The history of their Administration of the affairs of their own Province, apart altogether from federal considerations, has displayed uncommon recklessness and extravagance, and tie indebtedness to which they bad committed the good faith of British Columbia so largely in excess of its means of raising a revenue, that the whoie of Camada could not but be interested in bringing about some alteration . . It will be a Bad Government indeed upon whom shell next fall the responsibility of carrving on the affairs of British Columbis, if it does not turn out a very great improvement upon that which the Legisiature of the Province has just deciared a want of confidence.

What is wanted is bomesty and a sincere desire for the welfare of the Province and the Confed:â€" eration. Mr. Walken was altogether too important a personage for the position he filled. If he had been the Suitan of Turkey, or the Shah of Persia, he could not well have surrounded himself with more appearance of " pomp and circumâ€" stance." it rewains to be seen how those who are about to step into his shoes, and the shoes of his late colleagues, will deâ€" port themselves, and we should be doing injustice to our fellow countrymen, in the far west, if we did not express a hope and entertain a belief that the new men will be less disposed to agitate, and proâ€" REMOVED test, and create disturbances about mere quibbles, and more disposed to act as .. & A‘ : of Canada Church wWELLILNGTON sTREET w.: menny & Sons »TIMES" OFFIGE LEASE OBS i k V â€"Daly Street Presbyterian e cMip lo eansing Fowderâ€" McMillan I® NOW PER AaND PUBLISHEL i.

Among the papers read was one on " Secâ€" | ondary Subjects in Primary Schools,"‘ and another on the " Centre System of Trainâ€" ing Pupil Teachers." In regard to the latter subject, it/was resolved to memoâ€" | rialize the Education Department to | make an alteration in the Code, in order ‘ to facilitate the introduction of the sysâ€" | tom, at least as an ekperiment.

Bar is situated between Charleston and SNavanmab, on the second degree of north latitude, three minutes and 46 sgeconds ; langtitude 89 degrees, 30 minutes and 46 seconds. There are three entrances to the harbour ; one 17 feet in depth and a little over 300 yards in w% another 19 feet in depth and about 1 yards in width, and a third 20 feet in depth and about 300 yards wide. _ Lo oald d There are two tributaries to the hubtr, Broad river, having a wide channel and an average depth of five fathoms for nearly twentyâ€"seven miles, and Beaufort river, with .m‘h of seventeen feet to within three miles of Beaufort and thence about fourteen. 5 For three or four years the settlement of Port Royal, twelve miles hack from the harbour, has been regarded as the " Now City of the South," in consequence ofiu! deâ€"ignation as the eastern terminus of the shortest line of railway to be constructed from the Mississippi river to the Atlantic oceamn, This railroad scheme has in view the union of the North Atlantis and North Pacitic oceans, San Diego, Cal. being the western terminus of the line.. From Port Royal the railway is to extend through the heart of the cotton Statesâ€" Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi;, through thau;?hug{pqw of lannn&lc:fi; an: ew Mexico, crossing Colorado near its janction with the Gulf THE of California, and striking the Pacific magnificent harbour. . As the Gulf stream rums immediately .n front of the mouth of the harbour, vessels will be quite free from the intense cold and the boisterous weather of the northern stations, Much work is now oo prepit meitet of a Spocee Seiiing present, i a speci ildi here, to to pital purposes, and the construction of buildings will be advanced as speedily as the appropriz FrRost Proor Boorkâ€"A fow pairs still left at The Dominion Shoe Store, corner Sparks and O‘Connor streets.

What does the plurase mean,! What breadth, depth and intengity of human want, endurance and suffering are compassed by its expressive brevity ? ‘ ‘The problem is not an aistraction, but | the answer calis lor a knowledge of facts | extending through every artery of the great structure of social, domestic and | business life.. What makes the beggar a | criminal? â€" Hard times! What makes | the mechanic and the artizsan beggars? | Hard times | And so on through every | grade of profession and every rank of ‘ life, this irresistible spectre stalks with | unstayed stride;enclosing victims on the right band and on the left, with a grip far more deadly than the ioe god‘s frosen bands. To trace the hard times to their legitimate cause or causes, would be a task still harder to accomplish One thinker believes that over production in nearly all branches of industry has glutted . the markets, which, prior to the panic of 1873 seemed capable of absorbing the ever increasing supply from shuttle, loom and forge, in the accomplishment of innumerable enterprises of gigantic dimenâ€" sions, which, since that time, have entirely collapsed. This, undoubtedly, is a most reasonable view to take of the matter, although many others attribute all our troubles to the extravagant and improviâ€" dent lives led by rich and poor during the palmy days succeeding the war.
