Marrh S, iss*>. State Education. High School 1 High School! Hi-h School 1 The 322 pages of tlie Pub- lie Schools Report fairly reek with praise, of the Victoria High School. The Superintendent of Education for the whole jProviuce has found time to pay it twenty-four visits during the year, while he has not once darkened the door of a large percentage of the Mainland schools during the five years he has been in office! It is pampered, aud the other schools in the city are turned into force-pumps, hot-houses fulfilling its favored class-rooms, while education in the interior is l«ft to take care of itself. Now, all this is, we respectfu ly submit, radically wrong. Our system of free state education is costing close upon fifty thousand dollars a year. Where dots that money come from? Tin1 pockets of the people — tbo whole people, from Cussiar to Kootenay and from Sooke to IWkerville. Every man con tributes tiis quota. Under the present unetpittl system of taxation, tho funnel* is made t< contribute more than his full quota. That being so, it is an injustice to bolster up, at great expense to the whole body of the people, a favorite school in a favored locality tint) starve education in the interior, Wt would not be misunderstood. Could the state afford and did circtim stances justify, we -mould rejoice to see a free high school in every district and a university in every town. But that the state cannot adurd it those ten petitions, those ten tin answered prayers from settlements destitute of common schools, pro claim with trumpet toijgiio. How can the Government possibly justify itself in giving tho luxury of a high school to the wealthiest community in the province, while important ■settlements are left iu absolute edit cationul destitution 1 By what principle of justice do they leave the struggling settler without a common school, and with taxes screwed out of his hard earnings, «iv? a free high school education to the children of the rich at Victoria 1 It is anion strous injustice! This is the phase of the report to which we take ex J ception. This centralization and luxury in a community where stale aid is least needed, and this neglect and educational starvation, where state aid is most needed, is what wo object to. In thu present circum ittuicei, we contend that the duty of tlie state ends with a good common school education. As the ability of the state increases, let the standard of the common schools be raised, tit.* til they cover the high school ground ; but whatever the standard is, education, free state education, to be [j just, must be available to all—must be as broad as tho basis of taxation on which it rests. The prayer for •schools lias gone up from ten destitute settlements, and tins remained "in abeyance," unanswered, for yean, because the Government cannot spare the money; and yet that same Government can, year after year, lavUb expenditure, the very money taken from the pockets of these supplicating settlers, upon edn- jj cationa), luxuries at the capital. One's ideas of justice and fair-play utterly revolt at auch a condition of affairs. If.-in this matter, there is [No he any favoritism, it should bo '•extended to the struggling settlers ho stand most in need of help— -jertaiuly not to the wealthy communities who are well able to help .Iiemsvlves. — Moral: The High lohoolat Victoria should he solf Supporting—made to stand on its iwri bottom—-like the High Sohool n this city, and tho .thousands tlmt re annually squandered upon it liould he employed in extending Ijotntnon school education in the jVv destitute settlements, Columbian. VOLUME 21 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1882. NUMBER 19 1. — Dead Mlllionmrcs. An American exchange, the San Francisco Bulletin, gives a list of the distinguished capitalist!' claimed by Doath during the past few years. Tho number given is a score.', Commodore Vanderbilt heads the list with seventy- five millions, aud the twenty aggregate $250,000,000. Tho same paper says:— Lust livening Rev. E. R Dillo, pastor of Central M. K, Church, delivered a discourse en tlie subject of "A Fool's Soliloquy Interrupted." The senium related to the acquisition of wealth and the reiionsibility of those who acquired it.i Ho said the farmer, in his daily ocojipatioii, gets nearer to God than any jot her class of men, for he looks diwaA-y. to 4irovi- dence for the reward of hit* labors! He doos not get rich by usury, by ranting houses for saloons and other immoral purposes, or by defrauding his neighbors. It is no sin to get rich if riches are amassed honestly and properly used. Men exhaust their ingenuity to find a new way to spend their money. If they would only look around, they could sea empty flour barrets and empty coal bins which they could till. A man who lives for himself alone had better worship an idol in a Joss House. Money belongs to God alone, and it is put in In tiie hands of men as a sacred trust for the saki of humanity. The fortunate should care for the unfortunate, thine that can sue fm* the blind, the wall for the sick, the rich for tiie poor, Those who have a surplus should divide with the deserving needy. If (Jed has grunted privileges ami blessings tu any of us, whether spiritual ot! temporal, they were only given us that we might divide them. God never intended that the rich man should live in a pidaeu and th« poor man in a hovel, He never intended that a m:m should hoard ^To,- 000,000, and it is a prims fur a man to possess that amount! It is a crime for a man to board 81,000,000 in a eity like this, whore tlterC is'S'inViich pnverly and misery and wofl. The wealthy owe a debt to the poor, the saint to the sinner and the happy to the miserable. A good man should act as though ho were Ilia steward, not tho proprietor of thu fortune he imaaessos, and unless lie does so act, God will not trust him with the higher riches of Heaven. A. 0._U. W.

Tlie Dry Dock, The profound importance of its nature and tlie universality of its concfirnment ought to lift the question far above all mere party strife. In its more infantile stages tho dock was a political hobby-horse on which Ministers were wont to ride; but they have toyed with it until now it lias attained such elephantine pro- Jiortioiis that they stand blanched and trembling before tlio result of their own incantations. Like Plm- roah's lean kino, it threatens to eat up poor Columbia, Ministers and all! In a former article the history of the dock was sufficiently sketched. A few remarks about its present position may not be misplaced,although tlie circumstance of tlie matter being mtb jitdice must prevent any direct attempt to indicate where the blame rests. There can be no delicacy, no hesitation about saying where the responsibility rests. According to th« well-understood principles of Responsible Govern ment, Ministers are alone reponsible to tlie people, and cannot, by any process known to the constitution, shift that responsibility on to the shoulders of a subordinate, qr even share it. It was seen !in a former article how the Legislature was induced, by Mr. William's solemn pledge tliat the work should not tako a single dollar out of the provincial treasury, to adopt the scheme which promised to build the dock upon the Canadian and Imperial contributions. When, at a later period, he asked the Legislature to pass an act respecting the construction of tho dock upon the basis upon which it stands to-day, Mr. Walkom made another promise or statement in order to induce members, especially Mainland members, to vote for his measure. It will bo proper to remind the reader here that the former promise had been broken, and that, in negotiating terms with the Dominion Government, Mr. Walkem, or lii« fitting agent, Mr. DeCosmos, had absolutely agreed that ull the cement required for the dock and all tlie plant and material provided and work done up to 1880 should be paid for out of the provincial treasury—which plant and material and work represented a sum considerably over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, if wc aro not much mistaken. This is how Mr. Walk- em's lolemn pledge was kept. But, having involved the province so far, and having arranged for the completion of tlio work without any further expense to tho province, save and except the price of any trifle more cement that might be required, Mr. Walkem made an authoritative official statement to tho House to the effect that one hundred tons more cement would be the very most tliat would, under any circumstances, be required to complete the work. Members hesitated, remembering how outrageously they had been misled on a former occasion; but a few cracks of the ministerial whip brought reluctant Mainland members to time. They reasoned with themsolves, "Well, we suppose it will be necessary to spend thirty-five thousand dollars more, in order that the hundred and fifty thousand already spent may not be absolutely lost"—-and so they voted for the bill which now governs the work. It is now known how frightfully they were misled by Mr. Walkem's second assurance. On Monday, the 27th ult,, in order to avoid tho odium of having the startling fact dragged to light by the committee of investigation wliich had just been formed, Mr. Walkem rose in his place in the House—the identical spot on which he stood on the first occasion, when pledging tlie Government that the dock should never take a single dollar from the provincial treasury, the tame spot on which he stood upon the second occasion, when solemnly assuring the House that the very most it would be called upon to provide for would be one hundred 'tons more cement —and dumfoundered the members on both sides by announcing tltat a still fur- ther supply of four thousand four hundred tons of cement must be provided! ^ow, when in April, 1880, Mr. Walkem assured tho House that one hundred tons of cement would be the maximum, he must either have made the statement knowing it to be false, for the purpose of misleading members into voting for Ins bill, or he made it without taking the trouble to ascertain the truth. The responsible Minister has thought proper to adopt the unusual, unconstitutional, and, ns many think, unmanly course of throwing the blame npon an irresponsible subordinate. "It wasn't me; it was Bennett," whines tbe Chief Commissioner. Adam, when confronted with his wrongdoing, tried the same cowardly dodge; but it wouldn't stick. He, being the responsible, representative head, had to bear the consequences of the act. Bennett might have told Walkem tlmt one hundred tons of cement would suffice for work requiring nearly 'fifty times that quantity; but it is difficult to believe such a thing possible. Bennett is not the only engineer which the Chief Commissioner had at command. The first officer in his Department is an engineer. But it scarcely required engineering skill to figure out the cement required, where all the quantities are given. Any clerk in the Department could have done that. We are told that the Minister hopes to get out of the scrape by making a scape-goat of his subordinate. But he cannot do that, Even if he did succeed in inducing a majority of the House to let him off on such a plea, it could only postpone for a little inevitable doom, while those members who did so would dig tlieir own political graves. So much for the Minister. What of his work ? Shall the ill consequences of his criminal blundering die with him? Unfortunately, they will survive him. According to the bargain which the Legislature was fraudulently induced to make, the Dominion Government will have the right to step in and complete the dock, paying for the same out of the subsidies coming to the province. Thus in all probability will the whole federal subsidies be absorbed for several years to come, leaving Columbia with less than half its present revenue, rendering a resort to greatly increased taxation absolutely unavoidable iu order simply to carry on the government of the country, leaving everything in the nature of public works out of the question. Verily, the Walkem administration has brought things to a terrible pass. Luckily a day of reckoning is at hand, and those who have, by tlieir servile support, helped the Government to drag the country to tho verge of bankruptcy will be called to a strict account. This is no Mainland or Island question. It is a provincial ono, An Island member can no more justify himself to his constituents for helping to retain such a Ministry in power than can a Mainland member. frontage free of charge for a term of years. Mr. Law thinks that the corporation would be doing no more than its duty in extending that amount of encouragement and assistance iu his struggles to build up an industry as beneficial to tha community as to himself, and we are of tha same opinion. It will be some years, even under tho most favorable circumstances, before the water-front will be required for ordinary purposes as far up ns the foundry, and whon tlio regular traffic shall have reached that point, it will bo time enough to look to the water lot in question as a source of revenue. Meanwhile the Corporation would be sacrificing nothing by conceding to Mr. Law the free use of it. On the contrary, they would be aiding a most deserving man in creating au important industry, and retaining a branch of that industry which is at present forced to go elsewhere. We believe, all things considered, the Council would not be justified in refusing Mr. Law's very reasonable request. MR. JUDKIN HAS ARRIVED with his Floating Gallery nt New Westminster, where he will remain a short time, and all those who want a gootl picture now is your time to get it.

A great fishery exposition is tu bo held in England next year. H. R. H. the Prince of Wales has, it seems, boen publicly expressing the hope that the American Government may largely avail itself of the opportunity tu exhibit the fish of that country, We wonder whether His Royal Highness is aware of the fact that the Dominion of Canada has a bigger fish farm than the United States. Canada should take care that sho shall let the Prince of Wales and all England, all the world, know it. In canned salmon Columbia can do her part. Already her canned salmon stand so high that her big neighbor is counterfeiting them. But there should be timely preparation and thorough organization. It should be understood without delay what tho Dominion Government proposes doing towards having the country represented; and if tho Federal Government is not prepared to take hold of the movement as it ought to be handled, then should the Provincial Government step forward and, in conjunction with the cannery firms, adopt such measures as shall insure British Columbia being properly represented. There is no time to be lost. Some one ought to move in the House.

Our local contemporary ia wondering why the Columbian doesn't praise Mr, Homer more. The thing ia simple enough, Mr. Homer's popularity rests upon a more substantial basis than newspaper praise.

Gentlemen— I have much pleasure in acceding to your request conveyed to me in your requisition, that I would allow myself to be nominated as a Candidate, at the ensuing election of a Representative to fill the seat now vacant in tha House of Commons, If I should bt elected to fill this honorable position, I will give my support to the present Government, and in doing so, will trust that mv future course of action may meet with the approval of my constituents, as it did on former occasions when I had the honor of representing you in the Legislative Council of this Colony. If elected, I will advocate the early completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. I will urge upon the Government the necessity of placing the Dominion Lands, now'held in reserve, in a position so they may be made available for immediate settlement. I will endeavor to show the Government the benefit which would be derived from the extension of the Ocean Mail Service to the Mainland, and to obtaining greater mail facilities throughout the Province. As British Columbia has not been admitted to the benefits of the Washington Treaty, \ will urge upon the Government the justice of allowing an abatement of Customs duties upon all material required for the Fisheries, and will ask for an appropriation for the establishing of Hatcheries. The Agricultural, Manufacturing, and Mining interests will receive my' most careful attention, and if the formation of a Commercial Federation of Great Britain and her Colonies, for their mutual benefit, should come under consideration, it will receive mv earnest support. 'Owing to the transitory state of the Dominion, many new questions will undoubtedly arise; in dealing with these, I will see that the interests of my constituents arc protected, I am, Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, Ja2S J. A. R. HOMER. in*- Stoni. KITH AND KIN. (Continued.) "I call that life] that sort of thing, for thos* who tako part in it," ho said within hiinself, "Gob afternoon of that would b« worth a hundred years of soiling gray shirtings and towel- ings, and being bndgt-rud if your sale don't come up to tho mark you are expected to reach. It's a life for a galley-slave, by gad! and nothing better. I wish I saw my way out of it, "Aglionby this!' 'Aglionby that!' ". His face darkened. "And then old Jenkinaon, who's rolling in money, can go canting to people about its being a misfortune for any young man to have anything to depend upon but his own exertions! Hum! Ha! I wish he'd just let one of his own snu« exchange with me, and .sue where his own exertions lauded him. 1 should like to cut the whole concern, aim go oti' to Canada, or New Zealand; only I like Irkford, and I like tho life there is here. I like tho politics, and tiie itir and throb of a big city like this. And then Liz—poor little Liz.'—sho would scream at the very notion of such a thing." A smile dawned in Aglionby's face and eyes, wliich for a few moments had been pre ternat urn liy grave, and even severe. This smile wns umpies- tionably a tender one; it transfigured his face, and made it look like that of another being, gave n softness and a graciousness to tho hard, sharp outlines, and melted away the cynical little lines about, the mouth. He looked up, rousing himself from his abstraction, with a vague consciousness that he must be near home, ami found himself within a few paces of tho house. He strode up the little walk, and opened the door with a latchkey. Apparently its rattle in the lock had been heard, fur us he was pulling it out, and standing just within the narrow little passage, nbout to close the door, some one came tripping out of a back parlor and said: "How late you are!" "I'm sorry, my child! Couldn't afford so many 'bus fares in one day, ■o I had to walk," he replied, putting the latch-key into his pocket with one hand, nnd with the other possessing himself of her slim fingers; then his arm by some menus slipped around her waist, nnd thus pinioned, hu led hor into the dark, little back parlor whence she had emerged. "Come, let me go, sir! You nnd I are going to have our teas all alone, and that's moro luck than you deserve. And then off we go! (Hi, I'm dying to bo off, and we nhnll yet no places if we're not, in lots of time." "Well, stop—you can spare time for me to have one look ut you. Lot's see how your new finery suits you." He hold her off at arm's length, and gazed at her with his keen eyes softening visibly. Handsome though his awn features were, his hard and cynical expression made his face almost a plain and decidedly a sombre one. Surely she compensated for his want of attractiveness; for she wns an exquisitely pretty creature. Tall, lithe, and svelte, her form wns enchanting, while the long, slender, white throat supported a lovely little head. She was fair, with a delicate complexion, untouched by the smoke nnd closeness of the town. She had one of those faces, child's and woman's nt once, which appeal irresistibly to all male hearts, and to most feminiuo ones. Soft blue eyes; a lovely mouth, pensive, yet pouting, and a dreamy smile; abundance of pale hair, which, however, just failed to havo tho true corn- colored tinge which makes the difference between flax and gold—nil these charms she possessed, together with that other charm usually wielded by women at nineteen years of ngo. So much for the first view; the real undeniable advantages—and they were all that Aglionby had ever seen. From the hour in which he had been betrothed to her, ho had been firmly convinced that she embodied his ideal of womanhood. Perhaps a feminine eye would havo been required to perceive, a feminine linger to point out, certain other characteristics, which, however, she might read who ran. Miss Lizzie Vnne wore a dress which faithfully followed every worst point of the prevailing fashion j ami exaggerated all of them a little, by way of originality. Hev gown was tho gown of the present day. It fitted hor almost half the length from her throat to her heels, like a skin; it was wt-ll tied back just behind the knees, and en the ground behind an abundance of perfectly moaninglois little frills, arranged upon a spoon- or wedge-shaped piece of stuff, waggled and whisked about with her every movement, This was the "train" of Miss Vane's dress: for a young lady moving in her exalted sphere, and living too in one of tho palatial family mansions of Crane Street, could hardly he expected to dispense with so useful, so necessary an appendage. Hor waist was—let in say, very slim indeed; her bust and hips forced into a prominence displeasing in itself, aud out of nil proportion with the lost of her figure. Her plentiful hair was gathered behind' into as small and shabby a round knob as it could by any means be screwed into: iu front a great wisp of it was pulled forward, relentlessly cut lhort, and then curled, frizzed, piled and towered both on the front of her head, and over her pretty white forehead. Certainly a pair of liquid blue eyes look at you with a vory bewitching glance from out a forest of such little ringlets; and 10 Aglionby tliought. So much for Miss Vane's appearance while in repose. The exigencies of her sub-skirt arrangements, the position of what she called liar*'kicking* straps" necessitated a side-long, crnh- like movement, which, if gracefully managed, is amusing for a short time ns a novelty, but ho who would cull it soothing of agreeable as a permanent form of locomotion in one who is to be a companion for life, must be a man who is vory much in lovo indeed, It was upon this sinuous-looking form that Aglionby gazed with admiring eyes. Then his glance left her form nnd fell upon her face. That at least waa lovely, since it had no waist, to be compressed into an attenuation suggestive of the most painful results in case of tiny unlookod-for accident. No frizzing nnd no torturing of hair could make it otherwise. Ill-temper now, old ngo in hor future, could alone have power to make Lizzie Vane's face an ugly one, nnd- -to toll the whole truth—no power, in the heavens above, or in tho earth beneath, would ever make the said face a noble one, or put a spark of intellectual Bro into the sweet blue eyes. "Do come and get your tea!" she implored him; wriggling impatiently. "Ma has gone out. I've been waiting for you for such a time, I should have died of dullness, if Mr. Golding hadn't looked in, and cheered my solitude." She laughed n little affectedly. "Percy came, did he? Ah! your society would suit hiin much better than the home-truths we've been hearing this afternoon. Thero was too much of the .sledge-hammer about our proceedings to suit friend Percy," he said, smiling sardonically, as he seated himself; nnd Miss Vane, bending iu nn elegantly serpentine attitude, stood before the tray, and poured out the tea. "Why don't you sifc down, too?' ho asked. "I thought you were going to get tea with mo." "So I am, but I-shallstand. Ican't sit down, I'm so impatient, nnd I must lie off to get toudy," replied Lizzie, conscious of a trcacTierous tension about the knees, wliich she know hy experience meant a crack, nnd a sudden unseemly expansion of garment, in the event of sitting down, or of assuming nny other than an upright posture. "How dtiyoit like my dress? You don't even seem to see it," she said, bending into a graceful curve, and looking affectionately over her shoulder nt the spoon-shaped train before alluded to. ' "It's—well, I don't understand such thinks. I suppose it's very pretty, but I don't think it suits you quite so well as some you've had. If looks a little tight, ns if there hadn't been quite enough stuff, doesn't it?" "There's a compliment!" cried she, with more heat than the occasion seemed to demand. ''P.iityou're no judge. Mr. Golding said he had never seen anything in more perfect taste." "Well, Percy's more of n judge than I nm, nnd then he has sisters," said Bernard, with ready acquiescence; "so, I suppose, it must be right. And," he added, ill a most perfect innocence and good faith, "I suppose thoy know what's what ill a big shop like Land it Robinson's, ehf" "Yes," said Lizzie, eagerly, and all smiles; "why? did you see anything like it in tlieir windows?" "X—no. At least I didn't observe anything; but when I went tu buy that ribbon for you last week, the girl who served me had on a dress exactly like this of ynurs--only black, you know. She reminded me of you, somehow." He smiled, thinking he had paid au unexceptionable compliment. Indeed, n year ngo the idea of his going into a draper's shop to buy ribbons for a girl would have been scouted by him ns being out of the range of possibility. Hut flimsy creatures have, ere this, wielded considerable power over other creatures which were anything but flimsy. Lizzio Vane's influence had tamed him, not only to the buying of ribbons, but to a feeling of anxiety to understand and sympathise witli her in her own particular province—that of dress and millinery. To his surprise and discomfiture, his last well-meant effort produced only an angry pout. "Really your ideas are ao odd, Bernard. To think of comparing me wi h a shop-girl!" she expostulated. It was Bernard's turn to look surprised; "1 didn't coniparo you with a shop-girl," he said, "and if I had— I don't know much about such things —but that girl I speak of was infinitely superior to some of her customers. Why not n shop-girl,Lizzie?"hendded reflectively. "Suppose you had been obliged to go out, as they call it, to earn your living. I'd rather be a saleswoman in one of those big shops full of pretty things, than a nursery governess, with n lot of impudent, squalling brats to tyrannize fiver" me." "I've never considered the subject, not having felt the necessity for it," reiored Miss Vane, loftily. Bernard smiled slightly. If anybody but Lizzie had been talking, scathing would have been the comments upon pampered ignorance and upstart vanity. As it was, he let tlie observation pass, and, spreading a slice uf bread and butter, attacked another topic —ono whieh he Iind tried before with scant success. He spoke out of the fullness of liis heart, not heenuse he hoped that Lizzie would feel interested iu the subject. "We had n meeting this afternoon, Liz! I don't believe there over was such a meeting!" "Oh, I know nothing about such meetings," she replied, with temper. "No; I'm glad of it, lily child." This was liis usual reply to such announcements on the part of his betrothed. He made it, not because it was what he really felt, but rather what he thought he aught tu feel under the circumstances. Perhaps he cherished a hope that frctpient repetition uf tha words would produce the desired sensitiou "There were lots of ladies there, though," ho added, and the face uf the young woman who had sat near him was vaguely present in his mind ns he spoke. "I expect they were frights," alio said, not yet appeased. "Not a bit of it. There wero some very fine Indies indeed there, I can tell you. A very line-looking young woman sat close to me." "How was she dressed ?" askod Miss Vane. •'Oh, how do I know. Iu blaek, I think." "Had sho a hat or a bonnet on ?" "I don't know. She'd something that shaded her eves—a low, round thing." "A round hat wifh abriml. At a large meeting! Impossible! No one would wear such a thing." "Now you give it a name—it wns n lint with a brim," he rejoined. "White straw it was, with a white feather laid round it, somehow, flat-look ing. Aud a little silk shawl, quite loose round her.shoulders." (To be Continued.)
