'! 1 said: ''What does that mean to met The New Yorkers don't believe in me. How shall I prove that wlmt I have said is true) I will go and complete Li viugstone's 1 work. I will prove that the dis- '. covery of Livingstone was a mere flea-bite. I will prove to them that I am a good man and true.' That's all that I wanted. (Loud cheers.) I accompanied Livingstone's' remains Vo Westminster Abbey. I ! saw. 'hose remains buried which I ; had left sixteen months before eu joying full life and abundant hope. The Daily ^telegraph's proprietor cabled over to Bennett: 'Will you join us in sending Stanley over to complete Livingstone's explorations)' Bennett recetv*sr the' tifi-grrhfi *lh* New York, read it, pondered a moment, snatched a blank, and wrote: 'Yes. .Bennett,'" ri l-.'-Hi We should hail Mr.- Goldwin Smith's entrance into public life. His immense knowledge would add immeasurably to the efficiency of the parliamentary machine, and his high character and stainless honor would furnish no drawback. Glad would we be thut the Liberal-Conservative party should have the honor of I introducing the greatest literary man on this continent into parliament. His whole life has been devoted to the study of politics —the politics of itll times. He is as familiar with the struggles in Athens in thi dayB of Pericles and those whioh issued in the supremacy of Jj-li<% OrM***" in the Roman world lis'h'e js with the politics of the Commonwealth, and he is as familiar with these as with the mighty issues-whioh disturb the capacious brain pan of Mr. Mowat, The pWef of j-eneroliirfng of Such a man, the light of accumulated experience iit which he thinks nn all fiolitical questions would lit of price- ess value;;to parliament. Lutein life John Stuart Mill entered parliament, tiit to our personal know ledge he added more than any dozen men, if we except threo or four, to the effectiveness of the English legislature. Mr. Goldwin Smith's studies, have ,bwn at least as well cnlcuja^ed to ' fit him for public life as thoie) of Mil*, and he is wholly free from tlie crotchets of the philosopher whose mind exhibited shrewd and searching analysis, immense ipeculative grasp, side by side with tile inthuiiosm of tie Jovir who livife iii dreams. We s'ficertily hope Mr. Smith will enter parliament-next election, The constituency whicli secures him as a representative will have a man who, from the first, oan speak on all political questions with an authority second I to no living man —Regina Leader. .-lift.n'i'W *QeW <M.F S-HTW,.: 6imci-c\tsituton _ entmuce of Ooloulnlwi tr et, opposite rear avfaai rtOITfeSf—Hf'iCm; loiiinotSti; t to 5; and 0:30 to 8 p. m. dnolotc H.D.,C.H.

The time will very soon be here when we shnil'have tol nominate some one, un**it-**afbe 4 gfettt pity if, through uurelcssiuwi,.tho oivic chair sbould «o to one who is unworthy to fill it. There are surely ineu among us ablo to take the head of the municipal government and fill it with credit to tlieraselties and the city. It will be a matter of much regret if our presont mayor persists in declining re-nomination. There ought to be nt the helm of affairs a man whose experience and judgment will prevent him plunging us into embarrassment, and whose sole aim will be the advancement of the city's best interests. We don't want a mayor who will assume an attitude of hostility towards the railway compandor who will permit that company to set at defiance the fights and i|tpree_s. J>f the city. .At present' me''* 'CdiS^laiiy is showing a disposition to treat New Westminster fairly, arid it would be a great blunder if any act of ours should have a tendency to destroy the good understanding which now exists. We hope, however, thnt Mr. Dickinson, to whose tact and patience wc! are'* very "greatly indebted for the. railway, may reconsider his deterrainatioH'.'atid consent to remain another year, in the civic chair. In France no government seems able to maintain its authority for an|'length t)f time. The frtntsh ure',nbtoritt_sry fickle, and, besides they jare; extremely impulsive. and fond of show. If a Frenchman has plenty t6 eat- and lots' of 'afcusement he is one of the happiest of mortals, but he can't stand adversity, and ijilould much prefer war.'. It is; somewhat significant that although the government of M. De Freycinet has just been defeated and a new one has been formed under the leadership of'M. Goblet, there has been no change in the minister of wur, Boulanger occupies that place in' the new cabinet, just as lie occupied if in the last. Olio begins to suspect that, after all, Boulanger is the. real. head of the government, and that the policy df the whole country must be kept subservient to the; exigencies, of war. "Boulanger seems to enjoy to a great extent tlie confidence of the French people. He is brilliant, and seems to have been wonderfully successful in-placing the army on a solid footing. It may be doubted if there is anywhere in the world a more thoroughly equipped and better drilled army than .that of France. From despatches received this aftornoon it will 'be.'deen tlmt considerable uneasiness exists in. Europe, and no one can toll how speedily these vast military preparations may be tested. France and- Germany continue to regard each' other with increasing hatred, and**bjfpiie"pf rmaneht peace can he secured for Europe, the power of one of them must be broken.

The classes were first examined , iii reading, and all from the smallest boy in Primer I. to the fifth reader exhibited the greatest care and ability in training. It is a question whether so large a number 'of excellent readers can be found in any school in the district. Next followed geography, arithmetic and (-rammar, in nll of whioh the pupila displayed great accuracy, promptness and intelligence, reflecting much credit upon themselves and their teacher. The programme was pleasantly interspersed with songs, readings and recitations, most creditably rendered. The many visitors, Indies and gentlemen, who attended, coming through a heavy rain and almost impassable roads, attested the hearty interest taken m the school and the high esteem in which the teacher, Mr. McLennan, is held by the entire community. Short addresses were made by the three trustees nud many of the visitors expressing themselves aa highly gratified by the advancement mnde by the pupils,.

Editor Colombian: In your issue of Nov, 20th you have an article on anarchism in which you quote, from the Chicago Inter-Ocean, and in addition you say: " It is a pity-the mayors of American cities and the American press did not think of this sentiment when they were conniving at the organization and plans of the Fen inn brotherhood, which was quite as bomb-throwing and murderous as the anarchists." You say "the mayors of American cities," but when we consider how many cities there are in the United States, aud how muoh business of a local character their mayors have to attend to, it will readily be seen that they have no timo to spend in affairs other than their own, The Fenian ope rations were carried on in some of the eastern cities along the boundary line between the United States and Canada, where uo doubt they had emissaries, and were confined to foreigners. There may have been Boino Americans, bnt they were Irish-American, , In regard to the American press exposing tliem: their workings were like the mOlflB, in secret, until the grand expo»e came. The difference between the Fenian brotherhood aud the anarchists is of oourse apparent, Oiie aimed to strike a foreign country and the other our own. What would bo winked at in one case would not bo tolerated in the other. An Josh Billings says, "It makes a pile of difference whose dog's tail the tin-kcttlc it tied to." The United States has always pro- served a strict neutrality, as Is shown by statistics. In 17KI, during the war between Kngland and France, we wore neutral. In 100.5, while Mr, Jefferson was president, he sent out a licet of vessels to enforce this measure in American waters. In 1818, also lfi:w uud 1840,tho same precautions m«io used.

She at lirst. swore that thd Duke of Marlborough and Lady Colin octi-p. **d the same apartment for an entire week at Leigh court and afterwards testified that tHe l)t.ke of Marlborough wus at Leigh court only 2 nights. Tho judge deohiftd* that hebelieved Roso Baer had invented the story about Lady Colin and the Duko of Marlborough sitting together like lovers oil a bench in Paddington station. Lord Colin's conduct to his wife while she was in Paris, on one occasion, when he telegraphed to the Paris police to arrest her and lodge hor in the prostitutes' prison,' 3 ustico Butte characterized as outrageous, remarking tliat he nevor hnd-kiwmi of anything more dishonest than Lord Colin's allegation to the Parjf officials that liis wife was living in opL-iV^flulter?

Butler's absence' aa ovidonco of guilt on Lady Colin's pnrt. Replying to the question of a juryman the" judge said Butler waB beyond tho jurisdiction of the court and a subpeenae could uot compel . him tu testify. By being made a co-rOdpoudent he was protected by tho clause of the law which makes it. impossible to lisk An incriminating question, unless it was a voluntary one. The case waa then given to the jury and thoy retired. At 10 o'clock they returned ■ witli a verdict. They found that Lord 'Colin Campbell had not committed adultery, and that Lady Colin hud not committed adultery with any of the co-respondents. Tho jury added as a "rid#r'' that the conduct of Geiu Butler wa» unworthy of a gentleman and officer and had caused the only difficulty which the jury had experienced in reaching a decision. Tho announcement of the verdict wns received with applause.* The newspapers in their comments on tho Campbell trial express tiie opinion that although the verdict is unsatisfactory the jury could have come to no other conclusion and thut the case shows the necessity of tho alteration of divorce plrooeodings in the direction nf camera trials.

It will be remembered that Father Fahey interceded with Agent Lewis of the Carrickort estates in behalf of a number of tenants belonging to the priest's parish in Woodford and who were unable to pay their rent. Eviction was threatened, and Father Fahgy, went, to save them from being put into the roadway. Mr. . Lewis treated the priest harshly, and he said to Mr. Lewis," Ypp are hard-hearted towards'God's poor; may you repent of it." Lewis at once had the priest arrested and charged him with threatening his life, even going so far as to declare that-Father Fahey aaid, the would' havo him murdered. The magistrate ordered Father Pahey to givo bail for good behavior or go tci jail. He refused to furnish bail, for tho reason that it would be regarded as an admission that the charges agaiuBt him wore true. He was accordingly imprisoned.. Tho. priest has met with an ovation, and Galway will be illuminated to-night in hiB honor.
