 The Standard. MAEKDALE APRIL. 24. 1884. MEIf £L.EcT10]Â¥ IN OLEZVELG A special meeting of Glenelg coua- oil was held on Tuesday last, when the resignation of F. MacEae, Esq., was accepted and a writ issued for a new election to fill the vacancy. The nomiuaiion will be held on Monday, the 5th of May, at the town hall, and polling on 12th. Mr. Thos. Davis will doubtless be a candidate for the office. It is also reported that J. A. McMillan, Deputy-Eeeve, will resign in order to be a candidate for the vacant chair. C. W. Eutledge is also spoken of as a probable candidate. We hope, however, that Mr. Davis will have the election by acclamation, and thus save the township the ex- pense of an election. Notice. â€" We wish it distinctly understood that we do not hold ourselves responsib'e for the opinions expressed by our correspondents. To the Editor of the Standard. Dear Sir, â€" To prohibit the manu- facture, importation and sale of spirituous liquors, would bring peace, contentment and prosperity to thous- ands of homes. To obtain so desirable and end should outweigh all cousider- ations as to the benefit that accrues to the few who enjoy the emoluments connected with the liquor busiuess. Much more should the benefit to the many obviate any loss to the revenue, arising from duties on spirits. These two points, however, the interests of the dealer, and the revenue derived from the business demand attention. (1) The tra^c haa been so thorough- ly rooted in our country as to become part of its social and political life. Those in the trade wilJ therefore meet with such an amount of sympathy, (if their business is interfered with) as has rever been extended to the victims of intemperance. Prohibition would throw the manufacturer out ol employ- ment. Very much of his prope'-ty, such as breweries, distilleries, kilns and apparatus, would become value- less. Thus to reduce him to poverty all at once would be a hardship and, under the circumstances, a wrong, be- cause he entered the business on the understanding that the public faith was pledged to his protection. He had in his favor acts of parliament, pohce regulations, by-laws, and other restrictions, as well as the customs aad usages of society from time im- memorial. To destroy at one blow his employment, income, and value of property, would seem unfair and unjustifiable. But his interests are of less consequence tiian those of multi- tudes to whom his business is a great injury. Here arises a difiiculty the greater number should be benefitted, but not at the expense of the intavesta of a few priyate persons. How is the difficulty t'j "be fairly met? One method at least presents itself, viz., on the one hand to prohibit the manu- facture and sale of liquors and, on the other hand, to compensate the manufacturer and dealer for the actual loss sustained through such prohibition. England paid £20,000,- 000 to liberate the slaves within her dominions Canada should be willing to pay §20,000,000, or at least an adequate sum to liberate those who are the slaves of the intoxicating cup. (2) The revenue derived from liquors is a loss, not a gain to the country. The effects of the traffic in causing crimes and disorders cost more money tiian all the revenue it yields. The correctness of this opinion may bo questioned ou the ground that tliere are not sufficient data from which to prove it no yeiv coiisiucrable part of the CDuntiy has jet tried prohibition, aui therefore its effect in lessening' crime is not fully established. But even granting that the revenue should fill short, the deficiency would cheer- fully be provided for otherwise. It is significant that the Finance Minister Rta,ted in his place in parliament the other day that any loss of revenue Irom the liquor ti-attic conid easily be met without imposing any additional tax on the people. The fact is that tbe liquor dealers liave had matters their owu way for a lAng time it is bat fair that others Hhould DOW have their turn.

To Editor Standard Deab Sib,â€" New Westminter is situated on the Fraser Eiver, en rising ground, has a fine appearance when viewed from the river coming in on the steamer. I'he steamers (mail) piy be- tween here and Victoria twice a week in winter, and three times a week in summer, making connections with the Northern Pacific and also Central Pacific via. San Francisco. The popu- lation is about 4000, consisting of al- most every class of people. The whites however predominating. It is estimated that there are at present in the city 2000 Chinese, Indian s(Siwash) are also quite numerous, also Half- breeds. This city diflfars from the Eastern cities greatly in one respect, substantiality. The buildings are mostly ol a very poor class (frame), very few of those fine solid brick or stone structures you have out east, although there seems to be a favorable outlook for an improvement in the future, buildings this summer will ba mostly brick. Brick laid down here costs $16 a thousand. The priucipaJ industries are the fisheries and lumber- ing. The fisheries giving employ ment to a great many men. Canning salmon is quite an extensive business here, and here I will mention a fact You can buy our salmon (cauned)Earit cheaper than we can here when it is manufactured. The reason I am not prepared to produce. The greater part of our lumber is fir and cedav. I have not seen a pine board in this coast. Fir and coal are used as fuel. The chief amusements of the people are balls, parties, roller skating, theatrical performances, gymnrtsium, driving for pleasure, being a remote future con- sideration, as the state of the roads will not admit of it at present. Port Moody, the supposed terminus of the Canada Pacific is now the topic of the day. Speculation in land the one great theme and indeed it is wonder- ful how the value of land has advanced, as an example, lots in good locality, could and were bought when I came here, Nov., 1883, for $500 and $600 (town lots 1 mean) can now be sold for $2000, and owners not at all anxious to sell. A piece of land, one mile from Port Moody, consisting of 70 acres, was soM for $30,000. The weather here, Maich and April, is simply grand. I think I am safe when I say the thermometer has not been down to the freezing point sirce Ist March. I receiye the Standard very regular- ly, and am pleased to observe a steady improvement in your columns of news. Wishing you every success, I remain yours, Gus. Personals. last Dr. week. Mr. week.
