INCONSISTENCY,

1t is a strange but true phenomenon that Il trO-
(pical climate to a certain degree seems to diminish
the energy and steadfastness of the Caucasian race.
People seem to forget more easily here than in
"a colder climate and consequently their opinions
are not rs firmly impressed as it might be wished,
Hence we can account partly for the many sud-
len changes of opinion in private and public life
here, and for the unpleasant view of a man chang
ing his opinion as often as his dress.
Now, if this is the case, and it cannot be denied
that it is so to a great extent, let us try to mend
this fault and endeavour to redress the consequen-
ces of our inconsistency as much as possible and
as soon as we become aware of it.
Nothing is more essential for progress than q
firm opinion regarding the different matters one
wishes to advance, in order to apply all energy in
realizing this object.
But if one changes his opinion every fortnight
or sooner, how far will he come!
We respect the opinion of every body, no matter
how different it may be from our own, but let 1t be
IN opinion, let it be the real conviction of the man
and not the superficial impression of peoples talk
nor a fancy, that has entered his mind and without
being sufficiently criticized by reason has been
elevated to the rank of All opinion.
A man without steadfastness is no man.
We were led to speak about this matter by the
remarks made by the End member for Christian
steds Country District, Mr.. Rosenstand, at the
Colonial Councils meeting on 29th of last month,
when he expressed his inability of seeing any in
consistency at Hl ia Cu6 pIOpOSdt U Tie IWO HUH
bers of the Council, viz Messrs. MCMILLAN and
Latimer, concerning the establishment of q Militia,
not because we think it of 80 much Importance to
prove tho inconsistency of those two members, nor
because we intend to lessen the Importance of the
assistance so kindly rendered by the honorable
member t. his two ellow-members but because
we think it necessary people should see. that in
consistency and versatility are not merely gram
NAUTICAL expressions, but really existing features
that ought to be done away with, at least in public
. ) life.
Inconsistency is too great an evil in every re-
spect, that we should not try everything to eradi-
cate it, as soon and as completely as possible.
Now the fact in this case is this:
On the 18th of January, the Bird discussion of
the ordinance relating te the military force in this
island took place in the Colonial Council.
On this occasion Mr.. MCMILLAN did not make
any remarks, that might possibly have led any
body to think, that he was opposed to the ordi-
nance, either in its principles or its details, and
Mr.. Latimer expressed it as his intention to vote
for the draft because he thought it a duty to him
self and to his constituents" (See Proceedings
of the Council in the avis of End of February.)
Both members voted for the draft
At the Councils meeting ON the Doth of January
a proposal was brought forward by these two mem
bers to appoint a committee in order to have a
militia formed, and consequently do away with the
military force.

1t would be untimely if we were now to enter
upon considerations like those brought forward
in the foregoing letter. We have no knowledge
of the plans that may be on foot in regard to
those matters nor have we any means of ascer-
tanning if there are any such plans at all. We
can, therefore, at present not enter upon those
matters, but We can merely place our columns
at the disposal of those having an opinion to ad-
vance or information to give in reference to
them To-day we beg leave to state some few
opinions that have from time to time been
brought before our notice, besides those con-
tanned in the proceeding communication.
Governor Billie has too many irons in the fire,
some must get burnt, while others are %insufici-
emily heated. That's the opinion of one portion
of the Community. Another portion say
there is nothing at all being done by Governor
Billie towards introducing effective retrench-
ments and a better system of taxation. Neither
of those two parties seem to be aware of the
urgency of the occasion and the immensely of
the charge with which Governor Billie is en-
trusted. The extent of the claims for reforms,
reasonable and unreasonable, can not be un-
known to those parties. Mr.. Billie has the
charge to carry such of them into execution as
may be consistent with the we'll considered and
permanent interests of the Islands, not only of
st. Croix but st. Thomas and ST. Johns also.
He has a certain time within which he should
accomplish the task, or at all events have laid
the foundation of a solid progressive reform.
It is not to be wondered at, then, that he has
had to commence with many branches at a time.
In each branch he has sought the advice and
guidance of parties supposed to possess thor
Ough knowledge ofthe respective branches. IF

the Administration expenses
which are certainly admitted to be one,
and not the least, of the necessary re-
trenchments, which must be made if the
Tax Payers are to benefit anything from the
visit of Governor Billie. To begin with
the beglnnlng-the Post of Vice-Governor,
an extravagant aud superfiuous outlay,
which could be entirely abolished for
with an active Governor at st. Thomas,
and daily or tri-weekly steam communica-
ton between the Islands, the affairs of the
Government in this Island could very east
Iy and properly be entrusted to the care of
a Secretary !. the Governor visiting US once
a month. Are we always to have 3 Police
Masters and 3 Police Assistants9 2 Gus
tom House Inspectors, 4 Controllers and
Asslstants7 A Bookkeeper and o Trea-
surer? Can't some changes be made by
which the f%earfully heavy charges could
be reduced? Surely the business of this
small Island of about %, 900 inhabitants
could be more economically conducted.
[ can well appreciate the difficulties with
which Governor Billie will have to contend
in attempting to make changes, which
will tend to abolish certain offices end to
reduce the salary of others for surrounded
as he is by officials whose interest it is to
maintain matters in StatH quo, he will sure
Iy be impressed by them with the idea that
it would be impossible to govern this small
state with q reduced staff. Of course this
is human nature, and with all due respect
for our officials, it would hardly be posi-
BILE to expect them to do otherwise, The
Governor must be assisted in making these
changes by the voice of the Public,
through the columns of your paper, Mr..
Editor, and you must also do your best to
assist us in carrying through our wishes.
Trusting that some ADLER pen than mine
will take hold of these matters, and that our
representatives i'll the Colonial Council
will truly represent the People, in max
ing our wants known on this subject,
| remain, Sir,
Yours faithfully,

told, sued us, and has paid money toward the

We assorted that he was Parkcr's partner ad-
mitied that he was not ouly his partner, but
that ho had had ''priyate' transactions with
him; that he drew on him for money, and
that his draft was protested, or that II was
"rccailcd." Upon this coutessiou'we sub
mitied that the scuate, whose otliGer this man
was and Is, should take some notice Of a
transaction so suspicious; that the time had
come to purge the party aud drive from Il
the mon who were unworthy to hold Office
and trust In its ranks. And hence this libel
suit with which we are threatened, and q
claim for damages 10 the amount Of twenty
thousand donars.
We are, As w said, prepared TO meet thli
suit snd abide the result. We do not intend
to abandon ourcfIorts toward reform every

While the country Is co ngratulating itself
upon the near attainment Of reform In all the
departments Of the Government; while the
people OF New York are rejoicing that the
rule of Tammany hall will not be projected
into the new year. while the people OF South
Carolina arehopefully looking forward TO the
speedy punishment Of the scoundrels who
have been robblng them and spending their
money In newspaper enterprises In distant
cities, the Neto York Tribune, seeing fayora-
Bile opportunity to advertise Itself and To aid
the Tribune club movement, assumes TO read
