Tho Hun Win. A, Seward, ttie Secretary of State under President Lincoln, penned the following prophetic words: • "Having its Atlantic seaport at Halifax and its Pacific depot near n Vancouver Island, British America would inevitably draw to it the cum merce of Europe,Asia, and ttie United prised to see Sir Wil- states. Thus from a mere colonial attempt tt, dispose of dependency, it would assume a con- Mr. Borden's arguments with a trolling rank in the world. To her sneer, and the Liberal newspapers other nations would be tributary, and campaign speakers, following ami jn va|„ would the United States this lead, have sel up lhe cry of n ftttompt tu be her rival, for we nev- Slandor Campaign."

It was used with great vigor by thc defenders of the lloss Government in Ontario as their unfailing answer to the arraignment which swept them from office with an overwhelming defeat. Thu (aunt is as absurd as it is dnngerotis to those who make it. Slander and personal abuse have no pari in thc dignified addresses of the Conservative loader;' and the Conservative platform he lias announced is singularly constructive, progressive, and business like. It is true that the record of the Liberal Government gives peculiar significance to the Conservative plea for tin purity of administration which forms part of the Halifax platform and to whieh the Conservative party is publicly committed. But ihe Conservative party is not responsible for the Liberal record. It is tnu that with purity of administration scandals of administration cannot exist, and that when we j achieve purity of administration we shall hear the last of graft in timber deals, graft In land deals, craft In townsite dials, or of the wicked ridiculous waste <>t the peoples money to reward political partisans.

And the late Mr. Charlos Sumner, in the Senate of the United States, in 18C7, in reference to the purchase of Alaska, said:—"The present treaty is a visible step in the occupation of the whole North American continent. As such it will be recognized by the world wild accepted iiy the American people. Hut that treaty involves something more. By it we dismiss une more monarch from this continent. One hy one they have retired; lirst France, then Spain, then France again, and now Itussla, all giving way to that absorbing unity which Is declared in tlie national motto, "EJ pluribus uniim." In reference to tlio Pacific railway of th© United States, completed May 10th, ir-f»9, the late Asa Whitney assured his readers in 1845:—"You will see that it will change tho whole world, allow us to traverse the globe in thirty days, civilize and christianize mankind, and place us in the centre of the world, compelling Europe on the one side and Asia and Africa on the other, to pass through us." The United Statfs View. When, at the request ol the lute Hon. Mr. Bayard, Secretary of State, I visited him at Washington in 1887, he said: "Well, Sir Charles, the confederation of British North America and the construction of tbe Canadian Pacific Railway have brought us face to face with a nation and we must now dial with international matters from that point of view." No one can read these Opinions of the public men of the United States without SOOlng the vital importance of those great measures from a national standpoint. Beaten on every issue between the two parties, you owed your success in 1896 to a Janus faced policy when the interests of ymir French co-rellg- innists were at Btafco, and I think you will agree with mo that under the circumstances | had reason to expect a fair share of support from Quebec. The bye-oloctiotin in Drockvlllo and Huron proved that in Ontario most disgraceful frauds were resorted to by Liberals in 18!)t;. lu the election of 1900 in Ontario l was opposed by two Governments, with all their patronage and unlimited moans, while there was hut a small subscription made for the Conservative party by a few friend* in Toronto, which only admitted of a slight contribution to aid in mooting Uie legal expenses. Notwithstanding these disadvantages however, although yuu had a major ity of twelve when the dissolution Look place al tlie n|0so of the elec tion I hud a majority ol eighteen and my defeat was secured by a solid French vote mul the influence of the ClovornmcntH in lhe smaller provinces, all of which were imppor ling you except Manitoba. Am I uot warrantor! under these circum staiieeH, when ygur opponents arc in power in Ontario, Manitoba, British ''ol hia and New Brunswick, in expect ing that, the great party who despite all the obstruction of thfl so- called Liberals, made Canada what It is, will receive from the electorate the support to which thoy they aro entitled?

SMITH OURTIS IS A FAILURE AS A CANDIDATE, and knowing it they have, by tbe great betrayal, sought to give him some ghost of a buow of winning against Arthur S. Goodeve. Hats ofl to keen! Let every Tory take ofl his hat to Keen and cheer him with three times three nnd n Royal Bengal Tiger of the finest kind ns a finisher, for having done tlie one thing needful to make every last Con servatlve in the Kootenays go into llorden, Goodeve, and a white British Columbia. British Columbin, we have a population of ubout 2011,0011 whites, taking tbe usual basis of reckoning there are •10,000 white male adults. In other words the Asiatic population in this province, equals the white male adult population and we find the Asiatic population Increasing at 100 percent, per annum, while the white population is Increasing at a little less than 12 per cent, per annum. I ask you in view of these facts which no man can gainsay, how long it will be before western Canatln will be dominated by the yellow races. Unless prompt and effective measures nre taken to stop tliis influx, 1 have shown you from Quotations from the official request of the House, the attitude of the two great parties in regard to this question. On one hand, we have the Conservative lender, Hon. R. L. Borden, working to keep Ibis a great Anglo- Saxon country. On the oilier hnnd, yon have the Liberal government, led by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, working nud believing in the introduction of cheap labor. I appeal to you as western men, is it your desire that the great heritage of our western country be Inhabited by the Japanese, us favored by Mr. Fisher, minister of agriculture. Do we want the .lupanese with his one acre grubbing day by day on his hands and knees In order that he mny raise the small portion of rice necessary for bis substance or do we want these great lands foi* which wc have heen three hundred years working mid building up, to he held and dominated by the great. Anglo- Saxon race? I safely lenve the de cislon of this question In your hands. Railway men and the Leinieiix act. When the Lciinetix not was before the federal bouse, the railway men, whu form a large proportion of tills constituency, ami, I may add, a very large proportion of the respoiisil fixed determination to win. As fains the Grits could, they gave us the worst of the deal. They dealt the cards from the bottom of the pack. They dished us up dirt of the old familiar Grit brand, and now let us see to whnt extent it profits them. On Wednesday evening Curtis eame here for his meeting with J. A. Maedonald, K. C., of Rosslnud and P. J. Deane of Nelson ns his bottle holders and hearers of the bag with thc clor- oform sponge in it. That meeting or rather the atmosphere of it, would keep Pat Burns & Co. tn Ico for a century. It was a heartbroken, frozen fiasco. There was a haunting senae of dissolution in the air and a silence sueh as creeps on people gathered in a bouse where death is imminent. Tilings went well enough while Dr. J. H. King wns speaking, but when Deane opened the chill set in. He spoke awhile in the bushed silence of the hall and Bticcoedod In saying nothing. He bad no mandate to deliver. J. A. McDonald, K.C, the leader of the opposition in Victoria, followed and the Indies reached for thoir wraps, He said that Laurier was responsible for the 120 million bushels of wheat thnt they harvested in the west this season. That the great fault of tbe Conservatives was tbat they never defined their charges against the government. Ile admit led thai there was something wrong in tin1 depart ment ot marine and fisheries and that Goodeve will make a splendid ease against the Lib erals mil of the material lurnishcd by tin famous civil service reporl. But he coilld noi raise a cllOOf or a hand clap. So II dliftod from chilly weather to arellc regions, McDonald is the Tulklughoin of the Liberal fold. Then came Smith Curtis heralded by tin thunder from the wings, the u theatrical thunder produced working men of our Dominion, men P'*/ Homo follow shaking a sheet of who daily carry in their hands lives pnpot' in the wings of the stage. The nnd property of tho people of Canada, I wild applause-, that's what they will sent n delegation to Ottawa pointing .'''ill it, lasted for every second often out that the act if passed in its then nnd then Curtis launched lnt shape would be detrimental to their interests and asking that their Hide of the question he heard or that, they should he exempt from its operations from an amendment. Mr. Borden and many of tho prominent conservatives of tho house argued in favor of the request of the railway men, stating that it. was only reasonable lhat. wben such an Important measure, and effecting such a large number of people, wns bofore the bonne, that their opinion should have due weight. Finally, Mr. Borden submitted on ho* half of these men. the following rest hi 1,1 on: "That Ibe hilt he referred t a special cniniiilltefl of l\w house for the purpose of hearing any pontons affected by the provisions of said bill who may desire lo present any rea Boltahlo objection lo its election in its present, form or wlio may desire to sign uny amendments, and that Ihey report to lhe bouse, the result of such bearing." Now 1 shall leave it, to any pers ieiice if tlmt w pliment of a most involved character to the Indies present. Ho appeared to get tangled up in his similes and ended that part of his speech by saying something about making this province a white man's, or a white woman's count iy wilh blond hair. No ono understood wlml. lie meant, and n few smiled feebly as if they fell, there was some kind of a joke concealed on the premises. Here the cold reached zero, or near it. To warm it up he referred to the gas buoys thut were of so great use to . the navigation of the St. Lawrence, i j that they helped save two mud scows from llie horrors of n watery grave, Therefore, vole for gas buoys. (We are deeply Interested in gun buoys out here,) Then ho turned to a portrait of Laurier at tlie hack of the platform and asked the people to gaze on that noble countenance, and having gn/eil, In ask themselves iu their souls, could a man with so in this vnst mid |l<,ft.v » '"'nw and a countenance so 1 n fair and rea- [noble, he possibly guilty of the chn soimble resolution All lhat was ask »''" M"11 w,,,'« 'wd to tbe door of ■il was lhat all persons affected bv |tho I""'v ,"' roprosontod?

Who made that trade? speudiiif; of the campaign cash. Sir Wilfrid's unfinished work Grafters, tinilier thieves, middlemen, and politicians want htm to finish job. Sir Wilfrid Laurier still begs the privilege of finishing his worn. His government has given to speculators only about 2500 miles of western timher. There is a little more. Let him finish the job. There ure more farm lands, and more political syndicates like that which got 250,000 acres in the Saskatchewan. Let the government finish tbe division. The grazing lumls are not nil gobbled up hy irrevocable lessees. Let that be finished. Only five ascertained purehnsen of land for government railways from middlemen at 100 to 200*per cent, rake-off have been reported. Let this good work go on. The cost of the transcontinental hus only heen multiplied hy three. Surely that is not the finish. Mr, Merwin, of 187 per cent, ruke off fame, has sold only $750,000 wortli of goods to the marine department. Let him finish. Mr, T. L. WTillson's companies have obtained only iJSOO.OOO or $900,000 on the contracts which the royal commission so beautifully denounced. It must not end there. The ('anadian Fog Signal Company has come in for only about $600,000, with profits up to 1,000 per cent. Why stop at that? Only two "Arctic" expeditions and one "Montcalm" outfit have been paid for. These things must not be nipped in the laid. At last accounts only 13 of those astonishing Wallberg contracts were iu prom-ess. This is an unlucky mini ber and should he increased. Surely there are more Wagners and Nixons, I'rcstons mul Leaebes to be PI' oled and rewarded. Only 78 tubers of parliament liavo I u appointed to olllee by Sir Wilfrid. Tlml industry is capable of expansion. Only one Quoboo bridge and oue Laurier tower have fallen. That Ih not enough, only one Sub Target deal, one Falconer deal, one Moss Rille contract, one Alaska boundary surrender, one French treaty unratified. Taxation and expenditure have only been trebled, This is merely prelim inary. Lrl Sir Wilfrid finish thene works. Borden, Goodeve, and a white British Columbia. Royal Collieries Limited o Tlie work on tlie grading and track laying of the itoyul OolHorlOB track is progressing rapidly. Five miles of the grade are completed with one mile ye( to make.

At the mine the slope is down one hundred reel. The company intends having n hotel erected at once. A. S. Goodeve and !'. R. Maedonald of RosBland were registered at tbe Cranbrook Friday. A. H.
