Cli’risltixin temperance people of this-village there is much being made in reference to the 'liCcnses .of‘ the various hotels here by our council. This appeared 'in‘ our issue of last‘week in the minutes of council. We therefore submit the following facts for the serious consideration ofsthe- council auditemper- ance people generally :'â€"- .“ In the realm of ethics, the system of High License may be arraigned both on the ground of essential right and of ';moral results. ' I. On the .ground of‘essential- right, «igul' r. ; Always a first-class fit- right to do-wrong.

But when this case is exam- ined, it will be found not to 5be a question of moral right, but of compe- tent- jurisdiction. The entire commu- nity has 'no right to commit murder. ' The great State of New York has no right to put to death the humblest immigrant who does not deserve to die. This reasoning will apply-etc every con- ceivable case, and fully justifies that original proposition that the State has no right to do moral wrong. But to degrade and destroy human beings through the saloon is morally which I will sell ' in" new raters res ease. . to do that moral wrong, because it does as I do not want to carry them over.

The conclusion is inevitable that all who sustain the legalization are sharch in the sin.

It is constantly said that “ The American people will not hear free rum." In other words, it is only the license that induces the peogile to tolerate the traffic.

On Monday the weather, though very pleas- ant, was unfavorable to the formation of good ice, which was worse than at the first camival,~.thongh the managers did their best to have it in first class order. But there was a capital attendance, both from at home and abroad, and the affair was so gratifying a success that it is the the 6th Oflig-llfu‘Clt if thc'weather keep cold enough. The “ Grand March," conducted by M r. Thomas Austin, was a pleasiog‘andimposing sight, and the races on skates were attractive features of? the evening. The first was a twoâ€" milc race, (34 times round the rink) in which the competitors were Thomas Edgar of Bobcaygcon and John Wilson, Thbs. Edwards and Walter Bell of Fcn~ elon Falls. Edgar took the lead at the "start and many thought. he would have an easy victory, but'hc was soon passed by Wilson and retired'from the race at the end of the sixth round. Bell held out until the twenty~fifth round, when he; too, . “caved in,” and Wilson and Edwards took‘thc first and Second prizes; the former beating the latter by exactly one round, though he would have done better if he had not fallen when near the end of the race. The second race was for boys under 13, and was cleverly won by Herbert Deyman, who is a re- markably good and rapid skater for his age. At the carnival in January there were just 50 masqueradcrs on the ice; on Monday there were 76, an increase ol'over 50 per cent. They were as fol- lows :r Mrs; S."Nevison,u “" W. T. Jhnkin, Miss M.

The rather slim attendance at the" social in Dickson‘s hall last Tuesday evening, in aid of the building fund of ‘ St. James's church driving shed, was no doubt. owing to - the unfavorable weather, rain commencing to fall about hclf' past 6 o'clock and lasting,' long; enough to kccpa good many people at home who would otherwise have gono' to the social. After refreshments had' been pat-taken of and Various-quiet." games indulged in for an hour or two, llcv. .‘lr.
