President I have given thought, to a matter to which your nur.nuon may or may not have turned. Our criminal code treats premeditated, homicide i in all cases alike, irrcspective.of tbe victim; a mur der being visited by the greatest pen alty. Perhaps no distinction between one case and another could be founded on the public relations held bv the per son stulri; but in the case of an attempt to murder, broad distinctions can be made between, assailing the life of an individual and an . attempt to I take a life of special value to the. whole peo ple. The shocking occurrence of Sat urday, I think, demands that the defi mtion or puoisnment oi assaults at high Executive officers, whether sue- cessml or not, anouia oe maae tnor oughly rigtirous. The man who at tempts the life of the President, if mor ally responsible, f commits an offence which tbe nation ougnt to guard nation oueht to aeainst and punish by the exertion of I all the power civilized nations may em.

One would think, from reading their papers that everybody and the cook was in favor J it i t ' ii i qi me proamnion dim ana yet it is dot the ease ' You will see in their pa pers that Honorable Daniel G. Fowle, Honorable Daniel L.Eossell.Uonorable Joseph J. Martin, Honorable A. M. Waddell, and thousands of others are cjut making speeebes in favor of the bill' Yet it is not the case. There are a few men wb are ia fa vw of the bill from conscience motive?, and will ad vocate it. But it is hard to find a man, who believes in equal rights for all men, who will come out square in favor qf prohibition. The fact is, most of tie men wl o ad vocate prohibition do 83 without thinking of the great wrong 1 eiog done to thousands in their pri vate business pursuits; but some mem? er of their tainiiy is a drunkard, and they', believe that by prohibiting the s ale-if liquor tie stain will be removed. n otner words, tney are willing to de stroy thousands for the sake of person i,l gain. The prohibitionists all say that no re- pectable man would advocate antir prohibition. We are led by this to ask soch men as.Gov, D. S. Reid, Judge rurches, ex -Speaker Priced Senator's ance and Hansom, Cui. William ohnsob, Hon. W. A.
