Wednesday Morning, Nay 19, ISMi. current Events and Opinions. On the liquor question thoro ara sheering ; signs of an improvement in public opinion. We note with interest the debate in the local liouae, oh; the lfi'thrul'., on the pie- sentntion of an influential petition by the member for New Westminster far tlie closing of saloons from 7 p.m. on Saturdays till G tail, on Mondays, though wo cannot but think it a deeply regrettable circumstance that the government is wanting" ih thc ' courage to bring in a measure to enforce so salutary a rule. Surely, in a matter which affects public morality in so eminent a degree, it is the govornuieut whicli should take the lead, even though its members may run tbe paltry risk of alienating at so critical n moment ns the present their bur-keepingconstituents. The' arguments, if such indeed they can be, culled, brought forward by the member for Yale . against such legislation are at once .fallacious and absurd. To begin with, it is, unfortunately, entirely untrue that in the upper sections of the mainland people are in the habit of travelling long distances, habitu ally at all events, for the purpose of ittinding Divine worship. Such cases nre rare in the extreme, and if. they should happen to occur tbe traveller in question would be the last man in the world to avail himself of the open saloon. It would be far truor to say that very many persons who happen to be detained by their business over u Sunday in a place where there hippens to be a church, and whose will nnd intention are good to attend it, are very trts- qiiently prevented from so doing by succumbing to tlie temptation's wliich the saloon ollrji's, being forced against their own weak wills so to succumb, too often by the solicitations of men who ought to be the very last to pose ns lump ten. jWo deny emphatically thut such a measure is in any way "legislation for teetotallers;" it is legislation in favor of ell good men and true, and antagonistic only to the sensual and vicious. It is legislation in favor of the men as yet somewhat weak from the effects of years of the slavery of bar-keepers and their supporters, to insist them in strengthening themselves, as they are many of them' striving to do, against the forces of the Devil and his most favorite weapons.: It is legislation to crush down' with the iron1 heel, ns is fitting, that hideous and disgraceful inconsistency which makes our province a bye-word and a contempt, an inconsistency which places under the special protection und approval of a so-called Christian-government, tho most nefarious und disreputable trade in the universe. We would have no half-measures; no wliited sepulchere rubbish such as "closing during the hours of service." This would not only utterly fail in securing any desirable object, but would positively, in our opinion, increase the evil by covering it up a little more from publio view. Nol much better leave it in its present state than that; much' better let it still ■flaunt itself shamelessly before tho eyes of a public slowly, it may be, but yot surely, growing In intelligence and respectable feeling, and then ere long ils doom is surely seilad, But why hesitate und delay longer whilst thc demon is daily (aerifioing its thousands) and for whom, forsooth, the delay) for a minority of reprobates. No! let the respectable uud moral section of each community rouse itself to the effort at this critical period of an impending election, and let it mnke lis voico to bo heard, as it can if it will, with no uncertain sound; let it choose its representatives on n higher und nobler standard than in the past. Let them be men of the highest intelligence tbe country can produce; men of honor; men of stainless morality, and men Who fejfr the ('(id who made them; hnd let thein be culled upon for pledges that tbey will put down without fear or fuvor this abominable trullic. Let the drinking bar be closed altogether on Sundays, and not only so, but let it lie placed under severe restrictions every day in tiie week. Let the licenses be as high us possible;' 'let' there be a heavy fine or imprisonment rigorously enforced against serving: with liquor those already intoxicated; and last, but not least, let thero be 11 strict supervision of the liquors' Sold,' and n severe punishment for adulteration. Thus, temptation both us regards the barkeeper und' his customers wilt be materially lessened; thus will the ovils whicli must always bo in some sense inseparable from a vile traffic, be in some measure diminished ; and thus will our population bath young and old be strengthened. and assisted to withstand the greatest, the most seductive, tho most deadly enemy to body, mind and spirit.—Churchman's Glf.'ttc. VOLUME 29 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1886. NUMBER ill Honest and intelligent citizens who live by daily wages havej|earned a great many useful letBO^s from the. present labor sttikef and disturbances. First ofall/'they have learned that there is an American view of all these questions, and un American wny of dealing with them, The. sentiment of fair, play and equal rights and personal liberty ig supreme in this' country, and the organization and procedure which are most objectionable in labor associations are, due mainly to a leadership-and control whioh' arVeiisen- tially foreign and not American. Nothing is more evident thaii the public sympathy and support whieh are given to what are seen to be the fair and reasonable demands of wi earning woritmet^.nnd1 rtotMtig/is more certain thaii the summary public condemnation of the attempt of such workmen to injure each other, or in any ,way to interfere with the equal liberty of others. Railroad hands who strike and then hang about the road to obstruct its business, aiid by threats and terror or actual violence to prevent other men from taking the vacant places; ure public enemies—enemies of public order' o:J the -American principle, and of society itself—and the moment they take this position they are wholly abandoned by public opinion',! Senator:Hawley spoke for every self-respecting and honorable working-man in America when he said lhat if he were on a striko, and thieves aud bullies' undertook, under cover of the striko, to seize property or to oppress honest laborers, ho would gladly volunteer to keep the peace. That is as good nn expression of the true American feeling and position as tbe labor troubles nf tha eprihe hare fro- duced. It is nut tho Americao\wny to burn down the* Iiouse in order to kill a rat or roast a-pig;norisitthe.Ameri> can way to upset' aocltlty in order to secure a fnir hearing and a just decision. Sir with the boycott.. It is, as wo have heretofore shown, the destruction of individual freedom and the establishment of mob ''tyranny. It becoiiios also, ut a very early moment, a con* spirsoy which is to be repressed by law. It is also unspeakably cowardly and mean, as in the case of' Mrs. Gray and Mrs: Landgraf, whose business ruin - was suutjht simply because they refused unjustly to coerce their employes, although suoh coercion and Injustice are put forward as Iho justification of strikes. All this is evident, and no just onuiplnint of 111 treatment or of tho injustice antl oppression of oapital can change the facts. The tyranny of capital is no reason fur trying to ruin Mrs. Gray because she will not tyrannize over her employes; and that' J4y. GMa-la.a'*'ae«p-fj tm bo a gopd reason for bringing him before the courts to prove his crimes, but it is not a reason for forcibly preventing an .honest man from working for honest and satisfactory, wanes., The intelligent workmau, to whom alone we are speaking, can see as clearly as we see that tlie attempt of A and 11 to prevent 0 from making: his own bargains is simply lo mako C a slave. Now tin's is what every American instinctively perceives, and no, w*(rmth. of.appeal, based upon the suffering of the laboring man, blinds him tb the plain fact. Another thing which the events of lhe spring have taught working-men, us well as everybody else, Is that tlie orders of certain leaders, even if implicit!? obeyed, are obeyed ignorantly and under protest, and at a oost of enormous suffering to innocent fam ilies. The organization of the associations vests absolutely despotic power in a few absolutely irresponsible persons. The obedience demanded is as abject as that, of the subjects of the King of Abyssinia or of any other despot. It is humiliating to think ol .American citizens stopping work and stopping the food'of their families for reasons of which they know nothing, and at a mere sign from an overseer. No slave-driver upon a plantation ever exercised more cruel power than a "walking delegate." Why ahould American workmen, beoause they choose to unite fur their advantage, divest themselves of their minds and consciences and cominon.sense) There is surely no better reason for intrusting despotic author'') to an executive commitloe than for giving it to a president, or tp congress, or to a legislature. Yet nothing is more jealously scrutinized by liberty-loving men everywhere thnn a disposition lo practise arbitrary authority, and mulling shows iin.ru clearly the lamely un-American character uf the management of the unions than thoir acquiescence in suoh authority,, -Let American citizens carry into labor associations fundamental American principles, and not cease to be American citizens and observant of those principles because they unite for mutual protection. If the ossuoia- tions are not generally American, then tho sooner they understand tho Anieri- oati' people thb better. The American government is tint the'enemy of Ihe |ier>plir; it is iheir aituut, and therefore it is simply stupid in "be ngin the governinout;" unless the majority Is plainly repressive, and ovon then the remedy is at the pulls. Tho American pimple bate despotism uf every kind and degreo;* They are; for; fair piny and equal rights; and just so far as the labor assignations prevent fair play and iiulrage equal liuhts they will be resolutely opposed, by, the greal body uf the peuple, and quite us much by those who understand Ihe real situation of working-men ami the frequent injustice and tyranny'of corporations, as by those who do not understand the une nnd who deny Ilia other. Thu remedy for such differences as arise from questions of wsges between employers and employes, and fur other real differences, is fouiid ill arbilra- tioli. But the question of tlio right of A and B to say whom C shsll em- ilny, or willi whom D shall contract nr his own labor, can - no mure be a subject nf arbitration tban any other kind of slavery.—Jjatptr't Wsekiy Jon printing of all kinds neatly done at the GoumniAS olliee.

ISM, Reglstralloii of Votes. A correspondent at Ohilliwhnck expresses the opinion that there nro a great many persons throughout the country who are qualified to vote, but have neglected to register, and usks Tub Columbian to point out the steps necessary to secure registration. We liavo no doubt but our correspondent's opinion is well founded. Our system of registration belongs to the schemes which have outlived their usefulness. 80 long ns registration is left to the voluntary act of ench individual the lists will be most imperfect. In other provinces, the names of voters are placed on the Ijata by officers appointed for that purpose, and it is not often that one escapes. The system in this province is simple enough, but it is an old saying thnt "what's everybody's business is no body's business," and the remark applies exactly to registration. There is no property qualification in this province. Any male person 21 years of age who is 11 Uritish subject may apply for the privileges of a voter when he has resided in the province twelve months and in the district where he intends to vote two months immediately pro- ceding his application. Tliese nre the only conditions nnd qualifications. Forms of application mny hod free from nll government agents. The intending voter must fill up one of the forms and transmit it to the gov'nment agent resident. The name will then be posted up ut thc government office for two months, after which, if not objected to, it goes on the voters' list and the applicant is then entitled to vote. In view of the approaching general - elections it is most desirnbfe'that every eligible person in the country should take Steps' to have his name placed on the lists, und this should bo done without delay. Official importations, It has already lieen intimated in these columns that the administration of Dominion lands and timber in thiB province will shortly be taken out of tlie hands of Mr. Trutch and given to a board of Manitobans. Every person who has had occasion to test the efficiency of the present arrangements must know that they are a delusion and a snare. Applicants for Dominion lands hitherto have not been able to obtain any information whatever from the Dominion government agent that would be of value in determining whether or not there waa a probability of their being able to obtain a patent. In reply to every application thero came a stereotyped acknowledgment stating simply that the application had been placed on fyle and would be considered in due course. This process has been going on now for about two years, and not a patent has been issued. We are informed that lately some persons who took up land and have made large improvements have received intimation that these lands do not come within the pre-emption clauses of the Dominion lands act, und there is reason to fenr that some lionn fide settlers may lose their lands and their labors. TTnder u condi tion of affairs so uusatisfuctory almost any change would bo hailed with delight,'and we are nnt at all disposed to quarrel with the federal government because il contemplates a change .in the administration of iU lands in this province. But is it necessary that the commissioners to administer the timbers and lands of British Columbia must be im- ported from Manitoba 1 The timber commissioner, we believe, has already arrived from Manitoba, and It if aaid that (our or five other gentlemen froin that province are expeoted shortly to determine who shall and who shall not retain the landt he haa taken up and improved. It occurs to us that tliere may lie in thin- province <'» huHiher of per sons quite as well qualified as a Manitoban to ndn-in^lt^r:-t|t*» Do- minion lands. It iiaStrt^t-hich many notable cian-pIc* *dpS»l* mentioned, that when outsiders undertake to meddle with our concerns they generally mened in makiiig a muddle., In all seriousness wo pro teat againet the importation of thaw gentlemen to oeottpy poattlorls whiih in all (airneu heloruj ta, Britiih Golmnbians. It will not do.to say that the commsrtlBrleft'liAVe fenined valuable experience in Manitoba. The conditions here are so different from the conditions there, that experience in one cuse would be of scarcely any value at all iin'tlie other.; Hut it is a fact r;too,'|'cll knows that the administration of public lands ill Manitoba and the north-west lias been anything but satisfactory. Was it not the land grievance: that caused the late rebellion for which even now the whole country is suffering! Was it uot the land grievance .that drove thousands of desirable settlers from the Canadian north-west to the northwestern states, where wliole colonies of Ouniulidns liiiiy now be found! Do wc want land commissioners- and timber connnisBionei'S from a province which-bus been stunted and impoverished'by blunders in the administration of its timber aud its lands 1 If a commission of Uritish Columbians were appointed to administer the lnnds of Manitoba, or Ontario, or Quebec, what a howl would go up from the people of these provinces! Tho sending of commissioners from the east is uo less obnoxious to us, and we ought to resent it., What aro out- representatives at Ottawa doing when -such things nre permitted to take place Under their'very noses! Canadian Indians. There seems to be no longer any doubt that much mismanagement and corruption have marked tho administration of Indian affairs in the north-west. The revelations brought out during thc lute investigation are of u nature sufficiently startling to nittke the wliole country blush with shame. It has been customary for Canadians to point with pardonable, pride to the contrast lietween the administration of Indian affairs in the United States and our own country. Beyond the lines there haB been systematic robbery and fraud, and the result of this imposition long ago manifested itself in Indian revolts and bloody massacres. With us things have been very different. The Indians of Canada, as ft rule, have been remark ably gootl, and their loyalty has been to a great extent the result of an honest administration of their affairs. We are afraid the days aro past when we may justly congratulate ourselves upon our Indian policy and its results. Tho rebellion of last year, which cost this country over four millions in money and many precious lives, wus a rude awakening for the people of Canada, but the revelations subsequently made as to tlie causes which led to this deplorable result are a still greater shock to our moral sense. The Christian Guardian,of Toronto, a newspaper so carefully conducted as to make its utterances worthy of great weight, nfter fully considering the whole question, makes the following declaration: "After giving all due weight to what was said in reply by Sir Hector and Dr. Ferguson, us well as to the denials of some contractors and others, wo are forced to believe that the charges of actual starvation, of the supply of improper food, and of the immorality snid to be promoted by'government employees, are sustained by ample evidence that has not been disproved. * * * We roust express our deep regret that the demands of political debate should have rendered it necessary to disparage and discredit the testimony and character of worthy Christian missionaries who, there is every reason to believe, spoke out honestly and truthfully in behalf of the In- diuns, ugninst serious evils und wrongs thnt they witnessed. When the Hev, John McDougall states that the promises made to the Indians have lieen liroken, and that they have been badly treated by hnl inn nyeiits- when lie speaks of 'the shameful aud immoral lives of mnny of tho employees,' and asks for 'employees of the Indian department who will be true to their country if not lo their God, who will refrain from licentiousness, blasphemy, drunkenness, and laziness,' lie deserves the lliuiiks und support of every true patriot without regard to party interests. Wo nro quite confident that Mv. McDougall would not have made the statements contained in his loiters nnd in his interviews with the Mail's correspondent, unless lie wus fully convinced of their actual truth. It is not fair to Mr. McDougall to say that he declined to substantiate the charges he hud made, on being asked to do so. It certainly wns not his business to find Witnesses and bring thom forward to prove publicly what he h*id stated. Why should ho bo compelled to publicly light thc ambit- IgtM/ftromsors whoso iniquities he had denounced 1 It is too bad that. a manly und uupurtisaii condemnation of a disgraceful state of things should secure for a mun disparagement nnd discredit instead of -J-ii*='. ....... '.. ■ 1 ,'J.P the approval his conduct deserves." These are strong words, but mild in comparison with the disgust that must fill the minds of all Canadians who-j'rend'J the disclosures which gave rise^'to them. Ho longer can we boast of the uprightness of our administration of Indian affairs, or the content and loyalty which characterizes the natives. This most unhappy state of affairs is to a greut extent, we nre afraid, the result of appointing -Indian agents from anion" political hacks and for party reasons. Men whose claims for preferment arise from the fact that they have ;been-used to <lo tlio dirty work in a political contest have been pensioned in' tho north-west, und hnvo done more mischief than can ever be repaired. This system of appointing unlit persons to important positions us a reward for political services is one of the ret suits of party government. It has been practised to a greater or less extent by both Reformers nnd Conservatives in Canada, 'but wo believe it has never boen so prevalent under any administration us thut of Sir John Macdonald. Before the Tndinns lose all faith in the honor and justice of Canadian officials, we hope tbis pernicious and suicidal policy will be utterly abandoned. ' There is no department wliere such care is needed as in that of Indian affairs. The natives nf this country are liko children when brought into contuct with the institutions and appliances of civilization, sfbij are apt to su'ppoie that ull men aro alike, and that those who have lieen placed in authority over them are among the best of tbe nation. What opinion of our civilization and Christianity can these people form when confronted with acts of villainy on the part of the very men whom they are' taught to regard with respect and to imitate as examples! Even in our own province there are not wanting instances where official influence has produced a very bad impression upon the native mind. On the nortii west coast and elsewhere men hnve been sent to administer Indian affairs who notoriously disregarded the ordinary requirements of good behavior, and whose example would bo a curse to the natives if followed. This ought not to be. If we expect the Indians to look favorably upon civilization and Christianity, we must let them see', that civilization and Christianity are moro than a theory —that they are'the development of principles which, if adopted and practised, will Mukedjic^yettor lyid happier. If we cannot convince an Indian of this, it is vain for us to urge our institutions upon him, or to expect from him loyal obdedience to our laws. IB N. P.

The cost is between 91,500 and $1,600. Mr. Austin IJrico is contractor, and the work ib to be finished by the 3rd of July. The present Orange Hall .was built in 1803, and at that time the place where it stands was uncivilized tree* and swamp.

Chukuii Ophnino at Vancoutbb.— Last Sunday the new Presbyterian church at Vancouver waa dedicated to the worship nf God by (appropriate services. Sermons were preached by Rev.

Tea was served in a booth erected out Bide, after Which an entertainment consisting of addresses and music was given in the church. The building was comfortably tilled. Addresses were delivered by Reva. Messrs. Thompson, (who occupied tho chair); Lennie, Watson, Taylor, and Hall. The music, which was furnished by the Presbyterian choir,oft this city, consisted of two anthems; a (Juot by the Messrs. Henderson; songs by Miss A. Davidson, J. S. Clute, and W. H.

SnriAUSM in Sbaitle.— TheSesttlo Post-Intelligencer in its issue of Thursday last !b authority for the statement that for some time past there has existed in that city a plot on the part of socialists to murder the" more prominent business men of tlio place. It is said that in September last (soon after the murder of Ohinese in Squuk valley) a well-known member Of the Knights of Labor -John T. Jordan—ninco deceased, called upon the lion. A'. A. Denny, member of the banking firm of Hoitou, Denny tfc Co., and arked, iti tho capacity.uf a friend, if it were true that lhey bad oa deposit thu sum t<f $10,000 placed'with them by the six Chinese compuuu-s for tho prosecution of, the' alleged murdenu at Squnk. Tlie reply was n most unqualified negative, whereupon Mr. Jordan unburdened his miud of the knowledge ho possessed of a plan that had been secretly formed, to assassinate Dexter Morton, H. L, Yesler, I). T. Denny, Thomas Burke and others. The plot was j imparted to him by a man who was afterwards among thoso arrested at the time of lhe, riots iu February lut, and thc work had beon deputed to members of the gang by lot. It was at this time ihat Mr. Jordan removed the requirement of secrecy'ho had laid upon Mr. Denny.

Snow-Slideh ON THB C.P.R.—The civil engineer deputed by the Canadian Pacific railway oompany to watch the effect of tbe snowfall in the Rocky mountain division during last winter has reported favorably upon the same, He says: "By putting in the loop aud getting tho location into the bottom of the valley of the Illecelle trail the track on thc west slope ia almost entirely removed from auy danger from snow-slides. The only one of consequence is at station 733, and this may be easily overcome by a shed, whieh when erected will throw the snow entirely off tho track into the river below, and this can also be said of the others, except the one at the summit, where the grade will have to be lowered," On April lst Mr. Dickey reported: "Since my laat report we have had more than I anticipated, but it wu of a very light character, and would offer no opposition to trains. For the put week Ihe weather has been extremely tine, and the snow is going rapidly. During thia time the Heat of the sun has brought down a few small snow-slides. They come slowly and a very small proportion reach the track." On April 10th he wrote: "Tha warm weather during the past ten daya haa brought down a great many snow-slides from the mountain tops, but they only reach the track at five points, coming very slowly and doing no damage to speak of,"—Colonist. City Council.—Council met on Monday night. Present, the mayor and Couns. Lord, Elliott, Bonson, Shiles, Calbick, Ross, and Douglas. The city solicitors stated that tbe health by-law of I860 wu in force and could be applied to the case of sick horses. The matter was referred to the board of health. A communication from the clerk of Vancouver wu read in which the mayor aud aldermen, of that city returned thanks for the good wishes of the corporation of New Westminster, ahd expressed the hope that a friendly feeling would alwaya exist between the two cities. The board of works reported that $20 would be a fair compensation fur losa sustained by Henry Bonson on account of removal of building, It whb moved by Coun. Calbick, seconded by Coun. Douglas, "that the sum of 9160 be placed in Ihe bauds of tho board of works to open up Pelham st., botween Clinton st. and Park Lane; also, to extend Clinton st. above Montreal at, two chains, and extend east along the lane so that-parties living there can hnve access to their dwellings." After some debute the motion wu lost. It wns opposed on the ground that the council had decided some time ugo to make no further appropriations until the question of railway right of way had been settled. To this it wu replied that money was being expended in other it*ards, notably ou Cunningham street. In consequence of the council's refusal (<> pass the resolution, Couns. Doiisjlas and Calbick tendered their resignation, the acceptance of which was postponed till next meeting. Coun. Shiles reported that an Indian woman had been committed to gaol in default of a fino of $10; the fine had been subsequently paid by her friends, but Mr. Moresby refused to release her unless the amount of the fine was placed in hii hands. The matter was referred to the city solicitor. Mr. Ferris wu ap pointed to collect the mad and cattle tax. The olerk was instructed to notify the contractors for the Roman Catholic church to have the debris removed from Blackwood at. at once. Council adjourned till 3 o'clock tliis afternoon to ait as a court of revision. test against an expenditure on the Nicomekl nver. Thia so-called public meeting wu so public that peoplo within two or three miles of the hall did not know there was to have been any meeting on that day, nor did two-thirds of the entire population of Surrey know of the proceedings until it transpired in tlie course of a week that the reeve and another party had been deputated to proceed to Victoria to protest against tbe manner in which the engineer in charge proposed to have the work done.

No later than your last* issiit wss there offered up for publio edification a report of a number of Rpttchet delivered at t> so-called publio meeting held in the town hall to pro* loui.'' Tfie people interested lu the the improvement of the Nicomekl river have for several years petitioned for sufficient money to clear that stream for navigation u far up as Langley Prairie, the Langley people also signing the petition. The work which the engineer laid out a few days ago hu beeu very much needed, and is one of the most important changes which will have to be made, inasmuch as it changes thc entire course of the river, and shortens its length by .nearly a mile and .a half, It must therefore be apparent to any one possessed of ordinary intelligence that to change the course of a stream as large as the Nicomekl river is a work that should only be intrusted to a practical engineer. The government have not' only granted the mopey petitioned for, but have directed a competent engineer to have this work done, thus ensuring practical work and securing property holders in the immediate vicinity from any damage to their holdings which might result from the diversion of tke river from its natural channel. The government are thua carrying out the wishes of the people who applied for tbe money to improve the Nicomekl, and the impertinent interference of the little coterie of self-conceits who are endeavoring to stop the work and have the expenditure made under their own direction, is most ridiculous. A few facts in conclusion: The appropriation does not belong to Surrey, but to the Nicomekl rirer. The people of Langley Prairie, a very important section, applied u well as the people of Surrey for tlie appropriation now about to be expended, consequently have an equal right with the most intensely interested Surreyite in votiug two-thirds of the appropriation to another stream. The residents of Langley Prairie, who look forward to the improvement of the Nicomekl river, probably do not know yet of the little piece of impudence that has been perpetrated by about a dozen individuals arrogant enough to undertake to act unsolicited for upwards of one hundred interested and earnest peoplo who desire the work already begun to be completed. In -conclusion, Air. Editor, do not be misled by the assuming little clique who bave so loudly proclaimed themselves "practical men," but rest assured that the great majority who are interested in the work only, and who have no party ends to serve, remain quietly attending to their own business, gratified to have their petition granted and tbe work curried on under the supervision of a practical engineer.

Mr. Thomas Nelson, in a letter to the Edinburgh Scotsman on home rule ill Canada, adds:—"The chief blot, in my opinion, in Mr. Gludatonu'a IriBh scheme ia the exclusion oi Irish mem* bars of parliament from Westminstor. Irishmen have hud their full share in building up the grent empire to which we all belona, nud they ought atill to lhare in ita government, lt is not an Engliah empire, nor a British empire, nor an Anglo-Saxon empire, but an Anglo-Celtic empire of English, Scottish, and Irish blended together. Lot us do justice to our Irish bretiiren, and wipe out the disgrace of centuries of Engliah rule in Ireland. The Irish are capable of aelf government. Give it them, and ita responsibilities will speedily educate tho people to legislate well in their provincial assemblies. They will submit to lawa from their own countrymen which.they would nnt accept willingly from Englishmen. I believe the ultimate settlement of government in the British Islands will be some form of provincial assemblies, not only fer Ireland, but for England, Wales, and Scotland—not one for each. but several. For England there would probably be required a Northern assembly, a Midland, a Southern, and a Metropolitan. Fop Scotland probably a Lowland and a Highland; and fur Wales, a Welsh assembly, nll undor the one central government at Westminster, central for the British Islands, and Imperial for tile Empire." Traps nor Americans. An American gentleman, who for many years past has buen established in business in Paris, received, one day, a call from a handsomely dressed female, in whoro he recognized a noturi oub American member of the demi monde of Paris. She came, she said, to propose to him a lucrative business transaction. She-had in her possession a list of sundry high-born and titled -ijentlemen who wished to marry rich American girls, and she displayed auch a list, inscribed with aome of tho proudest names of the French ariatoc- raoy. ■■ If' toy' countryman would inform her of tho arrival in Paris of nny wealthy American ladies, and of the presumed amount of their fortunes, she would, on the accomplishment of a marriage between any one of theae and one of her clients, at once pay over to htm half of her stipulated percentage on the dowry, which in her case was to amount to 10 per cent. It is needless to say that the woman's offer was refused. But the very fact of its being made showed how widespread is the system of the matrimonial agency in Paris, and how extensive and elaborate must be its arrangements for obtaining information. There is an Austrian gentleman moving in the best society of Paris, whom I strongly suspect of being one of the secret and accredited agents of one of these establishments. He tried hard, but in vain, some years ago, to bring about a match hetween the daughter and onty child of an American gentleman then visiting the city and a French duke of ancient family. The duke turned out finally to be an impostor, and was forced to take (light from Paris. Employes of these agencies are also to bo found in the principal hotels. They are usually women, generally bear high-sounding titles, and are pleasant nf manner and affable of bearing. Their business ia to make acquaintance with rich Americans who have daughters, ao that the daughters aforesaid may be presented to impecunious adventurers on the lookout to repair thoir fortunes by marriage. The matter ia very adroitly managed, an opera or a theatre party or a little dance being gotten up by the amiable French lady to amuse her sweot, new young friend, the luckless damsel whose dollars, real br rumored, have caused her to be selected aa a fitting victim. At the dunce or at the theatre the introduction takes place, nud the fascinations of the gentleman are supposed t-v'do the rest. Very often, indeed, the promoter of the whole at-nea of manoeuvres ia not connected- with any agency whatever, but is acting on her own account. — /7u/<t* tMfdtin T#tyraph.

The Newspaper Plant. It seems that in certain far-away territories, culled Now Mexico and Arizona, there are great tracts of desolate desert lands, where the very hills i-eiilji destitute of life and beauty, and wheru the earth is shriveled from coti- luries of terrible heat. And ip these dcficrt-tracts grows a curious, inia-shap* en, grotesque and twisted plant that seems mote like a goblin tree than u real one. Of all the trees in the world you would imagine this to be the most outcast and worthless --so meager a living doea it obtain from the waste of sand and gravel in which it grows. And yet this goblin tree is now being sought nfter nnd utilized in oneof the world's greatest industries—an industry thut affects the daily needs of civilization. These wise folk, the botunistB, call our goblin tree by its odd Indinn name of the "Yucca" palm. Thia plant of the desert (or a long timo was considered valueless. But not long ago it was discovered thut the fiber of the Yucca could be mude into an excellent paper. And now one of the great English dailies, the London Teiegrhpli, ia printed upon paper made from this yobliu tree. Indeed, the Telegraph lius purchased a large plantation in Arizona merely for the purpose of cultivating this tree und manufacturing paper from it, So, you see the Yucca is now a newspaper ■plant.— St. Nicholas for May. . Dakota's Bad lamls. The "Bud Landa" of Dakota are said to owe their origin to the burning of the coul deposits thnt once existed thero. They are situated principally along tho Cheyenne and Grand Rivers and the Little Missouri. Thoy nre from two or three milea to, auy, twenty- five miles in width. In the long ago the valleys of these streams must have been tilled with drift wood. Then followed a period of drift, which buried the accumulation ef wood under two or threo -hundred feet of sediment, sand und gravel- Thejoui-icd wood hi time became coal, the veins being in nnme instances twenty odd feet in depth. Either from spontaneous combustion or from electricity, tires were started in theso veins, aud they gradually burned out, restoring in pnrt the old wuter courses by means of the overflow fiom the accumulation of water iu these newly formed basins, Looking upon them, here you sec patches of slag, there greut bowlders, showing unmistakable ovideuce of great heat, und on evory hnnd scoria or burned clay, resembling broken brick, Where the fires were chocked by the enving enrth and the coal did not burn, mo muls twoor three hundred feet in height stand. Aud, nccording to the Black Diamond, a newspaper du- voted to tho coal interests, published iu Chicago, in parta of Wyoming thii aiuno proceas is now going on; vast tieldn are undermined by subterranean fires, and tho blackened, smoking plain is filled, with desolation. Trappers say these fires have been in existence for a long time, and the traditions of the Indians point to the same conclusion. The Earth's Crust. Professor Domicy, an English scientist lecturing on thc making of mountains mid that modern research and experiment had proved thnt mountain ranges were not of sudden, spasmodic growth; but had tuken long ages in their formation. A comparative study of the various kinds of mountains led to the induction tlmt their structure was not due tu vertical upheaval, but to tho "puckering up" of the strata. Tho age of u range might be approximately ascertained by observing the age of the first undisturbed bed. The Pyrenees, Himalayas, and Apennines mountains were comparatively.piodernj dating from a more recent age thai, the London clay depoaitj^while the Scotch Highlands were among the old eat wrinkles on' tha earth's crust. When the mountain rangW'wei-o Considered iu connection with ,tho size of the earth their magnitude was greatly dwarfed. On a globe the'size of the dome of St. Paul's cathedral the highest pcuk of the Alps would only stand up about half an inch, and the wholt) range would not spread out to an ami of more than twenty inches. As uu interesting fact in connection with thu making of mountains, tha lecturer pointed out that the ranges'hnve a ten- deucy to group along the const lines of continents and that the larger chains of mountains uro found almost invariably on the aide of the larger oceans. As an illustration of thia note thnt on the Atlantic side ot America the mountains were almost insignificant in size, while on tho Pacific side tho mighty Andes, &-&, were found. In addressing himself to the question as to whether the uplifting of mountains were slow or sudden, Professor Bonney adduced some striking facta to show that they were of extremely slow development. Starting from tho data that the earth was once a globe .'if molten matter, it was argued that, thu vast mountain ranges on its surface were the result of contraction, nnd as it hud been proved tlmt lava was a bad conductor of heat, tho conclusion was that these ranges had only been formed after Ihu lapse of many ages.
