Frank Mahara’s famous operatic minstrels will play a three-nights’ engagement at the Colesium opera house (Thursday, Friday and Satur- day, June 18-19-20) under the aus- pices of the local committee having charge of the Elks’ State convention. The troupe is a good one, and they will undoubtedly draw large audiences. They have a fine band, which will be on the streets every noon and evening while here. The Edmunton Bulletin says of the company: ““The minstrel show last night was a successful performance and was greeted by a large house.

It is un- derstood that Mr. Squires furnished much information in detail regarding the political situation on the Isthmus, and in turn received some valuable ad vice as to the necessity of the Ameri- can legation preserving absolute neu- trality as between- the respective can- didates for the presidency of the re- public. _The Panama_elections. which take place on July 11, are giving the Ameri- can administration much concern be- cause of the expressed declaration of both political factions to resort to force in the event of failure at the polls.

CAMPAIGN OF REFORM Brewers Declare in Favor of Pro= motion of Temperance, S CONVENTION AT MILWAUKEE Resotutions Adopted Also Favor Elim- ination of the Objectionable Fea- tuFes of the Retail Liquor Traffic as Now Existing. Milwaukee, June 11.—The promo- tion of temperance in the use of fer- mented beverages, their meaning of temperance being neither abuse nor disuse, is favored by the United States Brewers’ association in a lengthy set of principles which the as- sociation adopted at its closing ses- slon. They also favor the elimination of the objectional feature of the retail liquor traffic and pledge their fullest co-operation towards their extinetion. The brewers also declare that it is a mistake to believe that the commer- cial interests of the brewer stands back of the excessive multiplication of saloons or any of the unlawful or improper practices of the saloon keep- er. Whenever a spirit of genuine in- quiry and rational betterment shall take the place of persecution, aiming not at improvement but at the exter- mination of their business, the brew- ers will welcome it and will gladly refrain from participation in politics. The declaration of prineciples, in part, follows: ! “The United States Brewers’ asso- clation, in conventjon, assembled, pre- sents the following declaration of principles and declares its sympathy with, and offers its co-operation with, anymovement looking to the promotion of habits of temperance in the use of fermented beverages. By temper- abuse nor disuse. We believe that the abue ror disuse. We believe that the temperate use of beer promotes health and happiness, which are the underly- ing conditions of morality and soctal order, and in this belief we are sup- ported by the vast preponderance of educated as well as popular opinion all over the world. Would Regulate Drink Traffic. “Consistently with this belief we favor the passage and the enforcement of laws for the regulation of the drink traffic and to keep such traffic free from unlawful and improper accessor- fes and we earnestly desire such im- provement in the drinking habits of the people as will still further ad- vance temperance, together with the spread of enlightenment as to the proper functions of drink, whereby the individual may be able to regulate his habits according to the require- ments of wholesome living. “We realize that these declarations are contrary to what the public is being persistently told by those who are opposed to the use of alcoholic beverages, in regard.to the attitude of the brewers towards the drink ques- tion, and especially towards the sa- Ioon. “While not denying a certain amount of heedless competition which our business has shared with many other times—the realization of unfor- tunate and unlooked for consequences having come home to us within recent times—we turn with confidence to the fair minded American public and ask it, in view of many practical instances of our sincerity given in the face of great difficulties, to consider the state- ments above made and to accept our assurance that the objectionable fea- tures of the retail liquor trafic do not rest upon and are not backed either by the commercial interests or by any supposed political power of the brewers, but that the elimination of such objectionable features is most earnestly desired by our trade; that we will lend our fullest co-operation towards their extinetion and invite the assistance of public officials and the people in general to that end.” A Slight Difference.
