WALLPAPER The Liheral-Oonnervattves of the Uttesland Riding did themselves honor in nominating the Hon. Charles Mackintosh. Only the highest sense of duty to the Province, and pirticnlarly the mining districts, induced Mr. Mackintosh to ac cept the nomination. No ordinary man would lie capable, after such a career as his, of entering the lists of Provincial politics, degraded as they have li*en liy tbe miserable personal jealousies and petty art iRcee of meaner men; hut the Hon. Charles Mackintosh is not an ordinary man. To Mr, Mackintosh, as lo every puhlic spirited man, it was obvious that a seriou* crisis in the affairs of British Coliiniliia eii.ts. The reins uf power have heen seised hy a political brigand. The one method hy which Hon. Joseph Martin ran retain power is by arraying the jealousy of class against clans, section against section, so that hy ruining the harmony of Ibe whole and arresting the progress of the Province, he may reign triumphant over the chaos he hns nettled. In Ihis design he has been alily seconded by the ineptitude of Ilia so-called opponents, so-called advisedly, liecause Ihere is hardly one of them not ready to sell Ins miserable soul, and give away the interests of the Province into the bargain, for a brief tenure of the sHeets of ofllcr, A uian is needed, it man who can doini* mile by intellectual superiority and force of will the Oiit.lous and Marlins and their like.

Thai man ia easily rerogiiiz- able in lhc Hon. Charles Mackintosh, and there is but our voice in the district calling him to tlte helm.—Trail Creek •'New..'' ■ s ' Not Sincere hi any Issue. Tliere wa<< one |siint that Premier Martin did not explain at his Nelson uieeting. that is, that he whn the solid tor of tiie Canadian Pacific Railway Company at the luxe that company iniiile tin* agreement, with the Ilritish Columbia Southern llailway Company uniler ilie terms of which Senator Cos ami ills iissiH'iales acquired the Crow's Nest conl lamia. He now claims that Cox ami hi. associates after spending dflllil.lKXl in developing mines on the Uml in i|iie.tioii, should not have obtained title tothe land. This is an admission that Joseph Martin, when acting ns a lawyer for private clients, was willing to bunco the people with whom bis clients did business. Premier Martin is reported an saying in his speech at Ymir that he would rather see J. Roderick Robertson elected iiiem ber of the Legislative Assembly for the Nelson riding than John Houston. That means. If it menu anything, that Premier Martin i« opposed to the Right Hour law for men working underground in mines. It is well-known, that when a member tif Mr.Semliii's Govern ment, Mr.Mnrtin was opposed to making the Bight-Hour law operative, and now he would rather seen well known repealerelected from Nelson luin a man who believes the Bight Hour law should no longer he made a political issue. This is a fair saui|ile of Premier Martin's much advertised sincerity for the interests of the men who work lor wages Mar tin ia not sincere in any Issue, not even Uoveminent ownership of railway*, for ho i* not in favor of building any railway, Hither hy thn Um eminent or by private capital, lunl does not begin or end nt Vancouver.— Nelson "Tribune," m*. Mr.Martln and tha Crow's that Coal Und*. Tlie Vancouver "News-Advertiser*' lately published the following from a correspondent relativa to Mr. Joseph Martin's connection -With tbe Crow's Nest coal landst-In the year WW, shortly after the Liberal* eame Into power at Ottawa, It was understood that a proposal to aid the construction of the Crow's Nest Pass Railway wai under, the consideration of the Dominion Government. A lawyer of Victor- la, one of the nott prominent banisters at the Provincial Bar, wai ih Spokane, Washington, at tbe time. This gentleman hud acted professionally tot Mr. D. C. Corbin, Uw promoter of the Nelson and Port Sbeppard Kailway and the line from Northport to Rossland. He mentioned lhe subject of the Crow's Neat Pass Railway to Mr. Corbin and asked him if he could carry out the undertaking if the Government gave a suhsidy and some arrangement could he made with tbe parties who had the charter fur the British Columbia Southern Railway, with its valuable land grant. The proposed railroad could be connected with Mr. Corhin's road and form a very valuable feeder for traffic. Mr. Cm hin thought favorably of. the suggestion but intimated that he had no connections or influences at Ottawa. Tlie lawyer recouuuended him to secure the services of a legal gentleman, whn happened to he In Spokane at tbe time, as one who was well acquainted with the Oovernnient and leading men among iti supporters in Parliament and wbo heing at that time rather "down on bis luck"—as the story goes —from having lost both hia seat in Parliament and bis nspectatloo of a place in the new cabinet, was looking around for some way to retrieve his fortunes. It In, perhaps, scaicely nee essarytosay that the individual referred tn was Mr. Joseph Mirtin. Through the introduction of the lawyer from Victoria, Mr. Martin was brought into contact with Mr. Corbin and made acquainted with the proposition. He agreed to the proposal that he should immediately proceed to Ottawa and dn his he-t tn secure the subsidy and charter fur Mr. Corbin. The latter accordingly provided him with transportation to Ottawa aa the flrst Step towards paring Mr. Martin for his services whieh, if they had a successful result, were to be further remunerated on a very acute. Mr. Martin departed for Ottawa. Weeks passed and ran into months hut no word reached Mr. Corbin from him, At last, tn the utter astonishment nf both Mr. Corbin and his Victoria lawyer, the news came that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company had secured the suhsidy for the road and that Mr. Martin was in tbat com. pany's employ. But this wai hot all. Mr. Martin has an excellent nose fnr any enterprise or speculation whirh promises satisfactory returns, ln connection with bis position ai a solicitor for the Canadian Pacific Railway, he was brought Into contact with Messrs. Cox and Jaffray and their associates in the conipany, whirh had heen organised to open up the great coal deposits in the Crow's Nest Past. Mr. Martin desired to secure an interest in the Coal Company, but bis wishes in this respect were not gratified, and from thnt disappointment may be dated the hostility which he has since displayed to the company and those connected with ik There is one other incident in connection with Mr. Martin and the grant of these lands which I noticed with some surprise and nnt a little amusement. During the debate in the recent session of tbe Provincial Legislature whirh arose out of Mr. Martin's bitter attack nn the Semlin Government for carrying out the terms of the Act granting these lands tothe British Colombia Southern Railway. Mr. Martin, in reply to a query from a private member as tn why he had not raised the question long liefore he did, said that the whole subject tras new to bim when he entered Mr. Semlin's Cabinet, and it took him some months to become familiar with it. I thought then of Mr. Corbin ; of those Interviews in Spokane and wondered if Mr. Martin had forgotten how he was provided With transportation to Ottawa and of the manner in which he had found the Canadian PaclHc inducements more irresistible than thaw of the injured Spokane railway man who had been the meani of putting him in the track which has landed him In tha Provincial Premiership. I venture tbe pro phecy that tha rich vein struck at that Spokane meeting will he still further exploited in the ampler opportunities which a membership in the Government will afford. But I have always been curious U> know what were the sensations Of that. Vtetmla attorney who wu thi iuaocMt cause ef mob an extraordinary dMounamt aa that of which I have related thi lnslda history.

Mr. James Wbetham has lieen selected by the convention of the Dewdney supporters of lln- Martin Government. to run in opposition to Mr, R. MiHnd , A press despatch from Victoria states tbat at a meeting of Government supporters held 24th inst, Premier Martin. Aid. Yates, Aid. Beck- with and Mr. J. G. Brown were nominated, This is considered a very weak ticket, Mr, John Keen, of Kaslo, I. reported lo have resigned hi. position as mining recordet, assessor and collector, and registrar of the County Court In order to run at the Provincial elections as a straight Conservative candidate iu tbe Slocan. The four representatives of Victoria City constituency in the recently- dissolved Provincial Legislature, Messrs. J, 11. Turner, H, D. Helmckeii, A. E. McPhillips and R. Hall, have been renominated fnr that constituency. Of these the last named is a Liberal and the others Conservatives. Mr. W. W. Mclnnes, M. P., for the Vancouver constituency (Vancouver Island) was interviewed at Winnipeg isst week. In answer to several queries, be .aid. "No, it is not true that I have resigned from the Federal House to support. Mr. Martin in Ihe Provincial elections. I dr not intend to re* sign my seat at present nor bave I any intention of entering Provincial politics." Mayor Goodeve, of Rossland, who with Ur. Bowes nnd Messrs. D. B* Bogle and Alex. Sharp lately visited the Boundary district in the interests of Hon. C. li. Mackintosh, upon his return to Rossland told the ''Record" "All four of us spoke at Greenwood, where we hnd a good meeting, which was entirely with us, although Mr, R, li. Kerr brought down an opposition crowd from Phoenix." Mr. John Houston, of Nelson has announced himself a candidate for tbe Nelson Riding of West Kootenay in the following nol ice i— At tbe request of my friend, and political supporters, I will lie a candidate at tbe ensuing election for member of the Legislative Assembly, subject to nomination hy a duly constituted convention of del* egates selected by electors opposed to the adoption nf party lines in Provincial politics, I do not believe tbat Joseph Mart in ii a representative Lilieral, any more than Charles Wilson is a representative Conservative, und both are self-appointed leaders of political factions, in Hon.C. N. Mackintosh and the B. A.C. The following excerpt from the published report of the general meeting of shareholder, iu the Biitish America Corporation, held in London a few weeks ago is of interest at this juncture : Mr. Campbell asked whether he was rightly informed that the directors had dispensed with the services of the Hon. C. H. Mackintosh, who hnd always been regarded as a man of verj' high quantities for the position which he held. Mr. Whitaker Wright: "We did nnt dispense with his services. He was not a salaried employee, but aditector, and he had so many interest* of his own which made such a large demand upon his time and attention that he could not Jo justice to himself and to us ; therefore, as au honourable man, he retired from the board. But he has still the interest of the corporation at heart, and is perhaps its belt friend in British Columbia." Had Nothing to do With It Even the Victoria "Times" makes •the mistake of crediting Mr. Smith Curtis with the "satisfactory settlement of tho labor troubles" in Southern Briiish Columbia. Does our contemporary not think it worth while to know what it is talking shout? Mr. Curtis had nothing to do with the settlement of the labor troubles iu the Slocan, where there are more uiiues than in all the rest of this region outside of it. H« had nothing to do with tbe settlement of the labor troubles in Nelson. Ymir, Aiusworth, and the whole of East Kootenay dropped Into line with Nelson and the Slocan. These settlements were effected by tbe miners and mine owners themselves, without the Intervention of any Government, or Minister, or Government Commissioner. Mr. Curtis bad something lo do with the settlement of a little trouble over contract work in one portion only of the constituency in which he hopes to be a candidate. That was all. However considerable tt may he regarded, it is very litlle in comparison with the settlement luada elsewhere, which affected many niinei mure aud whioh also showed tha way. -Nehou "Mluer," Published w.elly at Midway, I).

Perhaps the Hon. tbe Attorney- General will next. Friday inform rest* dents in and about Midway what he intends to do in the matter nf police protection throughout the district along the International boundary line from Midway for 20 or 30 miles westward, nnw that he is removing thc Provincial police from this town to the Greenwood municipality, The Vancouver "World" says: "Ex Governor Mackintosh should bo able to liuiki' a good light of it in the Koot enay*. His nomination by the Ross land Conservatives has tlio approval of the Conservatives throughout the Province. Mr. Mackintosh has ample experience as a political fighter," Evm the ii-lmisatiin by the chief organ of MiirtiniKiii thnt Mr. Muck intoshshould make n good fight is something to he thankful for. It is un acknnwledg ment that the "white shifted hoboes'' of liossland and many other good iin-1 true electors of thn riding, unlike the "World" itself, have not been led astray by tbe allurements ot witchery of Hon. Joseph Miirtin, or the vote catching policy of his Minister of Mines. Yes, Mr. Mackintosh will put lip it good light, one that will leave Hon. Smith Curtis "in the soup," Hon. Joseph Martin and his Minister of Mines, Hon. Smith Curtis, are announced as intending to address a public meeting at Midway next Saturday. Notwithstanding that the latter has, for the sake of the Greenwood Votes lie anticipates it will win him, done tliis town and the larger half of the Kettle Kiver Mining Division the injustice of removing from the town the office of the Mining Recorder nnd the Provincial police, he at least appreciates lhc fact that from 51) to 80 votes umy he polled here nnd so will put in an appearance and endeavor to influence some of them in his own favor. Possibly the Conservatives, who tints far hnve practically ignored this part of the riding, will now wske up to the fact that their opponents are lint going to take any chances nf similarly damaging their cause hereabouts. In the. opinion of the Victoiia "Colonist , many penple air afraid of Hon, Joseph Mai I iu for the same reason that ihey nre afraid of Ihe measles. It is not so much lhe disease itself as the quarantine, Hritish Columbia wili be put in liuaticiiil quarantine just as long us Mr, Mm I in is in I he premier ship. Herein lies one of Ihe strongest reasons why lbe electors of the Rossland riding shnuld do their utmost to defeat a Marlm candidate. Capi:al is easily- scared away, as Ihe Boundary country will know to its hitler cost should Martinism prevail in Ibis Province iu distinct contrast to tbe distrust capitalists have in Mr, Martin stands out their confidence iu Mr. Mackintosh, than whom no single individual bus intiuenced the investment ot more money in mining enterprises of the riding. Thc mural is ob- viiiuh—support Mackintosh. The Lilieral Association of Greenwood exhibited a very narrow und petty spirit when last week it struck oft' its membership roll the names of Messrs. G, R. Naden, Duncan Ross and A. M. Whiteside. Such n course reflects not upon the three prominent and respected citizens of Greenwood who have tlie courage of their anti- Miirlin opinions, but upon thc organ isiition which, falling its inability to coerce them into falling into the line it has seen lit to adopt, tries to discredit them in tlie eyes of tlie party they bave been associated with. This aclion is a singular contradiction of the principles or feelings of liberalism, wliieh word is authorati vely (Mined as "freedom from narrowness or bigotry, especially in matters of religion or politics," Petty acts of injustice always (I ■feat their own ends, and this one will assuredly recoil upon those who were so blinded by prejudice ii" to perpeli ate it. An earnest effort is being made to bring about the immediate opening to white settlement nf the norlliei n half of ti.e Colville Indian Reservation, Washington,imte.-ul of deferring action until next October. There does not appear to lie any good reason fnr the delay the law, as it now stands, requires. On the contrary excellent reasons are given against such delay Tn throw land open for settlement only a few weeks liefore the time when winter will set in is not good policy. Better fnr throw it open early in thc summer and so give intending settlers time to establish homes and make other provision for their necessities before the winter comes upon them. Of course nothing this Province can; do or suy wiil expedite matters but it is permitted to us to wish success to our neighbors across the lixie in .their endenvoi b to hasten the settlement of thin extensive Area.of land capable of supporting a' large population. hnve outlined a scheme liy means of which a Kettle River Valley railway, connecting at the boundary line witb au American road', thereby providing, competition with the Canadian Pacific road, isto be secured. The Vancouver "Province" makes the following comment upon the proposition: 'Both Mr. Onrtis and Mr, Martin musl be well aware lhat international railway traffic can only be carried on under a Dominion charter, and that there is no chance of evading the law on this subject by any such scheme as that outlined. Clearly they are intent, on befooling, the people of the Bound ary district. In Mr, Martin's case this is nnt at nil surprising, hut the public would huve expected belter things of Mr. Curtis." The sequel to the negotiations to establish an ore sampler at or near Green wood shows that'altogether too much importance was attached to tlie overtures of men who had so little confidence in the profit producing capabilities of the enterprise they pro lessed themselves anxious to launch in thediitrlct that they wire nut prepared to run it on its own merits. They would not even try it with tho aid of a liberal bonus. As the Greenwood "Miner" observes : "The City council's offiir of50 cents per ton for the first 10,000 tons of ore crushed was very lilieral ; and tlie action of the company proves conclusively thut they were out ,vith the 'big init' for the cash, and had not the necessary tfiian. o'al backing nor the inclination to carry on such an enterprise," it has thus lieen demonstrated once more that though bonus-hunters may lie plausible enough there is hut one sensible wny to deal with them and that is to see to it that nothing he allowed to go but a straight nnd reasonable husiness proposition the lu-iieHt from which will lie mutual. There is much enterprise and public spirit to lie found in Greenwood, but with it is associated a common-sense caution that guards against giving something for nothing. . TheToronto "World" Seems to lie very unfortunate in lis sources of information relating to this district. The mining news it publishes fiom Boundary Creek is frequently inflated and unreliable; its statements a fow weeks ago respecting the district and the labor troubles were simply untrue. Now it is serving up fake pnlitic.il items, evidently supplied by its Vancouver namesake. For a sample we quote the following which appeared in its issue of Monday, 23rd inst. ''Advices from the upper country tbis morning show unmistakably that the iide k turning strongly in favor of tlie Government. Greenwood gave Smith Curtis a magnificent reception lust night at ex-Governor Mackintosh's meeting, the Minister of Mines heing the only man the audience wanted to hear. His references to a Government-owned railway from Boundary l.o the coast were hailed with tumultuous cheering." This, no doubt, makes nice reading for Mr. Martin's Ontario friends, if he have any, but Ihere is just this little qualification lo add, viz, that Mr. Smith Curtis was neither at the meeting in question not- even in Ihe Boundary country at the time it waa held. As lo Ihe "tumultuous cheering"—well certain press correspondents in Vancouver have lung been km wu to possess a very vivid imagination, hentfe the designation "Vancouver liar" which sopersisten t- ly stuck for along while, A Bait to Catch Voters. The plan by which the Rapid Transit Company of Grand Forks proposes to overcome the effect of the refusal of the railway committee of the House of Commons to report favorably upon the Kettle River Railway hill is interesting, hut there may he a snag in the way. It can hardly he possible that the British Columbia Government has power by oider-in-coiincil to authorize a company to make a rail connection with a line in a foreign country, when the Legislature could not pass an act to that effect. Of the good faith of the promoters of the project we have no doubt, hut in the bona fides of the Provincial Government we may he al lowed to express lock of faith. The election is not very far away, and if Mr. Smith Curtis can have a prospective railway hi opposition to the C. P. R. as a bait to the voters of Rossland riding, he will no doubt he stronger than he otherwise would lie. We take leave to doubt If the Government of this Province can exercise powers under the Tramway Act,which the courts have decided are vested only in the Federal Parliament,— Victoria "Colonist." messiB.

The British Columbia Oovernnient has been repeatedly adyised that the Imperial authorities strongly condemn discrimination In Canada against the Japanese, but notwithstanding this the British Columbia Oovernrnent bas been and still is excluding Japanese, During the session of the British Columbia Legislature of 1800 sonic fourteen bills of this eharaeter were passed. They prevented the employment of Japanese labor. The Minister of Justice asked British Columbia to consider nil amendment of them.

Once n lire gut a good hold nil the wooden huildings, nnd any tiling like n wind were blowing up or down the gorge it would lie h very difficult thing to cope with it. The town is exposed lo ov-rflow, ns wns seen Ihe nther day when the floor of one of the theatre* was flooded to a deplh of three teet, Then again a very serious question with tlte Oreenwood people will always be the disposal of sewerage, Theie is is no river nor Like ncai il, and unless the corporation adopt the expensive septic tank, il is difficult to see how the problem is to lie solved satisfactorily. It is also snid that the city suffers occasionally from a search y of water. This is, of course, a drawback tbat will lie overcome in time, for there are known to lie in the neighborhood many excellent springs, and not far distant one or (wo mountain lakes, wbich might be used. What are Vou Doing? It is not so much a question of "how much the citizen* of a town are doing by concerted aclion to advance tlie public interest," hut rather it. is n question of "what nre you doing, individually." Individual effort soon lends lo concerted action. It must come first. If you can do anything tn improve the town's appearance ; anything to help to huild up the community and attract the attention of capital nnd sturdy, honest home Keekers this wny, don't wait for n puhlic meeting to bu held, but do it. lf your property is not fenced don't wait for your neighbor to fence hi* j do it. if your heighhnr has cleaned his lot of .stumps nnd boulders and thrown them on to yonr tot, puss them on.

On the Sailor claim, some 20.KI feet west of the Cariboo nn the same vein, a rich Imdy of ore, identical wilh Cariboo ore, was struck in the 75-foot, level, the vein lieing 5| /eel. wide, with 30 Inches of pay ore, This strike hns caused quite a ripple of excitement in tbe camp, proving the value nnd continuity of theCarihon vein west of that company'* property, and giving assurance of future prosperity. Like the Cariboo, the Sailor I* owned principally in Toronto, nnd it is most gratifying that Ihe Toronto people ihotild-ineet with such success lu nur camp, for they have invested their money freely, equipping (he pniper- lies with the latest improved machinery, nnd sparing no expense at making a thorough investigation.
