Kverv . -, ; noon and cranny contained watches, guns and jewelry which he intended to some day repair. The man who read proof on Joe's "Union" was supposed to know the difference between the impression of a letter and that of a watch pinion or wheel. To Mr. Carpenter probably belonged the honor of being the greatest scrap book fend in Utah. In his library was a ton or thereabouts of ohl papers carefully preserved, all of which he was to cull and woik up info in-fo the volumes of miscellaneous information so dear to scrap-book scrap-book makers. Brass baud instruments in-struments hung on the wulls, ami a family of accordions cuddled cud-dled down between hepps of Hong books and stacks of reports from (he government printing oflice at Washington. Joe had been a choir leader and attempted at-tempted to teach tiptoeing, but only desisted when he learned that the process was not taken kindly to by his neighbors. Joe's library contained volumes vol-umes in Chinese, in Greek, Latin, Spanish, German, and in the now obsolete Mormon alphabet. alpha-bet. That portion of his establishment estab-lishment would be a treasure house for the State Historical society. The Independent man wishes Mr. Carpenter abundant success and prosperity wherever he may locate, and hopes he will in the future pay more attention to money-getting than to new mechanical devices.

(A.VAUA VOTES I'HOHIIUTIOX. I',Y IlEV. E. U. VufNO, JR. Tiie twenty-ninth of September has come and one; and, as the smoke of battle clears aw. ty, we begin to see where our country stands upon the temp. ranee question. The battle was hotly contested from ocean to ocean; but in spite of the most strenuous stren-uous efforts of the. opponent a decisive de-cisive victory has beon w in for prohibition. pro-hibition. The campaign that preceded the vote was very different from those that signalized the plebiscites in smaller district; but it was no less intense and animated. Tlu press was used as never before, and the pros and cons were fully set forth. The temperance people were perhaps the more indefatigable pamphleteers, and scattered tracts as the autumn leaves. The 'Antis"distnbuted neat little cards with many sophistical ideas upon them, and a few days before be-fore the ( lection they placarded the bill-boards of the land with huge yellow posters, frightening many voters with "JYohibition means direct di-rect taxation;'' "How will you raise the revenue?" etc. In (juebce th idea was persistently persis-tently circulated anions the French Catholics iihat prohibition was an English IVotestant scheme, got up to interfere with Catholic rites and practices. To the political friends of the government there appeared the danger of putting the government in a serious position if prohibition were deman led and they were forced to look elsewhere for revenue. Others still were influenced by considering the immense amount of capital invested in-vested in the tratllc and the. hand thereby employed. In these things, many Canadians still need much instruction, in-struction, or some shifting of the point of view, so that they may see the finished products for example, drunk ird-i, broken homes, neglected children, jails, asylums, etc. of this liquor business that they cherish ami legalize by their votes. However, the temperance people feel that a great success has been achieved an 1 that th cause has bee n greatly advanced. If th s vote was nothrge enough to compel immediate imme-diate legislatio.i m , maojett,, I'LftTa the w rds of Dr. Mac-laren, Mac-laren, one of our most prominent Queen's ouiisjI, "raised prohibition to the dignity or a national issue, and plac 'd it up 1:1 th it footing for good," The steady advance of the country al on!,' the line of temperance h is becB very gratifying, One of the tlrst step taken towards temperance legislation after the federation of the Provinces into the great Dominion was by the Liberal government in 172, when they appointel a royal commission to examine into the liquor tratllc. The result of the report of this coni:niiion was the passing of the Caaada Temperance Act, more popularly known as the Sc.d t Act, which is a very goaj local-option local-option law, giving the privilege of local option lo counties, cities, and all political municipalities. Itut the friends of sobriety were not a all satistled, and both Dominion and l'rovincial legislatures were beset with petitions for a more striugent and complete prohibitory law. The Maritime Provinces have always taken an advanced position upon the question, and in very few of their counties are liquor licenses issued. Fifteen years ago, Ontario had over six thousand retail licenses; now there are fewer than three thousand. Three-fourths of Manitoba Mani-toba is under prohibition. Close restriction of the liquor traffic exists where liquor-selling is not entirely prohibited. The quantity of intoxicating liquor of all kinds consumed in Canada Is now less than four and a half gallons ahead, a year. What this means will tie best understood when it is remembered that the consumption in the t'nited States is over seventeen, A BOON TO MANKIND!

I'rince Edward Inland. Nova Scotia. and Ontario, plebiscites have been taken within the last seven years, asking in some form the direct question, ques-tion, "Are you in favor of the prohibition pro-hibition of the liquor tratllc?" In each case there was a large majority on the side of prohibit '., The legislature of N, vv Brunswick, knowing so well the sentiment of the oeopie, without going to the expense ex-pense of a plebiscite vote, unanimously unani-mously petitioned the Duniiiion government to pass a law of total prohibition. The present plebiscite vote has no dire:t legislative effect; It is simply an expression of the will of the electorate, elect-orate, and was taken with no other question before the people Quebec, the only IVovinc; adverse, gives a mijority of Vt.OfU against prohibition.
