The audience which the Austrian ambassador, Count Thurn, had with the Emperor yesterday probably has had something to do with this.

Somewhere in the foot-hills of the Coast Range, lurks' a white -man, who fatally shot a relative. This happened-in the .heart of civilization. According to reports Gun-a- noot has recently visited the camp of white men in- the far north. Moses Paul, disguised as a klootchman attended the annual fair in his native town. So much for his fear of the strong arm of the law. .True, the country is mountainous, and few white men care to follow a murderer into the mountain fastnesses. But should not thi3 fact be an additional reason making obvious the need of a' well organized and thoroughly equipped force of police. Do we want to be known abroad as. a people who tolerate law breaking"? . Yet the fair name of British Columbia is already besmirched in this respect, and the . responsibility for this must rest with the Attorney-General alone. The jails of thei province are inadequate, so the women sen- ful as to be able to swerve Mr. Bowser's department from the straight and narrow path? ',;One would like to fancy the McBride ' ministers ' too anxious for the safety of the Empire to give their attention to the administrative business, but that is hardly possible. Left to themselves the well oiled wheels -of the departments would run without a hitch,-and no departmental head, police, magistrate, crown counsel.'of' jail warden ; would dare to set .so .unconstitutional-a precedent as" to , interfere with the course of justice .and public order." ��������� , - - "It is a welL established fact that, the provincial police in British Columbia has been of late years .absolutely demoralized' by 'the<appointment of officers, who have every qualification for'their jobs, except the" necessary ones, and :it is for' this reason that there are more known homicides in\ that, province than in all the others put together, despite,the 'the^organizedrnanhunt^in which they have engaged from, time to time. -It' will.' be, remembered ai'at'old'Bill Miner was picked up ,by the mounted- police^ although they were in a strange country, and-that almost."every important arrest has been'nnade as the results of the efforts of municipal police or private detective agencies:" ' - How long- is this condition of things to continue unremedied? o ���������Bella Coola has a provincial constable, capable,as he is popular. The only, constable within ������ ,radius of. 250 miles, and without a hprse he is responsible for the lives and property of the British Columbia and the Pacific Ocean. . c Sundry .interested parties have endeavored to show that our West Indian possessions are no longer of the commercial importance that they - fprmerly were; and further, that their geographical position would naturally make them tributary, to the United States. . *' ' r ' r , There is^ no* doubt that the latter country would like to see the exchange effected, forjhe portion of Alaskan territory in .question is of no very great value to her, while any of the'West Indian Islands, would be an undoubted acquisition.- ' In, view, however, of the approaching completion of the Panama Canal, our West. Indian" possessions-appear in a new ',asr pect.;, *'... -\ff ,- / - 'v ''^'/",", r Once ^ the canah is completed," these islands become of very great strategical importance;'ex-, tending as they do from the Ba-. hamas on the north to Trinidad ., Having jn view the immense saving in distance of ocean routes that the .canal will afford, it is obvious that this route would become ,of vast importance in the event of war breaking out between any of the great maritine powers. The control, therefore, of the West Indian Islands, by any power means, as a consequence, the control of ingress and egress to and from the canal. It is clear then that' the British Empire, being as.it its, an essentially maritine power, must at all costs maintain her hold upon any and all, possessions, which conduce to the control of- this important ocean> thoroughfare: We, in British Columbia, are vitally interested in this question, exposed as we are to attack from the Pacific, and at the same time separated, by such an immense distance, from the great centre of our naval power. 1 Even although a portion of our province, may be shut out from direct access to the shores of .the P^cinc;'-we- should be far/sighted enough, and sufficiently patriotic, to, accept a. partial disadvantage to* ourselves, for the good of- the Empire as a whole.
