TOPICAL READING.

PROHIBITION n CANADA. A big local option campaign will shortly be witnessed in Ontario. Two important urban ares 3, Brantford and Peterborough and about 150 towns, villages, and townships are simultaneously to vote for license or no license. In 334 municipalities out of 806 in the province there is already no legal sale > f liquor. There are also 92 others tfcnt h ive voted "dry" by substantial c--jrities, although not substantia! eiuugh to overcome the three-fifths handicap. As to whether prohibition has had all the good effects anticipated from it, there is a difference of opinion. One of the Canadian trade organs asserts that in local option districts drinking has not been abolished, and that all the optimistic platitudes as to the extra money to be spent upon the necessaries of life atill remain platitudes and nothing more. Abuses are rampant, secret drinking goes or, the boys are not being saved, and the promised Arcadia is farther off than ever.
