe that rum can be
kept out OF a country Of the size Of Canada.
To watch the interior and the seacoasts and
the American border would be a job for
such a host Of constables and spies as Can
adians would hate to pay for.
Sir WIDFRID LAURIER now fulfls as
leader Of the Government the promise
which he made as leader of the opposition.
He promised that II his party came into
power the people should lave an opportu-
nifty to vote IN prohibition.

now. since active warfarolhas ceased. and the people
are again able to enjoy quiet. there Ia a matter which
merits consideration.

forbidden to be used for advertising purposes,
and rightly. Now the question OF uniform comes
mp. 10 1t right or hitting that the uniform OF any
branch of the sersice should be psrodied and
travestied by commercial housesf Why Is It that In
a country like ours. where the people are supposed
to have judgment and sense enough to make laws.
business houses, railways, liyerymen. and hosts OF
others are allowed to put our uniforms 10 shame by
copying them closely enough to make both original

honestly 70 make our uniforms hailed everywhere
As something high and honorable, and not 10 ~

Pay Cuban Dcbt-Debatc to Stop.

Spanish sovereignty in Cuba must end
forever with the advent Of the new year,
and all Spanish soldiers must be out Of the
island by Jan. /, according TO an ultima
tum that was cabled to Madrid Tuesday.
All Of the Spanish troops that remain in
Cuba after the date named will be subject
to tn, regulation of the American army.
This question and several others Of
equal importance were finally decided at
Al informal cabinet meeting, which was
attended by President Mckinley, Sccres
taries Long, Alger and Hay, and Attorney
General Griggs, which was followed by
the dispatch of warm messages to Madrid
and Paris.
The United States will take possession
of Cuba on Dec. /, and will assume con-
troll Of the custom houses and direct the
civil government. Gen. Blanco will cease
to be chief Of the island, and must busy
himself with the deportation of his troops.
Spain arked to be given until Feb. / to
e%vacuate, but the cabinet decided not to
extend the time beyond this year.
The American peace commissioners Mt
Paris were directed to inform their Span
ish colleagues in unmistakable terms that
1t is useless to discuss The Cuban debt,
which will not be assumed by either this,
country or Cuba. They are to take up
questions that are open to discussion, of
which the disposal of the Philippines is
the most important. 1t is reported that
Spain has agreed to the ccssion of the isl.
and of Guam in the Ladrones.

TRAFFIC POOL ILLEGAL.

uIHdG1Ou a DGatI t1lOWs
The Supreme Court on Monday render
ed an opinion on the so-called Joint Traffic
Association case. which has been pending
over q year. The court by Il vote of five
to three (Justices Gray, Shiras and White)
reversed the findings of the court below
and held against the Joint Traffic Asso-
citation. incidentally the court affirmed
the constitutionality of the antitrust law.
The court also decided two other cases
brought under the antitrust law. These
were the Kansas City Live Stock Asso-
citation cases, which the court below decid-
ed were in restraint of trade. This iudg-
ment was reversed.
The Supreme Courts decision holding
that the Joint Traffic Association was q
combination in restraint of trade and CONF
nlerce, and that the association was lille
gal, means that organization must stop,
transacting the business for which it was
formed or else must operate. on entirely
new lines. The case is considered one Of
the most important that has ever come
before the Supreme Court. The associa-
ton was formed Nov. 10, 1895, by thirty
one railways, representing the great trunk
lines and their network Of branches. The
purpose of the association, as stated in the
articles of agreement, was ito establish
and maintain reasonable and just rates.
fares and regulations on State and inter.
