We are indebted to Mr. J. M. B. Smith, Provincial Auditor of British Columbia, for , copy of the beautifully printed holiday numberof the British Colowistwhich contains s large amount of information concerning our Western Provinoes. An aiticle on the ‘Progress of British Columbia” is,“so says the table of contents, by Mr. Smith, him- self. Once a popular Charlottetown boy, Mr. Smith has passed many years out west; and he is enthusiastic over the prospects of British Columbia. At the conclusion of the article referred to he says
‘‘Qur business” houses stand on a good firm basis, our manufactories, though limited, are thriving, our fishing and eeasber indus tries yielding fair returns, our coal stijl king f the whole coast, our gold mines, though not contributing as largeiy as in former years, still show handsomely in swelling the total of our annual proto With confi- dence we look forward in the near future to increased yield from our mineral resourbes, as more attention is now given to quartzs mining, which will eventually be the chief at- traction in the pursuit. It would not be too prophetic to say, that within another year substantial developments in our numerous vold and silver quartz lodes wil! establish the long supported shooey that British Columbia
will excel all former record in the oytput of bullion ivam her golden _ treasures. No country offers better inducement to ca ital in mining
enterprises than this province and the time will sirely come,-—and that not long, -when a knowledge of our latent riches will be demonstrat “d by golden bricks, and heralded to the World that this prophetie vision has forced itself upon the doubting minds of capitalists in substantial form and reality. — + - or

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mr. Norton Retires.
Six,—I wish to state to the citizens that business relations and business matters will not permit of my standing in the fight for which I was nominated. I thank my friends for their effurts in my behalf, and the hearty support assured me, but wish it distinctly understood that | am not a candidate for Civic honors at the coming election.

The Prodigal.
Sir,—In replyto Mr. Ewen Macdougall’s letter : I’m sorry he has placed himself in the position that he has. Before I am done with him, he will feel like expressing, ‘+Wouldthat I hadseen’myself as otherssaw me.” He says that ‘‘ Men have before now unwittingly broken the laws of the coun- try.” Does he mean to tell the public that he was unwittingly breaking the Jlaws when, for four years, he was dealing out that cursed hell fire ; was twice fined,“and no doubt would still have the cheek to persist in ‘‘ unwittingly " breaking the law, if it were not far fear of the cage / Further, at the self same time, Mr. Macdougall was in Her Majesty's service. Still he has the hardihoed to parade before the public the positions of trust he has held, and his good conduct. Was he faithful to Her Majesty and her laws during those four years! or why did he resign his position in her ser- vice? He talks of Christian virtues, and my strong unchristian desire to injure him. I have heard of Satan rebuking sin. Just think! A ramseller talking of Christian virtues! It is so ridiculous, | leave it with the public. At the close of his letter, he assumes the position of the prodigal. If he were sincere and had taken’the pledge, and made a bon fire of of his liquor and casks,

Who nominated this temperance man, Mr. Ewen Macdougall? Mr. P. C. Con- nolly moved, and Mr. Offer seconded the nomination. Mr. Chappelle had no show because he did not sell rum. This is-one of the new temperance candidates and his staff. We oughtto havea photograph of the group. P

“N. F. D”
Sik,—In your issue of yesterday there appeared an article signed ‘‘ N. F. D.”
The writer is evidently one who is gifted, if not with common sense, at least with a fair amount of private dislike towards Mr. Haviland. In the first sentence he says : ‘**T am glad to hear that an enterprising young merchant has been nominated to con- test the Mayoralty in this city.” Well, there is nothing to find fault with here. ‘*N. F. D.” has evidently a spark of good feeling to one individual at least. But, sir, it would leadfone to suppose that Char lottetown has, for the last year or two been governed by a Mayor with no enterprise nor qualification for his positien. Now, I would like to ask ‘“*N. F. D.” has Mr. Haviland proved himself in any way unde- serving of the support of the electors in the coming contest? I think net. He has the advantage of a good legal education. He has had long experience in_ public affairs, and is also a representative of one of the old families of this place -although this latter niay be perhaps ons of VS. FT. De reasons for wishing to have him removed, if I judge aright by the secend sentence of his letter. Ue further goes on to inform the public that Mr. Norton has an unex- ceptional character, and is highly esteemed, &c. [have nodoubt of it. As far as I know the young geutleman referred to, I have a very high opinion of his character and business enterprise. But would he fill the office of Mayor to any greater advan- tage than Mr. Haviland has done? Would he be able to attend both to his own business and also to the interests of the city in the manner in which he ought? I do not think so.
To the young men of Charlottetown I would also give a scrap of advice. Do not give your votes on any one side in an elec- tion merely for the sake of a change, es- pecially if, as on the present occasion, one of the Candidates has already fultilled his duties tothe satisfaction of everyone——ea- eept ** NGF. de
In the coming election, cast your vates for the man whom common sense would show you to be the best fitted at the pre- sent time for the oftice of Mayor of Char- lottetown — namely, the Hon. Thomas H. Haviland. And if, as Tue Examiner's editorial of yesterday puts it, in the course ot twenty-five years or so, Mr. Nortor again comes to the front asking for your suffrages, you can then judge for yourselves his right to them.
Yours, KC., S. D.

Ward One. civie honors
of Wa rd
Srr,— The candidates for are now known. As a One East, I must say that | am pleased to learn that Mr. Lemuel M. Poole has nominated, and I for one will vote for him in preference to Mr. Thomas Morris, for the following reasons :—
resident
ist. We have tried for some time to get one Councillor for ithe ward residing in the east- ern section, but failed.
2nd. The residents in the Western section are aware that we have not been fairly treat- ed, in fact we have, in the way of improve- ment been totally ignored,
3rd. Mr. Poole, besides being a resident of the eastern section of the ward, is alsoa property holder and an employer of labor, and what is our interest, in having a resident Ceuncillor, must also be his.
tth. If we are sincere in our wish for 4 Councillor residing in the eastern section we will yote for Mr. Poole. If wedo not vote for him let us farever after hold our peace.
If Mr. Poole were not a candidate, my vote would be recorded for Mr. Morris, but we are entitled to a resident (sectional) representative, hence my reason for choos- ing Mr: Poole. Let Mr. Morris and _ his friends see the necessity of this, and down East will, twelve months hence, reciprocate by voting for Mr. Morris.
VOTER.
Metals and Hardware,
There ia an improved feeling in this line. The trade generally recognizes, and we daresay importers welcome, the long ex- pected and now inevitable and partly actual advance in prices. No great difficulty appears to exist in effecting sales and the disposition amongst many buyers is to anticipate their wants for the immediate future of the firm condition of the market. Last year’s business in the principal cities, is regarded as fairly satisfactory, although the actual results have really not been arrived at in every instance. It cannot. be said that payments at the moment are any- thing better than the average, if so good, aad requests for renewals are not infre- quent, either in Quebec or Ontario,
To the Electors of Ward Four.
YENTLEMEN,—Having been nominated, at a U meeting held on the 10th inst., to contest the seat atthe Council Board made vacant by the retirement of Councillor McRae, I beg leave to say I have accepted the nomination so heartily tendered me, and would most respectfully solicit your support. Should I become your represen- tative, my best attention shall be given tg the interests of the Ward and the City generally.
The Canada Temperance Act” having been sustained by a voteof the citizens, its enforce- ment becomes a duty. I therefore pledge myself, if elected, to see that the temperance law is respected equally with all other lawsnow in force.
