HOr«0irERTISfeMENTS THIS DAY, ForlSsls;,. .C. Hunter f rijish c£olnmbi«n tVRsfclag. rekraary 14, ISSl. ill 'J American Annexation. A few days ago we republished an artiole {rom the San Francisco Chronicle suggesting the unification of-the North American continent, ifc was proposed to aoeomplish this by annexing Canada, Mexico, and. Central America to the United SSttm-of America,and the writer of the article seemed to be of opinion that the scheme oould be accomplished without much difficulty and without farce or bloodshed, ana that it presented the most sensible and complete solution of the fishery question which has been for months agitating the public mind. North America confederated would form a very large, wealthy and powerful nation; one which, if truly bound together by community of interest ana sentiment, might stand out against all comers. It embraces an •rea af 7,900,000 square miles, nnd a popuhiMon of about 75,000,000 soiiu. The vast resources of this great continent are no less wonder-' ful than the energy and intelligence of ..its people. But there are elements of discord, inasmuch as the rBfierences of race, religion, custom and education are considerable. Besides, it is doubtful if the people of Canada would consent to surrender their nationality under such circum- . stances, for her identity would soon disappear. ' Tha confederation that would suit us much better is a con ftderacy of the whole Anglo-Saxon race—an alliance offensive and defensive between Great Britain, the United States and all the British colonies of the world. : This would be a confederacy against which nothing could possibly stand, and it would without doubt mould the world's destiny. The power of tke Anglo-Saxon race to govern is seen in ttie fact that India, with a population of 200,000,000, is kept in subjection by a British army of about 60,000 men If ever such an nlli- ant* wary consummated, the way 'wofjd bt made easy for the amalgamation bf the United States and Canada, and our American cousins might dismiss from their minds all concern arising from the rottenness anoV inefficiency ot their navy. tU*#—iM IH Astray Again. Ws perceive that our friend of the Colonist still permits bis party prejudices to warp his judgment, In his issue of Friday he accuses Mr. Blake of abandoning his tariff principles for the take of political effect. No*, we do not propose to take sides in Dominion polifjcs,i)r to de- that the Colonist's acousation against him i. entirely out of keeping with bis character and practice. Mr. Blake never yet hu abandoned principle for political effeot. On the contrary, he has fearlessly declared principles which he knew would cost him many votes. A case in point is his declaration on the temperance question. Mr. Blake knew well enough that a large majority of the temperance reformers belonged to the liberal party, and in the face of that knowledge he declared against prohibition at present. Before making his announcement he intimated that it would probably offsnd and alienate some of his political friends, but this reflection would not stand between him and hit duty. As a matter of fact it did alienate many people from the Ljbwal party. But is it true that Mr. Blake hu ohanged his views on the. question of protection, or that he affirms a new doctrine for political effect! The Liberal party hu never, adapted a policy of absolute fn* trade, nor has Mr. Blake, so far as wa;know, ever enunciated sueh a' doctrine. It has always been felt that while the country was carrying on so many public enterprises, requiring Such a large revenue, it would be .impolitic to sur- render the customs revenue When Mr. Mackenzie and Mr, Blake were irr pwpsr, the customs duties were actually -increased Inm i a basis of 15 per cent, to 174 per cent, The docVine of the' liberal party has brth'thsti custbm's duties should be imposed only when required for rev- pSteWM fo industries which co"' no. -iim' without a bonus. All rules have exceptions, and no Jib- eraTr-*>Mld exclude exceptions from the application of the tariff. Hence then won cases in which it was oouidend poJitio to aid certain in, dwtriee, end there will probably he *sitfr,o**a to' the end. Mr. Blake U|i ,Mr»nci»ted' no 'new doctrine, tlMsilora, when he intimates that tke' Uhenl party would not smash to fietei thf National Policy con- oeeted Jtssii snforoed by the Conser •tilt*."

I now offer myself at this, the General Election. As It ls my Intention to visit and hold publie meetings In every settlement of the district before election day, I wfll meroly ln this address refer to the differ* ent subject* that are vital to onr Interests as a district and province, whieh will be discussed at length on tho publio platform, wheal hope all aspirants for the honor of representing you In the Commons will be present and take part In the discussion, of which due notice will be given. The following are some ofthe most Important questions that will have my serious consideration: The Improvement ofthe Navigation of Fraser Kiver.—The New Westminster Board of Trade have, with the assistance of our lato representative, been successful ln obtaining a small appropriation for thlB purpose, which hns been expended the past fall; and lt will be the duty of your representative tosectire such annual grants as will suffice to complete thin lm- fiortant- work, which will enable ships of he heaviest draught to navigate the Fraser river at all stages of the tide, and nll seasons of tho year. Mquttcm' Claims.-With reference to this matter there hus been gross neglect on the part of the Dominion Government, and I am of the opinion that those settlers who located thoir land under Instructions from what ls known ob Mr. Trutch's pamphlet, should secure the title thereto free of charge—and tho fact that settlers have beon unable to secure tbelr titles has acted very detrimentally to the interests of the province generally, and {If elected) I will he unceasing (n my efforts to secure the adjustment of every claim In the district. Kailway anlki—Another very Important matter In connection with our district ls railway connection with our neighbors south of thc line. Several charters to connect this city nnd dlstrlet with the American system of railways have been granted by our local legislature, but were unfortunately disallowed by tho Dominion Government (doubttess through the Influenco of the C. P. R.) The position hitherto held bythe Dominion Houso ls now untenable, and tho monopoly clause of the C. P. K, will have to be done away with. Should this be done thore is no reason why railway construction Bhould not commence ln the near future, ns our Amerioan cousins aro ready and willing to comtwonco work as soon as tho way ls opon, I need only say that I shnll use my best endeavors to obtain wild rail way connection and the abolition of the mono* poly clause. . Kailway «rlrvaam.-Tha C. P. It. havo maintained excessive rates for local traflic In this province and to points as far east as Winnipeg. This Is not as lt should be, and Is one of thc reasons why that great corporation should be taught thnt lt Is not the only power In the land, but that It must be mado subservient to the Interests of the people. Telegraphs aud Kallways.-~I am of the opinion that nll telegraphs and railways should be owned and operated by the government ln tbe Interests of the people! as is partially tho cuso In Kngland, tier* many and elsewhere, and shall (If elected) do all I can to bring about this, vory de- sirable state of things. . Tke Halls.—1 shall use my best efforts to have ull settlement it on the south side of the river supplied regularly with their malls from Ladner's Landing by way of the Grand Trunk roud to Chilliwhack and any other places not already suppl led with mall accommodation, Tke Tenperanee *4»»tloa.-Upon this question I feel very warmly and sympathize most heartily with all those who aro anxious to do away with the evils caused by the liquor traffic and shnll (If elected) give my hearty support to uny measures lhat may be introduced to advance this voiy desirable object, lie Chlae* «*es.lo«.-\Vith regard to to this question, I consider it an unmixed evil, yet at the same time one >,t the hard- problems that this nation 'ins to denl with. I deem Itof vital Importance that our Legislatures, hoth Fediral nnd Provincial, shuuld do their utmost todlscour- age this traffic, and at the same time use all legal means In their power to get rid of those chl tinmen who are alrcudy amongst ns. The last question lhat I wish to bring before you Is that of Indi-pendcnco, I again reitcrntf the statement made hy myself ln the papers— "!■ rellllcs, I nm antl will be I hor. Mgkly Independent." Several ofthe H.C. pnpors have taken up this statement and have said a great many uncomplimentary thln/is concerning me, such as" being on tin1 fence," '* u Grit in disguise," and so forth, t therefore deem it necessary to explain what I menu by being thoroughly Independent. I consider nny member sent to Ottawa from this Provlmepledgedtosupport any particular pnrty has allowed himself to be fettered, The greatest, evils which threaten the usefulness of the government of the (Tutted States and Canada spring from party poll- ties, and In the United mates ut tlie Inst Eresidential election n number of tho est men of both parties voted Indepnnd- enllv, and for what they considered the best Interests of thc country regardless of party. i As an Independent I shall endeavor to vote and act (if elected), first, In the lnteresl* of my constituents; secondly, In the Interests..of the province, and lastly for the general good of the Dominion, pledging myself neither to Grit nor Tory, but claiming the right as a freo born British subject to use my Influence and vote on the side where I consider your Interests and the Interests of the nation He. I tako this opportunity of soliciting tbe vote and influence of all,and while 1 shall feel very much honored if yon elect me as your representative, I trust that time will prove that your confidence has not been misplaced. I remain. Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, dwfeiMo T. J. TRAPP. ESTABLISHED 1*975. The West Shore FHBE For the balance of 1888. Including the mammoth holiday number, to all who subscribe now for 1887.

GENTLEMEN!—-shortly After' the la- mentoddiathofour lato Representative, Mr. Homer, 1 wai Solicited by a number the House of Commons ot Canada. The personalsgllcHation of friends, wasshorr- ly followed by requthiUons so numerously signed, by prominent aod hiilueninl Electors of the Oity and District, thut I felt lt Ut he my duty Ui place my services at tbelr disposal. Ills not therefore. Gentlemen, nBuself-nomlnutedcundldute.that I nsk for your support, but I do eo ln response to tho request of over four hundred of your number. " -; To many of you, Gentlemen, who have known me for a long time, It-Is unneoes- snryformoto say, that I nm perfectly familiarwlth the great and varied re- sources of this Province.. My knowledge of Its Mining, Fishing, Agricultural and Commercial advantages has been derived from actual experience, and will (If elected) onablo mo to plnco prominently before Parliament, tho great resources of this Province, nud the means necessary to he employed to aid In thoir further development. |f"£ It is Impossible, Gentlemen, in an nddress such as this to do moro than itlludo to some of the questions of Interest and Importance to you, whioh as your representative, I woultl consider it to be my duty to bring to tho notice of Parliament. I Will, howevor, enumerate a few matters of great importance to ns all, In regard to whlcb tt will be my earnest endeavour to obtain beneficial legislation. 1 will endeavour to have removed from tho mouth of our nobio Kiver, every impediment to its free navigation, nnd have nocoHHnry lighthouses erected. I will endeavor- to secure to settlers and squatters nn Immediate title to their lands. This I consider to bo a matter not only of Justice, but also of expedienoy. Heretofore great injustice has been done to a vnlunble nnd deserving class of our population, to whom, had Justice beon done nnd facilities afforded for acquiring hoineritoads, the results of their Industry would, ore this, hnve done much to devel on the agricultural capabilities of this fine district. I nm aware, Gentlemen, thnt tho num* bet of representatives to which ench province of the Dominion Is entitled Is bimod upon population,yet I bolieve that, owing to exceptional circumstances, such as tbe fact thut tills provinco contributes to tho revenue of the Dominion a much larger percentage, according to population, than any of lito other provinces; und- also to the fact that largo centres of population arc rapidly being formed ln this district- that It Is entitled to a HrgiT representation In the parliament of the Dominion, nnd which as a nm* tor of Justice I will endeavor to obi uln. 1 will also endeavour to obtain for the residents of. this District hotter uobUiI facilities, to which thoy ure Justly en* titled. I will use my host oflorls to secure equitable rates ou nil rail wuy and telegraph lines, and to hnvo tlie snme fixed by law. Tho Interests of llrltlsh Columbia demand that, every Impediment In tbo wuy of constructing railways to our Southern boundary and other portions nf this district be rcmov«d to nld In the development of our resources.

Ottawa, Feb. 8.— Seine mistake appears to have ■ been mode in the announcement that the Britiah government ore sending uut a number of 80- ton guns for the coast defence of Esquimalt nud Victoria. Several sixty-four pouudors Imve been sent out from England, uut for the armaments of forte, but to be plaoed either on board of ships of war belonging to the Pacifio squadron, or go into naval reserves. Some time ago. the British minister of war made application to the Canadian Pacific railway folks to know if they could transport one or more eighty-ton gum ovor their road. An estimate of the cost was given with a model of the car whioh was lo have been used for that purpose, and from that it wu reported that the shipment had been made. Since then nothing has been heard of the eighty-ton guns. The officer in command of tlie British Columbia, distriot does not speak very favorably of the condition of the armament at thnt point. He reports that the guns are few, with rotten timbers and .carriages, while all are without sights. The batteries at Victoria and Eiquimalt, the officers say, are in a discreditable condition.

Editor Columbian: In every Christian oountry, efforts, to a greater or less extent, are being put forth for the purpose of bringing the inhabitants of heathen lands to a knowledge of the truth.

Editor Columbian: In your week ly of Februsry 2nd sn item appeared over the fictitious nsme of" Barnyard Savage" in which the writer seeks to throw reflection on Surrey council respecting rosd work on Smith hill. As that piece of work has been dune, so far, according to my orders, as instructed by the counoil, I consider myself justified in informing you, as well aa Barnyard Savage and the public generally, that the job is not yet completed, cold weather having put a stop to any furthar progress for tlio present. Our over-zealous barnyard cur may consider, therefore, that he ia a little too previous. Permit me, further, to inform the barnyard subject that he is merely exposing his ignorance when he criticises the council with regard tothe road alluded to, aa all practical men will tell him that brush is tho best material that can be obtained to dam n watercourse In this esse it wss necessary to put the rosd in suoh condition that traflic would not be impeded, whioh could not be dono nt that time of the year by filling tho washouts with earth from tno ditches. The capacity of the ditches is quite equal to the present requirements, and the most brainless "savogo" should know that mid-winter is no time to dress ditches, as they aro either frozen or partially filled with water. If our barnyard subject will take tho troublo to remove his goggles ho will observe a small mound of oarth on tho flat near the lop of the hill which will serve as a watershed when that next shower of rain coines along, which he predicts as liable to cause such devastation among tho brush. Perhaps our friend cun tell us whether that storm is likely to affect the province generally. I am afraid the United States weathor prophets are nowhere. I am not at all surprised at the audacity exhibited by Barnyary Savago, as it is but ono of tno symptoms of a depraved intellect. Ho does show a cowardly disposition behind a fictitious name whilo attacking Surrey council. —Yours, &e. G. W. Cann. Surrey, Feb. 8th, 1887. Maple Ridge Council. The regular monthly meeting of the council was held in fhe town hell on the Sth insl. Councillor Dawson was absent. Communications were read a. follow.: From H. T. Thrift, asking in behalf of the Surrey council the co-operation of ihi. council to urge the government to pnss certain ainend- menta to the municipal aet; from the Dominion government agent in reference to the road at Port Haney obstructed by the railway contractor; from the hon. the provincial secrotary in reference to the municipal eleotion, and from Me.tr.. Drake, Jackson & Helmcken and Bon, A. N. Riohardt in reference lo the proper constitution of the council. Mr. D. 0. Webber was appointed collector for the presont year. The other officers were reappointed. By-law. appointing officers and a by-law regulating the assessment snd court of revision for the year received Iheir first and .econd reading.. Clerk wa. requested to notify path- master, that they have been reappointed, and should any decline to act, to inform the counoil at once. On motion of Coun. Laity, ascended by Coun. Ferguson, permission was granted to all pathmasters to call on ratepayers in their respective beats to remove obstructions that may from time to time interfere with traffic, but in no case shall any ratepayer without authority from tlio council be oredited with work exceeding thut allowed under pathinuBH-rs Inat yenr. It was moved l-y Coun. Laity, seconded by Coun. Doctlstvmler, that tbe clerk communic.ue with the government and counit-rniuiid the order for Ihe surrender of the letters pstent, a. the legal advice obtained from tho Hon. A. N. Richards clearly show, that tho surrender »f the patent i. not at all necessary. Conn. Ferguson tenaciously adhered to his belief lhat the council is illegal, stating thst lie was in possession of informolion from the attorney guneral corroborating his contention, and he earnestly pleaded for the surrender of thu patent and for a new municipal election. Coun. Sinclair supported the motion, which was accordingly carried. Tlio clerk waa reqiieated lo write to tho Surrey municipal counoil and to •tat. that this council is in full accord with them in the several mattera set forth in their communication. Officers were instruotod to have their bund, executed by next meeting of council. Collector wss instructed to obtain XI advice aa to the best manner to >t in collecting delinquent taxes. O'oun. Laity gave notioe that at next meeting he will bring in a by-law to amend the fence by-law of 1881. Regulation amendment by-law received its first and second readings.
