Til'.il of' Colonial Ollice 1 juities, ao-cali.fl, she' tutlhetl to Ot- t.w«., Cplural,i».i*I<« Hglit,:.. Tha moment she became a Frovince of * tha Dominion-, .it ,wa« to dtt*,wa,.not I London, alia had a right to look for tl justice—for the ratlrest of griev- anees, it she had nny. in 1871 alio had a grievance. At least, her politicians persuaded her that she httd. She was induced to sailbily reject all overtures from Ottawa and pros- ' trate herself at the foot of the throne. Aud what did she get it there t' The famous "C'nrharvou i Terms." It has been said that "one [■ false step leads to another." And ; so it was here. Columbia repeated j] her appeals to Dowtnng-Street, and aha lost ground every time. Every [ one of these appeals to England has been it mistake—the last tlie greatest mistake of all. Just look at the result of the last appeal. De Cosmos 'Declaims it himself; nor need we lead between tile Hues to find it. Sir John Macdonald openly and distinctly "KpudiuttJa Lord Kimberley's basis of settlement" and dailies any obligation to con struct thtj Island. Bail way j and as for compensation for delays, "h. would neither name a sum of money nm* any sum"—whatever tint may mean. Thus it will be seen that tha Canadiah Premier, goaded on by Columbia's iill|Kii'tuniti.a and foolisli appeala to the Queen, has at lust become defiant; What is to be done now I "To DowniiigStieet!'' shouts our "Special Agent." "TIM rights of the Province should lit1 maintained at all hazards." CWtaiuly. But what "rights of the Province" are in danger just now I Hallway work is going on quite as fast as could reasonably be expected—quite as fast as is good fur Columbia, and quite Mn fast as the public opinion Of the Dominion will sanction. In truth, tho present administration has strained its power to do all that it was possible td do filr us in . this respect. It ia quite clear that, by "the rights of the Province," DeCosmos weans his hobby of a gulf ferry aud the torlltinus nf the Canadian Pacific Railway at Esqnimalt It might he interesting to know what the suppressed portions .df the despatch are; but whatever I they may ha, it is sum'ciclitly obvious that our "Special Agent" has 'had another row with Sir John aud has threatened hiin with another ap|ieal to the Qillien— to ask Her Majesty's Government to compel Sir John to do what lit has plainly declared he will not do, and wllfit Columbia does not desire him to do. We have said past appeals to ling- land have been so many mistakes. An appeal now would be worse' than a mistake; It would be a cf'imc / DeCosmos asks, implores to ha sent on another mission to London to push his lltrohy at the Colonial Office. Will Walkem dare to send him I New . Westminster helped to tend him last year, and it has befin lean that hia Chief object «B to rob her of tilt railway tarniilifla. This waa stoutly denied by tha mis- representatives of the city and district who voWtl with the government. It waa denied by the local organ ; but the facta are all out now, and denial ia no longer possible. Let the people he' on tlieir guard. It ia o*il the curds that another attempt sImII be wade to deprive the .Mainland of its rights. Of course there is ho danger (if the attempt ^^aiicceeding. But tllif people should lie spared the liuufllii'Ooii und the expense.

This should not he so. Hume industry, all other things being equal, should always have the preference. Loyalty to the community one lives in is a sacred duty. TitYwii Auant. — Senators Miller and Farley havo each introduced an anti-Chinese Bill. Miller's limits the restriction to ten years, Farley's to sixteen. The ground upon which it is asserted the President votoed the last one was the excessive period of its duration; and it was even stated that he would not have objected to ten years. His sincerity will probably soon be put to the test; but it seems doubtful whether the majority in either House will be found so large this time. i. MaiusK Accident. — On Friday, during the prevalence of a gale, three sailors and the second mate of the barque Silas AT. Curtis, lying in Royal Roads, were returning to the ship in a small boat from Esquimalt. When opposite tho lagoon tbo boat was swamped, and the three sailors were drowned.

Tbe syndicate Beeking incorporation for (his purpose is a local one. We hear that an opposition syndicate seeking a bill for the sune purpose has jumped in and that there will now be a railway war—a tempest in a tea-pot. It has been ever thus with poor, divided New Westminster. A Pressing Want, The necessity fur more facile, enm- miiiiicatioh between this city ami Burrard lulot is, so fully recognized by everyone (toptainted with th0.subject (hat thero .•** really no occasion tog<> over tiui thread-hare arguments already so familiar to every:reader nf iIim journal; but at this Beamm of the year, whon tho road usually becomes almost iin-iaiisahlc, we may be excused for reverting tu the subject. As has been pointed nut more than once, the cheapest and best way to meet the wants of the communities interested is to open a new road generally following the line of what is commonly known us the "False Creek Trail." We are assured by those who ought to know that it would actually cost less to open up this road than it Would to send De- Cosmos to England on one of his foul's errands. But we suppose tho chances of getting the present government to devote revenue to anything so practical and ho useful are very slight. They think .nothing of throwing away thirty or forty thousand dollars at a time upon the graving-dock, a work which is admitted even by their own organ to be "a costly gew-gaw which can never be a cent's worth of benefit'to the tax-payers on the mainland"*, hut you may importune them for years in vain for the expenditure of two or three thousand for tin purpose of making passably good the most used piece of road in the country. How is it possible for the representatives of the people in this part of the province conscientiously to support such a government ? Tlio Blue Shirts of Cariboo. Tho Premier's attack on the junior member for Cariboo is likely to redound to the attacker's discomfiture, "I have gummed iu my scrap-book," said tho Premier, "two amendments to tho mining bill prepared by the honorable gentleman and I intend to use them in the next election canvass to show the miners of Cariboo bow little tho member knows about constitutional law.1' In other words, Mr. Walkem threatens to show the miners of Cariboo that one of themselves is unfit to represent them because he drew up an amondmeut which was not iu accordance with constitutional law; that because he did not have the advantage of an early education his humble but not the less practical efforts tu reform the horrid botch potch known as the mining bill at which the premier lias been tinkering for ton years without producing a perfect measure, are not entitled to consideration. Mr. Ferguson is not a pretentious man, but he is a very remarkable one. At ten years of age be went to work ib a'coal mine, nnd until he was 1(1 years of age he could, neither read nor write. .Self- taught,: hard working and-reliable, he wax. elected by hia fellow-mi nan to represent then, in' the' House; and when Mr. "Walkom slurs Mr. Ferguson because he did nnt have the advantage of nn early education he casts a rellectimi on all "blue shifted miners," whom he aftec** so much to admire. Mr. Walkein had early education-* 1 advantages; but even tli-it f.ict has not prevented him b-ing held up before the Dominion liy high judicial authority aa knowing nothing of cotrt- Btitiitioiuil law. It is safe to say that had he been burn a coal-miner he would have always remained one. Said tho Western Judge to tho Irishman, "Paddy, you'd have been a long time in Ireland before you'd have slept with a Judge." Whereupon Pat retorted, "Faith an' you'd have been a long timo in Ireland hefore you'd have been a Judge."—Colonist. Ilighl) Proper. To-day Mr. Ferguson will, if permitted, move a resolution to thoVflcct that it is desirable the provincial government should take immediate step.* for tho transference bf the dry-dock to the Imperial Government. The move is a most proper one. The work has always appeared to us to bu more uf au Imperial tliau a provincial necessity; and in order that tlio dock might, meet the Imperial requirements, our government greatly enlarged it, substituted for a wooden bottom a cement one nearly 7 feel thick, and otherwise altered the dimensions and plans, luitil the cost of the dock was nearly doubled; and yet after all that they stipulated that her Majesty's ships shall have the free use of it, in consideration ef contributing §250,000, equal to about one-fourth of its prospective cost. The arrangement We have always considered a most unfair one to tbe province. Now that the province Muds itself utterly unable to complete the work? without incurring the most serious financial embarrassment, such a din- position of it would bu wise un the part of the Provinco and no inure than fair ou the part of Imperial Government,. But will the provincial government be willing to surrender this "costly gew-gaw?" When they unfortunately returned to power, just four years ago, they found that negotiations with a similar object were in progress, and with every prospect uf a successful is-uie; bu: one of their very lirst official acts was to peremptorily break off these negotiations. More recently the Dominion Government, seeing what a deplorable bungle our ministers were making of it, ollerud to take the dock off our hands and complete it at the joint expense of Canada aud England; but our infatuated ministers rejected the oiler! In all probability they will meet Mr. Ferguson's resolution by same technical objection. It would not surprise us if they instructed Mr. Speaker to rule it nut of order, thereby themselves avoiding the odium of opposing it. We shall soon seo. The Veto—What Will Tliey Do? One almost shrinks from contemplating the possibilities. The San Francisco Argonaut, nn able and very conservative journal, anticipating the possibility of veto, says': "If for any reason, or from any cause, or by vir- tlie of ami accident, or by decision of any court, or neglect of any authority, this law shall not be passed; or, being passed, shall not be respected, observed and enforced, then this Chinese question will o]ten out for coiif.idonitioii in a dilferent Way. If the law will not aid us, and the Government will not protect us, then we may consider what we may do for self-defense, outside of the law, and iu defiance of governmental neglect. When we shall have exhausted every peaceable remedy known tu our system, and made the last appeal to our country for its protection, and hare failed to obtain any relief against this Chinese invasion, we may then be permitted to remember that it is the privilege of citizenship to resist a wrung, otherwise irremediable, by an appeal iu Nature's higher law of self-protection." It must be admitted that the people most affected by this Chinese armada, the people of California, have certainly behaved in a most exemplary manner under circumstances of a peculiarly aggravating nature. Patient aud law- abiding they haVe-beeh,,almost tn a fault. Pusillanimous we knnW they are.not. Indeed; the very .qualities which have enabled them to practice such forbearance all theso years are precisely those that will, when all con* stituttonal means have-bean exhausted, lead to a determined "appeal tn Nature's higher IftW of 8HU--PH0TBCTI0N." Writing tin tlio 24th of March, Frank Pixley, himself a Republican, said an executive veto would destroy the Re; fiublicaii party—that there would no miger bo.,a Ilepublican Darty in California! . "tot .this law'Mi" lie wrbte, "and ambitious Eastom aspirants for {.residential electoral -votes must not ook across the Rooky Mountains." Well, the veto has: been given. Tlie law lint fiiletl ' And nflw* Fife Wheat. The miliars of'Manitoba nnd the North-West havo issued a circular setting forth in forcible ferms the superiority of "Dark Scotch Fife Wheat" over all other kinds for the soil and climate of that country, and stating that they will pay fifty" cents a bushel more for.it than for other sorts. To the circular ia appended the following: "Appreciating the importance nf the above, the Canadian Pacific Kail- way Company will transport seed wheat westward free of charge, provided it is unmixed dark Scotch Fife. All other varieties and mixed wheat will bo charged full tariff rates. W. C. VamHorne, Gen. Man. C. P. ft. Winnipeg, March 1st, 1882." It might be worth the while of our farmers in tlm Provinco to give the dark Scutch Fife a trial.

Tt is sure to fall flat, Witli such prospects as you apeak of, looming in the distance." "Mean thing!" "Bid unele seem to enjoy it?'' naked Mrs. Gpui^roUgh. , "He way delighted with the meeting. Ha saw lots of faces that he knew on the platform, and if ho had not beon so ■hy, I am sure some of those gentlemen would have given him a hearty welcome. But, uf course, he wouldn't make any advances to them." "Just like him!" "It gave me an odd sensation,'' .Judith went on "to see all those multitudes, We are ambitious, you know, Del, you and I." "Of libraries!" suggested Rhoda. "Rut surely it would satisfy any ambition to walk on a platform, and on the instant of one's appearance to be theertd madly by twenty-five thousand Yflices**, u if they never ment to leave off." "Yes, indeed. And did they groan? I have often wondered what groaning •n a large scale could bu like.'' "Oh, yes! * They groaned. It has a most extraordinary' effect. There's something fearful in it. When any one whom they didn't like was mentioned,, you know, then they hooted and groaned. There was a youiiy: man near to us whom I watched a little. He was standing close to the end of our bench; I never saw any face look so earnest, or express such an intensity of interest; I think his eyes had a great deal to do with it. I never •aw eyes that gleamed like \\i%, nor any face that took such an expression uf scorn and contempt. I am sure that young man has a terrible tongue and a hot temper." "Dear me! This is thrilling!" said Rhoda, holding up a very dilapidated linen table-napkin which she was supposed to be repairing, and then laving it down. "I see now what you wero interested in. It was the young man, not the: meeting. Proceed, I implore yon!" "Nu; I was interested in him as expressing the opinion of the meeting in a condensed form aa it were. The spirit that I saw in his face was the general spirit felt, I am sure. And oddly enough when tho meeting was over, he came to my assistance when I had got separated from uncle, fort-hero were about one hundred and fifty thousand in nil." "Tremendous!" remarked Delphine. "E—normousl" cried Rhoda. "And this interesting young man; how many more times did you see him V "Once," replied Judith, repressing a smile., ■ , "You did! This is portentious! I suppose you cried, 'Ha! Do I behold iny doom ? Speak, stranger, whence and what art thou?' But where did you see:'hhn again? I am interested, everything's interesting here." "Attth* theatre." "No! And did ho see you?" "He saw us; yen, distinctly. I saw him in the upper circle pointing us out to " "To,'his friend, the friend of the hero ? What was his friend liko 1 Any one in whom I could take an interest 1" "I really don't know. She was one of the prettiest creatures I ever saw in iny life, despite her vulgarity aud affectation." lt8ksJ It wasau/ie."' "Yes.* She was liis sweetheart, my dear. No one could possibly have mistaken that fact." "Oh—hi" Rhoda groaned. "How you dash my hopes to the ground! Upon the whole, I think onr hero is more interesting than yours." "Yours?" laughed Judith, provnk- ingly. "Which? Who? Where? Do tell me about him." "You saw our hero this afternoon. Unreasoning jealousy alone makes you try to deny it. And he is a gentleman by birth aud breeding, who lives at home at ease, and is not engaged to h vulgar girl whom he takes to the upper circle, not that I know where that is, but you mention it so suoeringly that I am sure it must be au inferior part of the house. No, I think, taken all in all, Delphine, we prefer our hero to this groaning, hooting, gleaming, bad-tempered one of Judith's." Joining in the chorus of laughter which greeted her observations, Rhoda departed, saying she had a little cooking to do. Judith and Delphine had much to talk about, but Mr. Danesdale's name was not mentioned again until late at night, when they were both in their repeotive beds, and Judith called from her room to Dolphiue's which opened into it:" "By the way, Del, what is Mr. Danesdale's name? His Christian name, by which he is known to those who love hiin best, you know?" "Randulf," came sleepily from the other room. "Randulf— what a queer name!" "It uiiifht havo been better. Good night, dear!" "GotJdV night. Yes, I remember now, I have heard Philippa speak of 'Randulf.'" The morning broke fine, but with a delicate white mist over overything, swathing Addlebrough hill and the other green fells which shut in the dale, and enwrapping the woods which filled the hollows and gorges iu the said hills. The Misses Oouisbrough, surveying the prospect from the windows of the break fast-room, decided that it was going to be a glorious day, and that they would go out and spend the morning at High Gill, where it ■would be sheltered nnd sunny. There was ! absolutely nothing to prevent thorn from going out when, and f"r ns long as they choso. No numerous engagements; no probable callers, or other claims upon their time and attention existed, to detain Judith and Delphine and Rhoda Conisbrough were girls whose life had its trials. Fathorless, brotherless, and »«ry poor, they had never know nny uther existence than the one they led now. Mr* Coniabrough's income was ol the veiy'slenderest proportions. She possessed tho house she lived in, it hflU bfttt) given by old John Aglion by's father to his daughter, Mrs. Con- nisbrough's mother; and she, as an I only child, had inherited it. The years ef hor married life had been passed there, with the clergyman her husband. Hot* income was sufficient, by strict economy, to maintain herself and her daughters in respectability; that Biul kind of respectability whicli has to be over on the alert to conceal the scantiness of the clothing that is beneath the decent outside garment. They had enough pf food, enough of firing, and a servant to wait upon them and keep up appearances before outside eyes. There,* tlieir comforts might almost be said to end. The girls had never known what real comfort or plenty meant. What few aud meager pretenses of luxury thoy had ever known, had come through the hands of their great-uncle, whose heiresses they wero supposed to be, but who loved to keep the reins of power in his own hand, and make his favors appreciated through thoir very rarity. His help had procured them un occasional visit to the seaside, an occasional dress for sonic rare and seldom-occurring festivity, an unfroquerifc sudden little expedition like this of Judith's to some nsigliboriug town with him. It was a pinched, cramped, sordid life, and they were ono and all girls of mind and spirit; girls who could not vegetate in activity without sutfuring from it, mentally aud morally. Thoy did suffer. Active brailis and quick imaginations they all possessed—possessed also intellect of no mean order and apparently these things had been given them for no other purpose than that Lhey might suppress all their promptings, Everywhere, turn where they would, even in this quiet dale at the world's end, there met tlioui beauty aud pleasures, aud opportunities for enjoyment, and everywhere and always thoy were confronted by the ono grinding answer to all wishes of that kind—"Thoro is nu money." Women liko theso it is who suffer tortures undreamed of by the busy and active, by tlioso whose hands aro full, and whoso lives aro running over with occupation; who may use their brains, and turn tlieir talents into money, or exercise thoui in benevolent works. Such cannot know the degrading, tho souring in Alienee of a life of monotonous poverty, of gray care, of the pinching and scraping wliich results in no gain, no profit., which has for its sole object to hide from inquisitive ur iudiilerent neighbors the real oxtuni; of the barrenness of the land. They were youiiy yet; tbey hail rubbed tin somehow. Rhoda was still too much n child, lived ton intensely in tho present, and rejoiced too much in the mere fact of a life of perfect health aud perfect ignorance to have suffered much so far. But her sisters suffered, ami suffered the moro iu knowing that the social law was no longer so stringent, which used to decree for women in their position, "Thus far and no farther. Thou shall work, not for honorable profit, but to conceal thy inherited poverty. Thou shalt wither aud die where thou art- ■ only thou shalt not come forward, nor have thy name spoken, for that is a shame.'' And, if circumstances did not change, Rhoda too would suffer in years to come. Mrs. Conisbrough said that it was tlieir wretched poverty that was at the bottom of it all. It was poverty which, prevented her from dressing her daughters suitably, and taking them out into the society they were litted for. "Had I been able to do that," she often said, "both Judith and Delphine would marry easily. Any ono can see that Judith goes about liko a queen; and Delphine's face, if she had her proper chances, would set a score of muu raving. Instead of which they are wait—waiting here; seeing no one, doing nothing, and their uncle will do nothing to help me, though you would think that out of sheer self-rcspuct he would wish tlicui to make a different appearance in thu world." Judith, tired of theso outbursts, and ashamed of hearing them, occasionally remonstrated. A more than usually open discussion had taken place on tho subject only u day or two before her departure with her great-uncle for Irkford. "Political meetings," Mrs. Conisbrough had complained, "were not the places where girls found husbands. Their uncle could tako them to such places just to gratify himself, but he obstinately closed his eyes against doing anything which was for thoir real good." Judith's indignation had been roused, and she had spoken out, more plainly than was her wont, to her mother. "I would not tako a penny from iny uncle, mother, to do as you seem to think we ought to de. You mean, I suppose, to buy dresses, and go to balls and other places for men to look at us, and fall iu lovo with us. It is disgusting, aud, for my part, if he offered me the invaluable chance to-morrow, with the alternative of never leaving Yoresett again, I know which 1 would choose. But if he would give me a hundred pounds now, to do as I liko with I would not bo here another week." "Why, what in tho werld would you do with it?" "I should do the only thing that I know of as being open to mo. As I havo never been properly educated, and all my accomplishments consist of a few songs which i Ring very badly, no one would take me to teach their children. Besides, I can't teach, though I can learn as fast as anybody. I should go to some large town, such as Irkford or Leeds, aud go to thu principal doetor in it, and tell him how much money I had got, and ask him whether I could bo mado into a nurse," "Preposterous 1" said Mrs, Conisbrough crossly. "It would be hateful, nnd I should loathe it at first. But I am able to do nothing else, aud it Is not an expensive trade fo loam. It would earn my bread. I should be of somo use to some one ; for there must bo people to do the drudgery of this world, and it would ho, oil, the whole universe higher than selling myself to n man in exchange for a homo and clothing. Any girl out of the street can do that." "Judith, I forbid you over to utter such coarso, horrible expressions again in my hearing. To speak in that way of marriage—the happiest and holiest institution thero is." "If that is what you call marriage, give me unholy institutions." (To heCoiitiiiitfrl.l T. R.
