Hor.ASBD.-l' VOLUME 2 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, 1887. NUMBERS} gailg British tEfftnmbwn Wodaetdey ■venlng. Frtnary t, IMT. It, ii simply a pieco of history, that % yiars past tho railways of the eoaniry'have abussd oertain conditional jiitilegei with;which they are endowed, and turned 'them to their own benefit, and the advantage of a favored few, to the injury of the community at large; and it is high time tbat an enquiry suoh as is now being instituted j were made, in the interest of the many. '■ Nd more effectual means can be employed to bring about a right under standing regarding tbe best methods of dealing with railway companies in their relation to the public, than through the agenoy of a royal commission. In the United States the establishment of royal commissions have worked incalculable good, and have boen the cause of remedying many of the abuses whioh previously existed, besides reconciling conflicting opinions regarding the duties of railways to the publio.—Montreal Trade Bulletin. A daring member of the United States congress has brought before that great body a bill rendering it illegal for any nilway company tn heat passenger cars by a fire in a car, or light them with any device requiring a reservoir of inflammable material in the oar. The railway lobby will, ot course, suppress this man, and laugh his measure out of the house by declaring that the present furnace is the only practical method of heating a passenger oar. As the elevated railway oars in New York are heated with steam from the engine; and the system has been so perfected that the cars are heated mainly by the steam which would otherwise escape during .stoppages, tbis is about as true as the statement that there is no such thing as an effective automatic coupling. The railway companies have been allowed to go on killing tlieir brakemen in the regular eourec-<#-business, because it would be a very expensive operation to provide all the freight cars on this continent with new automatic ■ brakes aud couplings. Will the people allow them to go on and burn up a proportion of their passengers yearly, because to do away with the danger of passenger oars burning up would entail a moderate expenditure of money! Is this not one of the things for whioh we' want a railway commission!— Montreal Witness. Now comes Brigham Young raised from the dead to revisit his people and oonflrm them in the faith. At present he is said to be lying in close retirement, in the llesh, near Lincoln, Neb., receiving delegations of Mormon leaders and making arrangements for his second advent. Soon he is expected to show himself among the saints with instruction! and oommands from the further side of the grave, Brigham "was dead' to begin with, .There was no doubt whatever about that." The grain of truth in the report seems to be that the Mormon leaders have found an old gentleman, with a physical resemblance to the defunct prophet, and are coaching him for hia part. What they expect to accomplish by his resurrection remains to be shown. Very likely the. fraud will be widely accepted by the Mormon masses, and the message of the pretender will result In some additions to the "Book of Doctrines and Covenants," whioh will command the implicit obedienoe of the saints. Just now the members of the hierarchy aie in a bad fix.{' The hand of' the law is pressing heavily upon them for their sins against decency and morality, Something mult be done to preserve their prestige. If they disobey the law they are sent to the "pen." If they obey they confess judgment. • In either ease they are discredited with their followers, If they oan go before the people with a resurrected prophet and a new revelation, commanding a course of action whioh will keep them bound to the teachings of the priesthood, without antagonising the laws of the land, the leaders will save their credit. Likely enough the new gospel, should it come, will take this form. It it results in commanding obedienoe to the law on the part of: the Mormons, the deception may be pardoned. If otherwise, it might be a good idea to arrest the resurrected prophet as a polygamist, and judicially decide whether Brigham Young's numerous relicts are wives or widows.. If the former, the pro phet goes io jail; if the latter, he is no resurrected prophet. — S. F. Bulletin. T-V.WrOLF SIIITH, M.D. OFKIOE-Olarkson Htiwt, opposito teu entrance of Colonial Hotel.

Burgess guile §titish Columbian Wedneaday Evening, rekmary *, 1S8J, The Canadian Gazette states that the total emigration from Great ISrit- aiii, and Ireland during tlie year 1888 was Cfi,fi03 in excess of the previous' year.' In December tho emigration was over 13,000, and showed.nn increase of about 3,000 over the same month last year. The total exodus for the year was. 233,- 119 persons of British origin, Di,- 229 foreigners, and 2,540 whose nationality was not distinguished, making a total of 330,888, ns against 264,38fr''diiring 188».'~ »*•""■ ' . ■•' ■■■■■ We have no fault to find with Mr, Ohisholm's address to the electors of this district which we published yesterday. The address deals with some of the most important questions which have occupied the attention'ofthe people during the pastjarid which are calling for present? aotion*''1 There are some other things, however, upon which the address is significantly silent. One is the question of temperance, a que»tU>n.#hich~ every year is coming iuto greater prominence both in British Oolumbia and in the east. Mr. Chisholm doubtless shows his discretion -in avoiding the temperance issue. He knows well enough that the business in whicli he has for years beeu engaged is a business that has cursed this country and every country where il has been tolerated. He knows that a man whose conduct is inspired by right motives—a man who felt the responsibility of his acts and influence —could not permit himself, even for the sake of gain, to engage iu such a business. The position is not capable of defence, and under, the circumstances silence may be discreet. It is on this very question that we are opposed to Mr. Ohisholm's election. The Chicago correspondent of the Winnipeg Sun says; The broken-off match between Spies and Miss Van Zandt is now a thing of the past, and after being a wonder for a few days, has dropped out of the public recollection. The little episode greatly cheered up the spirits of the jailed anarchists, however. They like notoriety, in fact they thrive on it. "-For some time -they had dropped out of the public view altogether, and while they were very comfortable jn jail, theJact that the newspapers said nothing about the*a**>rera*freafe on tlfjir minds. The wsult of tie- affair though is the»creation of a good deal of public sentiment about Spies. He is an agnostic and an unbeliever in the sacred rite of marriage, and his efforts to prey on the affections of , an innocent and romantic young jjirl and trap her into his net are generally condemned. It is understood'that the match is broken off. in consequence of a remark let drop by Mr. Spies to the effect that no marriage was necessary, and that he and Miss Van Zandt could live together: without it. Spies is also authority for the opinion that he has more respect for the wantons on the street than for married women, for the former may follow the dictates of affection, while the latter - must livo with their husbands no matter (ipw much they might detest them. Spies' contempt for the law is great, but it is not greater than the apparent contempt for the woman who did want to be his wife, rity and rights as are enjoyed by the whites, Ages of paganism and superstition have warped thein to such an extent that it might not now lie safe to give them what it may be difficult to take awny if they should lapse into bad habits through the influences wliich are constantly at work tending in that direction. Mr. J. Liest, warehouseman for Lautz Bros., Buffalo, N. Y„ says be had a swelling on bis foot which he attributed to oliilbians. He used Dr. Thomas' Kclectric OU, and is troubled uo louger. Dr. Thomas' Eclectrie Oil may bo imitated in ita appearance and name, but not in ita virtues. IEEDS TESTED RELIABEL, 0ATAL0OUE8 FREE THE F|NEST i Mailed ' '"-1- inOanaoa I Send for it.

FRESH WATER TERMINUS *^THAT«®«r Speaking of thn northwest coast lndisut tond question yesterday we should have mentioned that tliiae civilized and Christianised Indians also object to the system adopted elsewhere of sending an agent to administer their affairs. Having put away paganism nnd accepted the f!hris]tu»u doctrine and ciyiliza- tion^-and hitting acquired a fair education nnd IchoWlcdge of civilized government and usages, they believe themselves able to look after their own affairs. If they are placed under an "agent," they say, they will be forced into a species of bondage, because thero1 is i scarcely anything they can do without first obtaining the agent's consent. Regarding themselves as men and Christians, they resent such surveillance, just as a white man would resent being under the surveillance of a policeman. They wish, to have their reserves allotted and to make their own local and domestic ar- rangemerUs without any outside in terference whatever. In favor of this contention it may be said thnt the Christianised Indians of the northwest coast.have shown them- selveji.to be peaceable and capable of carrying on successfully a simple ichem* of municipal government, and wc bqUsva their communities art hlljr tt' orderly and well regu- lated as many communities of white ptapW who would not tolerate offi- oiai'Interference suoh ss would ob- taielAf»d»r an Indian, agency. It may £«SM*1)onsd, however, whether in tm iteration even the educated OlarMian Indiana should have placed In their hands the same civil aulho. WANT.

GENTLEMEN!— Shortly after the lamented doathof our Intc Representative, Mr. Homer, I was Solicited by a number of my friends, to allow myself to be nom- iimteil ns ii Candidate fortho Representation of (he District of New Westminster in tiie House of Commons of Canada, .Tlie fiorsoinil solicitation of friends, was short* y followed by requisitions so numerously signed, by prominent aud lnlluetiini Electors of the City und District, thnt I fell it to be niy duty to place my services nt their disposal. It is not therefore, Gentlemen, nsu self-nominated candidate, that I usk for your support, but 1 do so In response to thc request of over four hundred of your number. To many of you, Gentlemen, who hnve known mo for a long time, lt is unnecessary for mo to say, that I am perfectly familiar with the great and varied resources of this Province. My knowledge of Its Mining, Fishing, Agricultural and Commercial Advantage? has been derived from actual experience, and will (if elected) enable me to place prominently .before Parliament, the great resources of this Province, nnd tho menus necessary to be employed to aid in then- further development. It Is Impossible, Gentlemen, in an address such as this to do moro than allude to some of tlie questions of Interest and importance to you, which ns your representative, I would consider it to be my duty to bring to the notice of Parliament. I will, however, enumerate a fow matters of great importance to us nil, in regard to which it will be my earn est endeavour to obtain beneficial legislation. I will endeavour to have removed from the mouth of om* noble Itlver, every impediment to Its freo navigation, nnd have necessary lighthouses erected. . I will endeavor to secure to settlers and squatters an Immediate title to thoir lunds. This I consider to he a matter not only of justice, but nlso of expediency. Heretofore great Injustice has been done ton valuable and deserving class of our population, to whom, had Justiee been done and facilities afforded for acquiring homesteads, the results of their Industry would, ere this, havo done much to develop the agricultural capabilities of this fine distriot, 1 nm aware, Gentlemen, thnt the num* bei of representatives to which each province of the Dominion ls entitled Is b '.sod upon population, yet I believe that, o ing to exceptional circumstances, sueli as tho fact that Ihis provinco contributes to the revenue of the Dominion n much larger percentage, according to population, than any of the other provinces; nnd also to tlio fact tliat largo centres of population are rapidly being formed in this district-- thnt It is entitled to a larger representation lu the parliament, of tho Dominion, and wliich as a matter of justice I will endeavor to obtain. . I will also endeavour to obtain for the residents of this District botter postal facilities, to which they arc justly entitled. . I will uso my best ofloris to secure equitable rates on all railway and telegraph lines, and lo have the same fixed by law. •The Interests of llrltlsh Columbia demand thnt overy Impediment lu tho wny of constructing railways to our Southern boundary and other portions of this district be removed to aid In tho development of our resources. I will endeavor to have this-accomplished, nml also to obtain aid for t he e'lnptructlon of canals and the Improvement of navigable streams. I will also consider It my duty to render nll possible aid to any legislation whioh seeks to simplify and render less costly the administration of justice, especially as between individuals aiid corporations. .My [political platform is, lu the first place, the lnteresl of British Columblu, which I believo can be best served by my giving an Independent support to the present government, which has not In the past hron unmindful of the Interests of llrltlsh Columbia, aud to whom we uro Indebted fur tlie early completion of tbe railway, which has brought us into ('r.iiiiiiiinl.-iitloii with the Eastern Provinces and Europe, and through the agency of wliich, wc will In the near future, he placed lu direct communication with Australia,China,Japan, and the Great Eastern Empire, which must provo to be of Incalculable value to this province, und to this district lu particular. In conclusion, gentlemen, ] have only to say. that I nm prompted hy a sincere desire to benefit this district nud to nld In promoting Its varied lnteresl a, and I ask i'our support only upon these grounds, tis my Intentlon'lo sec ns ihtiny of you prqvjqfii4ti the election as I tine and circa instances will admit of in the meantime. I remain. Gentlemen, Yours very truly; dwfeStd DONALD CHISHOLM.

Tha projeoted line of the latter company, starling from Kirltrield or Lindsay and Colbrooke branch and ruining aa direct aa possible to the Sault) a distance of 380 miles, has stirred up tlu Canadian Pacific to ex-' tond its Algoma branch to the same point. Tke Grand Trunk hu located ita Hue and bought moat ot the right uf way, but while construction waa nnder contemplation, the Canadian Paoific ha. already commenced it. The Grand Trunk people claim that Iheir great rival i. following the identical route aa laid out by the Grand Trnnk engineer., and hare consequently applied for mi injunction to compel them to desist, Bailey, 0. E., of Toronto, waa here'yeaterday and interviewed Ihe railway department on the matter. Toronto, Feb. 1.— The famous . ooal con.pir.cy case attains!

Detroit, Feb. 1.—In Windsor, Out, more than half of lhe telephone subscribers have notified the company that unless they have connection without extra charge with Detroit the telephone tnu.t be removed. This is .aid to be but the atart of a general movement throughout Canada looking toward a lowering of the telephone rate. Ottawa, Feb. 2.- Th. directorate of the Pontiao and Pacific railway have under consideration a scheme to ehange the route of the line which will necessitate ita extension to Sault Ste. Marie, there forming a connection with the Northern Pacifio. A cable to the Mail .aye that much re- fret ia manifested among Canadians in Ingland over the resignation of Sir Charles Tupper and confidence i. ex- press.il in tie zumored appointment of Sir Alexander Campbell. Eight Canadian, who received their military training at Kingtton will join their regiment, in India next month, having put in one year of apecial inatruction, whioh ia a high compliment to the Canadian sy.tem, cad.ta being required to take two years apecial instruction.. Ottawa, Feb. 2.—The imperial government ha. isaued an order stating that .when officer, of tho imperial force. ;iN atrving the coloniea they mu.t look to the latter for all pay. The emoluments of ollicer. now employed in colonial teniae will be cancelled. Thia, it is claimed, will have the effect of discouraging Engliah officers from entering tho service •( the colonies, for the reason that they can aecure better remuneration at home. A company with a capital of (5,000,- 000 haa been organized to undertake the construction of a submarine tunnel between Paince Edward Island and New Brunswick, provided tho ?;overnment will guarantee 4 per cent, nterett on the expenditure.

Stanley will leave here on Thursday next with a force of 1,200, including eighty negroes, on hi. expedition for the rescue of Emm Bey. Stanley doe. not expect to meet with any formidable opposition on hi. maroh, but on the contrary believes he will receive valuable assistance from many of tho negro tribes, enabling him to successfully carry out hi. scheme of relief. The government intends raising the blockade of the Soudan and reopening the potr Jeum well, of Egypt. Roue, Feb. 2.—Premier De Pretis inform, the Italian chamber of deputies to-day that there haa recently been severe fighting in that part of the Soudan whose occupation was boing attempted by Italy in an under- atanding with England. He taid thi. fightinv had resulted in almost complete disaster to the Italian forces engaged in conjunction with tho Ahys- ainnian troop, iir the work of attempting to release Kassala, whicli has been besieged by hostile Arahs ever sinco lhe beginning « Hi»on|v riagos and tho importance of the line. Sho also enters briefly into the political history of tho undertaking, showing how politician, quarreled over it, how speculators ahook their heads, how engineers doubted the feasibility of the scheme, nnd how the railway authorities opposed the enterprise. It broke one government, embarrassed another, set everybody by the oars, and bade fair to become a chronic quarrel between the rival parties, when happily the difficulty was faced and tlio hno wob brought to a a successful finish. Tho journey of tlie authoress reads like a novel. It is written with admirable tasto and in a gossipy Btylo that is exceedingly inter- eating. Lady Macdonald refers to her husband aa a chief who i. alwaya engaged in adding to hii store of knowledge about the country nnd its necessities and the requirements of the people. Tho meeting with the Blackfeot la liko a pago from a romance. The welcome that Sir John Macdonald received was most gratifying, showing the loyalty of the Dominion's dusky nnd distant subjects. Tho authoress gives many intereating incident, of her journey, especially of that part where she proceeded from Laggnu for 000 miles on tlio cow-catcher of the engine. At this point the story ends for the present, but sufficient hus been published to awaken interest here in the great and successful enterprise. The Oold Frontier In Africa. At Barbcrton, in the so-called De Kaap gold-fields, in the South African Republic, things nre booming. The South African fields are now the gold frontier of the world. The scenes familial' to so many of our readers from personal experience on our own Pacifio Coast or in Australia, and familiar to everybody from the literature of the Californian nnd Australian epochs, nro now being re-enacted in South Afriea. Thither the adventurous spirits of every nationality are Hooking, oa they went to the Golden Gate in '40 and to the Bathurst district in Now South Wales a couple of years later. The same struggle of enterprise, pluck, physical endurance and mental astuteness to gain and possess tlie yellow prize is going on in the new gold-fields away beyond Kimberley and Pretoria—almost in the region of Mr. Haggard's fabled Minos of King Soloman. It ia especially interesting to compare the conditions of tho gold battle in South Africa with those whioh already seem to bolong to the ancient history, While overy race and every nationality is represented in the affairs of De Kaap Gold-field, tho prevailing influences are Dutch and English. The local government consists of a Delvers' Comito, or Diggers' Committee, subordinate to the Volksroad, or Congress of the Republic. The local office-holders are known by Dutch titles, and the government notices are fiublished both in Dutch and in Eng- ish. But while the legislative and administrative framework is Dutch, tho English seem to be in a majority. In an election for members of the Diggers' Committeo held on the 27th of hut October, returns from Barber- ton, Moodie's, Victoria Reef, Fair View, Eureka City, Figtree Creek and Sheepskin, precincts which iu our West Would be called mining camps, show the election of about three Eng lishinen to one Dutchman.—N. f, Still. * ■ The Growth or London. It has been truly said that London, England, is "first among the marvels of modern civilization in the nineteenth century," and that "no other oity can rival or even approach it in wealth, size and population." So vast has it become that the British parliament haa found it most difficult to legislate for ita proper government, and haa for years been struggling in vain to accomplish that object. Lord Rosebery, too, hae on several occasions called at tehtion to the great social dangers which lurk in suoh an overwhelming concentration of tho great mass of the people. Loudon, indeed, resembles the Loadstone Mountain in the Oriental tale, attracting all to it, nnd so has vastly overgrown. For successive fenerations, but more especially in tho laat fifty years, it hns been exercising nn ever-increasing power of attraction on the entire population of tlie islands. We need hardly aay that the construction of tho railways gave the contripo- tal movement an immense impulse; nor need we add that the natural and inevitable results have been largely to modify the national character. In 1836 the population was something like one million nine hundred thousand; in lrlHIi tho imputation, so far as nny census can now be taken, must exceed four millions. As for the expansion of acreage, it is difficult to estimate it, nnd for similar and very sufficient reasons. ' No man can possibly sny where London begins or where it ends. Cities spring up without the city, aa in the case of West Ham, which has been shooting with tho vigor of a fungus growth among the sugar bakeries in the Essex marshes. Sudden growths of the kind are as much n matter of course aa the accidental annexation of a kingdom like Burmah, or the casual appropriation of some unsurveyed wilderness in South Africa. The Mobile aaloon-keepera have petitioned the legislature to pas. a 81,000 license law, to ward off the enactment of n prohibitory law.
