Prospects of Keclproelty; The battle of tariff and no tariff lias been pretty well fought out in Canada. When Sir Leonard Tilley produced the great N. P., tie vooistw and opponent*of-H oat» i>to wd'ct tiffin-"! dearly defined and understood by those at least who have the habit of informing themselves upon trade questions, the two political parties went to the polls with this issue, and the N. F. was adopted by u deliberate national vote. Reformers, who contended for a revenue tariff (that is, a tariff just high enough to supply the required revenue of the country), assert that tho N. P. is a fraud and a delusion, und that it lias failed in accomplishing tho purposo for which it was framed. It, has certainly brought a large revenue into the treasury, so large that tbe government has been continually burdened with a surplus. But it is beyond question that the popularity of the N. P. is growing less. When it was first presented to the people of Canada, tbe country was-Buffering under a period of great financial depression. Orope had been unsatisfactory, money - was acaroe, and prices of produce ruled low. - The people were open for any scheme which promised botter times. The N. P. promised this, and was accepted as a probable remedy for tho evils whioh bore bo heavily on the nation. There has been a period of comparative prosperity. During the past five or six years Canada- has been making substantial advancement aud accumulating wealth. Her manufacturing industries, or at least some of thom, have experienced the stiuiuUting effects of a protective tariff. But as there cannot be two hills without a valley between, bo it seems we cannot have prosperous periods without periods of depression intervening. The stimulus given by the N. P. to many industries has puBhed them forward beyond the sphere of legitimate development Canada, at best, has b'it a limited market, and hostile tariffs set up a barrier against international trade. The manufacturing boom resulted, as somo people predicted it would, iu a certain measure of collapse. Markets became glutted. Tbe supply was greater thau the demand, Mills began to shut down, or to run on short time. Employees were thrown out of work. Money markets became tight, and financial disaster overtook those who had ventured beyond their depth. The remedy worked admirably where tho disease did not exist, A remedy for commercial depression could scarcely receive an honest trial where depression did not prevail. People now begin to suspect that the N. P., as a recipe tor perpetual prosperity, is not what hns been claimed fer it. Taxes are found to be pressing upon the nation just at a time when it feels itself unprepared to meet them. The theory of protection has not by any means been proved sound by the experience of the N. P., and Canadians are beginning to look about for some ' means of relief from high taxes while the high revenue has tailed. At the critical moment somebody suggests reciprocity, If reciprocity is seoured upon a fair basis, we believe it will bring to the country a more permanent benefit than has come from the N. P. The United States are our natural allies. The people of that nation speak the same language and cherish the same traditions as the people of Canada. Their laws and institutions are similar to ours, and in social customs there is no appreciable difference. The two countries are divided by conventional lines which cannot separate the two peoples. But tho United States are strong in finance und tr -le, while we ure comparatively weak in both. It will be for those to whose hands are committed the responsibility of negotiating a leeiprooity treaty to aee that our Inferior position is not taken advantage of by the stronger power. Looking at the,natural resources of the two countries, one must arrive at tho .conclusion..that both would be vastly aaiisted in nutters ot trade NEW WESTMINSTER, R OJ, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1884. NUMBER 2 it tbey existed under ont govern • ft ;mi#miMlN»m->fr>- duced in the United Sulfa which cannot be economicdt** produced in banada; and we have tome products which do not exist south of tM boundary, Betides, the Wliirel re. sources are distributed onanuully in both countries. Coal, wliich is one of the necessities ol commerce and manufacture, lies scattered over the whole, continent Butxttere are large areas where no coal exists. The people ot Ontario and Quebec, tor example, muat either carry their coal all the wie smapwle. "One of the smartest things I ever saw in my travels," said t passenger from the West, to a newapaper reporter, "was a cowboy stopping a cattle stampede! A herd of about six or eight hundred had got frightened at something, and broke away poll mall with tbeir: tails in the air and thi bulls'at the head of the procession. But.Mr. Oowboy didn't get excited at all when he taw the herd »aa going for a straight bluff, where they would certainly tumble down into the canyon and be killed. "You know that when a hard like that gets to going, they can't Mop, ho matter whether they ruth to death or not: I Thete in tht rear orowd thou ahead, and away they go. I wouldn't have given a dollar t head for the herd; but the cowboy spurred up hi. mustang, made a little detour, came right in front of the herd, cut acros. their path at a right angle, and than galloped leisurely on to the edged that bluff; halted, and looked around tt thtt wild inaai of. beef coming right Matt] him. He waa cool a. a cucumber, though I expected to aee him killed, and'I was so excited I could not apeak. I I- well, when the lesdert had got within about a quarter of a mile of him, I saw them try tu alack up, though they could not do it very quick. But the whole herd seemed to want to atop, and then the cowt tnd steer, in the rear got about whtreth. cowboy had cut acros. their path, I wu surprised to see them stop tnd commence to nibble tt the grass. Then the whole herd stopped, wheeled, ttrsejltd back, and went to fighting fM- a chance to' eat where the rear: guard was. "Vou ate, thtt cowboy had opened a big bag of salt be had brought out from tho ranch to give the cattle, galloped across the hard's course, and emptied tho bag. Every critter sniffed that line of salt, and, of courae, that broke up the stampede. Bill I tall you it wit a queor tight to aw thtt man out there on the edge of'that bluff quietly rolling a cigarette, when it seemed aa though he'd beeu lying under 200 tent of beef in about a minute and t half."

From telegrams published io another column, it will.be seen that tho cholera epidemic is causing great havoc and consternution in Europe. The disease cau hardly be, conuiied to France. Qimrautine regulations are very strict, but cholera cannot be shut up within such enclosures. Should it find its way to Germany and Britain, no one can predict where it moy stop. Already hundreds of persons are fleeing from Iho infected districts, and some of these, will bo sine to carry with thein the germs of diseuse to propagate lu other spheres. It mny be loug before the scourge will reach this continent, but the utmost vigilance SllO'lId lm av9.-ot.ed ovorywhere tn keep out the plague. To this end it is of great importance thnt quarantine arrangements in this province ahould be perfected. We have late ly bad aome experience which Bhould not be thrown awny. The Dunlin ion government cannot with impunity shut ita eyes lo tbe new danger which, threatens, us. There is uo time to be lost. iB-HgniBl Passengers. Before leaving ship the quarantined passengers on board the str. Mexico passed a serins of resolutions of' which these are a few: Resolved, that we, the passengers of the steamship Mexico,, lament and de- plone, tl|. utter ignorance oJ Dr.. Wm. Kcknn, who, a. [health oBcer of Viotoria, B. ft, after finding no sickness aboard our vessel, and ignoring the clean Mil of health exhibited by the captain {nm the custom house officer at'Han Imao'sco, Cal, ordered u. to remain ojiarau'toed *o» sixteen days—failing to Visit u. tke entire time, barring the second day of our arrival. Be it further.' Resolved, that we condemn the heart- lessA-M that permitted tons and tons of freight to he landed, and denied us the privilege of sending postal nutter to anxious relations and mends. ■•.: Also, that we chargo him with gross neglect of duty, in failing to visit onr ship, after being repeatedly sent foi by a quarantine officer aboard. Ahn, in failing to vaccinate the fifteen little children aboard the ship, or in taking any measure whatever to prevent the spread ofsthe loathsome disease which, he claimed would, develop. Tbe circumstances in which these persons found themselves were certainly not such as to promote good humor, but we are Inclined to tliiuk these resolutions were scarcely warranted by tho facts. It may be true that the Mexico showed a clean bill of health from San Franoisco. At the time of leaving that port it was not known that any of her passengers were infected, or that there bad been smallpox on the Tokio, from which she took a number of Chinese. Aa soon aa the dis- cov'i'y had been made, the fact was telegraphed to Victoria, and we do I not very well aee how, under the circumstances, Dr. Jackson could have permitted the passengers to land. With respect to the charges of carelessness and neglect we know nothing. If the representations of the passengers, are correct, it. lpoks as if. he had failed in his duty in this respect. Posaibjy these repre, dentations may have been somewhat exaggerated, however. Another Tltue Tab|e. From a notice published in our advertising columns, it will be seen that the C. P. N. Co. proposes to make another change in the time table of the up-river steamers. Fat- many years these steamers have been leaving this city every Wednesday and Saturday morning. It is now proposed to leave on Tuesday inatetd of Wednesday. This change brings us back to a worse condition than ever. The tendency of communication in a progressive country Bhould be. towards advancement, The step proposed is one of retro- gieaaion. Last summer nnd the Hummer before we had four steamers n week between here and Yale; now we have two ateamere, and it is pre. posed so to divide the week that two daya shall go to on* trip and four to the other. The C. F. N. people affirm that tbe change is contemplated at the suggestion of the post-office inspector. If this he true, the in spector is meddling with matters which he utterly1 fails to comprehend. The mail subsidy between this city and Yale was given not only to geoure a regular mail service for tha lower Fraser, hut to ensure also regular and adequate transportation. Both theae objects have been fairly accomplished by the past /tervios; neither of them ;*wtt be at. tained by the new scheme proposed by the inspector. There will bo a mail leaving thii eity on Tuesday morning, conveying ttwi material accumulated on Saturday and Monday, wliil*for S».urd»*'* mi.il than will lie an accumulation of four days' material. Instead of dividing the week by tlie middle, aa.has been done, it is to be divided into sections of If aiid §, and tbe well-established usages of trade, are to be 'disorganized, because the inspector fancies a change! Havo the people of tlio Fraser valley no rights in this matter'! Before venturing 'to meddle with this matter, surely common couitesy would have suggested to the inspector the propriety of consulting the representative' of the district most seiiously affected by the. change. But ho has not done so; neither has lie consulted tbe board of trade, nor the people. In the name of this city und district we protest against the proposed change, because it affords fewer facilities than the arrangement now in existence—and that is no better than it should be. About Prohibition. Although no practical attempt lias evef- been made to apply the Scott Act to the restriction of the liquor traffio in this province, it has been adopted by a' sreat many eastern counties. At tbo present time there are nearly a dozen counties in Ontario, where arrangements have been made to take a vote on this bill during the summer, and the contest's going on most vigorously. In order to 'give a fair and impartial statement as to the effects of the Scott Act, the Toronto Globe some months ago sent a special commissioner to the eastern provinces. The letters of thia commissioner havu been of great interest, and contain tbe results of a careful and extensive personal enquiry. The Globe of the 24th ult. contains the commissioner's final letter, in which he sums up the whole matter. He finds that the temperance sentiment in eastern Canada is very far in advance of that of the west; that although there is a good deal of drinking done in towns und cities where the Scott Act hus been carried, yet it is a great deal less than before the passage of the act; that in rural districts the Scott Act has virtually stopped the liquor traffic and the drinking customs. In towns, where drinking continues contrary to law, it is curried on in such a way and in such places as to make it disreputable. Of Sackville, where he found a great deal of drinking, the commissioner says: "Bar room drinking, the social feature of the traffic, has been wholly suppressed) and thereby the most potent agenoy in (he manufacture of drunkards removed; for after all the great curse and danger of the liquor traffic is the social treating of the publio barroom. The places in Sackville where liquor can be obtained are bo utterly degraded in look, character, and method that the young men of the community will not visit them, and their very existence serves more than anything else to make drinking repulsive and to confirm the people in their allegiance to prohibitory iegislation. In Sackville, then, it is only a few of the- more do- graded products of the license system who connive at the violation of the law. In Kings, in Frederic- ton, in Digby, in every constituency where the interference of-thp. law, has not disabled the Act, the same results are the outcome of it&operar Hon," The commissioner! further asserts, from .statistics of trade, that there has beet) a, great decrease in the consumption of intoxicating liquors wliere the Scott Act has been adopted. "The greut bulk of the testimony," he says, "I found agreed in the admission that in the rural sections drinking liad almost absolutely ceased." He gives testimony on another point which is of considerable importance. There seems to be an opinion, especially in this province, that a hotel cannot be kept without tbe adjunct of a bar. The Globe commissioner says: "The character of the hotel accommodation in these provinces has not heen degraded by the operation of the Scott Aot, and in those Nova Scotian counties in which no licenses have been issued for years, ns good and aa cheap public accommodation' is provided as will be found in any section of Ontario. The prosperity of the towns has not been adversely' affected. Real estate lias not de > creased in value and there is no contention that the burden of taxation' has been made heavier by tbe loss of license revenue." It is not many days since one of tlie saloon keepers in this oity made an attempt to persuade the public that hia business was one of the greatest helps to general trade. All enquiry into the practical working of the prohibition movement is against this absurd theory. It is advanced by nelsons whose."craft is ih danger," and who care very little- for the moral or material advancement of the nation.

Langley, July fi.—The public picnic announced some time ago u intended to be given' by tho people of Langley as Dominion Day celebration, but whioh on. account of unavoidable eireumatancea had to he put off until tbe fourth of the month, was held here yesterday on Langley Prsu'rio, and wot really a grand nnd most enjoyable affair. It had been widely known that in response to invitations the hon. the Provinoial Secretary and the representatives of the district aud oity of New Westminster had signified their Intention to bo present, and the knowledge of thit fact wu no doubt the mag-, net that attracted sd large a gathering of people to the picnic. Every settlement iu the district from Popcum to the Gulf wss represented/ thore being quite a number even from Yale, and except those disabled, by sioknsu, every' man, woman and' child within the municipality itself was present. At least from 600 to 600 people wore in attendance, a very large proportion of whom wero ladies. Ample and liberal provisions had been made for the entertainment and amusement of- the general public, and every requisite and suitable preparation ana provision for the becoming reception and entertainment of tbe diitinguiehedvii'tors. In thia respect the committeo of management manifested j -■ UOSIAEKT JUDGMENT taste and foresight. The programme framed for the day's' festivities included reception of the Hon. the Provincial Secretary and accompanying representatives at the steamboat landing; procession in conveyances theuce to the pio-rio ground, distanced about 3 miles; singing of the national anthem by the children of Langloy Prairie school; presentation of an address of welcome to she Provincial Secretary and twe renreeentatives, by th. Langley municipal council; luncheon and dancing (a spacious platform having been erected for the purpose in the shade ot the forest, and. an excellent string band provided); horse racing, athlectic contests, and various other sports and out door amusements. The weathor wu simply superb, fresh, bright and sunshiny, but clear and cool all day. About 11 o'clock the steamer Adelaide, chartered for tho occuion, arrived at the landing from New Westminster with a large number of picnickers, and having on board the Hon. Jno. Robson, Provincial Secretary, snd M. P. P. for the District of New Westminster; bis colleague in the representation of tho district, James Orr, Esq., M.P.P.; and James Cunningham, Esq., M.P.P., for the Oity of New Westminster. A oommittee of reception composed of a few of tlio most prominent residents of, the municipality immediately boarded the vessel and escorted these gentlemen to conveyances a string of whicli was waiting in readiness to.convey the picnickers that arrived by the steamer to the pio-nio ground. The Provinoial Secretary, with Mr. Cunningham, M. P.P., and accompanied by members of the reception oommittee and a,fow other gentlemen, occupied .the first conveyance. In the aecond conveyance —whether by accident or design your reporter doesn't know—accompanied by a member of the reception committee who ut on tbe front of the vehicle, wt Mr. Orr, M.P.P., right in the centre of a bevy of pretty but MISCHIEVOUS YOUNG OIBU, hit generous,'glowing face, wreathed in smiles and looking like a peony set in a bed of lilies. A train of farmer*- wagons loaded with people and a larj,e crowd on foot followed. Arrived .it the picnic ground, Mr. Orr took a in the conveyance occupied by tlie Provincial Secretary and Mr. Cunningham, which waa immediately dciwau r^i,ua t.mmiinim to tjoiumuni, «.iftn up in front of the platform, packed Q unacceptable to Oanada, Suoh' with ladies dreued in gay holiday co.- ,„, __, 0f ,kj, settlement Will tumes. On the front of the platform were drawn up in double rank the children of Langley Prairie school, and theae, led by their accomplished teacher, Min Ooghlan, gave a beautiful rendition of the national anthem. Then the reeve and members of the tnunioi- nel council grouped themtelvcs.in the front of the platform and the clerk ef the council, Mr. Geo. Rawlison, read tlie following ADDRESS or WELCOME.

It U witli great plttwro that ws offer vou an expression oi the satisfaction w ith which ws perceive tho bsAsfiolal result* of ths pnssnt Governments pottoyiii promoting the welfare and4e<££pi»ut ol tuET'&rtriet and provinos. At a time when immigration is ttee\\y ooming to thoso shorn, you have given to our municipalities auch financial assistance as has enabled us to make some sort of provision for opening up new settlements; and the appointment of immigration agents ha enabled newcomers io niid suitable homes for their families. The fruits of tliis liberal policy are everywhere seen. From statements already published it haa been shown that this distriot Is rapidly filling: up, and those who hnve oome an chiefty ft moat desirable olass of setti rs. While expressing gratitude for hat has been done, we may be permi ed to suggest that the Municipal Ac should be so amended as to admit of -atute labor on the assessment principle which prevails In the province of Onterii believing that auch an arrangement w uid enable us greatly to improve exis ng roads and construct new ones. wlit e they are so much needed. We have the honor to >e, Gentlemen, your obedient servants, J hes McAdam, Reeve; W. Jrnkixs, R.N ness, J.Smith, H. Morrisoh, Counclllo i.—Geo. Raw* lisok, Clerk. Langley, Jnly 4th, 1881 MR. ORB was the first to reply a the address. In a few happy and < xtremely well chosen words he thawed the reeve, the members of the municipal council, and the people of Langley, for the kind invitation to their pic*ijic and the address just read. He nid it afforded him great happiness aid the highest pleasure to be afforded this opportunity of meeting and iiinglirtg in a Bocial way with ao mapy of his constituents and especially with so largo and important a section if them as the people of the municipality of Langley.- Since tbis was an ocoasloi of social intercourse and enjoyment he felt it wonld be very improper for him to in- dulgo in a long speech nnd he had therefore made up his mind - before coming here to refer as little as possible to politics. He would however take occasion to say that ho felt very great dissatisfaction at the non-f ulfilmeut of their obligations by the Dominion Government under tho Settlement Bill. Ho referred particularly to their failure so far to carry out their promise made not long ago to have aAorder made in council regulating the tenure of the publio lands. This was a great and crying grievance and he hoped the provinoial government would put forth every effort to bring the Dominion government to time. He very much disapproved of the recent action of tha J provincial government in reserving rom sale the publio land west of the Port Moody road. He strongly deprecated any restriction whatever on the sale of the public lands. After a few complimentary words to the ladies, Mr. Orr concluded his speech by saying that. the government might always count upon, nil hearty support in (tarrying nny measures they might adopt tending to advance the interests of the Distict of New Westminster. THB HON. PROVINCIAL SECRETARY next replied to the address.. On rising to apeak h« waa received with loud and loug-oontinued applause. He expressed the gratification he felt at meeting with such a reoeptioii at the hands of so lnrge a number of his constituents. Next to tho approval of one's Own conscience, sueh words of welcome and commendation constitute tho highest, reward of the patriotio politician, proving aa tbey did that his services were appreciated. In looking round upon the vast audience he could not but be delighted with the evidences he saw of the rapid progress of settlement in that part of thamjfaifi- cent district it waa hie honor and pride to represent in the provincial parliament; for, although two years ago he was familiar with almost every settler, now every other face was new to him. He had reason to believe that., folly fifty per cent, had been added to the settled agricultural population of the district during the eighteen months the present government had beeu in office; and he waa glad to know that, in the words of the address, those who have conn* aro ohiefly a most desirable class of settlers. The government of which he was a mem* Ber was keenly alive to the importance of possessing a. prosperous and contented yeomanry, and the settlers might rely upon everything being done tbat could be done, with tbe limited revenue at their disposal, towards, supplying ROADS AND SCHOOLS, without which prosperity or content* ment was impossible. Referring to the gross misrepresentation and scurrilous abuso indulged in by the opposition press of the province, he -remarked that while there oould be no objection to legitimate opposition and fair criticism, it was neither honorable nor patriotio for publio journalists to descend to the grossest misrepresentation and abuse with the object of embarrassing the government. Such a course was only calculated to drag politics down into the dirt, instead of elevating them, as should be the aim of every good citizen of the country. No one could condemn a proper desire for office and power. Such aspirations were laudable; but when despicable means were resorted to, it only warned the people of the unfitness of those using them. The hon. gentleman proceeded tu review the promises mado at the general election, and the policy of the government brought into ox- istenco by that election. THE SETTLEMENT BILL was n fair and honorable compromise between the province and the Dominion. Columbia might have continued to insist upon the full measure of what she had been taught to claim as her duo; but, being the weaker against tho stronger, sho might have continued tn demand in vain. The government hnd approached tho Dominion in a spirit of fairness and good faith, with an earnest desire to have all outstanding differences adjusted upon a.basis which, [bile bonelioial to Columbia, mi|*ht unt __ m..._~ --■ wer(j- the terms'of the settlement bill; and if that measure had not resulted in al! the reasonably anticipated good to the province,-it waa because of unexpected dolay on the part of tho Dominion government in giving effect to somo of its important provisions; but it wns obviously unfair to hlante the provincial government for that. Ho admitted, and he regretted to have to do an, that unjustifiable delay 'had occurred in placing (he railway Imida properly in the market and in cortiuiemtiu-- dock construction at Esquimau; but he cuuld assure the [people tlmt the government of whieh he was a member had not, by silence or inaction, consented to thnt delay* .On th* contrary. the Dominion government had beon importuned to fulfil its obligations in thee* as well as in other respects, and it would be found that no effort on the part of tho tirovinoinl government had been spared n Order to souure a faithful and satisfactory carrying out of tlie provisions of the settlement bill, fle was glad to be able to state that tlm latent **s from Ottawa justified the belief that NO riHTHBR UNNRCE8HARY DELAY .mi the part of tlie Dominion govern- anent was likely to occur in fulfilling their part of the terms of settlement. It had been ohargod that the province liaii given everything and received Nothing under tlmt measure. Now, what did the provinco give? Three a:id A half million acres of land in the Peaco river country, lying oast of tho Rocky Mountains. But the province did not surrender its territorial eover* eignty over these acres. They remain as much aa ever an integral part of British Columbia; they are still ours the same as any other lands in the province for all purposes of taxation, revenue, und legislation. The only valuable consideration the province surrenders with respect to these lands is the amount that shall be recoived as the net profit arising from the sale, after defraying the expense of surveying aud administering them—rather a problematical advantage. But, as a set-off oven to that, these lands have been placed in hands able and likely to peoplo and make them revenue- producing to thia province probably a quarter of a century earlier than would be the case were they to wait till the provincial government could successfully administer them; so that it may fairly be said that the province parted with .no valuable consideration in respect of these distant arid inaccessible acres. But we gave away THE GRAVING DOCK. Yea, and received back every dollar improperly squandered upon it, and secured the. completion and operating of it hy the Dominion government without involving any charge upon the provincial revenue. In transferring the dock on these terms, Columbia was the gainer, certainly in no senae tbo loser; and it was by this transaction, this master-stroke, that the provincial government have been enabled to expend so much more than their predecessors did upon uecessary and reproductive public works amongst you. The opponents of the government have a great deal to ssy about what the province gives Canada nnder the settlement bill, although it has just been shown that we really gave little or nothing, but they are silent ahout what we receive, or has been CONCEDED BY CANADA under that measure. Let us glance for a moment at thia feature of the bargain. Take the railway lands alone. Canada has within the railway belt on this side of the Rooky Mountains about 11,600,000 acres, and there is good ground for asserting that it was in contemplation to exact an average price of $5 an aero for these lands- there having -been no restriction as to prifie and ino conditions as .to settlement imposed with respeot .to these landB. But in* making a aattlement with Canada the provincial government succeeded -in. securing this enormous and most valuable concession, that actual settlers on these lands shall only be required to ray one dollar an acre! Taking the! 11 million acres, this represents a gain to the province of $44,- 000,000., To bring it nearer home, one million harm of these lands are estimated to lie on tbe lower Fruer, and thus the settlers on these lands will only have to pay one million dollars into the Dominion treasury instead of five millions. Ia it nothing to have saved to the settlers of the lower Fraser four millions? But you1 are impatient to go to your sports, and I only detain you to again thank you for this | KIND WELCOME and to express the hope that you may have similar gatherings in future years at which your representatives may meet you. to receive your expressions of commendation or censure, according aa their course may be pleauiu otherwise; and I sincerely hope {hat we shall be spared to meet ori" many future occasions under as happy circumstances aa we meet to-day. It is right I should state that the premier waa anxious to be bare to-day; but owing to the absence of the attorney- f;eneral it waa not possible for bim to save. I am sorry he could not have been here in order to receive tho favorable impression respecting our district this gathering is sure to make. After the applause that followed the conclusion of the" hon. gentleman's speech had subsided SCR. CUNNINGHAM rose to reply to the address. He spoke as follows:—Mr. Reeve, gentlemen of the municipal council of Langley, and ladies and gentlemen. ■ Since you have so kindly associated my name both in the invitation, to vour pic-nio and in your address of welcome with my two honorable friends here, I return you my thanks. I nm proud to meet here to-day so many of the electors of the district of New Westminster. I am, of course, not a representative of the district, but I am of the oity of New Westminster (a voice, "and the city is in the district"). Yes the city is in tho district, ana I represent the city, (a laugh). Well, I am only a representative of two months. At the last election the people of T-Tew Westminster thought I was a proper person to repiesent them and they elected me. It is truo I was onlv elected by a scratch (laughter), but I think it was a large scratch. I am not going to detain you with a speech. I am not a politician. I don't mako my living by politics and I don't intend to. I approve of all the acts of the presont government. I believe they are pur* suing A WISE POLICY and I will give them Xm hearty support. With regard to my honorablo friend the Provincial Socivti-ry, whom they oall "Honest John" (l»ud laugh- ter)--well, thoy will myself "Truthful Jnmes" {uproarious laugltior), mid in both cases possibly thu t-piiheta msy jh'nvi) bean appropriately; applied (iv- howed laughter)--~r have watched liis political conduct with-"criiiinyau^ 1 am hnppy in being ttblo to nay t!,nt I see no other mark in his political life hut honesty. I believe ho in putting forth his best ell-ms as a lending member of the present government for tho best interests'and welfare of the whole country, and while I cau see nothing in all his conduct but what I heartily approve as being for the bost interests of the country, and while ho continues to dtt as he haa done, I will follow in hia foutateps and give him my hearty support. 1 believe the interests of tbe city of New Westminster are to a certain extent the interests of the diatrlct, and we are not going to be idle in the city of New Westminster. I expect ways and means will be devised to build tho New Westminster and Port Moody Railway within the next six monthe> But this is a festive occasion, and I shall uot detain you any longer, ns I'see some young men impatient for amusement. This ended the speech- making, and after giving threo cheers for the ''representatives" luncheon was noxt in order; nnd after full justice had lieeh done to that important part of the programme the HORSE RACING AND SPORTS commenced, also dancing, which was kept up with great spirit during the remander of the afternoon. The days' festivities wound up with an amusing tout race of 100 yards for a purse of money between four of the oldest and most decrepid men in Langley. This was a most amusing exhibition and caused convulsions of merrimont. Four patriarchs entered for the race. Mr. George Yorkson won handsomely, and poor old Hr. James Mackie waa last. At 6 o'clook the pic-nic broke up and just as the Provincial Secretary took his seat in the conveyance and waa about starting to leave the ground the people massed round the vehicle and J ave three ringing cheers fur the Hon. uo. Robson. The Provincial Secretary in return asked three cheers and a tiger for the generous people of Langley for their hospitality. A large crowd followed the "representatives" to the steamboat landing and as they went on board three ringing cheers were given for each. J. 0. McD.

On a pleasant, balmy afternoon, in the month of Juno, and the year of grace 1630, old Job Henley, mine host of the "Brown Bear Inn," aat in the shade of a wide-spreading and venerable sycomore, that grew in front of his tavern, in the suburbs of Philadelphia. He sat there ]ust as ho had done hundreds of times beforo, poring over the pages of a sort of ledger, in which were written many BCoreB that, from time to time, had been run up by hia drouthy customers. But, few of these scores would have been intelligible, even to experts in chirography, and when to the original entries were added credits on tho margins or across the face of the accounts or marginal notes or addenda to others, and to still others, moral or religious reflections on the part of the old man, an attempt to decipher them would have proved an almost hopeless task. Only one man could read those entries without difficulty, and that man was the writer of thero, Job Henley, inn keoper "Brown Bear Tavern," Northern Liberties, Philadelphia. (That is the way Job always gave his name, business, and address to the canvassers for the Philadelphia Oity Directory. Job was of medium stature, plethoric of habit, and at most times rubicund of visage; but when moved by great grief or anger, his face assumed (he hue of faded mahogany, in which drab tints had a place. yellowish . and the broad pimples of deep purple, brought thero by a too generous diet, gave to it the appearance of of an artist's palette, with the colon set tor work. But the mouth went far towards redeeming the otherwise unhandsome character of the face. The lipa, when in repose, were scarcely closed, and were curved iu lines that indicated a natural kindness of heart, which his calling had entirely extin- Juished. The great difficulty that ob's nature had to contend with was that he lived in days when even the church recognized the business of rum- selling as respectable, and ministers, and deacons, and members would drink together, aud sometimes get drunk together. A time when it was considered a charity for the keeper of a tavern or ale house, as they were then called, to give back a trifle to his victim's family. Now it ia considered, by most honest persons, dishonest to sell intoxicants, and rumselling is looked on only aa a permission allowed * by a bad law. which time and a more intelligent and humanly educated age or generation will remove from the statute books of all civilized countries. Job Henley's natural disposition may be better understood by his entries of accounts and remarks in regard to them than by anything wo can write. It may be supposed that aome of these entries were marked "paid," somo "good," others "doubtful," some "midling," and some "bad," but of the marginal notes, and moral and religious reflections we can suppose nothing, but must depend for our information entirely on tho undertone readings or musings of Job. as he sits, with his finger guiding his eye along the crooked linea, an occasional smile lighting up his face, or a scowl deepening the shadows, and drawing sharper the furrows over tho oyes and the lines of the mouth, but more frequently than either, a gloomy or pitying expression playing upon his aged features, at times showing that more than ordinary gloomy and painful memories were at work, and passing before life's mirror, were casting their dark but truthful shadows on his now downward path towards tho goal of hia existence. But Job Henley was au inn-keeper of the olden-time clasa, who had acquired titles to houses and lands, and kept a solid bank account, and, at the date of our story, had been engaged in the business Bome forty years of his life. He had begun as landlord of the "Brown Bear Tavern" when under thirty years of age, and had outlived most of thoso who had been his customers both in the'earlier and later daya of his business career. A few of hia 'patrons lie had aeon riae to -wealth and paste of honor in the State or National service, and die honored and respected. Others had lived and died in middling circumstances, beloved and their deaths regretted by those who knew them, But the great majority Job knew had died iii poverty and want, brought about by strong drink, some in poor houses and some in prisons. Two of his early patrons one of them the sou of an old friend and a namesake of Job's, had been ex- euted, the first for mail robbery and the other for murder,—crimes which each acknowledged on the gallows, wero the direct results of rum drink* ing. To say that all these men, whose lives ended thus unfortunately, had contracted their drinking habits at the "Brown Bear," or that all had become confirmed In their habits there, would be to say what was untrue. But Job Henley knew that many of them had, nnd he also knew that if he was nut alone responsible for thcr sad endings, the businoas of rum selling at large waa, and that he had been a large recipient of its profits. He knew too that the account book that he held in his hnnd was more or less a record of their lives, and nn evidence against Ihe honesty and morality of rumselling, from hia first acquaintance with them, until the pour house, the prison, or a pauper's grave ended thoir foolish careers. But Job had not kept,a record alone of the lives thus wasted and ruined. Those few of his customers who had quit their drinking habits, or who had tne strength of mind to restrain or curb thoir appetites, and who, by thrift or industry, had become wealthy, or had risen tu positions of honor, also had a place in his personal histories, whioh ,wore read and re-read by Job Whenever he felt come upon him what he termed his "thinking fits." It ia in une of these thinking*fits tliat we have introduced him to the reader. He has just been wondering what has become uf Will Sweetwater, ! tflf fm tiniid young man Who, on ' tiling his first drink at the bar of the "Brown Bear" was so very much ex 'atfri ihat he oould scarce steady the glass to his lips. He knew that in time Will got so bravely over bis timid ways that he could drink a number of Ma or'brandy ur whiskey of ity. without blushing, and could rfi to ■■• wyateriiig song, do consider- Ha fo tha Way of profanity, and at , time, so rapid had beon his pro- .|fcid1djs * -5 0 U | itl ** to Z Ladner's Landing ....
