M. IMS. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Glouclicster Advertiser saya: A luun wbo is owing us a little bill said he would oall last week and pay us if he was alive. He still appears on the street, but as he did not call, it is naturally supposed that lie is dead, and ia walking about to save funeral expenses. Says an exchange: The actors of tho United States ask that the importation of foreign actors be forbidden under the foreign labor law. Their request granted, a perpetual injunction against the critics will then be in order. The date of closing the theatres, owing to lack of patronage, will be in sight., An exchange says : "We" would coinmond to the sawmill owners whoare wrestling with the saw- dust problem the action of Maine roillmen, who ship large quantites of that material for use instead of sand in mortar, as well as for the making of moulding and cornice work. If some enterprising Oanadian would enter into the business of the economic disposition of the sawdust that accumulates around the mills of the Dominion he would reap a fortune as well ss incur the blessing of all concerned in the fish- An exchange says: When the Kew York Legislature passed the law abolishing hanging and providing that capital sentences should bo curried out by means of electricity, a section of the Act prohibited newspapers from publishing details of the exeoution. Whatever may have justified the adoption of tho electricity scheme for inflicting the death penalty, there does not appear to have been any reason for the provision affecting the press. Iu the first place it is found to violate the lnw granting liberty to the press. It would also tend to minimize the deterrent effects of executions by doing away with the exposure and disgrace. The Now York Legislature must have had in mind the popularizing of this method of departing life, so that a man tired of existence would come to the authorities and beg to be quietly and respectably taken in htind and done for. This is the way they intend to "do us up," according to the Chicago Tribune: Canada has now a debt whose weight is almost crushing on its small population and scant resources, but it still shows no signs fa desire to reduce it. It even seems to eye with complacency the prospect of an increase. The Dominion government has just ordered two large guns, that will cost a quarter or half million, which it proposes to plant somewhere on itssencoastfor "defensive purposes." What an utter waste of money this isl What power, unless it be tho United States, would ever attack Canada 1 But if war were to come between the two countries, it would not help our northern neighbor if its entire seacoast were ringed around with 500 or 1,000- pounders. If there were a fight— which heaven forbid—we should not go trifling around the mouth of the St. Lawrence, nor should we fritter away our energies as in tbe war of 1812. In a month or less from the declaration of hostilities we should have Montreal and Winnipeg. The possession of thoso two points would cut tho Dominion into three pieces, and we could pick up the fragments when wo got ready. The Canadians would save money by melting their cannon down for ' larea. li. L. Stevenson, in the December Scribuer't, has tho following, appropriate to the season: To look hack upon the past year, and soo how little we have striven and to what small purpose; and how often we have been cowardly nnd hung back, or temerarious and rushed unwisely in; and how overy day and all day long we have transgressed tho law of kindness;—it may seem a paradox, but in the bittornos of these discoveries, a certain consolation resides. Life is not designed to minister to a man's vanity. He goes upon his long businesa most of the time with a hanging head, and all the time like a blind child, Full of reward and pleasure as it is—so that to see the day break or the moon rise, or to meet a friend, or to hear the dinner-call when he is hungry, fills hiin with surprising joys— this place is yet for him no Aiding city. Friendships fall through, health fails, weariness assails him; year after year, he must thumb tho hnrdly varying record of hii own weakness and folly. It is a friendly process of detachment, When the time comes that ho should go, there need be few illusions left about himself. "Here lies one who meant well, tried a little, failed muoh :"— surely that may be hia epitaph, of which he need not to be ashamed. Nor will he complain at the summons, whioh calls a defeated soldier from the field : defeated, ay, if he were Pali! or Marcus Aureliusl— but if there is still one inch of fight in his old spirit, undishonored. Give him a march with his old bones; there, out of the glorious sun- colored earth, out of the day and dust, and the eoatasy—thore goes another Faithful Failure t SACKVILLE AFFAIR Still Oeenpies Public Attention. Hr. Chamberlain is Offered the Vacant Post. The Pope's Speech Bevives the Quarrel between the Vatican and Government. Stations on the Nile to bo Strengthened--King Milan Makes Great Concessions. Children Cryfor Pitcher'sCwtorla THK I'Ol'K'K SPEECH. Rome. Deo. 26,--.The Pope's speech to the ssored college on Christmas eve has renewed tho quarrel butween thu Vatican and Italian -government. The liberals are highly indignant at the Pope's denunciation of the chambers. They declare the speech was one of the bitterest that has been uttered from the papal chair for years, and that the purpose is to array the whole Christian world against Italy and urge that the only resource for government and parliament to pursue is to meet his at- tack upon independancy with measures of increased stringency against the clergy. WITHDRAWING TROOPS. London, Dec. 26.—The Scotch Borderers will leave Suakim to-morrow and the second Egyptian battalion will soon follow. The plan of advanoing on Handoub has been abandoned and General Grenfiell is confident Osman Digma will not return to attack Suakim. The Egyptian stations on the Nile are to be strengthened. MR, -SMALLEY'S CABLE. London, Dec. 26.—There iB but one opinion in Europe. There is not a diplomatist or statesman who does not regard with amazement the sluggish supineness the American government bave thus far shown in the Sackville matter. It has long been clear that Lord Salisbury did not mean thore should be another British minister at Washington during Cleveland's administration. He has successfully evaded the repeated questions in parliament, but his answer to Lord Dun- ruven in the houae of lords is considered equivalent to a flat refusal to appoint a successor to Lord Sackville. Such a refusal is the well-known method of expressing diplomatic resentment It would be followed in any European country by an immediate withdrawal uf the ambassador, or minister representing in Great Britain the power to whom suoh an affront was offered. If tho United States do not withdraw theirs they will bo held to have pocketed Lord Salisbury's provocation. To keep Mr. Phelps here is to signify tho assent of Cleveland's administration to au act intended to inflict humiliation on his country. CHAMBERLAIN DECLINES. London, Deo. 26.—Joseph Chamberlain has declined the mission to Washington. ANOTAEU RALLY. London, Dec. 26.—John Bright rallied somewhat to-day. TROUBLE IN THE COTTON MILLS. London, Deo. 26.—A orisis is threatened in tho cotton trade at Bolton.

The operatives haye ample funds and are confident they can make a long resistance and a prolonged struggle is feared. TUB PANAMA CANAL, Paws, Bee. 26.—There has beon a reaction in favor of the Panama canal shares and bonds this week Under influence of Count Delcssep's successful appeal to holders to forego interest until tho canal is finished, holders by thousands are sending their consent to the proposition and there is reason to hope a suspension of the works at Panama will be averted. ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NECESSARY. London, Deo. 26.—The Time* urges a speedy settlement ff the Newfoundland fisheries dispute betweon France and England. AN OLD OFFICER DEAD.

Nsw York, Deo. 21.—An unusually brutal prize fight of twelve rounds took placo this morning at Bay Ridi-e, L.I., Detwenn Jack Mullen and Jim Bates, both of Brooklyn, with bare knuckles. Mullen had the beit of tho fight to the last round, when he broke his left wrist over the head of his opponent and was compelled to thtow up the sponge. It wns a brutal slugging match of the worst character and both men were covered with blood. A TREATY REPORTED. WiNNiPHo, Deo. 22.—Perez Cavalier, late secretary of the Spanish legation at Yokohama, is hero on route to Washington. Ho says that when he loft Japan In was currently reported in diplomatic circles that a secret treaty had been concluded botween Russia and Japan against England, for the roason thnt Russia feared, in the event of war with England, tho Japanese would favor the latter. DOESN'T BELIEVE IT. Washington, Dec. 21.—H. A. Glid- den, agent of tlio treasury department at Seal Island, St. Paul and St. George, in 1882 to 1886, was a witness boforo the house committee ou tbe marine and fisheries investigation into alleged outrages in Alaska. He said he had read the ohaiges of outrages, etc., in tho newspapers, but did not think there was any truth in them. He had never heard of any cases ot criminal assault on the islands and no com- Elaints of seduction had reaohed him. [ there had been any complaints to make he would have heard of them, as the people looked upon him as their protector. Men employed on tbe islands by the Alaska Company were kind to the natives and their presence thero tended to elevate and civilize the people. s , A YOUa-H HANGED. Crockett, Tex., Dec. 22.—John A. Johnson tfaa hanged here yesterday for rape. He, protested his innocence on the Bcaffold. He was only 19 years old, "MY LADY'S PAdE." Washington, Dec. 22.—Fourteen pages in the senate chamber were made happy to-day by substantial re- membrauce from Senator Stanford, of California.

No particulars received. THB ALASKA COMPANY. Washington, Dec. 24.—Chairman Poindexter Dunn of the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries has summoned ton witnesses to appear before the committee on March 7th to testify in regard to the Alaska seal fisheries which bis committee is now engaged in investigating. The resolution under which the committee is operating empowers it to enquire into any Violation of tho contract with the United States by the Alaska Commercial Co., and also to enquire as to the moral status of the inhabitants incident to the almost complete control of St. George and St. Paul islands by the Alaska Commercial Co. These seal fisheries, said Mr. Dunn to a representative of the United Press association to-day, are tho most valuable in tho world and our investigation is as to whether-tho United States can by any means secure more revenue from them and at the same time preserve the fisheries. There wns at one time seal fishing off Japan, but that is now practically extinct So far tho United States has received from tho Alaskan fisheries about §7,000,000 from these fisheries direct, besides the indirect revenuo which amounts to §3,000,000. Tho whole territory of Alaska coat tho United States about $8,000,000, so you Bee that the purchase bas been a profitable one. The testimony so far adduced does not show that a proper state of morals exists among the people, and the committee hope to arrive at some conclusion that will promote tho cuuae of good morals and civilisation amongWe natives of Alaska.

De Shook, agent of the Bed River Valley Elevator Oo, at Stephen, Minn., skipped to Manitoba with 16,090 of his employer's money and 810,000 borrowed from buainea. men of Staph™. Bis wife is nearly distracted over the affair. Wm.

News of tho decision by the supreme court in favor of Msnitob. in ths crossing case was received at Winnipeg with muoh rejoioing. Bonfires wore lit at Portage la Prairie. It is probable tho O. P.

Complete returns of agricultural operations in Great Britain, for 1888, havo recently been iasued,says the Commercial. The area of land sown to grain crops shows an aggregate increase in comparison with lait year of 50,297 aores. Notwithstanding the belief in some quartan that the British agriculturist cannot make wheat a profitable crop, the returns show that a considerable increased area lias been given to wheat, as compared with last year. The total wheat area is placed at 2,668,226 acres, or an increase of 280,708 acres as compared with last year. In barley, 2,204,- 448 acres were sown, being an in- • crease of about 9,000 aores ovor 1887. Peas nover 242,414 acres, or an increase of about 12,000 acres. There is also an increase in the acerage of rye of about 23,000 acres, the total acerage of this crop being 89,176 acres. The oat crop is ap parently the moet important grain crop, as 4,177,121 acres are given to this cereal. Oats, however, show a decrease in the acreage of 241,826 acres. About 344,000 acres were devoted to beans,a decrease of about 33,000 acres under 1887. But while the total acreage in grain was greater than in 1887, there is a decrease in tho grain area, as compared with 1878, of about 1,250,000 acres, and a large portion of thia decrease is in wheat. Ten yean ago the wheat area was 3,381,701 acres. Thus while thero is an increase in wheat this year, the last decade has shown it very consider- ' able shrinkage in the area of this crop. Barley, next to wheat, showa the greatest shrinkage in ten years, The area given tn roots und vegetables also shows a decrease in the ten years, of about 100,000 acres. Turnips and potatoes are tbe principal root crops, the acreage of turnips being nearly equal to that Of wheat, and tlio aoroago of potatoes 1,406,384 aores. The grand total of land under cultivation is placed at 47,876,814 aores, but this includes pasturage land, to the amount of 26,700,000 acres, the balance being given to grain, roots, vegetables, hny, flax, hops, fruits, etc. Live stock show a considerable decrease in numbers as compared with last year, though for ten years there lias not been much ohange. Tlie total figures for 1888 are; horses, 1,936,702; cattle, 10,268,- 600; sheop, 28,938,710; pigs, 3,815,643. The number of sheep lias decreased 3,632,000 in ten years, while cattle havo increased about 500,000. This brief article will give some idea of the agricultural wealth of the United Kingdom. The figures given include Ireland and the Channel and other islands. American republic, annexation will speedily follow; and wo can well aflbrd to-wait for that timo to como, and it is not far distant. The Butterworth resolution will stir up the matter, anil that is really all that will be needed." If tbe object of the Butterworth resolution was, among other things, to draw out public opinion in Canada on the annexation question, we trust that the American annexationists are now satisfied that the Dominion, both as a whole and as different sections, is very far from being "ripe" for falling into tho American maw. If tho United States follows the wise policy outlined by tho Chronicle, of waiting nntil tho fruit is ripe, instead of going to tho infinite trouble of shaking the tree, and, then, if successful, getting only sour fruit, the question of annexation will be very much simplified—in fact, it may be indefinitely laid under tho tablo, and, with Butterworth's resolution, placed in the waste paper basket. If, as the Chronicle affeots to believe, the Liberals should tako up the annexation cry, for want of a hotter party fad, it may safely be predicted that the Liberal kite will be quickly dashed to tho earth after having attached to it such a tail, Wo have a hotter opinion of the Liberal party, however, than to believe them capable, ot deliberate suicide. In view of recent developments und the utterances of prominent Americans and the American pi-ess, tho "commercial union" cry cannot oxpeot to be regarded in Canada much longer as unything but a blind for "annexation;" and, having been repeatedly deolared a hopelessly dead issue by those who have the power to pronounce upon it, the party in Canada who some time ago adopted that cry, will do itself considerable credit by letting it drop.

LUNDBOHM'S BLOCK, Colnmbla sired, New Westminster. noldwly t>iuu nun i theAmer Tile same •'effect of t Speaking of the famous annexation resolution of Congressman Butterworth, of Ohio, the San Francisco Chroxicle says; "Of course this resolution is only a fooler, meant to test the strength of the annexation sentiment in the United: States as well as in Canada, and to pave the way, perhaps in the near future, for political union. It ia not entirely certain that the resolution will pass both houses of congress, but it will afford a favorable opportunity for debating the question and finding out the opinions of American people on the subject. 1 same may be . said as to. tho I the resolution in Canada, It will, as a publio man in Montreal sayi, bring the matter of an- neetion to a focus and: 'elicit tho opinion of the Canadians on the question. A commercial union member of the Dominion parliament snys that at tho next general election the issue will undoubtedly be annexation, nnd thst it is an open secret that it will be tho lead-1 ing plank in the Liberal platform. This corresponds with what was asserted a short time ago, that the French Liberals in the province of Quebec were strongly in favor of annexation, though it is bitterly opposed by Iho Conservative! of the same nationality. As we have had occasion to say heretofore, there il bnt one thing for the United Statea to do, and that is to stand firm in rejecting all overtures for reciprocity or commercial union between the two countries.' Oar platform ihould be that when the Canadians are desirous of political union we will gladly admit thorn to shsro in our burdens and our blessings, but that to lone as they continue to be a foreign nation, wo will deal with them at arrn'a length, using the advantage of our luperior wealth and power and population for our own benefit^, without any considerations ol sentiment or unything of the sort. Wo want: Canada; ot at least aome ot the Canadian provinces, but we nre in a position to wait till the fruit ripens, when it will drop into our handi, If wo go to work to shake the. tne, all we shall get will be the hsrd, unripe fruit, and even thai only after a great deal of labor. Jnst as soon as the great mats ol the Canadian people nee that it will to to their advantage to join the S. C. Provincial Exposition Subscription Fund.

The heads dlsappeard and the alley was buret, save for the hare feet ot Molly pat- leering toward the outstretched tin plat- Iter from the left, and Jem, who had his pyes fixed on the utensil from the light, Molly was a low-necked, short-sleeved, whit, pinched child with a shock of light 'brown hair falling over a dirty face and lobsourlng large, pretty, blue eyes. Jem I was a smaller and masculine Issue of the |same edition. " It's goln' on A fortnight lenc. they've I'ad winkles to their dinner. See'em Irani" aaid tbe mother, watting their approach. "You aee, I'ad an uncommon large I bundle o' h' army shirts from the Pluillco [Mores this week, and I told the chil'en, *Bez I,' 'Ef I get 'em done fer you to take f lack this alteruoon you shall 'ave a penn- f'orth o' winkles for yer dinner afore latartln'. Now then, you Moll and Jem, I look alive and seo't they glvo you fresh I ones." Moll and Jem darted off to the winkle I stand around the corner, aud Moll and I Jem's mother led theway through adingy I passage to a low, square dingy room, | where the midday meal was already I spread, at least so far as the setting out I of aloafofbreod.abowlof dripping and I a knife and spoon for tho distribution ot | those edibles constituted spreading. The first of the series of Whitechapel horrors was discovered on the morning of August Slat, I had planned for the first of September a round of afternoon calls, but the great, black-lettered bulletins trodden under foot where the newsboys had spread them on tho pavements at .very street corner deoided me to make my visits in the Bowery ot London. In tbe endless succession of dingy streets and dark, narrow lanes, In the squalid houses that wall In the blind alleys snd dismal courts of the Whitechapel district, in the more pretentious blocks tbat front upon its main artery, the broad, busy Whitechapel road ablaze with glu palaces and the paradise of cheap shops, there live more than half a million people, and,according to London estimates, from 10to 13 percent, of the girls and women nre, or at some time lu their lives have been harlots. How there comes to be such n colony ot prostitutes, snch a glut of female degradation, such a swarming population of abandoned women for Jack the Ripper to wreak his vengeanco on In the very heart of the city was the point which I hoped my afternoon calls might clear uu for me. It waa at the end of Buck's Row, an eighth of a mile maybe from the spot where poor Polly Nichols had been found dlaembowled the day before that I bad opportunely dropped one or two half pence from my change pun-just abreast ot Mrs, Lupklns calling for Jem and Molly to go for their winkles, nnd in course of the search for the coins had made her acquaintance. " Deed an' I'm ashamed," said she," aa any lady wa'at knowa wa'at decent things la should find me 'ere, for tlmei ain't i this bad with me." And ah. glanced around at the moldy wall paper hangtng in patches, the ragged pitfall, for the feet which constituted all that was left of tho carpet, the baby lying asleep in a heap of soiled bed clothes on the floor, the chair or two which mado up the fur nl tttre. Mrs. Lupklns herself wasn woman otSOor 37,with the lame tumbled brown hair and large, pathetic blue eyea which were the prominent features of the children. Two or thne years earlier she must have been an attractive figure, but now her front teeth were gone, as well as most of tho buttons other dress, audit seemed that i a vory gentle push would shove her over the brink ot th. pit ot hagdom, "I've'ad to put nil my things away," the said In explanation of the soantness ot the furnishings. By putting sway the London poor always mean pawning. " My 'usbnnd died lost winter. 'E was a soldier and I've been to India with 'im an'pretty near round ths world. 'Ewas consumptive nn' 'ad to leave ths service, ran' tor two years 'o was janitor to a 'abl- tatlonof the Primrose League. Then'a died wl' fo' abulia's In'is pocket and me gone bIx months with Nellie there. The ladles otthe League they sent me three pounds to last over the confinement, but said ui 'ow I waa never to ask them for a penny mora. It was good starvin' till I got so'a I could do aummut again, and 'taint so much better now. They 'ad to give me work at the guv'ment stores, because I was a soldier's widow, aud they can't refuse. They give out army and navy shirts at Pimlico, but the pay is only thrlppenca apiece an ef you ain't got a sewln' machine it ain't many in a day yon can do. Weeka w'en I'aye all I can mako I earn maybe six shtllin's, but there'slota after the work, and of tener'n uot It won't go round. Bad weeki I don't 'ave to' ahillln'a 'orth snd once ln a w'ile none at all. Now thin, Jem an'Moll, did ye eat them winkles on the way'" Jem snd Moll produced the platter ot •nollusks snd • allot ot bread thickly spread with dripping wu out tor etch, with two winkle, sptttsto punade tht unattractive meal. " You can't think what a comfort winkles Is, winkles sn' bloaters. Wo ain't 'ad a bit 'o meat sence winter and aummut macky yon oan bay tor a penny's a treat now sn' than." Mrs, Lupklns' rent Wis threat, shillings t week for tht vary dirty room, tnd I aaked her how ahe managed to teed herself snd three children on from ons to three shillings, tbat la from twenty-five to seventy-five oenta mors. Remembering ths eemvUim school law I asked how It hsppened that th. children were st home. Bare feet and inability to pay the school fees were tht reason., Moll andJem had no shoes in ing much of the fact that a mangle was to me an unknown instrument of music, I bogged to be allowed an inspection. While tha heavy press was grinding ont coarse underwear 1 studied this aecond specimen otthe Whitechapel woman. She was a widow, like my first acquaintance, older, neater, -thin, .probably consumptive. 'Bean tnlkln' to Mrs. Lupklns, aint yet" she panted, turning the groaning handle round aud round. "Ever see 'er before! Not Then you can't think 'owshe'schaug. ed. W'en she come'ere last winter she was tbedecontest'oomanlnBuck'aRow. She kep' 'erself nice an* tidy, an'them children was slick as pins. Bnt she's got discouraged an' fell Into low company an' nex' time she's ont o' work she'll go on tho street, I've Been fifty women go tbat way an' I know the signs, Its 'er turn nex' trust me." To go on the street means inBucks Row to starve on the casual hire of prostitution Instead of starving on the hlre.of government shirts* The woman with the mangle had three children also and the four occupied one room. She had supported herself for three or four yeara by washing and mangling nt nine pence per dozen pieces. Sho paid 4 shillings a week for rent of a room a little larger than Mrs. Lnpkins's and was able to earn about 7 shillings a week ln summer ond 0 shillings a week when times were good ln winter. She had been doing, she considered, very well, but the work was too hard for her, and she was obliged to haveln sboy ones or twice a week to turn th. mangle while she Ui It, paying for his services» penny an hoar. A charity doctor had warned her that she was straining her cheat and that if ahe wanted to live Bhe must give up the work, but there was absolutely nothing else she conld do to maintain her children, and I shrewdly luspeoted, apropos ot her comment on Mra Lupklns, that In spite of her tidy room and efforts at respectability she waa weighing the choice between mangling herself Into a coffin snd going on the street. I saw women employed by umbrella manufacturers to knit the tops of tassels at 4 shillings ft pence per gross snd the work was so fine that tht gross1 kept them busy a week. I visited otber women making brushes a penny per hundred holes filled with fibres of hair. I fonnd ono woman making sacksfor the navy. Shewaa paid by the government 4 ahilllngsfor ten large sacks, each of which had light holes In It, four splices and two patches. Each must be sewn, roped and marked with a broad arrow. There were women making neckties at 3 shillings a gross andglrli wbo were paid sn pence per gross for making tho covers and traya of match boxes. I saw women making babies' boots and earning about two penes sn hour, women making paper bags, purses, life belts, baskets, tobacco poucbea and twenty other things which are done st home. Every day the pay for horn, business grows less, for many men wbo aro ont ot work take to these small occnpatlona and undersell tho women who a few years ago controlled tho home Industry market. Whitechapel women sell themselves because tbey have nothing else left to nil. The apprenticeship system of England tells heavily against the squalid children ot Whitechapel streets. "What will becomo of the swaima ot urchins lurking ln every passage!" I asked an intelligent woman who knows Whitechapel streets as other women know Belgravla, " These women can't apprentice their girls to milliners or dressmakers or other tradespeople, becauso they can't raise tho £25 ot £30 premium. They have not the faintest chance of learning any business that will yield living wages. "They will grow up aa strut Arab.," sho said," marry very yonng and without 30 shillings ahead. By and by work will fail and they will be driven to the streets for bread and lodging, If indeed their mothers did not sell them before they wero grown." Wiittecbapel Is an awful fact, for many of its women practically choose between semi-starvation nnd harlotry. Eliza Pdtoam Huatok. Land Kcglslrj Ordlnhncc, 1870 The N.

The wim and peaceful Christmas morn had scarcely been announced when a number of young men sallied up Mary Street uttering cries and whoops so hideous that many quiet citizens, rudoly awakened, imagined that some wild tribes from the plains wero raiding the town. Constable Curly threatened to lock them up if the noise was nut stopped, but they protested that they were only singing Christmas carols in native Cree, and, as tho conatablo was not familiar with tho poetic tongue, and could not prove otherwise, he allowed them to go. A Pretty die. No word has heen received from New Westminster as yet in reply to the date for the match between themselves and the Rovers. After the misrepresentations tho Westminster men made to the press and Iho empty boasts they have indulged in, it is rather queer that they are so very reluctant to meet the local club.

The musical festival afterwards, at tho barracks, in which tho Welsh minstrel and his great bass viol figured conspicuously, was a treat without doubt. To-night and to-morrow night, the "musical treat" will be continued. The Welsh minstrel is a character, and is worth hearing. •-*•*—> ■ TheCanOeldsas Batlroa-lcrs. The Tacoma Ledger of a recent dato has n long article, from which wo make the following extracts: "Thomas H. Cantield and daughter Burlington, Vermont," is written upon tne register of The Tacoma under the dato of Sunday. An old gentleman of quiet demeanor, rather under the medium size than otherwise, sauntered about the lobby of the hotel yesterday afternoon. Neither he nor the name upon the register attracted much attention in the ebb and flow of the crowd; few recognized either; only an occasional very old timer grasped the old gentleman's hand as though honored in being able to recognize him. And yet this old gentlemen, Thomas H, Canlield, was the man who located the township of Tacoma; it was he who made the purchase of 2500 acres of land around the head of Commencement bay in behalf of the railroad company for ita terminus while yet tho end uf Ihe tracks were more tlian a thousand milea away; it was he who first recognized in the west shores of Commencement bay a most excellent placo to invest money in real estate—no wus here ahead of any of us and he saw as clearly than as we do now, the great destiny of the northwest. And yet in the crowd that came and went and jostled MERRIT CHRISTMAS. A Bright aad BeaMlM Day aad Enjoyed by All. How it was Hiwut. A more bright aud glorious Christmas than wis yesterday has not been since the day was first honored. A bright and cloudless sky, a warm sun and tho air cloar and slightly frosty, with just a faint breeze stirring, was certainly alt that could be desired to make the Christmas perfection itself. From early morning the streets were full of people who seemed to be intent on wringing each other's hands off, while on every sido was hoard the exclamation, "A merry Christmas to you," The churches were well attended and eloquent sermons wore preached by the clergymen officiating. Few peoplo wont out of town to spend their Christmus, but many Victoria and Vancouver people dined with friends in this city. A number of driving parties wero out during the afternoon, but, tu thoso accustomed to eastern weather, it seemed a little odd to be riding in a carriage on Christmas day. At the Royal Columbian hospital 16 patients Bat down to dinner with Mr. W. H, Keary presiding at tho head of the table. A splendid spread wus on the board and all the patients seemed to enjoy it exceedingly. Tho board of directors acknowledge with thanks a Christmas card for each patient and a lino largo goose from Rev. Mrs. Scouler, a box uf apples from Mrs. Major, a bux of oranges-from Mr. M. Sinclair, a cake from Mrs. llarvoy, jam nnd plum pudding from Mrs. J. G. Jaques, and a cake from Kelly Bros. At St Mary's hospital twelve sat down to dinner and eight wore served in bed. The dinnor was thoroughly good in every respect and tho bill of fare included oysters, chickens, game. turkey, plum pudding and many othor good things. Tho most cf those items were presented to the hospital by friends, and the sisters desire us to express their sincere thanks for the samo. Tho hospital was filled with visitors during tho whole day. At the asylum 81 patients wore treated to an extra good dinner, and at tho provincial gaol 45 prisoners were served with roast beef and plum pudding in their cells. The members of the Independent order of Good Templars enjoyed a dinner nt thoir rooms yesterday after- noun, and it proved to be a must happy gathering. A free invitation had been given the general public to be present and many availed themselves of the opportunity. The dinner was excellent iu overy particular and a good time was spent by all. A large number uf private dinner parties were given last night, and all appear to have been most enjoyable affairs, as we have yet to hear of anyono who went home diasntisfied. Santa Clans paid his usual visit to Westminstor and it seems he was moro lavish than ever with his gifts.

He went away and returns in a few years to be scarcely recognized amid the crowds of witnesses to his wisdom on the streets, The story of Mr. Can- field's struggle in behalf of the Northern Pacific railroad before it was a railroad is as interesting as a love story —for probably to him more than to any other ono man is duo the success of the greatest of railroad enterprises. Indeed it is a love story, No man not thoroughly in love with his purpose would have clung to it with suoh ten* acity. Over threo columns of au interview follows in which Thomas H. Cantield tells the Ledger's representative of iho difficulties encountered and overcome by himself and others, in the sixties and early seventies, in behalf of the Northern Pacific railway undertaking.

Ekituk Columbia**:: — Would yon kindly allow me space in The Columbian for a few remarks on the strictures of my critic, "Hntopayor." By what system of reasoning thla gentleman arrives at his conclusions as to my "ill-concealed malice" against him is known only to himself aud his coadjutor, It Is imposeible to construe your correspondent's reference to municipal matters in any other light than that of straightforwardness. The different topics were broached merely for discussion, and had my oritio possessed the manliness of an honorable foe, to combat the matter in hand which he is pleased to dub "misleading and untrue," the controversy would, so far as I am concerned, havo ended with his communication; but, sinco ho has deemed it prudent to traduce me and refloat on my moral character, your correspondent owes it a duty to tho people "to whom," his critic says, "ho is indebted for his stay in Maple Ridge" and for "his bread and butter in this settlement," to reply to his scurrilous and contemptibly malignant personal ctfiision. If my critic is correct in his aspoi'sious, tlie majority of the people cannot fool otlierwiso than aggrieved to think that they have thoso many years been so successfully victimized by this "scoffer and snecror." Granting tho truth of his allegations as to my scoffs and sneers, back-biting, false statements in tho press, and the other calumnious charges which make un his letter, does he for a moment think that ho refloats severely on tbe people's judgment and power of discernment? Why, no on* lightened community would tolerate the Idea of contributing to the support of such a mouster of wickedness! My critic's microscopic brain had during last week so abundantly elaborated what it supposed my sins, that he found it expedient to consult hia deputy, and, after mature deliberation their combined intelligence began to excrete from their dormant chambers for the purpose of apprising tlio community of the character of their supposed malicious foe and silencing him forever. The expulsion of tlio contents of my critic's brain in tho columns of The Columbian, for tho sole benefit of the benighted peoplo of Maplo Ridge, it is hoped, may serve another useful purpose, in as far as the critic's mental calibre is concerned, for it may lead to the growth of a less morbid organ in place of his much exhausted one. But I must revert to tho subject of dispute. The matter of the municipal deficit is patent to all, not excepting my critic, who, by the way, admits of its existence, but expresses tho hopo that by tho end of the year it will be reduced to ton cents. How a municipal deficit is to bo reduced without a new assessment is difficult to understand. It may possibly be reduced by a donation from my oritio, which, at this time, would materially enhance hia chances of election. Tho vote of consuro referred to was not sprung on a purely temporanco meeting, Tlio question was submitted for discussion to a mass meeting composed of Good Templars and others. Of course, tho object of the meeting waa tho promotion of temperance, aud valuable suggestions were made by Rev. A. Tait, and Rev. M. .Stevens, Docs my critic suppose that the meeting should be postponed to suit his convenience? The time and placo of the mass meeting were amply advertised. Tlie crowded assemblage attested tlie fact that no undue advantage over anyono was contemplated or desired. The resolution referred to tbe evils resulting from tho salo of liquors off the boats at landings. This sale was stopped some years ago, as my critic, if possessed of tbe faculty of memory, well knows. Tlio licensing board, there being no Good Templar lodge then, re- quested tho municipal council to stop tho Bale, Tho matter was taken In hand and the salo for the timo stopped, Had a similar course, or an equally effective one, been pursued this year the action of tbe mass im-cting in its resolution would be uncalled for. My critic knows that Maple Ridge always has been a temperance settlement, and although liquor licenses were granted, it was contrary to the wishes of tho majority of the settlers. The present Good Templar's lodge is only 15 months in existence, and although ft embraces within its fold a large number of members, it by no means follows tbat the majority of the settlers are "good templars." There arc many who will not join a lodge, but aro nevertheless temperance people. Tho allusions to my relation to tlio temperance movement, which had its inception prior to my coming here, arc as every ono knows, charactcrestic of "ratepayer a" own actions In tho promises.
