Mr. Beaven, replying to (he bud- git gpeeoh, expreeged disappointment at the abaence of my explanation respecting the government's failure to fill the vacant office of finance minister. He regretted that the statements made bythe provincial secretary could not be accepted by .the house. Instead of the revenue having increased, as a ..■natter lit {aot it had decreased since .1883, while the expenditure had largely increased, it is true the government did not tako advantage of the loan act, bit it bad borrowed from the bank as lane a sum as the loan act covered, and the position of the finances was the same practically as if the loan bad been negotiated. The government had the advantage of the dry-dock sale and the increased revenue incident to railway construction, but had failed to make the revenue meet the expenditure, It was not possible now to avoid a loan. During his canvass at last general eleotion he had stated that it would be necessary for the government either to take a loan or to increase taxation, but he never anticipated that the government would do both. But then was a limit to the borrowing power of the province, and tbe day would come when we should experience the ill effeots of adding to our obligations. Ho wu of opinion that land taxes should be ad valorem. There was a great deal of land in the province on whioh 7 cents an acre would be an excessive tax. He criticised some of the items set down in the estimates, - and expressed alarm at the large increase in the oost of administering the affain of the oountry. If the attempt was made to increase the revenue by imposing more taxes he thought the ratepayers would rise up In rebellion and demand aohange of government.—Mr. Orant contended that the estimator a« 'submitted were misleading. He believed that at the end of the present fiscal year the deficit would be ♦500,000. There were interests in the province whioh ought to be dealt with liberally, but he had not confidence in the present minister of finance. It was very important that the mining industries should be encouraged. The educational system of the province was one of which we might be proud. Mr. Orant then prooeeded to read a letter from a squatter in New Westminster district reflecting on the provincial secretary, but he refused to give the writer's name. He expressed regret, at the action of the house with respect to the Vanoouver trouble, and read a letter from a resident of that place reflecting upon the conduct of the provinoial seoretary whom he'credited with tbe whole matter. The increase, he contended, was not in proportion to the inorease of population, and the estimates were not correct The province, he said, wu poorer today than it wu ten years ago,—Mr. Martin said he must contradict the statement of Mr Semlin respecting the Ashcroft bridge. The bondsmen ' were still liable to the extent of $10,000, and the contractors had deposited 1800 to cover any repairs that- might be found necessary. The contractors seem to have acted in perfect good faith, and the work had been done nnder the superintendence of a competent officer. He repelled the idea that either Mr. Vernon or himself had neglected the interests of thtir constituents. He contrasted the expenditures on publio works in Yale distriot under the two administrations, showing how much larger the appropriations had been under the present government In 1880 tbe. expenditure wu 16,170, while this year it is 131,779. . It was true the expendi tuna in hit district were leu than the revenues, but his constituents were content.-—Mr. Orr.said the polioy of the government had been to empty the treasury when it wu full, and. to come to the house for a loan when it wu empty. The revenue from salu of und at Burrard Inlet had been very small and disappointing, and the revenue tax had not been half collected by the government He contended that New Westminster district, with a popu lation larger than that of any other district in the provinoe, had not received a fair share of the appropriations. It received scarcely 50 cts. ner head, while Lillooet got $15,000 for one bridge.

OEBMANV & THE OHUKCll Berlin, Mar. 10.—Tho ohurch bill, as passed by tho commission of the Obeshaus, grants religious orders tho restitution of their properties. Tho report of the commission will be placed before the chamber on Thursday next. The measure fails to conciliate the centre party, whose final demands have been formulated by Dr. Wind* thorst. Those are that the permission accorded in the bill to form bishoprics in Limbourg and Osnabruoh be extended to other dioceses, including Cologno, Breslnu, Munster and Ermel, and that tho bill Bhall strictly limit and define tho powers of tho stato to iveto clerical appointments, and that discretionary powers of the minister of worship over the ro-entry of religious, orders be denied and limited. Dr. Windthorst declares there can bo no peace between the church and state unless"" these demands' shall be conceded. OERMANY WANTS PEACE. lt is reported that the Emperor William, on receiving the French general Marquese D'Abscz said: "Tell your compatriots that there is uo danger of war so long as I live. I shall use my influence to maintain peace. God will soon call me to himself. I do not wish tli leave my people a heritage of blood. Germany shares my desire for good-will with the French.

White Brosse Monuments. —White Bronse is a comparatively new sulistancc, and has corns into large use, rapidly, for speoial purposes in this country. It Ims heen found to bo so well adapted for statuary and monuments, that companies have been for some time established nt Bridgeport, Conn., Detroit, Mich., Des Moines, Iowa, and St. Thomas, Canada, who are making monuments of all kinds and styles. From experiments made, by these companies, it has ben found that the material will stand exposure for au Indefinite period—it is praet.ca.ly inde- atruotiblo. White Hvonzo being non- corrosive and unchangeable, it is stated to be eqnal to gold, silver or platinum, and superior to copper or antique bronze, which throws off a verdigris. Iho monuments an cast from refined sine, and. are given their sparkling appearance by the sand blast, sand being blown against the work nnder a high pressure of steam, wbloh cuts the surface,' but does not adhere to it. A thin film of oxide which forma on this bronse is lndistruotlble by the elements; it cannot be dissolved by water, and air cannot penetrate it, although the film Is so thin as to he im- measurable. No corrosion, It Is affirmed, oan take place.—Boston Journal qf Commerce. Chas. 3. Robson, New Westminster, Is agent for the White Bronze Monuments in British Columbia. Muoh cheaper and more durable than any other myoto COMMUNICATIONS. Conserratlve Atwoelitloi. Editor Columbian.—As W. J. W, has not replied to your strictures on his suggestion, relating to the formation of a Literal-Conservative association for New Westminster, and as my letter, endorsing the suggestion cf W. J.W., may be considered at included in your criticism, I ask for space to correct what I consider to be most unfair Inferences on your part, regarding the aim and working of such organisations. You deprecate tbe idea of introducing party-politics into British Columbia, but you have them here already, »'•«..>•> « jmobjectw**-Wa|«m,- inixod Uf, with a]l sorts, of side issues. Tlie oountry must, of necessity, be governed by one or the other of the two parties—not factions, the fragmentary state of parties ln New Westminster can be more correctly described by that terra—into which the Seat majority of the electors of the ominjon is divided; hence, in order to secure an intelligent exercise of tbe franchise, the distinctive peUbybf each party ahould be kept clearly before the people. You seem to think that'"mud throwing" is inseparable from party politics. Suoh a contention does not appear to me to be logical. Whan candidates are placed in the field by tlieir respective parties, as the exponents of certain well-defined principles, there is certainly less to be gained by attacks upon their private character, than if they wore in the field as free lances— political "Dugald Dolgettica". who mako merchandise of their swords. ' I have now to notice some very wonderful reasoning on your part, Mr. Editor, which I am charitable enough to attribute to the abaence of "Italian skies," and the prevalence of mist and fog in the atmosphere. . Yeu say, "tbe formation of suoh an association would be most unfair to those who are unwilling to ally themselves with suoh an organization. How sot Is a temperance association, or a young men's Christian association, or sn association of Masons or Oddfellows, unfair to those who can exercise their dieotetkm in regard to becoming members! Like all othor associations it would be an organization of men who hold opinions in common, on certain lawful, and, aa thoy consider, important'subjects, and who for lhe better accomplianment of their purpose, agree to aot in accordance with the tdagt'-Miilt "union is •at-rangtli^' W.J.W. is correct ia say- aiglkat it would be the duty of such an association to see that the name of overy qualified Conservative voter waa duly registered, and the nameecf noo- quolihea voters struok off. Thb, you say, "wears a look of decided unfairness." Ir. the name of common sense I ask where the unfairness, coines inl ls such not the intention of the law, and is it not thc duty of every good citizen to aid in its administntion t Ab a professed advocate of law and order you are certainly not oensiatent in condemning as wrong a suggestion to aid in aeeing necessary laws executed, by an association having only, lawful aims in view. You say that this—supervising the voters' lists—"brings to one's reoollec- tion the tactics pursued beyond the mountains." Well, if yeu hate rseol- leetioiu of wrong-doing in oonnwtion with voter's lists, "beyond the mountains," or anywhere else, it msyao- count for, your disliking the idea of having them meddled with at all. But I can assure you, that if a Liberal- Conservative association is formed here, ite objeot will be to rectify, and not to perpetrate wrong.' i Yonr sweeping charge of fraud against conservative committees "beyond the mountains" is "hhrowiugmud" of a very unsavory odor, upon a seal* of continental magnitude. With yonr permission, Mr. Kditor, I will take another opnortuaity of referring to some of the benefits of suoh an organisation as we have been considering. Lis.-Cot.. Mareh 17th, 1887.

A <£ew days ago we drew attention to the favorable situation of this oity as a railway centre, and in the course of our observations mentioned the possibility and importance of the 0. P. R. branch to ""this'oity being extended to Vnn- coiiver. It was pointed out thnt if this extension were made and the Sew Westminster Southern and the Delta railways were constructed, the point ot junction for all these lines would be at this city, and we should become the great railway centre of British Oolumbia. Wo were somewhat astonished to find in the Guardian of yesterday an editorial artiole touching this subject in which the writer, with singular and inexplicable stupidity, endeavors to show that the Columbian is an "unprincipled traitor" because of the views advanced. Our cotemporary thinks that if the road were carried to Vancouver it would "reduce New Westminster to the status of a way station, and a very small one at . that" We do not think many of -our citixens will coincide with this viow. The largest cities of Canada are not termini of great railways. ' The Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific have their termini not at Montreal, but on the Atlantic coast. .Toronto and Hamilton and London are "way stations" on the Grand Trunk, and the only railway of im portance terminating ac Toronto is the Northern. The true polioy of a city that seeks to control the trade of the country is to secure railway connection in all directions. This has been the polioy of the cities we bave named, and they have grown to be the ohief cities of the Dominion. Other things being equal, it is better to be the terminus of a railway than to be merely a wny station, but as we cannot be the real terminus of the 0. P. R. it will surely be in our interest to have the best connection we can get with the real terminus. Our cotemporary proceeds upon the assumption that Port Moody is to remain tbe . actual western terminus, and that "all hope of the branch or extension iron Port Moody to Vancouver is about exhausted." This is surely a most wonderful delusion. Does our cotemporary not know that the -road has already been extended to .Vancouver, and even to English Bay) Does he not know that the steel nils, have keek laid, and that fully two weeks ago a construction . train went from Port Moody to Vancouver! There is probably not another person in the district, besides our cotemporary nnd his sub soriber, who does not know these facts. If he could keep the terminus at Port Moody, and prevent the building of a oity at Vancouver, the circumstances might be greatly changed; but everybody knows that Vancouver has been mado the ter- i, minus by the 0. P. R. company, and it is childish for any person to pretend that the purpose of the company ean be changed in this respect. The extension of our branch to Vancouver would not affect the C. i P. N.' steamers at all. In a few weeks through-freight will be transferred at Vancouver, but local freight and passengers and mails trill oome here by the steamers as they are coming now. Our cotemporary further declares that the effect of the construction of tiie Delta Railway will bo to carry all the produce of the south side of the river to Vancouver hy way of Ladners. Then let him oppose the construction of that road and go for Messrs. Orr and Ladner who are putting the bill through parliament! o But if the terminus is to remain at Port Moody, and if Vancouvor is to 'become utterly bankrupt, ns stated oy onr cotemporary, why should produca go there when it will lio able to reach this city witli infinitely leu difficulty! To reach Vancouver by the route laid down by our en temporary it would be necessary for the people of Chilliwhack to go past this city about 12 miles hy railway to Ladners, then,to cross tlio Fraser and all its branches and drive over Lulu Island and Sea Island, and i then across, tho peninsula. From Ladners to Vancouver by this route would be not less than 12 miles, of whioh at least two miles would be by ferry. To suppose that such a route would ever be adopted is too absurd to oall for serious argument. If tke railways mentioned in the article to -whioh our ootemporary take* exception were constructed, this oity would beyond question be the point of transhipment and the distributing point for most of the .agricultural settlements. But our cotemporary puts forward the : strange doctrine that tbe effect of - tfca interstate commerce bill would be to -eit olf the 0. P R. trade ..'■ from the sound. In some instances '.uitUi-My be, but generally the effeot •rill be the opposite. Under tho ';-: new bill all through rates on Ameri ,«■■-roads most go up, which will itrtainly throw a large portion of the through business into the hands '. R. where that business be forwarded to its desti- .,.'iwer American railways. ■ary evidently does not tke provisions of the Jto'weld not have made such j*ior».Hunder. With respect -t*' the connection between the sound and tho C. P. R. at Hope, we have only to say that it is no part of our scheme, and we apprehend that it will never he carried out. The cheapest and most natural railway connection between the sound and the 0. P. R. is undoubtedly v$y means of a linn straight across from the boundary to this city, because here the road would find connection with ell tho other roads of the country, and traffic could bo transferred with the greatest facility for overy possible destination. We are prepared, thorofore, to stand by tho article wliich oppcared in this journal on Friday, and to defend its suggestions as being in the true interest of tho city and district.

Twtnty year.) ago, when a boy, ho received injuries in a flour mill which necessitated taking off both arms at the shoulders. This misfortune did not rdisoouraffe or arms. Part of tha time he lived alone, and from tho necessity of helping himself he became wonderfully adept in performing all kinds bf work, using hit feeet and mouth principally. He owned a hone, nf which he took the entire oue, harnessing and unharnessing, managing buckles with hia teeth, and driving with the reins around his shoulders. He built a oow stable, sawing the lumber with hie feet, and, with the hammer in one foot and holding the nail with the other.he nailed the boards on as well as most men could with their hands. He dug a woll twelve feet deep and stoned it himself. He could mow away by holding the folk under hia chin and letting it rest aeainst his shoulder. He wauldplck up potatoes in the Held a> tut as t man oould dig them. He would dress himself, get his meals, write his letters, and in fact do almost anything that any man with two arms could Ao.—Bottm lronrript " AnU-Nra Society. Th* anti-mum aoolal -nnder the auspices of the Woman's Chriftian Temperance Union, held in the Temperance Hall, Victoria, Mar. 14, was, taking everything into consideration, a decided success. The programme was opened bp singing " What Be tho Tie That Binds," followed by a Scripture reading hy Hiss. Rnwes snd prayer by the Rov. Mr. McOrae. Mra. MoNaughten, president pro ten,, made a few very appropriate remarks relative to the treasury of the W. 0. T. U, A good recitation on " The Little Shoes" and a song, " The Drunkard's Alphabet," by three little sisters, was heartily encored. Five clergymen responded to the invitation of the ladles, three of whom, se well as Miu Rowes, gave five-minute addressee. A W. 0. T. U. motto, in large blue letters on white canvas, oipressive of thn* thoughts, "Purity ih the Home," "Truthin Politics"and "Ood in the Government." was prominently placed over the platform, thus giving suggestions to the impromptu speakers. Judging from the sociability of the half hour for refreshments, th* au* diense most evidently felt the responsibility of twins' anti-mum, consequently good cheer and plsassnt chitchat prevailed. The Royal Band contributed largely to the music of the; ovening. After an excellent reading by Mr. Archibald, a recitation by Mr. Nichols, solo by Misa Peulrith, and an admirable sacred song well roil-" dend by Mn. Spon-oroV this enjoyable and profitable entertJinntent waa concluded by the band receiving • vote of thanks and playing the national ah*1 theo, ond Rev.

It is not, I trust, too late to mention that the neighboring republic was represented in the person of Rev. Mr. Banks, of Seattle, whose Christian and appropriate remark* en- banned thi value ot th* programme.— 0o». -—i -e-*-* Regulating the Elephant., Kverybody had heard that the great elephant wa* loose, and seven) familial whose gardena he had torn up and whose boys he bad trampled, upon were certain of it. There waa great exeitement, and the town held a meeting to decide what ihould be done, They did not want to ei.erm.nate ) him j in fact many of them did not' believe they oould e-.termin.ato him, for he wu a pr*u* big elephant. Bolides, he was useful in his proper I place—in ehowi, la India and In atory "Our belt plan ia tii-try and regulate him," laid an enthuoiaatic speaker. " Let us build toll-gate! all along the route we find he is going to take and make him pay—" " Yei, but *"' leave* him roaming around," shrieked en old woman, "and I don't want my boy killed." . " Keep your boy away from him; that's your busineu. Why, madam, don't you know that an elephant's hide and tusks are valuable for mechanical aod euiyieal purposes, and lhat ho is useful in India! Hesid.s, there's tho toll he will pay. We shall by this means get money enough in lhe publio treasury to build schools for a good many boys who are not trampled to death." ' "That's tho plan! Regulate him! Regulsto him I" shouted the crowd,.' So they appointed a great many committees, und drafted constitutions and by-laws, and,circulated petitions, snd by tb* time the elephant hsd , killed several more buys aha trampled dbwn a quantity of eardons they had erected very comfortable tolt-hnuers for the gatekeepon and gates for the elephant, and thon they waited ita great satisfaction to aee the, animal reguleted. Iv-nn IM .Vf Slowly th* groat feet trampled onward i slowly tho great proboscis appeared In view, and with • miff of contempt the elephant lifted the gate from Ita hinges and walked off with It, while the crowd tli* crowd stared after him In dismay.

N THE 10TH OF JANUARY, 1887, the Columbus Newspaper and Printing Concern was purchased by a joint stock company composed of citlmns cf New Westminster, to be known as the "British Columbian Printing Co., Limited." The concern hu been for nearly a year owned and controlled by tho British Columbia Stationery and Printing Company, of New Westminster, Victoria and. Vanoouver, Tho object of the now company is to continue tbe pub* licstion of the British CoirailAN newspaper and carry en a general printing and publishing concern, controlled entirely by thoso whose individual interest it will be to promoto the development,, especially of tho Mainland.' A There will be no sleekening of the energy hitherto displayed in tbo management of the establishment, and its patrons may rely upon receiving full value (er their money, The Columbian will continue to be entirely independent in both Dominion and provinoial politics, aad will devote Itself to the advancement of snch schemes aa may be considered In the public interest. The concern is now entirely separate from any other business, the book and stationery establishment in this city having been taken over by Mr. T, R. Pearson, who will continue to carry It en ln his own namo and for his own benefit. It Is dsslrable that a dally newspaper should be maintained In this eity, ud the new oompany asks for public patronage on the ground that It la engaged in an enterprise calculated to promote the public welfare. It asks that the Columbian be judged on ite own merita ind supported only so long aa ita policy Is consistent with its professions. Ih oon* sequence of thi. busaaeae ohange all ao* connts due the concert must be settled without delay so thtt the books of the former company may be adjusted and olosed.

A False Boom.—Some parties in Victoria recently exhibited specimens of quartz which assayed 9970 to tho ton and claimed thoy had discovered a rich claim en Burrard Inlot. It now turns out that tho specimens wero from California and that the exhibitors were merely trying to boom a mythical Fou Sicamoi's.—A new steamer, tho Red Star, belonging to the Columbia Milling Co., was launched yesterday at Victoria. Aftor a little necessary preparation the Red Star will sail up the Fraser to Port Hammond, whore sho will bo taken on 0. P. R. cars and carried to her destination, the Sicamous waters.

The Medical Talk.—There was a good audienco in the Skating Rink last night to hear Dr. Bentley's medical talk to young men. The lecturo wan excellent as far as it went, but was disappointing to many in its scope and brevity. If the doctor liad gono on for nnother half hour from the point where he stopped he might have accomplished a great deal more for the benefit of his listeners. We hope tliis subject will be taken up again by tlie association. For next Wednesday a grand concert is on the programme. , . . It Wouldn't Go.—Two men were leading a yearling calf along Front st. to day, through Chinatown, and when in front of the now Armstrong build* ing the calf suddenly ducked his head and mado a rush for ono of his loaders. Tho man dodged Iub assailant but the calf ovidently thirsted for blood for he suddenly started to kick and bunt nt everything within his reach. After keeping this state of things up for about live minutes it suddenly started on tho dead run and tho man, only too glad to get the beast to go, gave it the full length of the rope and started at a 2:10 gait with it.

(Correspondence of the Columbian,) Tha council should take some aotlve part in having fixed a small portion pf th. Mud Bay road on the Serpentine flata, whero the corduroy has floated away and left the road almost bottomless and dangerous to both man and beast. A gentleman going aoross it the other day got hia none down in the hole and had'it badly hurt before reaching terra firma. Although the roads all over are in a very bad condition, this is, without exception, the wont short piece, and may be fixed by a few feet of planking laid over the soft place —Some of the new settlen who came to Mud Bay have already •eleoted farms in the neighborhood ot Boundary Bay. Ono of them, Mr. Robinson, preached an excellent sermon in the sohool house at CloverVal- ley last Sunday.—Master Peter Murphy, who has been seriously ill. for the past two weeks, is in a very low oondition. Heisupder Dr. Cooper's care.—Several of the butchen ol Westminstor have been around thii vicinity looking for cattle, which are vory scarce and command a good price.—There is to be a ball in the town hall at Elgin on Friday next.— Mr. William Shannon and wife; who lately oame from the east, are' hew residing in Westminster.—The young men of Surrey will have to look sharp or somo of them will be " getting left,' if they let the gentlemen ot the ad- Joining municipality get too familiar, mt opposition is the life of trade.— M. J. Shannon is busily engaged in getting oot limber for addition to hit barn. •-«>-• __ N.
