An exchange says; Henry* Scooter, a St. Louis lad, . who was kidnapped three years ago, was restored to hts parents thia Week, having been found (through the aid of a newspaper picture of hiin) on a farm near Cairo, III. After being abducted, so the boy states, he was bound out to a brickmaker in an out- of-tho-way spot, reached after a fast ride of threo days. He afterward ran away nnd engaged with a farmer, who saw the cut in a St. Louis paper, and thinking it resembled his little employe, looked'into the matter, The other day, Mr. Ilarrison,, presidentelect of the United States, went to a friend's farm to look at a pair of horses he thought of purchasing. One of the big American papers makes nearly a column of this, giving minute detuils of the trip—of tne time tho party spent at lunch, and so forth, and capping the climax of its absurdity by gravely assuringits readers that the members of the party were "dumb as oysters" when questioned as to whether Mr. Harrison, bad closed the bargain or not I Brother Jonathan had better kill off a few of his own fools before he sneers any more at John Bull1 worship of "big wigs."

At d meeting the other evening in Now York tho professor, on learning -that two gontlemen were willing to start the aubscription list with a thousand dollars oach, regretted that the Unt donation was not to bo twenty, thousand. The rage for digging up ancient remains: fa the east has hardly reached that stage of intensity in the classic city of New York. Thore has been much talk, says an exchange, of the infamies alleged to be commonly practised in "dens" in the Wisconsin woods. Girls aro said to be retained against their will in these places, maintained for rough and vicious men whose employment takes them away from towns into the forest regions of the state. There have been heartrending stories of helpless girls trying to offbet an escape and being traced by blood hounds and brought back. Denials and reiterations of these atrocities have followed quick upon each other during the past year, and now the Wisconsin legislature has done the best thing it could have done in the matter. It lias ordered an investigation whioh will settle definitely the truth or falsity of the. charges.

And it was tho folly of compromising with them, promising them immunity, which enabled them to gather power sufficient to defy tho governments of tho various states and finally overthrow and destroy them.- It ia "respectable" criminals who most deserve punishment, and whoso punishment is most valuable to a community.

Children Crj-for Pitch..'.Cutoria mjhoiph sDicwtn: , ' *, Vienni, Feb. 1.—Conflicting ru* mors regarding the oau.e of the Crown Prince Uudclph's death are set at rest to-day by an official ststemont iu the Witner Zeituny that the prince committed suioide with a revolver. The physicians appointed to enquire into the cause of death discovered a large wound in his head which had caused instant death, X-U BO--,-, sou-Da. Viskha, fob. 1.—The Wiener Zti- tung states this morning: an. autopsy was performed last night on the remains of the Grown Prince Rudolph by Dr. Wiederhofer. A wound was found in the side of the head sufficient to have killed the prince. The revolver with one ohamber discharged was found lying on the bed near the dead man's right hand. It is therefore concluded that Rudolph suicided. The bones of the skull wero shattered as though by a bullet, no one, however, heard the report cf the revolver, asj , everyone belonging to the castle were! outside, preparing for* shooting excursion. It is now stated by those about the prince that recently he has been morbid snd nervousand therefore the statement is made by the Vienna Press that the prince was undoutedly temporarily deranged. The prince had' for some time previous to his death heen suffering enormous headache, attributed to an injury to the head received recently in falling from a horse. The Boudyester correspondence say. Rudolph bad thrice given1 orders to his attache, Herr Von Szo- gyenyi, to arrange his private papers as if preparatory to death. IMPOIlTASr CHANGES. Dobuk, Feb. 1.—The free-nans' Journal says Lord Salisbury is treating with Lord Bsrtington with a view to inducing him to accept the premier* ship, Salisbury to retain the office of secretary for foreign affair., and that the Right Honorable Wm. Henry Smith, at present government leader in the bouse of commons, be raised to the peerage. ARRESTED FOR PERJURY.

THB AUSTRIAN SUCCESS-!!.. London, Feb. 1.—There is no basis for the theories that Ihe succession to tbe throne of Aautri. would fall to any, other than tbe rich Duke Carl Ludwig, eldest brother of the emperor. Tho Salic law, whioh obtains in Austria, debsrs the daughter of tho late crown prinoe, and Carl Ludwig becomes in- conteetibly his heir apparent. The emperor could not change the succession if he desired to do so, smalley'x cadle. N»w Yobk, Feb, 1.-6. W. Sinnl- ley cables the Tribune: "Princo Rudolph was well-known in London, and when here ton years ago hu was admired in the Marlborough House set as the only man Who could stand more,' sit up later and keep going longer than tha Princo of Wales. His relations to the last with the Prince ol Wale, continued intimate and they became more so when the English heir apparent sided with the Auitriin heir apparent in hie quarrel with the German emperor. If Prince Rudolph's death hss any political effect it i. likely to be in' drawing Austria and Germany closer. PThe Arch Duke Louis, who succeeds, is little known outside of his own country,: The' prince was popular in Austria. His abilities were believed in and he was thought to possess cultured snd even literary tastes. His wife, the Princess Stephanie of Belgium, would loug since have divorced him hut for reasons and influences of state, whioh made the scandal of an imperial divorce impoisible. This is domestic detail, which little, if at all, diminishes the regret felt or osprussed all over Europe for the death of the heir to one uf the greatest and most difficult of- European thrones. UNFAVORAD-E REF0RT.

Afdtt Oazelle learns from a private despatch from Vienna that Rudolph suicided in accordance with an agreement he made with a prince of one of tbe highest familiea in Auitria. The despatch states that Rudolf seduced tho prince's sitter. She told her brother of her disgrace and the latter sought out the crown prince and gave him tho option of killing himself or lighting a duel with bim. Rudolf chose the former to avoid the opeu disgrace of tho 1st- tor. The physicians, after viewing the body, refused lo certify that the prince died of apoplexy, whereupon an exciting scene occurred. One of the physicinns informed iho New Ftie Pr-iof the affair, hoiico the publication for which tho paper is confiscated. ATTAUK ON IIISMAUCK. London, Jan. 31.—Sir Robert Morier having waited in vain for permission lo leave his post as ambassador at St Petersburg in-order to come homo and explain tho uu'ruthfulness of tho charges brought against him by Prince Bismaick, hu grown restless and has evidently determined lo re* turn Ihe German attack with the same kind of weapons thst were used against him. The is no longer any doubt about tbe authorship of the Cotempor- anj Review's artiolc on "The Bismarck- Ian dynasty." Mr. Stead, the editor of tho Pali Mall Gazette, wrote the article, but in ull probability its pointed attack on Prince Bismarck was inspired by Sir Robert Morier, wbo thus is enabfeil to pay oil'his scoro in patt at least. Mr. Stond is known to bu a firm friend of tho ainbutsador and lins heartily dofended him throughout all the recent afi'nir. Tho Pall Mall Gazette, in a leader to-day on tho. deuth of the Crown Princo Rudolph, says: "Tho sudden and mysterious death of Prince Ru* dolpb has removed from the scone another one of those personalities whoso existence was inimical to tho execution of tho plans of Princo Bismarck. In tho middle ages such a run of fatalities would be ascribed to supernatural agencies. Prinoe Rudolph did not love Prince Bismarck, nor did he relish the superior airs affected by the Kaitor William. It is openly declared that If Prince Rudolph had ascended the throne- of Austria, his foreign policy would have been' as Russian as that of his father is Herman. It is asserted that tho crown princo literally trembled at (be mention uf Prince Bismarck's name, his dread of him was so great." HEATH OF F1IINCB RUDOLPH. London, Jan. 31.—Tho rimes, referring to Prinoe Rudolph, says: "The sterner qualities which the throne required he could not show till tho time of trial came, but he had intellectual and social gilts, Thoae who saw him in London at the Jubilee, when the Queen conferred upon bim the order of the Garter, must feel a natural pang lo hear that he ia cut off in the flower of his age with such fearful suddenness.'! The Standard BBys: "All that the World knew of him was in his favor... The shock will be felt in Europe far outside the limit of his empire. The shattered hopes of his parents present a picture that might touch the stoutest heart." THE HAYTIEN WAR Major Poi-ter, an American, will bo Given Command of President Loffitlme's Army. Germany Backs Down and will Withdraw Her Troops from Samoa Forthwith. The Great Street Car Strike in New York and Brooklyn is Practically Ended. IBS &II.MAP.CK DYNASTY. . London, Jan. SI.—Tbe Contemporary Review publishes an article entitled "The Bismarck Dynasty." It cornea from a high authority although it ii accompanied by no signature It begin* by saying that Prince Bismarck cannot live lung and quotes the remark of the American minister at Berlin, made live years ago, "tbat he was surprised that the chancellor was preparing no one to succeed him." Prince Bismarck, waking suddenly to this idea, the article says, began to prepare his son, Count Herbert, for this purpose. Count Herbert Bismarck's youthful, brawls and quarrels and his latter intrigues, including some disgraceful occurrences, in one of which he received a sword cut in the head, are reviewed. The Bismarckinn contempt for women, accentuated by the quarrel which concerned a woman and by another intrigue afterwards, are represented by the article as the origin of all that is batiofuUn the character of young Bismarck. When the Emperor Frederick " died, Count Herbert is credited #»m%ayiJig that "we, shall, have hu more' petticoats in politics now." The Writer of tho article 'dismisses bs ' monstrous thu insinuation thut Prince Bismarck meditated thu death uf tho late emperur when he insisted on the hitler's romoval from San Eemo ro Berlin, but snys that Prince Bismarck feared that hia tu> cundency would bo tiic-naced by thu Empress Frederick. The chancellor also said that from the Emperor Frederick's refusal to discuss state matters with Ctiunt Herbert, it was usoloss to hope that the latter would ever be the Emperor Frederick's chancellor. "Who, then," continues the article, "could be surprised had Prince Bismarck wished the cancer to make haste ." Referring to the dismissal of Minister Von Puttkamer by the Emperor Frederick, the article ascerts that Prince Biimarek could scarcely deoido whether it wu wisest to resist or to f ratify the Emperor Frederick's desire. !ven after advising him to sign the decree of cUuninat it says that as soon as the decree was published tho chancellor told the emperor that he hsd done it too late. The emperor's diary confirms this statement. The article asserts that Prince Bismarck hud a compact with the present em* Keror to oppose the marriage of the ia-_.oIlvereil In tho City, per year. 13.00 Mailed, peryear -,nA Mulled,6 month.............. Suttg British Uolumbian Friday Evening. Feb. I. IfWO. Yesterday wo laid the proposition of the Uot--iiti-.nl Water Works Co. to the city council boforo our read ers. Hy comparing these proposals with those mado by tho same company in May, 1888, ib will be soon thas this last proposition is by long odds the most favorable for the city. Last year the Coquitlnm Water Works Co. asked that in consideration of tho city being "allowed the freo use of hydrants for lire purposes, sprinkling tbo streets nnd flushing the sewers," the company should be given "the proceeds of an annual rate of one-half of one per cent, on the value of tho assessment roll," which being $862,611, would mean un annual guarantee from the city of something over §4,000. Provision wus ulso mado that the city might "after thirty years purchase the works within the city limits, together with the right of independent access to the sourco of supply over the ground covered by the company's right of way, at a valuation to be determined by arbitration," The proposals submitted to the council on .Monday last ask for an annual guarantee of $2,000 only, and provide that, after the expiration of ten years the city ahould have the privilege of acquiring the works "upon such reasonable terras as may bo agreed upon by mutual consent." An alternative proposal allows the city to become the controlling shareholder in the company's stock. Several of the recontly elected aldermen have declared themselves, before election, as in favor of the city owning its own wator works from tho -start. This is admirable as a theory, irrespective of oirounistnnoes; but it is to be hoped that the city council as a whole will not allow itself to attach to mcro theories any undue weight when considering the propositions of the Coquitlnm Water Works Oo. now before it. We be- liovo that these are favorable, the 6rst particularly, and would urge upon the council, in the interests of the city, the advisability of directing their best efforts towards bringing about some arrangement with tho Ooquitlam Wator Works Co., on the linos already proposed. To refuse to consider, or to reject, the proposals above, without good and suflicient reasons, would be a foolish act for tho city, foi the following considerations: The water supply of tho Ooquitlam Lake is unequaled, both as regards quantity, quality, nnd the pressure obtainable by gravitation. The city is urgently in need, on sanitary grounds—and this is a need that is increasing every day with its growth—not only of a pure and uneontaminatable water supply, but of a thorough system of sewerage (the latter being dependent, of course, upon an ample water supply), as is evidenced by cases of sickness that exist at present, and are continually recurring, in our ihidsfc. Westminster also requires better Mre protection, and by means of a gravitation system of water works this would be secured most effectually, and, ut the same time, insurance rates would be lowered nearly one-half. Wo would have the most convenient possible means for sprinkling all tho streets, when this was required. To sum up, Wesl minster would bave nearly perfect sanitary conditions, ample . firo protection, low insurance rates, oonyonionceB for street and lawn sprinkling, and the best of water for domestic purposes, all over tho city, and aa a natural result, largely enhanced values in all city property. And, Instly, by no imaginable scheme that wo can conceive of, can all these desiruble ends be obtained so speedily, satisfactorily, , and cheaply, for tho city, as by closing with ono or other of, what appears to us to be, the fair and reasonable proposals of the Ooquitlam Water Works Oo., submitted to the council at their last meeting. Wo hope the counoil may see their way clear to entertaining favorably one or other of the propo- . rations mentioned, or else be able to furnish satisfactory reasons for not doing so. The following from the Tacoma Ledger, is so refreshingly candid aa to the United States' real status as a naval power I (save the mark), that wo republish it, more especially in view of the increasingly ticklish, state of affairs in Samoa, conse-. quont upon - Germany's declaration of war against King Mataafa. These remarks of tbe Ledger emphasize very strikingly what is generally known about the big ropublic s disgraceful apology for a navy, and will assist the intelligent reader in determining in advance, pretty accurately, what the policy of the United States must be, even if the emboldened Germans go so far as to pluck a feather from the "eagle's" wing. "It is useless to disguise the fact," says the Ledger, "that the controversy between the United States snd Germany,- concerning .the Ssmosn Isles, begins to assume • T*»7 thwf*^-■■**•*••* •■**•] arises from the largo pretensions mode by onr government and the petty means it possesses of enforcing respect from foreign nations. For a quarter of a century, we have transacted national businesa on the Mongolian theory that ours is the greatest nation in the world, and that the whole world is afraid of us. Ships, cannons, forts and marines we have considered entirely unnecessary. Big talk was to supply the place of all usual facilities for maintaining national dignity. Our population, our money, and certain rolls of ancient parchment called "treaties," have been our reliance, The "Monroe doctrine" has been another paper bulwark. What did the small but martial power of Greece care for the gold, the population and the magnificence of the the Persian empire ? The Greeks knocked the empire into pieecs.took possession of the gold, and ruled the vast population at pleasure. They cared nothing for old arrangements and ancient things,' because they had tho military machinery to enable thom to do as they pleased. The United States cannot hold its proper position among the nations of the earth without complying with the conditions. We have kept Great Britain at bay for the reason that Canada would be defenseless against the soldiers we could muster and arm. We have no defense against other naval powers. A few years ago we talked big to the little nation of Chili, which we havo always regarded with contemptuous condescension. Chili was not, frightened, but defiant. It wns then discovered that Chili had a war vessel that could sink the whole American navy, and destroy every oity on the Atlantic or Pacific seaboard. As a natural consequenee we had to pursue a pusilonimous course—in common parlance, "take water." When there was danger of a war with Spain, the only war policy it was ascertained that we could pursue was that of loading troops on a large fleet of unarmed transports and have them run tbe gauntlet of the Spanish iron-dads around Ouba, It will be claimed that congress is building a navy "as fast as it oan." That if tho navy should be built any faster much money would be stolen. If wo are such a nation of thieves that we can't build a navy as soon as we need it, for fear that most of the money would be stolen, or if we care more for our money than we do our national honor, then we have lost our position among the nations of the earth. We cunuot bully Germany or any other strong nation. If we try it our pride will be promptly humbled and our vaunted surplus will be cargoed over to fill the coffers of the German empire. If we are unwilling to promptly put ourselves iu a position not only for defense, but vigorous offense, then let us make some country a present of the Monroe doctrine, and closely mind our own business and let the isles of the ocean take care of thera- ■es." The Ledger is to be commended for its candid utterance of even the foregoing humiliating facts; for the motive is, no doubt, purely patriotic, and the surest way to obtain a remedy for a bad state of things is to point out the dire neces sity that exists for a cure. It need hardly be expected that the American nation, knowing its present vul- nerableness on tho water so well, will allow itself to be drawn into actual hostilities with Germany over Samoan aflairs,if such an eventuality can possibly be avoided.

A writer hi (Cambers'* Journal tells of a number of bulls as much amusing. The guardsman's remark to the English nobleman who Was in tho habit of affably conversing with soldiers, "I like you, my lord; there.is nothing of a gentleman about you," offers an ox* amplo of tho kind. "How many deathat" asked u hospital physician. "Nine." "Why, I oifderod medicine forteiii.-' **_res;butono would uobtiikoit," WOfsitl-p startling reply. "Hillo! whofe .are you gling at this time of night?" said "a gentleman to his servant. "You are after no good, I'll warrant." "Please, sir, mistress Bent me for you, sir," was tho response A gentlemen said to tho waiter of his club: "Michael, if I should dio, would you attend my funeral*" "Willingly, sir," was tho hasty answer. "Woll,Mii._i:.cl1 that iBu't very complimen^ry." "No,.sir, I' didn't nunc that, sir j-1 wouldn't be! soon tlicre, shy' wuS the flmll^ consolatory reply. . A child may often bo expected to put his or hor heed leas littlo foot in it, us the* phrase goes. For instance, a young-tor ono day begged au invitation to dinner »t tho houso of it friend wltli whom ho had boon playing. At tho tablo his hostess anxiously inquired: " Charlie, can you eut your own moat." "Humph!" said tho youngster, who was sawing away, " cau't 1. I've cut up quite as tough moat as this at home!" Peoplo who aro destitute of tact might take wanting f root euch juvenile molaprops, butsuoh does not often appear to ho tho caso, judging by the numerous examples to the contrary. A millionaire railway king has a brother who is hard of hearing, while ho himself Id remarkable as having a vory prominent noao. Onco the, railway king dined nt a friend's house when he sat bc-lwoon two ladies, who otalkod to http vory loudly, rather to his annoyance, but ho said nothing. Finally one of them shouted # com- monplaco remark, and then said In an ordinary tone to the other:" Did you ovor soo such a noso tn all your life I" •* Pardon me, Indies," said the millionaire, "it's my brother who is deal" - You. can imagine the horror of the lady: who li_du.«sd in such personal remarks; tyot she.1 won ho more awkwardly placed than tho tioro of tho following: Whon dining nt a certain coatlo n Mr. T—, after tbo ladies rotirdd, remarked to a gentleman present that tho lady wliu sat on his right was the ugliest woman ho hod overseen. "I am sorry to hoar," said tlio gentleman, " that you think that my wifo is so ill-looking." "Oh, no, sir; I mount tho lady who sat on my loft; I made a miBtako." " Well, sir, sho is my sister." Alluding to newspapers, it may be remarked that advertisers and unpractised writers therein through ambiguity of words and phrases often commit absurdities that may be touched on as further illustrating, our subject A oountry pupor onco related how, "during the celebration, a child was run over wearing a short dress, which never spoke afterward," In tbo description of tho doings of a mod dog it is said that "ho bit a horso on tho log, which has since died." An account of a f uucral soy s:' 'The remains were committed to that bourne from, which no traveler returns attended by bis friends." It is not surprising that foreigners somo- times fall to catch all the shades of meaning to our words. A Frenchman translated Shakespeare's line, "Out, brief can* dlo," by; "Get out, you short candle." And the expression, "With my swoM' I will carvo my way to fortune," wus roudered: "With my sword I will make my fortune cutting moat." Advertisers often givo us nmuslpg specimens of composition, of which thi.. In mi ox- amplo: "Lost by a poor lad tied up iuu brown papor with a whito string a German flute with an overcoat on and sovoral other articles of wearing apparel." • A miller attempted to testify to tho merits of a powder for destroying vermin by saying: "A fortnlghtago 1 was lull of rats, and now I don't think, I havo ono." v Examples moro oftho "bull" gonim also come under tho title of tliis paper us cases iu point. For instance, a newspaper was running n serial story called "The Truth." One week, so mueh space being devoted to othor matters, tho editor was unable to coutlnuo tho story, so mado tho lolknvliij* uimonncoinont, containing porhnp-i moro truth than any other Item in tho paper: " 'Tho Truth' was crowded out of thii* issue ou account of tho press of moro important matter." A bashful gentleman who visited a school kept by a young lady was asked by tho teacher to say a few words to tho pupils. This was his speech: "Scholar.*- 1 hopo you will always love your school and ioachor as much ns I do." A tableau of g.j*«.li.f* pupils and a blushing teaoher attested the effectiveness of his words. Tha lecturer put bis foot in it as .thorough* ly whon he prefaced his discourse upon tho rhinocoros with: "I,must bog you to -rlvo mo your undivided attention; indeed, it is absolutely impossible that you could forma truo idea of tho hideous animal of which wo aro about to speak, unless you keep your oyes fixed on me." A certain preacher,' discoursing upon Qunyaa. and his works, caused a titter among nt* hearers by exclaiming: "In theae dip, my hrothern, we want more Bunyans." Another clovgy- man, pleading earnestly with bla parishioners for tho construction of aoemetory for' their pariah, asked them to consldor the " deplorable condition of thirty thousand Christian Englishmen living without Christian burial." Btlll more curious was tbo clerical slip with which we oouclndo. A gentleman said to tho minister: When do you expect to seo Deacon 8—again:" " Never," said the reverend gentlemau, sol* omnly;" tho deacon is in Heavon." ftanJSU*, Finger Cramp. .

Tho British Columbia papers, notwithstanding these disadvantages, of which they do not complain, but for which they desire to get due credit, present their readers daily with full snmmaries of the news of the world. They intend tb keep it up. The Canadian pluok and energy which they exhibit deserve a word of praise and encouragement.

Iti-Niiernle Weeds. A largo audience assembled last night at the Baptist church to listen to (J. W, Rnsure, the cow-boy evangelist, speak of the desperate deeds committed on the frontier by renegade whites, assisted by Indians. The speaker was one of the few who joined themselves together for the purpose of driving these demons in human form from tlio frontier. In relating his ox- patience whilo thus engaged, tho Bufferings of the innocent came so vividly before the speaker that fur a short time ho was overcome with grief. He showed plainly how wicked man becomes when completely under tho influence of the evil one. He spoke at length on the danger of committing small sins, saying at one timo thom ronegrades of thu plains wero innocent boys, thus showing how fast nny one will travel the downward rond of sin. At the close of the meeting three manifested their desire to forsake sin. "Desperate Deeds" will be conoluded to-night. All are welcome. Port it-lli. This is a new prospective townsite, situated about ten miles above this city, un the south bank of the Fraser, and immediately at the point where tliu Westminster Southern first strikes thu river. The new "port" is named after our late enterprising citizen, Mr. Henry Kelts, who owns overu hundred acres at that point, He has erected buildings for his own use, established a steamboat landing, mado arrangement*, for having his land surveyed into town lots, and, altogether, the appearances are that "Port Kells" will soon be the nucleus at least of a future town. Mr. Kells says he hns valuable deposits on his land, of ballasting gravel, the finest stool-gray builders' sand, and choice yellow pottery clay. All theso aro nearly inexhaustable. The different strata are arranged in the following ordor over an area of about 60 acres : Fint, gravel, from 6 to 10 feet deep; second, fine sand, with a depth of from 8 to 10 feet; and, lastly, a layer of beautiful Cry clay, from 4 to 0 feet in depth, take tho description and the figures from Mr. Kelt's own account, ti who also adds that the different strain may bo plainly traced in the river bank, especially during tlie winter when the water is low. All these valuable deposits, as we have intimated, sre situated at tho junction ol the Southern Railway with the Fraser river, and Mr. Kells oxpects shortly to supply gravel, sand, and pottery for the entire country. Mer! lug. at Matsqui and (he -tHsslon. At a public mooting held at Matsqui Prairie on Saturday, Jan 26th, to consider tho steps to be taken to get tho proposed railway bridge across the Fraser constructed to admit of road traffic, Mr. John Maclure was voted to chair, and tbe following resolutions were unanimously passed: 1. That it would bo very desirable to havo tho proposed O.P.R. bridgo across the Fraser in the neighborhood of the Mission, wherever it may be located, built to nccommodalo road traffic, for the following reasons: (I) There is at present no traffic bridge across the Fraser below Yale; (2) the additional oxpeiiBe required to make such bridge available for road traffio would not bo great; (3) if available for road traffic such bridge would be of great use to a very large extent of country on both sides of the river; (4) a traffic bridge will be indispensable in the near future, which it will be practically impossible to construct from the great expense of a separate bridge, and the hindrance to navigation from having two draw bridges in close proximity to each other. 2. That the meeting request ihe member for the district, Mr. Chisholm, to use his influence at Ottawa to have tbe proposed bridge so built. 3. That this meeting request the Hon. Mr. Robson to lay the matter before the local government, and get them to do nil they can to have a stipulation to this effect inserted in the plans for the said bridge, as the opportunity will not recur of constructing a a traffio bridge at so small a cost. 4. That the secretary of this meeting be instructed to forward copies of tho minutes of the meeting to Mr, Chisholm, M. P., tho Hon. John Rob son, M. P. P., Mr- ladner M. P. P., and Mr. Orr, M. P. P. , and to the British Columbian New Westminster, and the World, Vancouver. At a meeting held at the Mission, ou Jan, 20th, at which Mr. Jas.

In defence Charley maintained thnt he was one of the best mon in the world und never did a mean action or raised unnecessary trouble. In fact, according to his own showing, he was just a little too good to be with* out wings. Charley claimed that Spuzzum Joe hud assaulted him with an axe, and, to use his own words, "Struck him on the sido of the houae" which made his nose bleed.

Children Cryfor Pltcher'sCastorla|fogandBho«ting"ViveBouiangeri» Children Cryfor Pltcher'sCastorla Korion Colohiua.v:—In looking over the Lieut.■('vernor's opening addreu at Viotoria yesterday, I wu particularly struck with the fact that tho only positive wish that was indicated by the speech was the necessity for a "jnvcnQe reformatory." This looks rather gloomy for a young province of the Do-wnlon, whose second generation, since becoming a crown colony, has scarcely arrived ot manhood. What is tbe matter? Can this suggestion by tho Governor bo ap* fdicable to tho province generally, or is t only applicable to tho Capital City! Ono would think that, bolora publishing to the world, the necessity of such an institution, the Governor would advise preventive legislation. If the youth of a youthful city, such ns Victoria, or Nsw Westminster, or Vancouver, or Nanaimo, are so fallen as to noed such an institution as ii indicated by the Governor's speech, then, surely, there muat be Institutions In these which havo done their deadly work, effectually. Would It not have been better if tho government had put a check on those schools of vice which havo been graduating their pupils so certainly, that It hu become such a serious question u would appear from this state document. When this question comes up in the legislature, it is to bo hoped that there will appear amongst the members, not only a desire, but a determination, to stop the manufacture, by law, or by toleration, of unfortunate criminal juveniles. ' Prevention Is better than cure. It Is to be deplored that in tho Governor's spcoch he has overlooked some of the most needed measures for legislation. This provinco has arri veil nt that stage when the people ought to take a more active part in the admistration of their local affairs. Thore should be an extension of municipal government. Both cities and rural communities should be allowed to exercise themselves more with regard to schools and public improvements. The govc.-nmont of British Columbia has beeu, and still Is, more liko an absolute monarchy than a free democratic government by the people. It may suit the purpose of tho would-bo rulers to keep the people in short clothes, and just as long, u the people send such creatures to represent thom it will be so.
