LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Temperance in King’s County. Sir,—The general diffusion of temperance sentiment has been marked by the organiza- tion of societiesfhaving °for their avowed ob- ject the promotivn of the temperance cause, and the suppression of the rum traffic. How far their influence has been exerted, or to what extent their efforts have been successful in this community, is nut hard to determine, if we may judge by the almost unprecedented sale of intoxicating liquor, the open and _per- ststent violation ot the Scott Act, and the utter indifference with which the triumph of the rum interest is viewed by the avowed sup- | 0 ters of the temperance cause, In passing, it may be interesting to review the progress of temperance effected here in the past. It isa well-known fact that when the Scott Act came first into operation the fear of the law alone closed many of the illicit grogyeries, and had it been fearlessly and energetically enforced, the result, long ere now, would have been the total annibilatioa of the tiaifig. isut the laxity of the Govern- ment prosecutors, the apathy of the people, and the sympathy which even in ‘‘ temper- ance ” cirgies was entertained for some of the most notorious law breakers, was far [rom accomplishing the expected result. Seon it was found that the violation of the law was attended with no imminent danger, the trans- gressious became more general, the sale of in- toxicating liquor more open, till to-day the tratiic is carried on without Jet or restraint, and the law is violated on every hand with impunity. A few there were, indeed, who at first attempted to uphold the supremacy of the law ; and though their efforts were marked with a measure of success, unaided as they were by the mass of the temperance people, and in rnany cases by those who had proffered their support, it was impossible to sustain the unequal confliét, the law virtually ceased to be entorced, till at the present time the sale of intoxicating liquors. of the vilest quality has reached a point without a parallel in the history of the Province. It is natural, under the circumstances, con- sidering the utter indifference with which the present condition of ‘affairs is viewed by those who profess to be supporters of the temperance’ cause, to enquire into the sincerity of their efforts, and the utility of the means they have adopted. By far the most prominent factor is the ‘* temperance society ” already reterred to, various branches of which are established. throughout the country. The prominence with which their proceedings have been chronicled in the press naturally lends them an aix of importance. As a single illustration of their practical working, a branch of the 1. O. G. T., styled Fidelity Lodge, may be in- stanced, in one report of which, it was grandiosely stated that “its ranks were evidently marching to victory.” The plan of operation, by which the cause of temper- ance is supposed te be promoted, consists in the organization of a local theatre board,where dramatic talent finds opportunity for display in tragic representations and amateur theatri- cals ; and these, with concerts and entertain- ments of various kinds, . constitute the support given to the temperance cause. In this practical manner has the Scott Act been euforeed, and such has been *‘ the march to victory !” It is too often the case that such organizations, destitute of the smallest par- ticie of real temperance sentiment, exist only so long as bolstered up by such means as al- ready stated, and when this support is with- drawn fall into a state of collapse; thus, too, has temperance agitation degenerated into the haads ot the notoriety seeker and the small would-be politician. But by far the most ridiculous instance of absurd and empty vaporing is furnished by a teéinperance society, a resolution of which was some time ago published, in favor of a warn- ing to all rumsellers to desist from selling spirituous liquors, ‘‘or continue the same at their peril.” Great indeed must have been the consternation of the illicit groggeries, their existence threatened by such a stupen- dous force; but we have not heard as yet that they closed down in consequence; nor have we heard of the crushing measures adopted against them by the organization, which pro- ceeds by firet advertising its intentions and then by failing to carry them into operation, bringing itself into justly deserved contempt. Rome once was saved by the cackling of geese, and though history repeats itself, it is doubt- ful whether great results ey ever again be produced by as noisy and insignificant a means. But there is yet another power in the land, the modus operandi of which is cer- tainly peculiar. This consists of monthly de- monstrations, where the assembled public are addressed on the subject of temperance, and measures are adopted for the instantaneous suppression of the odious traffic, The agitat- ors, after duly notifying the rumsellers as to their intentions, which are never carried out, exhausted by their spasmodic effort, sink back again into nothingness, till the occasion arrives for the next meeting. which is 4 re- hearsal of the previous one, and with like re- sults. It seems, however, if productive of no other good, to illustrate the truth of the old maxim, ‘‘ the rattle of the empty wagon is heard farther than the noise of the loaded one.” Meetings of this description have been held here frequently in the past, and weshave more in prospect. Yet they have accomplish- ed nothiug; not a single effort has been made to suppress the traffic; not an action has been brought against the offenders, one of whom has been violating the law for years without ever being molested. ‘* We have failed,” say those half-hearted advocates of temperance, for lack of evidence;” and this is the miserable apology for their inaction! Rather should they say ‘“‘ We have failed for lack of sincerity and honest endeavor.” Ocular evidence is certainly not wanting in the person of the drinkard, of which this community affords not a few examples. But another outcome of this state of affairs is the thriving trade now done in empty bottles, many thousands of which are shipped from this port. It would be impossible for us to estimate the number thus exported during the past year ; but possibly some of the ‘*temperance” supporters, who for years have been making large and profit- able shipments, would furnish an estimate, In passing, it would be interesting to learn what moral support has been given the drunk- ard by the Gospel Temperance Crusade? Cer- tainly none ; be is thought to be too degraded a creature to be reached by such effort. Or where now is the movement so extensively
whose efforts were to sweep away interest like a deluge? It has fizz'ed moment and gone out.

may be placed the present Inspector, w pockets two athens g dollors a HA for A 0 privilege of doing nothing, and who is either indifferent to the interests of the public or in sympathy with rum. As itis, nearly a year has passed since an action for violation of the Scott Act has been brought in this village, while throughout the whole County the traffic hos assumed proportions unknown in former years. The law is a dead letter—not so much from any defect in itself as from the laxity of the Inspector, who is either unwilling or un- able to perform his duty ; from the apathy of the people, or, worse still, the sentiment which tinds vent only in empty threats ; and lastly, from the evident sympathy that is felt for the evil dvers in many quarters where bet- ter might be expected, and of which an ex- ample was afforded at the last winter session of the Supreme Court, in the deplorable spec- tacle of a magistrate aiding and abetting a notorious law breaker. A vigorous and per- sistent application of the law isthe only remedy ; but a law unenforced is equal to no law, the truth of which is established by the state of aflairs in this community, the causes for which we have already shown.

The Skeena Indian Revolt.
FIVE HUNDRED ABLE-BODIED AND ARMED WARRIORS IN THE DISTRICT—-THE ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE—WAS THE INDIAN TOO HASTILY SHOT BY CONSTABLES /-—— DISPUTES WITH THE GOVERNMENT—THE PROGRESS OF THE EXPEDITION.
A correspondent at, Victoria, B. C., writes : Reporis received from Skeena as to the origin of the trouble vary somewhat as to details, but the following facts are authentic : Late in the fall of last year an Indian named Ketwinkwool Jim, belonging to a tribe near the forks of the Skeena river, just beiow Hazelton, shot and killed a medicine-mar, whom he accused of be- witching hisdying children. Shortly after- ward he went on a hunting expedition. In the meantime word of the trouble having reached this city, five special policemen were despatched to arrest the Indian. When the Indian agent and the policemen arrived at the forks of the Skeena the agent sent a letter advising Jim to come in and surren- der. When Jim arrived at the village, which is called Ketwinkwool, the special policemen went armed to arrest him, and
Jim becoming frightened, bolted. As he
was running away he was shot in the back and killed by one of the constables. As
there is but little doubt that. he returned with the intention of surrendering. The Indians resent his death, or, as they term it, his murder, and it is reported they have confined the specials within the Hudson’s Bay Company’s fort at Hazelton, and have killed the company’s manager and one con- stable. It is said that the Indians number 500 able-bodied armed men, and that if thoroughly aroused they may prove very trcublesome.
There are, it appears, other causes of trouble besides the killing of Jim, The Skeena tribes are of the Tsimpshean nation of §Indians, who are all dissatisfied be- cause of the Dominion Government ignor- ing their territorial priority claim to their country. It is said they have been prompt- ed indirectly by the Methodist and Anglican missionaries, who are accused of ignoring civil authority. The Skeena river country is almost outside of depparmental influence.

A feature of the hot season in New York is ice cold buttermilk, served to the thirsty public from porcelain-lined jars in pream- bulating dairies. These wagons are to be found almost everywhere, and they drive profitable business. The fact that butter- milk sells for nearly half the price of milk may account toa large extent for its popu- larity.

At the wedding of a Mr. Lincoln L. Eyre, of Philadelphia, at Newport last week, the crowd was so great at the church door that Mr. Eyre could not get into the yard at- tached to the building, so he was com- pelied to climb the fence, along with a couple of the groomsmen. Had he failed as agymnast he would have been late at the wedding ceremonies,
The Behring’s Sea sealing troubles are, it is to be hoped, now ina fair way to & satisfactory settlement. The United States Government have apparently determined to stop the molestation of the sealers of other nations in their operations outside of generally’ recognized territorial water limits, and to submit to arbitration im the matter of the claims for damages made by owners of vessels heretofore seized.
