Two Great Experiments. The world (says Mr. Bull) has just witnessed two of the greatest experi ments in social reform ever attempted in history, trying to make Russia free by revolution, and trying to make America sober by Prohibition; and it is doubtful which of the two is the greater failure But the strangest part of it all is that while native evidence is com- ing over by every mail (sume of it the tardy admission of the prophets them selves who had hoped to save the world by their relorma), we see in England, from time to time, cranks and fanatics with out experience at all who would wish us follow in failure's footsteps." It would be a pity to miss the lessons of the paradox, chief among which, surely, is the fact tha: here in England we are always accomplishing more under the principles of toleration than other coun tries by persecution. Freedom is part of the genius of our constitution, part of the instinct born of long legislative ex- perience, which the rounger and more

It is for this reason that the one great danger to the temperance movement in Eagland is precisely the intemperate view of some of those who advocate it: and I have on occasion listened to more nonsense from teetotalers than some drinkers could utter when literally

But the United States has done more than endanger the cause of temperance, for by bringing the machinery of government into disrepute, and officers of the law into temptation, she has undermined the prestige of civil morality all along the line just like some stupid parent will wrock his whole authority by some petly act of bigotry, The Modern Publican As Temperanca
