Ex-Premier Mercier of Quebec died on the 30th ullimo, after a lingering illness, aged 54 years Deceased was one of the most noted political characters in the Dominion. The editor of the Standard; apaper published in Colville, Wash., advertises to take pork, butter, wood, and fowl for subscriptions. He does not say what kind of iowl he wants, but we suppose it is fowl deeds, fowl play or something of that kind, Alexander III, Czar of all the Eussias, passed in his checks at Li- vidia on the 1st iust. The new monarch professes friendship' to England and Germany, apparently, foi'getting his late father's predilection for the French. And still the world wag's serenclv. wonder that the man did not get his paper. • We protest against such a manner of running a postoffice, and trust that the worthy postmaster will see that it reflects upon himself as well as being, injurious to us and other publishers. 7 7 -• ; The Kaslo Claim lias been in the 7 ■■.."'. ' ' \ journalistic graveyard for more than a year, but its dying issue and the two preceding ones are still in demand, as high as |5 having been offered for a copy of the second last, commonly known as the ' •'''Blue sheet." The editor lias received letters from different parts of the world enquiring for copies. Newspaper men who were fortunate enough to secure specimens of this now famous sheet, treasure' them as something rare, original and unique in the line of journalism, especially in Canada. Many men,0 well versed in -literary' affairs, consider the last issue one of the finest pieces of'. sarcasm ever produced in any country. And yet its editor was once cursed by the people of Kaslo. He was not considered a prophet in his own town, and as we have been acquainted with him for vears we know that there was no profit in the fcov»n for him.- THE STEAMER The Comique at New Denver is a dead issue ahd the paid up stock has been returned. The business men are busily engaged pushing a sleigh road scheme, a much more laudable scheme than attempting to float a short dress enterprise for the purpose of entertaining the honest but fiin- lovimr miner. 7 The C.P. li. has abandoned the "pass system to editors. The road has had hard luck tliis year and King Billy must cut down expenses. We have 'not heard whether he has raised the fare" on pmrsons or not. The usual tie passes are st.il 1 in order, btit may be rescinded at any time, as the road is growing- so economical that they cannot afford to have the ties worn out by the big boots of the plebeians who cannot ride on. Canada's great commercial highway owing to the low price of silver and other causes. We hear many complaints from people in different parts of the district about not being able to get the papers they subscribe for. For instance, a man in an interior town subscribed for this paper a month ago and lip to last week he had not received a single copy. This is annoying to him and a detriment to our business.
