Neither abuse nor flattery will deter ' Thc Claim ' from the duty of publishing, what we believe to be correct facts, however stubborn they may appear; and, at tire same, , time we shall expose'what.we deem to be erroneous judgments ou the issues of the day. We are trot subservient to capitalists, nor, to airy political party; we live in a free country, with a free press; and, we intend to fully exercise the privileges we'enjoy, Orrr readers may see us through various coloured spectacles, but we firmly assure them, our only object in view is to promote the progress of the district on clear straightforward lirres. This brief explanation arises from recent correspondence appearing in these columns. We are always ready to hear the \\ opinions of our fellow citizens, and to afford them oppcrtotrities to publish the same, although, their ideas may be opposed lo our own; 'but, we wish to point out the 'necessity of adhering, as far. as possible, to facts; nnd more particularly so, when they'venture into the realms of reasonable criticism. Irr tli is issue wc are pleased to publish a letter from Mr. Kirkland. He does not require introduction\", for we all know him as an ardent politician arrd a poprrlar pioneer of pioneers. We regret that our space is too limited to do full justice to the merits of his letter, so we will only refer to the personal criticism with which he favours us. His letter,'amongst other things, comments on our having 'circulated a petition, (since, many moons have passed), with regard to Orientals Now as far as we ' can recollect, that petition was serrt up from Victoria to Atlin for signatures: we do rrot remember any reference- in it. being made lo Orientals; but think, wc are quite correct in stating, that)' its object was solely to facilitate the immigration of Europeans into British Columbia. Wc most heartily agree with Mr. Kirkland's interpretation of lhe word\" menial'; and we are Hor aware of having used it in any other sense. King Carlos. >W*L Fresh .Fruit and Vegetables During the past few months, lhe late King, Carlos, was in difficulties for he was attempting to rule Portugal without a parliament --'- for its own good; the political parties have beerr playing into one another's hands for years. He probably got his instincts for ruling from his Sax-Coburg grandfather, Prince Ferdinand, who married Maria II. His own mother was air Italian and his widowed Queen, Marie Amelia, is French. The late King reigned for eighteen years. His eldest son, who was likewise victimized by the assassins, was the Duke of Braganza, he would have attained his majority next month. We gather from European reports that a decree was' lately issued applying to political offences, the proceedure' governing Arrarchisl crimes and making them subject to special jurisdiction. This, apparently, was the cause for some of the Judges resigning. In consequence of the crisis in the wine trade a decree .'was- issued suspending vine-planting for three years.- Arrd a decree was published for the reform of the Chamber of Peers. It is said that only 20 per cent of tiic population can read arrd write.

Now, Mr. Editor, we pass on ton more serious question effecting the whole Province.- In an editorial of a late date'you have exlribiu-d youi pro-Jap proclivities, and been criticised in a later issue by our esteemed neighbour, Holmes Pineo. You find favour in the London Times, and other papers of that kidney; subsidized capitalistic supp irters. Your1 whole argument seems to hang on the point, lhat England must live up to the 'spirit of her treaties. Mr. I.\\dilor, if you have rem I modern history, you will know that England has only beerr too rcaily to break every important international treaty where she has had to choose between a rise or fall, arrd the present situation looks like the latter, or at least to lose her first colony. Now, Mr. Editor, there are yourself aird some others, who are, arrd always were strong pro-Japs, more especially yourself, agairrst, probably, 95 Per cent of the people here. We have not forgotten that the majority does not rule, -with 3-011, , when you saw fit, in your wisdom, to persist in circulating a petition asking for the introduction of Japanese, at a time wlrerr the feeling -berewas at fever heat'over that ver3\" same question. Mr. Editor, we cannot subsidize your paper; iro doirbt Japanese sympathizers will; nor cio we warrt to cut off your livelihood,.but the producer, arrd the'aiiti-Japanese, which means all but Iwo or three large operators irr the Camp, (some equally as large operators have refused to employ them) take exception to your paper advocating Orientals lor menial labour: tuere.. is rrot any- thing too mean for a white man to do, providing that it is honest, and, Hi at he receives full value, for his work. - , Mr. Editor, you certainly have the cheek of \" Thei- vjphynx \" to hold as you do so strong agairrst the concensus of opinion, so strong 'amongst the majority of this Province. Tlie producer must be strictlj- proiected, if we are to prosper as a while prpubrce, whether England in her treat}' rights is correc!, or, has made a mistake. We, ourselves, have felt the ill effects of it here; blazing trails, to develop lhe natural resources of the country, and penetrating the un- kuown, only lo he replaced : by f a nou-assiniilaiive p'joplc who can live and pro-ipir, Inflow our stany- irrg point.
