The trouble at tho Wellington colleries, culminating in tho lockout, by Mr. Dunsmuir's ordors, on the 3rd inst, has been browing for some time before it actually camo to a head, It iB difficult to explain the case intelligibly to the general publio owing to the necessity of making use of technical miners' expressions. The real grievances of the miners can be best conveyed by quoting hriefly from tho words ot "a Wellington miner" on the subject in a late number of the Nanaimo Courier: "To give your readers an intelligent idea of the trouble," says the Courier's correspondent, "it is necessary to say that for somo timo past it has been a custom to pay 75 cents a ton for mining in tho "stalls" and 65 cents a ton in the "pillars," but to induce the miners to work for the less price certain privileges were granted them, one of which is known amongst miners as "free turn," or, in other words, the miners working in pillars get oil the work they can do whether those working in stalls were fully employed or not This system being manifestly unjust to all concerned, a resolution was passed at a meeting of miners, on Dec. 9th, 1888, to request Mr. Bra/den, the mino manager, to pay tho same price to pillar men, and no favors." Mr. Bryden immediately forwarded tho resolution of the miners to Mr. Dunsmuir at Victoria, where, as is well known, Mr. Dunsmuir resides, leaving the local management of the mine to Mr. Bryden. On the Hth of December the mine manager conveyed tho information to the minors that Mr. Dunsmuir had declined to give the "10 cents per ton moro upon 'pillar' work." On tho 18th of December the minors held another meeting to tuke action ou Mr. Dunsmuir's reply, and passed a resolution requesting Mr. Dunsmuir to "como to Wellington to meet the men and discuss our grievances." Mr. Dunsmuir taking no notice of this resolution, tho miners, on January 2nd, 1889, took an idle day, held a meeting, and sent a committee to tho mine manager, Mr. Bryden, "to see if he would not pay tho 10 cents per ton to 'pillar' menus asked beforo." Tho manager said ho could do nothing without consulting Mr. Dunsmuir, which ho did, and received tho following reply, on January 3rd: "Tf miners aro not satisfied shut down the mines." The minors received this with some indignation and passed a resolution notifying Mr. Dunsmuir to "meet. us before January 7th, 1889, or wo cease work." Mr. Dunsmuir ordered the following telegram to be handed to a committee of the miners: "I havo ordered my mines shut down. Oan be seen at my office in Victoria at any time." Other grievances aro stated by the Courier's correspondent to the effect that, about three months ago, Mr. Dunsmuir had made an agreement with the men for them to hare a committee of thoir own choice in each mine, to arbitrate, and, if possible, to settle any dispute which might arise between the individual miner end foreman, and failing to settle with tho foreman or manager, to write or telegraph him and he would come immediately. The miners assert that this agreement has been violated by tho mine manager, who refused to treat with a committee about some trilling grievance, telling them to "mind their own business," and also refused to re-employ a discharged miner, giving as a reason that he referred his case to a committee. The conference at Victoria, on the 9th inst, between Mr. Dunsmuir and a deputation of the miners, a verbatim roport of whioh has been published by the Colonist, threw very littlo additional light on the minors' grievances, which remain substantially as stated above, but Mr. Dunsmuir's action throughout has been somewhat explained. It would appear that at the time of tbe last strike Mr. Dunsmuir gave the men emphatically to understand that no one participating in any future strike should ever thereafter work in his mines again. Hence the look-out, ordered by Mr. Dunsmuir, who, foreseeing a strike, wished to savo his own word and himself the necessity of discharging all his miners nt the same time. At the conference, after the deputation had been assured *>y Mr. Dunsmuir that he would not grant the 10 cents per ton asked on "pillars," but vould see that every practical miner made a full day's wages, the deputation urged that the principle of recognizing miners' committes ahould be established, and also that all of the. miners should be allowed to go back to,work, which the depot*^ Jpiev*)d, tbey would be willing, to do, ond no more trouble would be made. Mr, Dunsmuir's reply to thi. requart-wa*, in effeot, that he would ttoomite up "tending griev- tm,mrWmM^ w"re **** imMmWi/tUft'i^at,be ""* ptirfq*-, f4imjm».,v4 breeding trouble in the min** and that he would not allow all tha miners to to work, as there were some troublo- somo oharactors among them whom he knew to bo agitators and ringleaders, and it would be bettor both for him and the rest of the miners that they should bo discharged. The sending up of special constables was explained as a precautionary measure against possible lawless outbreaks. It was, then, on Mr, Dunsmuir's refusal on the two points abovo that the miners, according to our special despatches yesterday, have concluded to strike. We are inclined to the conclusion that, in view of all the circumstances, the strike is an unfortunate and ill- advised one on tho part of the miners, and that Mr. Dunsmuir cannot fairly be blamed for the stand he has taken, according to tho ovidenco, and the matter has been pretty thoroughly ventilated. REQUISITI 131 THE BET. G. G. PATTERSON Afft-jat-i Cryftr Rttlwr'iCiritorla Of tbilllwbnck, «n Temperance and Froblblllnn. Wo publish tho following lecture by I'ogiioat: Henderson Hall, nt Chilliwhack, was well tilled on Christmas night to hear the Rev. G. C, Patterson's address on temperance. After replying to several questions that had beeu sent to him on the day before tu answer at this meeting, he referred to Col. Wood ford's recent statement in tlio hall, and said if the colonel meant to teach that the separation of the Methodist body from the temperance cause, would take the "stuffing" out of it, it was atill a matter for thankfulness that the brains nnd heart and backbone would remain; but Col. Woodford said thai, tho "stuffing" would be knocked out of the temperance sentiment, by the withdrawal of tho Methodist body. Now if this means anything it is that the "stuffing" is that which gives solidity, weight, value to the sentiment, and if this is removed then the sentiment collapses. The rev. gentleman went on to say that he believes that there are tens of thousands of people not only in the United States but elsewhere, outside of tho Methodist body, who are just sb loyal to the temperance cause, and to every other good cause as any who are within that fold. If tbo Methodist or Presbyterian church perished the temperance cause would still live, for the cause is broader than any churoh, and it is extremely unfortunate that iu the discussion of this question sectarianism should havo been introduced. One of the questions that I have been asked is: "If you are a temporauco worker and in favor of such organizations as the I. O. G. T. and W. 0 T. U., how is it that all the Presbyterians lmve withdrawn from these organizations?" Have they withdrawn? If bo I am nut responsible for their actions in this matter, nor can I detenu ino their conduct. Tbe Presbyterian church is not a mechanism, but an organism. These are voluntary institutions. Neither directly or indirectly have I sought to influence them in the matter; they are free; the cause of their withdrawal mny be found in the organizations themselves. It is not necessary to be identified with either of them iu order to become true workers in the temperance cause. The statements made were uncharitable; Buch statements are not calculated to increase people's respect for these organizations. They reveal a spirit of narrow-mindedness and sectarianism that ought to be crushed out, or it will crush out the lifo nnd usefulness of these societies. For, depend upon it, the narrow-minded, fussy, meddlesomo people are not the greatest powers for good in any community or in any cause. They are fussy and troublesome just because of their own littleness; noiip does not mean strength, agitation does not mean progress. The silent forces in nature are tho most potent; tho shallow stream makes a considerable noise, the mighty river moves on with irresistible powers, yet without noise. A little army of these fussy individuals swarm about the temperance cause particularly when it becomes popular, or when they have au axe to grind. Dare to criticise their methods of work and at onco a great shout goes up "he is opposed to temperance;" dare to suggest some improvement in their methods, and with all their might they cry out "heis acrnnk," "puthim out, "he is opposed to prohibition;" dare to say anything that is hot quite in lino with their particular or peculiar modes of thought, and they conclude that you are a trator to tho cause of temperance, and that you are in league with the liquor party. What is the explanation? It is not fnr to seek; they think they are the temperance cause; the only true temperance party; in reality they aro so poisoned with self-conceit that, as with a wasp, "you are much better without either their honey or their sting," They consider anything said about them as aaid about tho temperance cause; in fact they remind me of a very conceited student I once knew, wbo spoke and acted as if he were uncertain whether lie was a part of creation or creation a part of him. One of the most educated! men in this country buttonholed him one day and said, "John, there are three things that you ought to know. First, there ore a few things in the world that you do not know; secondly, there •re a few other things that you never will know; thirdly, the sooner you know this the better." So there area few things about this temperance cause that these people do not know, there are a few other things they will never know, and it is a great pity for the sake of the good cf their cause that they do not know this now, for it is a painful faot, a humiliating foot, but nevertheless ofact, that many of the "out and outers" especially of this olass, become so fanatical, so narrow- minded, that they dig their own graves and unconsciously do their level best to dig the grave of the cause they have at heart So far as intoxicating liquors are concerned I believe in total abstinence, but I have no right to force my opinions upon others, or to consign to perdition all who are not total abstainers. The Law of God does not demand It, If all who have used liquors in moderation will beoxcluded from Heaven, our hope of entrance must be very small indeed; total abstainers though we may be, does not the Bible teach us, that the evil is not in the liquor, but in the man; somo will say "That ii all the liquor party requires, leave them some way of escape, and they will stick to the traffic." I answer, must we suprcss Bible truth in order to help on the temper* nnco cause; if so, it is a weak and unholy cause. It Is not necessary, for the temperance cause is divine iu its origin, and has the well-being of man in view; no truth need be sacrificed, JOHN HENDRY, Esq. •Slit,—Wo tho undersign I'll having confidence In your ability, request that you will accept tbo nomination for Mayor forthe following year and promise our support and Interest.

If elected I will endeavor to the best of my ability, to place onr city in the front rank of the cities of B.C. The following important questions will have my careful attention: 1. 1Uim**ay.-1 will use overy legitimate means In my power to bring to a successful termination the building and completion of theSouthern Railroad, and will treat liberally any projected railway which may wish to run into oar city, always carefully guarding the best Interests of the city, And it is my opinion If we are true to ourselves and bnry any little differences that may exist and work shoulder to shoulder, wo can make New Westminster the greatest railway center and most Important oity between Seattle and Alaska. 2. Wateb Supply.—I am in favor of the city owning its own watef works, for there Is a very large revenue to be derived from this source, If properly conducted, and Jf elected, I will at once take up this question and deal with It on business principles, Water rate debentures whon Issued,bear their own value and will not bo ono dollar's tax ou the ratepayers. 3. Sewerage.—This Ib one of tbe most important questions that tbe new council will have to grapple with, and, as there Is bound to bo a large emigration here this year, It behooves us to bo alive and get our city well advanced bo as to keep away those dread diseases which wo so mercifully escaped last year. And I have no doubt If you elect the right men a scheme can be got up whereby tbo city can be ,-—"—-cd.andtherevenuoderived f water bo made to nay tbe diking •*—-'*-- '■-*•- works and sewerage. I. Streets—Something must bo done nt once to open up all streets ln the city sons to give workingmen ond mechanics a chance to get to their lots nnd buildings, and, If elected, I will give tbls subject my careful attention and hearty support. 5. City Kali..—If any proposition Ib brought forwnrd for the erection of a suitable city hall, nnd If tho finances of the city will allow It, I will give It my warmest support, 0. SniKET LiGiniNfi.—I will favor tbe extending nnd Improving of our system of street lighting, for there is no doubt It will stand considerable Improvement. 7. Park.—In order to make the coming agricultural show a success we mast put a portion of the city park ln a fit condition with suitable buildings, etc If elected I will do my bent to make the grounds a credit to the royal oity. I am also In favor of removing the unsightly stumps on Albert Crescent and planting a few shade trees to replace the stumps. Nnturohns dono much for our city and It only wants touching up a littlo to make it perfect, 8. Punr-jo Library.-There Is no doubt a new building ts wanted to replnco tbo dclnpldntod one now occupying a valuable tot, and 1 ticro is no doubt ln my mind, but that a suitable one could boo-octcd with stores underneath and library above; nnd tbo rents from said stores would more than pny for Interest nnd sinking fund, nnd leave n balance for keeping tbe library ln proper condition. 9. Man!*factci*-er8.-I will oncourogo any manufacturers thatcontemplate starting business ln this oity, treating them Ina liberal manner, and will useevery efforttoshow them the advantage of doing buslneis here. It is well known that manufactures are tbe backbone of any city. 10. Communications.—I will urge upon our representative the necessity of the Dominion governmcntsubsldislngafdaily boat between here and Richmond and also between here and Ladners Landing. We must also get better connections with tho surrounding district, II, Letter B0XK8.-I will alsoondeavor to havo tho postal authorities supply and put ln place letter boxes in the suburbs of the city. 12.1 will also urge on our city member the necessity of having tbe local government place a sum of money ln thia year's estimates to put the North Arm road ln a fit condition ror travel. in.

NIIIIA MMHI, ...... , _.__ METHODS OF COURTING, Tbey Vary Considerably In Different Parts of tha World. " How the Esqa^-fiai**- naa Australian Uush- raou Cuptu**o *fheir Brides - Tho Asiatic Way—A Curlonr- Custom Observed In Holland. Among tbo ancient Assyrians all marriageable young girls woro assembled at ono place, and tbe public crier put them up for salo ouo after the otber, says a writer ln tho Epoch, Tbe money wlileh was received for thojfe who, were handsome, and consi-qucntl^old-welli waa bestowed as a wedding poi;'tjton,Q-J tlfpse who wero plain. When lUo moat beautiful had been disposed of tho moro ordinary looking ones were offered for a certain sum, and allotted to th03o willing to tako them. Iu miciont Greece tbe lover was seldom favored with an opportunity of tolling bis passion ti) his mistress, and ho used to publish it by inscribing hor natno on tbo woHs, on i\\v_ bark of tbo trees in the public walkB mill upon thb loaves of books. Ho would decorate the door of her houso with garlands, and mako libations of wino before it, in tho manner that was practised in the tomplo of Cupid. ' - ■ According to Or. Hayds, courtship among tho Esquimaux has not much tenderness about it. The match Is made by the parents of tbe couplo. Tha lover must go out and capture a polar bear as an evidence of his courage and strength. That accomplished, ho snoulca behind the door of his sweetheart's house, and when aho comas out he pounces upon hor and trios to carry her to Iiib dog-slcdgo. Sho screams, bites, locks und breaks away from bim. Ho gives chase, whereupon all the old women of ttie settlement rush out aud boat her with frozen strips of sealskin. Bho falls down exhausted, . the lover lashes her to his sledgo, whips up his dogs, dashes swiftly over tho frozen snow and tho wedding Is consummated. Tho Australian lover Is still more lacking ln tenderness, If the statement made by Mrui'i Deley is truo. The lover makes up tlio mind as to which woman shall bo his brides and thou hides in the bushes in tbe vioiniiy of her dwelling. As soon as Bhe cotpoji liour tho spot where ho is concealed ho knocks her down with a dub, and carries her oil beforo she comes to. If he does not get her to his hut before she recovers, there is likely to bo a lively fight in tho bush, for tho Australian damsel is generally u vigorous one, and may have reasons of her own for objecting to his attentions. Tlio lover may then bo obliged to club her op-urn, and as that is considered to be somewhat of a reflection on the ardor with which his earlier effort was mode, he is apt to put as much soul and muscle into Ids first love pat as ho can summon. In some parts of Asia the question of a man's title to a bride must be settled by a fierce fight between the friends of the contracting-parties. If his forces are victorious his sweetheart becomes his trophy. If hor friends are victorious ho must pay bucIi price as. tho victors demand. All over that country somo ceremony of violence or exhibition of physical power must precede a wedding. Bomo native tribes insist upon afoot race between tbo brido and bridegroom, to decide the question of marriage, and othors require a long chaso on horseback. In some sections of Asia tho lover must carry off his bride on his back. If he reaches his hut with her thoro can bo no protest against the marriage; failing in that, he must pay hor parents for her in cattle, ■ The willing brido makes no outcry; the unwilling brido arouses tho whole village, the residents of which try to rescue her. j, In the Isthmus of Darlen either sex can do the courting, while in tho Ukraine tho girl generally intends to it. When she falls in lovo with u man sho noes to bis house and declares her passion. ' If nb declines to accept hor sho remains there, and bu case becomes rather distressing. To turn her out would provoke her kindred to avenge the insult. Tho young fellow has no rosort left him but to run away from home until tho damsel is otherwise disposed of. A curious custom prevails in OudBeior* land, Holland. October is the auspicious month, and on tho first Sunday (known as roviow day) tho lads and lasses, attired in thoir best, promonade the village separately, stare each othor out of countouonoe, and thon retire to make up tholr minds on the second Sunday, which is called dooiBion day. Tho young mon go up and pay their • .compliments to tho fair onos of their j choice, to learn If thoy aro rogarded with favor. Oa tho third Sunday, or day of purchase, the swain is expected to snatch the pocket Handkerchief of hi* adored one, and if sho submits to it with good grace he understands that his chances of winning her are flattering. Tho captured pledge.is restored to tho fair owner on tho fourth Sunday, tho "Sunday of taking possession," , and it rarely happens that tho damsel refuses the lover for whom she has indicated a preference.- Ou tho Sunday following tho ', suitor, according to custom, calls at tho houso of his Inamorata, whero he is asked ' to tea. If a piece of the crust of a ginger* i bread loaf Is handed to him, there is noth- , ing loft for him but to retire. If, on the ' other baud, the parents offer the young , man a piece pf the crumb, ho Ib allowed to come again Land he is admitted into the family. | '.'• PINNED HER BARGAIN. A Woman. Swallows » Merchant'! Bait* bnt Ulev-rTly Avoids the Book* Thero is a good moving story which has just gained publicity regarding some rather prominent furniture-dealers in Chicago, ' Bays tbe Herald of that oity. The firm alluded to had a very elegant parlor set of solid mahogany and tho finest upholstering. ' It also had duplicates in veneered wood and cheap plush in the store-room. Tho costly outfit, which was worth about (200, was j displayed ln the window and marked: 'This elegant parlor suit only (27.-' One day a mild, meek-looking woman came tn, examined the furniture and- invested. Sho took a receipt for her mouoy, left hor address, and was bowed out by tbe smiling salesman, wbo assured hor that "the things would be , sent right over." In due time tho wagon arrived at the young .woman's house and bucked up ln front of the door. "Hold on," said tho purchaser, "don't unload yot," Thon she climbed on tbo van and made a ! very peculiar examination of tho load. At last sho said to the driver and his assistant: "I'll go back with you to the store. Theso are not tbe goods I purchased." And baok she did go, despite entreaties, protests and assurances "tbat every thing was all right." Whon she walked in sho was not tho mild- mannered creature of two hours before. "You'w trltfj toAwindle me," she cried, "I bought one set of furniture and you have I sent me another. Now, I want what I bave paid you for. How do I know? Because in every article of that set you sold mo I stuck , a pin In while you were not looking. Now, I'm going to pick out m** property and see that you take it over.

Tho Wholo Fatally Came from Asia, liul Only the Gray Ones Survive**,.'-'.; Tbo black and brown rats are particularly deserving of notice, and are, the most widely distributed over §_o world, 'according to a writer in the Ban Franc|sco <&on- iei>. .-It iauot known whore or how. they were introduced into Europe first, but it must havo boen in recent times, as tbo ancients did not know tbem. They both appear to bo natives of tbe central part pf Asia. The brown rat found its way to Europe In tho beginning of the eighteenth century, and reached Britain and tbo western countries of Europe about the middle of that epoch- Tbe Jacobites of Britain had tbe notion that.they came with the houso of. Hanover, qs they appeared about that time, aud therefore chose to call them tho Hanoverian rat. They are sometimes erroneously called tho Norway rat. The brown rat is larger and more powerful tbat tho block rat, and they are deadly foes. Tho brown rat has succeeded in causing un utmost total disappearance of the black rat in places where it i**a*> very numerous. According to Mr.; RodeivcU'e theory, tbe manner in wbloh tbe brown tat has supplanted its black foe Is by lovo instead of war. Tho browns being tbo stronger, carry off the females of tbo blacks by force, and thus he accounts for the curious kind of particolored offspring which may be found in France. These rats infest ships, aud bo are carried to tbo most distant parts of tbo world, somo of them gettingashoreat ovory port and establishing new colonies, Tbo black rat Ib nearly sovon inches long, aod tho brown grows to bo ten inches, with a tall eight inches long. Both spaci^s are extremely prolific, producing f**om (t«-W to fourteen at a birth. Whon thoy «e prefsed by hunger they do not hesitate to ,dfjfour the'weuker of their kind. v ' Tho rat's never-failing appetite is especially useful in devouring animal and vegetable*substances, tho putrefaction of which would otherwise .ho productive of pestilence. It is said that tho visits of the plague to Western Eurcpo and Britain havo ceased from the timo when rats became plentiful. *. ' I:* Their sense of smoll is vory acute, so much so that rat-catchers aro careful to glove tbelr hands whon Betting their traps. Tho professional rat-catcher in England wears a-brass imago of a rat as a sign of his business. Tbe ways and means pf catching them are a professional secret They procure them alive and sell them to ratpit keepers. Theso pit-keepers have a sort of hole where thoy let the rats loose and dogs ore set on them, Crowds of boys and men pay to seo this cruel sport, The skin of rats is made into gloves In Paris, and in Siberia there is a field mouse tbat stores up such quantities of dried roots and other food to last through the long winter of that country tbat half-starved people thero hunt their nests and carry off most of the food for their own use. A troop of trained rats, were exhibited some time ago, dressed like . mon and women. Thoy walked on tholr hind legs and went through a sort of play, ono act of which was to hang a cat and dance around tho body. ^ UNSKILLED LABOR. What Men Without a Trade Earn In the City of Chicago. "There Is hardly such a thiug imaginable ob unskilled labor among men,'*' said an Lu- tolligont mechanic to a Chicago iYcic* reporter. "We hear the term used very often," he continued, "because It distinguishes tho common laborer from iho skilled workman. It is a fact, howevur, that no matter bow humble a man's occupation may bo he still must -have 'some skill. Toe ono who shovols on tho street must know how to use his shovel or bo cau not perform tbo work to h« own odvantago or that of his employer. A man can not chop. wood with any profit unless ho can swing tbe axo skillfully; noither cau ho carry tho hod unless he kuoWs how to load tho brick In It and how to climb the udder. Thoro seems to bo no such thing among civilised men as unskilled labor, but there ts such a thing as a trade. It is not the Indepeudont mechanic who needs the protection that is afforded by a union half so much as the helpless laborer who has no trade. Hois at tho mercy of every body, and no ono falls to tako advantage ot his weakness. I myself have seen strong, able-bodied Swedes go into tho lumber-yards of Chicago and got but nlnty cents a day, while men who could not do half as much work as they got $1,50, simply because tho Swede could not speak English. Tho Swede bad learned to do tbe work by serving a abort apprenticeship, but advantage wiw taken of his Ignorance." The common laborer, who has only his muscle to sell, has much to contend with in Chicago. His moro skillful brothers have sought to protect themselves from Ute avarice of capital by forming unions, and have succeeded in dictating to what extent they may bo imposed upon. Under these circumstances the burden of the common laborer has boon mado harder to bear s*jd tbo avarice of capital falls upon his devoted hood alone. Rarely Is tho common laborer paid a sum sufficient to maintain bis family and educate bis children. If he works upon the railroad in any capacity his lncomo Is never more than H.4Q a day; and when bis board at tho rate of U a weok t» Mid uot muoh remains for bis jfamjjy. In , the jail- road freight bouses he K-oelyes from 11.25 to 9LS0 a day, and in. the barns of the street railroad companies he gets 11.60 a day on the North side and HMX on the West and South Bides. In tho lumber-yards the pay ranges from 60 coats to Sl.GQ-a day, old men receiving even less than 00 cents. In tho labor of unloading bouts the pay is never moro than 90 cents an hour, and the work- is exceedingly irregular. Men who work about buildings in tbe courso of orection, helping brick-layers aud stone-masons, got an average of f 1.35 a day. lu the matter of hours tho common laborer Ib again subjected to hardships, having to remain loug after ho sees skilled workmen lay down thoir tools aud go borne. With theso indisputable facts before him, every boy should tako a warning and becomo muster of some mechanical art before hts maturity. In Krafts* Crlsjper Vein.

It ia reported that small-pox has broke out among tho Indians on Bute Inlet and that many of the people are already down with tho disease. > Mr. P. McTieman and Di. McGliigan leave for the Inlet to-morrow to investigate. Some tnischevious persons, with the bump of destruction remarkably well developed, have broken aeveral of the young trees iu the school yard. If any clue leading to the discovery of the perpetrators of this Billy act can be obtained they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. -'Dutch Bill" is tho hero of the hour.

Clause 8: No person in arrears for taxes, and no Chinaman or Indian shall be entitled to vote at any municipal election for the election of a mayor or alderman. On Monday lost a delegation of farmers interested in the Surrey- Delta dyking scheme waited on Mr. Chiiholm M. P., at this city, and laid the points of the scheme before him and asked his assistance in bringing the matter before the Dominion house, which Mr. Chisholm promised to do. We have described the advantages of this undertaking before, and, as our readen are aware, it is worthy of every reasonable governmental assistance and encouragement. We have it on good authority that the Vancouver council have made overtures to tho Surrey and other municipalities on the south side of the river, asking them to co-operate with Vancouver in inducing the C.P.R. to make their proposed connection with Seattle through those municipalities to Vancouver, instead of by way of the Million, as announced recently, Was the Mission scheme a blind, or is Vancouver awaking to a senso of injury, without compensation, that connection with Seattle at the Minion would do to hor interests? Vruni ihe aqaaailsa. Mr. P. McTiornan, Indian agent, returned from the Squamish last evening. He reports that the small-pox haa been completely wiped out and that there ia no further cause for alarm as far as the Home Sound Indiana are concerned. Tho Squamish Indiana, 35 in number, will be removed next week lo Capilano creek and furnished with a complete new outfit of bedding and olothing.

The Miners Htrlke llBChangfd.--The Victoria Footballers Try ta Explain. Special to Columbian.] Victoria, Jan. 12.—Alight snow fell thia morning, but disappeared as rapidly as it came. The weather cleared about oleven and Italian skies are again to the fore. A heavy fall of enow Ib reported along the island railway, a foot to eighteen inches deep at some places. W.Ward, secretary of tho Victoria Football Club, referring to tho matoh with tho Westminster team, said, "A number of our men have boen injured at lato games and are not sufficiently recovered to play to-day. Othora were unable to get away owing to press of business. Notice, to tliis effect, was Bent last Thursday, "We will play Westminstor later on." The situation at Wellington is unchanged. Meal Bitale Aellve. With tho beginning of tho now year the real estate market, bo long depressed, lias hardened, und sales of important parcels aro of daily occurrence. On Wednesday some $50,000 worth of town and Burburban land was sold, and several other sales are in treaty. This revival of confidence ii most gratifying and iB probably indicative of a brisk and profitable market during the whole year. The application for a Bute Inlet railway and the proposed construction of the electric Btreet railway, hai undoubtedly proved an important factor in bringing about this desirable change.—Colonist. Hats Off, For the Verdict. Mr. Hawthornwaite, captain of the Nanaimo Rovers, and Mr. W. A. Ward, secretary of tho Victoria Football Club formed themselves into a convention and met at Victoria tlie other day to consider the question of where championship matches should be playod. Every member of the convention took an active part in the discussion and considered tho pros and cons of the question in a most liberal and unselfish light. It was finally decided, by a unanimous vote, that na tbe Vancouver ground is positively dangerous all matches for the championship must in future be played at Victoria. This mighty convention did not pass a resolution of non-intercourse with mainland clubs, probably for the reason that tho decision already arrived at would accomplish the end in view. Machine Shops and Ship Yard. The machine shop lately started by the Royal City Planing Mills Co., aud mentioned iu The Columbian laat week, is going to prove n muoh greater benefit to the oity than is generally supposed. Yesterday, additional machinery, to the value of 915,000, was ordered through F. G. Strickland & Co., and when this new instalment has been put in place the plant will be complote. Tho Royal City Mills Co., has also ordered through F. G. Strickland & Co., a complete plant of ship building machinery of the latest and most improved type. When the shipyard und machine shops are in full running order 150 men will be employed between the two, which means several thousand dollars per month to be expended in Westminster. Still more improvements will be made by the Royal City Mills later on. » ■♦ » Dyack Fire Company. A metting of the Hyack Fire Company was held in the Hyack Hall lost evening for the election of officers for the ensuing year. The election re* suited as follows: Captain, Joseph Henly; 1st Lieut.

A diacuasion then took place as to who would be the Hyack nomi* nees for the offices of chief and assistant chief engineer. Mr. T. Acker* man for chief and Mr. W. W. Dickenson for assistant engineer were finally selected.

When it was learned at Vancouver that the steamer had been released before the expiration of the usual quarantine the health authorities decided not to al low the vessel to tie up or the passengers to land, and, accordingly when ahe reached the wharf Chief of Police Stewart prevented a landing being made. As was expected, this created considerable of a row and a few pas* lengen jumped ashore but were quickly captured and put aboard again, The captain notified Mayor Oppenheimer that he had a clean bill of health and that he would hold the city responsible for the costs of the enforced delay. At latest reports tho vessel was anchored in tho stream. It wai reported on the street thii morning that the Premier would come to Westminster and disoharge her passengers and the authorities were prepared to prevent any suoh thing happening, but it is hardly possible such a course was thought of by the company. The storm at Welland carried away the new float bridge built across the canal. Churches suffered considerably. The old engine shed of the St, Catherine! & Niagara Central railway was blown down. A heavy rain and wind itorm prevailed in St, Catherines on Wedneiday. Towards evening the wind rose to tbe fury of a gale, and by midnight a cyclone was raging. The roof of the Merriton mills, a large stone structure, and the roof of a stone house attached to Riordan's paper mill wero torn off and a large chironey.somo 40 or 50 feet high, at J. B. Henderson's woollen mills, was blown down. The peoplo of this country havo spoken. They declare hy thoir patronage of Dr. Thomas' Eeleotric Oil, that they believe it to be an article of genuine merit, adapted tothe cure of rheumatism, as well as relievos the pains of fractures and dislocations, external injuries, corns, bunions, piles and other maladies, EXCITEMEOTtfVMCOUVER.

The islander Aiienpls lo Clear Ihe Whnrf wlih Hot Water aid Cily Retaliates by Calling oat Fire Brigade aad Tarns Two Streams on Ihe Boat. From Our Special Correspondent. Vancouver, Jun. 12.—Shortly after 10 o'clock thia morning Captain Irving trasferred the passengers from the Premier to the Islander in the harbor and then steamed to the Hasting's mill wharf nnd attempted to land, but was refused permission by tho mill owners. The mayor and police with a number of specials occupied tho O.P.R. and city wharves lu force. Tho Islander returned to the C.P.R. wharf and attempted to effect a landing but was repulsed by police. Capt. Irving turned tho hose of the Islander on the wharf, and tho city retaliated by calling out the fire department and turned two streams on tho boat. Captain Irving finally gave up tho attempt and the Islander is now anchored off tho wharf. Mayor Oppenheimer intends to resist any attempt to land. Irving claims that after tho Dominion quarantine officer gave the Premier a clean bill of health tho city had no right to resist tho landing, in which ho is sustained by the collector of customs here. The matter will probably be fought out in the courts. The blunder is still hero and great excitement prevails. Among the passengers from Victoria nre Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Rand and Mrs. Keith and child. No word from Ottawa yet, The Victoria passengers and mails are still aboard the Islander, Capt. Irving not having touched the wharf till after taking the Premier's passengers aboard. CORRESPONDENCE. "Voter" and Mr, Cnnniughnm. Editor Columbian: — Mr. Cunningham's communication of yesterday would seem to indicate that ho is not a willing volunteer, but that lie was pressed into the service when he joined the ticket for aldcrmanic honors. A pressed soldier is not desirable. If it Ib going to bo such a sacrifice to Mr. Cunningham to serve in the city council as his utterances would imply, much bettor to decline unwilling service. The royal city needs at present the help of citizens who will be able to attend to their business; we have had enough of "adjourned for want of a quorum," we are not prepared to offer a bonus for aldernianie services just yet, Mr. Cunningham should have considered his ability to servo on the council before offering his services. His compliments to those who have expressed then- views publicly and also to the outgoing council are not very prudent. They may hare been led into mistakes, but I don't think they can bo charged with "plundering." I did not intimate that candidates should be obliged to publish their address, but that they should "step on the platform and express themselves." It is too lato after the nomination to declare intentions, for then the voters may be confined to the ticket. Voter. Ratepayer's Views. Editor Columbia!-:—Mr, Thos. Cunningham's letter of yesterday was a surprise, in that, whilo he would have us reach out for and attain to a position amongst the cities of the coast, he would still keep up that old village style of giving his views in his store or upon the street. Now, if Mr. Cunningham were to call a public meeting to state his views, there are many who might not be able to attend, but who would read hia views, and, no doubt, be edified if expressed in the proper manner, through tho medium of tlie press. An election address is required, and it is to Mr. Cunningham's interest as a property-holder to sit in that council, no matter how meekly he sets aside bis claim to a seat. The press, the acknowledged medium for conveying the views, acta or intended purpose ef one man, to many, should bo used in Westminster, as it is in all cities of importance, and for onoe I would have rejoiced to see that old mossback principle give way to the enlightenment of the age, and have Been this gentlemen and other candidates state their views in as manly a manner as Mr, E. S, Scoullar; but, if they intend to follow this course of silence in the council, they had better not lay claim to a seat. Ratepayer, [From second page.] for any moral perversion of this kind must ultimately be productive of untold evil—an evil far more serious in its consequences than the one we would bo rid of. Daniel was a total abstainer, but he did not make any ipecial noise about it, he did not insist on everyone else doing as he did. If he had, the attempt would have been a miserable failure. Where the law of God gives liberty, why should men seek to impose bondage ? We aro all members of one family; if one member suffers it ia a detriment to all. We should be deeply interested in one another; there are those who are being ruined by drink; if Christ died for them cannot we in the spirit of true brotherhood, in the spirit of Paul who said "If meat make my brother to stumble I will eat no flesh while the world standeth," give up that which is dragging him down. There is no dignity acquired iu resolving to use every facility for self-indulgence, but abstinence* from a good motive, purifies and elevates. If I wound my brother's weak conscience I do more than satisfy my appetite; 1 oppose Christ; freedom without lovo generates bondage. With reference to prohibition, I am in favor of it just ai soon as the country is ready for it, and as soon as the country is ready for it we will have it. So long, howover, as a majority of the people will insist on individual rights will it be impossible; and so long as an attempt is made to foroe it upon the people will it be impossible. What then are we to do in order to gain prohibition? Are we simply to agitate? Mere agitation never serves any good fiurpose; the agitation must be intel- igent, and must bo wisely directed to the deaired end. Is it through politics that it Ib to be secured? Nol We do not want politics in religion. If the churoh in any of its parts becomes a political organization its spirituality is lost, its beneficient power is gone. So alio we do not want politics in the temperance cause, for if tho temperance party becomes a political machine iti influence is gone—it has dug ita own grave; the cause may rise again but it will tako yean to gain what was lost, No, we do not want politics in religion, nor in the temperance cause; but we do want religion in politics and in tho temperance cause, and the more the better, for there is a world of difference between the two. Some of you will lay: "We have religion in the temperance cause now." Yes, but we want more of it; for when we get religion more thoroughly worked into the temperance cause, and worked out through the lives of those engaged in the cause, we ihall havo much grander results. There muit be an inlay before thero is nn outlay, an involution betoro there is an evolution, that will be of permanent value here. The real work, the foundation work, upon which prohibitory legislation must rest, cau only be dune, not by conventions or by acts of parliament, but by individual effort under tho power of truth. If thia cause is the cause of God the weapons we must use are not carnal but spiritual. The work that ia most benefical to man, is most glorifying to God; his desire is that man should be free, not enslaved. If we are to take any true part in this great work, behind all our professions, all our words, there muit be a life, or they will be powerless for good. For the evil is nob in the saloon, or in the brewery, but in the mar. If the man is healed at the centre of his being he will be God's free man, temperate in all things, and then, if never before, he will understand that temperance cannot be dwarfed into total abstinence, or prohibition either, for temperance is broader than these; it touches the man at every point and regulates the whole of life. If we believe in the Cross and its triumphs, let us live and labor in ita spirit, for God will be with us just as wo are loyal to His truth—to Him who is truth—and to Hia methods. Our wenpons mual be spiritual. In conclusion, allow mo to say I am strongly againat the liquor traffic and the innumerable evils In connection with it, and I maintain that nny man who has brains enough and bodily vigor enough to make a success of business ia too good a man to spend his* time and energies in this demoralising,' and soul-destroying traffic I pity the man who resorts to it as an easy means of gaining a livelihood, but believe the attempt to drive them out of it could only result in evil. No, we must lead them out of it on to better things. Not by means of outward force; not by the majesty of the human law, is the victory to be gained; it is by the strength of conviction, the force of truth; the nil-conquering power of lovo. This is the method of the Gospel; and I would say to all of you who are true workers in tho temperance cauae, go on—you have plenty of work to do on theae lines, laid down by one wiser than ourselves; and if you do your best it will bring rest, satisfaction, and reward. The "Tocsin op the Soul, the Din- ner Bell," as Byron calls it, suggests no pleasing reflections to the dyspeptic, bilious sufferer, He partakes, of course, but the subsequent torment is egregiously out of proportion to the quantity of food he eats, whioh lies undigested, a weight like lead In his unhappy stomach. There is a remedy, however, and its name is Northrop & Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure.
