{To The Editor.]
Sfiir, — Li a sub4eacLer owhidi appears in tibia mooroflinig';? i&sne of , paper, referring to "The circular from Archbishop Riedwoodj" on the -question,;; you nuake it appear that the pronouno<*nient anly refers.to National PfroMbition,-, and not to local No4iceneie. Such a statement its contrary to the plain reading of the circular, and: if allowed to go unchallenged would seriously minimise the effect of the pronouncement. It matters lfiittle whether the (position against which the Archbishop >viarns his people i& brought about in one act such as would! be the case if national prohibition were carried; or piecemeal a electorate after electorate declaring in its favour, the re&uit wouM 1 be the S'amiß. Henoe the Archbishop distinctly declares: "Wo feel obliged to warn our people agaiu&t Prohibition,and warn them not to vote for it. —r I am, etc., DEAjN JOHN MoKENNA.
