Premier points out that though . major
ity of the votes thrown were In favor Of
prohibition, they only represented one
fifth OF the total electorate, much too
small In his opinion 10 justify the intro
duotion Of prohibitory measure. The
Prohibitionists are very wroth over his
attitude, and the Alliance has been called
together to consider what action shall be
taken. It probably makes little difference
to the cause of temperance whether the
bill is INTRODUCED or not, for II 1t we're
introduced and passed II would accom-.
plish very little with the people 30 In.
different as the plebisclte showed them
to be. Mr.. Laurier's real reason for not
introducing the bill Is undoubtedly that
1t would ALLEVIATE the Quebec members
who make up the majority OF bis support
ers and without whose votes his ministry
could not exist. The province Of Quebec,
1t will be remembered, gave Q heavy ma
iority against prohibition.

THE CITY ELECTION

Republicans of Astoria can elect the
entire republican city ticket next We'd
Hesday if they see fit If the ticket is
defeated or any part Of it the defeat
will be owing to republican apathy or
republican opposition.
II may be claimed by some that a
municipal election is not an important
Gne and party lines need not be regard
ed. But 70 the man who ars candI-
dates ON the republican ricket, Wed
nesday's aleoaon is important. No
man desires defsat. even n the small
est matter. and thsre can be no good
answer II friends Of defeated candi-
dates next June see fit 70 argue then
in favor Of the principle Of indepen-
dence and against too strict adhesion
To party lines.
Probably few Of the candidates on
the republican city ticket rally de-
sire the Offices for which they arr nom
mated. Most Of them only consented
to run after much earnest urging on
the part of promiaelt party leaders.

 The records of the Massachusetts Historical Society show that 226 Brit ish soldiers fell at the battle of Bunker Hill, most of whom are supposed to have been buried on the Common The men who fell were members of the Eighteent Royal Irish and the Twcnty-ttird Royal Welsh Fusileers The former regiment. although it suf- fered heavy losses. captured Bunker Hill in the final charge.
 The monument will be in fhe shape of an Irish cross of bronze with q halO around it. mounted on pink granite with gray granite base.

EFFECTS OF PROSPERITY.
Its Magic Power Strikingly Illustrated
 in the History of Kansas.

Does properity mako people mere re-
 ligious? Perhaps nct, but surely it
 makes them more liberal and less given to whiskers, stump speeches, and
 populism. For several years Kansas suffered sorely. Drought, grasshoppers, cyclones, overripe mortgages, and the poor were always with her, and cut of this witches caldron came a lObsccuse or succotash called Populism
 The cyclones, grasshoppers, droughts Overripe mortgages. and the poor in creased and multiplied and populism pros2ered; and jCining in the bonds of wedlock with politics. Broughs forth a progeny of Sockless Simpsons, hirsute Peffers, and host of uncanny shapes and strange voices indigenous to the steppes and IIanos and unknown to sylyicoline haunts But a season came when Aeolus kept his winds shut up in his cave, Jupiter Pluvius sccurg- ed away the drought and an unpfe- cedented crop of dollar wheat was raised. The banks were full of money and refused more; farmers paid off their mortgages and had money left; the poor found themselves comfortable. ana the VClce or the pCpu1St was no longer heard in the land. He was out of harmony with his surroundings Prosperity was a Iaguna into which he had fallen over head and ears The present was proof against his attacks, and when he essayed the role of pro phet of future evil his vaticinations were scorned by a riotously ridentpub- lie
 Another strange thing has happened No sooner had the calamity ilowler dis appeared then the Kansan became either religious or generous, CT both; and from Lynn, Mass, comes the an- nouncement that Kansas was awarded two banners by the National Christian UniCn meeting in session there, for the largest proportional amount of col lections for the missionary fund for the year
 Casusits may twiddle with these facts and confuse those who listen to them with their whirligig verticfty, but the honest philosopher will conclude that PCpulism and hard times go hand in hand; that prosperity is the hand maid of piety, and that populism and piety are the modern Ahriman and Ormuzd that are forever battling for supremacy.
