Premier Bond on the Fisheries Question.
NEGOTIATIONS  ARE  PENDING
Satisfactory Settlement Will Soon
be  Arrived  at With
France.
St. Johns, Nd., Feb. 27— In the
colonial assembly yesterday afternoon. Premier Bond moved the
passage of the modus vivendi bill.
He said that important negotiations were progressing between
the governments of Newfoundland,
Great Britain and France, but that
these were necessarily secret.
The premier also expressed his
firm conviction that the fearlessness, firmness and business of Mr.
Chamberlain, the British Colonial
secretary, would insure a satisfactory settlement of the question
in the interest of Newfoundland in
the near future.

small steam plant with which the
mine for several months has been
operated. When this iB done shipping and development will be carried on simultaneously. A carload
of Spitzee ore recently sent to the
smelter gave returns of $24 per
ton."

Edward Baillie, auditor for the

that 12 teams are hauling ore from
the mine to the landing and they
are moving about twelve tons a
day. Four carloads have already
been shipped. The roads have
been bad this winter on account
of the lack of snow and for some
time it has been necessary to make
transfers from the sleighs at the
upper end of the road, to the wagons nearer the lake. Wm. Robeits,

Yesterday was published a news
item emanating from a city in the
United States setting forth the fact
that a typographical union refused
an application for membership on
the ground that the applicant was
a member of the local militia. In
Canada Bitch a state of things as is
revealed aB existing behind the
scenes by this sudden lift of the
veil does not at present exist. It
is hoped that the unions never will
become of the opinion that such a
step would be necessary, as it implies an antagonism that should
never have the occasion to exist in
the civilization of the twentieth
century. It is, however, signilicent
to remember, in the ominous advance of trusts.that the Vancouver
papers each and all found it neces
sary last summer, just before the
opening of the fishing season when
the fishers refused to accept the
terms offered by the dinners, to remind the militia of their oath of
allegiance. No attempt was wisely
made to repeat the Steveston exhibition of the mailed hand of the
year before.
White men of British parentage
or descent are Hocking into Canada
because they feel that here will be
found lhat freedom that is denied
them in their own country. Here
there exiBts an appeal to the legislature, to the judiciary which
though sometimes answered tardily
has never, so far, failed of recognition. Canada wants immigrants
but she wantH the pick ol the earth.
She wants men, not. abject bipeds,
without even the spirit of the barndoor fowl. Let Canadian legislators understand that the interests
of Canadians as a whole are before
the interests of mere money or
trade, and legislate accordingly,
and there will never come to pass
in this country that industrial,
fearful warfare which is seemingly
all too awfully foreshadowed in
the great country to the south.
FRONTAGE.
\%m
One objection that is raised to
the establishment of a frontage tax
Is that an injustice will accrue.
Those improvements which have
already been accomplished have
been done all the expense of the
general public. Those improvements which shall be established
in future, under the frontage system, will be financed, not by the
general fund, but by a special one
raised by the property owners holding the land to he improved. But
many people whose property is at
present unimproved have contributed in times past to tho betterment of the lots of others.
The objection is valid as far as it
goes. Two things, however, must
be remembered. First that in many
cities where the frontage system
hits been profitably adopted certain
areas, usually the central business
streets, and certain main thoroughfares leading to and from the city,
have been exempted from the general operation of the bylaw on the
ground that the bettormentof theso
particular streets would be for tho
general good of the whole city.
Except in a few isolated instances
the streetB that have been improve-
ed, the placeB where the great bulk
of the money has been expended
lie in the heart of this city. It can
be argued, and possibly successfully, that, after all, the interest of
the city in these particular portions but brings an added value to
the property affected as is evinced
by the heavy prices demanded for
central business lots. He that as it
may the fact remains that many
cities have argued the other way,
and if Rossland is ever to adopt
the irontage^system it must tacitly
accept the argument to the contrary.
This brings us to the second
reason why the frontage system
should he adopted. Despite the
factthatfutureitnprovements Would
have to be paid for by men who
are also paying in interest and
sinkingjfund for improvements accomplished by general revenue and
that'hit! seems to be an injustice,
the st'.p is necessary else a greater
injustice would inevitably be suffered by theBe very people.
For there is no money to carry
out further improvements which
yield nodirect money return. If this
injustice is thought unbearable
then these people who have unimproved property will still have to
keeponpayingfor improved portions
of the city while their own property was unapproachable or lacking
the facilities which an advanced
civilization demands. Further, as
additions are platted and domicilts
erected, a certain minimum of improvements, done sparsely and
niggardly from year to year, will
have to be carried out at the general expense. The Btifferers from
injustice will see no chance of getting redress and the sum of the injustice year to year will grow even

largely increases, put the city into]
trim order but not unless the value!
grows in heavier ratio than the
spread of population. Else there!
would be no catching up. Andl
again, if the present system continues indefinitely in force, the ap-1
pearance of Rossland for years to
come will remain out at elbows 1
since the money available will not
be more than enough to give a very
superficial attention to even the
most pressing wants.
The frontage system will, on the
contrary, prevent undue haste in
the platting of additions. It will
gradually lessen the general taxation as debt is paid off. It will
beautify the city quicker than any
other system and it will not cost
any more money even from the
very start. If the council wisheB
to do something that will give it a
claim on the suffrages of the city,
let it give this matter its gravest
consideration.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Attention is being drawn to the
importance of Oriental trade to
this province and to the effects of
the Great Northern merger to control the same. As China is the
very best market for the silver of
this country the matter is one
well worth the consideration of the
Kootenay members of the legislature!
To show how the idea of high
grade rock still prevails in certain
not too well informed quarters in
tbe camp it will be sufficient to
point out that the White Bear's
chief claim to cousideration according to the "Miner," is that picked
samples of its ore run $40 to the
ton. If that was the only claim
to the confidence of the public
possessed by the White Bear mine
its shares would not be in demand.

BRITISH
WORKMEN
Great Britain as a Lender
of Workers as Well as
Capit 1.
It is a lucky thing for any coun
try to have British interests wrap
ped up in her when Bhe happens to
be in trouble. She has only to
apply to the British government,
which strokes its chin, and says:
"Well, we'll lend you a man who
will put it up right for you, but
you must send him back undamaged." During the past twenty
years Britain has audited the
hooks and drilled thearmies of over
a dozen nations.
Two years and a half rgo Japan
got her accounts in such a muddle that she had to borrow one of
Queen Victoria's servants to help
her. Britain sent them the famous
accountant, John Dymock Murray, who in six weeks brought
seven defaulters to book, revised
the whole tax system, organized
the police, and added permanently
_£1,000,000 to the oountry'g yearly
income.
King Chulalongkorn of Siam
would have had a good many bad
times had he not been able to persuade Britain to let him borrow a
man or two. Besides business matters, you cannot beat Britain for
policemen, and Chulalongkorn borrowed from our government a solitary man, who quashed a whole
hostile nation for the king—the
wandering tribe of Mekon dacoits,
numbering over 200,000.
The khedive of Egypt owes the
existence of one of the best black
armies in the world to a handful
of plain noncoms, which Britain
has lent him for a time—drill-sergeants from our regiments of the
line.
Four years ago the United
Stales thought it wasn't any busi
ness of ours to lend Mexico a
scientist to cope with the yellow
fever plague, fancying that if we
got our finger in it we might go too
far.
But Britain lent Mexico Sir
Allan Stavely, the famous vaccinationist and sanitary expert. He
cured over 3000 babies of the disease, besides numberless other
people, mostly against their will,
and he reduced the fever casualties
by 55 per cent per annum. He is
even now in the temporary service
of Brazil, working to stamp out
a destructive disease that is derived from drinking bad water. He
is succeeding too, hand over fist.
Portugal had so much trouble
with her merchant service steamers eight years ago that she had to
come to ub. We lent Portugal
for twelve months Chief Engineer
Bailie Coulson, who started in lhat
country a government engineer's
college for merchantmen, and now
the graduates of that institution
keep Portugal's steamers going
strong. Most of kher railroads, too
are engineered by British taught
men.
Britain has got rather tired of
lending men to Turkey, who would
borrow the whole cabinet and
privy council if we would let her
have tbem; but she drew a prize
when the British government allowed her to borrow Barton Evans,
to whose work the whole of Turkey's present customs and revenue
are due. The sultan owes the
increase of £500,000 a year to his
income solely to hie luck in being
able to borrow Evans for the short
space of two years.

OLIVER'S
LAMBS
Northport    Smelter    Rewards  an  Employe-
Friends Grateful.
The following newspaper extract
and original letter referring to the
lambs that were brought into this
city in contravention of the alien
labor law is a singular commentary on the class of immigrants
that Rossland is indebted to law
breaking mine owners for their in
troduction here and the consequent
increase of the cost of police administration and the destruction of
its character as a city of law abiding people. The raw ignorance
displayed by the letter writer is
sufficient to debar a Jap from en'
tering the province, were the law
carried out. The charming light
thrown upon the methods of the
importers of this olaBS of degraded
labor is also instructive.
