Editorial Note and Comment â€"The Canada Gazette of Aug. states the writs tor the Plebiscite paign are to be dated Ang. 5., Al returnable Nov. 3, 1898. The â€" on Sep. 29th. â€"Russia and Britain, are, it is said, within measurable distance of strikâ€" ing each other in War. Eneroaghments inâ€"China by Russia are the aggravatâ€" ing cause and there are not wanting ramors that Britain would like snmul plausible excuse to strike a crushing blow at her great rival before the Siberian Railway is completed and the Russian is firmly settled on the Paciâ€" fic. â€" This fear of Russia may work inâ€" jury to Canada, tor in the coming Queâ€" bee conference Britain may be led to yield favors to the States at the exâ€" pense of Cauada, for the sake of securâ€" ing her good will and assistance in the struggle of the near future. Sufficient fur the day is the evil thereof and we hope our Canadian treaty makers are preparing to show a pretty . stiff back bone in their fartherance of Canadian jnterests â€"Bismarck‘s death has called forth more feelings than that of grief. ‘The ‘ strained relations that existed between | the Emperor and the aged statesman | were thought to be well smoothed over, but from the churlish treatment the Emperor and his friends haye received from the tamily, more bitterness is to follow. The younrg monarch tried to show, with great gwenuineness, his grief, His offer of a public mthionul‘ funeral was rejected, the formal notifi cation of the death was sent by the doctor, others by Bismarck‘s son Herbert. _ The latter, when word . avrrived that the Emperor was coming ‘ to yview the remains, hurriedly gave orders to solder down the coffin, though all the doctors testify there was no disfigurement or repulsiveness. An artistsent by the Emperor to take « cast of the featares, was refased the privilege. _ More is to follow. Bis: marck‘s papers and memoirs are soon to be published, and rumor has it that much humiliation is in store for the young Emperor. If he will calmly bear the bitterness of a great man, eyen though a dead one, he will rise in the estimation of the world, and will altimate have his own people clinging more firmly around him. Without doubt a profiund sense of loss has followed the removal of this giant figure, and this is shown nct only by the feeling in Germany but even in Canada and other parts where memorâ€" ial services have been held. "All quiet on the Potomac" was the report of one of the generals in the civil war. "‘All quiet in S. Grey" might almost be said in reference to the campaign which closes on Sep. 29. Ts the silence that of the graveyard, or is it the calm before the storm ? Public sentiment will be tested on the question *‘Are you in favor of the passing of an act prohibiting the imâ€" portation, manufacture or sale of spirits wine, ale, beer, cider, and all other alchobolie liquors for use as beverages." "This sentiment has been already tested in four provinces under condiâ€" tions of doubt as to whether j urisdiction rested with the Dominion or the Proâ€" vince, ard notwithstanding this drawâ€" back, the following result was achievâ€" ed : For _ Against Prohibiâ€" Prohbibiâ€" tion. tion. 1894â€"Ontrrio....... 192497 110,657 1894â€"Noya Seotia. .. 43,156 12355 1893â€"Prince Ed.

Nearly two to one under adverse conditions; more will be expected now when uncertainty has been reâ€" moved. The educative effect of these camâ€" paigns has not been lost, and a more matured public sentiment will, we beâ€" lieye, speak out still more plain‘ly aâ€" gainst & traffic which is proving & eurse to so many. The difficalty of enforcing a prohibiâ€" tory law over the Dominion with thousands of miles of contignous terriâ€" tory, will not be small : the raising of the revenut from other sources than liquor will present many difficulties, but that is for the government to see t,, our legislators are expected to face difficulties in putting the will of the people into practice. ‘The point for the people now is to yote on the question THE PROHIBITION ISSUE. se @4 ~â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"*â€" has called forth t of grief. The existed between aged statesman ‘ Aug. 6th, iscite camâ€" 5., and are The voting 132,150 on its moral bearings, they are invited | to do so by the government who will | have to provide for its passage into law if carried, and the time between |â€" now and polling day‘is not too short to get posted. What will the churches do? The movement is so distinetly a moral one that they cannot afford to be antagonâ€" istie. The testimony of conferences, Synods and Assemblies every where is that the liquor traffic is a hindrance to Christian work. â€" The testimony of our law courts and criminal assizes bears cut this opinion, the record of ruined lives, of blightea ‘hopes and blasted homes appeals, or should apâ€" peal, with a prevailing foree to all church members who do not wish to | shelter themselves behind the com. | plaint of Cain, ‘‘Am I my brother‘s | keeper?" i 1 _ Meansare needed to conduct a camâ€" | paign such as this, and already liberâ€" : | a1 contributions are being made to colâ€" | lectors, or are being sent direct to the : | the County Treas. K. MacFarlane, Jr., ; or to the Secy. Rev. Mr. Kitching. This money will be expended for litâ€" ‘cmturc, Lecturers, &e., as the execuâ€" tive committee may determine. "Little remains to be 10I0G ICRLUIED . the peace negotiations which were enâ€" tered into two weeks ago between the governments of the U. States and Spain. The Spanish reply to the terms has been sent and is described as a digniâ€" ‘ fied document. _ It declares it cannot discuss American proposa!s but only accepts them because imposed by force. It asserts that Spain bows to the torce of cireamstances, having done nothing to provoke the war into which she has been unwillingly led in the defence of her rights and territories. _ There is something pathetic in thus ‘ seeing A highâ€"minded nation relinâ€" quishing territory she has owned and occupied since its discovery over 400 years ago, by the stern compulsion of war. All the more pathetic because it is the last of the great areas on this continent over which Spain spread herâ€" self with a wonderful vitality 300 yrs, ago But while it is pathetic, the lesson is plain. â€" The life of a nation is not the lite of a man, aud the trust she assumâ€" ed centuries ago having been abused, she has had lesson after lesson in the loss of that territory, till at last the end has come, and strangely enough the strongest power on the continent she en n on +ho acent in her strongest power on the continent once owned has been the agent in final expulsion. For expelled she is to be. 3 1 TS a For expelled she is to be. . Porto Rico will be annexed at onte, Cuba is to be a sort of protectorate, and likeâ€" ly soon also be annexed. This closes the chapter in America. Commissionâ€" ers on both sides will arrange about the Philippines and the details of the "cession"! as it will be called, of the two American islands. Gen. Miles meanwhile is pushing through Porto Rico from three or four sources, as if peace were never menâ€" tioned. All four armies are moving on San Juan, the capital, and no resistâ€" ance is looked for now, since the rest of the island is, very disloyally, exâ€" tending a welcome to the invaders. France is doing the "friendly act" and the financing for unhappy Spain, L.A wa ventnre to say in future troubles and we venture to say in ftuiute LoU VC Spain will be found acting as a natural ally of France, if indeed she may not be looked upon as a. permanent addiâ€" tion to French power and possessions. There has been more "cementing" goâ€" ing on than between America and Britain. _ The army At Santiago is in a deplorâ€" able state and as much haste is being used to get them out as was used to get them in, but with all speed possiâ€" ble, it will be Sep. 1st before the last will leaye, and "yellow Jack" in that time will work more harm than Spanâ€" ish bullets did, nine or ten at last r€â€" ports dying daily. Hospitals are being furnished for thousands on Long Island and other points in the north where the debiliâ€" tated army will recuperate before reâ€" turning to their homes. Gen. Merritt at Manilla is daily getâ€" ting stronger, and the Bishops on the islands have been advisqd from Romeé, to place th protection !
