The City of Vancouver, situated
at the Pacific end of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, is in ashes. Not
half dozen houses remain out of

large loss of life. Ten bodies have
thus far been recovered, and a

Canadian Pacific lots were famed
to such an extent as to Gil the ter.

any idea of danger.
Shortly after 10 o'clock, Z. NJ,
several persons began to consider
the situation threatening, but the
smoke was SO dense that they
found it impossible to direct their
steps to the exact location of its
source.
Soon a stable near the Colonial
Hotel was seen to be on fire. The
alarm was given, but so skeptical
were people that they paid no at.

organization in the District, are

Any member of the Committee
who could attend this meeting,
a merely formal one, and did not,
is censurable. But we presume
all absentees had good reasons
for non attendance; or were
simply indulglng that apathy in.
cident in the early stages of ev.
cry election. This we will, as
heretofore, endeavor to remove
in time for action. As TO Mr..
Catchings, The Executive Commit.
tee did not assemble in his or 9th.

vention is his day of deliverance

Tn. PoHL, Secretary

We trust that the members Of
the Executive Committee in the
various beats will need no urging
TO discharge the duty to which
they are called. There are two
causes which are calculated to in.
dnce apathy upon this occasion.
First there is no organized oppo.
sition TO the District Democracy.
Second, there is no opposition in
the party to Mr.. Catching's re.
nomination.
While 1t would be In line with
all the interests of the district TO
have this condition continued
throughout the campaign; the
apathy to which we have referred
as likely to attend upon it, is to be
guarded against. Apathy and dis.
sension within our party are our
only political dangers. The one
is to be avoided by being true to
ourselves; the other by beng true
to our trusts. If we observe and
are faithful TO these truths, we
may defy enemies within and with.
out the party.

that We may suffer still more III

10 the uncertain aud migratory
tendencies Of our labOring class,
particularly in the river counties
Of the Delta. Ii is within my
knowledge that since the war the
population of these counties has
been more than doubled by impOr-
taiiOns and immigration, and still II
is always waning. Every eSpedient
has been tried aud great material
advantages have been offered TO
render it permanent and content
ed without sueeess-leaving the
impression, as your correspondent
suggests, that the root of this trou-
BILE is political. aud that It's surest
cure is that sense ofseeurity which
would only be ielt by the repre-
sentation of the District in Con-
gress by one Of its own race. The
candidate alluded to, the Hon. B.
X. Bruce, from his political ante
eedents and eOnciliatory course
heretofore, would produce here
desirable results, and secure the
harmony ofinterest between labor
aud employer, which has now be-
come a necessity beyond all pOlit
zeal preferences.
Yours truly,

END OF THE BLIZZARD.

We have been careful since the
cold set in to give the impressions
of well-informed parties as to the
damage done as we'll as our own,
and IL now seems probable that
these will be borne ont to the letter.
The thaw has now set in, and the
blizzard is rapidly retreating north
ward before the fire of King Sol.
Within twenty-four hours we should
make acquaintance again with the
balmy breezes and warm sunshine
which in every other part of the
world Z associated only with our
ides. q spring. Here in Florida
We will only resume our midwinter
excursions and outdoor pursuits as
usual. - t1J.- 3 #ony
And even now we may feel salts
fed that the extreme cold has not
ruined rs, and given less canse for
the extreme panic which siezed up
on some that was at first supposed.
Growing nursery stock may be kill
ed, and all trees of the citrus fam
lily are more or less injured,
but we believe in no case have
bearing groves been killed. The
fruit has been destroyed, but our
loss is as nothing to the damage in
hicted on, other interests throughout
sbe country. If such calamities
overtake rs only once in fifty years,
surely we should consider ourselves
highly favored and express graft
tude instead of despondeucy.
As yet we have heard of no de-
spairing or weak brother among US.
eve will save what we can and be-
g,n again, Unnecessary" is the de
cision of one aud all. For some
days it may be impossible to ascer-
tain with any certainty the sum to-
tai of our losses, but we shall an1-
iousIy watch the weather, and as
the thaw is an accomplished fact
We shall send out a careful observer
with view to answering some ques-
tions which have heretofore sorely
puzzled the most thoughtful grow
ers. Is a spot cold or warm accord
ing to location a. to water and for
osts, or is it's endurance of cold ex-
planned generally by the condition
of the tree? What is the effect of
. cold wave on the insects and dis
eases of the orange tree? Does late
cultivation increase the danger of a
tree in cold weather? What has been
the effect of the freeze on our early
vegetables? In answering these
questions we ask the assistance of
our friends and assure them that an
interchange of opinions will be of
great value to themselves as we'll as
to others. If the trees in south
Florida were still growing when
struck by the cold it is probable
that they have suffered moro than
on the st. Johns. We will wait
anxiously to receive estimates of the
loss on Indian river to pineapples,
cocoanuts and vegetables rs we'll as
to the orange groves.
