FREEMASONRY OF CHINA Ate of Sum of the Secret Societies Now Agitating China. Deeper sad More Cogent Reuons Than Political that Caused Revolt James Cantlle tn London Dally Mall. We are from time to time reminded of the existence of secret societies in China by the fact that their members engage in periodica! outbursts which often assume fanatical proportions. Even those who possess hut a passing acquaintance with the people of China, are familiar with the names of the "Triad" and the ''Water Lily" societies; but few who do not actually come in contact with the Chinese are aware ihat every Chinaman belongs to a society or guild of some kind. The majority of these are of a commercial nature resembling the trades unions of Europe, but many exist for purely political purposes. The famous wide-reaching San-ho- hoey, or Triad society of the three united departments of nature��� heaven, earth and man���represents, or did originally represent, the Freemasonry of China, having for its professed purpose "mutual aid and assistance." A political bias has, however, always appertained to it, and its suppression haw becrine a creed of successive governments. The Lien-hwa, or Water Lily society, has, however, for its declared object the restoration of the Chinese dynasty. It has no philanthropic cloak, but all who hold to its tenets and join its ranks are the sworn enemies of the present Man- chu dynatsy. They cherish the known descendants of the Ming emporers much as the Jacobites did the Stuarts, and only await an opportunity to place the present representative of the Chinese or Ming sovereigns once more on the throne. Many other societies with more or less declared political aims, exist, a nd one of these, the "Boxers," is at present making its presence felt. It is only within the last few months that this society has found itself strong enough to raise the standard of revolt and to attempt to attain its aim and object, namely to uproot the Tartar or Manchu dynasty now misruling China. Foreigners of all nations also are object* of their antipathy, and "China for Chinese" is their watchword. The name "Boxers" is, of course, an English interpretation of their title, and their Chinese name has not yet reached us. Boxing and gymnastic associations have existed from time immemorial in China, and from the fact that the present rebels possess no arms of any kind, except what they can steal or "commandeer" from the Manchu soldiers with whom they come in contact, would seem to justify the title they aie popularly known by. Every successful invasion of China���and there have been many���has advanced through the very country the Boxers are now raiding. It is through the province of Shansi, in the extreme northwest, that the Tartar hordes first found their way into China, and now the Boxers are advancing along the same path. There may be deeper and more cogent reasons, reasons other than political, which have determined the people of this district rising in revolt. The northwest of China is gradually but surely becoming a desert. The uncontrolable water of the Hoang-Ho, the Yellow river, is with persistent regularity overflowing its banks, devastating the country, and leaving behind a deposit of sand carried down from the Mongolian deserts. The inevitable consequence is that the whole country iB becoming desiccated, and a previously fertile country is now almost treeless and verdureless. The desert is almost within sight of the walls of Pekin, and the district around it will ultimately be enveloped by the sand storms of the encroaching desert. It frequently occurs that rebellion is ascribed to political exigences, when the real reason is to be found in the want of food. The Boxers, as a political faction, are but one of the many revolutionary bodies that have come into existence owing to the chaos into which the Chinese government has fallen. It differs from the association to which Kong-Yu-Wai and Sun-Yet-Sen belong, inasmuch as these reformers wish to introduce a monarchical or republican form of government based on European principles. Sun-Yet-Sen's mission to this country was to try and induce the British to allow his party to work out their own salvation, which he believed could be done if the British assistance would not lie afforded to the present government as happened during the Taiping rebellion. The Young China party dread another "Chinese Gordon" being sent to aid the Manchu, whereby they declare the progress of Chii.a was thrown back half a century.

GBEAT DEPOSIT OF MARBLE A Mountain of Green Marble 500 Feet High And Unknown Depth POUND ON DEEP CEEEK NEAE CASCADE A Strong Company Organized to Develop the New Discovery���Cascade to Be Made the Base of Operations and Shipping Point. Last week a party of half a dozen men prominently interested iu the marble trade were on Deep creek examining and planning the devel- ment of a great enterprise in the line of marble quarrying. The new discovery, says the Spokesman-Review, is located in the extreme northwest corner of Stevens county, on Kettle river, opposite Baulne's ranch, and within half a mile of the international boundary line. In the party of visitors were C. S. Nims of Harbor Beach, Mich , C. E. Mitchell of Spokane, T. H. Greenway of Valley, Wash., who are respectively, president, general manager and superintendent of the United States Marble Company of Valley. Accompanying them were Charles Adams, a marble expert from St. Paul; T. R. Tate, engineer for the United States Marble Co., and ex-County Treasurer George Mudgett of Spokane. To a reporter Mr. Mitchell said : 'I stood upon the summit of a bluff of solid green marble 500 feet high, and for 1,500 feet to the rear and the same distance on either side the entire mass was one solid body of splendid green. We had men with us who have made marble quarries a study, and it was their unanimous verdict that this deposit of green is by far the largest ever discovered. "The property comprises the summit of a high ridge, sloping on one side to Deep creek, and on the other to the Kettle river. Three of the purveys of the Kettle River Valley railway cross the lines of the group, and a surveying party was on Deep creek last week heading toward Cascade City with a survey for an electric line to connect the Spokane Falls & Northern with the Boundary country, ''There is a body of marble covering eighty acres, without an ounce of cap rock covering it. The ridge is divided into several hog-backs, so that a dozen quarries can be opened without interfering with one another, and more than a thousand men could be put to work there, every one in green marble. "Starting at the shaft-house of the Nantucket mine, where a shaft has been sunk with the green marble as a footwall, one may walk over 2,000 feet along the ridge, always on green marble, until he comes to another shaft, flunk on the farther side, with the green marble still the foot-wall, proving the great body of stone to be a conical eruptive mass with big end down. "The group comprises four claims, and these are owned by three of the principal officers of the United States Marble company, but are not the property of the latter corporation. The claims were located by J. M. Smith and T. H. Greenway in the autumn of 1898, and one assessment has been done, but tbe nature and extent of the deposit was not known to the owners until this inspection was made. A force is to he put to work at once on development. "The material is the darkest green yet found in Stevens county. There is remarkable uniformity in- the whole mass, which is all a deep green, like the famous Gal way quarries of Ireland. One bluff shows bright streakings of golden yellow, and another carries splaihings of black. But the ground work of it' all is a deep, dark, rich green. Some jewelers have called samples of this jade stone. It is probably a serpentine, but is of a different nature from the serpentines near Valley, being harder and of a darker tint. It is a stone which can be used in connection with the lighter greens- of Valley quarries to fill any demand for any kind of green wanted anywhere in the world. The two properties are practically under the- same control. The opening of this will add materially to the mining output of the county. "The property is within a mile and a half of the Canadian Pacific railway. A mile of wagon road and a bridge across Kettle river will put it within easy access of the Canadian line of railway. It is within two and a half miles of the Cascade electric power plant, which is being equipped to furnish power to mills with an expenditure of over $500,- 000. The claims are watered by a never-failing stream; and a waterfall in Deep creek at the foot of the bluff which can be utilised to develop abundant power. If ideal conditions had been desired and planned they could not have been better than the conditions, natural nnd of human making, which surround this newest of Stevens county's marble properties." Samples of the stone from the new claims will be polished at the United States company's mill and will be on exhibition in Spokane within a few days.

Up to now, I have strictly avoid-' ed saying anything about the Mar- tin-McInnes debacle or using that awful shibboleth "I told you so", and have carefully refrained from poking any fun at our dearly be loved editor on account of his terrible lapse in the pitfalls of political prophecy, but I can't and won't refrain from asking the average Curtis supporter if he recognises just where his voting has landed us? It means this that the biggest and most important constituency off the const, a constituency that ought to have 3 members instead of 1, will be represented by a gentleman who "sitteth in the seat of the scornful" or in other words has to pile his tile with those of the opposition, and whose voice on our behalf on certain measures will, consequently be merely as that of "sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." And we expected and we needed and we deserve something vastly different. And after all, Mr. Editor, you were not nearly so badly in error as was the Great Martin faction itself. For some warped reason or other, the chairman of the late government party kept me daily posted with fantastic bulletins which make wondrous good reading now it is all over. For one thing he informed me, that the defunct government would have at least 25 seats in the new house,���it got 8, then again, after offering copious advice and issuing various instructions he kindly asked me to state my requirements. But I didn't; "Money I Not much ! I Tbat ain't my kind, I ain't no such" One thing at least the Hon. Mr. Smith Curtis achieved whilst "cloaked in brief authority," and that was the getting of his name on the fly leaf of one of the most interesting Minister of Mines reports that has been issued for some time. ' 'How can man die better Than by facing (earful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his gods ?" According to various scientists and theorists the odds are fearful enough any how. Here are some of them, take your choice. I am quoting mainly from a compilation by Herbert C. Fyfe. According to Lord Kelvin, there isn't going to be oxygen enough to last, consequently everyone will be suffocated��� worse than sitting at the theatre between two fat women. Professor Bees, following suit, discourses learnedly on "air failure," in which case I suppose that Trusts will corral the available supply, and deal it out at so much per chunk, all same our friend the ice man. Then where will Chris Foley be ? Mr. Nikola Tesla thinks if we don't look out we'll set light to the atmosphere by using too much electricity; so we'd better stick to coal oil in Cascade. Mr. H. G. Wells, supported to some extent by the late Prof. Darwin, contends that the sun's heat iB getting "smaller by degrees and beautifully less" each year, and l.imeby we'll all be snowed under worse than the Martin party at the last election. However its 193 in the shade today and I'm not worrying much myself. Professor Ealbsays, on the other hand, what he's afraid of, is that Biela's comet will some day come into us stem on, and knock the natal stuffing out of the wicked world; in which case if you can't fly, "those of you who cannot swim had better get out of the way." Then Mr. Wells, who's on in this act anyhow, has it not her shot at it and suggests that we'll all get eaten up by ants, or perhaps six-foot crabs; if he'd said eighteen inch mosquitoes now, we might have believed him. F'rinstuns, I just had to sit down to fight them in Laval- ley's swamp the other Sunday, and then when I got up to go away, hang'd if a rear guard hadn't ambushed two quarts of fresh gathered huckleberries and eaten the blooming lot. Other terrorists talk of microbes and amphibious monsters and rabbits just as if taxgatherers and old maids and trolly cars wer'n't fatal enough. Another gentleman argues that the vital fluid of the terrestrial globe is oil, and that if Rockefeller doesn't soon let up taking such big doses, the crust will crack and a chaotic capsize be created, which somehow bars lamps as well as electric lights, and suggests candles ���as embodying more profit to the vendor. Then.Sir William Crookes strongly contends that the end will result from scarcity of food, to be more precise flour food. Sir William is a statistician, and can prove it hy figures, of course he could prove the opposite just as easily by the same means, because figures never lie. It's just going to take 31 years, according to Crookes. In 1871 there were 371,000,000 bread eaters, and in 1931 there will be 746,500.000, nnd the world will be like a boarding school, won't have "enough to go round." Well, that doesn't scare me either, I don't eat bread myself, I always take toast. M. de Lapparent, who is a French savant by the way, and consequently entitled to careful consideration, says that why there won't be any world left soon, is because the rivers and seas will wash all the land away, so that some of you had better wade in before it is too late and make love to Mrs. Langtry in order to secure a berth in the "White Ladye." On the other hand another seer of undoubted ability says we'll all perish from lack of water; but that's the worst of these scientist; they're too one-legged in their ideas; what's the matter with drinking beer ? General Brialmont, who is a "brave Beige," and lives in Brussels, where there are more pretty girls to the acre than anywhere on earth, says what's troubling him is, that population is increasing so quickly that pretty soon the boxes and stalls will be all taken, the dress-circle jammed, the pits suffocating, the gallery sitting on its sweethearts' knees, with standing-room only left for the remainder, and the supply of pea-nuts and chewing-gum plumb exhausted. Instead of which some people simply go and get drunk and fall down and break their necks, and "jes nacherally die," which is a disgusting waste of opportunity. Is there then no chance? Of course there is. Scientists and savants are built tbat way; if one of them finds he can't go one better, he just sets to work to prove the other idiot doesn't know what he's jabbering about, which is always quite easy. The chance? "It is the chemist," says Sir William Crookes, "who must come to the rescue of the threatened communities," and M. Berthelot, the great French chemist supports him, in fact, believes himself the appointed Saviour. Under which circumstances I want to ask why on earth Doc Schaich closed down the drug store? Which reminds me nf a well known Trail gentleman, who, whenever a certain Rossland bank manager contrives to get to the Springs for a day or two's much needed and well earned rest, systematically lodges the complaint, "Who on earth is going to look after my overdraft while you are away?" One of the English magazines contains an interesting, and, of course, strictly true account of the honeymoon spent by a Britisher and his wife, (accompanied by a guide, a cook and several horses,) hunting grizzlies on the plateau between the White yalley and the Kettle river. Now if ever I spend a honeymoon hunting grizzlies, I'll leave the lady at home, but that isn't the point. This gentleman proved himself a sporting phenomenon. He bagged grizzlies in coveys, and what's more bagged them in the summer time, "in fine fur.* I generally believe all I hear, and more than half of what I see, but this seems "coming it" a bit too strong. I wasn't very suspicious until I ran across one of the photos wherein the great shikarri had his rifle pointed plumb into the cook's ear hole. It must have been the cook, bees use the guide would have killed him on the spot for taking such a liberty. Now people who hold rifles like that, don't bag grizzlies in coveys, even on the Kettle river. I think it was ground hogs he must have meant. And anyhow he didn't have half as exciting a honeymoon as a dear friend of mine had. He was a valued instrument of the British Secret Service Fund, and I regret to say I "assisted," as they say in France, at his wedding. Amy Belknap was one of the kind that Augustus ought to have had sense- enough to let alone. They went to Monte Carlo for their honeymoon, and five days later, at an hour's notice, Augustus was ordered off to- Moscow on a matter of European importance and British honor. At that time his best way was by steamer via Marseille and Sevastopol. The vessel was wrecked in a fog near Balaklava, twelve people- were drowned and ten frozen to- death. Augustus escaped, but lost everything but his passport. Continuing his journey he got into a railway smash, and fourteen more people were killed. Then again he proceeded and finally accomplished his mission with honor and ability, and returned to join his beauteous bride. He found a note instead. "Dear Augustus���Things wsre getting too dull; I've gone to Cairo to- finish our honeymoon with Count Montmartre. Your loving but neglected Amy. P.'S. I'll come back, if you want me to."

Gosnell, formerly of Greenwood, has been appointed secretary to the premier. Russia is being charged with having incited the Boxers to insurrection in China. The Nelson ball team defeated the Spokane team, at the latter place Saturday last, 14 to 10. Sir Henri Joly is now the Lieut. Governor of British Columbia, vice Thos, R. Mclnnes, dismissed. An eastern paper refers to our recent election contest as "British Columbia village politics." And that was about the size of it. Freight is now being hauled over the Sau Poil road to Republic for one and one-half cents per pound. The road is said to be first-class. When the monopoly papers talk of a stable business government, they mean a government that has the will and power to legislate in the interest of corporations, and ���call out the army to compel submission on the part of all objectors. What's this we hear the Phoenix Pioneer proclaiming���that it is wicked for a newspaper to show partisan preferences? Well, well; did you ever hear the like ! Boasting of its own fine political balancing, it says: "No self respecting journal would take any other course!" That a journal may favor a party for the principles it espouses from a conscientious standpoint, is evidently beyond the Pioneer's conception. "Grannie" Southam lost seven 'ducklings the other day, by the meanness of a neighbor'j dog. Mr. G. K. Stocker returned from nn eight day sojourn in Spokane, Wednesday night. Mr A. M. Button has charge of the business of the Yale-Columbia Lumber company at this place. The average attendance at the Cascade school during the year ending to-day was between thirteen and fourteen. Mr. R. McRae tells our reporter that he bas "staked an agricultural claim" across the river a little southwest of town. A fresh supply of canned goods just received at the Pioneer store. Beans, Peas and corn each 15 cents; Tomatoes, 2 cans for 35; Eggs 25c. Last Saturday Mr. J. A. Bertois received by expr?"? two brand new high-grade Rambler wheels���lady and gantlemen's, from the Fred T. Merrill establishment in Spokane. They are beauties, and are not idle by any means. The three cards of merit presented by the Department of Education to the pupils obtaining the highest marks during the school year in proficiency, punctuality and regularity, and deportment, were obtained in the Cascade school by Jennie McRae, Willie Walling and Ralph Wolverton, respectively. A roll of honor is preserved by the Department of Education in Vic toria, to which the names of three pupils in every school in British Columbia distinguishing themselves for proficiency, punctuality and regularity, and deportment, are added every year, and the names of Jennie McRae, Willie Walling and Ralph Wolverton will be preserved there for generations. Mrs. G. K. Stocker visited in Greenwood yesterday, returning home this afternoon. Mr. John Simpson, Principal of Cascade public school, will spend the greater part of his summer vacation in Nelson, and left for that city today. Some evilly disposed person made an attempt to steal a horse from the barn of Wm. Brown one night this week. The thief was met by Mr. Brown just as he was leading the horse out of the stable, when he took to his heels and made his escape without identifica- tion. Mr. Fred. Gribi has been compelled to close his meatshop here, owing to the unsatisfactory methods of the P. Burns meat monopoly and the extortionate exactions of the express company. The Burns monopoly would ship down here any old thing that was not needed elsewhere, but they suited themselves and not Mr. Gribi. They shipped what and when suited their pleasure. The removal of the wholesale market to Greenwood added cost to the meats, which came out of Mr. Gribi's already meagre margins, and when he needed a supply the most the monopoly was arrogant and indifferent. We don't blame him for quitting the business. ORAND EXCURSION AND WEDD1N0 Aboard the Myrtle B., on Christina Lake, To- Monow, July 1st.

Accompanying the wedding party will be many excursionists who propose to enjoy the pleasures of the outing thus planned. The steamer will return to the landing at 4 o'clock, where a supper and dance will be prominent features and participated in by many. Good music. Fine supper. Nice sail. Lots of sport. Tired of Life and Its Troubles. Worn out with years of suffering and despairing of any possible relief, Mrs. Jessie Allard, wife of Wm. Allard and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McCool, blew her brains out with a rifle, about 11 o'clock last Sunday morning, at the family residence one and one- half miles from town, says the Grand Forks Miner. The deed had been carefully planned, every detail being worked out, and was not the result of any sudden impulse. She had been suffering for years with epilectic fits, and evidently gave up all hope of being relieved, and decided to take the matter in her own hands and put an end to her suffering. She had left a note saying that she was tired of suffering and that she believed it was best for all concerned for her to put an end tn her existence, and asking her mother to look after her baby, a bright little child about four months of age.

The ladies decided to have a lawn social; Whoever could sing, read or play was invited To help with the program, so that with the ice-cream, And soft drinks the patrons might all be delighted. "To grace the occasion," the bachelors said, "Let's invite the young ladies from Gladstone to come; "In 'treating' them well with our own money and wit, "We shall swell the proceeds for our little church home." Alas 1 for their hopes, and the funds, for not clear Was the way at this time. "We must wait till the next," Sadly thought the young men. But they bargained without Their good schoolmaster's wit; for he was by this vexed. Like Kitchener, "Bobs," and all men of renown, The schoolmaster planned, and persisted, and won. The minister "wired" for the ladies to come, And the plans for the social were finished and done. 0, Kelman, he's long, and he's good as he's tall, And Ritchie's good looking, and "spoke for," as well; And Tebo's "no' had," but the charms of us all Were as nothing when Simpson's proud bosom did swell, When he went to the station', escorted them over��� Bought ice-cream and cake���lemonade without stint. When he read his scotch piece and presided so well, We subsided unwillingly, taking the hint. The ice-cream and lemonade booths were well served; And we bought, and we ate, as the program was given. We should have been happy, and would, but for him, For he strove to be pleasing as he never had striven. While "Grannie" sang sweetly, while Ritchie declaimed, While Ferguson thought,��� while Miss Darrow played well; While Dunbar sang "proodly the sangs o' his land," And "Pa" Stocker sang love longs, can anyone tell What the schoolmaster planned ? What he said ? What he did ? While the minister "fiddled," while Jennie MacRae Recited so nicely, while Mrs. Brown read, And sang, too���can anyone tell ? What's that ? "Aye I "While Miss Cameron, Mrs. MacDonald, and, too, "Mesdames Wolverton, Stocker, MacRae and the others "Were serving the good things, and were treated as well, "You say Simpson's eyes spoke love that was not a brother's ?" "While Editor Turner read well of the love "Of Damon and Pythias," you say, "that just then "The schoolmaster's thoughts, heart and judgment agreed "That the state he found his true heart in, just then, "Was far more delightsome ?" But what did he say, As he bent o'er his music-box���telling its ways ? Or treating the ladies���Mrs, Rochussen's march Suggesting a wedding ? Well, well, its his craze. But the minister, Kelman, and Ritchie next day Quite outshone him, by "lunching" the ladies and friends. Perhaps I may tell of this luncheon again; For the present my twice told tale at this point ends. The Old Reliable Store, *" W. M. WOLVERTON, Manager.

Turner, D. IB. Eberts, W. C. WeISs, Richard McBride, J. D. Prentice Honse Prorogued to Later Date to Permit of Bye-Electlong-Byograpbical Sketches of tbe New Ministers. Premier Dunsmuir completed his cabinet last Friday, with J. D. Prentice as provincial secretary and minister of education; W.C. Wells, chief commissioner of lands and works; Richard McBride, minister of mines. The new ministers at once took oath of office, were sworn in, and assumed charge of their respective departments. Writs for the hye-elections in Victoria City and South Victoria were at once issued to provide for the re-election of Hon. J. H. Turner and Hon. D. M.Eberts, on July 3d. The bye- elections for the return of the other members of the cabinet are set for July ���, and the assembling of the house has been prorogued till the 19th of July, in order to give time for the re-election of all the ministers previous to the opening of the session. Hon. W. C. Wells, the new minister of lands and works, is a native of Vankleek Hill, Presoott county, Ont., and 43 years of age. He is a son of the late Sheriff Wells of the counties of Russell and Prescott, and a brother of Hon. R. M. Wells, late speaker of the Ontario legislature. For seven years Mr. Wells was in business in Montreal. In 1886 he came to British Columbia, engaging in the lumber business at Pallieer. The new minister is a Liberal in federal politics He entered the provincial political arena in 1898, when he was elected to the legislature for Northeast Kootenay as a supporter of the Semlin government. Again a candidate at the receni elections he was re-elected by a large majority. Hon. Richard McBride is a native son, born in New Westminster December 15, 1870, and is probably the youngest who ever obtained political prominence in British Columbia. He received his early education at the public schools in that city, and afterwards at the Dalhousie University, graduating therefrom in 1890. Was admitted to the bar in 1892, at time connected with the law-firm of Corbould, McColi, Wilson & Campbell, practising at New Westminster. Since 1894 he has'been practising on his own account,.and,at. present is in partnership wjth J. D. Kennedy in his native town. In 1896 be contested unsuccessfully the constituency of New Westminster against Aulay Morrison at the- general federal elections. Two years later��� 1898���he was elected to the legislature for Dewdney as a supporter of the Turner government. At the recent provincial election j he was reelected to the legislature as an Independent by a large majority. In federal politics Mr. McBride is a Conservative. Hon. J. D. Prentice, an Englishman by birth, sat for East Lillooet during the session of 1895, and was again elected in 1898, playing an important part in the exciting scenes incidental to the collapse of the Semlin administration. At the recent elections he was returned by a good majority. The Colonist's Vancouver correspondent forecasts to the effect that the guard of honor to the Lieut.- Governor at the opening of the house will be selected from the Third Canadian special service regiment.

Anyone can have the Cassiar ballot box by the payment of $10 express charges. It is full of ballots and duly sealed. On its bottom is written, "'Warnock Cannery, Rivers Inlet," and on a tag attached to the box is this inscription: "J. G. Garvey, Returning Oflicer,Cassiar District, Vancouver, B. C." The box was taken to Victoria on the steamer Queen City, and handed to the purser of the Tees and it thus found 'its way to Vancouver. Messrs. Evans, Coleman & Evans took charge of it as agents for the C. P. | N. Co., and, not being able to find ! any claimant, took it to the express office. The express office refused to handle it, and returned it to Evans, Coleman & Evans, who wrote a post-card to J. G. Garvey, Cassiar district, in the hope that that gentleman would pay the $10 charges and whatever wharfage there was on the box, and thus relieve them of their serious obligation ���of taking care of a government ballot box. No answer was received to the card, The Cassiar election, from last reports is somewhat close, .���and if there was a recount the authorities would be looking very anxiously for that run-away ballot box. The deputy returning officer, it appears, at the Warnock cannery, had been instructed to send the box -to the proper government department at Victoria, but instead addressed it lo Mr. Garvey, the returning officer of the district, and ���further complicated matters by ���naming Vancouver instead of Victoria as the place of its destination, and the Government must pay $10 charges to get possession of the wandering Martin-killers.

Well Stocked Bar in Connection. Government Ownership of Railways Instead of Railway Ownership of Government. Speeches Were Made Denouncing Both the Old Parties and Demanding New Conditions. [Second Avenue, Cascade City, B. C. fit A large picnic was held recently at the Sand Banks, Bloomfield, Ont., under the auspices of the Patrons of Industry, this organization having still a very strong following in Prince Edward county. About 4,000 people were present, and a large audience assembled to hear the addresses delivered during the afternoon. John W. Hyll, West Lake, was chairman. Rev. Dr. Douglass, M. P., Assiniboia, was the first speaker, and deprecated extreme party ism. Seventy lawyers are members of the House of Commons, and the producing clases should be better represented. The Dominion government was condemned for bribing foreigners to emigrate to Canada instead of righting conditions here. Frank Oliver, M. P., Alberta, and W. H. Pettet, M. P., Prince Edward, followed. J.�� H. Haycock, ex-M, P., pointed, out that this country's prosperity was not owing to, but in spite of, the government. Corruption in both old parties was condemned, as was the increase in expenditure from $37,000,000 to $50,000,000 by the Laurier govern- inent. John A. Sprague, ex-M. P., and Edgar Mnrtin followed. G. Weston Wrigley, Toronto,urged that the time had arrived for the establishment of an independent organization on a broad basis. The people should rule instead of being ruled. Canada has a government by the parties of the corporations, and for the spoils, but if the senate wus abolished and the initiative and referendum introduced, Canada could have government ownership of railroads instead of railioad ownership of governments. A. McFaul, County Patron President, seconded the resolution given below, it being introduced by Mr. Wrigley. The Patron organization might be almost extinct, but the independent spirit would never die. This resolution passed unanimously : "Whereas, A large and ever increasing number- of the citizens of Canada are greitly dissatisfied with the misgovernment of the two old parties, in both federal and provincial legislatures, and "Whereas, It is useless to hope either Conservative-Liberal or Liberal-Conservative parties will institute a government in the people's interests, they being largely influenced by the corporation agents, who contribute largely to election funds; therefore, be it "Resolved, That it is advisable that the wealth-producers in both farm and factory join with all others dissatisfied with present political conditions in organizing independent political leagues throughout the country, and "Resolved, Further, that this meeting authorizes the issuing of a call for a provincial convention of independents in Toronto during the coming Industrial Fair, and a committee composed of Geo. Wrigley, editor of Citizen and Country, Toronto; W. T. Smith, editor Weekly Sun, Toronto; Duncan Marshall, Markdale; R. N.Brice, St.Thomas; Lockie Wilson, President Patrons of Industry, Alexandria; J. A. Flett, Vice-President Dominion Labor Congress, Hamilton; Portland Benson, Picton; P. M. Drayer, Ottawa, and Leighton McCarthy, M. P., Toronto, be instructed to issue a call and complete arrangements for the holding of the convention." 8 THE CASCADE RECORD June 30, 1900 The coming Commercial, Industrial and Mining Centre of Bast Tale.
