/riie Mayor gave a list of,,the salaries now paid by the city', and said
it totaled the astonishing sum of
$799 per month,. He proposed to
remedy this by "cutting doen ihr- police, force'and' aboHshinb the city
solicitor and hiring somebody'at ?35
per month to run the justice mill,
known as the police court. Tho cily
could buy legal advice in tho open
niarkce, and the chief ol police and
the fire chief could be rolled up in
tnc. suit.of blue clothes, The lucky
fellow wlio drew the suit could be
paiil'$i25 or $150, and'still the tity
l.*o nliend. The jailer conl'd be turned
out to grass and. the city prisoners
turned over1 to the province.
Uy practicing this kind of pruning
he .staled thnt the city could save n
sum equal lo $3,750 in the year,
which sum, if invested in beautifying
tho streets, would greatly add to the
value of tlio city.

" Premier McBridc now bus a fair
,, working majority in the House to
buppoit liim, aud it remains to be
seen what use, he will make of it.
Tlie Ledger has always maintained
that Mi. McBride showed a lack ot
the real quality which goes to the
make-up of a statesman when be ac-
'ccptcjl tlie' responsibilities of government" under the circumstances prevailing "at the time ,1k* accepted' the
call from the Lieutenant-Governor,
and that he emphasized that luck of
,ical statesmanship' when'be continued
■ u>" play at government with such
hacking a.s he "secured at the elections
some liuee years* ago.
Now conditions have so changed
' that l.e fmds himself in a position to
vtaily ■ govern with a majority of the
,ni;-inbew_ .' belonging to the party
- nhich he leads, at,his. back, and' be.
will, for tlie first time, find himself
in a really responsible position,* the
duties oi which'he will have to meet
with'no possibility of shifting.

' mains to be looked after and • safe-

guarded in-the interest of its owners, the public,..will furnish ..'ample
scope for', the, ability of 'the most,able
111,111 lie can call to the position ot

beeii" through the incapacity of those
who..-lia.vb been allowed,' "to• blunder
llirougli^that department , that this
proiinee - has bean robbed of -more
thrin enough to* square oft the entire
debt now saddled upon us as a con-
saquciKC. of such blundering.
Not another acre of timber should
be allowed to" pass Irom the Crown

without the payment of its value into the.' treasury. British Columbia

The department of" public works
, should be divorced from the lands de-
partinent, and the minister of lauds
allowed to occupy hi j whole time in'
organizing his department anew.
In Eastern British Columbia abuses
' have heeu. allowed to creep into *the
industrial conditions which would be

where else outside of.Sibcria.,*,
Corporations which have" received

make use of their gifts to circumvent
the truck' act and to perpetuate a
state of petty tyrany whicli is dnily
becoming more nnd more irksome and
unbearable. •"
One little amendment to the truck
i".'t would sweep'into oblivion these
odious .conditions and quadruple the
revenue derived irom licenses, etc.,
now realised by the province from a
trade tliat has been monopolised by
these recipients of the bounty of a

As wo said nf the beginning of Ins-
article, no mnn or government has
ever had such opportunities lying
before them to do good to the people of a province ns now lies before
the ptescnt government nt Victoria,
With her iiiouiilniiis of ore and
toiil, her vast forc.sKi of limber, her
great possibilities' for farming, grazing uiul fruit growing, British Columbia, with wise iidiftlnlstratioii of

of grand provinces, The opportuuitv

two years because 'of■•"-.the., ipcapacitj;"
or indisposition „of the officials, both"
city and provincial^,-to see that 'tho'
laws- of the land-are respected.
A tew people who get a rake-ofl
irom the law-breaking" process, de-
feud their actions'by saying Uiat--an
open town brings money. &_
' Will; these wise ones kindly inform
the public who gets the money'which
comes to .this town because of -such
neglect as ■ to law and ; its'-, enforcement? " ,-* <* ; ' ' .,
They keep _ discreetly , silent as to
the thousands' of dollars that have'
one "glimmering * because,' of law
breaking in this cily 'and do all iii'
their power to' keep out'of the press'
details' of transactions which „liave
brought iuin to families and ..diverted
thousands of dollars from a legitimate to illegitimate? uses.
The people of Fernie' need not con-
solo themselves with, the erroneous
idea" that money which is paid for
worse than nothing' will benefit a
umimuiiily which allows such .business to be practiced with impunity.
Iiveiy dollar that goes' ' for, nothing,
tosls somebody just that much, and
the vice .that impels men lo rart
with their money in that way is not
only .i cuise to its victim, but to the
community at large:
The Ledger is very well aware tliat
'in onlci to execute law, public .sentiment is necessary, and judging from
the cfleet of the partiality shown by
the highest authority in our city in
dealing with this evil, a very few
more jolts of the same kind will do
more towards creating, that, necessary sentiment-cthan dozens of 'tern-'
pcraiice lectures. It was ever ' thus!
Give a law breaker rope" and he will
always do the lest.: The law against
gambling has never ,' been enforced
\v:th any degree* of vigor., A few tinhorn gamblers have been made "scape
goats" and fined," but-, the. places
where these fellows did their work
were allowed to keep "on breaking the
law until they have concluded, that
they aic a law unto themselves, and
bcg&ii to dictate to the powers . .'.hat
be (lord pity the powers) as to who
should be allowed to do the law
bieakiiig for'the town. ' , "
They must have a" monopoly of that
business, and woe be, to the' fpoliceman who has a suflicient sense of fair
play "in his make-up "to rebel.

''The developments iu city ■ police af-
'.airs do not add credit" to the Mayor
for his action as time passes.
His statement in the, last week's
Ledger was not satisfactory and did
not dispell the public discontent over
the matter.
The Ledger asked tlie" Mayor" explicitly if heiiad interfcrrcd 'with the
i'oliceju the prosecution of the Fernie Hotel case, and his answer was
that he had not; that he had only
"advised postponement of action."'
In his statement, to tlie Free Press,
he answers a question as to whether
he told Chief Walker not to'push the
prosecution. He answered as follows;
' "To a certain extent tlmt is true,
Mr. Walker volunteered to accept the
responsibility and carry 'it over my
head., I sold nol Whatever responsibility there is I shall not shirk in as-
Miming myself, but as you have asked my ndvlcein the matter, my ' ad-
nce is to wait until .the commission
is appointed and take action in " the
mailer when you will receive your
Instructions."
Why Mayor Iloimcll should refuse'to
make such an admission to the Ledger'is a matter which concerns him
'| a n udi _.rentei 'extent tli-m ji d v
the Ledger, inasmuch as he now
stands charged with the exercise of
official favoritism in a most offensive
form, The Ledger will treat the
Mayor with perfect fairness, and If
lie returns unfair treatment he is the
individual who will stiller,
Chief Walker was also asked by
the Ledger for a statement' of „lil«
side of,tin. case, but declined io do
mi last week, on the ground that hu
was not prepared to do so. This

the sufferer an easy prey to .pne-smon-
