Sibbald Characterized as Un-British, Unjust and Cruel���������The Reason That the Position Was Wanted by a Friend of the Government is an Aggravation of the , Wrong. The REVELBTOKE Heuai.d is furiously angry over the dismissal .of Mr. Sibbald, which it designates as a "dirty piece of business." Mr. Sibbald is gold commissioner for the Revelstoke district, anil a few days ago, ns our dispatches informed us, was advised by the provincial secretary to have his resignation ready by the loth inst.., the executive committee having "reason to believe that the retention of his services as the representative of thegovernment.it Revelstoke woulel not conduce, to the best interest of the district." Dismissed in this unceremonious fashion and with these words Mr. Sibbald is obliged to go out under a cloud. The language used in tht" official communication contains a reflection of his character as a member of the British Columbia civil service. There is no distinct charge, the public being left to surmise .what they please. This is not the way to conduct the government affairs of tliisipiovitice. If there were any charges of-misconduct or incompetency, the least that decency and fair play demanded was that Mr. Sibbald should have been informed of them. Then, if he could not explain -them away or defend himself, let hiin be di.siniss.ed. But to be thrown out without, a word of explanation, and in language that leaves a stigma on his - character, is un-British, unjust anel cruel. It is ���������suggested, and no doubt with good reason, that his place was wanted by some friend of the' government. . That is* so far from being an excuse that it is an aggravation of the wrong... It is but another instance of the odious spoils system. " Good citizens of all parties should _ raise up tlieir voices against-..- tlin introduction * into ibis province*, of that supreme political 'abomination. If we are tobe indebted to the Semlin government for the acclimatising of that noxious plant of United States politics, the time will come when it will be remembered with n. curse. And if the people are tei prevent this misfortune, they will require to discountenance the system iind protest with honest indignation against every practice of it-. This is somethingniore than a party affair. The respectability and efficiency ~of the civil service are involved and every honest citizen of the province must feel conceirnetl as to these.��������� Nelson Miner. A FABLE, How a Wise Man Played Such Sweet Music Upon, Political Wires That so Dumbfounded His Friends That He TROUT LAKE UP IN ARMS Against J. D. Sibbald's Outrageous Dismissal��������� An Indignation Meeting and a Resolution. Imtiieeliately on receipt of the news of the dismissal of J. D. Sibbald from the position of gold commissioner an indignation meeting of residents and free miners was convened. D. L. Clink was elected chairman and Dan Kean, secretary. The following resolution was unanimously adopted at the meeting which comprised supporters of'Jiothsides of the house"'" Whereas Mr. J. D. Sibbald has been government agent and gold commissioner in the North Riding of West Kootenay for the past year and has given universal s-itisfaction to the residents and free miners of this division in that capacity, and whereas he has been dismissed from that office without any definite reasons being given; Resolved:���������That ive. the residents and free miners of Trout Lake mining division beg to request that ti parliamentary investigation beheld to enquire into the causes of his dismissal from office. Anel be it further resolved theit"copies of these resolutions be sent to the Mon. O. E. Semlin. premier; Mr. J. M. Kellie, M.P.P., and Mr. J. D. Sibbald. v * MR. TISDALL EXPLAINS He Was Not Opposed to Bill to Prevent Speedy Trial of Election Petitions.'-' - Vancouver, Jan. 11.--Mr. Tisdall cemsented this morning to explain the reason of his resignation from the legislature. He said that lie had issued instructions , to his clerk, not to soil goods to any government official. In spite of these instructions, on the 22nd of lieceuiber a clerk in his employ sold seventy cents worth of cartridges to Provincial Police Officer , Campbell residing here. Officer Campbell got a receipt for the money and sent it to Victoria, eis an expeuse. 'voucher on Jan navy ei.' " On January 7th it reached Victoria. On Monday, while, .talking to the 'Attorney-General regarding the proposed jissay office this voucher was produced and handed to' ine. There was but one course open to me���������to resign. I did so at once. A writ will be issued immediately and I will go to the people 11 strong supporter of the Semlin government. It was not opposed to the election bill, voting for it on the first reading, theiefore my resignation had nothing to do 'with the bill. KELLIE WHITEWASHED" BUT THE'COAT OF KALSOMINE IS THIN Was Able to Work "Them for a Snap (Written for tho Herald by Swemipiey). . CHAPTER I. Once upon a time tliere lived in a town away off in the mountains a man I who kept a hardware store, anil who also dabbled . in other lines such as drygooels and groceries. -After many years of varied sui'cess this person found himself doing a very small liusiness-nnd taking in next to nothing. Being cunning as, a fox nnel not overburdened with 'honorable principles, and, to wit, a great friend of a wonderful wise man who kept being sent afar to confer, with, other wise men of his day, and learning that in thc early part of a certain' year great amounts of money were to be spent In his district, which money wan given to this district by the great wise man anel his friends. This wily fox did play for 11 timo upon certain wires music that was pleasant to the ear of the wise man and his friends, and in order to better play this tune did neglect his drygoods business, and did transfer the management of his hardware and grocery trade, "but did still retain his interest in them" to certain young and unwise men, and thus having so much "time to play sweet music opon the wires, with- which he had been familiar from youth, it came about that tho wise man and his. triends were enchanted by the music, to such adegree. and were so pleased with it, that they did offer to-grant any request that lhis wily old fox might make. lie, being bashful, did not ask for too much at first, but offered to take any good commission that might turn up; and a goe-d commission was given to him. So he retired into his den to practice more upon the wives, so that when the great sums of money had arrived he eoulel by his wired music weave more great spells about the great wise man and his friends.

In response to a hand bill urging the ��������� people of Revelstoke nut to comroifc- financial suicide quite a- large gather- ��������� ing turned up at.Tappiug's opera- house on Wednesday evening. No--* body, it is true, had any intentiou of- committing suicide, fln'.-incial or other-* wise, but these are days of marvels and portents, and the people flocked ���������' together to find out what this new-"' sign might mean. It turned out to', be 11 public meeting, of the real olei-' fashioned kind, once'comnion enough ��������� in Revelstoke, but which of. late days- there has been very little opportunity*,- of attending. All the old familiar-' faces were there, all the old grievances- were trotted out, nil the old sores-, exposed. XV. A. Nettle was'. chosen���������.' chairman. It appeared thatjMr.-- Kellie had selected hiin of all the- people in town as his confidant and'-- fchat he was in .possession of a letter-" from that gentleman giving his- reasons for his position on incorporation.' The letter was substantially the same-as "the message received*." from Mr. Brewster by the board of"' trade, em receipt of which that body- had already decided to defer incorpor-���������* ation for a time, so that much ofits*' interest was already discounted. In' the1 discussion P. R. Peterson, S.~ Neeelham, T. L. Haig, R. Tapping. T.-U Lewis, J. Perrin and others engaged.-* Their remarks elid not appear to tfavo* much bearing on the subject of the-; evening, which was'th'e.whitewashing;* of Mr. Kellie apparently, but they still' were not without interest." P. R. Peterson demanded to know", what had become, of his title deeds,... seeming to be under the impression*' that the chairman, very possibly.had. them in his pocket. S. Needhani's .remarks were nofc"- very intelligible. ~ They were understood to have reference* to some meet- - ing Held in terwn six yearsago. T. L. Haig apologized for the ��������� position taken by the board of trade on the incorporation question. At - the same time he took the opportunity "-- of dissociating himself as a private- individual from the vote passed by the majority of the board. ^ *' R. Tapping considered that an**1 injustice had been done to him when ��������� * he was not elected a member of the - council of tbe board of trade.' T. Lewis twitted the -Herald with'- flopping on the incorporation question. At the same time it was a good paper and he was always glad to see it and - ��������� pay for it ? After a" lot of talk a resolution - endorsing Mr. Kellie's position on the incorporation question was put to the meeting. -About thirty-five out of it. house of at least three hundred voted _* for~it7-iThe-baiance~did^notap~pa"renlly~ consider the meeting of , sufficient ���������. importance to give themselves even- the trouble to vote at it. Mr. Kellie - eun- take what comfort he can out eif *" this enthusiastic endorsation of his- policy. v- ��������� The Grippe- New York and other eastern cities are in somewhat of a panic because of an outbreak of grippe. There is a discussion among physicians as to whether tive iliscise is- contagious or not, some holding that it is due tn the development of germs which we all enrry in our system, anil others that itis communicated hy contact with infected people; However this miiy be in point of fact, ;������U thc doctors are agreed" that in view of the previ- 'Ionce of the disease, all persons ought to sec that their general health- is in the best possible condition. This is pretty gooel advice- to give and take under any ciiciiinstances. but it is specially good during the prevalence of any epidemic. Many persons quite misunderstand what grippe is like. It is moie than a heavy cold. It is something that takes holel of a man and is apt to stay l������y him- for a long time. Sometimes the effects remain for months after the acute stage, of the siekness has passed*. We mention-this so' that people- wilt not be unduly alarmed if they happen- to- get even a bad cold. At tbe same-time we repeat the warning of the New York physicians to avoiel excesses ejf- ail kinds to,watch the diet, so as te> see that tho system is kept in good tone. Tf you do-this you will not regret, it, evenif grippe does not come your way.���������Colonist. Police Court (Belore J. D. Sibbalel, SAi.) J. C. Jones came up before J: D.

SATURDAY, JANUARY ? M, *1S09. DIVISION OR DISSENSION From The Cal&ary Herald Looking at the future of the Territories from the broadest standpoint aud apart from the interests of any particular town it must be self-evident that the policy of wisdom calls for an amicable division at the outset in order to avoid the possibility ol dissension later on. There are questions which if the Territories should by any misfortune) be organized as one unwieldy province would inevitably breed discontent. The railway problem is one of these. The interestes of Alberta demand a railway connecting Edmonton and Calgary with the transcontinental- systems to the south? Let? no mistake be made on this point. A southern railway is as essential to the prosperity of the western half of the Territories as the building of?the C. P. lt. was to the prosperity of . the Dominion. .The eastern half is fairly well served in this respect. It has tho Northern Pacific connecting at Bran don, only a few miles to the east, and the Soo line running south east from Pasqua. Would Assiniboia and Saskatchewan consent to a provincial'.?subsidy."- for Alberta's railway? AVe fancy they Would not, at least not without ex pecting a quid pro quo. Then there are the.���������������������������: vast interests involved in the development of Irrigation. These will reeiuire generous treatment at the hands of the new province. The eastern half of the Territories, not requiring; irrigation and riot being able to secure "It anyway, would scarcely regard with favor any considerable proposition involving the expenditure���������uf���������provincial capital or provincial revenues on irrigation enterprises. The stand its people would be likely to take was sufficiently foreshadowed by the hostility of Eastern Assiniboia newspapers towards irrigation when that movement was new. Their contention then" ���������was';1 Is now, and probably will be. that the lands which do not require irrigation should be first settled and irrigation relegated "to the uncertain future. Sueih a position is probably satisfactory from their point ol view. It is not from ours. The interests of Alberta and Eastern Assiniboia or Manitoba are as much at variance: as those ot }Ion- tana and Minnesota. The proposition to tie.: them, up in an unwilling provincial partnership for-all time is as ridiculous anil illogical as it would have been to erect Minnesota, Dakota and Montana into one State. The mining, ranching and irrigation features of Alberta and the Medicine Hat elistrict are analogous to the same features of Montana. Similarly the interests of the eastern half of the country are analogous to those of Minnesota and Dakota. The Moosomin Spectator builds an argument on the relative positions cf New York and Pennsylvania anel the smaller States adjoining. "In the American Union." it says, 'we find very large states with very small sister states closely joining them. New York and Pennsylvania have areia. wealth, and population laf beyond many of "their sister states, but they are not crying for division. Both of these states too have their capital- very one sided. Pennsylvania has as its capital a city not only bn its extreme boundary, but far inferior to other cities in the state. It might have been better for the smaller states had their areas been larger, but it can scarcely be urged that it would have been better for the larger states had their areas been smaller." The comparison Is the reverse of obvious. Alberta alone is more than twice the size of either New Y'ork or Pennsylvania- The area of the four Territories���������Alberta, Athabasca, Assiniboia and Saskatchewan is greater than that of New York, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Indiana. Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky all lumped together, with several othor smaller states thrown in. , The farming district tributary to Moosomin contains more acres than whole states in the Amorican Union. The Spectator will, have to find justor comparisons'and stronger arguments before it can convert the people of Alberta to its Utopian scheme. The same paper thinks The Herald's objections to ono province Would vanish "like snow before an April shower" (sic) if Calgary wore mailo tlio capital. They woultl nol. The dilliculties would then be seriously iiicreaseil. This part of the new prov- iiu-o would thon have tu fnco not only tlio .dissimilar and unsympathetic in- te_i"esls t.f the oast half but the envious disappointment of either towns. "A "woman scorned" would not bo In .it with tho chagrined jealousy of places like the Pile 0' Italics, if Calgary gol. tlio capital. As a niattei" of fact while Calgary is not goiiiy; to turn up her nose at being off creel the capital, it is something which is by no means essential lo her prosperity. Being tho capital does not of itself make a place either wealthy or populous aiu! Calgary is -'destined to be both whether she gets the capital or not. Papers liko The Spectator do this place an injustice iri eternally harping on its alleged hankering after the capital. It woulel be just as manly in discussing this question ��������� to leavo; out the attributing of petty and sordid motives. Can't Tho Spectator understand lhat it is possible for even a Calgary journal I.o entertain some feeling of respect for the interests of the country at large?. Wc arc ?iiot worrying about tlio capital. If Calgary deserves the capital she will get .'it; .whether .it is one province or two, but wo venture to think we have given good and sufficient; reasons for our belief that the policy of making one big, unwieldy contentions and overwhelmingly predominating province in thc Federal .family is.._ unwise, inistates- manlikc and unbusinesslike.

A minister does not need to be in the pulpit while engaging in a private chat. A parishioner's nerves wont stand that sort of thing all the time. As Robert Louia Stevenson well salel: "Cheerfulness and gentleness, these are .the prime virtues." ��������� if ������ '��������� ������ * We woulel like to call attention to the evils of cigarette smoking by the kid element.

Now then, como em.' somebody, nnel tell us to stop chewing. * * * We wore just calculating the other day in the office, taking Into account, the various publications which by special arrangement, publish our weekly graft, of what. .Ir. Lowe calls utter rot. anel found that, we have a weekly audience of over 10,000 readers. And yet we have not got the beretta. As the eminent Cardinal was frank with us, and as ho somewhat inopportunely extolled the art of bold outspokenness we will say, In company with almost all "liis congregation (It they will admit it. which of course propriety and tradition w*ill prevent their doing), that Tod Sloan is mora interesting to them than Thomas a. Bccket, and Sharkey than Melancthon We will not tako tho liberty ot making comments on the religion of the fairer sex, for they can and elo teach and guide us mon by their example far better than m squadron of austere, self- absorbed ecclesiastics.

Although the news has come from a North Wost. Canadian source, the press of Canada has been strangely indifferent regarding it. Recognizing its importance as an item of surpassing interest, The Free'Lance herewith .produces a summary of the facts. Colonel Johnson, stationed at Fort Norman, in the Canadian North. West provinces, neai" the Mackenzie. River, is the authority who telegraphed about the finding of the .balloon. The wrecked air car was discovered lloating iu Lincoln sea, a.^big pocket of the Arctic ocean botween -Greenland and Grant- land. The cablegram whi*i Colonel Johnson sent to Stockholm reads thus: "'J have heard from a whaling, vessel that arrived from the north that a balloon was seen in Lincoln sea. It was in ruins..

This means that Americans are to be debarred from mining in the Atlin district, which promises to be richer than tho Klondike, As it is reached with great ease, passengers on the Rosalie, the last boat down, say that Atlin is turning out extremely rich. An ounce an hour is coming from somo claims, while from No. 12 bolow Pino Creek $f>00 was taken from six feet square of earth. Legislation against American enterprise is not popular, here. If the government Insists upon making laws to exclude Americans it will kill them politically.

DEPORTATION Alleged Authentic Account of; How and by Whom It Was Blown Up The following is given out as an authentic account of the blowing up of the United States batleship Maine iii_Havana harbor. The authority for the following astonishing statements is a Havana-newspaper called "El Reconcentrado," iind with regard to them we would merely say "si non vero, e ben trovato!' The paper says: . "When the Maine came into Havana harbor Brosmes openly declared in Spanish cafes that such an act of audacity on the part of the' Yankees could not pass with stringent' punishment. His threats were direct and deeded destruction to the American boat. His associates wore Philip Gonzales, Dion Siouvia and Eusebo Azc- cue, violent Spaniards. Others? were officers anel volunteers . These men boasted that the Yankees wore about .0 get thoir "dues - though no charge can be directed against any save Bresmes. He and the hot headed Spaniards of Ludlow street met nightly at a house near the corner of Murriilt and Herbana streets where thc plot against the Maine was concocted and arrangements completed. When the explosion took.place Bresmes was in tho Lacon theatre with friends. At the sound of- the explosion he cried: 'There goes the Maine' Champagne was drank in honor of the terrible event; at a moment when others were vaguely inquiring of onc another what had happened. Bresmes name was mentioned before the. American court of inquiry, but not sufficient evidence was then - forthcoming to warrant-any action aiid'.all��������� reference to him was suppressed"* iu the published report. The Cubans here almost without exception regard -the charges of El Reconcentrado as beyond dispute. Bresmes is now said to be hiding in Spain."

" - *- Mi*. Jackson, the C.P.R. yardmaster. received an extremely pleasant surprise on Tuesday evening which took the form of a very handsome silver niDunted cigiir case, presented by C. H. Walker, Esq., on behalf of the members of the hae-holor's club, ns a token of the appreciation felt fur Mr. Jackson hy tbe members of the club. The council of Hip Victoria Bo _rel of Trade has'endorsed a resolution passed hy the Revelstoke bonrel regretting that the provincial government has declined to make a grant towards a B. P. mining exhibit at the Earl's Court Mining Exhibition to be held in London tliis year and urging the government to reconsider its decision. The revival se-i-vitPS in the Motho- dist church will lie continued every night next week. Those who have ���������ittendcd the int-etinzs during the past week have expresicn in warm terms the profit and help of the meetings and desii-'" them continued. The pastor will conduct bo-.h services tomorrow and is specially desirous to j- have every member and adherent of "tlie congregation to attenel. A great mass meeting was held in the city hall at Victoria Wednesday night for the purpose of protesting against tbe passage of the oil! introduced to legislate the alleged members from CVr.tre Yale and East Lillooet into thoir seats .-inel interfere with the flection I.i ivs before the courts. The meeting was crowded to the doors anel lemliitioiu. were passed conelemning the bill as an intcrfere-ne-e with the < onititulif'ii and popular government. Kiui iippe'.-ilitig to the- speaker, the lieutenant-trove! nnr nnel the governor- general to inti'tlVie in the matter. H. W. C. J-ickmn. manager of the "Winter Carnival t" be helel at Ross- leind.on J.-miiaty 2Uh to 2St.h, reports ns follows to the committee re Revel- ftokf's probable repre������sent-ition at the . carnival: "The people of Itevelstoke. I funiid. hail kept tab on thc carnival, although their e-ity is locateel ejuitc a iliitiime nw.-iy from Rossland. It will m-ikI ntie hockey team, one rink of t-iirleii* anei four ski ruDners. These I.-itti'i* will compete in the &ki races 1 for !uivu-i.'S. Ski running was taken up by some of the people of Revelstoke .-it a built the same time it was' in Hos-d-itul. .'end tliPn* are- some very fair runnel s among them." WHO ARE THE BOARD OF TRADE ? This was a question put with much withering emphasis by a well known resident on Front street.it Wednesday night's meeting. The implication was of coarse that compared to the anti- incorporation crowd, the board of trade were of small account indeed. Let us see. The total assessment of the residential population of Revelstoke is $356,230. Out of this sum the total amount represented by the members as the board of trade is $250,530, leaving only $013,800 for the rest of the community. It seems to the Herald that these figures demand some, con- sitleriitioti. Anel while the vote eif any one ratepayer is, and should be, as good as that of another, still it is only reasonable that so large a portion of the assessable property as is helel and repiesentetl by the members of Lhe board of trade should be of some consieleration in deciding matters which touch so nearly on the finance epiestion as does incorporation. Further, Mr. Kellie, with his usual lack of courtesy and good taste, endeavored to insinuate in the recent telegram to the Mail that incorporation was being hurried on by a few members of the board, whose opinion he refused to entertain ab all. Mr. Kellie must be very well aware that in the present disorganized condition eif this place, there is nobody in it, which can give expression to its needs and requirements except the board of trade. It is a condition of affairs which suits him exactly and which he would doubtless like to see indefinitely prolonged. He must further be aware that the board of traele does very fully comprise the standing, influence and intelligence of the community. It is the very last organization which would be likely to favor any wild or ill-considered project. He must know, if he. has nny power of observation at all, that there never was a place that- needed incorporation worse in order to render it. a place of decent, civilizeel habitation. He 'must have known, if he knows'fi-iiat a reason is atjdl.l that he had not given any tangible reason to the boariLwhy incorporation should lie postponed'. " What then ��������� is the reason of his" outburst of blustering indignation? What is the cause, of all Hie play to the gallery ?. In point of fact, what is the' real reason of Mr. Kellie's opposition to incorporation at this juncture? The Herald thinks the real reason is.not very .fai" lo seek.. Everything points to another election for the local house in.the. very near future when _IivI_oHic"r will have once moi-e to solicit the suffrages of the electors. Incorporation just at this particulor time would take a great ileal of. pat;- ronage and spending peiwer out^of the hands of the gold commissioner. It would rub Kellie's friends and officials of nearly tbe whole"of their influence in this resppcl -right nt the point where the voting strength' is* the heaviest. The Hkiiald believes that this consideration furnishes the real reason for the desperate resistance which Kellie and his immediate satelites have been making to the immediate incorporation of this town. It does not, moreover, think that"this belief does any injustice to the reputation for political double dealing which these people have managed to accumulate among this community. It believes that the board of trade could scarcelyhave done-otherwise_than-ir has tloue in postponing incorporation in the face of Mr. Cotton's expression of uneasiness as to his promised expenditure on the river bank if incorporation were hurried on. At the same time the Herald is distinctly of the opinion that these qualms of the Provincial Secretary came in very oppoi timely for Mr. Kellie. Particularly siuce, as he himself declared he had not consulted any of the cabinet at thattiine.be could not possibly have been aware of Mr. Cotton's feelings on this point when writing his letter of mysterious warning.0 to the board of trade. If an article has any value of any utility at all il can be sold by letting people know about it. a The more a man spends fur newspaper advpiti.-ing the more positive he is in his heliet in the results that it brings. The London Exposition of 1899 and British Columbia To the Editor of the Herald: Sir: Having been appointed as a committee by the citizens of Slocan City to draft anel circulate a petition asking the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia to make an appio- priation for the purpeise of colli'ding, forwarding anel placing on exhibition at the Exposition to be held in Lonelem.
