THE AVIS.
0ari8t3ansted, ST, &e0%I,
Saturday, Bird April, 1899.

One of the speakers on the Excise ques-
ton at the meeting of the Colonial Coun-
ell on Monday said that he did not be-
lieve in the kind of morality that was pro-
duced by compulsion, and be illustrated
his position by the case of q man shut up
in q cell in which q bottle of spirits. had
been placed on a shelf far above his reach
and with no means at hand for reaching
it. Such q man, he said, might be full Of
craving for the drink, but yet 60 with
out, simply because he could not get it.
He (the speaker) could see no morality in
that.
Neither can we. That was why, in our
comments on this question in the AuiS Of
oath March, we spoke of "an improvement
in social conditions, not in morality. We
presume that nobody will question that
excess in the use of alcohol creates bad,
sometimes indeed truly awful, social oondl-
lions. Happily, most families know very
little of this evil, but where the demon OF
drink has entered the house, unspeakabIe
sadness has come too. Fortunate are those
who have only a short visit from this
monster, happy indeed are they to see him
go, although often trembling at the same
time lest he should return.
Is it too hard to say that a man who
gives way to drink is a nuisance? If 1T
would save any such, or anyone who feels
that he is sliding down the hill that leads
to the brow OF the precipioe, nothing
would be too hard to say,
Neither, on the other hand, would any
words be too kind or too encouraging, If
they might help to set even one of our
stumbling brothers on his feet and glvc
him a chance to attain to that u~nsurpassa-
BILE JOY, a great moral victory.
The mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,
children, who suffer, what would they not
give to see a change? Do we not often
see advertisements Of cures for this terri
Bile habit? Advertisements that hint hat
the remedy may be given without detec-

TORONTO, Ont. April 27-The To-

bers recognize the value of extending
the commercial field and multiplying
opportunities for selling and buying.
But they realize also the impossible
ity of spreading enlightened opinions
in the night OF economic ignorance IN
which our neighbors are enveloped.
When people think IL is profitable TO
sell abroad at loss and Injurious TO
buy abroad a: a profit II is OF but little
use holding commercial negotiations
with them.
1t is the .choolmaster and the mis-
sionary they need, not the practical

Canadian products from the United

/ Vote TO STRIKE
vDte Thus Far Counted Shows Five
lights Of Men Decided To Reject
Lake Carriers Terms.

CHICAGO, April 27.--It was stated
unofhc ially today by the officers OF the
Lake Seamen's union that the mem
beers OF the union had voted TO strike
rather than accept the terms OF the
Lake Carriers association. Officials
declared, however. that the vote 70
strike is not overwhelming aLd that
only about five-eighths OF the men
voted TO strike.
This statement was based on re-
turns SO far counted.
President Olander and other of-
ficjals of the union worked Oh the
LOCAL returns until early this morn
Ing and returned TO headquarters
shortly before noon TO continue the
count.
They estimate that OF the member
ship OF 5000, between $500 and 5000
voted. In Chicago. out of member
sfiip OF 1920, about 600 votes were
cast.
President Oknder says this Is fair
representation OF the union. inasmuch
as large percentage Of the men are
az work on other jobs and could not
get to the polls. He thought between
fpe-eighths and threefourths OF the
votes cast were in favor of strike.
The cout is progressing rapidly. and
Olander said he thought 1t would DC
