Should the result l.e overwhelming in favor of prohibition that dns not say that we will have it granted us). In fact, as a writer in Toronto Saturday Night re- mar.s. Sir Oliver has prepared anice circle of "soft spo's" and it makes very little difference where he falls. From the same writer we quote the following sage remarks with regard to the position of affairs. "Mr. Meredith and his followers seem likely to suffer must from what has hap- pened and is likely tn happen on this pro- hibition question. The Marter bill w*s rejected on a straight party vote. The Conservatives voted solid for it, and as that measure was designed to dose up all bars in the province, the liquor inter- ests will go solid airaiiut Mr. Meredith in the next electi n. Heretofore the saloon men have voted Liberal more through fear than love ; now they will vote that *ay without compulsion. Th> Conserva- tive party tied itaelf by that vote to a solid something that cannot be explained away hereafter, no matter what turn events may take. In alienating the liquor men sending their hearts where their treasure is they won no correspoodintf benefit, for the Liberal* outbid them in pen mat ket for temperance sympathy by uertxin feiijLi in the direction of total prohibition. Mowst did not tie himself and party to anything so solid as to incomnxxie his free agency next year or sny other year. He ill have a plebiscite taken and refer certain constitutional points for settlement. If there is not an over- whelming majmity for prohibition he will no' feel ju-tihrd in giving effect to so revolutionary a principle at is prohibition. If tlie majority U overwhelming, there are still Mine constitutional points whose srtt>ment ma* reluve him from the necessity of Liking fateful action. The saloon men will I* made to see that there are a great many | nulventurei between this bright May evening and the pasaag* of prohibition by Sir Oliver Mowst They will Come t > believe that their good friend the Premier is staring off raiit'ng teetotaler*, and doing it with rare daiu- tinew. On the other hand, if prohibi- tion does not come the temperance people will perceive at a glance that the fault lay, Dot iu S.r 'liver, hut in thu unsatis- factory nature of i ho plebiscite, or in a faulty constitution " Best Cure For All disorders of the Throat and Lungs is Ayer's Cherry Factor*!.

A lady subscriber in Louisville, Ky., wrote us some time ago asking to hare r. Stewart, the druggist here, to send her a bottle for her husband. In a %hort time she wrote again ordering two more bottles and said it was doing her husband good. A few days sino^ meeting one of our principal mez- cbatiu who had been in bad health many mouths, we asked him how he was getU tag on : Be said he was getting better every day, that he had found a patent medicine that he had taken taken se era! bottles of it and was going to coi tmue it, for he says he would not take a thousand dollars for the good it has al- ready done him.
