AxCHURLIsH ATTACK.

The calibre of the churlish editor OF the
Victoria Colonist may be guaged from the
following emitted from his paper recently:
s. "The Skagwavans were not very COURT
eous In their reception of the Governor
General, No one expected them to be
even ,deeentIy civil. Thew are chiefly a
lot of people who got stranded on the Wav
to the gold fields. They do not represent
the people Of the United States, who are
ever courteous and considerable of visitors
of distinction"
Skagwavans hadly need defense from
such childish, II not indecent exhibition
of spleen as is here shown. However. 1t
might not be out of place to remark that If
1.-THE Colonist will take the pains to inter-
view Lord Mimic, he will ONLY refrain
from telling it what kind OF prevar' Gator
II Is in case he does not indulge in profane
language, =
e.. AS matter OF fact, Lord Mimic was met
rat the International boundary line by
4 United States Army officers and a detaeh-
ment of soldiers and leading Skagwav cit.
gems who escorted him to the city and did
% all In their power to assist him to pass the
short time between his arrival and the
sailing of the Quadra pleasurably. 1t Is
II not out of the way to say that the govern
or general gave eyerv evidence OF appre>
-. ciating the attention bestowed upon him
,s at the onlv American city he visited In the
North. He was certainly shown every
courtesy the people of Skagway were per>
:, .mitted to extend. ....... 81. ..,...r
The uncertainty as to the date OF the
,gOuadra's arrival and the short stay OF the
governor general made It impossible to do
. more than was done before he departed for
Dawson. He was In Skagwav only two
hours and was entertained BY leading cit
liens and army officers during that brief
time. ~. .. .a .-....es
As for the other silly remarks OF the
.'little" Canadian editor, it is only neces-
sary to say that he might have opportun-
ity to discover the character of SkagWay-
: ans n Ine DOMINION government SIfdH Ioi-
i low his advice as to the northern customs
regulations. They may have more influ-
ence in this United States than the
Coonist anticipates.
