I POLITICAL NOTES. DEATH OF BISHOP D'HERBOMEZ. The Aged Prelate Panes Away After a Long Illneil.—Short Sketch of an Eventful Life. his intellect remained unimpaired to the last, a very unusual occurrence for men who have spent so long a life of brain work as had His Lordship. It had been apparent for several days that the sufferer's end was near, and His Lordship on Tuesday morning remarked to his attendants that he feared he would not last much longer. Shortly before the time of his expiration the attendant observed a change, and hastily summoned Father Fa yard, but before that gentleman could reach the bedside the end of a long, busy, and good life had come. Tho gentleness aud patience for which the deceased prelate was so noted among those with whom he came in contact, wero ever noticeable throughout his long and painful illness. The solemn mass of Requiem for the repose of the deceased's soul will take filace at St. Peter's Cathedral, com men c- ng at 0 o'clock to-morrow morning, and will be followed hy the interment, which will tako place at St. Mary's Mission. The Indians who arc at present assembled at Sechelt for a spiritual retreat under Bishop Durien and several priests, arrived in the city this morning to be present for the obsequies, and left this afternoon for the Mission to attend 4he funeral. All that was mortal of the late bishop was lying In state yesterday, enclosed in a plain casket, at the palace on Blackwood street, and was removed to the cathedral tliis morning. So closely was the deceased prelate connected with the establishment of the Roman Catholic Missiou in the early days in this Province that we give a HISTORY OP HIS LIFE. The late Bishop D'Herbomez was born in 1822, at Brillon, Diocese of Earnbrai, in France. Ho studied at the Diocesan Seminary, and in 1848 entered the congregation of the missionaries Oblates of Mary Immaculate, after which be was ordained a priest by tbe founder of the order, Mgr. Eugene de Mastenod, who at that time was the Bishop of Marsailles, and sent to Oregon to join the other members of the congregation, who had established missions iu that territory some time previously. Embarking at Marsailles. he reached Vancouver, -Wash., after a voyage of six mouths, and in 1851 he was removed toOlympia. From thence the Rev. Father Ricourd, Superior of the Oblates in Oregon, sent the deceased priest to establish the mission of St. Joseph at Attanorn, Yakima Co., where the fate Rev. Father Chirouse was engaged in instructing the Indians. Recalled to Olympia in 1853 some years were spent in visiting and instructing tho Indians scattered about Puget Sound, until, in 1858, at the earnest request of Bishop Demers, of Vancouver Island, he was appointed superior of the Oblates on the Pacific Coast, when he transferred his head- Suarters to Esquimalt. In 1860 Father I'Herbomez extended his good work to this Provinco, by sending two Oblate fathers to establish a missiou for the Indians of the Fraser River at this city, having previously established one at Okanngan Lake, and 1802 the well- known St. Mary's mission was founded by him. At the request of Bishop Demers, the holy father, created British Columbia into a vicarate-apostolic, with the then Father D'Herbomez, first vicar- apostolic, and on the 7th October, 1804, Buy and Sell Real Estate, Manage Estates for non-residents, Make Investments for Clients, Negotiate Loans, Collect Rents, Write Insurance. | AGENTS PORi Commercial Union Insuranoe Co. of London.

Colonial Blook, New Westminster, B. C. dapwu Nothing was talked of on the streets ycBtorday or last night, but Mayor Brown's great meeting. It waB conceded on every hand that a moro complete victory was never gained in this city. Busiuess on the political stock exchange to-duy was brisk. The latest authentic quotations give the following: "Brown stock, at premium, demand very Btrong. Cunningham chances, very feeble; going down steadily; no demand, all holders selling out at any price." Another interesting bulletin from the front, from our special war correspondent, will be found in another column. It will be seen that the noblo band of patriots—the dauntless eight—are overcoming all obstacles on thoir wny te the ,sea, and the Independent corps is plainly in the lead. A grand political meeting was held in the Imperial Opera House at Vancouver last night, which was addressed in turn by all the candidates for the representation of the Terminal Citv, eight in number, each Bpeaker being limited to twenty minutes. Capt. R. O. Tatlow and Mr. F. C. Cotton made the best speeches of the evening, and appealed to be the favorites of the electors assembled. Mr. Thos. Cunningham was slightly and unintentionally misroported in our report yesterday of tho meeting on Tuesday night. Mr. Cunningham did not say "he wus not suro whether he had voted on the Redistribution Bill or not," as our reporter inadvertently got it, but that remark referred to the live per cent, royalty clause in n railway aid act, whoreby certain railway companies woro empowered to exact a royalty of five per cent, on all minerals found within their land grants from the Government; and. it Bhould be stated, also, that it was this provision which Mr. Cunningham fiaid he would "have voted against, and taken his chances, an hour afterwards." Mr. Cunningham's explanation for his absence from the House on a certain occasion waB necessarily jammed into a couple of lines'yesterday. In effect, the explanation was that the time of his obsence was the occasion of Mr. Semlln's "want of confidence" motion in tho Government, and not when the redistribution question was before the House at all, These corrections and amendments nre only just to Mr. Cunningham. PERSONAL. Tlie Hon. John Robson anived in the City to-day. Mr. J. Johnson, of Centrevllle, is in the City, a guest at the Colonial. Mr. D. W. Buchanan, representing that well-known and popular periodical, tlie Winnipeg Commercial, is in the city, nnd will remain a few days.

(From our Si.ei.fnl War Correspondent). Mission, .lime 4.—Tho grand tour of the district candidates was resumed at 4 o'clock on Tuesday morning, when tho good steamer Delaware wns chartered and transported the party Home twelve miles up-river and landed them ou the other side at the limekilns. Up to this the country have that better would be done for us in tbe future than in the future than in the past; tbat promises would he better kept than iu the paBt or that a just Redistribution Bill would be ever passed through the House?" There was no guarantee, and consequently he could not support a a Government to.carry out measures in the future which it had failed in the past. He was inclined to think that if Mr. Robson were returned to power he would do the same thing over again. Mr. Robson seemed to think the country could not get along without him. This was n great mistake; the country would not object seriously to Mr. Robson's re- point the nartv had been transported,- ™ u" ° ZiT ffiiJi1'""TZ IZ not with rieliolit of amnio: hu£-hv fl(1: tuement and doubt ess good and true not with delight of course, but—by tlie steamer; after this the walk of four miles over a rough trail, full of bog holes and iu the midst of u shower of fain, was anything but delightful. On arriving at Agassi/. Station, shortly after 7 a. in., a general wringing out was gone through, and tbe candidates then sat down to wait for 1) o'clock, the hour fixed for tbe political meeting. The hour came and went, hut only half a dozvu people turned up, owing probably to the wetness of the morning, consequently uo meeting was held. The half dozen fanners, however, wero good material for the candidates to work on, and iu littlo knots politics ran high and the situation was thoroughly dfseuBsed. From nil that could bo learned the large -majority of tho electors are prepared to voto against the present Government, and not without good reason. Many of the settlers have held their lunds for 25 years, ini- roved them and paid taxes, but have ad scarcely a dollar paid back in the fay of public improvements. There is not a public highway in the settlement except the road leading to the Hot Springs, and that only accommodates a : „ , tl • ,,,_ ,,,„ ,*„„ t„k« »_,*,_... few. Promises have been made time !«*'»*» ,»** tm\ Hon. John Robson men would be found who would fill his position with just as much ability and probably to tlie greater satisfaction of the country. Mr. Robson had childishly threatened to Bay "good-bye" to Westminster District did the electors fail to send two good Government supporters with him to the House; as far ns he was concerned he did not think the country would Buffer much loss if the Hon. Premier should speak the purling words. Dr. Boddington concluded by asking the electors to vote only for the Independent candidates: those pledged/to a new policy and a new party. The speech was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and so telling wero the doctor's remarks that what was at the first supposed to be a Government meeting, turned out to be a Government defeat, which oven the candidates on that ticket were obliged to acknowledge. CORRESPONDENCE. PUBLIC HOMY, EJpivoB Columbian—Sir: Will you nnd again; stakes havo been driven here and there about election time, but with no results; and, consequently, the people are dissatisfied and anxious for a change, which, be it what it may, the settlers argue, cannot place them in a orse position than they are in at pres- ut. The feeling certainly is against the present administration, and the settlers say they are not to be humbugged any longer by empty promises. liUUTON PJtAlllIK. Leaving Agassis at 11.30 a.m., the candidates proceeded by rail to Burton Prairie, and held their meeting in the school house. Twenty-five settlers turned up and Mr. R. Burton was elected to the chair, aud Mr. W. Butt was appointed secretary. The chairman filled the position with credit to himself and tlie meeting. Several Indies were present and seemed to enjoy the meeting very much. The candidates delivered their addresses in turn and wero all given a patient hearing. This District is supposed to be a straight Government stronghold, but such does not turn out to bo the case, It ifl true He Hon. Mr. Robson has many Mends i.i the vicinity of Burton Prairie, and that he will poll a good voto there goes without saying, but to say the Government party, as a whole, is Btrong is a great mistake, which will be amply proved on the 13th. From all your correspondent could learn the people aro satisfied that only straight Independent men should be sent to the House, and tlio ballot paper on polling day will be marked at Burton Prairie for two at least of the Independent ticket, lu conversation with several of the leading sattlers it was learned that the people of Burton Prairie are by no means in fnvor of the present Government, and the preponderance of Victorians in tho cabinet This they will ondeavor to change by supporting Independent ean- 6'toe llMeln«SSht W». given ,.t j ™™ taX"'S" rc'tmiraneX-the 4i... , i...,i .........i .!.... i,._ _..,.,,..,.•!.,.. aim i i: boasts that New Westminster District gets her share of the school fundi, when 1'ort Moody school, with an average attendance of 36, aud Ladner's, with 38, only get $55 a month each; whilst South Saanich, with an average of 35, gets $80 a mouth, and a free house, out of the public school money.

HltOWN. Editoh Columbian—Sir — I gather from an article in Truth this morning that Mr. Cunningham and his friends fancy they have made a telling point out of the fact tbat I had not read the so-called Lien Laws of the Province. Neither have I read tho mass of legal rubbish which, under the name of Lien Luwb, the class legislators have attempted to palm off on the workingmen for many years. I know that these laws are not workable—mere samples of how not to do it, in fact. The theory of these legislators seems to be that advanced by Mr. Cunningham at his meeting on May 27th, "tbat workingmen did not comprehend" what they wanted in this matter. 1 have, however, read the Ontario Lien Act, which many workmen who do "comprehend what they want" tell me is u good model. And I have also read a good deal of tolerably sound literature bearing on the duties which men owe to their neighbors, which literature is probably a better guide in such matters as that under discussion, than the legal fossils from the study of which Mr. Cunningham seems to have derived so little advantage. Let me remind your readers of the fact that at the meeting on Tuesday I made a statement nf what appeared to the latter gentleman was consecrate Bishop of MelitopoliB. After visiting the various tribes of Indians in the interior of the Province. the ever watchful clergyman established the William's Lake mission in 1800, nnd the Stuarts Lake mission in 1868. Called to the Holy See to take part in the Vatican Council in 1860, he returned, in spite of his bad health, to continue his noble work among the Indians of this Province, and in 1874 he founded the mission nt Kootenay. Recalled to Rome in 1887 to attend another council, he returned with his health completely shattered, never again to take au active part in the government of the Vicarate; but on October 7th of last year he celebrated tho silver jubilee of his consecration as bishop. His Holiness Pope Leo XIII sent the deceased prelate his apostolical benediction during the crista of his illness, in October last, and this was repeated a short time before death terminated the sufferings of the veteran (missionary. POLICE COURT. IBeforc T. C. Atkinson, P. M., and P. McTiernan, J, P.] August Anderson, for being drunk and disorderly, was fined $1.00 and costs. James Preston, for being disorderly within the City limits. This is the individual who raised such a rumpus ou Columbia street opposite the Hotel Douglas, where he was employed, Tuesday evening, and whom it took the combined efforts of the whole police force nnd several citizens to land in the nearest police station. At 6:30 a.m. next morning ho gave $10.00 bail and wns released Jack, a Fort Rupert Indian, for being drunk and disorderly, was remanded. John, another of the same tribe, for having an intoxicant iu his possession; was romanded, A man well-known among the old inhabitants of the City, was charged with stealing two shovels ami i hoe, the property of one Palmer, pleaded not guilty, but after taking the evidence the magistrate salted him down in the Moresby House for one month. Jonathan, an Indian of the Fort Rupert tribe, was fined $30 and given two months for having a small bottle in his possession. HMT Jack a brother of Jonathan for havmi to much aboard was fined $10, and wil Bpend the same time at the Moresby summer resort as will his brother boozer, Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. INFORMATION WANTED. Editor Columbian—Sir: Would your classical editor kindly inform your readers whether Eudamidas referred to by " Juvenis" in your issue of Muy 31st was a brother of Ajax. the celeorated Grecian hero, or son of Aliens, father of the lesser Ajax. Although "Juvenis" implies by his communication that his Eudamidat was a noted personage, the author of the Iliad seems to have known nothing of him. 7>, The Weitmlniter Southern. The other day Dan. McKeller and Baird took to saddle and went out to where construction work is progressing on the railroad between here and New Westminster. Thoy found 300 men at work. The grade Is finished to within four miles of Blaine, and the slashers are now camped a mile and a half north of Blaine, and working rapidly this wny. The graders are blowing stumps dear over the tops of the surrounding forest. It is a strange coincidence that both ships loaded with iron for tho railroad north from Blaine have put into the Falkland islands, off the east coast of Patagonia for repairs. They are expected to arrive in good season howevor.—Blaine Journal, gentleman had stated that he supported the general policy of the Government, but opposed it in the Redistribution Bill, its luud policy and in several other little matters. Mr. Punch asked Capt. Thompson to explain what portion of the Government policy he really supported when he was opposed to so many of tlie main features. This was rather a puzzle, and Capt. Thompson got out of it liy a most evasive reply to the effect that he "supported that part which refers to the advancement of the Mainland generally, aud that part in particular lead by Hon, John Robson." As might be expected thiB naive reply caused a storm of laughter, during which the Bpeaker stepped from the platform and resumed his seat. One peculiar feature of this meeting waB that each ono of the candidates pledged himself to vote the Government out of power on the first possible occasion. Even Mr. Henderson and Mr. Kirkland and Capt. Thompson promised to do this if the Government failed just once in the quality of the measures laid before the House. From this it is inferred that the Government followers are hold by a very light leash indeed, nnd which is very liable to bo snapped asunder on the slightest pretext. After passing a vote of thanks to Mr. Burton, the chairman, for the able manner in which he had performed his duties, the candidates, bade an affecting farewell to the electors nnd took up the line of inarch on foot, via C. P. R., for the Mission. The column arrived in great disorder and it was thought for a time that a few of the candidates had beon captured by the enemy and taken away to some dark dungeon cell; but these fears happily proved unfounded, for when the roll waB called at tho supper table the stragglers had all arrived and the ranks were found to be intact and unharmed. THK MISSION MKKTINU. At 7 o'clock the meeting wns held in the school house, nud was presided over by Dr. Boddington. The candidates went over their platform one by one: r II promised tho same benefits, all agreed to the same principles, and really left the electors nothing to choose from iu t!ie way of platforms, making it only a choice of candidates ou their personal Merits. Mr. Henderson aunportcd the Government because he had been Bent twice to Victoria for money for Chilli- vaek and each time went home with 1500 in his pocket. He considered any Government bo liberal and munificent as this should be eapported by the entire country. He riso pointed out tho wonderful fact that tho Government could borrow money r.t fair interest, and he thought that should not bo lost sight of. Mr. Kitchen opposed tho Government ou open ground, denying the liberality of its (.eneral policy, und pointing out the many instances of unfairness it had exhibited in dealing with Westminster district, the richest, largest nnd most ]>opulous in the Province. His remarks were well received. Mr. Punch and Mr, Sword laid down their straight Independent platform and promised a faithful service in the interests of the constituency. Capt, Thompson, Mr. Herring, Mr. Sinclair and Mr. Kirkland also spoke, and it was a hard matter to de- cldo who was the most popular candidate. At the conclusion of the speaking. Dr. Boddington took the platform ana mnde the speech of the evening. Ho said that if thu candidates wero only able to do all they had promised the whole eight of them should be elected [laughter), He thought the whole problem resolved itself into the question of the Government's trustworthiness. Wu all knew what the Government had done in the past, and the problem now ie: "If the Government is sent back to powor with the same stong following, and the same cabinet retained, what guarantee would think that statement was received with approval by the audience. This would appear to show that I have profited rather more by my study of the subject than Mr. Cunningham has by a brain-sweating which has only led him to the conclusion "that workingmen don't comprehend what they want."

Editor Columbian—Sir: An we have many new coiners amongst ua who have no knowledge of the peculiarities of Mr, Robson, it will bo advisable to recall some facts which will be quite familiar to many of your readers. A bill known as the Settlement Bill was passed in the Local Legislature some six or seven years ugo. It was the embodiment of im agreement effected by the Local Government, of which Mr. Robson was one of the Ministers. It was, according to the statements of Mr. Robson and his colleagues, intended to smooth away all tlie difficulties which existed between this Province and the Dominion Government. One of the real grievances of which this Province had to complain was the great loss to our people in consequence of the non-fulfilment by the Dominion Government, of the agreement to construct a railway.. As you may probably remember, the peoplo of the Mainland were the only sufferers, because the suspense and almost paralysis to business created by the uncertainty as to the probable line to be chosen, caused much suffering nud. in many cases great loss. The Island, i.e. Victoria, used every effort to have the line carried by. way of Bute Inlet, which would have completely cut off all the centres of population on the Mainland from participation in its benefits. After much discussion tho Government at Ottawa agreed to pay to the Province of British Columbia the sum of seven hundred aud fifty thousand dollars in satifiiction of all claims to the date of the Settlement Bill, nnd of course at least one half of this Bum belonged of right to the Mainland. Hon. Mr. Robson is never ceasing in his assertions na to his indefatigable efforts ou behalf of the constituents: did he secure the proper apportionment of the $750,000? Not at all. The whole sum was coolly appropriated by the Local Government towards tho construction of the Island Railway, with which the Mainland had not the remotest concern. Some well founded protest, were made by Mainland members against such an unjust disposition of the money, but although their claims wero admitted they wore told that the Government—as a solatium—would set aside the proceeds from tho sale of the Esquimalt Graving Dock—about two hundred and forty thousand dollars—which was to be given to the Mainland. Mr. Robson, of course, saw that this money was paid. Not at all, After n long poriod nt anxious expectation, some Mainland member enquired about tho $240,000, when he was told that It had gone into the general revenue 1 Mr. Robson—at the last election—told the people of this district at several meetings, tuat a largo sum was undoubtedly due to the Mainland from the Dock money, nnd he wns going to see that it was distributed, the largest sums to go to tho good communities that elected him and bis supporters; but not a cent haa ever been received above what the several municipalities were entitled to, from tbe ordinary appropriations. From this the electors will see that Mr. Robson's promises aro liko the proverbial nio crust, and it Is time that men should be elected who will go down to the Legislature pledged to look after this money. It would be a valuable help towards tho construction "of a traffic bridge across the Fraser, if it could bo even temporarily used in that way; at any rate it must be secured for • ' " r '-■-' Vkoman. the ftlninlahd.

On account of the .small scale grasshopper plague in the Nicola District Inst year, the Provincial Government appropriated, nt the last session of the House, the sum of $1,800 to aid the distressed Bottlers to'buy seed grain for their Jields this year. The evil minded Opposition, of course, took a cynical view of this charitable proceeding, and insinuated that the proximity of the general elections had more than a little to do with the Government's paternal- neBB. On the face of things, it would appear that the Government's intern i tions were beneficent in the matter; aud if real distress did exist, und worthy cases hnd been sought ont and supplied with seed grain (not money), nctiording to their needs and the fund at the die- posal of the Government, there would have been no excuse for the most rabid opponent of the Government to find fault. But, - aB the appropriation has been administered, a most unmis takable and regrettable scandal has been given rise to, which Is current throughout the whole upper country at least. Of this we have beeu informed verbally by men of the most unquestioned integrity and non-political in their occupations and predilections. To this evidence of tho scandal, and also as proving that there arc too good grounds for its existence, we quote, by permission, from a private letter received from n prominent Westminster gentleman now in the interior, and who has recently been through the Nicola country. The correspondent in question says: "I returned last night from the Nicola valley, and while there I learned something about the distribution of the Government grant to the poor farmers of Nicola Valley that ought to bo generally known. In the first place, there were only three, some think four, who ought to have received anything, nnd they were crippled by the grasshopper plague, but outside of these three there was not one who could, if they had had half the self-respect of somo of the Siwashes, take a cent from the Government. I will give you a list of such as I can remember who accepted aid that have disgraced themselves by ao doing [wo put dashes instead of the names given- En. ]: Mr. received $150; he-is worth from $12,000 to $15,000. Messrs, A ,$200, and Mr. is reported as worth $30,000. Mr. $150, worth $10,000. And Una to enable him to buy seed grain, but he had ample grain in hia barn for seed; besides he haa within a fortnight sold considerable. There nre other cases quite as inconsiderate, for instance, Mr. , who has money nt interest aud is recognized as a man of means, received $25 to compensate him for damage done by the grasshoppers to a little patch in front of his house. Comment is unnecessary." The testimony of tho abovo letter is too circumstantial to be doubted, taken together with other trustworthy evidence bearing upon the same subject. Certainly tho transactions described do pot reflect credit upon either the Gov eminent or tho undeserving recipients of Government bounty, to put it mildly. If no corrupt motives are, charitably, attributed, gross negligence and.utter lack of discrimination in administering tho appropriation in nid of the distressed farmers of Nicola must be laid at the door of the Government. According to all the light which is being thrown upon thematter, the alleged distress in Nicola, caused by tho locusts last year, has been greatly exaggerated by some one. PRINCE BISMARCK AT HOME. The world still rotates although the "active political lifo of one of the great- " est men that ever directed affairs of " state" has come to an end apparently. Thus wo have once moro learned the solemn truth that "no man is necessary." One morning civilization awoke to Hnd tho "iron chancellor" gone, und for a moment all Europe paused breathless, almost expecting the heavens to fall whilst oven in tho new world expectant curiosity watched fur new devol- opmets of a startling nature in tho making of history. Things went on much aB usual, men toiled, women wept, nnd still pursued the race for existence; but although statesmen predicted all kinds of complications and calamities as a consequence of the great man's displacement, "Whatgnvc rise to no little surprise, No one seemed ono penny tho womb," The fact is, Bismarck had filled bis part in tho world's comedy, and iu a very short timo will excite much the same kind of interest in men's minds as Ciesar, Alexander, Cromwell or George Washington, a vivid and keen interest without doubt,, but of au academic order. It has been so much the custom to think only of Bismarck as the man of blood and iron, the moulder of a nation, that the moro attractive sides of his Individuality have been cast in the shade. He is a student, and is so completely a master of English literature as to be perfectly acquainted with the works of our great poets, and almost equally at homo in obscure and forgotten works of second rate writers. On the spur of the moment he has been known to quote some twonty Hues of Latin Hookh. He is known as being a good landlord, taking an intelligent interest in nil agricultural pursuits, a passionate sportsman and a splendid horseman. A first rate shot, he can with a pistol decapitate ducks as they swim on his ponds at Kniephof. His powers of endurance are remarkable. After the battle of Sedan he was in the saddle from six in the morning until midnight. Senti mental Ism Is a strong factor iu his character. "I took a boat on the " Rhine," ho wrote to his wife, " and " then swam in the moonlight to the Rat '' Towor. There is something strangely " dreamy to lie on tho waters on a still ' night, with moon and stars above, and ' on either hand the wood capped motm- ' tains." Who could imagine such words horn the "Raw Head" of the French nursery.. The fact is he .combines the clear, cool, calculating craft of Mephistophelei with the passionate and sentimental heart of Marguerite. A strong belief in Christianity, not one creed or another, runs through his life. He said " a certain measure of positive " Christianity is necessary to man in " order to prevent him becoming dan- " gerous to society." His loyalty partook of tlie old cavalier type, " for " God and the King." "By nature I "am disposed to be a Republican; I " derive my sense of duty from God, and " that is why I am a Royalist. Sever " my connection with God, and I am " the man to pack up my trunks to- " morrow and be off to Varzin to reap " my oats." "Christianlty/'heheld, "i " not the creed of court chaplains.1 Quakerism seems to be the basis of his character, paradoxical aa it appears to speak of htm as being allied in any way to tbe teachings of Fox. Bismarck is not an orator as eloquence goes, but if oratory is tested by the faculty to influence, then he is the most eloquent man in Europe. Now and then he rises into the realm of rhetoric. What a striking phrase was that about the God of battles shaking the iron dice of destiny from His hands! His private life has ever been most singularly happy. He wos his mother's boy, and his relations with his only Bister were almost idyllic. His wife is of the true German pattern, simple, homely aud intelligent. She wears her plain old-fnshioned black bonnet, and amid the cares of state "wishes he was " back among the turnips." How different is all this from the craft of diplomacy which haB come to be synonymous with the name of Bismarck, and yet how natural and manly it all Ib. He Is back among his turnips and his oats now, for which he so often longed when he had kingdoms to play with and it is to be supposed that the long life of patriotic statesmanship will close amid the peaceful surroundings of the country gentleman's career. His bucolic tastes, his love of literature and delight in home, shed a new light on the man of blood and iron. After all there is a deal of humanity in man. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla.

JUNE 5. 11)90. FORT LANGLEY ITEHS. \From Our Own Correspondent.] Langley, June 2.—AVe read your exhaustive account of our political meeting here last week with gratification. Naught exaggerated, and naught set down in malice. A high degree of excitement still prevails, and our projected gathering in a few days to make a choice of three members for Westminster District out of the large number of aspirants for political honors, from which we havo to make a selection, bids fair to prove of unusual interest, in the present troubled state of the electoral atmosphere. As to the Hon. John Robson, there would have been, little likelihood of opposition to bis re-election but for tho redistribution measure of hist session and the apparently uncertain action of himself and colleagues in the case of the Mainland representation. You have, bowever discussed iu Tin; Columbian this point so ably that your readers are well informed us to what are the real grounds upon which opposition to the re-election of those who drugged the Island voters with their electoral sops, should be grounded. There was u new English church consecrated on the Prairie liero vestorday, Trinity Sunday, by Bishop Sillitoe, who, with his chaplain, opened the sacred edifice for Christian worship. Tlie divine service would have been much more largely attended, but for the very unpropitioiiB. weather. The rain, however, was so heavy and persistent that many who purposed joining in the holy ordinance were reluctantly unable to be present, and owing to the same hindrance, a service in tho evening which was to bo conducted by the Bishop In the school houso here, could not be fully attended by the local congregation. Notwithstanding the continuous downpour the river ntilT gradually goes down, and the water on the prairie lauds is fast subsiding. You may look out for an increase in the retail price of meat in the Royal City, if what is reported here be authentic, namely, that your butchers have formed what might be called a "ring," and tvill not purchase stock from here coming by steamer, unless through one party, who will not buy except at a price fixed by himself. He will then sell to the victuallers. If true, they ought to be looked to without delay. One party had four calves here on Saturday, in fair condition, which had to be brought home again from New Westminster, as he could not dispose of them except through this particular agent, at least so he stated. FEANK BOOTH, Licensed City Scavenger, Orders Promptly Attended to. dmySSml Address P. O. Another Hcnllng Boat. Capt. J. G. Cox, who returned last evening from the Sound, succeeded, while in Port Townsend, iu negotiating the purchase of another very creditable addition to the Victoria scaling fleet in the shape of the trim littlo 55 ton schooner Mischief, four years old, now lying at Port Townsend. It is expected that the Mischief's transfer to Victoria owners will bo completed this week. Tho V. S. revenue cutter Boar was still in Seattle when Cajit. Cox left,awaitingordei'B. Her destination is as much a matter of conjecture in the Sound city as it in in this city.—Colonist of Tuesday. Burned to Death. j'Little four-year-old Nellie Currie, wtioie parents live on Nelson street, was burned to death yesterday afternoon by her clothes catching fire from a burning root on a vacant lot near where her parents' house is situated. The little child vta% out playing with her elder sister at tho time. When the dress caught on fire the flames spread rapidly, completely enveloping her und fright fining her sister, who ran crying tor her mother. The mother hurried to the child's rescue, and found that she had fallen over on her face and was lying lifeless on the ground. The arms, hands and face of the little thing were terribly burned, and it is supposed that when it fell it lay in such a way that it was suffocated.—Sunday's Advertiser, Flffhthiff a Punt■■(•.'• A few days ago, says the Colonist, as James Knight, of Shelter Point, near Nanaimo, was working in the woods close to his own house and barn, he heard a series of squeals from a litter of little pigs which were running about the garden. Going in the direction of the sounds he discovered a panther of very large proportions carrying oil* one of his porkers. Running to the house, with all possible speed, lie secured his gun, his dog in tho meantime chasing the marauder which took to the trees. Taking aim at the beast, whoso glistening eyes shone through the foliage, aud whose growls made it impossible to mistake his whereabouts, ho brought the animal down, preventing him making a dying charge by a well directed shot into his brain. This brute, and several others of his kind, with the assistance of the bears in the neighborhood, have latterly made considerable havoc among the smaller domesticated animals, uud it Ib proposed, ere long, to organize a shooting party with the object ot exterminating them, Mr. Thos. Keith, the newly elected member for Nanaimo City, is a native of Belfast, Ireland, abont 38 years old. He has been in Canada nearly four years, and lias resided both in Montreal and Vancouver. Ho has strong views on the labor question, ond thinks "that a more progressive policy is needed for the development ot British Columbia's unbounded resource.!." His practically trained mind and good common sense views on the present requirements of this country will, when he gets into Parliament, make him a formidable opponent of old fogey ism.—Times.

Outside this pledge I claim tho privilege of being allowed to support anv legislation-of a just and beneficial nature which may bo introduced by tho Government. I wlll endeavor to Impress upon tbe Government tho necessity of tho utmost liberality In the expenditure tor the opening up of all agricultural districts and oven, It necessary, to borrow money for this purpose. The conservation of all public lands for actual settlement, ond the abolition of all sales of land In largo areas, wlll be ono of tho chief objects I shall hold In view, and to also assist In tho greatest amount of land being brought Into cultivation. I would advoeato the Wild Land Tax being raised to 25 cents per acre. It wlll also bo my endeavor to Impress upon the Government tho absolute necessity of taking steps to assist In the reclamation of the large area of land subject to overflow by the Frasor, so us tn render it ull lit for cultivation, feeling sure thnt any money spent in that direction will hon good Investment, as the lands will be greatly enhanced In valuo for assessment.

' Tho Delaware camo down from Chiili- wack and way ports this afternoon, bringing 25 passengers, 385 bales of hay, 23 sackB of oats, 20 sacks potatoes, 10 boxes eggs, 10 boxes butter, Q calves, 2 bundles hides, 13 hogs, 2 cases pottery, and a large consignment of miscellaneous produce Puget Sound wreckers intend shortly to commence work upon tho hnll of the old steamer Idaho, which came to grief near Race Rocks, last year, and now lies in Port Townsend boy. It Is supposed that her boilers' and something else—it is not known what—are still clinging to her, ns a clumsy weight attached to hor bottom prevents her floating in less than ten fathoms of water, The morning paper is acting the hull in the china shop again. In this mom* lug's issue it says that tiie C. P. R. in its superb new map of its transcontinental system has failed to put Wostminster on the map nt all. Any one, who examines tho map will see that Westminster is printed in large totters where It should be, ami is given a large degree of prominence. What's tho matter with Truth's "dexter optic cord?" So Homos to Kent. It is astonishing how very few vacant houses there are in the city at the present lime, and very few know of this fact until they try to rent one. It is well known that many families are obliged to live in the various hotels until there is nn opportunity to obtain a house and indeed several men nre obliged to keep their families in Vancouver for the very reason that they are unable to get a house in the city, even though there are a very large large number building in various directions. The real estate men say that thoy are continually receiving applications for bouses, and one agent declares that last month he received at least fifty such applications. This is a very prosperous state of things, and the outlay of a few thousands of dollars in this direction would result in a handsome interest on the amount invested. The Baptlit Social. A most pleasant entertainment was held in the Olivet Baptist Church last evening, it being the occasion of a reception to the new pastor, the Rev. Mr. Best, late of Brandon, Man., and a farewell to Mr. Fisher, who assumed the duties of pastor at the time of the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Baldwin. The entertainment commenced with songs, choruses, readings and recitations, all of which were well received and enthusiastically applauded. After these exercises were performed Mr. Fisher was presented with a gold-headed ebony cane, accompanied by an appropriate address to which Mr. Fisher replied in feeling terms. Refreshments, which were heartily partaken of by all present, were served by the ladies of the church, and at 10:.'-() o'clock the audience dispersed well pleased with the evening's entertainment. • *—*_.« Albert Crescent. Some time ago work was commenced in the Crescent with a great deal of vigor, and every one thought that pretty soon we should have a beautiful terraced slope smiling in the sun, etc. But after the ripping up of the sundry stumps and tiie shattering of the many great rocks on the ground, a cessation of labor waB taken, and it seems likely to bo protracted indefinitely. This year's Council have done so much good substantial work, that no one feels like grumbling at them for neglecting one small place. But this Crescent, if finished and laid out as was originally intended, and touched off with a tasty little Turkish kiosk band Btand, wherein the city Orphean club could charm the promeii- aders once a week, why, Westminster would be possessed of a real thing of beauty and a joy for at least several years. Tho city haB not enough of these attractive spots. »—*—• Poetry by the Yitnl. In the issue of the Sitka Alaskan for April 26, just to hand, there are nine and n half columns of "poetry." The toughness of tho man who wrote it must have been phenomenal, and only to be equalled by that of him who reads it through. Tbe stuff is positively the most awful ever printed, and the following extract gives a good example of tho scholarly attainments of the poet: "Sure never did an artist conceive ii darker scene, Xnt even Gustavo Dorc in his "Wnurterliig Jew," I ween." 'Hie people of Sitka are notoriously healthy or this kind of thing would immensely increase the mortuary statistics of that using town. The exertions made by the poet in several parts of the poem to get a rhyme are truly heartrending. It would be a Bweet and joyful thing, after reading this "pome, to roll over nnd die without a groan. •-—•—•■ A Smart Veuel. Mr. Wheatley Bovill, of this city, uud Mr. J. Turner, late first officer of the steamer Irving, are having a twenty-ton sloop built by Messrs. McPhee Bros., at their ship yard on the North Arm. Messrs Bovill A Turner are going into the trading business, and will make periodical trips between this city and Sitka, Alaska, taking up a cargo of gen eral goods such as the Indians and settlers up the coast require, and bringing back pelts, furs and skins and other products of the north. The sloop which they are having built will be 45 feet in length, by 11 feet 0 inches beam and is modelled after a plan of Mr. Bovill's. A short distance abaft the mast the deck Ib raised one foot, thus rendering skylights unnecessary. The boat will have a depth of five feet and will carry a very large centre-board, Her ribs are of 2x 2}_ inch oak, with natural knees, nnd planked with native pine. She will be finished inside with cedar. The deck is to be narrow fir plank, edge grain. Tho sloop will carry a vast spread of canvas, consisting of mainsail, gaff topsail, fore-sail, forc-stay-sail and flying jib. She will carry a polacca mast, thus obviating top-mast and cross-trees; all her spars will be of specially selected native pine. Her decks will be nearly flush, a low bulwark running completely around tho boot. Messrs. McPhee Bros, are making every effort to surpass themselves on this boat, and when finished nnd ready for sea she will be undoubtedly tbe most beautiful, and likely the fas test,craft in British Columbia waters. The vessel will probably be launched on the 10th itst. The remains of the late Bishop D'Herbomez were lying in state all yesterday in St. Louis College where a large number took the opportunity of looking upon the face of him whom tbey loved so well. The remains were removed this morning to St. Charles' Indian church whero several hundred Indians attended tho services and an opportunity was given to gaze upon the features of him who had done sc much for their civilization. All marched past the casket with tearful eyes and bowed heads. The remains were then conveyed to St. Peter's Cathedral where thoy will remain until to-morrow morning nt 0:110 a. in., when they will he taken to St. Mary's Mission. {Uefcm. Hon. Mr. Justice McCrciglit and Ills Honor Judge Bole.) Court resumed its business at 11:30 o'clock this morning, when the case of Regina vs. Lackinitze was called. Mr. Blake, for prisoner, asked for a remand on account of the fact that Mr. Beck, of Vancouver, had all the particulars of the case, that he would have been ready, but it was thought that the Sun bury case would come on. His Worship said that it was a seriouB inconvenience to the jurors and that he would have to go on with tbe case at once. His Lordship then ordered the jury to be called, which was impanelled as follows: J. B. Curr, Alex. Anderson, A. Murcbeson. H. Bruce, H. Hodge, J. W. Miller, John Oliver, — Brown, C. Hawley, J. Week, J. A. Green, J. H. Burritt. Mr. Green was chosen foreman. Mr. A. St. G. Hainersley, Crown prosecutor, addressed the jury, giving an outline of tbe history of the murder, saying that as thero wero eye-witnesses to tbe affair, there would be no difficulty in finding a verdict. At this stage His Lordship dismissed the jury for an hour, when Mr, Mills, for the defence in tho Sunbury murder, made an application to have the trial of the prisoners, Sam, Jim, Annie and Crazy Annie, postponed for six weeks or until the next assizes, and read the nfti- { davit of Stephen Spenser, of Alert Bay, which was to the effect that the father and mother of Sam could givo material evidence in his behalf. After considerable argument the case was postponed until the 8th of July next. The court, wos thou adjourned until 1:15 p. in. Court resumed again at 1:30 this afternoon when Rogina vs. Lackinitze, the first case, was taken up. W. B. Anderson, a Comox constable, swore to tho arrest of the prisoners on their way up north. The afternoon was principally taken up by the evidence of Billy, an Enclutnh Indian who was one of a party which left Vancouver on April 17th. Prisoner, deceased, a woman, and witness were the occupants of the canoe. The Indians landed at Bowen Island, tbey had beeu drinking all the way from Vancouver. They had two barrels of whiskey on board und two bottles of tbo same fluid. Anmut, the deceased, was Bteering the canoe, when a row between prisoner nml the woman who waB with them took place. Anmut got up to protect the woman and prisoner struck him a fearful blow on the forehead with a paddle. Annut sank down in tbe bottom of the canoe covering his faco with both hands, prisoner then struck him another blow, killing him instantly. Prisoner, ou landing, was chased and captured by Louis, a white man, who handed him over to the police. The caso was proceeding as we went to press. i^_^^_1_-_ Heartless Bnrlinrlty. Last Friday morning ten calves were sent to tho City from some port up-river. On arriving here tbe animals were turned into the pens on tbo C. P. X. dock, and there tbey remained until Saturday night without a morsel of food of any kind. Tbo wretched littlo brutes bellowed as long as then-strength lasted, and tbe noise they created kept everybody in the neighborhood awake all night. To the superficial observer there does not appear to be uny particular cruelty in keeping tho animals nenrly forty-eight hours without food or water in a hot pen on which tbe sun heals down most of the day. But to anyone who takes the trouble to look into the matter there is something particularly devilish — that is tl. only word that fits the case - in compelling these poor little animals to undergo the unspeakable agonies of hunger and thirst for nearly two days; and then hauling Ihem out as if they were logs of wood or blocks of stone, tying their feet together and piling them one on top of the other in n cart to bc driven to the slaughter bouse. Tliis may seem incredible, but it is truo, too true for the credit of the city; and those W, A, DASHW00D-JONES Douglas Street. FRUIT & VEGETABLES.

I am in favor of dividing Westminster District into ridings. Any moiisurt's that appear to me to bc for tho bcneilt of the Province would have my support, and I think that some safo scheme might be devised by which the credit of tbo Province might be lent for locnl Improvements.

VOLUME VIII. NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, JUNE 5, 1890. NUMBER 105. TO THE ELECTORS New Westminster District. GENTLEMEN:—In view ol tlie near approach of tlie election to fill the vacancy caused by tho death o.f our late representative (the much-'respoctod D. Chisholm) and as I have stated in my card to you that I am a candidate for that honor, I will now lay before you some of my views on the leading questions which I consider will arise in tlio near future for consideration. 1 have been asked what 1 mean when I announce myself as a Liberal-Conservative; I reply, "That by nature and education I am a Conservative, but a residenco of over 30 years in this Province and much intercourse with our American cousins has had the effect of changing many of my views, and given me liberal ideas, therefore 1 claim i am a Liberal-Conservative." Owing lo the fact that party lines are not defined, in -British Columbia as they aro in the older provinces, 1 consider that our representatives aro not in duty bound to give a through-thick-and-thin support to any party, but they should go to Ottawa prepared to give a generous support.to all good measures which may be brought before them, and to consider the prosperity of the Dominion as a whole, but our own Province in particular, and should a measure come before them which they consider in any way detrimental to the interests of this Province they should take their stand like true men and vote against it.. I am opposed ton certain extent, to the Tariir, or National Policy as applied to British Columbia. We are a long way from the centres of manufacture iu the East, and many articles of every-day use to our Farmers and others, and which we cannot produce at home can be obtained more readily and at shorter notice from our near neighbor's over the line, and in many cases the articles are better adapted to our needs than those brought from the Eastern Provinces; in fact, much of onr Fanning and Mining Machinery, Wooden Ware and other articles are brought from the , States, although the duties are so heavy. Again regarding our food supply; wo do not raise enough to supply our wants, and are obliged to cross the border for it, and are met with such heavy duties that heads of families in this Province pay more than ten to one compared to their compeers in Eastern Provinces. We have had example to the point during the last three months. If we had not received a good supply from California there would have been a meat famine; as it is we are now and have been paying 25 cents per pound for mutton, winch is more than ordinary nior- talslike to pay, and the same state of atl'airs is likely to obtain again after any long and severe winter, for in spite of "Protection" for the last eleven years our stock raisers are little better prepared to meet hard winters than they were before, and to my mind the only ones who have reaped the benefit of the X. P. are tbe manufacturers. As a true Britisher I should like to see "Free Trade," but as that seems out of the question, I would advocate " Kceiproeilv'' iu many articles Which are at present iu* lite Turin' lists, as I think it would be beneficial to both countries, and Ihe working man would not have to go down so deep into his pockets to buy what he needs to cat and wear. I am aware the Government must have a revenue to carry on the affairs of the country, but I would have "luxuries" pay more and gel at the pocliu.i. of the richer classes who can hotter afford to pay taxes. Owing to the long continued sickness j of the late Mr. Chisholm, he wusjuiahle t to be in his place this session, and very little during the previous one, so we of this District have been practically un- j represented, and our local wants have ! not heen brought beforo the notice of the House. Had he (Mr. Chisholm) beeu iu his seat, I do not think the Postmaster-General would have been left so much in the dark concerning the necessity of regular mail facilities on the Lower Eraser as he seems to have beon when he proposed to cut oil' the mail subsidy from that Important route, and there i^re other places in the District which need better postal facilities, which I consider Bhould receive that genlle- nmn's earliest attention. 1 hope that in the near future our District will reach that point, that we may look for it to be divided and receive another representative. AI pies- cut I think it is the largest constituency iu the Dominion', extending over 1500 I miles of territory, and when the census returns ar<. in 1 think (he necessary I uuiiibei of population will be found to ' i_.uj_ntu.cU eh additional representation, \ The protection of lb.-1 iver hanks at iJJ.liHwark/Stiiimr., Bui ton's Prairie and olhtr placei-. iioiild receive nr, (Ornost attention, also the wurksfov improving the channel at the Sandheals, in view of the expected increase in our shipping interests. I consider the Province should have, control over all railway charters and i privileges within our borders. Our Fishing interests, being of such! great importance to this Dislrict in par- ! ticular, 1 feet should receive more than ordinary attention. I would urge the cutting of a canal through the Delta lands from the mouth of the Serpentine to Eraser Kiver, also to enquire into the question of cutting one from the Eraser I.iver to Port Moody, which has often been suggested to me. Immigration, I consider, should be fostered, aud encouraged judiciously, .Just ut present it Is coming here fast enough; 1 would not like to see a largo influx pour in at once, as many would be disappointed aud go away disgusted and probably give our glorious Province a bad name. There are many other matters I Bhould like to touch upon, but it would make this address too long. I hope to see as many as possible before the election, when I shall be prepared to lay my views more fully before them and answer any questions. As soon as possible after the arrival of the writ I will arrange for a personal canvass and will send duo notice of time and place of meetings. During my long residenco in the Province I have travelled through much of it, from Victoria to Cariboo, and have noted its growth and requirements, therefore, I feel fully competent to bring such matters beforo tlie notice of the House in a practical, business-like manner. Should I have tho honor to be olectcd I assure you I shall watch over the interests of this District faithfully and to the best of my ability, not forgetting that I also go as'a true British Columbian and lo do my duty as such.

GENTLEMEN:—As I have already announced, I beg to offer myself IIS fl candidate for Ihe seat iu the Commons made vneant by tlie death of our late member, and I come before you as a supporter of the Government of Sir John Macdonald, reserving to mysell, of course, the right lo act Independently should the action of tho Government in any inatler seem prcjudical tu our Interests, I would strongly urge Immediate attention to (lie Improvement of tiie River where roijuired. for the protection of the rich agricultural lands of Ibe District, and If elected, 1 shall at once proceed to Ottawa and leave uo slime unturned lo secure the immediato appointment of a competent engineer wilti a view lo Ihe prompt undertaking of Hi Is most Important work. j As you are aware, the duly ou certain kinds I of mining machinery im, been remitted in tliis I Province ns a special e.niccssiou lo British Columbia on account of Ibe special conditions ob- | lulning here. I would strongly urge Ibe further | application of this principle oi special tariff ar- ■ ruiigomeuts. so as lo relieve con.siiniers of goods . which musl bo Imported, ivliitu preserving the protection of our agricultural and oilier In terosls. The land laws of the Dominion, having beeu fruined without olostj consideration of our requirements, are In many points unsuitable, fur example In tlie conditions,'as lo clearing. I would endeavor to secure immediate reform in Ibis Important mutter. i Subsidies having boen uniuled lo rallwavs in . tlio various Provinces of the iMninlou.l should j urgently proem ibe clahnsto similar assistance [ of railways within our own Province. i Should tlio City of New Westmtnsterdecide to build a luidec across the Eraser, 1 should use my best endeavors to obtain a substantial sub- ; sidy for Ihe work, urging that an undertaking ! of this chnrncler should rank with canals and i railways as one entitled to national iild. Tlio next census wlll undoubtedly show such i an increase lu the wealth and population of this : Dislrict as will constitute an undeniable claim ; to increased ivpivenlniinn in Hie Commons. That claim, if elected, 1 .sliall support to the ut- ! moot of my ability. ! Although, with the growth of the District, j Ihe mail service has been Imprnved and extended, It still lags far behind onr requirements. 1 1 should give special attention to this partof your representative'), work, feeling thai it is j one which is of vital luiporlaiice. I 1 should urge the enactment of such fishery I regulations, especially In Ibcissuinir of licences, as would, without nnv Injustice lo the numerics, the Importance of which to the prosperity of the Dislrlel all must recognise, fully proieel 1 the free fishermen, and oiieminKo the settle- : ment amongst ns of the grealesi possible number oftllftt Industrious and hardy class of men. All enactments anil regulations lor the protection of white labor would receive my hearty Continued work towards tbe Imjiroveinoiit of the harbors o[ New Westminster and Vancouver, and the ohleiont lighting and buoying of the snnie, is a mailer which would have mv closest atlentiioi al all times. In a word, 1 should constantly urge upon the (lovernment the wisdom of a liberal potieylii public works fn ibis District, lho vast resources of which make it certain thai such a poliev would be amply jus([licil by results.
