Current Events nnd Opinions. British Oolumbia hus oome to the front since tho practical completion of thn Onnndiun Pacific lUiUny fully as rapidly as her well wishers had confidently predicted. Enough is known already respecting the province to arouse keen interest in it amongst intending emigrants, and to foster tho belief thnt its attractions are such as to draw to it a fair proportion of the surplus capital and labor of the old world. Bnt further information of a more detailed diameter is being daily sought, und efforts aro being promptly made to supply it. Mossrs. All- sop & Mason, of London and Victoria (British Columbia)', have issued a pamphlet by which useful work in this direction will doubtless be dono. The writers aim at calling attention to tho immense undeveloped wealth of the province, und its great importance to tho commerce of the world. Hence they briefly, but clearly indicate the variety and commercial value of its lish, timber, and mineral resources; its scenic attractions; and tho advantages it offers as a place of resort for health or recreation. They specially emphasize the opportunities which are now afforded of ndvuntngeously investing in the province the capital wliich, to quote the pamphlet, "ul- wnys appears in England in excess of doninud." Writing upon the strength of u business experience in British Columbia, whicli extends over a period of twenty-three years, Messrs. Allsop it Mason point out the modes of investment which can be specially recommended, and the information they are able to furnish will doubtless bo sought for both by capitalists and emigrants interested in a province, than which Lord Lorne declared "there was no fairer lnnd in the world." — Cantuli;n Gazette. British Columbian. Jor §tlt or fo f ent. VOLUME 30 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, SATURDAY, JULY 3, 188G. NUMBER 1 The clear, lucid and exhaustive explanation given by Mr. II. Duns- ijt|; muir in his able speeches in this Ifl city nnd nt Wellington, must havo convinced overy reasonable thinking mnn that his connection with tho procuring and carrying out of tho contract for the construction of tho Island railway wus meritorious, and should not hnvo brought down on hiin the condomimtion of liis fel low residents in the oity of Niiimi- mo. Even that arch-agitator—- O'Hrian — who was the principal central figure of that agitation, admitted publicly ut the meetings hold **,, in this city and Wellington that f Mr. Dunsmuir had acted iu a straightforward, conscientious, and commendable manner in obtaining this railway charter and thus protecting his own interests nnd the interests of tho peoplo of this district. The two speeches recently delivered by Mr. Dunsmuir is the first explanation thnt the peoplo of this provinco hnvo received from him of - his connection with the railway negotiations, and it is safe to suy thut the expliinntiou is deemed most satisfactory by almost the entire people. Even the most bitter oppononts of the sottlonient act, after hearing the lucid exphina tion suy that it places Mr. Dunsmuir in a much more favorable light, and are willing to give liim due praise for his energy, enterprise and shrewdness in carrying out such an undertaking. Now that more light has been thrown on the subject the people seo the risk they ran from strangers getting control of those lunds, who would of necessity havo been compelled to opon up mines at a distanco from Nanai- ■nio and thus depreciate the value I of property and lessen thc chances for work in this city nnd adjacent districts. True it is that in doing this Mr. Dunsmuir protected his own interests, but thut protection extended to the Vancouver Coul JL Company and overy owner of prop- fa1 erty in Nnnuinio city nnd district. V' Wo publish au outline of his speech r in tliis issuo and our renders can • therefore seo tho explanation given £ and form their own conclusions.— £ Nnnaimo Free Press. For some time past the Fair V Traders and otlicr advocates of I protection have hade the British L farmer compare his own bad for- fi tune with that of the agriculturists I, of tho United States, whose pro- i ducts uro admitted duty free, and Bjwho prospor under protection. Free R'trnders have all along replied—lirst, j' thnt tho farmers of the United [i States woro seconded by oxtraordi- linnry natural advantages which tho y English farmer lacked; und next, r that, even with these, tho dny must .' como when the American farmer, . saddled witli tho heavy duties lovied ! on imported goods in the interest of .■ the maunufneturor, must give wuy in tho race, and find himself being gradually edged out of the European markets. This is now coming to puss, and a good deal sooner than most people expected. An interesting consular report, hy Sir Sackville West, states that the imports and exports of the United States for 1886 show a decrease of twenty millions sterling upon the shipping trado of the previous year. This fulling off is due, not so much to the drop in agricultural prices as to tho diversion of the trade in bread- stuffs into new channels. India is as surely superseding Amerioa as the granary of the world as America supplanted Russia. At the same time, Egypt is gradually depriving the Southern planter bt hit monopoly in cotton. Five or six million aeres in Egppt are under cotton til- lage, and India is also a contributor to this market as -well as that for oom. Freo from the trammels of a protective tariff whioh unnaturally increases the price of machinery and forces up wages, the Indian ryots and Egyptian fellahs nre beating the Americans in their own market, and . before our transatlantic kinsmen have fully woke up to the advantages of free trade, we may see such a diversion of trade from the west to tho cast as will astonish superficial observers, but which cannot ! fail to benefit the whole world, and first und chiefly the countries which were wise enough early to perceive the folly of protection, and had courage enough to disregard the prophets of evil who sought to make them retrace their steps.—London Times mid Echo.

The following quotation ia from this letter:-- "The cosmopolitan character of secret societies, and that of tho Knighta of Labor in particular, necessarily exposes many of tlieir members to execute the orders of a council residing in a foreign country, whioh council at a givon time may nut only have interests nt variance with those of the government to which itn members owe allegiance, nnd may even be at war with God. For theso and other reasons the church could nut consistently tolerate tho organization or approve of the means resorted to in order to attain thu dusirod end. "The council also deemed it prudent, in the interest of the church and Christianity, to consider the secret nima of the promoters of Freemasonry, and to warn tho adherents ot the Catholic church against joining such organizations, and especially thu Knights of Labor, on tho pain of excommunication," In another section of the pastoral letter is contained a quotation from Leo Foxill, of France, who was a prominent member of the Masons of old France till last summer. He thinks Masonry is a gro'tesime imitation of Catholicism, and has its rites, but its promoters dosiro to have their own cer« monies apart from the teachings of the priests of Ond, and desire to extinguish nnd put out of existence the teachings uf the Catholic faith. rjOKBOtll.D, MM Oil a ATKINSON, BARRISTERS, SOLICITORS, ETC.

London, Juno -iU.—Lord Randolph Churchill opened his campaign at Pad* dington to-night in a two hours' speech. Tho Iinll.wns crowded with au enthusiastic audience. Lord. Randolph defended his election address, which has beeu so much criticized. Every word of it, ho said, was gospel truth. He sat down to write with a resolution to tell tho truth and shame tho devil. Mr. Gladstone's sehome, he continued, placed Uie government in the hands of the Catholic Celtic peasantry, under tiio control of Ainci-iuan adventurers aud an unscrupulous fanatical priesthood. He had nothing to say to the American dynamite and dagger faction, but thoy offer old England a challenge. Our prisons are largo ami rope is cheap, and we hive plenty of amateur hangmen, ho declared, and for the first victim of dynamite or the dagger we have scores of avengera. When the lirst Englishman falls the lives and porsons of dynamiters, and their allies, will ho placed in the mercy " jBw- Ho present struggle was a struggle of the Uritish and Irish democracies against the class of landlords, it had not been aud could not bo denied, he continued, that Lord Carnarvon agreed with hint as to tho main lino ur whieh autonomy should he granted to Ireland; but all that was tho matter with Lord Carnarvon was that lie could not agree to the adoption of Mr. Gladstone's bill, which nobodv denied.

HaltmUy Horulim, July 3, IH8U. ■,——M-—^—- -~SS I "--g In ita last issue our local cotemporary repeatp the silly statement that the provincial secretary is now a Victorian, and adds that lie has been Belling his lots in New Westminster city and district as rapidly as he can. "We iu*e authorized by the provincial secretary to say tlint it is absolutely untrue that he has leen disposing of liis property hero. Since he entered the government he has sold no property, and now owns a considerable amount both in the eity and district. This is another campaign lib for the organ. At the provinoial secretary's meeting at Vancouver, on Wcdnes day last, Mr. Powers, a disappointed land speculator, asserted that the land scrip issued in payment for tho Eagle Pass wagon road could be applied on the choicest land in any part of the province. Tlie provincial secretary denied this, and stated that the application of thc scrip was restricted to certain districts j but Mr. Powers reiterated bis statement. By reference to the Act, it will be found lhat the provincial secretary was quite correct, and that the scrip can only be applied on lands in Yale and Kootenay districts. It is to be regretted that the opposition people so often fly in the face of truth. The task of correcting their misrepresentations seems to grow as the campaign progresses. The Somas Dyke. One of the points in the famous opposition poster for this district is the Sumas dyking scheme, and this is the only point we missed in Wed nesday's issue. The bald charge is laid againBt the present government that "They passed the Sumas dyking act." In the lirst place tbis is false, just as every other paragraph in the poster is false. The Sumas dyking act was passed in 1878, under the Elliott administration, ahd the present government is no more responsible for it than the men who issued the poster—and not so much. Mr. McGillivray's name appears on the opposition poster, and he, therefore, become* responsible for it. lie- sides, we aro told th'iil 'life has been- endeavoring at his meetings to make capital against the government on the ground of the Sumas dyking arrangement Of aU men Mr. McGillivray ought to let sleeping dogs alone. It was his influence and recommendation that enabled Mr. Derby to undertake the work and carry it through! Mr. McGillivray does not deal with this question honestly-—indeed, . there is not a single indictment on the opposition manifesto tliat is either honest or true. . . - ■ Peace Kiver Lands. "They' gave away 3-} millions of acres in Peace Kiver whieh is lopped off this province forever, and over which we have no more control than we have over the-land of Ontario." This is from the last issue of the Guardian, and is a fair sample of the stock-in-trade of the opposition. We have already pointed out that the Pence River lands were given in Heu of lands that were bad or had been alienated in the railway belt, and the justice of this arrangement was admitted by the govern- ment of Mr. Beaven. But it is utterly childish to say that these lands are "lopped off" this province or pass beyond our control. The boundaries of the province are not being changed. The lands will remain a part of British Oolumbia ; our laws will prevail the same as ever; and these lands must pay taxes' into the provincial treasury the same ns any other provincial lands. The only change that takes place is tliat the federal government takes the proceeds of the sale of these lands; but these proceeds will probably not pay the cost of the necessary surveys1 British Colun^ bia by this Arrangement avoids the expense of surveying and selling the lands, hut controls and taxes them just the same. The Provincial Capital. Among many -untruthful assertions wade by the opposition organ in this city on Wednesday was ono to tbe effect that if the present gov eminent is sustained one of the first acts of the new house will be to sanction a large expenditure on new parliament buildings at Victoria so that tbe capital will remain permanently them We need hardly say that this statement has no foundation in fact. If the seat of govern- ment wen permanently fixed at •"•-a—1_ am.-, u __-__*- WnWAinaa ara I sufficient to meet the requirements of the country for many years to come, unci such an expenditure now would be entirely premature. But no ono believes that the capital will remain at Victoria, and in view of that fact there could be no possible justification for spending any large sum on the parliament buildings. Mr. Robson holds, and has always held, that the capital should be on the mainland, and that it will eventually come hither; and he has never hesitated, aud will not hesitate, to express and stand by liis opinions when the time for action has anived. When the question of fixing tin; seat of government permanently comes to be disposed of it will be fortunate for the mainland, and for this district in particular, if so staunch and able an advocate of our interests o-jcupics a place in the house and iu thc cabinet. To the City Electors. On Wednesday next it will bu decided who shall represent this city in llm next parliament, and the decision rests entirely with tho eiij -.•lectors. It may be tu many a matt or of comparative indifference which of the two candidates goes to the houst-, but no person ought to vote nr abstain from voting without having tirst carefully considered the questions involved m this contest. IF we regard the num with indifference, we ought nnt t-- regard lightly the principles involved or the consequences that may result from foolishly following a line of action which our judgment could not approve. It has been Bhown very clearly that every cry put forward by the candidates now running in opposition to the government is a misrepresentation uf fact. But these subterfuges have been spread over the country so limn and su persistently that some persons to whom the faota were unknown may have been deceived. After the discussion and exposures already mado, we ask any voter to point out one bf the thirteen articles of the opposition 'campaign poster that haB not been fairly met. If it be true, then, that there is really no substantial ground upon which to base a serious charge against the government, the opposition programme collapses; for that programme docs not offer a policy that may bo accepted in lieu of the policy now prevailing, but rests the hope of the party upon the chances of successfully poisoning (hu minds of the electors ngainst the administration. Those who are now clamoring for office have nothing positive or substantial to offer us, while the administration they seek to defeat has a record whieh we think every unprejudiced person will Bay compares must favorably with that of any of its predecessors. It has certainly removed some of the most serious grievances under which the country was laboring. It haB disposed of the dry-dock un terms most favorable to the province; it has arranged for tho disposal of the railway lands at tho same prices as are charged for provincial lands, the rights of bona tide occupants having been protected. In this contest we have refrained entirely from touching upon the personal characters of the candidates, and have endeavored fairly and honestly to discuss public questions. On the side of the opposition a vory different course has been pursued. Public questions have scarcely been discussed at all, and the bitterness of personal lute has boen conspicuous. The candidates for this city are both well known to tho electors, who are able to judge which of them may most safely be trusted with the representation of the city's interests, * But the contest ought not to be-decided from u consideration of the personal character of the candidates. There aro other considerations which we cannot pasB without losing sight of our public duty. If the government's general policy has been in the interest of the country, and if its conduct has been such aa to inspire confidence, it ought on these grounds to receive support from this city. But if we consider local interests, pure aud simple, we shall Iind still further reasons for supporting the government and its candidates. In our lost issue we pointed out that there had been expended on public works in this ci;-- during the past '3k years $73,' 217, while the previous "government spent only $7,051 during lhe last l\\ years of its existence. We appeal to the mayor and the gentlemen whu have heen members of tho city council during the past 3£ years to aay jrhether the city hus not received most generous treatment at the hands of the government. The corporation has made no reasonable request that has not been freely granted. Everybody acquainted with tho transactions that liir-ve taken place between the eity and the govern ment vill admit that the.government has done a grent deal more for Nuw Westminster than any previous govern ment ever did. There are still pend ing certain matters of great Interest, namely, the disposal ut tlTO nld gilol site, the erection of a new linspital, the ereotion of u now court huuse, and the payment of the $37,500 uf railway bonus. In view of the pant tvans- actions and the f|U(.*fUi'.ni*> Htill unsettled, would it be wise for this oity to elect a man who has pledged hiinaelf to oppose the government which has treated ub so generously and which will have power hereafter to treat us generously or otherwise ? Mr. Bole hat pledged himself to the opposition, and if he is elected in the face of what has been done, this cily need look for no favors frum the provincial secretary or the government. Not long ago it foolishly and without cause burned the provincial secretary in- effigy: if to that insult it adds the folly of selecting an opponent us its representative, we are afraid the prov. sec. will no-lont/ur interest himself in our welfare. The district is almost certain to eleut the full government ticket, and all reports lead to the belief that through-mi tho firovince the government will hnve a arge majority. Let the people of this city consider well the step they are about to take. Wo are entering upon a critical period of our existence. Onmmerct is beginning to flow through new ahah- nels, and now moro than ever this city needs the friendly assistance of those whu may help it to secure a.fair share of tho prosperity that will be suro to oome tn this province. It is nut safe to swap horses while crossing a, stream. ■This city with a representative in opposition would stand a poor chance against three government members from the district nnd Vancouver: with four govermeiit uwmboiR from tlie district and city, working iu harmony, we should expect a great deal. Let the electors consider well these facts. CITY ELECTION. MR. Vf. I>.

S Ah I have already publicly staled I am in opposition to the present govornmont. In as much as I consider they have not satisfactorily discharged the trust reposed in them by the people of this province. I nm opposed to monopoly of all kinds, especially in land. Being in entlresymjmthy with the wants nnd requirements of the workingman, as I regard those who sustain themselves by manual lnbor as the basis on which nil clvlllzedlsociety Is built, every measure calculated to advance the condition and protect tho Interests of tho tolling masses shall have my hearty support. I am in favor of the restriction of Chineso Immigration. , , I am opposed to reckless and lavish expenditure of tho public revenue, us Mich a course must heavily Increase the burden of taxation on tho taxpayer. I think tho time has como whon we should expect to find good ronds In other parts of the iirovlnec ns well ns around Victorin; and tho people of this city and district haven right to oxpoctn grent Improvement In this direction.

I regret that the rallwny 1 anils are not as yot thrown open for settlement, and those M<1 tiers that nave been Induced to squat, tine thev would in a short time be able In obtain Miles to their holdings, have been -ladlvdl-'appolntcdnnd consequently therc have not been thai development and prospciilv which otherwise would have been If titles had been obtained; sn I shall urge forn more acilvo and decisive policy with Iho federal govornment with lhe object of immediately opening up tliese li.nds for settlement,or else lo exchange for lands In the Peace rlvcrcomitry aud allow the railway lands to revert back lotlie Province, I believe that In the Interest of law and onlor antl tire preservation or the morals, happiness and prosperity of the Inhabitants of this 'nlrpmvInce.lhoUqiiorltcenso laws require a thorough overhauling, und also tliat tlie legislature should onnot a local option law fortho majority of the eleeUus in any electoral district to decide whether licenses for the sale of liquors shall lie grauled or nol. The principle has been established and maintained In the other provinces,the United Htatesaml recently In ihe ndjoinlng territory by Its legislature withontadlsBonllng voice, Inm in favor of revising tho voters lists and uf the redistribution of scats; nlso subdividing some districts so as to give more equitable representation to Ihe various Interests, I shall urge the government and legislature to use their influence with the federal government In appropriating nsufficient sum of money annually to employ Iho dredger In deepening, straightening nnd removing snags or any othor obslrue- I Ions In t he Frasor river from Its mouth as far up ns Cheam, which I claim would lessen tho overflow of land and also improve the channel for commercial purposes. Our various Industries will recelvo inv Jealous and careful attention and I will favor the development of onr quarts* ledges by somo materlul encouragement, 1 will not bind m>self to give any stnv- ish support t« nny men or pnrty; tin enlightened, free and liberal policy will always have my support, from whatever source It, mny emanate. In conclusion, If yon do me the honor of electing men* ouo of your representatives, I will trv as far as possible, lo work in harmony with tho ollior members you shall elect. If possible, I purpose visiting every polling division io discuss with you tho various questions lhat ure likely to engage Ihe attention of thu electors, ns It Is not possible lo enter Into general details within tho compass iif an ordinary address.

The Seattle Knights of Labor deny that any socialist doetrine has ever been taught among them, and a resolution was passed expressing entire lack of sympathy with the doctrine exposed by the grand jury in its report. A minister has been lecturing recently on "Suicide; Its Caur-^s rind Cure." We believe he is right, but still it is a pretty impossible task to cure a man of suicide, Nearly alt the cases thus far reported have proved fatal. —Hur- dette. It Is said that smallpox has broken out among the C. P. R. laborers in the Rocky mountains, and that two deaths have already occurred. Some of Ihe men oame from Quebec, and it is believed they brought the disease with thom. In another column Mr, Agassi-*;, one of the opposition candidates, freely ox- presses his opinion of the Beaven administration. Every day brings new proof of the demoralization of the party now seeking to supersede the present government. Hr. Agnssiz writes to say that he "bu challenged Mr. McGillivray to meet bim at a publio meeting at Chilliwhack on the evoning of the 6th inst. Some of the other candidate will be there." The opposition family is extremely united! We tried yesterday to ascertain by telegraph the whereaoouts of the first regular C.P.R. train, but nothing was known of it at Port Moody, Yale or Kamloops. The presumption is that . the train will arrive at Port Moody to-morrow as first arranged. In no other medicinal preparation have the results of the most intelligent study and scientific Inquiry been so steadily and progressively utilized aa in Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

No injurious effects can follow the use of Ayer's Ague Cure in tho treatment of malarial diseases, It contains, lie- sides a specific and unfailing antidote for miasmatic poison, other remedial agents which unite to expel the poisonous humors, purify the system, and leave it in a healthy and relnvigoruted condition.

Doming of the First Train 1 Winnipeg, July 1.—The first through train arrived at the depot oo time. It left Montreal on Monday night. Along the route it received a series of ovations, At 9 o'clock, the hour of its arrival at the station here, there wu an immense multitude gathered, the crowd extending from the Louise bridge to the workshops of the Company, a distance of close upon two miles. It pulled into the station yard at a slow pace. The engine was gaily decorated. The military and other bands, the bells of the city ohurches, and all tho locomotives joined in a chorus such as is not often heard. All the military organizations in the city, the St. Andrew's Society, the mayor and city council, wore in attendance, An address of welcome was read by mayor Wesbrook to which general supt, E«an responded from the front of the locomotive. Thu military then fired a feu do joie nnd the artillery a salute, 'At 10:30, amidst the wildest enthusiasm, the train luft for Port Moody wliere it will arrive un Sunday morning. Ovations await the train at all poiuts along the line to its destination.

The mayor was requested to telegraph Sir John and ascertain the date of his arrival. A reply to this tolegram was received yesterday as follows: "Cannot.yet say when I shall arrive. John A. Macdonald.." . ' Who Burned Vancouver ?—In a late issue thu Guardian cupped the climax by accusing the provincial secretary of being the cause of the Vancouver lire! It turns out as a matter of fact tliat, the Vancouver fire was caused by Mr. Orr's celebrated 6 acres, which were covered witli fallen timber, and furnished material for the conflagration—and Orr is ono of the flW- dian's candidates! *»> m ■ - Hall's Prairie School -The half- yearly examination of the Hall's Prui- ri« public school took place on Thursday the 24th inst. Although threatened with rain in the morning it soon cleared off and all the adults of tho settlement wero early in attendance. Even the most confirmed old bachelors came out to see tho performances. The examination was a decided success, the ones wbo examined the classes, Mr. Reid of Clover Valley, and Mrs. Johnson, being delighted with the accuracy and amount of know ledge which the children have acquired since tho school wu started, and the genial and popular teacher, Mr. J. C. McLennan, was much complimented hy thoso present. The thorough training iu those fundamental branches, spelling, arithmetic and geography, wu especially marked. The rolls of honor were taken by Ellen Hurt, proficiency; David W. Brown, regularity and punctuality; Ida Hart, deportment. Tho people of the settlement are to be much praised for tho great interest taken by them in the school, a practical proof of which was the subscription of fifteen dollars to assist tlio teacher in buying prizes for tho pupils, and oh I tho" merry smiles which played hide-and-go-seek over their littlo faces ns the'bright- huod books were handed out. After sonic well-timed ndvico't.u the children nud thanks to the visitors that hod come to see the school thc examination closed.--Com, Ci/ivku Valley School.—Tlio usual half-yearly examination was held in Clover Valley school on Friday ihe 28th inst, Tho day though warm was pleasant, and from the largo turnout of visitors it could euily bu seen that the peoplo of Clover Valley take an evor iucreuing interest in the welfare of tho school. The children were thoroughly examined in tho various branches taught and acquitted them* solves iu u milliner reflecting great credit on themselves and their teacher. A noticeable fact U that while the children iu this school are drilled in tlio school work, they are also conversant with the current events and literature of the day to an extent which would do honor to older heads. An* other thing in regard to the examination worthy of imitation in other schools was the interchange of visits botween the teachers oh this occasion. Mr. J. O. McLennan, teacher, and Mrs, Johnson, of Halls Prairie, materially increased the interest bv their examination of the cluses, At the close of the examination Mr. Reid presented thu rolls of honor to the deserving pupil*, who were: Frank McKetnsie, proficiency; George Shannon, regularity and punctuality; and Josiah Booihroyd,deportment.

Homer, M.P., roceived the following telegram lost night from the deputy-post master-general at Ottawa; "No order has evet been sent for discontinuance of direct steam mail sorvice between Victoria and New Westminster." We are quite at a loss to reconcile this with the events that have lately transpired. Oar National Day! THE CELEBRATION AT THE ROYAL CITY. Thursday morning promised well for a holiday, but about the middle of the afternoon rain began falling, and the evening was wet and disagreeable. About 5 o'clock the str. Yosemito arrived ■ fmm Victoria with over 200 excursionists. Ttie Louise brought a number from Nnnaimo, and other steamers from various points swelled the concourse.

The Vancouver Meeting. (Condensed from tlie News.) The Hon. John Robion addressed a public meeting in this city nn Wednesday evening. There being no building of sufficient capacity available the meeting was held in the open air, a platform having been erected in front of the site of the Sunnyside hotel. The attendance was very large, variously estimated at frum 1000 to 1600. His worship Mayor McLean wss unanimously elected to the chair, and Dr. McGuigan was appointed to act as secretary. The chairman introduced (hu provincial secretary with a few oouipll* mentary remarks, referring to the services he rendered in tlie legislature towards securing incorporation fnr tho city aud lht alacrity snd liln-i ■ ality displayed in succoring Vancouver in her great distress. The Hon. Mr. Robson explained the circumstances whieh prevented an earlier visit to his constituents, nud then proceeded to review the psst and indicate the future policy of the government. Ho referred to the encouraging circumstance of the voting power of the district having doubled since thu lost general election, ami thu general prosperity observable throughout the province, claiming that to tho liberal and progressive policy of the government it was partly due. Uu then went on to expose thc various cries raised by the opposition, which h« did most effectually, showing very dearly that the so-called "give sways" upon which the opposition. havo been rinving the changes, wero all moonshine. Concluding an eloquent and argumentative speech, Mr. Rnbeon admonished the electors tn poll a full voto, and send a united delegation to streugthou tho hands of a liberal and progressive government, aud warned them ngainst committing the obvious folly of sending u divided delegation. At the conclusion nftheaddress, wliich evoked repeated and hearty applause, Mr. Powers, of Moodyville, undertook bi criticise Mr. Robson upon several matters, tho outcome of which wns added triumph for Mr. Robson and discomfiture to the blustering Moodyvillo inn-keeper. Finding himself worsted Mr. rowers exclaimed, "Mr, Robson is n big man now ; but I remember him years ago whon he was a pom- working man, cutting wood for a living." Turning triumphantly to tho audience, Mr. Robson said, amid ringing cheers, that, he was proud to look back to the early days of his pioneer experience in this Province, when he bad earned un honest living by hard labour; und everyone appeared to feel that the Statesman had scored one against tho Innkeeper. His worship the Mayor called upon L. A. Hamilton, Esq., to nddress the assemblage. This popular gentleman, having ascended the platform, delivered a brief but telling address, in the courso of which he complimented thu Provincial Secretary, and substantiated liis statements respecting the policy of extension of the railway to Coal Harbor, showing that the Provincial Government bad given less than one acre for 10 givon by the Dominion Government, to say nothing of the largo cash subsidies. The following resolutions were then passed unanimously: Moved by L. A. Hamilton, seconded by Joseph Mannion, That uf ter listening to the straightforward explanations ol his public acts given by the Hon. John Robson, it is the opinion of this meeting that the policy pursued by him as a minister of thn crown has been in furtherance of tho bost interests of the province of British Columbia at large and particularly advantageous to the district which he represents, and meets with our hearty approval. Moved by R, H. Alexander, seconded by W. H. Soule, That this meeting returns its hearty thanks to the Hon. Jno, Robson for the unflagging interest he has always shown in the progress of this sectiou of (fie district and for his continual and ready support of every men* sure towards our advancement, notably in the passage of our act of incorporation aud also for the prompt and valuable response to the appeal on behalf of our unfortunate fellow citizens who were left destitute by the late conflagration. Moved by Dr. McGuigan, seconded by Edward McKeadry, That this meeting pledges itself to support the Hon.

John Robsou nddioued meeting of the electors of Richmond and the North Arm, iu the town hall, on Wednesday last, at one p. m., but owing to the shortness of the notice given—only a day—and the haying season being on, the meeting was not so large as it otherwise would have been, only about 45 persons being present. Alexander Kilgour having been appointed chairman and J. Sprott secretary, after a few remarks from the chairman, the hon. gentleman waa called upon to address the meeting. t Mr. Robson came forward and delivered an nble and exhaustive address on the action and policy of the government, and a refutation of thc charges brought against it by tho so- called opposition, which was listened to by the audience with the most marked interest and attention. At the conclusion uf his address he said he would with their permission sit down and in a friendly way discuss road matters with them. A question was put by Hugh Boyd In the event of Mr, Robson being returned, will he pledge his influence in obtaining this settlement bridges from Lulu and Sea Islands to connect us with the i in inland l Mr. Robsou, in reply, stated ho had those bridges fully iu viuw and ho wai fully nli/e to the great importance of having them constructed so as, to enable tho people to have direct" communication with the mainland, and he would uso all his influence and all the power he possessed to procure all the money he possibly could for tlie construction of those bridges, and as soon as he returned to Victoria lio would huve the necossary instruct! nis given to the eurvcyor-genoral to anno up and nuke a thorough survey of the most suitable locations, with an estimate of the probable cost. Mr. Kidd thought the bridges would be in plentv uf time if built two or threo yeais hence und thought it more important to devote the money to the construction uf roads, und the bridges would follow, remarks which did not Bcem to cnll forth any response from tho rest of the ati-Atenee. Mr. Kiluont- snid ho considered it of much greater importance to the settlement to obtain tho bridges tirst, and he felt conhduiit, having secured thom, that tho people would tind wayB and means of obtaining roads to connect, Mr. Kilgnitr's remarks seemed to meet with f-iMieml approval by those present. Mr. Robsun said he thought it would bu buBt after tho surveys and estimate of cost was made tu hold a meeting in the town hall, when ho would mako a point of boing present, and a vote could then be taken as to whether they should have tho roads or bridges first, which wns unanimously agreed to. Tho lum. gentleman then stated thst if anv gum Ionian had nny questions to *-k him ho would be happy to reply. N.'iie being put, he snid tis ho had to be at Vancouver by 7 o'clock that even- iim to address a meeting there, mid the nf,(.Tim-ui being far advanced he Imped thoy would excuse him A vote of thanks having been passed to the chairman and the ban. gentleman, the meoting was brought to a closo, Use the safe, pleasant, and effectual worm killer, Mother Groves' Worm Exterminator, nothing equals it, Procure a bottle and take it home.

Winnipeg, July 2.—The first day of Winnipeg's great celebration festival has heen an unqualified success. The city is crowded with strangers, thou* sands upon thousands being in town frum all parts of the north-west, Minnesota and Dakota. The main features of tbe first day's festivities were lhe races in Praeey Park; the St. Andrew's society & Caledonian sports and games, the military parade and reception, the arrival of the first through train, and the fint heat in tho professional scull race ^n which Gandour defeated Ha mm. ■■■'•- '■*."•' Mr, George Tolen, Druggist, Graven, hurst, Out., writes: "My cutrtofoers who have used Northrop k Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure say that it liu- done them more good than anything they have ever used." It lias indeed a wonderful influence in purifying the blood and curing diseases of the Digestive Organs, the Uver, Kidneys, and all disorders of the system. country and their kind should judge ot candidates for office very largely by their attitude on this question. We submit that a person who will not work heartily for the curtailment of the liquor traffic is unworthy of public confidence, and is lacking in that particular whioh is essential in a legislator. The measures proposed by the Alliance are vety moderate, so that they ought to commend themselves to every right minded person. The following are some of the leading points: 1. Limitation in the number of licenses. 2. The closing of salooni, bars, etc., during the whole of Hunday und during certain hours of the night—Bay from 10 or 12 p. m, to 6 or 7 a, m. I. Impartially constituted licensing boards with efficient inspection. 4. Proper machinery for the enforcement of the Uw, and for the suppression of unlicensed selling. This is the outline of a very moderate measure. We cannot be satisfied with less, and we ask those who think with us to tolerate no quibbling from candidates on the subject.

On the contrary, there has been no interference of any hind on the part of the home government, and the Dominion government is determined in future, as in the past, to strictly enforce the law against United Sates fishing vessels found violating the treaty. Rangoon, Tune 29.—A force of British troops, with two batteries, has had a severe fight with 1,SOO Burmese. They were entrenched near Tummer. The fight lasted fire hours. The British fail- ing to dislodge the rebels retired. Sev- eral officers were killed and wounded. London, June 29. — Henry Ward Beecher and Mrs. Beecher arrived in London to-day. They were met at the depot by Dr. Parker, pastor of the City Temple, and his wife, and given a most affectionate greeting. Dr. Parker led Mrs. Beechrr to his carnage and Beecher followed with Mrs. Parker. Tlw party was at once driven to Dr. Parker's house in St. John's ward. Beecher is iu good health, but says he intends to rest be* fore returning or preaching. He is full to-day of tye great treat enjoyed by him at Liverpool yesterday, of listening to Gladstone's marvellous oration, and watching the enthusiasm of the vast audience.

Editor Columbian,—-Tbe large sals Ies and wages granted by Onderdook- aud which wero out of all character for tho services rendered—wen met in a measure by the enormous charges for fares and freights, consequently the gen* eral public and store-keepers in the interior wero made the victims. It would now appear that thc syndicate have determined upon the adoption of an honest policy of reducing salaries and wages, and the fares and freights to a reasonable tariff. It would also be a further stroke of good policy if the syndicate wero to run three sound and swift steamers between Victoria and the head of navigation on tho l-Yaser River, not only to out down the fares and freights, but to ensure safe, reliable, aud permanent traflic. Vours oliodteutly, Storkkki-tkh, Vale, Ilbtli June. Temperance and the Elections, HmiHiit COLi'MHi-VS.—The British Columliia Hniiioh nf the Dominion Temper- atiec Alliance itt the last animal meeting instructed its executive to drafts bill for tho better regulation of the ltf|Uor traffic, to be laid before tbe legislature at its noxt session, Tho need of legislation in this direction must he apparent to evory thoughtful ami 11 is interested poison. Tho drink bill of thin province amounts to $1,500,- 000 per annum- two and a half times the provincial revenue, fifteen times the amount spent iu public education. It would pay tlio deficit ton times over, nnd leave a nice little sum to the good. Ko wonder tliat the resources of the province are lying undeveloped, when such an immense amount is annually diverted from the channels of legitimate industry, and devoted to an unnatural, mean and ruinous self-indulgence. This traflic is kitting off our people by the score. Scarcely a week passes without onr hearing of some one dropping suddenly and prematurely into the grave through the use of stimulants, and (rem piosont appearances many others will soon follow. Te tha liquor traflc the province is indebted chiefly for tht disgraceful prevalence of prostitution snd gambling, and the rapid extermination of the Indians. It is very much to be regretted that om- public men fight shy of this vital question, and spend time on the platform iu personalities and in the discussion of comparatively trivial issues. We respectfully and earnestly oall the attention of alt candidates for parliament and of the electors generally to the necessity of grappling with this matter at once. We think that all lovers of their delivered yesterday at Liverpool, said: It was here that I first drew breath. I have drawn it now 70 years, and the time is not distant when I shall pay my debt to nature, and these possibly are tbe lost words I shall speak in Liverpool. Gladstone quoted from the ballad of "Chevy Chase"-"tho child unborn shall rue the bunting of that day"—and exclaimed, "if Idle and shallow, pretexts bewilder the minds of the people, or if power, wealth aud rank overbear the national sense, the child unborn shall rue the voting of that day. I entreat you to resolve that the civilized world shall no longer assert that Ireland is England's Poland, and to determine that England shall no longer have a Poland. She has hod it long enough.

Collingwood, which had gone out to sea from Spit- head for artillery experiments, took place on Tuesday, May 18th. The gun was oi-e of a pair mounted en barbette aft ot the Bhip, and the experiment was intended to try the effect of the gun mounting invented by Mr. Vava&setir. Admiral Hopkins, superintendent of naval ordinance; Mr. Butler, inspector of gun mountings; Admiral Herbert, superintendent of Portsmouth dock yard; Mr. Alton, chief inspector of machinery; Admiral Sir Georgo Willes and other naval oflicers and admiralty officials, with Mr. Vavosseur, were on board. Tho gnus were lo tire two rounds with reduced charge of 221] poutidB.of cocoa powder, with a shell lilled with water and weighing 714 poiinds- nfter wliich they wore to lire four rounds with full charges of 21)5 pounds of p'.wder. The right-hand gun fired ono round with the reduced charge; tho left hand gun was then tried with the same, and burst, whirling large fragments into the air. Fortunately no person was hurt. Tho ship was lying between the Warner and the Nub Lightships. Eight feet of tho f/un'a barrel wns torn off, the weld of tho coil rent open, and some of the pieces, beside damaging and plowing up the deck of tho ship injured, in a greater or less degree, the glacis plates, the hinges of a door through the armored bulkhead, tho grating of a scuttle, the electric light platform, and the Gardner and Nor- denfeldt machine guns whieh were near. Tho Collingwood returned to Spit hend, and au official inquiry wus ordered. It is believed that the fault wns not in tho handling, but in the making of the guii at Woolwich arsenal; The Terror of a city. Botween tho woman who wanders about the streets shoving a baby carriage beforo her aud the woman who drives a horso and buggy thore is a choice. The baby carriago can sometimes be dodged, jumped over or got around. You can sometimes evade it by climbing a telegraph pulew rushing into a basement. If you are armed with a club and can look ferocious the woman will sometimes turn aside and cripple aome one else. But for thu woman who drives a horse and buggy —look out! I saw her start out the other day. When the horse left the post the woman was looking back to wave her hand at somebody, and tho Hues were on the dashboard. There was an ioe wagon coming up the street, but wave she must and did. She was almost ready to turn her attention to tho horse when he stopped. He had to. He had run plump into the ice wagon, and he couldn't climb over it. The woman picked up the lines, pulled on the "gee" and then on tho "haw," ran the horso over the curbstone and twisted around a tree, and as she got into tho street again she upset a swill cart with tho off wheels and went hor way with serene countenance. When Bhe reached tbe avenue Bhe was fussing with the lap robe, and the horse took a long turn. There was a street car passing, and if the driver hadn't put on tho brake and turned his horses across the track she must have beon run duwn. It is doubtful if ahe noticed the fact. She pulled ou onu rein with both hands, told Dubbin to "git up," and finally got away on a straight line, on thu wrong side of the street, of course. A brick team crowded her into the curbstone, but the smile never left her fnce. A milk wagon rubbed the foro wheel, and the milkman yelled at her, lint she looked straight ahead. The horse finally crossed over to the other Bide on his own account, and the street cur missed tho hind wheel by such a clone shave tbat half the passengers cried out in alarm. All of a suddon tho woman pulled hard ou both lines and cried "Whoa!" She had been struck at sight of a new hat on a passing woman, and sbo wanted to aee more of it, A grocer's delivery wagon was following closo behind, and the sudden stop brought about a crash. Horse, woman and phmton were slewed around and almost upset, but the only one at all disturbed waa the horse. He didn't seem to believe in sudden chances. .He was hawed and geed and pulled into shape, and as he jogged along again the lines were dropped whilo the driver fussed with her hat. Her buggy struck tho nose of a horse backed up to a grocers donr —brushed against an oxpresB wagon— akinned along '.be side of a Btreet oar- and finally locked wheels with a beer wason. Nothing waa broken—nobody disturbed in mind or body. A harness-maker backed her horso out and headed him down street, aud tlie serene journey was again resumed, to be interrupted on the next blocn by the animal bringing up ugninst tho baek end of a farmer's wagon. "What in blazes—-!" roared the farmer. But he stopped there. She bad dropped the linos to tuck iu the lap robe. Down at .the next street three men stood talking. The phmton croasod over and made a hoe line for them aud drove them off, aud then crossed baok and skinned along a pile of brick aud drove four or five atone cutters to jump for their lives, It was just half n block . further that the horse was "hawed" to cross to a photograph gallery. Vehicles were crossing in a mob. A private carriage was stopped doad still, a fish* ruin's cart backed into a sand team, and a plumber's horso given ft set-back to last him for a month, Hut retribution waa at hand, A two-torse dray caught a hind wheel of the pluuton and wronohed it df, nnd drove splinters into tho pavement. Somo one held tho horse, and somo one else-helped the woman out. and when she surveyed the wreck she mildly observed: *'l wonder how on oarth lhat oold possibly have happened, when I am such a good driver!" I give 'you fair warning. 1 saw her at the wagon shop yesterday bargaining for a new wheel. Sho intends to drive out again. No arrangements enn be made with the signal service mnn to hoist the danger signal when elm starts out, nor will the police ride on ahead and olemt the streets, .The public must look out for itself until the legislature again convenes and some law can be made tu cover thu case.—- Detroit Free Press.
