Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 17, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Friday so jul. 17, Isth of . The third annual meeting of the on Tario prohibit i 7 league has just been. Held in Toronto. We gather from the proceedings that the cause of prohibition is advancing with encouraging rapidity and steadily gaining strength in Ontario not but throughout the Dominion. The advocates of prohibition have Alro adj accomplished much in the Way of educating the Public mind up to a Standard which will admit of Tho application of the principle of prohibition and ensure its honest enforcement in the Community embracing it. Their Earnest Able and willing the Federal legislature g w Ross Esq has already succeeded in committing the body of which to is a member to Tho principle of prohibition. A discussion of the question was brought up in Tho Yousoof commons last sos Sid to the following re solution was adopted that having regard to Tho beneficial effect arising from prohibitory Laws in those states of the american Union where the same Are carried out this House is of opinion that the most effect Ual remedy for the evil of intemperance would be to prohibit the manufacture importation and Sale of All intoxicating Tho Federal legislature and through it in fact every province in Ion is committed to Tho principle of prohibition. This is indeed an import ant Concession to Tho advocates of prohibition Aud ought to operate As encouragement to them to go on in the arduous , work in which they Are disinterest edly engaged. To the president of the Ontario league Admir estered in the course of his address at Tho annual mooting a withering rebuke to those members of the House of com Mons who treated Tho. Motion of or Ross with Brevity or ridicule. They endeavoured to laugh it out of Parlia ment and to justly characterized such conduct and disgraceful is. Doea. It not involve As the president j justly observed Johp Pence the the Prosper Ity of. The Dominion including its moral and religious advancement the position of the question of prohibition was looked at and discussed from a variety of standpoints and ther just conclusion arrived at that it is one which requires the greatest consideration on the part of any government however Strong before deciding to put a on the statute 1 i 4-1 t i n in v i till the object of its existence a fully and i the arid Mistletoe Colli Globe s English correspondent. I yesterday the inquest on the bodies of Thomas Stokes tie Mistle toe and of miss Annio Peel who. Came by their deaths in Tho collision Between the Mistletoe and the Royal yacht Al Berta during her majesty s passage to Gosport from Osborne on Tho even ing of last wednesday week was brought to a conclusion. The Prince of Lei Ningon and officers of the Alberta arid or hey Wood owner of Tho ill fated Mistletoe were present an on former occasions. Tho Coroner explained to the jury the difference in Law Between homicide and culpable homicide. He said gentlemen you heard you know that the collision has taken place now rests with i think is brought within a very Small Compass buy whether this collision was occasioned by want of caution on Tho part of Tho officers of Tho Alberta or from any want of caution on the part of those on Board the Mistletoe. If you find there is Blamo attributable to any one i am quite sure you will re turn your verdict according to your conviction and i am also certain that either and both parties will to Well dealt with. I am certain Jitou will give an Independent verdict but i ask you seriously to recollect and consider that your oath is binding you to the Evi Dence and that these depositions which you have taken before me Are the Only guide to you in this matter. You Are each and All bound to take these As the facts. You Are not to allow any unseemly applause or any unseemly exhibition of feeling to weigh with you and you must please disabuse your mind from any conversation you May have the jury were locked up for eleven hours. On their coming in to court they stated that it was impossible that they could come to a verdict. The Coroner then said have no doubt you have come to your opinion seriously and after due deliberation and consequently my duty is Accord to Tho Law to Send the inquiry to the assizes when you May Havo the assist Ance of Tho he then bound the jurors Over in the Sura of each to appear at the next general assizes for the county at Winchester. With this Tho proceedings came to an end but the question was Tho Alberta in fault is a subject of general discussion. During the proceedings at the there has been much unseemly temper exhibited. Or Ile Wood and others Assort that blame attaches to the offi cers of Tho Alberta for not giving a much wider birth to Tho Mistletoe and for going at such a rate of Speed in Tho crowded solent and with her majesty on Board.

Should a majority vote in its favor a proclamation by the governor general could bring it into Force at some specified subsequent to its ratification. This scheme seems to to a Good one ruling this the plebiscite is probably the Best method that can be adopted to got at an Independent expression of Public., sentiment upon this very important subject affecting As it does More than any other our material and moral Progress. We earnestly believe that the voice of Manitoba will to loud and emphatic of prohibition let intake what shape it will.

We Hope the Ontario league will continue its efforts with unflagging Zeal death would have been returned. No one can fail to agree with a one of the witnesses that the solent ought to be cleared for Tho Queen s Pas Sage just As the Are when she travels. Without this there is no guarantee against future accidents of this deplorable nature. Insanity in Ontario. In Ontario Tho number of insane is also considerably on the increase. According to the census returns of 1871, Thero were then in this province persons of unsound mind or one in Weverjr 397 of Tho population. Tho to turns of the census Are not very much to be relied on but it is gon rally believed by experts that the number of persons of unsound mind in Tho pro Vince is put Down rather too Low than too High. It shows also How far we Are yet behind in providing for the accommodation of lunatics in asylums cared for that while in England Thero Are Only 12 per cent 0.6 Tho whole number in private families in Ontario Thoro Are Only some in asylums while there Are kept in such a condition and under such influences that Tho likelihoods of a euro Are As Small a most As possible.
