MANY LIVES LOST. y

The Frazer River in British Columbia a
Raging Torrent.
! VANCOUVER, B. c.. May 31.-The
Fraser river has become raging tor
rent and is dealing destruction and
death at every point. The surrounding
valleys have been submerged, houses
and outbuildings of ranchers have been
|awept away, and where but few days
ago waving fields of growing grain met
the eye, is now but a waste of water.
Whole herds of cattle and focks of
Sleeps have been drowned in the rush
ing flood.
| Whole villages on the banks of the
stream are floating. So far eight human
lives are known to have Eeen lost. At
Langley little boy fell from the porch
Of the Langley hotel and was swept
away by the flood. The hotel was after
wards washed from it's foundations.
The entire town is flooded. The whole
of Langley prairie is now under water,
and the island on which is the Indian
reservation is entirely under wat ter.
-Four Indians who were trying to tow
some cattle from ridge on the island
behind their canoes to the mainland,
were capsized and three of them
drowned. The dead bodies of three
men and a little girl were found on
Hatztic prairie
Entangled in Some Floating Trees.
Many other bodies are reported as
having been seen in the stream in other
localities, but so terrible is the current
that all attempts at rescue were futile.
AT Morris, steamers are sailing right
across where there were beautiful
farms. Farmers, fearing to remain
longer, are taking passage on steamers,
and bringing their families here. The
towns of Chillawack, Harrison and
Centerville, have been almost entirely
Inundated, and it has been with diff
culty that the inhabitants have escaped
with their lives. The damage done to
the Canadian Pacific track is very
serious all along the line. At Hatzlic
the dyking has entirely given way and
500 yards Of road have been washed out.
At Nicomen the
Whole Town Is Under Water.
Traffic over the railroad is entirely
stopped, no train having arrived from
the east since May 20. No mails have
been received or dispatched. At HAITI.
tic Prairie and Griffin Lake, 500 mon
with six work trains are busily engaged
endeavoring to repair the track. At
places it is proposed to throw hawsers
across the chasms, and in this way
transfer the mails to the western side
of the breaks. Despairing of reaching
their destination within a reasona BILE
time, hundreds of passengers on the
Canadian Pacific are being taken east.
Every farmer and rancher at Hatztic
Prairie is ruined. The latest report says
the Matzqui dyke has caved in, and the
country is all flooded. Reports from
beyond Mission City cannot be obtained
as the wires are down.. The Mission
railroad bridge, one of the largest on
the road, is expected to go every hour.
The Salmon arm bridge collapsed Tues
day afternoon. At Yale the river is
rising two inches an hour.

Long, and Painted Like Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than G, 200
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.

Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engrayings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free

Mr.. Wilson Did His Part Well.
Chicago Herald.

One of the victims of tariff reform
weakness and procrastination is Mr..
Wilson, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee. Mr.. Wilson him
self has not been weak, nor can he
be blamed for the fact that the new
tariff was not enacted until it was
too late for people to learn from ex-
perience that it is great deal bet
ter for them than the Mckinley law.
He did bis part well in framing the
new law and in promoting its early
passage. His defeat is misfor-
tune not only TO his district but to
the country. He is the victim of
weakness in another quarter and of
pfocrastination for which others are
to blame.

BONDS FOR $50, 900, 900.
Issue of that Amount Necessa-
nv as a Result OF Extravagant Re
publican Legislation.

Secretary Carlisle has published
bids for buying more government
bonds. This comes as a result of
the wasteful Harrison administra-
ton.
When President Cleveland retired
on the 4th of March, 1889, he left a
surplus in the Treasury of sos, 000,-
900 exclusive of the subsidiary coin
and deposits to the credit of pay
masters for the payment of ..matured
obligations against the government.
In addition to this 500, 100000 there
was in the Treasury the bank note
redemption fund of $55, 100000 held
for the redemption Of national bank
notes.
The last Republican Congress that
served during the first two years of
President Harrison term not only
dissipated the sos, 100000 of sur
plus. but it covered into the Treas
ury the S55, 100000 of trust fund for
the redemption of bank notes and
expended that also. 1t also passed
bills increasing the permanent ex
penditures of the government over
$60,000,000 a year, and enacted a
new tariff law that increased the
cost of the revenues of the Treasury.
The result was that ON the day
that President Harrison retired from
office be bad expended the $4,000.
600 of surplus, and could make a
balance appear in the Treasury on
ly by classifying the accounts and
claiming as assets the deposits to
the credit of paymasters and the
subsidiary coin which could not be
used for the payment of dollar of
public debt. Thus President Harri-
son retired after having expended
1920, 100000 of surplus. increased
the permanent expenses over 500,
600, 900 a year, and reduced the rev
enue while increasing the taxes up
on the people.
When Cleveland came into power
in 1898 he found a bankrupt treas
ury, reduced revenues from the Me
Kinley tariff, and largely increased
expenditures which he was compel
ed to meet In addition to these
misfortunes, financial disturbance
came from the disastrous silver poll
icy of the Harrison administration,
and business and industrial depres-
sion prevailed not only throughout
our entire land but throughout the
whole world. Tariff revenues were
diminished while the expendi-
lures created by the Harrison ad
ministration remained and must be
met out of the Treasury. Thus with
out having created a single dollar OF
additional expenditure under his own
administration, Mr.. Cleveland has
been compelled to meet largely in.
creased expenses with largely re
duced revenues.
The new tariff bill will doubtless
produce ample reuenue when it shall
be fairly under way, but until then
the government credit must be main
tanned, and it can be done only by
resort to loans. This method has
been adopted by the President, and
it is manly assurance to the coun
try and to the world that the credit
of the nation, so vital to the success
of all enterprises, will be scrupulous
ly maintained during the entire tern
of the present administration.
To issue bonds was decision oil
necessity. Bonds for $50, 10000
are to be issued.

"The Democratic Party is Dead. !.

10 the EDITOR OF the NEW DOMINION.
Yes, almost every little headed
Republican you meet now, again,
opens his mouth aud bowls at you,
your party is dead" Yes-"As
dead rs a Herring" "As dead as a
board" Poor fools, how often have
they said that of the great, and well
nigh immortal Democratic party
About every two years for the last
30 years, or more, have they repeat
ed this silly speech of the Democrat
ic party; and yet st each succeeding
state or federal election has that par
ty had this earth at election time, with
more life than ever before and bid
proud defiance to its enemies. And
so it is likely it will ever be-
The Democratic party die? no,
never while liberty, or freedom live
on this earth. 1t has stood the as
saults of giants-of the federal par
ty, of the old Wing party and of the
know nothing party, and of all other
parties and isms that have attempt
ed to assault it, or cross its path;
and can it now be expected to shy
or yield to generation of very small
men or mice?
Indeed that hackneyed express
sion has ceased to be laughable, but
is looked upon by sensible people as
pitiable That party is planted on
principles, that cannot die or be eras
ed while right and liberty last-and
this nectarine is the God given food
Democrats feed upon.
The truth is, that these little head
men, if they know anything, know
that the party they now belong to is
but the tag of so many parties that
have existed since the days of Alex
ander Hamilton; that it bids defiance
to any one to attempt to write its
genealogy; and because this is true
of their party, their eight hundred
men seem to think that the Demo
cratic windpipe can be as easily sew
cred as theirs. But they forget that
the one is built on the solid rock bed
of principle, while the other has al
ways based its claim to recognition
ca the ever ehangeable plea of ex.
pediencv, and opposition to Demo.

THE LAW STILL IN FORCE.
Persons Desiring to Marry Must Have
A License in PENNSYLVANIA.

A License in Pennsylvania
Attorney General Hensel, of Penn
sylvania, having been applied to by
the auditor general, at the sugges-
tion of some of the clerks of orphans
courts in the state, for an official
opinion as to whether or not there is
any marriage license law in force, in
view of the contention that the act
of 1898 on this subject repeats the
marriage license act of 1885, or sus-
ponds it until October l, 1895, sent
an answer to Auditor General Gregg
to-day.
The attorney general says, he does
not hesitate to express his individual
and unofficial opinion that the claim
that the act of 1885 is repealed, sus-
pended or abrogated is unsound. it
holds that it was the intention of the
act of 1898 simply to amend the act
of 1885. By the terms of the act OF
1898 its enlarged provisions do not
become effective until October |,
1895.
In the meantime, it is the opinion
of Mr.. Hensel the act of June %,
1885, requiring marriage licenses
and imposing penalty for the sol
emnization or witnessing of MARI
ages without such licenses, is in full
force and operation. Until October
l, 1895, the marriage license law re-
mains as it was before the act Of
May l, 1898, was approved
