In fact, it was by them\nlooked upon as a nuisance.

Hut It would seem that\nsuch ia not the case, as communications from different correspondents\nwould tend to show thnt a good deal of\nfeeling slid exists among many, and\nSome are beginning tu entertain the\nconviction that, motives of economy\nwere not the only ones which prompted\nthe alderman In their first action in\nthis nutter. Others would seem to\nhnye formed the idea that our north\nfnr contemporary is not altogether unbiassed in its expressions of opinion on\nthe question as the following, received\nfrom one of Vepnons citizens, will tend\nto show :\n\" From the manner in which the\neditor of the Vernon News is belabor\niog the city Police Magistrate, it would\nlead one tu suppose that not only\nmust he be considerably in arrears\nwith bis subscription lo that valuabli\npublication, but also that he must have\nprovoked the personal spite of all\nthose connected with it. It is hard,\nlifter carefully perusing the numerous\narticles on the subject that have tiriinn\nlited from the muscular pen of the edi\n(or, to see exactly where our unfortim\nate friend has erred, and though it is\npot to lie supposed that his mind is\ngreatly exercised over the matter, we\nhope It will teach him, as well as others, t\u00C2\u00AB he extremely polite to news,\npaper editors in future, and always tt\npay subscriptions in advancd, as well\nas to advertise largely, then we can\nvouche safe that they will not he\ncalled upon from the editorial chair to\nresign any public office they may happen to hold.\n KSH\t\nAN UNWARRANTED WARRANT,\nA complaint laid hefaro a justice of\n(he peace does not always warrant\n(hat individual in issuing a summons,\nIts the following will show. A few\ndays ago a citizen, Mr. T. McDonald\nby name, had occasion to leave his\ncabin for a few hours. In the meantime a Mr, Clement Cliit'ingbiu-ii sought\nMr. McDonald on business, went to\n(he cabin, found It open, entered and\nleft. Mr. McDonald shortly after returned home, searched for some money\n|ie thought he had secreted in the\nhouse, and found it not, Immediately\nSteps were taken to bring the criminal\nto justice, and to this end a warrant\nWas sought and obtained for the arrest\npi the visitor, which was carried info\nexecution. On arriving with his pris.\nliner at the aforesaid cabin, there\nlaiing nil luck-up in the district, the\npewly appointed special conslable discovers the missing money in his own\npocket. Piestq change 1 Change, yes I\nPlUt not before the flows gut spread\nabroad that a perfectly innocent man\nhad lieen, guilty of a mean petty theft.\nTherefore, we feel |t incumbent upon\nns Ui not only point nut the very little\ngrounds that existed fur the |niuance\nllf the warrant, but hy (jiving publicity\nto the ease, to partially, at any I'llt\",\ncleur away (ho stigma that has been\nplaced upun a perfectly innocent individual,\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2Sl a-**\t\nNQTRS AND, COMMENTS.\nTbe aetlofl uf (he United States Senate in refusing Ui pay the sum agreed\nupon as damages tu injury Inflicted\nlo British sealers ||| the IJnhring Sea,\njs causing much adverse criticism both\npi the just und gene'ous-mindcd of the\nAmerican, as also in Ihe Canadian\npress. The negotiations as to tlie\namount of damages wete conducted in\nthe regular milliner, through Mr,\nUrcshnin, the United States decretory\nnf Style, and Sir Julian Paqucefote,\nthe Bv|tfih representullve tt Washington, The sum nf IftB.OUO WH( H(fpr-\nrd by -Ml- Ocshum as compeiisatinu,\niind I bin sipu was accepted by the Brit.\nisb Uovei'iinient, un, presumably, the\nrei'oiiiiueiid||(iou of Sir Charles Tup*\npei-l The offer was accepted, uol. be*\ncause it was considered adequate hi\nsatisfy the full demand of those injured, but on Ihe grounds that a\nprompt pay inenl of a specified amount\n\yere preferable to Incurring the delay\nallll'v'xpeiise of Jtfi'ITing t|ie ||iiittt'V to\nuniunuiuu auu un- imiuiiig in a minute investigation into detailed claims,\nMr. Cleveland, in his message to Cap.\ngress, recommended the payment of\n(he sum because be believed Canada\nWoqld receive a larger award were the\nmatter brought to arbitration, and\nshould the Semite, when they again\nmeet, continue obdurate, this uo doubt\nwill be the ultimate result. The assumption uf certain Canadian papers,\nthat thu award is irretrivably lost, is\nentirely without foundation in fact.\nThe honor of the United States is at\nstake, and a great nation cannot and\nWill not allow that honor (o bo sullied\nIn the eyes of the whole world by the\nrepudiation of a just debt, ThcSentlle\nPress Tillies, commenting op the subject, thus concludes;\u00E2\u0080\u0094.\n\"This congress seems neither to care\nfor the national credit in finance or oa*\ntinniil honor in diplomacy. The\nground upon which the appropriation\nfor the sealing award was refused was\nthat many of the claimants are American citizens who simply hoisted the\nBritish flag on their schooners to escape liability to the laws of the United\nStates, There is probably no doubt\nabout this i but it seems In be a late\nhour In the duy to raise llie question.\nThe time to have done so was before\nthe award wus given. This country\nfavors the settlement of International\ndisputes bv arbitration, and will not\napprove of the action of congress in\nthis matter.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 -\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nThe Province, published in Victoria,\nthus facetiously announces iia first\nyear's birthday : \" Were it not that\nthe Province was at the start shown\neven more than the usual amount of\ncold shoulder and suspicion which the\n' old red sandstone' element of our discriminating fellow townsmen, with a\nbreadth of mind singularly Its own,\noffers to anything not |n exact accord*\nance with the requirements of the\nplace as it somewhatorudely existed in\n1815, there would he nothing note,\nworthy in the life of this newspaper.\nThat we are a voar- old this week is\nfairly good proof that the business is\nnot exactly in the hands of the sheriff,\nand a call nt the editorial offices will\nsatisfy the most sceptical that the editor is still out of jail.\" Apropos, it\nwill not be out of place to remind our\nreaders that The AOYANOH also, ere\nmany weeks, will have celebrated its\nfirst anniversary.

Mr. Eholt, it will be remembered, on selling his property on which\nthe town here now stands, bought the\nfamous Okanagan Smith's ranch in the\nOsoyoos valley. Since the purchase,\nmany complications have arisen\nwhich keep him out of possession of\nthe same, but ho is confident that\nwithin a year at most he will be uble\nto get possession.\nSaturday's mail brought the sad news\nto Mrs. McDonald, our public school\nteacher here, of the death of her\nfather, Mr. John Kirkland of Ladner's,\nB, C\u00E2\u0080\u009E on March 15th last, It was not,\nhowever, altogether unexpected, as he\nhad heen nick for some time past.

By the terms of the lease it\nis understood that no less than ten\nmen are to he kept at work constantly\nduring the season. It seems a great\npity that the property could not be\nworked by white labor, as then there\nmight lie a possibility of the money\npaid out in wages finding its way into\nlocal channels of trade.\nQuite a nuinher of claims have al\nready heen taken up on Ah Shim\ncreek this spring, principally by Chinese. There js every possibility of a\nlarge amount of money lieing taken\nout of the creek this summer, as it is\nwell understood the Chinamen who\nworked there last season did not do at\nall badly, and of necessity last year's\nwork consisted iu great part of prospecting the ground.\nMr. W. Brown, manager and principal owner of the Volcanic Mountain\nclaim, on the north fork of Kettle\nriver, passed through Midway a few\ndays ago, and reported the tunr.,\u00E2\u0096\u00A0!\nwhich is being driven hy himself n I\nassistants to tup the vein on the claim,\nto he now in a distance of 300 feet,\nThis is tlm kind of development work\nfor prospeotors to carry on to prove\ntheir property. If they are successful\nin striking a large body of oro their\nreward w[ll be represented, not by\nhundreds of dollars, but by hundreds\nof thousands, as Mr, Brown considers\nthat the day they strike the ledge with\nthe tunnel this same claim will be\nworth to them a million dollars. This\nmode of developing their property is\ncertainly a departure from the general\nmethods adopted by the average run\nof prospectors, and whether they become millionaires or not, one thing is\ncertain, they will richly deserve a\ngrand reward for the greet amount of\nwork done. The development work,\nas it stands to-day, cost a good many\nthousands of dollars, as well as the\ntime spent by them iu driving the tunnel, but such is the determination of\nthese men to reach the goal of their\nambition that they would almost run\ninto the centre of the earth rather\nthan be disappointed,\nThe Oro Denaro, Mr. W. A. Corbett\nowner, has been bonded to Mr, W, T.\nThompson, of Fairview, for the sum of\n$30,000. This is without doubt the\nlargest copper property on the American continent. Although undeveloped,\nit has a showing of sulphuret of copper ore which, we are given to understand, is some 000 or 700 feet in width\non the surface, The bond was secured\nin the interest of a strong eastern mining syndicate, and on the securing of\nwhich Mr, Thompson can be congratulated, as it is well known many overtures have recently been mude to the\nowner. The vein of ore on the Emma\nclaim, owned and being developed by\nthe Parett Smelting Co,, runs out into\nthe Oro Denaro, thereby lending an\nadditional value to the latter property,\nas recent development lends to prove\nthat the Emilia is likely to turn out to\nbe a body of ore similar to that found\nin the Trail creek country, equally\nrich and of enormous size, Nature has\nlent a strong hand to the development\nof the Oro Denaro, as by its peculiar\nposition on the face of the mountain it\nis a property easily worked. Tunnels\ndriven at the base of the mountain\nwould provo the ore bodies at a depth\nof 250 feot. It is safe to say the Ixiqd\ngives to the holder uu option on ono of\nthe hest copper properties to lie found\nin any of the camps, The samegentle-\niiinti has secured an option on the\nBruce claim on Ingram mountain,\nwhich is owned by Messrs. Synionds\nand Wallace, and is a large body of\npeacock copper ore. The bond on the\nproperty requires that considerable\ndevelopment work he done, the same\nto he carried out this summer.\n > H \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nTHE WOBLD OVEB.\nLi Hung Chang has been dispatched\nby the Chinese government to Japan\nwith powers as peace commissioner,\nThe Manitoba Legislature bus passed\na resolution abolishing all expenditures\nfor the Lieut.-Governor's residence\nafter the present year.\nAlarming reports come from Newfoundland nf the distress prevalent\nthere, It is stated that in St. John's\nalone there are nearly 3,000 families in\na state of starvation,\nThe Imperial navy estlmutes for the\nensuing year amount to the enormous\ntotal of \u00C2\u00A318,700,000.
