The property le being developed by u system of tunnels driven directly upon the vein, and at least 5000 (eet ot tunnels, cross-cuts and raisas have been driven. The ore encountered ia principally of a concentrating nature, but lurje sliutes of clean ore are also met with. Is places the vein is over 40 feet iu width and completely filled with ore. Although there is considerable clean i t.i in this property the management has never tried to make a shipping mino out of it, but has been content to develope it to a state where it would just ily the erection of a large concentrating plant for the handling ol the mine's output. While doing tha develops ent work several large dumps ol ore have accumulated and the mine Is now in a position to furnish ore enough to keep u hundred ton mill fully supplied A few carloads of clean ore baa been shipped tu the smelter from Ibis mine and (here is now readv for shipment some six carloads.

Smith, hailing from York State, struck the Slocan last fall. He told his brothei, Rancher Smith, that be was suffering from ennui. Our Rancher who is quite a josher, said, "I have a specific remedy for that tired feeling. Let me introduce you to my trick mule." The knockdown process waa gone through and thu invalid began li s course of treatment. Ed. had sand and tackled Hie mule and a woodpile. The latter dwindled under bis repeated attacks, but that mule gave him the fight of his life and won out in the end by nmlishness. Ho was a .mile who had seen service during the civil war and served for six years, enlisting in Missouri and being discharged, wiih the balance of Price's army, in Montana. He hod also served against Kiel in the Northwest, and had a commission offered him if he would go with the second contingent to South Africa, but fearing the sea voyage and hearing that mistakes of British officers were sometimes charged up against their allies, the mules, he declined tn servo, piefering lo remain and ...atch his military experience againat the tenderfoot from New York. It was North and South over again. All the cunning and shiftiness of the Yankee matched against the poor southern mule, who did not know when he was licked. At times Smith lett himself the conqueror, but just about thot lime his muleship would sit bsck in hia harness, reach for him with his front feot nnd there would ring out one of those beautiful imitations of a horse laugh for which tt-o mule family is famous. Ed. is still in search of his health in California, while the mule hauls wood and waits for another tenderfoot from the east. SLOCAN LAKE ORE SHIPMENTS.

One of our local mine managers buys hia supplies in Nelson, eels his miners from Wisconsin, carries his bank account in Saudon. buys bis meat in New Denver and gets bis coffee ground in Silverton. By th"s distributing hia patronage he has friends where ever he goes. A Nelson girl is displaying the following telegram to an envious circle of dearest friends, aa a proof ol tbe devotedneas and touching regard of her own Charlie, who had attended the Sandon Carnival with the hockey team. The telegram read: "Got mv aoae broken ; got to get it set. Do you prefer it Greek or Roman, darling?" "What kind of a tei low ia Brown?" "Ob, he's a fellow that Ml let you buy tbo first drink and then want to match you lor the next." If that woman down in Kansaa who broke the pictures in Ihe bar-room had wailed until a game waa innning and then broke the bank there would havo been some sense in it. The Carnival held in the Skating Rink here last Saturday night was even more- successful than the former-one: Abo°il forty masqueraders wore present and tho ice waa crowded with skaters. Many ot the fancy costumes wom showed that great pains had been taken in the preparation and tho task of judging proved to be difficult. The prize winners were: Miss McKinnon, best lady's costume; Mra. Matheson, best lady skater; J. Tinling, best fancy costume; W. Thompson, best skater. Miss Sarah Lawson, who appeared as "Tub Rilvkktokian," baa been presented with a year's subscription to this journal as a special prize.

The Silverion players, who attended the Carnival to play against Slocan City, were matched against Kaslo owing to Slocan's non-appearance. Tlio Kaslo team is made up of experienced players and their team work was loo much for the Silvertonisns, who had never played together Iiefore.

HJQ GERMAN STEAMSHIP LINE fi Popularity of American Shoes.'Ma- chlnery and Novelties—The Rubber Industry. Because ihey do not hurry in Zanzibar, it must not be^Junder- stood, as a lazy,-spot, writes £Allan Sangree in Ainslee's Magizine. Let none think that; on the contrary, it has now become a metropolis of east Africa and rarely a day passes but what the big bellied tramp ships fronVRangoon,^[Hamburg, Liverpool and New Vork discharges their cargo ^on ! the shelving beach and fill up again with the rich products'of the island and its mainland near by. This much to the poignant envy of Emperor William whose own possessions lie just across the channel, the metropolis of which, Dar es Salaam, is making every, effort to deflect thither the trade from Zanzibar. In no part^of the world are Germany and England contesting so bitterly for m commercial supremacy as on this African east coast, and the rivalry has now reached such a point of intensity as to be a cause of open rupture any moment. With the projection of railroads to the interior ; and ^"constant land grabbiug the two nations ire running a neck and neck race, and both, not to be outdone by the other, are sowing the earth with golden coin, in the hope that it will be returned ten fold as the land is developed. Germany, however, with her east African steamship line, that has now begun to circumnavigate the£dark ^continent, sailing from Hamberg weekly, is in the lead commercially, , and the ^English ministers, while wrestling with the Transvaal problem, can not afford to lose aught of, that one which confronts them furtherJnotth. In less than a decade the wily and sub'tle Teutons have subsidized this g-eat steamship company, now so prosperous'that every year it is enabled to build a new vessel out of the dividends; they have planted cloves, coffee and tea"[ plantations and made them pay; have exploited rubber companies, built two railroads, as against England's one, and have sent out hundreds of .colonists. * , America Not Idle. Meanwhile^America has not been idle, having seized two thirds of the petroleum trade, one half of the ivory trade, and doubled her shipment; of cotton cloth, an item that furnishes one quarter of all the yn- ports to Zanzibar. Yankees are landing every week, prospecting for American firms of every description, and on the coast one will find plenty of adventurers. While at dinner at the European hotel in Zanzibar the evening before I left, a great, red bearded person, with some blisters on his face and hands, sat down opposite and asked me, in a subterranean whisper, if 1 was not an American. On replying,affirmatively, he said, in a burst of confidence: "So'm I. Michigander—lumberman—'n' I got the greatest graft out here you ever saw. Just landed about $30,000 worth of teakwood about 30 miles below here, and if I can get it away from the hippo tots I'll go back to the states in style." He and his partner, he explained, had floated the wood down the river, and accidently ran into a hippopotamus family, whereupon both had to swim for their lives. They had come up from Zanzibar for guns and ammunition to rescue their property. The American Kl>«. As in other parts of tke world, one is humiliated to see no vessels carrying the American flag. Tin the last 12 months but two Maine sailing ships, and not American steam _-rs, landed at Zanzibar. Fortunately, however, this is no criterion of our commerce. At present no country can compete with us inr the so called piece goods trade, though the British council points out religiously each month to the home office that this is the most profitable, traffic in east Africa, and wants to know why the Manchester firms do not get after it. America, however, should widen her market, in this part of the globe with the exporting of hardware, building material, flour, provisions and all kinds of cheap cloth. "American" shoes, machinery and novelties are as popular on the east coast as below the Zambesi. The rubber industry, too, only waits to be developed,, the country being rich in that product. Zanzibar is a free port for all imports except liquors, arms, ammunition, tobacco and rice. At all coast ports the uniform duty is at 5 per cent ad volorem. Export duties are the same, aad the list ncludes rubber, ivory, cloves, hides, pepper, cocoanut, tea, coffee and many tropical products. These exports last year from Zanzibar amounted to $7,567,035. Of the imports, those of America fur one month amounted to more than the combined shipments of all Europe. Betur Times for Worklugnaea The following questions were sent to Mr. Edward Markham, at his home in feooklyn, who wrote answers especially for the Christian Herald. The lines quoted in two or three of the questions are from Mr. Markliam's collected poems, published by Doubleday, Page A Co., entitled "The Man with the Hoe and other Poems." 1 On what questions should all brnaches of labor unite for the good of the country? On the reduction of hours of labor per day; on compulsory arbitration; on the study, from humane motives, ofthe co-operative ideal in industry 2 In what way, or toward what end, should labor utilize its gigantic strength? They should resolutely will to come into harmony and unity of aim and aspiration; they should make appeal through the ballot box for an enlargement of the rights of man. They should strive to so organize the world as to keep open the gates of opportunity. 3. What opportunities should the new, century bring forth to the workingman? Security in his work and sufficient leisure from his work to give him time to cultivate his moral and aesthetic nature. 4. What effect, in your opinion, will great combinations of wealth have upon the workingman of the future? Will concentration of wealth, trusts, etc., preve a benefit to or a drawback to the working- man's progress? (ireat combinations of wealth will tend to make great counter combinations among the working classes. Trusts will be a decided drawback to the workingman's progress unless some means shall be lound to make them serve the good of the whole people, as now they serve the good of a few. 5. To what degree should the workingman be made a partner of wealth? If I understand your question, he should be made a full partner. In other words, he should receive the full value of the things he makes and does. of scant wages and prec. r.ons employment. 7. What kind of help,aside from higher wag*., does the laboring man need? He needs the contented mind that comes from security in his work and joy in his work. This necessarily carries the idea that he must have more leisure and more culture. 8. What would most help to lighten the toiler's burden? Co-operation in the place of competition in the industrial world. Co-operation is the logic of Christianity. 9. How can the government beet help the workingman? As a first step, by assuming control of railroads, telegraphs, etc. and so moving wisely on toward government ownership of all indus- tries_which in private hands have become a menace to the public good and public safety. 10.' What shouldjbe done with the idle millions? With^the great, army of men who want work and yet can find nothing to do? As first steps, they might well be employed by cities and slates, at living wages, upon public works. If enough work of that kind is not forthcoming, let the public powers establish shipyards and other industries sufficient to employ the willing It wasiu the yera 1886 that Martin Irons, as the chaiiman of the executive board of the Knights ot Labor of the Gould Southeastern Railway' system, defied capitalist tyranny, and from that hour he was doomed. All the capitalism combined to crush him, and when at last he succumbed to overwhelming odds he was hounded from place to place until he was ragged and footsore and the pange of hunger gntwed at his vitals. For 14 lorg years he fought single handed the battle of persecution. H* tramped far, and among strangers, under an assumed name, sought to earn enough to get bread. But he was tracked like a beast and hands. Of course, if we had a more driven from shelter. For this effective organization of industry, "poor wanderer of a stormy day" working time for the now idle could be found by cutting down the execesive hours at present forced upoe the overworked. Keep cutting down the hours of a day's work until everyone has work. 11. Are strikes, which are really battles between workmen and employer, helpful or harmful to the toiler? As a rule they are harmful to the toiler. But at times they seem to be cruel necessities. 12. Would the toiler'/benefit if, instead of striking, he submitted his grievances to the general government or to a labor department, regulated by law and having a minister of labor in the president's cabinet? Would not this be a better way for the workingman, for the settlement of differences between employer and employed? Yes, labor should be represented in the cabinet by fan ; intelligent laborer; not by a parlor farmer£nor by a retired capitalist. The method you suggest of settling strikes would be a decided improvement upon'the^present nap-hazard,^ plan. MARTIN IRONS Tribute Paid to His Memory By Eugene V. Debs HOUNDED TO HIS DEATH Because He Fought the Battles of Labor--Deserted By Those He Served. "The com- 6. In one of your poems, Man Under the Stone," you pare a workingman to a man going through life pushing a great »tonc always up hill. What is the workingman's real burden—what is the real stone of his up-hill life? The great stone is his unequal struggle for bread today, still further weighted with the fear of penury tomorrow and the dread of a destitute old age. All this,of course, springs out of the narrow margin ft 13. "Their blind feet drift in the darkness, and no one is leading." What kind of ltaders do the toilers need? They need leaders with the white purity of a St. Francis and the iron resolution ot a Cromwell, leaders whose watchword shall be "God and the people!" Such men were Joseph Mazzini and John Ruskin. 14. How can the church best help tlife "brother to the~ox?"*How reach him, lift him up? By studying the anxious problems of economics and finding a way of applying the golden rule to industry. 15. And working women? Have we a "sister to the ox?" How should she be ranched, uplifted—her burden lightened? Yes, we have a "sister to the ox." Men and women rise and fall to- getknr. In general,the same means that will lift and lighten man's hurdae will alleviate woman's burden also. 16. Do churches and church workers neglect the working people? Do they pay enough attention to the factory centers and great industrial towns? Na, churches do not give enough attention to these matters. Indeed, the burning question in each church today should be the social problem. The saving of men's souls is closely connected with the amelioration of their social and industrial conditions. The church needs a new baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is the same as saying Social Spirit. there was no pity. He had stood between his class and their oppressors; he was brave and would not flinch ;-he was honest and would not sell. This was. his crime and he must die. Martin Irons came to this country Irom Scotland a child. He was friendless, penniless, alone. At an early age he became a machinist. For years he worked at his trade. He had a clear head and a warm heart. He saw and felt the injus- ice suffered by his class. Thre e reductions in rapid succession fired his blood. He resolved to resist. He appealed to his fellow workers. When the great strike came, Martin Irons was its central figure. The men knew they could trust him. They were not mistaken, n When at the darkest hoar Jay Gould sent word to Martin Irons that he wished to see him, the answer came, "I am in Kansas Oity." Gould did not have gold enough to buy lions. This was his greatest crime. The press united in fiercest denunciation. Every lie that malignity could conceive was coined and circulated. In the popular mind Martin Irons was the blackest hearted villain that ever went unhung. Pinkerton bloodhounds were on his track night and day. But through it all this honest, fearless, high minded workingman stood immovable. The courts and soldiers responded to the command of their masters, the railroads, the strike was crushed and the workingmen were beatep, Martin Irons had served, suffered for and honored his class. But he had lost. His class turned against him and join in the execration of the enenmy. This pained him more than all else. But he bore even this without a murmur, and if ever a despairing'sign was wrung from him it was when he was alone. And thus it has been all along the highway of the centuries, from Jesus Christ to Martin Irons. Let it not be said that Irons was not crucified. For 14 years he was nailed to the cross and no martyr of humanity "ever bore his crucifixion with manlier fortitude. He stood the taunts and jeers and all the bitter mockery of fate with patient heroism, and even when the poor, dumb brutes whose wounds and bruises he would have swathed with his heart strings, turned upon and rent him, pity sealed his lips ahd silent suffering wrought for him a martyr's crown. Martin Irons was hated by al that were too ignorant to base to understand him. He died despised, yet will he live beloved. No president of the United States gave or tendered him a public office in testimony of his service to the working class. The kind of service he rendered was too honest and respectable, too human to be popular. • The blow he struck for his class will preserve his memory. In the. great struggle for emancipation he nobly did his share, and the history of labor cannot be Written without his name. He was an agitator and as such shared the common fate of all Jesus Christ, Joan of Arc, Elijah Lovejoy, John Brewn, Albert Parsons and many others set the same example and paid the same penalty. For the reason that he was a despised agitator and shunned of men too mean and sordid to conceive the lofty motive that inspired him will be remembered with tenderness and love long after the last of his persecutors shall have mol- dered in a forgotten grave. It waa In Af ril, 1899, in Waco, Tex., that I last "pressed this comrade's hand. He bore the traces of poverty and broken health, but his spirit was intrepid as when he struck the shield of Hoxie 13 years before, and when he spoke of socialism he seemed transformed, and all the smouldering fires within him blazed once more from his sunken eyes. I was pained but not surprised when I read that he had "died penniless ia ao obscure Texas town." It is his glory and society's shame that he died that way.

An inventive genius at CeMkx, Washington, has invented a machine drill that is said to do as much work as eight men. The machine is operated by one man, who simply turns a crank, which revolves a wheel to which is attached four 4-pound hammers, which strike the drill with terrific force, each blow being harder than that struck by a man. By turning the crank at a moderate rate, 316 blows are struck by the hammers in one minute. This is said te be the work of eight able bodied men. A number of mining merMefce have seen the machine work see* it will revolutionize mining and will greatly lessen the present cost ot drilling thereby making many low grade properties proitable mines. The machine is made entirely of iron and weighs but 125 pjunds.—Paystreak. Re< rulia for China. The North German Lyod steamer H. H.

There be times in the lives of nation* when the services of the brnv- and best—both intellectually L physically-** required for its -reservation. This applies to all Laoisstions. of whatever kind. That time seems to have arrived as regards the present and future wel- f,re of the laboring classes of this . — —_, nothing about his expenses in the meantime. But it has been said that the average production of the worker in this country equals $1800 a year. A million dollars at these figures requires the labor of one average producer S55 5-9 years. This is a good long time for a person to work. And while it is a tact that the rich live longer than the poor, the difference can hardly be so much. Let us assume that those who are lich have greater powers of production than those who remain poor, and let us assume further that the rich live long enough to enjoy 70 years in the production of wealth. Each one who accumulated a million dollars would, therefore, have to produce $14,285.71 a year, or more than seven times as much as the average producer. it is impossible for any one person to produce seven times as much as the average producer; it is improbable that anyone would have that sum given to him by its producers; and if it is not produced or given as a gift, how is it procured? The conclusion is inevitable. The rightful ownership of a million dollars through the labor of any one person is impossible.—Joseph A. Labadie in Detroit News Tribune. buildings, cultivated ftelds.animals, vessels, railroads, etc. Let us be generous with the pro ducers and pay them the wages of congressmen, viz: $5000 a year, and then they would each have to live and work 200 years to earn a million dollars.to say nothing about accumulating it.

With cspital firmly entrenched in the halls of legislation, with the institutions of learning bent to the will of the plutocrats, with church, school and judgment hall under their absolute dominion, and the press shackled with a golden chain, there is no doubt of the intentions of the capitalists nor ot the rate of labor unless the latter is aroused to a recognition of its pei ils. The difficulty is not in misunderstanding what capital want, but in a clear comprehen- sion of what labor proposes to do. There are multitudes of organizations, all pretending to work for the elevation of the laboring people, som ein the political field, others in the industrial field, all claiming that they are doing everything possible under present conditions of society. There is, however, an apparent lack of cohesion and co-operat,on between the different organized bodies of labor, the cause therefor being hard tc understand. If they are all animated with the common purpose of honestly trying to work for tha elevation of the toilers, it ought certainly not to be so very difficult to agree upon a plan wheieby this could be carried into effect. Capital agrees upon all points, and experiences no difficulty in combining when confronted with the demands of labor and the labor question. Why should it not be as easy for the toilers to agree, knowing as they do that their very existence depends upon their own powers of combination? Is it possible that the pretenses of labor are false, and that the cry for liberty is but a hypocritical vaporing? The powers and energies of the labor movement must be directed toward the unification and solidification of the organized workers. We are not pessimists, but we believe in looking at conditions as they present themselves, and that evil conditions exist none will have the hardihood to deny. The remedy may be difficult of application, but it must be applied, as it is imperative; sacrifices must be made and old and cherished pol'c'es ma) have to be abaodoned for the sake of the cause for which labor contends. It should not be more difficult to agree with a friend than to be compelled to accept the degrading conditions of an enemy. Tht hopes for future improvement is the conditions ot labor rest largely upon the intelligence and loyalty ef the whole labor movement rather than upon the intellectual superiority of a few. Leaders are neces- sary in all movements. What the labor movement needs are more ltaders of broad and comprehensive vitws and power to grasp and cope with present conditions, men of sterling qualities and tolerant in their ideas, who are able and willing to adapt themselves to ever-chang- ■ag conditions. Labor's success rests upon its ability to agree and rally round one common standard and to wield its combined strength »» a single and powerful whole.— Coast Seamen's Journal. HOB!! ON THE TRAIN Portland ffwnatSara Birth to Twins OB O. H. * N. Filer. Early yesterday morning while the Portland flier on the O. R. & N. was speeding through southeastern Washington twin babies were born of one of its passengers, Mrs. P. T. Bulger of Portland, Ore. Mother and little ones now occupy a pleasant cot at Sacret Heart hospital, and the father, a shipbuilder in the employ of the Canadian Pacific at Nelson, B. C, is on his way to Spokane. Mrs. Bulger left Portland in com pany with her niece, Miss Silcox, bound for Nelson to join her hus- With her companion she should be immediately arrested though. Where is an officer?" .

Mrs. Nation at last found refuge in the rooms of the Topeka Capital, where the crowd was not allowed to enter. Here, surrounded by reporters and newspaper correspondents, she detailed the story ot her experiences and what she expected to do in the future.

"Competition is impossible where comb nation is possible." This will throw out ot emyloyment some thousands of well dressed men and women of good address, and they will have time to think about what the industrial conditions are leading to. Only the narrow- minded longer believe in individual effort, with its waste and personal backbitings. Men who see things as they are, who have mind enough to gather any considerable wealth, know that combination beats competition every time, and they are willing to give their "individuality" for the cash dividends held out by corporate management. The little fellows must go. I believe it would be better to have the public do the insutance at cost and the money- left in the pockets of the people that will go to the combination, but the payers do not see it that way and will be skinned.—Appeal to Reason. the train reached Colfax, when it. became necessary to call for assistance from the other women passengers, and all that conditions of travel would permit was done for Mrs. Bulger by her fellow tourists. By the time the train reached Spokane Mis. Bulger had been made comfortable and the infants had been wrapped snugly in blankets and placed in the special care of a coterie of women. Ambulance Waited Her*. Conductor McGilvary had telegraphed ahead of his train for aid lor the helpless trio and when the train pulled into the Spokane yards an ambulance and physicians were waiting for them. Under the direction of Superintendent Adams of the Union depot the sleeper was detached and run up to the Washington street crossing, where Mrs. Bulger was transferred.to the ambulance. Under the direction "of Dr. James B. Munley of the railway staff, Miss Silcox and a number of sympathetic women were given charge of • the twins for the trip to the hospital, where the little family was reunited. The children are big, plump and rosy and have every chance for a long life, despite their untoward advent to existence. Mrs. Bulger has a number of relatives in this city, who have been notified of her arrival here. She is a young woman and handsome. Throughout her trying experience yesterday she maintained good temper and cheerfulness. The physicians say she will soon be able to resume her journey to Nelson or to return to her home.

Tht Wire or a Topeka Julutlat Did the Jab. Mrs. Carrie Nation caused a flurry among the joint keepers of Topeka, Kan., last Saturday night, and as a result knows What it is to be roughly treated by a mob. Mrs. Nation arrived in Topeka at 6:40 and immediately hunted up a newspaper reporter with a request that she be shown some of the leading joints of the city. Two newspaper men volunteered to pilot her around. She said she did not wish to begin a smashing crusade, but wanted to talk to the jointists. The keepers of the saloons had been apprised of her intention, and when she arrived at Ed Myers' joint on Kaunas avenue she was confronted by the wife of that individual, who rained blow alter blow on her head with a broomstick, while Myers stood by and encouraged the effort. By this time a crowd of a thousand people had gathered, among whom were numerous sympathizers of Mrs. Nation. Nobody attempted to interfere and soon the jointists' wife stopped her assault. Mrs. Nation said she was not hurt by her experience in the least. "What does a broomstick amount to?" she inquired, "to one who has been so much used to rawhides, rocks and rotten eggs? That woman - Union Wreckers. A good deal is said in union meetings and labor papers about the bosses who are te-med Union Wreckers., but the worst wreckers of unionism are men inside the organization. One hypocrite inside does more harm than a dozen open enemies on the outside. These outside wreckers are of several types. There is the man who is more interested in currying favor with some political boss lhan he is in the advancement of the interest of those who work. He keeps his political master secretly informed of all that is bein * done by the organization, and if anything is contemplated which will be likely to injure the party, he helps to plan some way of defeating the aims of the working- man, and then goes into the meetings and on the streets and serves his master and sacrifices the union. Another type of Union Wreckers are the men who seek to get personal advantages by tricky methods in connection with union matters. Usually these fellows are just well enough imformed to be able to make a show of knowledge, and for a time they are able t* deceive those who are not keen enough to see through their superficial pretenses. They are afraid to openly antagonize those who are thoroughly informed, and so they go around circulating dirty insinuations about the motives of others, and making loud boasts of their own devotion and sincerity. They tear down others in hope of elevating themselves. Their underhand and sly methods make it very difficult to expose their crookedness, and oft times they do so much harm before being forced out that an organization is ruined by their treachery and tricks in spite of all that the genuine workers can do. Jealously and egotism are also characteristics of a class of Union Wreckers. Incapable of holding places of responsibility themselves, they are jealous of any who because of their abilities take a leading part, and the work of these men is to belittle and misrepresent every man who is progressive and active. The egotists imagine they know it all, and they want all the credit. There are others who help to wreck unions by doing nothing. They are a drag, and it takes more effort to keep them up than to get new members. They are usualy the most chronic fault-finders. Nothing suits. They will not help nor will they let others do anything if they can prevent. The inside wreckers put on such deceiving appearances usually that the general membership does not know of their crooked ways, but a man who tries to run a labor paper finds them out. If he does not oppose their scheme everything is lovely, but let him make a move to expose the crookedness of oie of them and there is trouble. About the first thing is "stop my paper." Then they start a boycott. They tell others that "the paper is no good anyway; tbere is nothing in it, and the editor is a crook," etc., etc. Seldom do they come out openly, but do their boycotting and "backbiting slyly and in whispered slings and insinuating side glances. Being mostly cowards as weii as hypocrites, they are afraid to openly defame the editor, and so they sneakicgly circulate thir insinuations and lies. Running a paper is a thankless task at best. The indifference of many makes it hard to get paying support even in cities where unionism is well advanced, but this difficulty can be overcome by active efforts. Some men do not realize the great help a labor paper is to the movements even though it is small in size. In the great majority of cases the min who conducts a paper is an enthusiast in the cause, and though they all make mistakes, the intention is to do the cause of labor the most good possible. When the indifferent realise the necessity and importance ot having a paper that will, when trouble arises, present the laborer's side in a fair and honest way, they give their support to the local paper even though not at all times agreeing with its management or what it says, but the "wreckers" are of an entirely different stamp. Just as soon as the labor editor disagrees with them in the smallest particular they do all they can to injure him and take support from his paper. One of the tactics thev use is to influence, those who have job work to take it to some enemy of the union movement rather than to the labor paper oflice. Most labor papers depend on the profits of job work to make up the loss on the paper, and il the unions would use their influence to get work of this kind for a labor oflice it would bt tht means of giving the unions a much better paper. It is time that labor paper publishers insisted upon having justice done them by the union members. The paper that is run in the interest of the labor movement is entitled to the support of all union men, even though it does not at all times please each individual member. Were it not for the labor press the labot movement would not be what it is today and any man who tries to injure a labor paper is a traitor to the cause. If you do not agree wifh the policy of the paper go to the oflice and say so in a manly way, but don't go around throwing out slurs and petty insinuations. Perhaps you are wrong and the paper is right. If the paper has made a mistake you can depend npon it that a correction will be cheerfully printed. Corporations give their organ loyal support, and if labor is to be successful in securing justice, labor papers must be supported,—From the Trades Union journal.

A Berlin dispatch says the report circulated in the United States that Emperor William had signified his displeasure because the reich- stag and diet did not adjourn when the news of Queen Victoria's death was received, is absolutely without foundation in fact. The New York World published this week what it claims to be e well authenticated interview with Aguinaldo, obtained by an American, a trusted agent of Carlos Ru- bino, a prominent merchant ot Manila. It was forwarded here through the mail. Aguinaldo was found in the Filipino capital by Senor Rubino's agent. "My letters to Aguinaldo," said the ngent, "were carefully scrutinized by him. As they were from those whom he knew to be his trusted friends he received me without restraint or hesitation. I remained there for four days and was the recipient of his full confidence and had from him the most unreserved expression of his sentiments and purposes, as well as his ideas concerning the condition of his country and the great struggle now going on there. I was astonished at his knowledge of the history of the United States and its great statesmen. The subject of amnesty was gone over thoroughly. I asked him if he would accept amnesty offered by the commissioners sent by the United States. He replied: 'No, I will not accept amnesty. I would not trust them. I have forgotten the professions of friendship and ot support given me by Dewey and Otis and all of them, and especially Wildman. My army fought with and tor then, to defeat the Spanish, and promises most solemnly given that we were to have independence were made. All these solemn promises have been repudiated by them all. No slavery and obedience to the will of McKinley.' . People Will Not Maud for It. " 'How about the people?' I asked 'Do you not believe the condition of your people would be improved if they accepted amnesty now offered?' 'No.' he replied. 'To accept amnesty means shame, infamy, slavery, degradation. Personally it means imprisonment for me. What else am I to expect and what for my poor people—serfdom? What would your forefathers have said of George Washington had he accepted amnesty from George. III? He fought from 1776 to 1782 and all offers of amnesty were treated with scorn. He fought right. You ask me what I want. I reply, liberty, the right of the Filipinos to govern themselves—a government of cur own.' " 'But,' I said, 'here are assurances—' 'Assurances and promises,' he interposed with great warmth, 'given only to be disregarded and repudiated. I tell you I will never trust them. Nor will my people. Never! Say to them that their amnesty will not be considered. My people would never respect tne were 1 to do so.' " 'Then it may be war for many years,' I said. 'You must know that the government is strong and rich.' 'Unquestionably,' he replied, 'and it may be a long and terrible struggle for liberty. But until thc Filipino nation shall have a government of its own this war will go on. I believe that were there a change of administration we would gain our freedom. We will have a republic patterned mainly alter that of the United States. The original system is admirable but not as admistered now.'

It was only last session that one of the English members from Quebec said daring tho debate on the Chinese head tax that such legislation was onlv worthy of enactment by Boers or Boxer. ^jDhe report of a Commission composed of men who represent the pro- Chinese, the neutral and anti-Chinese elements should have, apd we believe will have much to do ii> determining the stand that the majority in the House cl Commons will take when the matter finally comes up. And for this leason the Labor Party is vitally interested in having on that poniiuiisioii one in whom they can repose perfect confidence. The tact that the Paystreak recognises the danger of Chinese immigration is not uroof positive that the Dominion at large recognizes it. We cannot afford to think that wo are of such paramount importance that laws will be enacted by the members at Ottawa at our request without the reason being made plain. The report of the Commission, if in favor of excising Mongolians,, as lt can hardly fail to be, will be the weapon with which our members can light for the act desired. B'animiuw'jr'1 '-"■■ as ln thn matter of Chinese immigration The Sn.TERTONiAN.liaa never been an apologist for employers of the yellow men nor for the actions of the governments which permitted such immigration. But we have always recognized the truth of the assert! in that the people of Eastern Canada were never in a position to realise the extreme gravity of the question and in their present state of mind would not allow of the passing of any Chinese exclusion legislation. It it true that this matter has awakened a more general interest out of Winnipeg in the, last few years, thanks to the Constant agitation of the Western press, but the strong opposition lately shown in the House of Cptyimqivi to the doubling o' the head tax on immigrating Chinese, an opposition thoroughly sincere, shows that much more must be done before a majority of the members of Parliament will ait as we would wish in the matter. The Sandon Paystreak, in its Ust ittue, asks us several questions in this matter of Mongolian exclusion, only one of which we need answer to jusnfy our contentions regarding the Chinese Commission. That paper asks: "Why does this Government, in the face of the obvious certainty that Mongolians are undesirable, waste time with a Commission!" The simple fact thst the certainty tbat Mongolians are undesirable is by no means obvious in tho East is the reason, and a most excellent one, for the being of the Commission. Tlm law makers from Ontario, Quebec and ' the Marintine Provinces are not, as a body, in favor of excluding Mongolian!, whom they and their constituents look upon as curiosities rather than as menaces. The average man in the eastern counties does not care whether an exclusion act is passed or net, hut the ministry is violently opposed to such a measure, at least those who have spoken or written of the matter have a- dopted that tone. With them the sentimental and not the practical side of the question is prominent. And although thn clergy of Canada seldom take np a political question, it is quite Safe to say that, with their present limited knowledge of the matter, tbey would combat vigorously any attempt to knep out tbe Mongolian immigrant' With an indifferent constituency their influence would turn many a vote u* the House, where the members And now the missionaries are objecting to the treaties made by the Powers with China. They wish to have lhe Chinese more severely punished and have still harsher measures taken with them. They are not satisfied that more than one million innocent men, women and little children have been robbed, ravished murdered and starved for the crimes committed by a few fanatical Chinese. Surely these missionaries, if not the actual perpetrators of these diabolical outrages, are accessories, having stood calmly by, raising neither hand nor vpice to stop it, und now thut the brutal soldiery bas become glutted aud sickened with murdering unarmed and unresisting yellow men, they, tbe professed teachers of Christianity, clamor for still more blopd.

Some method by which local improvements could be assessed against the property owners or paic| from local taxation without an expensive civic government is what is required in many places. Silverton and Slocan among the rest At the present time all the roud repairing and grading and the sidewalk building done here has been paid for by private subscription, while tho siibscribers have been paying taxes and licences which go to repair sidewalks and roads in other towns. John Houston, member f°r the Nelson Riding, favors such a plan, of which he is more or less the originator. Should lie introduce such A measure in the house during the coming session he would undoubtedly receive a substantial backing. If it were possible to adopt at thn same time some system of county boundaries for the maintenance and building of roads and trails, much of the present dilatoriness in that line throughout thn mining districts could lie done away with. The system of sending all monies collected in taxes and licences to Vi< t ria and distributing it from there leaves room for too many leaks. If the presmt mining divisions were allowed to expend a portion of the monies collected within their boundaries for roud building, end a Board of Commissioners elected to look ufter such expenditure much more value for the money woii'd be received than by the present system of spending money where the ••pull" was strpngesc.
