ELEVATE THE YOUNG. The churches of Revelstoke are not doing their duty by providing healthy mental training for the young people of tho city. There are no more important means of keeping in touch with and elevating the calibre of future citizens than by literary and debating societies conducted on u broader ground than sectarianism. The Methodist Church does some work in this direction through ihe Ep- worth League, but if each church had associated with it a well organised literary and debating society its influence for good would be vastly extended, as u desire for Belt-improvement would he encouraged and maintained among the members of these societies.

Dignified snd elderly memliers rolled in their leal! tnd nudged each other nud yelled with laughter, Hut Henderson continued to nn-ss hit point. Alter an acrinilnoiii discussion, hn ran a division through which tied. Patterson (Islands) was chairman ol the committee, and he promptly gave Henderson his casting vote, and liy thil narrow majority poor Kaniloops wai deprived of the iloliriOm pleasure of being ptrt and ptrcel ol the projected railway. The Statutes and Journals Act paiied its third reading, ind llio Attorney-General's Aot ti amend the Coal Minos Regulation Aot, and the Act to amend the Lnml Act, Imth putted their second reading On tho latter measure tho Chief Commissioner, who ii the mover, spoke at con- lidertblo length, pointing out the object! of the different amending cltuiet. Thett have already been outlined in thil correi|K)n'!('iicr, and need not, therefore, be recapitulated now, VlCTOWi, B. C., Feb. 15th, 11)06. To-day has been ono ol itriln. Alter report! and petition! ol various lorti hid been presented, and tho usual hatch ot Opposition ipuitions an- iwtred, the House proceeded with the debate on the second reading ol thc Act to amend the ram, WINES REGULATION ACT. The Bill passed through committee tnd was reported. TheHmuc then took tip the adjourned debite on the bill Ior reducing the liouri ot LABOUR IX BMBI.TKRB. Hon. K. McBride, Premier and Minister ot Minei, opposed tho bill. It wit, lie pointed out, to all intents and purposes the same measure at hid been defeated last session, and it hid been clearly demonitraled at that time how much injury would remit from the pining ot inch a metiure. The bill would intlict immense injury on the mining and imelting induitrict projeoled.inveitmenti of capital would be abandoned, tnd imelting operationi would leave Britith Columbia and go tcross the lint. Britiih Columbit industries were juit commencing to git on their feet, tnd it would bt a most unwiie proceeding to pan any legislation which would tend to htm- per the development ol what promised to become the gretteit imelting centre on the American continent. (Ap- pittite). J. R. Brown (Greenwood) laid this wai not the tamt bill as last year. He madt a lengthy attack on the Govern- tCent, admitting labour condition! hid greatly improved, but ittting no credit was due ti the Government for it. This meritorious condition hid lietn brought about solely by the leader ot the Opposition. (Criet of " Oh, Oh!" tnd laughter). Hon, Capt. Tatlow pointed out that the member (or Greenwood was in error; the two measures were practically identical. Mr. Patterson (Islands) mad- a strong speech in opposition to the lull. He would never, he said, vote lor any iiHrtturt) which would prevent a workman Irom telling his labour lor us tinny hniirs as he liked Such nieai- uretai the present one were bud Ior tniployer and workman alike. II this bill was once pissed, a vory slight drop in Ihe present high prices nl metals would limply paralyse the province. Mr. Williaiui itid the industry was young and weak and it was well to chain it up, became, as soon as it grew liig.il would Iioib the whole Legislature. Geo. Finer (Giand Fork!) made in tiniest oppeol to thn House to kill thil sort ol legislation without any delay. .On motion of Mr. Evam (Cowichan) the debate wai adjourned. Mr, Price Ellison moved the second reading of the TELEPHONE BILL in an excellent speech, pointing out the necessity ol the incisure and the desirability ol regulating in the matter of exorbitant rates. A long ditct.ision followed. The debate adjourned. Ptrker Williams (Newcastle) then moved tho second reading of his Matter tnd Servants Act, the object of which ii, briefly, that all workmen shall bo paid every two weeks, in lull. Mr. Bowser (Vancouver) itated tlie measure wai ridiculous, iinnecssary and a breach tl eiiiting oontractt. SCENE IN THE HOUSE. The Home then proceeded to consider the report on the University Bill, tnd thil wai where the trouble began. Both the Opposition and the Socialist! took tht ground, thtt the Bill wai designed to hand ov.'r thc higher ((location ol the province to Mot-till Univenity. Hawthornthwaite moved an intendment that nothing in tlio Bill should confer special privileges on control o( ptiblio educttion in tlie province upon McGill Univenity. A wild debate followed in which Columbia College, the Methodist Church and sectarian schools were dragged into the controversy. Haw- thorntliwaite'iamendment was finally defeated by 10 to 15. Then Mr. Oliver moved that the agreement! referred to should be (or the term ol one year only. This amendment wai likewise defeated by 11) to 15, and ho offered the Home an amending clause to tlie effect that nothing contained in the Bill should be deemed to cooler any exclusive rights whatever upon McGill Univenity. The amendment wti dcleated by 111 to 15. Mr, Oliver proposed (lie adjournment ol I ll,'ill- ute. Mr, Cotton, however, moved the question he nuw put ou a divisi,,n. This resulted iu a lie, m llio hell was not rung, several meniliers ol thu (jlovornnicnt were out ul life Chamber, uud iioiisiileriihle c,illusion leinneil?

The Premier suid that he had no Intention of taking uny notice of tho incident. It was a mislako as the adverse vole alluded lo hy llis honorable Irieiid was duo tu a miscount, and nobody knew it better than tht: mom- Iter lor Rosslnnil. Mr. Mueiloiuild suid thnt thoro win no mistake, as tho vote was taken twice (Laughter and a voico from the Government seats. " If it was, that makes tho mistake tho bigger.") A 111(1 OHI1EK. John Oliver moved a humble address lie presented to His Honor the Lieut, Gover or, praying that he would cause copies ol all Orders in-Counoil passed since lirst nl July, WOii, to he presented to tlie House at nnco. Mr. MoBride said it would be simply impossible if every man who wished to mako trouble could get a special permit to raiiBiick tho department, Thero was bminoss in every government which wai antl should be kept private, just as in ordinary business firms. Mr. Brown disagreed with the Premier'! statement us to the privacy ol orders in council. Mr. 'lawthornwaile laid the mem licr fur Doha might lmvo ruined the Prior government; ho need not Hatter himself ho wus going to ruin this. (Shoutsol laughter.) Motion defcittod 2(1 to til. Hon. F.J.
