Dee. 15, ISSS.\nTho sun shines once more on tho\nroyal city, nfter the fray. Tho dead\nand wounded have beon counted,and\nboth sides declare themselves satisfied. Tbe injunctors\u00E2\u0080\u0094some of thom\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094mako their \"solemn 'davy\" that\nthey never wished to crush the bylaw. This is rcceivod with an incredulous smile by most; but, on\nthe whole, if tbe repentant injunctors really mean it now, thero\nwill be a general handshaking across\nthe bloody chasm, and all will henceforth work together for the city's\ninterests. As we remarked yesterday, the city may fairly be congratulated on the outcome of the whole\naffair. The setting aside of the particular method of dealing with\nthe debentures\u00E2\u0080\u0094a method whioh\n'received the sanction, co-operation,\nand approval of our best citizens,\nand including the vast majority of\nthoso interested, demonstrated by\npublic expression\u00E2\u0080\u0094will prove a\ntemporary inoonvenience and delay,\nbut nothing more. The integrity of\nthe Westminster Southern Railway\nenterprise, which was threatened,\nhas been preserved.and Westminster\nrejoices.\nWe print to-day another communication from \"Justice.\" The\nsignature would not be necessary to\nidentify the screed as from the same\npen that produced the effusion\nheaded \"Half-a-Dozen Questions,\"\nin our issue of Wednesday evening.\nTho same begging of questions ; the\nsame libellous inuendoes; the same\ngeneral irrelevancy; and the same,\nbut in a greater degree, showing of\nthe hand\u00E2\u0080\u0094or, rather, the cloven\nfoot, in this last production. We\nreiterate what wo said before, that\n\"the question of reconsidering tbo\naction of the city council and tho\nalmost unanimous vote of the ratepayers is not a live one,\" and add\nthat it is now moro dead than evor,\nand therefore decline to follow our\ncorrespondent in his buzzard-like exploits amongst carrion. If that sort\nof thing suits our correspondent, we\ncommiserate his taste, that's all;\nbut we dont like \"dead things\" ourselves, and don't intend to inflict\nthem upon our readers. Trying to\nmake a point against us for not taking up his six questions in order\n(which we have already answered),\n\"Justice\" says : \"All that is involved in my six questions is strictly\nto the point.\" Here is a sample\nquestion:\n4. If the arrangement ia illegal, and Is\nsimply a trap set by some adventurous\nland boomers and ahrewd Yankee speculators, ia it not well for all loyal citizens\nto try to get rid of tho whole business,\nand start anew in a straightforward\nmanner with a company ot undoubted\nstanding and ability?\nWhen our correspondent has proved\nthese sweeping and libellous assumptions, and proceedings are taken by\n\"all loyal citizens to get rid of the\nwholo business,\" then will our correspondent's \"dead thing\" be \"alive\"\nand The Columbian will deal with\nit on its merits. Our correspondent\nmust be an injnnctor of the injunctors, and something to boot; for the\nreal injunctors\u00E2\u0080\u0094those who have had\ntho manliness to figure before the\npublic as such\u00E2\u0080\u0094profess to be satisfied with the setting aside of the\n\"debentures trust\" resolution, Our\npompous und fulminating \"Justice,\"\nhowever (save the mark), wants to\nfall upon both bylaws and \"crush\nthem like vipers\" \u00E2\u0080\u0094\"get rid of\nthe whole business.\" \"Justice\"\nsays, vain - gloriously, that he\namongst others, will not shrink\nfrom the duty he owes to his\nfellow-citizens. Strange as it may\nappear, though, \"Justioe\" ' does\nshrink most unaccountably, from letting his dear \"fellow-citizens\" know\nwho their great. deliverer and\nmighty windy champion is. Before\nhaving \"Justice's\" communication\nof to-day put in type, we waited\nupon him and told him that, considering the nature of his effusion,\nwe thought it would be more manly\nin him to sign his own proper name\nat the foot of the letter, Ho, however, definitely refused to do so, and\nwe stated that we would publish\nhis communication without it,whioh\nwe bave dono\u00E2\u0080\u0094for what it is\nworth (t) Our correspondent's\nstrictures on journalism are just\nworth as much as bis other remarks,\nand his impudent threat against the\neditor of this paper\u00E2\u0080\u0094coupled with\nhis refusal to appear before the\npublio aa the author of the whole\nscreed- reminds us veiy foroibly of\nthetactics pursued by heof the \"Black\nHand.\" \"Justice\" is possibly \"ono\nof the friends\" who sent us a private\nthnattning letter soma months ago,\nbeenem w. took a certain coune on\ntheSonthern Railway matter. We\nhave that letter yet \"Eiderdown\nand asphaltum'' would make a very\nsoft plaster for thou who resort to\nsuoh tricks, although we never\nthroateiwd nor would we advise any\nsuoh procedure. \"Justice\" and\neveryone elsi* will fflid that The\nOoloiiwah Ii neither to be\nwheedled nor bdldozed from what it\noonsiden to be its duty in the public\nIntereats.\nThe News agrees with us that\nthere are good reasons why Vancouver should not grant a bonus to\na flouring mill, but fails to see anything in the case of Westminster\nthat makes tho condition of things\ndifferent. We thought wo had indicated the difference in the article\nto whioh our cotemporary refers;\nbut we think, perhaps.that by going\nmore into particulars we can make\nout a pretty good case for Westminster, either separately, or in conjunction with three or four of the\ndistrict municipalities (tho latter\npreferably), bonusing a flouring mill\nand elevator at this city, whatever\nmay be thought as to the advisability of Vancouver taking such a\ncourse. Tho News will please make\na note of the fact, which it appears\nto havo overlooked in some portions\nof its article, that the establishment\nwo considered it advisable to bonus\nshould \"be of sufficient capacity and\nodiciency to work to the utmost advantage, and Jirst-class in every respect'; and such a mill, we beliovo\ntho city nnd rural municipalities,\nworking togethor, can appreciably\nassist, to their own joint and several\nadvantage besides. Wo did, it is\ntrue, make uso of the expression,\n\"a small bonus,\" and comparatively\nsmall it might be, and yot bo more\nthan \"a mere bagatelle towards tho\ncost of a really first-class mill.\" Our\ncotemporary appears to undervalue,\ntoo, tho advantago which such an\nestablishment as we proposed must\nbe to the city where it is situated,\nespecially if that city happens to be\nthe central and distributing point\nfor a district like Westminster\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe garden of the province\u00E2\u0080\u0094having\neasy access by land and water with\nevery part of the tributary district,\nand unrivalled and constantly increasing means of communication\nwith the outside world. The number of hands employed immediately\nin the mill, whatever it > might be\n(the News only guesses at it at the\nbest, and we should settle that and\nother points definitely before offering any fixed bonus), would not be\nthe only advantage, by long odds,\naccruing to the city and district in\nwhich tho mill, &c, was located,and\nof this fact the News must be perfectly aware. Indeed, feeling convinced that it cannot plead ignorance for the argument which it has\nsot up, that Westminster, as well as\nVancouver, should not bonus a flouring mill, we can hardly givo our\ncotemporary credit for giving disinterested advice to this city on the\nsubject. We do not insist that\nsuch is the fact, but it appears to\nus that our cotemporary must rest\non one prong or another of a three-\nhorned dilemma; he has treated the\nsubject either ignorantly, carelessly,\nor interestedly. We are perfectly\nsatisfied at any rate, however it\nwould work in Vancouver, that a\n\"really first-class mill,\" with storehouses, elevators, Ae., would, in its\nconstruction, and subsequent maintenance (if run \"to the most advantage,\" and business instinct and\nforesight should be able to insure\nthat beforehand), prove an aggregate\nadvantage to Westminster, compared to which the item of the number of hands employed in the mill\nitself is \"a mere bagatelle.\" To\nbriefly touch npon the advantages\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nwhich must be obvious\u00E2\u0080\u0094a considerable traffic and commerce, local,\nprovincial, and even foreign, would\nnecessarily be developed and centre\nat this city as a result of the common operations of the mill; agriculture throughout the district and\nprovince would receive a stimulus,\nwhich would react favorably upon\nthis city at once; and the farming\ncommunities would be sttracted.eveh\nmore than at present, and bound to\nthis, their natural centre, to the\nmutual benefit of both\u00E2\u0080\u0094and the\nNews will admit that there is no\nsuch sure foundaiton upon which to\nbuild a city as ajthriving, prosperous\nand tributary agricultural environment. If our cotemporary is judging\nWestminster by Vancouver,however,\noverlooking our particular advantages in the premises, his conclusion\nis not so strange; for a flouring\nmill at that place would be seriously\nhandicapped in comparison, on account of difficulties of aocess from\nthe agricultural centres of the district particularly. With regard to\nany foreign trade that might be\ndone, Westminster is equally, if not\nbetter circumstanced to handle that\nto advantage, We would advise\nour future councillors to give this\nsubject ofa flouring mill their best\nstudy, before they take any one's\nword\u00E2\u0080\u0094not even that of the News\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthat \"therein little value to be\nderived from such an industry.\"\nChildren Cryfor Pitcher's Castoria\nft'\nlain\n35TOTIO*S.\nOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT\nIslatlve Assembly of the Provinco\t\ntlsb Colnmbla at Its next session for an\nAct to amend \"The Coqnltlam Water\nWorks Company's xct of Incorporation\"\nby extendi**** the time for completing said\nworks ond other amendments.\nCORBOULD A McCOM,,\nSolicitors for Applicants.\nDated 3rd day of December, A.

The com*\nilaint was entered against him, but, as\ne seemed to be able to get about, he\nras released on his recognisance and\nent home in a hack, which he paid for\nrith great alacrity. When his case came\nip in Court the only witnesses summened\no prove his condition were tbo police-\nnan and the old family servant of tho\nraised, a faithful and devoted retainer.\nThe policeman had given his testimony, which waa unqualifiedly to the\nact of the old gentleman's Intoxication,\n'hen the old servant was called to the\ntend. There was a mingled expression\nf indignation and determination on his\nountenance. He testified flatly,tothe\nurprise of the Court-room, tbat the old\ntan waa sober when he came home,\n'he Prosecuting Attorney proceeded to\nuestlon.\n\"You say that Ur,-\u00E2\u0080\u0094tm Holier when\nie came home?\" -,\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\"Yes, air \"\n, \"Dldhemtobeaaloner'\n\"Did you put him to bed?\".\n\"Ye*, sir.\"\n; \"And ho was perfectly sober?\"\n'\"Ye*,-dr.\" ^\n\"What did he say when 70a put hlm\nobed?\"\nf^'Ho said, \"Good nifjM.\"' \"\n[\"Anything else?\"\n\"He said us how I wns to call him\niarly.\"\n\"Anythlnkelser'J**\"\"\"\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"Yes, sir.\"\n\"What was It?

My\nriend. who is peculiarly open to theso\nppeals, much to tho detriment of his\nuree, gave the fellow all he had about\nim in change, ten cents, telling him that\ni'ould at all events keep him from starv-\nog. Seizing the mony, the man started\nfl, and was Joined by a companion who\nad beon watching developments from a\nhort distance, nnd [the two made off at\nround pace in earnest consultation, nnd\nrere followed out of curiosity by my\nlend. The two entered a saloon whero\nihlsky is retailed at ten cents a glass,\nud the first man, throning down hia\nline, called for whisky strajglit. Seising\nie bottle, he poured out a level tumbler*\nil, much to tne secret indignation of tho\nartender, who muttered something\nbout \"taking a bath.\" Raising the glass\n> his lips, tho fellow drank half the con-\nants, when, suddenly stopping with a\n10k of disguBt, ho said, \"what's tho mat-\nsr with, this whisky anyhow ?\" \"Naw-\n__.',\" replied the knight ol the white\nbron and the Alaska diamond head-\nera*, \"you must he off yer base j there\nIn't nnwthin' the matter with it.\"\n.\"Let mo taste it,\" said the friend, and\niking the glass he drained It to tho\nrega. \"I don't see nothing the matter\nrltn it.\" \"Well, I may be wrong,\" said\nie other, and the two wero leaving tflo\n.loon when tho bartender, whose anger\nad changed into admiration, said:\nLook here, you two chaps, if ever you\nre hard up tor a drink, come in hero\nnd I'll stand treat. I've keen in tho\nusiness for ten years and thought 1\nnew all the ropes, hut this takes tho\nike.\" - My friend was of the same\npinion, and said if ho had another dime\n1 his pocket he would have bestowed it\n1 the ingenious rogues. ...... .\nH. tad to 01r.;lt Up.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2Patiently the eat and waited for his\nolfalL Hia footfall was busy filling\nigagements at other points.

I was pleased to notice\nthat you promised to answer tlio six questions iu tlie communication I sent you,\nbecause Z believe a reply to thorn is tlie\nonly means you havoof justifying, iu the\nleant degree, the causo you represent,\nand tho only way you can givo a reason\nfor the abuse that has been lavished on\nthe injunctors, and those who sympathize\nwith tliem. But as yon now refuse to do\nwhat you promised, and to give information which many of our citizens and\nratepayers are anxious to obtain, I will\nmeet you on your own ground, (barring\nthe scurrility), and make a fow statements, which I challenge you or any of\nyour loquacious contributors to disprove.\n1. You say that \"tho question ot reconsidering the action of the city council\nand tbo almost unanimous vote of the\nratepayers is not a live ono.\" Now, I\nemphatically deny this, because any\naction that is illegal and tends to fraud,\ngives rise to a \"Uve\" issue, and ono that\nhas a right to live till tbo wrong tbat\ncalled it into life is righted, and there*\nfore all that ia involved in my six questions Is strictly to tho point,\n2. Even if 206 ratepayers should vote\nfor a scheme that is illegal and bas a\nsemblance of crookedness, and one ratepayer vote against it, that one is under\nno obligation to submit to the will of the\n260, nay it may bo his duty to resist it.\nThe parliament and the King of England\ncould not make Hampden consent to pay\n40 shillings of illetjal ship money, and\nevery honest man justifies his refusal, as\ntho citizens of .New Westminster, ere\nlong, will justify the patriotic injunctors\nnntf tiiuii fiiciiAr, Thftrnfore. neither\nthe enthusiastic resolution of tho 14th\nult., nor the disapproval of tho whole\nworld is a \"signal rebuke\" to men who\nstand upon principle and right.\n3. Although at first the injunctors may havo only thought of pre*\nventing the effect of Mr. Shilo's\ndangerous resolution, yet if on invos*\ntigation they found the wholo arrange*\nment rotten to the core, they have a riant\nto attack and quash tho by-law or bylaws, yes to crush them liko vipers, and\nthereby save the city from irreparable\ninjury.\n4. In this fume tho injunctors have no\n\"hand\" that they wish to conceal; for\nthoy hold all the trumps except tho knave,\nand that card is not likely to win a trick.\n5 So long as the Southern Railway\nscheme remains as It is, a dangerous trap\nto the future welfare of the oity, the injunctors and other sensible people who are\ndeeply interested in tho prosperity of the\nplace will continue their hostility to it;\noor sball)any loud-mouthed windy threats\nof ''eiderdown and asphaltum\" causo\nthorn to shrink from tho duty they owe\nto themselves and their fellow citizens.\nIt ill becomes the inexperienced and those\nhavingno vested rightsin the place to prate\nabout and dictate to some of tho heaviest taxpayers as to how they should act\nin this railway question. Wc are all\nanxious to havo tno Southern Bailway\nbuilt and tho 8150,000 bonus expended\non the works specified in tbo by-laws,\nnamely, steam ferry and workshops, and\nno other.\nYour delicate!) worded reference to\n\"tar and feathers\" is a disgrace to journalism.

Threatened with mob law for\ndoing our duty and exercising our rights\nas oitizens, God help the city if it has\ncome to this pass.
