It will Wi'seim from a telegram in another,.,Colunin that the United States government iiiu yielded to the popular demand for an investigation into the affairs of tho Alaska Sealing Ca, and tho wholo policy of the seal fisheries of Behring sea.

If, the defeat of the provincial government, promised last February by bur local contemporary, hus not been accomplished, it is not'through lackof opportunities to test the wii) of the house.

In tho division yesterday it had only 6. There is no doubt at all that the government en- jiryr: tlie confidence of the iiouse, and and that the prediction made by our contemporary with so much apparent confidence was simply bluff. Referring to the sohool amendment, requiring cities to provide one- third bf the cost of maintaining their public schools, the Viotoria Times mentions Thk Columbian as one of the papers opposing it, and calls it the organ of the provincial secretary. We have several times denied that The Columbian is the organ of tho proviheial secretary or of any other man or set of men; but the opposition keeps on rofr>rr-ng to it as an organ all the same, supposing that if such an idea becomes instilled into the publio mind it may weaken the force of the politir j1 utterances of this journal, But the Times must see that it makes itself ridiculous. If this journal is the organ of the provincial secretary, it must necessarily represent his viows. But the obnoxious clause in the school amendment wns introduced and defended by the provincial secretary, and Tim Columbian's attitude toward that clause was one of uncompromising opposition. There is nothing at all remarkable about this, however, for the Times never stops to apply the ordinary rules of common sense to its political sayings. It is not often that Tun Oo- lubmian differs from tho provincial secretary; but whon such occasions arise, it docs not hesitate to express ita opinions respectfully nnd firmly. It is in no sense a party organ, lie- causo it never permits party considerations to turn it aside from pursuing the course whioh it dooms to be in the publio interest. All ut- tempts -of the opposition press to oast doubt upon its independence aire failures. It will doubtless calm the nerves of many people to learn that Queen Victoria has conoluded hor visit to Berlin, and has left for home, and there has been no explosion, and nothing has broken, People who relied upon tho frenzied dispatches coming from Berlin would supfw â that the advent of our good queen at the German capital wns the one circumstance wanting to make an explosion absolutely certain. There had been a misunderstanding between the German emperor nnd Bismarck over the proposed marriage of the princess, and it was generally â¢uppoted that Queen Victoria's little trip contempiai.cu an adjustment of the love affair contrary to lit's- lilarck's policy. This would, it wns thought, precipitate war. The moment Russia learned thut tlie princess royal and Prince Alexander intended to go into housekeeping, she would swoop down upon Bulgaria, besiege Constantinople, attack Berlin and dispatch a (lent of ironolads from the Baltic to pick the bones of the British lion. The whole of Eu- rjope would then take part in a general fight, during which France would take back the provinces wrested from her during the last campaign. But all this programme seems to have miscarried, and oven the placid arrangements mapped out for Europe by the Guardian in its wonderful and unique articles on ''"foreign Affairs," seem to have col- lapsed. We aro not led to suppose thnt .Uw British queen so much ns opened Her lips on the subject of matrimony, while at Berlin, and hor visit has not disturbed or endangered the throne of tho smallest principality in Europe. Instead of timing their books on her the Berliner* ware most cordial, and her visit soems to have been entirely satisfactory to herself and the Gorman people. i If the charm of her bfUunee eoald but lift the emperor of Germany from the gloom which has cast its dark shadows nbout his imperial life, the peaco of Europe would be aasured, and the visit of tho good queen would become a nr- MritaMo i benediction to the civil- M-#o*#, â ' Onus* M.

Aleeholle llrlnks In Ihe I'nlnr end Tropical roslons. Tho tropical and tho polar regions afford tho oxtromost test of human endurance. It is by observing tho effects of certain conditions of living in theso trying climates that scientints and doctors obtain their most valuable information. This is especially true of tlio effects of alcoholic stimulants. As for the worst of tropical climates and conditions, the testimony of Stanley is most unqualified. His experience hns taught him the dinger and deatlliucss of alcoholic stiinulantrr in Africa, And now comes another expert, Gon. A. W. Groely, who adds his ox- pert testimony to tbe condemnation of tho uso of spirits in the Arctic regions in a very interesting contribution to the August number of tho Jr'irum. Goiiii* bnck of his own oxpotiienee, Gen. Greely refers to the British Arctic expedition of 1875, tho officers and men for which were carefully picked out of tho wholo Royal Navy, for strorrgth aud stamina. The medical director of the Royal Navy, Sir Alexander Armstrong, recommended the substitution of tea or cocoa for spirits, but the full spirit rations wero served until the men took the field, when the rations woro reduced ono-half. The result was that one-fifth of all tlio olli- cers of the expedition, and 57 per cent, of the men wore stricken with scurvy. Although the committee's roport does not atlirin that thoir use uf alcohol was the direct cause, somo of its observations uro highly siguificant, viz.: "it ia a singular fact in the history oftho exhibition that tho first two cases of scurvey occurred in mon who wero addicted to an immoderate use of alcohol. . . . Tho substitution of tea for alcohol in slodgo travelling is attended with much benefit." Geu, Greoly gives in detail the effots of alcohol on the men iu hiB expedition, and Buys that "it seems to me to follow from these Arctic experiences that the regular use of spirits, evon in moderation, under conditions of great physical hardship, continued and exhausting labor, «r exposuro to sot ere cold, cannot be too strongly J 'precated, und that when used as r nentnl stimulus or as a physical luxury ithey should bo taken in moderation." Gon. Greely concludes his authoritative testimony against riio uso of alcoholic spirits, excopt in groat moderation and under very peculiar circumstances, by saying that his contribution "will not have boon written in vain if it has tho effect of correcting among any class of laboring nien tho mistaken idea that their capacity for work is increased or t heir powers of endurance to exposure and cold en- hancod by tho uso of alcohol. Tho English navy nevor drinks while working, and the Esquimaux and Chukchcs, without nloiriiul, endure unharmed, tho severest temperatures known to mon." Could there bo two bottor, more credible or more authorit'.tive witneB- ses as to the danger or inutility of alcoholic stimulants, under the most trying conditions, whon, if over, such stimulants might be deemed necessary, than Heury M. S'-.nloy and Gen. A. W. Greely' A Crowning Com. Intempuramrc is a crowning curse. Its horrors havo never boen fully portrayed. No pencil is black onnugh to psuit thopicuiri, and'do it full justice. "So tongue is eloquent enough to tell tlie s id story in all the dreadful details. Urunl i ib a wide ami withering ohrse-rnblearing tho eyoB, blistering tho tongue, deranging tho stomach, paralyni.'TT; t'..a nerves, hardening the- liver, poisoning the blood, coagulating the brain, indncim and aggravating many diseases and digging myriads nf premature graves. It is a financial curse, draining the |iockot, inviting poverty, diminishing comforts, multiplying miseries, tilling almshouses, and creating hard times. It is a mental curse, clouding the judgment, dethroning the reason, promoting ignorance, prodiiuciiig imbecility, and trausfonn- nii* its victims into maniacs and fools, It is n moral curse, weakening tho will, inflaming tho passions, hushing the voico of conscience and preparing the wuy for every vice aud crime Tho attendant miseries of intemperance irwiiriii like a locust plaguo. In the slimy trail of tho alcoholic serpent you find everything that is dark and dreadfulâeverything that is regretful nnd ruinous. At Dubuque, Iowa, permanent injunctions, the first over issued in that city, wero grantod by Judgo Doy. Prohibition thus begins, to prohibit, ovon in Dubuque. Thero were ninety breweries iu Maine in 1883, and when the supreme court decision was rondered there were 14, but now there arc none in operation. Lunatics havo incrensed from 0,000, in 1870, to 10,000 in 1887, in one department of France alone, this increase being mainly attributed to alcoholism. Tho Kansas supremo court again affirmed the constitutionality of the prohibitory law of thnt state, in two additional decisions of appealed oases. . . >- Sixty-four counties in Dakota have declared for prohibition under the local option law. ......

I was ruiul by this time an' I took it to the creek an' staked it down to tho bottom, whero the currant was rapid, an' Baid if it didn't spoil the water for the stock I'd leavo it thero n month.

About 5 o'clock this morning tho river, opposite tho city, was covered with a mass of driftwood, trees, logs, stumps and other debris. Many of tho trees had evidently been lately uprooted, their tops being green, and bushes in leaf wore also noticed among the floating mass. The river has been steadily rising for more than a week and iB now very high for this time of the year. Some of the old inhabitants, who havo n good knowledge of the river, are of the opinion that a gigantic landslide has occurred up the country, or that tlie Fraser has been milking for itself a new channel. â â¦â â â¦â » â Martin's Eschjip. Facts are coming to light in Tacoma which show that Martin, tho murderer, was assisted by some rich smugglers who wore afraid thut ho would make a confession before ascending the scaffold. His confession would implicate mnny, nnd his actions during tlio trial prove that lie hud uo fears regarding the final result of the case. The mnn was chained in a coll with a shackle on both feet and a piece of chain running from ono to tho othor. Tho chains woighed 15 pounds and at every step they would clank Butliciently hard to be heurd a long distance. A death watch was in the narrow cell with the prisoner uud the latter chained to tho floor. Thu guard slept and states that ho was awakened by hearing Martin close nnd lnck the cell door. Everything waa prepared for the prisoner's escape, and tho only fault iu tho whole affair it tbat the guard did not accompany the murderer. Martin will be shot on sight, as an attempt to capture him alive would result iu the appro- hender being seriously injured.-â Times. .-â¦ â¢»â â » A rilgrlmrcc lo Roue.

Beforo it is ended the pilgrims, will have traveled ovor 15,000 miles and will havo consumed over a quarter of a yonr uf time, and in addition the outlay of money for presents to the nopo aud traveling expenses will not full short of $500,000. The presents thut the pilgrims aro currying to tho pupii will certainly rank among the ioort magnificent offerings that hnve ever been made to his holiness. Their value is estimated nt o'vt-r 9200,000, and thoy are the gift of the church and personal olferings from all parts of Mexico. Tho most brum if til is a gold filigree proas, nine inches high and two inches wide, set with diamonds and opals.

A large solid gold snug box sot with pearls constitutes another of tho offerings, which number in all over 200, and nre all the result of native workmanship. The presents are in twenty-three cases, seventeen of which are tilled with silver, churoh and table service. Sleeplessness is due to nervous excitement.

The railway company has consented to this arrangement, and 0 claims out of the 15 reported by the select committee will bo arbitrated. Six have boon allowed by the company. Tho bill, whioh was introduced by tho attorney-goneral, is in reality an agreement mudo between the government and the company aud is submitted to thu house for its ratification. D oan- not bo ultored in any particular. Thy lull Btntga that the cympauy hiuj expressed Its willingness to recognise tlm claims of (> of those repudiated, und that tho claims of the othor nino should bo referred to arbitration. Tlie bill provides that the company, upon tho passing of the act, shall forthwith namo C of those formerly repudiated as being entitled to purchase their lots nt $200 per lot.

Alt other claims in respect of any lot in the townsito of Granville under any arrangement between the government and tho company, except those to bo so arbitrated upon, shall bo barred forover. The opposition criticized the agreement rather severely, claiming that if the settlers had been placed in their present position by the bungling of the â govornment, they should not leave any of theso people to tho fortunes of au arbitration. They Baid that a committee of the houso hnd found that all wero bona title settlers, therefore no 6 of them should be favored above the others.
