Ihe British (tohtmbmn, WfiliM'Mlny HornliiK. Veh. *»» ihhjj. Gladstone and Bismarck. Tn the January nunilier of tho Ohiciigo Current wo fintl tho following nble article from tho fluent pen of W. 0. Bates: "Tlie evil that men do," says the specious Mare Antony —mindful only for tlie reputation of his dear friend—-"lives after thom ; the good is oft interred witli their honeB." A philosophy infinitely deeper and sweeter tells us that Bofore beginning and without an end, As apace eternal and ns surety sure. Is fixed a power divino which moves to good Only its laws endure. It does not seem presumptuous to predict that those who survive the next decade will see this truth approved in the events following the death or retirement from public life of the two statesmen upon whom for these many years the eyes" of Europe have been anxiously fixed— Bismarck nnd Gladstone. The German Chancellor stands upon the threshold of the allotted three-score years and ten, already crossed by the English Premier, while the cables bring us unmistakable evidence that the cares of state tax more and more heavily the growing physical feebleness of both. On the presumptive eve of the withdi-awa-1 of these two potent personal forces from a great struggle it seems specially interesting to consider what the life-work and influence of each has lieen, and how far it is likely to be perpotuated after its source lias ceased to act. Absorbingly important as the events of tho next few months can hardly fail to be, it is not likely that thoy.will indicate any radical departure from the plainly marked policies hitherto pursued by these statesmen, or nny great variation in the general character of the results attained. But after Gladstone, will Gladstone's government survive? Who will rule Germany, Bismarck being gone? Momentous questions, and yet— from the American standpoint, at least — seemingly self answering! For the influence of the individual, however temporarily dominant, permanently avails only in so far as it coincides with the tendencies'of the age, or what Ruskin calls the Hues of Destiny. Certainly between these two it is a question of alternatives. Both can not be in harmony with the spirit of their common age, for their methods as well as 'objects are antipodal. One can readily understand why each has little sympathy with the other, and as readily why Bismarck is the more outspoken in his distrust He is as fascinatingly frank, ns brilliantly unmistakable iu his means as he is autocratic and obstructive in the ends for which he employs them; while Gladstone, liberal and progressive in his aspirations, is necessarily troubled much as to the how, when, and where of realization. Even were he not tho greater intellect, the radical upholder of the empire would naturally be a more impressive and imposing figure than the conservative advocate of tho rights of man. Not the fertile plain but the stern and sterile mountain feeds the eye. Tlio massive simplicity of Bismarck's life-work, its entire self-consistency, leave a much mora definite impression on the mind than the moro diffuse and sometimes experimental efforts of Gladstone. We find him in 1850 as a member of thu Prussian Diet urging increased powers for the monarchy and tho consolidation of the German nationality by joint action with Austria, and his every act from that day to this—the crushing of Austria in 1866 and of France in 1871, tho crowning of King William ns Emperor of Germany at Versailles, tho expulsion of the Catholics in 1872, and his last master stroke for the silencing of the empire's opponents nt home by the creation of interests aud opponents abroad—has shown a deep devotion to the doctrine of the centralization of power. Not Oiesar, Charlemagne, or Richelieu more fervently believed the rights and felicities of their fellowmen could best be conserved by becoming subject to one government, or more determinedly and successfully essayed fchom- solves to lie that government. Well, we know whither tho empires of Oresur, Charlemagne, and lliohelieu went after tho creating and guiding force was gone. The testimony of history seems to lie conclusive ou the improbability of oue pre-eminently gifted and powerful ruler Irting immediately succeeded by nn- The British Columbian VOLUME 27 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1885. NUMBER 16 other ablo to preserve and extend his acquisitions. Greatness cannot be grafted or grown from a bulb. If it is tlie glory and wonder of a man Unit he may rule millions of his kind, it is also a significant commentary on the futility of doing so that a dagger thrust may disintegrate an empire. "But yesterday the word of Oajsar might hive stood against the world: now lies he there, and nono so poor to do liim reverence." Action and reaction itre equal: tho moro abject the thraldom of men to-day, the more resistless will be thoir up-rising to-morrow. Not more inevitably does tho action of gravity tend to level tlie mouutiifns with tlie valleys than the rights of tho many weigh upon the arrogance of the few. But. no dag ger cun assassinate a vitjij'^yincipk*, The irresistible computejnu is tliat which manacles men's winds. Which army is the more permanently potent force, the 3,000,000 ready to be hurled across the Ucrmah frontier at Bismarck's nod or the 2,000,- 000 enfranchised by Gladstone? Which would he in greater danger of dissolution if to-morrow's cables should bring tho news of its leader's demise? Nevertheless, the liberalism in Gladstone's domestic government and his conservatism in England's foreign relations has resulted in depression and distrust at home and contempt and arrogance abroad. Such passing penalty every man pays who appeals to the rationality of his friends and the fairness of his foes. Gladstone has made many minor mistakes, as anyone is likely to who strives to intelligently comprehend and'direct the march of progress, but he has not made the one grand mistake of setting himself to stubbornly oppose it. Commencing his political career as a Peelite of the Peolites, with pronounced High Church views, he becomes anon tin advanced Liberal and advocate of the disestablishment of the Irish Church, and wo find liim now extending the franchise in England, upholding a liberal policy iu Ireland, reconstructing Egyptian relations, seeking safety for the Soudan, establishing a North African protectorate, and undertaking reforms iu India. Some justification here is there in all this for the "meddle and. muddle" sneer of Disraeli, but much more of cheer in the underlying devotion to tho principles of peace and good will toward men. At all events, ifc does not present the melancholy spectacle of a great intellect and overmastering, will imposing upon the Nineteenth Century the autocratic ideals and despotic methods of the Seventeenth. The reflux of that great tidal wave of liberty which inundated tins Western world a- century ago, pouring back over Eastern Europe, bears safely on its swelling bosom the good ship Gladstone, storm-beaten though with all sails set, but hurls itsolf with crashing force and undermining swiftness against, the great rock Bismarck, staudihg starkly up to meet it with Gothic grimness but crumbling foundations.

I noticed that thore wad an old coop of n house on it, but I paid no attention to it, Aftor awlijlo'n mnn came to mo and wanted, to know if I would rent it to liim.

"The firat month lie brought 92, nnd the second month n littlo boy, who said he wns tho man's son, came with $3, After that I saw the man once in awhile, but in the course of time the boy paid the rent regularly, sometimes $2 and sometimes §3.

Well, I just had my daughter oall on thom, and wo keep an eye on them now. I thought I wouldn't disturb thom whilo thoy nro getting nlong.

Orr, junior member for the district of New • Westminster, voted ngninst the gov-; eminent on the Conl Hurbdr extension scheme. It hns been pretty well known for some time thnt Mr. Orr had become nn Adulliiinite nnd could not he counted upon in an emergency, It is certainly unfortunate for Ins own political prospepfcs that his opposition to the government should hnve shown itself upon a question of such vital importance to the district he represents. It must 1» apparent to every person thnt if the agreement between the govornment and tlio CP.lt. syndicate had failed, the prospects of this district for the next two or three years at least must hnve heen extremely diacournging. We shall not he surprised to find tlint a very large majority of Mr. Orr's constituents heartily disapproved his vote last Saturday. Nettled at Lust. On Friday tlie squatters' committee presented its second report. This ' report differed not much from the lirst, except thnt it expressed no opinion whatever on the claims of Messrs. Walls, Green, Humphreys, aiid Henderson, since the validity of the Indian conveyance had been wiled in question. The report recommends that the squatters on Hastings Mill Co.'s lease be compensated for improvements, nnd tho same recommendation is given in the case of those located by the immigration agent. It will be observed that in no case does this report recommend thnt these squatters should have their lands. A supplementary report wns also presented by, a minority of the oommittee stating that the committee wns not a proper tribunal for such an enquiry—a fact 'which The Comedian pointed out when tlie committee was first struck. After some discussion lioth reports were adopted. The agreement between the government and 0. P. H. syndicate wns then taken up and discussed at length, nnd on Saturday it wns finally ratified on a division of IG to 7, ns folows: Yeas, Smithe, A. E. B, Davie.. Robson, Drake, Martin, Dingwall, Dunsmuir, Wilson- Raybould, Pooley. T. Davie, Cunningham, McTavish, Oowlih, Grant, Duck. Nays;' Heaven, Galbraith, Orr, Helgesen, McLeese, Semlin, John. This settles the question and relieves the province from n suspense thnt was paralyzing every business and industry except that of professional politician. We ure very glad that the result, so long delayed, has been in accordance with the true interests of the country. Aimlo-Saxou Federation. Some time ago an article on (lie subject of a confederation of the . English-speaking race appeared in The Cou'miuan, in which the naturalness and some of the great benefits of ■ such a federation were pointed out. It is a subject, we are glad to say, which has comtnnnd- ed considerable attention during the last few years both in Britain and Amtrica, and there seem to be very few serious obstacles in tlie way of its accomplishment. Lately this subject wns brought before the public afresh through the New York Tribune in a very remarkable letter from Mr. Gladstone, who nover seems too busy to concern himself nbout living issues. Mr. (■'. \\V. Smnlley, London correspondent of tbe Tribune (and who is Mr. Gladstone's intimate friend), happened to bo in Scotland when Mr. Gladstone wns making his celebrated tour through that country, und the two men met at a certain house. The company were discussing "great men," when somebody expressed the opinion tlmt in these days people did not cherish ns much reverence for noble characters as formerly, and the reason assigned wus that thore were no characters now that called forth the reverence of the 'people. Mr. Gladstone dissented and said: "If you look back over the period within the memory of the oldest of you, you will find it rich in men, who deserve and who have received the deep respect and reverence of tlieir contemporaries. To tike but oue example, there is Oobden. I do uot know that there is in any period a man whose publio career and life were nobler or more admirable than Cob- den's." Then, interrupting himself, and looking across the table to me, Mft OlwUtone uidt "Of course, I except Washington. Washington to my iiiiud is Ihe purest figure in history." Home time afterwards Mr.'ifimalloy wrote Mr. Gladstone ashing permission to make use of the conversation. Mr. Gladstone assented without hesitation and in his reply made some statements that are worthy of being, everywhere repeated. Referring to Washington he snid : "When I first read in detail the life of Washington 1 was profoundly impressed with the moral elevation and greatness of liis character, antl J found myself nt a loss to name among the statesmen of any age or country many, or possibly any, who could be his rival. In saying this I menu no disparagement to the class of politicians, the men of my -own craft and cloth, whom, in my own land and my own experience,* I hnve found no less worthy than other men of love and of admiration. I could name among them those who seem to me to come near even to him, Hut I will shut out tlie last half century from tho comparison. I will then say that if among all the pedestals supplied by history for public characters of ex- trnordinnry nobility and purity I saw one higher than all the rest, und it' I were required nt a moment's notice to name the fittest occupant for it, I think my choice at any time during the lust forty- five yeurs would have lighted, and it would now light, upon Washington." This is surely high praise from a mun of Mr. Gladstone's accomplishments, a man who is not in the habit of paying indiscriminate compliments. Having paid this tribute to the character of the founder of the American nation, Mr. Gladstone proceeds to touch upon tho Anglo-Saxon federacy. This question he says, "is so interesting as to be almost overwhelming," and he adds: "Mr. Burham Zinoke, no incompetent calculator, reckons that the English-speaking peoples of tho world a hundred years hence will probably count a thousand millions. Some French author, whose name I unfortunately forget, in a recent estimate, places them somewhat lower; at what precise figure I do not recollect, but it is like GOO or tfOO millions. A century backJ suppose they were itot much, if at all, beyond fifteen millions; I also suppose we may uow take them at a hundred These calculations are not so visionary as they may seem to some; they rest upon a rather wide foundation, while the best they can pretend to is rough approximation. But, as j recollect, it was either 1 inlay, or one of those with whom the name of that creature is associated, that computed, a century bnck. the probable population of the American Unioil at this date, and placed it very nearly at the point where it now.-stands. What a prospect is that of very many hundreds of millions of people, certainly among the most manful and energetic in the world, occupying one great continent, I may almost say two, and other islands and territories not ensy to bo counted, with these islands at their head, the most historic iu the world. In contact, by a vast commerce, with all mankind, and perhaps still united in kindly political association with some more hundreds of millions fitted for no mean destiny. United almost absolutely in blood and language, nnd very largely in religion, laws, and institutions. If anticipations such as tliese nre to be realized in nny considerable degree the prosr pect is ut once majestic, inspiring, aud consolatory. The subject is full of meaning und of power; of so much meaning that tho pupil of the eye requires time to let in such a flood of light. I hope that some person more competent and less engaged tlinu myself will give this subject the study it deserves; taking his stand ou tho facts of the last century, mul the promise of the coming one. I cannot but. think ns well as hope that a gotal understanding, 'in the future near and far, among English-speaking peoples, though it mny not be a matter of certainty, yet is lieytmd the necessity of going a-begging, so to speak, for recommendations from any individual, earnestly nnd with my whole heart ns I, for one, should recommend it.. Clearly if the English-speaking peoples shall then be anything like what we have now been supposing, aud if there shall not be a good understanding among thom, tliere will have been u base desertion of an cosy duty, a renunciation of the noblest and most beneficial, tho most peaceful primacy ever presented to the heart and understanding of mnn. On the other hnnd, great ns it would be, it would demand no propaganda, no superlative ingenuity or effort; it ought to be an orderly and natural growth, requiring only that you should be reasonably truo and loyal to your traditions and we to ours. To gain it will need no preter-huinan strength or wisdom; to miss it will require some portentous degeneracy. Even were ii a daydream it would be au imposing one, because it implies no strife or bloodshed, and is full only of the moral elements of strength." Many people will regret that Mr. Gladstone's advanced age and the cares of state which press so heavily upon lum shut out the possibility of liis undertaking the formation of the Anglo-Saxon federation. By uo other hands could the task be more acceptably performed; and it would be a fitting achievement with which lo crown a grand life spent in the service of the state.

Allen, kilo pastor of thu Reformed Episcopal church in this city, seems to havo a clear apprehension of the principles of Christian brotherhood and fellowship inculcated in the New Testament. Our readers are 'already aware thut Mr. Allen has resigned the rectorship of St. Paul's, and is about to leave tlie city. 'Last Sunday being his last Sunday in the city, in the morning ho preached 111 the Methodist church, in tho afternoon he visited and assisted iu the Baptist church services, aud he preached in the Presbyterian churcli in the ovening. Besides this he preached during the day at both the hospital and gaol. We need not add that Mr. Allen is a gentleman of broad Christian views and sympathies who eau rise abovo the petty peculiarities of denominational ism und extend the hand of Christian brotherhood to all whom ho finds engaged in the Master's work. We think it is a pity thnt ei renin stances should have arisen to separato him from Iub Into congregation, for- there is much need in this province for nll workers who aim at the -evangelization as well as moral elevation of the people1. Mr.* Allen has also been au earnest worker in the field of temperance reform, and will he missed by not n few of our citizens. ' —.-—1—«»< - What Does it Mean 1 -Elsewhere thoro appears nn advertisement .from the Dominion government agent calling for tenders for tho ereotion of an engine house at the "'North Bend," on the Fraser river, uu'd titsu for the erection of an engine house nt Port Moody. North Bend is situated too near the interior to exalte interest here; but the proposition to build nn engine house at Port Moody, lifter Coal Harbor and English Bay have been officially declared the termini, is strange, to say the least. It would seem us if tho company do not propose to extend tho line for an indefinite pu- riod. An explanation is certainly due. —Victoria CWnt'sc. There aro two ways in which this question which per- ploxes the 'Colonist may bu explained. The railway company may have concluded that an engine house will bo required at Port Moody as well as at the Coal Harbor terminus ; and as the construction of this house is a part of the government's agreement with the syndicate it will be built, of course, as a government work.. Or tenders may have been asked for the purpdse of ascertaining how muoh the engine house f MOMHF-MBEI _Ki Hlanlratfil nrlllife E», A Ml supply N«W*m ton* i rrirm A tVs., Mle-ttes** tot Islalaftd. at « f li. r»f». , -'•, »«• Asylum. — From of the provincial 1784 we' gather tho 'trring th_o ye'aHhCro into the institution 11 0 wero mules and 2 'ore 7 discharged and ft the actual increaso of, ing the yenr amounted to number remaining at. tho year waa 51.

Opium Srizuhe.—Sovoral days ago a mun by tho name of Stephen Ring, a resident of Victoria, called on a wholesale Chinese firm in that city, and ordered $600 worth of prepared opium. This was in the evening. When tho drug was dealt out to hiin he presented ns payment two checks ou one of the local bunks, ono for $500 and the other for $200. For the $600 in checks Ring received 50 pounds of opium and disappeared. Tho next day the Chinaman look the checks to the bank, only to find that they were worthless. In the meantime the white mart was making tracks for the American side with his contraband goods, and arriving ut Whatcom took the Washington for Seattle. Just before the Washington nrrived from Whatcom the Oeorge E. Starr came in from Victoria, bringing, among other passengers, the Chinaman who had been swindled by the opium purchaser. About 4 o'olock the Chinaman and white man met, and tlio former at onco demanded the $000 or the opium. Ring denied having the opium, and declared he had no money. About this time Officer Gardner appeared on tho scene, nnd while the Chinaman was rushing about town looking for a place to swear out papers ui>aiust Ring, Mr. Gardner wns getting from him u statement of the wholo Affair, which corroborated the Chinaman's story. After being satisfied that everything was us represented, the officer accompanied the man to his room at the Wisconsin house, and there found the opium, which Ite at onco took possession of. The man wns immediately arrested and examined before United States Commissioner Smith, who bound him over in the sum of $300, iu default of whioh he was Bent to jail. The Victoria Chinaman, ns well as his heathen friends on this side of the water feel very much disgusted nt the turn affairs have taken, und declare that they should either have the opium or the money returned to them.—Seattle Post, Perjun or Forgery! The evidence given by Mr. McTiernan before the squattera' claims committee confirms his previous statements, tho substance of which has been made public through The Columbian. Mr. McTiernan wob shown the document which he is said to have witnessed, purporting to convey to Spinks the right and title of the Indians Charley and Jim iu these lands. He said :— "The document shown me is not tho document that was signed in* my presence, nor is the signature mine. I am quite positive that I never signed my name to tho document, produced i, e., the deed purporting to be from the Indian to Spinks, dated 23rd June, 1884. I am quite sure thnt I never signed my namo to a document of that kind. When Greer came to-my ofllce he had a document prepared, and I am almost certain that it is now in my offico ; I think I could get it. I admit that tho signature is much liko my own, * * * There was n document presented to me by Greer that I refused to sign. I-objected to sign it because niy name was in tha body of the document, und I considered it made mo a partner to the bargain. After I refused to witness I told him to writo one himself, aud ho wrote one out. It was signed by the Indian and Greer -took it away with him. Tho document which I did witness was written by Greer himself, und in my presence. I don't know who wrote thu body ol the instrument shown to me. The ti ret look I gave whon Walls showed it to mo I knew thut it was not mine—by tlie general appearance of the document, the seal and the paper- that I hnd not signed it. I nrrived at the conclusion by the general appearance, first glance, that> I had not witnessed it. Afterward* I examined the signature carefully. I then came to the,conclusion that it was much like mine, except that it is better thnn I generally writo .my name. I told Greer that the Indian had no title or interest in the place he lived on, but if he wanted to sell his improvements he might do so. The instrument I witnessed is written on bjue paper, well lined. At the time he (Charley) came to mo ut my placo, he told Greer "it is only my house, my fence, my potatoes, my stove and my trees," and these things were enumerated in tho document I witnessed. It was Spinks' name that appeared in the document. Greer said he did not want any land, as he know the Indian had no title to it, but if he purchased the improvements it would assist him to buy the laud from the government. I um positive, because if he wrote une word about land in the body of the document I would not sign it. I do not remember ever to have seen the Indian Jim, whose name appears iu the deed, in my life. I do not give the Indians permission to dispose of their land- I did not send a letter to the Indian to appear before me, I did not ask the Indian if he would sell his|land. I remember the conditions of the bargain, Charles has lived there only 3A yoars. I am positive it is not moro tban 4 years. I wrote Powell in November because Greer had beon to mo with a document purporting to assign tho Indians' right, title and interest 111 improvements. The document did not purport to Convey land. I dealt with it the way I dealt with the (irst one brought to me. I knew tho Indian could not sell land us the land did not belong to him. I could not assent 'to him selling what did not belong to him. I never told Greer that I would hnve any arrested that trespassed on the Indians' laud—that is, the -land suid to hu occupied by thom outside of the reserve. I nevor told Greer to purchase the rights of any Indians, cither Charley or niijLothers, I never told Greer that theso Indians wero uot .placed on a reservation. The writing on the paper occupied about hnlf the sheet of foolscap. I can't tell whether the remainder of the paper was torn offornot. I don't romemner whether the piper was folded or not when the Indian signed it. After the sale I wrote to tho Indian telling him thut having sold his improvements to Greer hu should not trouble him. I -did this at Greer's request, and ou his rupreaiMituv tion that the Indian was troubling him. Jim's name wus in the body of the document drawn by Greer, but was not signed by him whon I witnessed it. I only witnessed Charley's signature," Charley, the Indian, was also examined, aud wo take the following extract from Ins ovideuce : -'Greer wrote the papor, nnd I signed it, Greer wrote tho , paper; McTiemnn saw it written. Thu paper 1 sinned wns one-, fourth iho size of a sheet of foolscap. I only signed mm paper. There were nus.-aWort it. [Deed dated 23rd June shown to" him.] Ho says: I never signed that, paper; it was signed with black ink." Tlwlfcbve evidence, it seems toils, Butliciontly confirms tho charge of lor* gory, and it Is now proper to inquire, who forged tho document / Wo ' may havo some comments to offer on the evidence in our noxt issue, The Scott Acl. A correspondent at Sumas asks if it would be too much to publish tho Scott Act in The Columbian for genoral information. The act would ckj- cupy mure of our space than is ut present available. Mr. F. B. Stratton, of Modoc, Ont., has prepared u brief summary of the principal provisions of the act, however, and, perhaps, this may answer the purposo of our Sumas correspondent. The summary is as follows: "What territory must be covered by any one petition ?" A city or county, or a group of them taken together. The Act says, that the word "county" includes every town, township, parish, and other division or municipality, except a city, within ita territorial limits, and also a union where united for municipal purposes. "Whnt does the phrase "Intoxicating Liquors," as prohibited *by the Aet, mean ?" It comprehends any and every spirituous or malt liquor, and every wine, and auy and evory combination of liquors or drinks that is intoxicating. "What proceedings must be taken for bringing the Aet in force?" 1.— Petitions securing one fourth of the bona fide eleetors in the constituency submitting the Act, who have a right to voto for au M.P., must be secured. 2.—A deposit of the names shall be al the Sheriff's office, or that of the Registrar of Deeds, for the county or city, for publia examination, for ten days, and a previous notice of such deposits must have been given two weeks, iu two newspapers, 3,—A notico of said petition, and evidence that it has the requisite number of genuine signatures, must be laid before the Secretary of State, and in case he is satisfied that it has the number of "genuine signatures" then His Excellency in Council may issue a proclamation to be inserted three times in the Canada Gazette, and also in the Official Gazette of the province where the voting is to be held, setting forth the number of signatures, day on which the poll is to be taken, Ac, Ac. . 4.— Within two weeks after polling of votes notice must be given to the Secretary of State of the result, and if a majority of the votes cast favor the adoption of the Act, then, after the expiration of sixty days from the day in whieh the Act was adopted by Order in Council, as published in Gazette, the Guvernor- General may declare the Aot to be in forco, and to take effect at the time of expiration ef licenses then in force, provided thero bo ninety days inter- veiling, if not that period then at tho expiration of the licenses for the following year. 5.—No repeal of the law cun be hud under three years from the time of its adoption. Having briefly noted the course of procedure in order to the adoption of the Aot, I will next endeavor to answer the question "How dues it Prohibit ?" From the day in which the Aot comes into force in any county or oity, no person, unless as herinnfter provided, shnll by himself, his clerk, servant or agent, expose or keep for sale, directly or indireeotly, pr on any pretence or device, sell or barter, or in consideration of the purchase of any other property, give to any other person, any .spirituous li* quors, wine, ale beer, porter, cider, or ether vinous or fermented liquors. .

"'EditorColumbun.—The correspondence relative to tho appointment of the resident physician for tho asylum for tho insane and medical officer to the hospital aud also the gaol lias been made public and shows two facts very plainly: 1st, The position was obtained hi a most discreditable and unprofessional manner; 2nd, The point taken in the letter of dismissal to me, viz,, that tho change was made "solely on the ground of economy" is not sustained, as the following statement shows: Snlnry of present medical oflicer to asylum, Hospital ana ruo! , 83300 00 Free lodgings, fuel nnd llgtti, cqunl m lo 500 00 Telephone service, 3 InHlruments, 144 00 Total «31HO0' Undor tho old arrangement: Medical ofltcor to" hospital. 3 (MM " " asylum 400 < " " gaol 400 ( Total J1300 00 Increase under new arrangement...»1844 00 The question now to be answered Is this: Is any benefit obtained by having one medical oflicer for the three institutions, and if so, is tt equal to the largely increased amount paid for it? A dis* criminating publia no doubt will answer it. C. N. Tmw. [Dr. Trew, iu all his correspondence on this subject, persists in stating the case unfairly. We have already pointed out that It had been determined by the government, with the consent of the house, on the recommendation of professional meu, tliat tliere should lie a resident physician for the asylum. The carrying out of this determination must of necessity hiorease the annual charges for the institution, because the resident physician would 1» required to abstain from outside practice. It was surely nn economic arrangement, therefore, to place all tho government institutions mi- der the medieal care of the resident physician, If he had been confined to the asylum, the government would still havu had to nrovido medical officers for the hospital uud gaol at au animal coat of 3000, und by placing all the institutions under oue ollicer the $KM) a year is unquestionably saved to the province.- With respect to the manner in which the appointment was obtained, we are of opinion-that if Dr. Trew knew all the facts he 'might come to a very dillercut conclusion.—tin,] A Goon Rkookd.—Among the many thoiuuud htttlcs of Hagyanl's Yellow oil Bold annually in Canada, uot one hn aver failed to give satisfaction, lt cures rheumatism, colds, and ull painful ei plaints aud injuries.

Korti, Feb. 17.—Advices from Abu- Klea, near ('ubat, state that small outpost affairs occur daily. The enemy is receiving guns and reinforcements from Khartoum, and Kl Mahdi has ordered all the tribes iu the vicinity to assemble immediately and attack tho British forces at that point. Gen. Gordon's trusted messenger,. George, has arrived at Abu Klea. He says almost all native accounts agree that Gen. Gordon finding himself betrayed made a rush for the magazine, near the Catholic mission buildings. Finding the rebels already iu possession he returned to government house and was killed while trying to reenter. The rebels were admitted 'to Khartoum at 10 o'clock on the night of the 26th January, Another account says that Gen, Gordon rushed towards the magazine, intending to explode it, and thus prevent the ammunition, of which there were several tons, falling into the hands of the enemy. The Arabs quickly realized Ills intention and shot him dead. Shanghai, Feb. 18.—Advices say that property has depreciated within the post -year 512,000,000, owing to the Franco- Chinese war. LonnoN, Feb. 18.—Reports from Abu Klea dated the evening of the 13th state that Gen. Butler announced his intention to evacuate his position near Gubat and withdrew his forces to Abu Klea wliich is a better strategic point. After rendering Gordon's two steamers useless by , removing the machinery, the whole force started 011 the 14th across the desert and arrived at Abu Klea to-day withoi't firing a shot. The men aro cheerful. They prefer walking to camel riding. The 'reason for the abandonment of Gubat was an advance made by Kl-Mahdi with 0,000 rebels from Omdurman towards Gubat aud retreat was ordered wheu the main body of the Arabs was 30 miles off, but an advance guard of 3,000 men with five cannons -was within seven miles of the British lines. Gen, Butler had less than 2,000 men all told. San Fbancisco, Feb. 18.—Associated Eress Yokohama advices say: It is firmly elleved iu Japanese government circles that the indemnity which Corea has agreed to pay Japan for the attack made by the Chinese soldiers on the Japanese minister and troops at Seoul Palace and the burning of the Japanese legation on the night of Deo. Oth, will lead to war between China and Japan. The Japanese are highly indignant at tho action of the Chinese, and insist on tliat country yielding full satisfaction for its share in the attack on Japanese troops and legation, tf a compromise is not reached war will ensue. London, Feb. 19.-It is announced that iu view of the fall of Khartoum and the death of Gen. Gordon having rendered the main object of Wolseley's expedition impossible, the government haa deemed it expedient to change the whole 6Ian of the campaign in the Soudan, rackenbury, who succeeds Karle, has been ordered to abandon his advance on Berber, and to concentrate Ids troops at Korti. General Butler, who evacuated Gubat on the 13th, and withdrew his forces to Abu Klea, has also been ordered to fall back on Korti. All the available troops in Wolseley's command will be concentrated at that place, at Debbeh and at Korosko, the main body lying at Korti. Queenstown, Feb. 19.—Orders were received at the naval station here tonight to send assistance tp the Foonah, the transport on which the Canadian voyageurs were brought from Alexandria, and from which they were about to be transferred to the Hanoverian for their voyage home. A gunboat carrying a strong force of marines and Infantry was at once dispatched to the jtid of the Poonoli. All information as to the nature of the trouble wm refused by the officials, and there is an evident desire to have the facts suppressed. It is al- lend that the voyinura bec-une iutawk* tfbte and showed signs of mutiny, and that the officers of the Poonah, having only a small number of marines ou board, were compelled to call for assistance to quell the outbreak. . London, Feb. 19.—General Butler's retreat from Gubat is considered at the War Office to have been inevitable aud to be a most fortunate escape. General Botler will retch Gakdul Wells to-day, aud will return with his entire force to Korti. Tlie ministerial speeches in parliament yesterday conceal the true situation in the Soudan. Lord Wolseley has applied for reinforcements on then ite, and it is reported that he wants 2,000 English troops to try to march from Korosko across the desert upon Abu Hammed, whero Gen. Braokenbury has been ordered to remain until a simultaneous advance with General Graham's force from Suakim can be made upon Berber. Should Kl Mahdi threaten Don- ila, Lord Wolseley will retire to Deb- ib. It Is feared that the appearance of I Mahdi near Dongola would lead to a general uprising iu his favor in Nubia and Upper Kgypt. Tlie Egyptian troops are echeloned between Assowan and Wady Haifa. The disaffected tribes are ready at any moment to declare for El Mahdi. The tint batallion of the Coldstream Guards, 840 in number, have ■farted for Suakim. They left Wellington barracks armed. There were pathetic scenes of leave-taking with relatives and friends who had assembled in force. Madriu, Feb. 19.— Owing to the spread of a report throughout Spain that Kngland desires to enlist Spaniards in the Egyptian service, a Csrlist general hu offered the legation of 4,000 volunteers. LoHDON, Feb. 19.- Sir Stafford North- cote's motiou for a vote of cemure against the government is skilfully worded and meets with the approbation of a section of the Liberals. A number of the government's supporters wilt bo absent on the occasion nf a division on this motion. The fate of the ministry depends upon the decision of the Irish party ss to whioh sido they will support, or whether they will abstain from voting. Kauri, Feb. 20,—The night attack on Gen, Butler's force* whilo ou retteat from Gubat toward Korti was 1111.de by a party of Arab flhnrp-ahflotcrs estimated to number about 400. The Arabs tired at long range, and the UritUb soldier* shielded themselves ns well as lhey could behind their hastily constructed en trench ments. NA serious attempt was made to return tlie enemy's fire owing to the necessity ofl husbanding ammunition. On the Biitish side two men were killed and eleven wounded. Among tbe latter Is ClUw. Williams, correspondent of the London GkMtticlc. Gen. Butler erected throe new forts smi was preparing for o seige. Ho lute despatched a messenger tolOen. Wohk-tey describing the tiituu- tich as (ifitical, snd stating that El Mahdi is advancing on his position with uu immense force. The nntv correspondents now left with Gen. Bullet are Mr. Williams, aud Mr. Budleigh of tlie London Telegraph, wounded In the actiou near Gubat, In whioh Gen. Stewart was shot. ton nan, Feb. 99.—Iu tho Lords today Karl Granville presented the Queen's message calling out the reserves and ordering the embodiment of- the militia in virfw of tbe necessity of defence in Egypt ani the protection of the interests oTtfie Kmpire. The message consists of two portions, one ordering out tliu reserves, the other calling out the ml litis. The reserves are soldiers who hava completed thtlr lirst term of seVvice (ft years) with their colors, and are then allowed to re { i?.IoaoI»™m ■"•• They an always liable to be summoned in esse of emergency to serve another term of six years. 1 his action has created a profound sensa- tioRvud » general feeling of alarm re- sp«««g th* safety of not only the forces °J, {*«• "frfe. but also those under Mdwlevanittraokro-bury. The opinion hi ^widefr upnwd that tbo War office has, reeAvefC mote startling Information from Wolseley than that conveyed in the telegram this afternoon in relation to Butler being hemmed in at Abu Ktca wells. It is noticed that tlie ijuautity of ammunition and projectiles uow under process of manufacture and preparation at Woolwich arsenal for transport to Kgypt is greater than the quantity sent out.of the country during tho entire Crimean war. This fact induces the belief that tlie government is preparing for a loug campaign. London, Feb. 20.—The Marquis of Hsrtington stated .that Prince Hassan had been appointed Governor-General of Soudan at the suggestion of Gen. Lord Wolseley. Prince Hassan would be under tlie authority of Lord Wolseley. The Marquis alse stated that the government expect that Lord Wolseley will to-day havo received one volume of Gen. Gordon's diary. Tlie remaining volumes, believed to be five in number, were on ttio way from Gpbat to Korti. Korti, Feb. 20.-Gen. Sir Herbert Stewart, who was wounded at the battle of Abu Klea, died on the 10th at Gakdul Well, to which place ho had been removed. London; Feb. 21.—The enthusiasm of tlie London populace for a vigorous prosecution of the war iu the Soudan reached a culmination to-day, on the occasion of tlie departure of tlie Scots guards from the capital. At Westminster bridge, tho Prince of Wales, accompanied by his daughter, wob waiting to bid the Guards God speed. Tbe Prince signalized tlie event by appearing in the uniform of the guards. He addressed thorn briefly, encouraging thom to high endeavor, and expressed hope that tne necessity of their absence from England might be of brief duration. The royal party remained while the guards embarked upon the steamer to take them to Grareaend, Berlin, Feb. 21.—Bulletin says: London rumors are current here to-day of a serious disaster to the force of General Butler, entrenched at Abu Klea Welle, but neither tlie war office nor any of tlie several news agents have any confirmed report. Lonhon, Feb. 21.—The Evening News says it is asserted that the guards ostensibly dispatched to the Soudan are destined to land at Kuviacho and thence to proceed tb Afghanistan. It says: "This report, if true, forms England's reply to Russia's advauce to Herat." London, Feb. 21.—The papers make much of the account published in the Times that there is great danger of a conflict between Kussians on Afghan outposts. The trouble arises over a disputed territorial boundary. London, Fob, 23.—Tho Marquis of Lome publishes a lotter in tlie Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon in which he deprecates a British advance against Khartoum, now that Gordon is dead. Tlie British, tho Marquis contends, should be satisfied to take up a position on tlie Nile to btock Kl Mahdi from advancing 011 lower Egypt. London, Feb. 23.—A number of dis- SAches from General Gordon to the onie Government in regard to the situation of affairs at Khartoum previous to tlie surrender of that city, are published to-day. They were written on November 4th, Gen. Gordon declined to agree with the home authorities that the expeditiou under Lord Wolseley was for tbe purpose of rescuing him, but was, ho rays, designed to rescue the garrison at Khartoum. On December 18th he wrote the following: "How many times have I written, asking for reinforcements, but my letters have never bean answered. Hero are iny gallant men, weary with this long waiting for assistance and failure to receive aiy word of encouragement, which would lead them to expect help shortly. While you cat, drink and rest in good beds, we are always fighting." it appears from letters dated Dec, Uth, that Gordon never, said, "I can hold out for years," as liad boon nab. llshed, but on the contrary declared that food was scarce, and relief should be sent him at once. Gordon further wrote: "Litpton Dey has surrendered. I have seat out sobrcs of messages in all directions during the last eight months. Do not send private letters to me; the risk is too great. Do not write me in cipher. The Mahdi knows'every thing. Take tbe road from Abullot to Metemneh; you need not fear El Mahdi. Both Groek Consul and Austrian Consul are safe. The Mahdi lias captured a letter from the Kiug of Abyssinia to me, Yoar expedition as I understand, is for the re* lief of the garrison at Khartoum, which I failed to accomplish. I decline to admit that it is for the rescue of me personally." A letter from General Gordon, dated September Oth, contains the following statements; "We have sufficient money and provisions hoie at Khartoum te last four months; at the expiration of thst period We shall be much embarrassed. Although we wrote you, It was impossible to send Col. Stewart to Berber, on account of many tilings whicli occurred here. We afterwards saw fit to send htm, together with French and English Consuls, in a small steamer, to Dongola, to communicate with the British com- maudcr there concerning tbe Soudan, We detailed two large steamers to accompany them to Berber, to keep the way clear for them to pass by Berber towards Dongola. How many times have we written, asking for reinforcements, aud calling your serious attention to the Soudan, and no answer came." General Gordon also instructed the messenger sent from Khartoum, Dec. Uth, to deliver the following message to Lord Wolseley: "Dont't scatter your troops; bring plenty of troops; enemy numerous; we stilt hold Omdurman. El Mahdi's lines are beyond Muusho. The Mahdi, twu mouths ago, attacked Omburman anil disabled one of our steamers. We disabled one of their guns. The fighting was renewed on the south side three days later. The relicts were again re- Etilsed, Co.ie quickly, Dont leave erber in your rear; keep enemy in your front. Don't let rumors of your approach spread." JfOKpOX, Feb. il.—Latest advices from the Soudan state thst hostile Arabs re- umicircil at Abu Klea ou the night of tho Klih lust., ami wero disperse'! by a few rounds from Gen. Butler's Gardner guns. This Intelligence, whicli is conveyed iu n dispatch dated Abu Klen, Feb. 20th, also contains n statement that Arabs taken nrisonera liy Gen. Both stated that Kl Mahdi has returned to Khartoum. LoMtoN, Feb. 24.—A bluo hook concerning Egypt contains a telegram received iu September which gives a summary of letters sent by General Gordon ou various dates, from April 21 to July HI, 1S8-1. In theso General Gordon says: "Let ilie relief expedition follow the right bank of tlie Nile from Wndy Haifa to Berber, in the hopo of surprising Berber. If you liud.it impossible to follow tlie Nile route take tlie Massewah-Trinkitat Kassala rond. I would not leave Khartoum if 1 could." On August 24th General Gordon wrote to the English naval commander at Mnssowah : "We have fivo months' provisions. I hope to get moro. Our country's role has not been very noble in Egypt or tlio Soudan." London, Feb. S3.—The Burton-Cunningham case was ndjourned until Monday next at tho request of Poland, solicitor for tho treasury. Poland said that at ttie noxt hearing the Crown would produce au entirely new branch of testimony against both Cunningham aud Burton, llio prosecution was receiving, he said, fresh ovtdonco against the prisoners every day, and the police were kept busy investigating It. YESTERDAYSJIESPATCHES iAfoeial fo-fteOifoflMM.) Korti, Feb. 24.-Gen. Brackenbnry expects to reach Aim Homed to-morrow. Gen. Davis with 3,000 troops arrived at Suakim to-day. LoKpox, Feb. 24.—Tiio navy estimates for 1886 are £12,398,500. This is intended to meet ordinary expenses nnd provide for the construction of 73 new ve?sels, including II ironclads. St. Paul, Feb. 24.—The legislature has adopted a high license liquor law, fixing $500 as the figure. London, Feb. 24.—The arrival of Gen. Brackenbury'a column at Abu Homed will be an important event in tho campaign since there will then for a few weeks at least be a posaible line of communication with KoroBko, abovo the second cataract. This line Ib 235 milea long, and there is only one point at which water is found, but steps will be token to forward stores of water to El Murad in advance, and by forced camel marches the distance can be covered in fl days, At best this Hue will be an indifferent one, but anything is preferable to the isolation of the past few days. ■ — ■•■ Useful to Know.—Everyone should know that Hagyard's Yellow Oil will give prompt relief; applied externally will stop any pain; and taken internally cures colds, asthma, croup, sore throat, and most inflammatory complaints. The Dynamite Flendlshness. There ought tow no room for misunderstanding in this matter. This is not war, War is waged by one organized body against another organized body. The warring parties have a clearly formulated issue. The aggressor makes a demand nnd fights to enforce it. If he is successful, he oan be treated with, his demand granted, nnd peace secured. His destructives are directed against the. armed forces of his opponent. As little injury as possible is inflicted on the unarmed and defenceless. If the bombardment of a town is necessary, notice is given that non-combatants may escape. War is horrible; but it is open, brave, honest. In this case thero is no organization; no claim is presented toEnglaudby •any responsible body; tliere is no one with whom England could treat, if she desired to do bo; the. attack is made not upon armed forces, but upou defenceless women and children; uot upon forts, but upon public buildings; not by open enemies, but by secret as- sassius. This is not war; it is assassination. It is uot Ireland against England; it is barbarism ufainst civilization. And we cannot rest in selfish security in our own homes, thinking that we are in uo danger. The noxt explosion may be in New York, Chi* cago, or Cincinnati.— N, Y. Christian Union.
