It wm a remarkablo hot tbat Messrs. Orr and Ladner were absent during tbe debate upon the Sumas Dyking act repeal bill in tbe house yesterday. Tbey were probably talking over campaign incidents in the lunchroom. The real interests of their district do not seem to occupy too much of their attention.â Colonist. It is reported that some professed, friends of temperance will vote for Mr. Chisholm because they are not sure Mr. Trapp will carry out his temperance professions. Suppose they ure uot sure, they may be perfectly sure that Mr. Chisholm is opposed to the cause they profess to have ut heart, How many persons in tbe liquor business are going to vote for Trapp! You will find every man of them, unless influenced by personal antipathy, polling his vote solidly for Chisholm. The Toronto Mail thinks the time has arrived when a halt should be called in the granting of public moneys to what it calls "wild-cat railway schemes," and we fully agree in this opinion. Since 1882, says our cotemporary, "upwards of $11, 000,000" have been applied to doubtful railway enterprises; and the question which comes to the consideration of the projectors of these schemes is not whether they will pay as a commercial enterprise, but will tiie government grant a sub vention! There never was any question in the minds of independent men respecting the purpose for which many federal bonuses liave been given. They were given to influence votes. The Russian government has contracted a loan of 25,000,000 rubles with a Paris firm for the construction of the Ferekop Canal in Southern Russia. M. Louis Oaisseau, a French engineer of Suez Canal fame, is to be the ohief engineer. The canal will establish a direct communication between the River Don, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov, and will also be the medium of connecting several South Russian railway lines. It will be of considerable strategical importance, but its commercial significance will be still greater, as it will enable coal to be brought from the rich mines in the vicinity of the River Don to the Black Sea, where their selling pries will be lower tlian that of English coals, which at present are the only kind used at Constantinople and the Black Sea ports,--Scientific American. We aro glad the legislature has taken energetio measures to suppress the disgraceful outrages which have been perpetrated on the Chinese by the Vancouver mob. Such lawless acts of violence against men who were blameless in the eyes of the law, and who were offering no menace to nny person, could not be overlooked without danger of covering the province with disgrace in the eyes of the world and bringing about international complications of a most embarrassing kind. It is generally believed that most of the Vancouver officials secretly sympa thise with thon who have been guilty of these outrages. If they had stood firmly for law and justice, tho events of whioh we complain would probably not have occurred. The prompt suspension of these officials was, therefore, quite justified, The Ohinese in this country must receive the protection of the law. Regulations respecting the cutting of timber on preempted or publio lands across the line do not seem to be much less restrictive than those enforced in our own territory. It is held by the courts there that a person who pre-empts public lands may cut timber for hiB own use, but cannot sell or dispose of it at all unless it has been out in the ordinary way of clearing land for the purpose of .tillage. To make good the claim under this exception it becomes necessary for the pre- emptor to show clearly that the land from which timber has been removed and sold is actually ina Btate for cultivation. If he cannot do this, the law provides a heavy penalty, because it presumes the timber to have been taken fraudulently. We understand that the Canadian regulations relating to crown lands have been interpreted in a similar way, and the same prinoiple is being followed in dealing with Dominion lands in this province.

HARSH MEASURES, Berlin, Feb, 28.âA despatch Irom Strasburg to the Pott announce, that the government has issued orders for the dissolution of the union of the Alsatian choral societies, it being suspected tho union assisted the French league of patriots; also, forbidding French military men to stay in Alsace- Lorraine except on speoial permits,and that societies whose rules forbid the admission- of Germans to their membership or society be dissolved. The same law is considered to deal with French emissaries.' The advocates of offectiveGermsnisation desire the temporary suspension of electoral righta in Alsace-Lorraine, German education in primary schools, and government administration in plsce of municipal councils. The Hanoverscner Courier says: " Alsatians must blame themselves. The elections were to be applicable to their provinces of laws of nhsolute dictatorship. When made to understand that another war with Franco will ba the cumplete ruin of their province, Alsatians perhaps will be ready to vote for German candidates. " On the other hand, the Boer- sen Courier contends that the real conquest of the'province must be the work of a generation, and demands patience. If adds-,. "Their feeling of patriotism to-day ihown toward France will revert to Germany when tho justice of German rule effaces from tho minds of the people the effeots of two centuries of French domination.

Our esteemed cotemporary of the Viotoria Thin seems to find con siderable. consolation in the vote which took place last Friday in the provincial legislature. An appeal was taken from the ruling of the speaker, and by a vote of the house the speaker was sustained on a division of 13 to 11. The Times magnifies the incident into a political crisis, and declares that the conscientious sense of duty which animated Mr. Bole and some other members of the opposition was the only thing that saved the government from defeat, and even then it waB a vory narrow escape. The Times must think its readers are idiots if they are going to swallow such stuff. The question at issue was not one that affected the government at all, but simply the ruling of the chair. In the debate the following opposition members spoke in favor of sustaining the chair: Messrs. Beaven, Bole, Grant, Semlin, and McLeese. These are the men whose "conscientious sense of duty saved the government." Alas, poor governmentl Another Daniel. We must ask our local cotemporary to excuse us for passing by unnoticed hiB leading article of last Wednesday wherein he undertakes to demolish the pleas upon whioh the Columbian asked for the election of Mr. Trapp in preference to Mr. Ohiaholm. The article did not escape our observation, but other matters have hitherto claimed our attention, and we propose to say n few words now in reply to our Ohurch-st cotemporary. There are only two questions, says our cotemporary, on which the Columbia*! finds fault with Mr. Chisholmâtho Ohinese labor question and the question of temperance. But, because Mr, Ohisholm appeared before the Ohinese commission and warned it of the danger of permitting unrestricted Chinese immigration, our cotemporary asks its readers to believe he has a perfectly clean record on the Ohinese question. Wo have already pointed out the fallacy of this sort of reasoning, and need not now repeat. It is the convic- tira of most people that any man who is largely interested in the employment of Ohinese is a very unsafe man to entrust, with the representation of this 'district in the house of commons at a time when the question ot Ohinese restriction is almost sure to be brought forward. Turning to thejtemperance question our cotemporary says Mr. Ohisholm "has clearly followed in the sti of Mr. Foster and Mr. Blake," i with this he drops the subject But the statement is utterly at variance with the facts. The Hon. Mr. Foster has for years been not only a total abstainer, but a very active and successful worker in the temperance cause. Hon. Mr. Blake has also been for years (fourteen years we believe) a total abstainer, and hat publicly declared that he stands ready to co-operate heartily with any person, whether political friend or foe, for the accomplishment of the great temperance reform which hai so thoroughly enlisted hiB sympathies. Now what part of Mr. Ohisholm's temperance record justifies the assertion that he "has clearly followed in the steps of Mr. Foster and Mr. Blakef He has followed the employment of saloonkeeper, a business whioh in this age of the world no one can engage in without hindering the cause of temperanoe and moral reform. There is nothing in common between Mr. Ohisholm and these men, and the comparison of our cotemporary is ridioulous. But our cotemporary dost not stop here. Listen: "His high commercial position here, and hit known independence will secure for Um universal respeot at Ottawa." It would be a waste of words to reply to this. The idea of a saloon-keeper from British Oolumbia being received with universal respect et Ottawa because of his "high" commercial position! How many saloon-keepers are there among the pntent members of parliament! When it comet to be learned at the capital that tht man who represents the finest distriot of British Oolumbia owes hit "high" commercial standing to hit saloon, what opinion will inch men at Sir Charles Tup- Bnt, Hon. Mr, Foster, Hon. Edward lake, and the people of the east generally form of British Oolumbia! WiU it not be a shame and a disgrace- forever to thit fair land, now reaching ont itt hands for immigration, and hoping to receive among thot* who oome many of the better SlkmJM â ,' But bur cotemporary says Mr. Trapp would he a failure as a rspirtBsa-Utive, and why! Beoause he "it an Englishman, and like all hit uoTUitrTnrtn, it incapable of com j^eod^Oanadianpotitics.'' Well, wt iB-mota thii Mttlts it, and Itavtt ntth mow to be taid. Mr. Trapp hat tpent the best of his Â«an in Canada, and nbout ten of thÂ«m in thit provinct; bnt ht it an " an, and, therefore, he is in- asroTiaE.

G. mhlOto ELECTORS New Westminster District, GENTLEMEN:âI have already an* noueeil myself as n eiimlUlate for the sont miule vacant hy tlie death of our late representative, nnd as no election has taken plnee to till that vacancy. I now oiler my- nelt at this, the General Election. As it ls my Intention to visit and hold public meetings In every settlement of tho dlslrlet. before election day, I Will merely In this address refer to the different subjects that aro vltnl to our interests ns a district and province, which will be discussed at length on the public platform, when I hope all aspirants for the honor of representing you in the Commons will be present and take pan In the discussion, of which due notice will bo given. The foi lowing are some ofthe most important questions that will have my serious consideration: Tke Improvement ofthe Navigation of Fraser Kiver.â'i'ho New Westminster Board of Trade hnvo, with the assistance of our lato representative, been successful In obtaining a small appropriation. <pr this purpose, which lit* been nxlpended the past fall; and It -will be tho duty of your representative to secure such annual grants as will suffice to complete this lm* tiortant work, which will enable ships of he heaviest draught to navigate the Frasor river at all stages of the tide, and all seasons of the yenr. MqnatferH' Ultima.-With reference to this matter there has been gross neglect on the pnrt of tlie Dominion Government, and I am of tho opinion that those settlers who located iheff'land under instructions from what ls known as Mr, Trutch's pamphlet, should secure tho titlo thereto froe of chunreâtuul the fact that settlers havo been unable ti secure, their titles has noted very detrimentally to the interests of tlie province generally, and (if elected) I will be unceasing In my efforts to secure the adjustment of every claim in the district. Hallway Bombo-Another very Important matter in connection with our district ls railway connection with our neigh* hors south of the line, Several charters to connect this city nnd district with the American system of railways have been granted by our local legislature, but were unfortunately disallowed by the Dominion Government (doubtless through the Influenco of the C, P. R.) Tho position hitherto held by the Dominion House Is now untenable, und the monopoly olause of the C. P. H. will have to be dono away with. Should this bo done thore Is no reason why railway construction should not commence ln the near future, as our American cousins are ready and willing to commence work as soon as the way Is opon. I need only say that I shall uso iny best endeavors to obtain snid railway connection and tho abolition of the monopoly clause, â allway Â«rlevances.-Tlio C. P. it have maintained excessive rates for local traflic In this provinco nnd to points as far east as Winnipeg. This is not as lt should be, and Is one of tho reasons why that great corporation should bo taught that it Is not the only powor in tho lund, but that lt nJuKt bo mado mil-servient to the Interests of the people. Telegraphs and Hallways,âI nm of tbe opinion that all telegraphs mid railways should be owned and operated by the government ln tho Interests of the people, as Is partially the caso In England, Germany and elsewhere, ami slmllfif elected) do all I. can to bring about this very de sirable state of things, The Malls,âI Bhall use my to havo all settlements on the south side of iho river supplied regularly with their malls from Ladner's Landing by way of the Grand Trunk road to Chilliwhack nnd any other places nntnlready supplied with mall accommodation. Ilie Tcuiperoiirc Qui-*!Ion.âUpon this question I feel very warmly nnd sympathize most heartily with all those who are anxious to do awny with tho evils caused bv the liquor traffic nnd shall (If elected) five my hearty support to any measures hat may bo Introduced to advance tills vory desirable object, The Chlnene Qaestlan.-Wltb rt>gurd to to tliis question, I consider it nn unmixed evil, yet at tho samo time one of the hard- problems that this nation hns to deal wllh. I deem It of vital Importance that our Legislatures, both Federal and Provincial, should do their utmost todlscour- age this trallic, nnd at tbo same time use all leoal means in their power to get rid of thoscl'hinnmci. who nre already amongst us, The last question that I wish to bring before you is that of Independence, i again relterat" tlie statement made by myself ln the papersâ "In Pamirs, I am and will be thar- unghly Independent" Several of the H,C. pnpers liavo takon up this statement and hnvo snid a great many uncomplimentary things'concerning mo, such as " being on tho fence,*' " a Grit in dl8K"lac,*' and so forth. I therefore deem It necessary to explain what I mean by being thoroughly Independent, loon- sliler any member sent to Ottawa from this Province pledged tosiipport any particular party has allowed himself to bo fettered. Tho greatest evils which threaten the use fulness of tho governments of the United States and Ciuuidn spring from phrty poll* tics, and In the United States at the last Eresidential election a number of tbe est men of both parties voted Independently, and for what they considered the best Interests of tho country regardless of party, As an Independent I-mul I endeavor to voto and aot (if elected). Hist, In the Interests of my constituents; secondly, in the Interests of the province, and faslly for tbe general good of tho Dominion, pledging myself neither to Grit nor Tory, but claiming tho right as a free born British Subject to use my Influence and vote on the side where I consider your Interests and the interests of the nation Ilo, I take this opportunity of soliciting the vote and Influence of all, nnd while I shall feel vory muoh honored If you elect me as your representative, I trust that lime will prove that your confidence has not been misplaced, I râ-' Yours rantttritriil.v. TRAPP. remaln^tlem^ MSte T, / dwhiati To the Electors ofthe Kleetoral District of Hew WestnlMter. GENTLEMEN:*âShortly after the lamented death of onr late Representative, Mr. Homer, I was Solicited by a number of my friends, to allow myielf to be nominated ai a Candidal* for the Representation of tbe District of New Westminster ln the Hodso or Commons of Canada, the personal solicitation of friends, wo* shortly followed by requisitions to numerously signed, by prominent and lnfluenlal Electors of the City and District, tbat I felt It to be my duty to place my services at their disposal. It Is not therefore. Gentlemen, as a Belf-nomlnated candidate, that I ask for your support, but I do so ln response to the request of over four hundred of your number, To many of you, Gentlemen, who bave known me for a long time. It Is unnecessary for me to say, that I am perfectly familiar with the great and varied'resources of tbis Provinoe. My knowledge of its Mining, Fishing, Agricultural and Commercial advantages has been derived from actual experience, and will (If elected) enable me to,place prominently before Parliament, the great resources of this Province, and. tbe means necessary to be employed to aid ln their further development. It Is Impossible, Gentlemen* In an address such as this to do more than allude to some of the questions of Interest and Importance to you. which as yonr representative, I would consider It to be my duty to bring to tbe notice of Parliament. I will, however, enumerate a few matters of great Importance to us all, ln regard to whioh lt will be my earnest endeavour to obtain beneficial legislation. I will endeavour to have removed from the mouth of our noble River, every Impediment to Us free navigation, and nave necessary lighthouses erected. I will endeavor to secure to settlers and squatters an Immediate title to their lauds. This I consider to be a matter not only of Justice, but also of expediency. Heretofore great Injustice has been dene to a valuable and. deserving class of our population, to whom, had Justice been done and facilities hflbrded for acquiring homestead*, the results of their Industry would, ere this, have done much to devei op the agricultural capabilities of this flne district. , I am aware, Gentlemen, that the number of representatives to which eaoh province of the Dominion Is entitled Is based upon population; yet I believe that, owing to exceptional circumstances, Sueh as tbe fact tbat this province contributes to tbe revenue of the Dominion a much larger percentage, according to population, than uny of tho other provinces; and alio to the faot ihat large centres of population are rapidly being formed ln this district- that It Is entitled to a larger, representation in the parliament of the Dominion, and which as a matter of Justice I will endeavor to obtain. I will also endeavour to obtain for the residents of this Distriot better postal facilities, to which they are Justly.entitled. will use my best efforts to secure equit able rates on all railway and telemph "nes, and to have the same fixed bylaw. The Interests of British Columbia de mand tbat every Impediment In the way of constructing railways to our Southern boundary and other portions of this distriot be removed, to aid tn the development of our resources, I will endeavor to have this accomplished, and also to obtain aid for the const ruction of canals aod the Improvement of navigable streams. I will also consider It my duty to render ull possible aid to any legislation which seeks to simplify and render less costly the administration of Justice, especially as between Individuals and corporations. My Ipolltloal platform Is. In the first place, the Interest of British Columbia, which I believe oan be best served by my giving an independent support to the present government, which nos not In the past been unmindful of tbe Interests of British Columbia, and to' whom we are Indebted for the early I completion of the railway,- whioh has brought us Into communication wllh the Eastern Provinces and Europe, and through the agency of which, we will In the near future, be plaoed ln dlreot communication with Australia, China, Japan, nnd the Great Eastern Empire, which must prove to be of incalculable value to this province, and to this district In particular. In conoiuslon, gentlemen, I hnve only to say, that I am prompted by a sincere -u^tr-eWbenoflt this dlstrlet and to aid -la promoting IfS varied Interests, and I ask your support only upon these grounds, itlsmylntentlon to see as many of you previous to the election as time and oir- cumstanceswllliidmlt of In the meantime. I remain. Gentlemen, Vours very truly, dwfeSld DONALD CHISHOLM. â tTOTIOB. NOTICE IS HEREBY OIVEN THAT 80 daya alter dat. w.

I strolled u( the stroet with a friend, ud droppec Into Jim Henderson's offlce. I opened a conversation a. follows: "Hr. Henderson, you will ncolleel that I Mid to you at the Ume ol Squire Jaeboh's death, that the Insurance companies would not pay upon thi Ufa ota suicide?" " Yes, sir," returned Jim, stiffly. "Well, sir,"I continued, "Interested u I was ln this matter, because of thi claim which I hold against tho deceased, I have been carefully looking Into tht muner of his death, assisted by Mr Mott, who hu long known him, aoc we have come to the settled oonolusloi that Mr. Jackson did not die by hh own hand." "Indeed?" said Huderson, more stiffly " Im, air, such is our belief. And I you will permit me I will lay before yot the reasons for our having arrived ai this opinion,' merely calling your attention to the fact that If it can be provei that Squire Jackson wu murdered yoi would no largely the gainer." ." I suppose that my promised wlfr would, in that case, receive tfie Insurance, after paying thc debt which you hold," uid Jim, lit a cold voice. " Exactly, sir," I returned. "Andlr euch esse you would doubtless be willing to pay for such proof?" "well, sir," said Henderson, scornfully, "I presume that I should, for Hum Jeer son's sake. Btate your terms." "If;we oan satisfactorily prove this fact," said I, soothingly, "so that the Insurance companies can be induced to pay, I Should expect you to settle In full the debt which I represent, ud to prosont Mr. Mott ud myMlf with the sum ot five thousand dollars each." Jim hesitated a moment Then he replied: " The terms are high, but I accept." "Uood!" said I, "ud now for the {iroof. My friend has collected most of t, and haB it in tabular font-, Hr. Mott, will you read what you have?" Mr. Mott produced his tablets ud proceeded to read as follows: " nm. Mr. Jackson had no monomania nor disappointment to Induce the idea of self destruction.

Drummbk.â The.Toronto Telegram furnishes the following statement of Thomas Soott, of Nanaimo, while in conversation with one of its reporters recently: "Do you know, I think tho recent anti-Chinese agitations in the States are going to do Canada a certain amount of good. How! Well, yon see, if China is disposed tb .feel ag- grieved at the manifestation of anti-" Mongolian sentiment in the States, her merchants lmvo an excellent opportunity of retaliating by exerting themselves to aid the Canadian Pacific; railway in its competition with tho American transcontinental lines. Aa there ia aiso a difference of about 1,000 miles in favor of tho Canadian line, I think that it is not at all improbable that the Americans will be rather sorry for the fantastic littlo amusement to whioh they treated John Chinaman. Although tho almond-eyed celestial is opposed to the emigration of his countrymen to the States, he has enough of the old Adam in him to resent what he regards .as ah insult, and it cannot be denied that he has some grounds for considering himself intuited. He has enough sense to see -that if you want to insult the average Yankee you must strike straight at his pocket, and that ia where he is suro to aim for if he does deoide to take rovengo. But thon the Chinee hns a good eye to hia own pooket, and as he makes about four times as much among the " Melican" as he would at home, the probabilities nre that wo will not see the Union Pacific under a celestial boycott. â¢ â i What Toronto's well-known Good Samaritan says: 1 have been troubled with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint for over 20 years, and have tried many remedies, nut never found an article that has done me as much good as Northrop & Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure.

Special Telegram, , Victoria, Marcli 1.âThe legislature yeBterday passed a bill in relation to the Chinese outrages at Vancouver, which empowers tho governor to appoint any number of oiHtaliles, who shall have authority to uct within the municipal limits of Vancouver and the electoral district ot Now Wei.titiini.er. They shall be continued in employment aa long as tho governor may see tit, and discharge their duties within the municipal limits of Vancouver, unless otherwise directed by a stipendiary magistrate of the province. The constables are to be under orders of any stipandiary magistrate in the prov ihce. They will be paid $2.50 a dav and Â§1 a day for board. Money will be advanced in tho first instanco out of tho consolidated revenue of the province. The amount paid shall be a debt due from Vancouver, and Bhall form a charge upon all revenues of Baid city during the timo any stipendiary magistrate acts within the limits of vancouvor. The powers and authorities of all other - magistrates and -justices of tho peaco, including the mayor, shall be absolutely suspended, except for the purpose of calling out the militia. The gaol and lock-up of the city are to be under control of the provincial superintendent of police. The cost of maintaining the gaol and prisoners is to bo paid, by the city of Vancouver. Any person having charge of gaols, refusing to deliver up kdys, will be imprisoned six months at New Westminster, with hard labor. Municipal constables shall obey the directions of any stipendiary magistrate for the province, ulso of tho su* pcrintendent of polioe. The powers of this act may be exercised as often as the governol1 may deem expedient. The bill, of which the foregoing is a summary, was passed through all its stages in about two houre yesterday, and* took effect immediately. Under authority of it we learn that- the superintendent, of provincial polico will come to Vancouver to-morrow with about 40 special constables for the purpose of protecting the Ohinese. If this force is not sufficient, the gov* ernor will appoint as many more as may be doomed necessary. These men will take charge of the city and remain as long na their presenco may be required. Vancouver is in a stato of great excitement over this unexpected action, but it is not probnblo that any excesses will be committed. PROVINGIAL LECISLATURf.

Council then adjourned. - Friday, Feb. 25. Mr. Ladner. moved that the Alaska Boundary commission be asked to deal with Point Roberts, a small point of American territory which cannot bo reached by land, except through British Columbia, tho mover said tliia point of land had already been the scene of two murders, and there were no officers there and no law. Tho matter had been brought before Sir John Macdonald when he was here, nnd ho promised to liave it looked after whenever it was brought officially beforo him. Tho speaker -gave his decision on a point Of order raised by the introduction of a bill by Mr. T. Davie to amend tho Sumas Dyking act. Tho decision was that no private member could introduce a bill dealing with private interests without going through the usual procedure of a private bill. This decision was appealed against, but was sustained on a vote of 13 to 11. Hon, Mr. Robson moved the second reading of the Sumas dyking amendment bill. He said the bill was a short one and the subject of its provisions were already bo well understood by honorable members that it would bo unnecessary for him to occupy the timo of the house to any considerable extent. It was. proposed only to deal with such of the lands covered by tlie act of 1878 as have not been in any way affected bythe Matsqui dyke. These lands, proposed to be released by .the present. measure, were in the. Sumas and Chilliwhack settlement and somo of them on tlie opposite side of the Fraser river. These lands have been for tho most part settled upon and considerable improvements have been, mude; but the Bottlers being unable to obtain a title, naturally feel uneasy, and their efforts to create comfortable homesteads are to a great part paralyzed. The present condition is most cruel and unjuBt to the settlers nnd injurious to the best interests of the country, and he felt, confident every honorable member would agree with hiin that the sooner it was remedied the better, and the object of the bill waB to place the provincial government in a position to administer theso lands and issue patents at once to every bona lido occupant. In, explanation of the suspending clause, ho said that the Dominion government had claimed that, upon the repeal of the act, these lands would go to thom. On the other hand, the provincial govornment contended that the lands would revert to the province; and it was to afford an opportunity to have this matter arranged between the twp governments that tho suspending elnuse was put in Ho might state thut the Dominion government liad in some measure already conceded tho point; and this matter, together with some others, would reeoive the attention of tlie government as soon as the house wus prorogued, and he felt confident of a satisfactory solution. He felt quite sure that the measure would commend itself to the judgment of every honorable member, as it trenched upon no private rights, while it would release a-lnrge and deserving body of settlers from a very great grievance, and put fin end to a stato of things most injurious to that important district, Mr. Theo. Davie, Mr: McLeese, nnd Mr. Allen also spoke in favor of the bill, which passed its second reading. Mr. Allen moved the second reading of. a bill for the better protection of cattle ranges, Ho explained that the object of. the bill waB to legalize commons 5 miles in extent instead of 5 square miles. It was also intended to prevent sheep and swine running over tho ranges, Mr. Higgins gave nutico of motion to amend the statute and rules of court so ns to ensure efficient notice' in tho case of the sale of property levied on by sheriffs; also, to simplify tho title nnd facilitate the transfer of renl estate.
