USO. current Events and Opinions. The popular notion of feminine innocence of everything of a political nature is a delusion. The recent municipal elections in Canada afford ample evidence that the sex will not need a great deal of training in the field of politics to enable them to hold up their end. The women turned out in large numbers through a pouring rain to exercise the right of suffrage for the lirst time accorded them, and most of them, when they reached tho polls, proved that they fully understood the process of registering their opinions by the ballot. In fact a good many showed their familiarity with the political artifices which are supposed to be tho I'xclusivc property of their hufbands and brothers. Tho men who fear that women cannot take care of themselves at the polls and will be imposed upon in political manors, may as well search for some more valid excuse for denying them the right of suffrage.—Detroit News. Wherever thc Ohinese are found outside of their own country, they are there because special advantages for making money are within reach. They care nothing for institutions and have no appreciation of freedom beyond the opportunities afforded for making money. The Ohinese have como to this country because, bByond all others, tliere were advantages for gaining ■null fortunes. Thousands of Ohi- DM0 have gone home with their for- tvttsk- .Thousands moro may go l»i*rt;'ip;J4li« smiKr way. Fiimlly, lh« lira* MUX when the Chinese wer*- ffMhfeMTj-'1 vol'y undesirable class oPlIasa*n|fi';uit3. They have lived on the industries and patron* age of the whito population. Outside of China it would be difficult to name a country where the Ohinese nre to-day considered a dosir- able element of population. They certainly aro not so considered in Japan, in Australia, in British Columbia, in the Hawaiian Islands, nor in any of tho more important islands of the Pacific. Now as the Chinese came to the Pacific slope from motives of self-interest, thoy will return from tho same motives. Suppose that to-day it was impossible for any number of these people to make more than actual expenses! In loss than two years the greater part of them would be gono. And this change can be brought about without the least violence Heretofore wo imve mude it for the interest of Chinese to come to this coast. In an indirect way they have been encouraged to come. Thousands of them learned at home that they could earn relatively large sums in this country. They could enter upon a number of trades and industries and could practically crowd out whito men, And this they could do, not because they could do better work, but because they undertook to do it cheaper. Their expenses of living were on the low scale of barbarians. What was counted a comfortable living for thom was intolerable to white men. The Chinese pitted the lowest form of civilization against tho best. The latter demands comfort. The civilized workman must be well housed, well clothed and well fed. The Chinaman does not need to lie well housed and well fed. And so the Chinese built all tho railroads, . made most of the cheap clothes, gradually tilled the cigar manufactories, the shoe shops, the laundries, and competed with women in domestic service. They went into the canneries and made the cans, they undertook gardening, farming, and became peddlers of many wares. They made money in these vocations. Gradually the relation of these people to the industries of the country is changing. The cigar manufactories, thc shoe shops and the laundries nre being stocked with white laborers. The conviction is growing that all these industries should be in the hands of a population who either aro or intend to become -citizens of tho country. It is not all race preju dice, as somo iu the eastern states have affirmed, but a question of in dustriul economy resolved into this proposition, that white labor is more desirable than Chinese labor. And this judgment is reached after moro than thirty yenrs' experience. That is the first stop. Tho second is to get rid of the Chinese peace, fully and within tho forms of law, These people, as we have seon, uro here because thore are speci.il advantages for making money. When thu advantages ceaso the Chineso will ceasii to ho hore. Thoy do not love any foreign country well enough to remain in it when there are no pecuniary advantages beyond thoso enjoyed at home. In Australia a large head tax was imposed as a method of discouraging this form of immigration, Here, tlmt moth- British Columbian. VOLUME 29 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C.,- SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1686. NUMBER 7 od is not available. We have been these many years encouraging a white immigration. These people can be engaged in industrial occupations. They want work, wages, and very soon will want homesteads. Then there are thousands of young people, native born, who are just ready to step into the leading in* dustries are closed to them because Ohinese have been given the preference? The volume of this desirable immigration is rapidly increasing. It harmonizes with justice to adopt an industrial policy by whieh immigration which can be converted into citizenship shall have the preference over that from whioh citizens cannot be made. The changes now going on may in some instances work a temporary inconvenience. But gradually the new atjjustijwit will be brought aWni. The Cffl- nese will disappear from most of the leading industries. In thousands of instances where they have been employed the employers are pretty well convinced that they can do better with, white labor. There is no law so irresistible as that of necessity. When the Ohinese become convinced that it is necessary to depart, they will go, and they will not stand on the order of their going.—S, F. Bulletin. . All dental operations skilfully per* formed.

Leading New York politicians tell me that Charley Loew, the new leader, has all the ability of Kelly, and that the great political organization has begun a new life with Kelly's retirement. John Kelly had tuo many enemies in his own party to benefit Tammany by being at its head. Through him Tammany lost many of its best supporters, and these, now that he ii gone, sre coming back. "The tone of Tammany," said a leading New York, editor in me to-day, "lias been raised by the loss of Kelly. The society will start the new year with a great accession of fresh young blond, and it already has gotten its hold buck upon the politics of the state. I don't think it hai ever had ao much powor since tlie days of Boss Tweed." "How is John Kelly?" I asked. "He is a mental and physical wreck," wus the reply. "He is in great danger of softening of the brain, and will not probably live very long. He is at his house on Eaat Sixty-ninth street, and ho is a far different man than when he sat in the Chicago convention whioh nominated Cleveland. Then he waa in full mental and physical vigor. His eye was bright and his voice firm and full of power. He left the convention with his friends, and the party feared that he would knife the candidate and defeat him. I don't believe tbat he evor thought that Cleveland would be elected, and the faot that the first democratic president elected sinco tho war waa indirectly a defeat for him cut him to the soul and materially hastened hia decline. It is wonderful how quickly and completely he dropped out of politics and how little the loaa is noticed. "Loew, tho man who haa succeeded Kelly," this man wont on, "is a young man compared to Kelly. He was a boy of fourteen when Kelly was in congress in 1864, and his age at present is forty-eight. He is a German, whilo Kelly was an Irishman. Like Kelly, he has made his own way, and he started life with only a cava- mon school education. He sold real estate tirst, then studied law, aud through law and roal estate he has made himself wealthy. Kelly ia married and has had children. Loew is a bachelor, and his, amusement is in politics. He is not so bitter a hater as Kelly, and he has fewer enemies. . He shows great executive ability, and keeps the wheela of the society well oiled. At present Tammany seems to be in accord with the ad mi uiat ration, but I don't believe ;t does ao for any other reason than the'hope of patronage. If Cleveland doea not favor it you may be sure to Iind it against him at tho next national convention."— Corr, Cleveland Leader, Two National (lun Factories. In 1883, by au act of congress, a commission called a gun-foundry board was created to inquire into the menu* facture of large ordnance and to re* port a plan for the adoption of the government. The board has reported in favor of building two great government gun factories—one at Watervtlet, near Troy, N. V"., and the other at the Washington nary yard. The proposed factories will coat $1,000,000 each. It is understood that they are not to do all the work and supply all tho materials in making big guns for use by the navy and in fortifications. Contracts will be made with private msnufacturera to furnish the steel molded into the form of the guns. They will be fabricated and finished ready,for use in the government fee- tories. Private contractors will also be expected to furnish steel plates for armored vessels and forts, and other supplies. Senator Cameron haa introduced in tho senate two bills providing the necessary appropriations for the government gun factories and to carry into effect the other recommendations of thn gun foundry board. Three or four hundred guua, some of them weighing a hundred tuna eaeh, are regarded as necessary ,/nr the navy and coast defenses. The job will be one that will occupy years of time, ss no factory of feasible dimensions oould turn out more than fifteen or twenty lint-class gunaayear, - Chicago Herald. ■■■■^— _,,.

Woolen Mills. .at At the last meeting of the city n'-Jjouncil another application for n p ^lonus in aid of the establishment bti pf a woolen mill was brought up for consideration. This is by no IjWans the first of the sort. Wo ftliav-p already had several similar , applications, none of which over -.iiiresnlted in business. It seems to . Ubfi the impression among persons (applying for special privileges in Jjjjoonneotion with this matter that I thn city will gladly consent to any jipfbposal they may choose to make. sJi|lilt although some of these propo- ;,'sals have been very absurd, it must to1. n not be forgotten that thc cstnblish- ;cment of a woolen factory at this '{city is a matter of great import '« ituice, Aside from thu sawmills, wo lmvo very few m aim fact or ies; antl yet there could scarcely lie found 'anywhere iu the province n city more favorably situated for romui- % oa M factories. We have an abtinditnco iH of fresh water, plenty of cheap fuel, - u and shipping facilities second to •j***- none anywhere. The establishment ' of a woolen mill would probably ei lead to other industries, and thero m is nothing tlmt will more surely and \ quickly push a city into prominence > than manufactories. Tho establishment of a woolen mill would make i this city more than ever a centre for the agricultural trade. Farmers will find it to their advantage u to raise sheep, and both the fleeces 'j and the carcasses will be disposed of in this market. We earnestly °. hope thnt the city council will meet 'i, the present proposal with liberality, h if the projectors mean business, but J at the same time the whole city >r need not ba surrendered for a ^ woolen mill. Temperance Iteform. Some time ago the Toronto Globe sent out a list of questions relating to tite Crooks act (the license act of Ontario), and requested all persons to send suggestions looking towards its improvement. In a late issue the Globe publishes the replies received, from which it seems that the preponderance of opinion is decidedly in favor of high licenses and a strict enforcement of (he law. it is a fact beyond dispute that the license laws are the worst' enforced of any laws, and the reason is equally plain. In almost all other cases when a breach of the law takes place, the person against whom the breach is made suffers an injury which he is ready and anxious to resent. If an assault or a theft is committed, for example, the person assaulted or from whom goods have been stolen, becomes personally interested in en forcing punishment, and is nnxioua to apply the legnl remedy. The in ju'red titan becomes tho very best agent of the law, because he has a positive interest in its enforcement, Hut in the case of a breach of tho liquor laws there is no such incentive. The persons who break these laws are tho buyer and tho seller, both of whom are most anxious that thc breach shall neither be known nor punished. It is often said that the liquor laws cannot be enforced Ucause public opinion is against thom. But tlie true cause of the difficulty does not lie with public opinion, but will be found in tho facts above stilted. Public opinion is decidedly against the liquor trallic, and very few persons who aro not parties to that tratlii will be found defending it. For these reasons it iH necessary that tho machinory for enforcing the liquor laws shall be different from that employed for the enforcement of othor laws; and !>ecausc our legislatures liavo lost sight of this fact, it happens that persons who have been guilty of offences against these laws frequently escape deserved punishment. The Branch und Ihe Chinese. It is known that, by some oversight,' tlie clause in the agreement between the government nnd the syndicnto relating to the exclusion of Chinese labor from the work of constructing the extension to Coal Harbor -dowi not. apply to the branch, This is vtry unfortunate, and some peoplo have taken advantage of thc circumstance to make capital ugainst thoso whom they wish to hold responsible for the oversight. It will be a great pity if thn work of constructing the branch lino to this oity should fall into the hands of Chinairten, because it will follow that deserving white men will be left without so much employment. But the loss to the country, it seems to us, will mlea bt* a loss to the syndicate itself) and for this reason it would be quite proper to ask the syndicate to consider whether it ought not to determine that Chinese shall be excluded entirely from the work. It is quite certain that the interest of the syndicate is to build up and develop the interests of the country by every legitimate means, and this cannot be done by affording encouragement to a class of people whose presence is a curse and a blight. There are certain kinds of work that may bo done . moro cheaply by Chinese labor, but it does not always happen that the cheapest nrticle is tho most economical. The way to build up this country is to bring into it a class of people who will develop its resources and lay the foundation of solid and permanent prosperity. This cannot bo done by the introduction or encouragement of Chinamen. Thore are hundreds of these undesirable people now in this district without employment, and we believe many of them have been hanging about all winter in the belief that the construction of this branch railway would afford thein employment in thc spring. These men havo taken part in the Onderdonk contracts; and if no other public work had been in view when the Onderdonk contracts wero finished.; most of them would probably have left the country witli all possible speed. They should be made to feel now that there is not employment for them here, and that it is the unanimous wish of the people that they return to their native land. If the syndicate concludes to shut them out from the work of constructing the branch line, this may be accomplished without difficulty. We believe overy ono whoso residence in this province has given him the opportunity of studying this question practically will say without hesitation that it would bo much more profitable in tho long run for tho syndicate to engage whito men for the construction of the branch, although the cost of construction would be a little greater. It is a fact well known that Mr. Onderdonk was at lirst anxious to get white labor on his contracts. There wero two considerations which induced him to employ Ohinamen: (1) White men could uot be obtained in sutlicieift numbers, and (2) he found that ho could make a large profit on the importation of Chinamen, Neither of these considerations can be put forward now in connection with tho branch line. We are satisfied that a very moderate amount of advertising will secure as many white men as arc needed for the work, and at vory reasonable wages. Now that Mr. Abbott is here, wo hopo he will bo led to consider well tho questions involved before making arrangements for the work of construction. If it is decided to exclude the Chinese, the fact will produce a most favorable impression on the minds of the people of British Columbia, an impression that will bo worth a great deal more than the difference of cost between Chinese nnd white laborers; Substitutes Tor Mutches.

Aud una may easily mako a trial cf it. Take an oblong vial of tho whitest and purest glass and put into it a piece of phosphorus abuut the size nf a [tea. Pour some olive oil hented to tho boiling point upon the phosphorus; lill tliu vial about one-tliird full and then cork it tightly. To use this novel light, remove tho cork, allow the air to enter tho vial, and then re* cork it. The empty spaco in the vial will become bimiiiuuB, and thu light obtained eiiiml to that of a lamp. When tho light grows dim its powir ccin bu increased by taking out tlio cork and allowing a frusli supply of air lo enter the vial. In winter it is sometimes necessary tu heat thu vial between tho hands in order to increaso the fluidity of the oil. The apparatus thus made may bo used for six months. —Chicago Times. k Efficient Remedy In nil raises of Bronchial uml Pulmonary AUccMons Is AVKII'8 Clljeniiv I'Euioil'l..

But wo hnvo no hope that the government will permit this. In tho mean time, while waiting on red tape, the ice has formed a bridge across tho river above the city, and all is clear from here to the gulf. If this condition of things remains, which is altogether probable, Capt. Irving may be expected to give proof of his good intentions on Monday. . —r-*: *— try Murray's Shki> OaealOgue.— Mr. John Murray, of the Spence's Bridge Nursery and Green House, has just issued hia catalogue of seeds, plants, roots, nnd trees, for tho current year.

In presenting thia catalogue Mr, Murray returns thanks for the many kind and unsolicited testimonials he has received respecting the excellence of Beeda sent out by hiin during past years, unci gives an assurance that this year's stock will bo fully up to the standard of the past. In addition to flower seeds, roots, plants, ornamental and i fruit trues, Mr. Murray deals in various kinds of farming impliments and tools. Spence's Bridge is central, uud very convenient as a distributing point, and Mr. Murray's well-established reputation ought to be a sufficient guaranteo uf fair nud honest dealing. Every person proposing to purchase anything iu that line should send to Mr. Murray for n catalogue, Macdonald Wants a Settlement. —An Ottawa dispatch says: Mr. A, P. Macdonald, contractor, proposes np* plying to the courts for nn injunction to restrain the Dominion government from paying Mr. Onderdonk ill the amounts duo him on account uf his British Columbia, railway contracts until he has settled with Mr. Macdonald for his share in the profits of section B. Mr. Macdonald claims that he gavo over his eontrnet for that section (o Mr, Ondordonk. upon condition of receiving nil the profits made upon that section, less than teu percent, It in nlso claimed Mint thero wore $250,000 allowed in thb tender for each section to cuver "contingencies," but as tho wink on onch was done below tho estimates of the engineers, Mr. Onderdonk is um untitled to these union ii ts, though he may get thein.

Their advice to business men is to advertise largely if they have tho right article to keep up the advertisement with. The Opium Seizure,—Capt. Hicks, who piloted the I.7. S. revenue cutter Oliver Wolcott to Alaska in her search for the Idaho's opium, arrived homo yesterday, the cutter having reached Port Townsend early iu the morning. After leaving Nanaimo the Wolcotb steered straight for Carter bay, Prince of Wales Island, where Capt. Carroll has a cannery. The Wolcott beat the Idaho on the up-trip and lay in a cove with her lights out when the latter steamer passed up. A search of the storehouse brought to light 3,300 pounds of pure opium, stored in fourteen oil barrels. The opium iB said to bo worth 910 por pound in American territory, which would make the value of the seizure $52,800, n handsome "divy" for the customs officials of Port Townsend, and the U.S. government. The discovery of the opium in Capt. Carroll's cannery will place that gentleman in a rather unfavorable light before the American public and his employent, for such extensive smuggling operations could not have occurred without his knowledge. The steamer he commands will uo doubt bo again seized on her arrival at Port Townsend.—Colonist. Womanly Fear or Telegrams.*-■ Tho other day a young house-wife left her home in Cincinnati to spend a few days with frioqdB in Hamilton. Before going she provided a good supply of cold edibles for her husband, and told hiin he could help himself whenever he was hungry. Hu took lunch down town und went homo iu tbe evening for dinner. Hu found cold chicken, cold pie and several other cold dishes, but he waB not satisfied; ho wanted bread. A telegram asking, •'Where is the broad ?" was dispatched. The wife received it in the midst of a number of ladies, aud it frightened her nearly to death. With the cry, "I know Mr. B. is killed!" she fell in a faint, A most lugubrious scene presented itself whon the man of the house happened in. "What's the matter here?'1 he asked. "Mrs. Il.'s husband hus been killed and she has fainted," was the reply, "How do you know?" he asked. "Oh, she's got a telegram." "Where is iff" "We haven't opened it yet." Imagine the scone when the sympathetic creatures read the message. Iu about an hour the reply was sent back to him: "You mean thing. It's iu the bread-box, under the piano, where I hid it from the cook." An Old Claim.—The government of British Columbia has made a claim on .the government of Washington Territory for 82,700, for the keeping, maintenance and extradition of Pierre, arrested in this province and held as a fugitive in 1874. Iu the territorial legislature at Olympia on the Kith inst. Mr. H. Q. Struve, former Secretary of the territory, nnd Mr. Irving, de- fiuty attorney-general of British Oo- umbia, were examined before tho committee touching the case. Tho committee reported iu favor of paying the bill, adding: "If we expect in future to merit the trust of thu authorities of British Columbia, in so fnr ns to hold criminals escaping from the territory for extradition, we should meet our obligations in thnt behalf; und while the bill seems lnrge, we nre satisfied the charges were paid by the authorities of British Columbia, and they ahould be reimbursed therefor." The committeo wore instructed to report the bill, and tho money will be forthcoming in due course, This claim is one of long standing, having been pressed at different times by the present and former governments. Tho circumstances weru as follows: About 12 years ago, a half-breed, named Thomas Pierre, stabbed another half-breed named Benlagh,nt Caldwell, Washing ton Territory, and fled to Kootenay. Upon instructions received fmm thu sheriff of Stevens County, W. T., Pierre was arrested by thu local authorities nud was held a prisoner ut Kootenny fur nbout thirteen months awaiting proceedings for extradition But tho Stevens County authorities would uot go to the expense of extraditing tho murderer, aud thu Kootenay authorities finully set him at liberty. During his incarceration a special guard had to bo dotailed to attend tu the prisoner, and uecessnnly a great deal of expense was incurred. Tbu claim, which has since appeared in the publio accounts as oue of tho assets of the province, was for costs incurred by our government in arresting and keeping thu prisoner during that time. Pierre, after his liberation, went to the Kamloops country and was never tried for the murder he committed.— Times. _______^_ THK WEHT HIIOIU: FOK HKITRIIUKK. -Tlie Ureal lllnslrnlrtl IlrlHt.li Culnin- bia KiIHIrh.

Communication*. , ■ Delta KlecHoii; Eiutoh Colombian,--I wish to draw your attention to n few facts in relation to the late municipal election in Delta. The first to which I ask your attention is tbo ease of Mr. 'John McDolnn, who is assessed for a portion of tho N, E, \ of Sec. 13, T. 4. The whole of this quarter-section hns b.en assessed nud has paid taxes over since the incorporation of Delta. Section 118 of tho municipality act of 1881, sub.-sec. 4, reads: "The saiil roll bo finally revised shall he taken and held as the roll of the municipality for all purposes until a new roll shall hare been made and returned as hereinafter provided." Sectiou 10 of tho snid act says, in effect, that any one of the full age of 21 years, rated upon tbo assessment roll, nnd who has paid all taxes due by him or her ten days before election, shall be entitled to vote. Mr. -McDolnn paid his taxes ou the 21st day of Nov. and received his receipts. On Monduy tho 4th day of Jun., ISSli, the municipal clerk returned the real estate tax to McDnlan and demanded his receipt (which wan refused) and informed him that ho was uot in the municipality. Mr. McDolan then asked for the return of road tax paid hy him for the two years laat past, but the olerk refused to refund this tax. On enquiring into this mutter on nomination day I wns informed by tho reive (Mr. W, II, Ladner) thnt ho had di-covered (after some (lor 7 yenrs) that the lnnd for which Mr. McDolan wns assessed wns not within the corpo* ration limits, and thut thu said i.i in I wns in Surrey, nud that he had advised thc clork to refund thu taxes, lu reply to a question be mentioned nbout ',1 mouths ago as thu time he had mado this lm- porlnnt discovery. The clork stated the renson ho did uot refund McPoluu's rond tax wns that ho hud not: been authorised to do so by tbo council.

Editor Cou'MniAs.—You will please allow me to make n few remarks nnent the tactics used hy the eity fathers in their last desperate cft'orta to keep tlieir sunts at the council board. In your last issue you seem to dispute tho "sub-editor's" count of ballots; he claimed that I had o of a majority- nml yuu claim that Mr. Dickinson had 7 of a majority. It is a matter of indifference to nn) ns to whose right it is to sit lathe mayor's ohnlr for 1880} hut it ought to be a matter of very groat interest to every honest ii.an iu New Westminstor hy whnt memiB any mnn is cleutud to ....'ill a responsible pofiltlon. The manner of voting in each and every ward for mayor, without any j check whatever, left dishonest voters free to vote for mayor once, twice or three times, ns the case might be; nud that soini! did vote both tarty and often is beyond a peradvonture. I caught a man in the act myself, The question arises; how did it come to puss that, for the first time, a poll was opened in each or the three wards for mayor, and without a check ? To put the most charitable construction on the matter, it proves what I have asserted, that tho management of municipal allairs in New Westminster is dangerously stupid; but is jvorsq titan this, for it is criminally selfish, "IDphraim is wedded to Ida idols, let him alone," James Kennedy. [Our friend begins by. stating the case unfairly, nud ends by making charges for -which we believe there is no foundation. There can be no intelligent dispute as to which candidate in the mayor* nlty contest hnd the majority of votes. The letter written to the Guardian by Mr. Kelly attempted to raise that question, and only succeeded by following a most absurd proposition by an error in culetdntion that almost any schoolboy would have perceived. This proposition and calculation Mr. Kennedy seems Inclined to regard as worthy of attention, which shows that his mind has dwelt upon fancied grievances until every phantom presented to his imagination is accepted as a living fact testifying to the trickery ami corruption of the city council. Thc proposition made by Mr. Kelly, and tacitly accepted by Mr. Kennedy, is: (I) that every person who voted for Mr. Dickinson voted at each of the three polling places; (2) that none of those who voted for Mr, Kennedy committed this utliiuce; (3) und that all the spoiled ballots (9) were intended to be cast for thc defeated candidate. It was quite impossible that the first could be true, because very few people arc entitled to voto in more than one ward, and no person was allowed to vote in a ward where his name did not appear on the list. According to thc assessment roll there arc ,126 persons entitled to vote in the city, and according to tho books of the returning oflicers there wero just 390 possible votes, Subtracting the number of voters I from the number of possible votes in the three wards wc get 73, which represents the number of double votes. If every person who voted for Mr. Dickinson voted for him three times (aa eluimcd by Mr. Kelly and endorsed by Mr. Kennedy), 38 persons muat have voted for him. But if we add 73 (the highest possible number of double votes) to :1S (the number of persons who voted for Mr. DickinBou) we get only 111, whereas Mr. Dickinson had 11.1 Votes. It follows that Mr, Dickinson's supporters could uot possibly.havo voted for him in ench word as stated; and if they had done bo we have already shown that Mr, Dickinson's legal majority would still have been at least 7. The other two matters nre easily disposed of. It is fair to assume that if Mr. Dickinson's supporters "repeated," Mr. Kennedy's did the same, aud to the same extent. This opinion will he held until somo evidence to the contrary is produced. It jb uot true thnt all the spoiled ballots were intended for Mr. Kennedy. The voting for Mayor was done at tbe three different pulling places becuuNO it was believed the law required this to he done, Mr, Kennedy asserts that as a matter of fact sumo did vote more thau once for mayor. Then it becomes Mr. Kennedy's duty as a ynd citizen to make known the names of such persons and take steps to have then? punished. The law provides for such offences a penalty of $100 tine or 00 days imprisonment. Finally, Mr. Kennedy has not yet furnished a particle of proof in support of his sweeping charge of corruption ngainst the council, and until such proof is forthcoming we shall continue to hold the opinion that the charge is not true.—En.) . Mr. .Peter Veruett, Hocbelagn, P.Q., writes:' "Dr. Thomas' Eclectrie Oil cured me of Rheumatism nfter I tried many medicines to no purpose. It Is a good medicine." Just think of it—you can relieve thc twinges of rheumatism, or tho most painful attack of neuralgia— you eau check a cough, and heal bruised or broken skin, with a bottle of Dr. Thomas' Kclectric OU, coating only 25 cents. SPECIAL DESPATCHES. London, Jan- 21.—Tlie Queen in person opened parliament, and the spectacle was unusually brilliant. In the speech from tho throne the following reference was made to the Irish question: I have seen with deep sorrow a renewal, since I lost addressed you, of the attempt to excite the people of Ireland to hostility ugninst tho legislative union between that country and Groat Britain. I am resolutely opposed to any disturbance cf that fundamental law, aud in resisting it I nm convinced that I shall be heartily supported by my parliament and my peoplo, The social no less than the ma* tcii.il condition of that country engages my anxious attention. Although there has been during tho last yoar no marked increase of serious crime, there is lu many places a concerted resistance of the en* torccmem*, of legal obligations, and I regret that the pmcthe of organized intimidation still continues to exist. I have cr.U8cd every i xertion to bu used for tho detection and punifhment of these crimes and uo effort will be spared on thc part of my government to protect my Irish subjects in the exercise of their legal rights and in the enforcement of individual liberty. If, as my informntion lends uio to a p pre he ml, the existing provisions of law** should prove to be inadequate to cope with these growing evils, I shull look with confidence to your willingness to invest my government with all necessary powers, llills will be submitted ftir tlm funning of representative council^ fur the adjustment of Irish local affairs, I'Kori.K Who Hkau asu Keflkct, ufter reading, upon tho many published testimonials regarding North top und Lyman's Vegetuolc Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure, can scarcely fail to perceive that rvidelicti so positive and concurrent could not. be adduced in behalf of n reiiK-dv of doubtful efficacy. The facts proven by such evidence ure that it roots out impurities of tho blood, restores digestion, enriches tho circulation, and regulates the bowels nnd liver. Tlie Irish Question. New Yohk, Jan. 17.—Tho World's cablegram says: The grent bulk of the English people, nud a great numbor of both British political parties, are literally howling for the renewal of the coercion net in Ireland, for the suppression of the national league as a body of cumpiraturs, and for the punishment of tho lenders as traitors. Your correspondent haB hnd an inter* view with Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Cham* berlaln, Sir Charles Dilke, Lord Hartington, Mr. (1-Jorge Otto Trevulyan, and a majority of the other Liberal and Kadical leaders, and while ho has found thnt there is a wide difference between tho viows entertained by the nvurugo Liberals and Radicals, he is convinced tlmt tho loaders believe that 1 Iri11ali pui lie opinion will demand the renewal of coercion in Ireland, and thu ni'Mens stumping out nf the national spirit. Tho Army and Navy Gazette denounces the project of employing the military in any Irish land war. It says that "officers now on service in Ireland are disgusted with the work of eufntciiig legal processes with the bayonet," You will perhaps he surprised to learn that one of tho bitterest letter writers againBt tho Parnollite move ment is your own countryman, Henry M. Stanley. He publishes a letter over his own namo in which ho expresses his horror of ParnoliiSrn in the words: "Had we of the Kortlf listened to lhe South as England now listens to Irish separatists, whoro would the American Union be ? Wo didn't listen; we fought." Nsw Yokk, Jan. 17.— A 'Titles cablegram sayB: "The clouds of rumors, confessedly emanating from Tory sources, meanwhile impute tn the government the most sinister intentions in regard to coercion in Ireland. The commonest of these is that Lord Wol seley will be sent over with a dictator's power, tu put the wholo of the Island under martial law. People who profess to bo in his confidence assert tonight that he ia ready tu aasuine thu task. If he went, it would not bu as viceroy, which oflico has not been left vacant, but as a sort of Cnunwoil, in the commission of the landlords of Ireland, whose marplot lackays in Ulster are energetically plowing the laud for this expected harvest of bayonets. If the winter does not-end in terrible bloodshed it will bo no fault of theirs." Referring to the volunteer force that has beun raised in Ulster county to enforce evictions, the correspondent continues: "The gravest peril uf tho situation is the fact that agitation, now fomenting in Ulster will bo au invitation to just such rullians to uo over and firecipitutu the disturbance which the andlords so much desire. Theu there will be a loud shout for Lord Wolseley and an army corps. One may well shudder to think of what will follow."

Spenking of the great central exhibi- bition opened nt Toronto nn thc 10th Sept., tho Toronto Glohf says: An object of special attention, which by very reason of its prominence on the grounds cannot escape the attention of the most casual and careless observer, is tbe pavilion of the Dominion Orgnn Company. This Is a separate building but a little distance from the south eust of the Main Building. This pavilion must be about fiO feet by 40 feet, with u porch or railed passageway all around it extra. It is handsomely painted, with ample and almost entire glass section, comprising fully one-third of its height in windows, and announces to all in broad letters that it is the pavilion of Hint compnny, and that Joseph Kusc, of fiS Kin:-.*street West, represents the company. Inside uo pains have been spared to make it attractive, and certainly its designs hnve succeeded. No one should visit thc Exhibition without going through this pavilion, thero he will find a little paradise of mueic. Here are decorations, handsome pictures of the Dominion factory and of the presont store room of Mr, Ruse, and above all, pianos and organs of tho moat artistic aud unique designs, The display of these instruments is grand indeed, and a splendid tribute to the genius and skill of our Canadian manufacturers. Pianos and organs of every style and artistic design nre found here —a parlor grand, squares, and uprights of rose-wood, satin-wood with walnut trimmings, ebony and gold, mahogany and beryl walnut. A double manual mid pedal bass organ, with handsome pipe top, faces the visitor at the extreme end as he enters this pavilion. For company are organs of every style and design to suit thc purchaser. The Company also exhibit with the degreo of triumph and merit the fact is worthy of n cable despatch to them from Antwerp, Germany, announcing that at a Grand National Exhibition held there the Company had just carried off the first prize over all competitors for its instruments. This is certainly remarkable, though whon tho rapid rise of this Company to public favor nnd confidence is considered, not so remarkable as at first might seem. The Company's success in honors, home and international, is something remarkable. The exhibit ou thc grounds is certainly attractive und will amply repay a personal inspection and visit. Sir Charles Tupper on Wednesday InBt emphasized the high compliment he paid the Dominion Organ nud I'iano Company at the opening of tho London Fair. In his nddress from the platform of the Art Gallery, Bpcnking of thc great iinpe ttiB Exhibitions gave to every industry represented, be referred to the Canadian exhibit at tho Antwerp International Exhibition, Belgium, aud cited as uu illustration of tbe wonderful progrces this country is making, the success of the Dominion Oruan aud I'iano Company there. Ho said thut this Company {tlm Dominion Organ and I'iano Company) had not only tnkeu thc highest award there, the very highest the judges oould possibly confer over all other competitors, from England, Prnuce, and Germany, the vory coutros of oultlvated classic music, countries justly celebrated for their skill and acquirements in musical knowledge, but these judges, who comprised seine of their ablest nnd best musicians, bad declared further thnt the instruments of this company were superior to any thty hnd ever seen, heard, or examined. With such a compliment from such a source, in addition to their success at this Exhibition, the Company ought to feel content, [T.

Just jf-ow, therefore, the Liberals are occu- -3 yiug back seats, and tho Tories are Piasters of the situation. The British ■=eiublic don't heed the protest that ialisbury is using Gladstone's thunder .(o long na the thunder is good. Both l(j he Liberals and Conservatives enter Qt'Tie new parliament iu a minority. The p liighty-Bix Parnellites possess the bal- 0i jnoe of power. The Liberals dare not htnoalesce with the Homo Rulers fur fear tiM driving euoueh Whigs to the Tories ,,-u enable the latter to defeat the c»a- ei\ itiou, while on the other hand Mr. i.jj'nisuistone oan not increase his strength joy proposing any half-way measure ot mine rule, Lord Salisbury, howevor, S San largely augment his following by •,1-tdoptinit a fairly liberal policy. He .ui.-i closely watched tho situation, and 1 tas concluded to lead liis pnrty away v i "from ita traditions, but not far enough A(o bewilder it or shake its confidence Bo realizes that a contented Irish num i^'la the most easily governed man in the ''world. He believes tlmt »l THE LANDLORD SYSTEM ii pf Ireland is nt the bottom of all Irish •' discontent. He has examined this System and found it thoroughly bad j ind irredeemable, nnd has resolved to destroy it utterly and forever. He *v iaya: ''You Irishmen want independ- s *)tiee iu order to abolish landlordism. I will abolish landlordism right awny, *"■ ind then there will he no issue bo- o* tween Irishmen und Britons." This is ,1 taking the ground fi-om under the t Liberals wiih a vengeaiico, for the key- '* note to Gladstone's Irish policy is that i' the Irish need home rule to enable J thein to correct tho presont tyranny of 1 their lnnd system. The average Eng- P lishmun is awfully afraid of neighbors. cE He is afraid to permit the construction • of a tunnel under the channel for funr * some German or Gaul may use it to 1 gobble up the country. His nervous ; seiiBa of self-protection wuuld never j ulluw him to permit Ireland to become * freo. The Liberals have tried to con- f vince him that the only solution of the 1 troublesome Milesian question was '• Celtic independence, but he has recoil- ( ed in horror from the thought. Now 1 that the Conservative leader has come ' out with a new gospel nud says that * there is neither sense nor decency in 1 letting Ireland go, and that the wliole ' trouble can be settled by buying out a ' few landlords, the situation is changed. SALISRUKY LOOMS VI' before the Tories as a sort of British i Moses, and there is a very strong pros- 1 pect of an exodus of the Whigs to his standard. There is no reason for I doubting that Lord Salisbury is thoroughly sincere and in earnest iu his : new undertaking. His governmont i for a long time past has been preparing i for their task. Whilo the Liberals i and Radicals have been splurging ■ about home rule on general principles j the cabinet hnve had a commission i privately and industriously at work hi i vestigating the actual condition of the i Irish people with a view to furnishing i practical suggestions for the permanent ■ relief of the country. The investi- : gators have been secretly at work, i because what they have been seeking I is original and not second-hand infor- ; mation. Their reports are now about ull in and collated. The mass of in* \ formation obtained has convinced the l Tory premier nnd his colleagues that i the Irish question can be settled once i for all only by uprooting the landlord : system of Ireland. Accordingly n bill i having that for its final object is now i being prepared by the government, ■ nnd it will bo presont ed and pushod to an issue aa soon as possible after the i new parliament has begun its sittings. > This hill will probably be described as t a measure for the relief of Irish land ■ lords, and will enable the government i to purchaso their lands. The aim will t bo to BUY OCT EVERY LANDLORD ' in Ireland. It is intended to rate the lands at totals equaling twenty years' rental under tho present judicial rates, nnd to pay for them with consols at par. Tho occupants will then be permitted to rent the land at half the pre- •tent judicial rates, the charges to be ' paid over entire to the new local nu* ' thorities tu be created by the local government bill to be passed, the mnn* , cys to be used in defraying the ox- [ ponies nf local administration in the country. The scheme involves a new issue of consols to the amount of £100, 000,000 (nbout 8800,000,000), and such papers ns the Pail Mall Gazette will support it, as a measure affording au adequato basis for a conclusive settlement of the whole Irish difficulty. The fact that the Tory proposal, by making the government the owner of tho lnnd of Ireland and the occupiers government tenants adopts tho tench* iug of Henry Goorge, will have no weight against the powerful argumonts which the ministry are preparing to advance in justification of the scheme. In the first placo it will roducu Irish rent onu half, and that of itself must bring immense relief to the Irish people, lu the next place all the rents collected will not only bo expended in tho country, but will be used to pay the expenses of government; in other words take the place of taxes. On tho 1 landlord side the arguments are equally strong. The government will show that the total income of tho whole Irish population fnr the year 1884-5 nmounted to but £50,000,000, against £00,000,000 for the previous year, A FALLING OFF of $50,000,000 in the income in a population numbering but 5,000,000 in one year. This terrible decrease, it is officially stated, has been owing to the reduction of values of Irish agricultural products. All tho government reports agree that it is at present simply impossible for the Irish farmers to pay their rents. This stoppage in" the payment of rents ia severely folt by all tbo Knglish insurance companies ind other mortgagees of Irish lands. Lord Kenmare's estates, for example, nre mortgaged to a London insurance syndicate for $1,500,000, and the lands have not for a long time paid a penny of Interest. In order to obtain some return for tbelr properties, owners of lands have lately made til sorts of reductions ranging all the way from 20 to 00 per cent. It is fair to assume that the Irish landlords, as a class, eeoretly favor the proposed scheme for buying them out. The creditors of these landlords certainly favor Salisbury'! proposal, and these two classes will form a most f powerful influence in seeuring the sue- cess of the government bill.—flpecta* to Chicago Inter Ocean. The "flood" Example. Witli regard tu tho ubu of intoxicating drinks, I believe a minister who used them in moderation published n sermon in which ho recommended tho young man to follow his example. I am not foolish onough to say here that every man who drinks must become a drunkard. Tliere are moderate drinkers, nnd thoro are men who can bo moderate drinkers. My father was a moderate drinker, and he lived to be uinety-four yoars of ngu. He drank his glass of ale overy day for dinner, and his glass of alo overy night for supper. When I was a boy, once in a great while, I remember, hu would take a glass of hot spirits and wator before ho went to bed; but ho never was intoxicated in his life. My father wns a moderate drinking Christian, and if there is a heaven for Christians he is in it. There are some men whu cun drink moderately and somu men cannot. My father drank moderately, and ho could drink moderately. His son could uo mure drink moderately than you could blow up a powder- magazine moderately, or tire n gun off with n puff. Then you will say, "You avo u wenk-minded man." Well, let it go at that if you liko. If I am so weak-minded that I cannot drink moderately, then I am strong enough to let it alone altogether. Tho great fault of these ministers (and I am sure I nm uot the oue to criticise the ministry) is in insisting that they aro setting a good example. I deny it. They are not sotting a good example to me. Will those men undertake to argue this question and maintain this position: "What is safe for one man ie safe for another?" When I went to ace that beautiful church thoy built in Oswego I admired the benuty of the immense spire. I saw a plunk suspended on two ropes, making a little platform and then perceived a man getting out of tho window cf the spire, step on the platform and stand up. There was a man below who hallooed to him. Ue put his hands to his knees and hallooed back. Could you do that? How many of you could do it? If I set my foot out of that window, the very moment I touched my foot on the platform I would go off. Ko logic, no argument, no will, no intellect, could help it. You say, you are a wenk-minded man. I will keep otf tho plunk; that is all I aay to tho moderate drinker. You do not Bet a good example; you set un example that some men cannot follow, und that is not a good example. You say that these young men can follow your example. How do you know 1 Supposo there is a bridge over a gulf which would hold a weight of one hundred and eighty pounds, but you are one hundred and fifty pounds. Here is a man who weighs two hundred pounds, and you aay: "Follow iny examplo, young man." "I don't liko the looks of that bridge." "I have walked it forty years; it is perfectly safe." "Yos, but they say-*" "Don t mind what they say; now, follow my example, prudently and in moderation; don't get excited; don't go with a rush; now steady, with self-control, self-government, and discrimination; there you arc; beautiful; you aro doing it. finely—" but by- and-by his foot touches the contre, and with a crash and a shriek he goes to destruction. Did you set him a good example? No; you did not take into consideration the difference iu the temperament, constitution, and nervous susceptibility of that man. It will take you a life-time to study him before you can safely say, "I set you a good example," There are some men who can be moderate drinkers, and somo who cannot. I know a man who joined the church on profession of faith. I asked him if he would sign the pledge, and he refused. Ho said: "The grace of God is able to keep me; I have come out from among my young companions; I want them to understand the grace of God is able to keep me." Very good idea, very pretty, very beautiful. The grace of God has no power to prevent drink from effecting nny man's brain and nervous system if he drinks, any moro than it has to prevent the effects of laudanum if hu takes it. You can poison » Christian to death just as quickly ns you can a Hottentot. Give a man brimming over with the grace of God and a man who does not believe in the grace of God prussicacid, and they will both go down together. Havo thero buen uo men fallen to drunkenness who have had grace in the heart? Have you never had church members disciplined for drunkenness ? They have repented and confessed, and wero disciplined again and again. Are they nll self- deceived, or hypocrites, or what? There waa a poor wretch staggering through the streets of Albany uttering Greek and Latin quotations. Thoy put him in the station-house. Dr. Sprague, of Albany, went to seo him, nud recognized him as n minister of tho Gospel who once occupied ono of the highest positions in the eity of Glasgow, in Scotland, us the successor of Hev. Dr. Chalmers in the Parish church of St. John's. I suppoau he had no grace in his heart. I spoku in this city in the year 1848, near Madi* boh Square, in the pulpit of an eloquent man, of whom Dr. Eddy Baid that in some rcBpecta he was one of tho most eloquent men he had ever heard, who wub bo drunk that ho could hardly get through the prayer. Dr. Skinner, of tho Presbyterian church, asked nm if I would testify in the caso as they wero dealing witli this man, aaying, "Yuu baw the state he. wns in." I did; but I did not appear jb a witness. That poor mnn beforo he died viaited the lowest grog-shops in tho city. I sat at the table of a doctor of divinity in New England, knult at his family altar, and heard him pray in 1851, and 1852, but to-day he is a drunken hostler in a stable nt Boston. Let these men take care how they tell their brethren about example. *-TJ- wit ish to inform lhe Ladles of New Westminster that thuy have opened n ■Dress-Making Establishment -AT- Tlt.il'P Illta'S HTOIIE, * 011IIItl 1 ST.
