into inslgnifcance before this all
important question. It's the rock
upon which all parties split al
most every individual having a
theory in bis. mind, and scarcely
any two coincide in every particu-
lar.
Just now there are several bills
before the House on the subject,
and more are likely to follow. 1t
is seldom that the majority of the
people Of the State agree entirely
on one important question, and
never for long at time.
The Winkler bill conforms more
nearly TO the present dlspensary;
if anything, placing more power
than ever III the "machine." The
obnoxious board Of control is re-
tanned, and in fact most OF the Of
fensive features of the law en-
phasized. Then comes the we'll
advertised Applet bill, which Is
neither more nor less than local
option.
The third bill is that introduced
by Senator Uraydon, Of Abbeville,
which follows pretty closely the
liLe of argument in the Governors
message; and unless another comes
along more in keeping with the
popular idea,. this bill will have a
pretty solid backing. or, at least,
from the merits on the face OF 1t,
we think it deserves more consld.
Grafton than the other two.
At this stage, however, it's I'M.
possible To- predict wilhany degree
of certainty the trend Of popular
opinion. Albeit one thing may be
set down as reasonably certain,
prohibition and local option stand
a poor chance before this leslsia-
ture; and, for the present, at least,
the dispensary is here to stay.

The present Legislature must

gency hospital from his self-inflicted
wounds Macdonald. after killing Nor
ris. cut his own throat and shot him
self near the heart. II was thought he
had q fair chance of recovery, owing
TO his remarkable physique, but he was
determined to die and so informed the
attendants a the hospital.
He was carefully guarded and pre-
vented from inficting any further in
iuries ON himself but for two days he
refused TO take uOurishment as far as
possible and this morning at Z O'Clock
died quietly and without a struggle.
The physicians say death was due
more than anything else to MaCDOn-
AIDS determination not to live. 1t was
a remarkable exhibition of will power.
At the autopsy held over the body
of Macdonald, the coroner found the
immediate cause of death to be COM

shot wounds.
