The public accounts of the provinc. for tlie year ending June 30th, J902, show that officials who are generally supposed to be too lazy and indifferent to perform their duties have been most zealous. Tlie provincial mineralogist draws a salary of $4,000 a-year and traveling expenses. He is charged with ri"K 5? ^ t,,at jt is with ^e greatest dirncul.y hecan he got to go beyond the limits .of the City of Victoria, fcmch a charge must be wholly untrue, for his traveling expenses'for "the vear e,Ki?g�����"ne30th' 1902- are P��t down at $1,002.8a. This indicates that the provincial mineralogist spent more than half the year awav from Victoria, and if he was not in Victoria^h'e surely could not have been putting-in time elsewhere than in* examining the for- - mations of out-of-the-way mineral dis- * tncts. , .T.he Public works engineer is another high official who is credited with- a hankering after the ease and comforts of official life within the limits of the city in which he has luxurious offices and many clerks to do his bidding. Yet lie must have traveled during the year covered by the public accounts referred to above, for he is credited with having spent $1,542.75 for traveling expenses, to say nothing of the disbursements made for/buggy hire when on trips through the'country." .The inspector of all public offices in the province is an official whose duties keep him continually on the move.

NELSON SUCCESS CLUB. Preparations for the "at home" to be held in Fraternity hall next Thursday evening have been completed. Cards of admission may be obtained from anv member of the committee. The leader of the orchestra has promised a specially good program. The K. of P. hall will be arranged for cards, and everybody is assured of a srood time. The chess tournament was concluded on Monday last. Messrs. Jowett and Harbour tied for first place, with eleven games won and two lost. In deciding the tie, Mr. Jowett won from Mr. Harbour in eighteen moves. A quoit tourney has been in progress during the past week. Over thirty entries were received and some of the matches 'have been keenly con tested ._ George Nunn has kindly offered a prize for the winner. Tlie final games will be ores, without which���speuking for myself only���1 believe every mine in Rossland will be closed up and abandoned within comparatively few months. ' "This is plain talk, but it is intended for those who apparently think we' are afraid to abandon .the mines and will therefore yield something to their factious opposition. "The financial statement shows that' during 1902, $238,598 was spent on "the mines, and that the net receipt' sales totalled only $203,249. The min&.is now in debt to the extent of $683^101, as against $641,518 at the end of 1901.'-; Now, in the first -place, we should like,to ask Mr. Blackstock why that annual meeting was not held, at what we are informed was its proper date, that is, a fortnight earlier, on the 10th or llth .ultimo? Why was it postponed to coincide with the opening of the convention of the British Colunibia Mining Association? Was it-in order thatjthe wailings of a disappointed Toronto land- shark might have'some "influence on certain matters'discussed'at1 that ,con-, vention?' 'Or was it��� come, now,','Mr. Blackstock; be frank���part-of a gigantic scheme -to."bean-War-'Eagle '"stock with an only too��� evident-ulterior 'pur- Dose-?-/ Mc."r_irby,' mari8k��er;thVBriti8h.

And whv did Mr. Blackstock disgrace' biff-manhood and discredit his "superfine Ontario intellect by such a torrent of unwarrantably lachrymose oratory over the sad fate of a,niine which '.his own 'published reports.*show to ' be * doing Tremarkably well, and in a fair way to do better? To a man of Mr. - Blackstock's high must in future refrain from these funereal flights of oratory.*-' I Moreover, childishly'amateur though the worthy Blackstock?s procedure was, it arouses evil memories. There was a certain mine in the United States twenty-five or thirty years'ago, whose owners used to have periodical fits of de- J pression^like Mr. Blackstock's. Then, in their grief,; they would" shut up..'the mine and buy'in the shares at* the price of waste paper. Then a j"new vein of fabulous richness" would-be discovered in Hie mine,-an'd the shares would go away up to. fancy figures. Then the accommodating vein would "pinch out" or -'fault,',',and the shares would again be bought in,like waste paper, till the vein chose "to" be "rediscovered," when prices again went(_ky-hkh. *It was a funny liLLlegame of financial.ping pong, and several eminejnt 'persons concerned in it, among them" Messrs}-Flood, Mackay, Fair���wilPMr.jBlackstdek please correct us if we are,wranjr?���and other well-known men became millionaires to anj-exaggerated degree. 'jOn' the other hand, many' thousands of people' lost their little all and")were reduced to beggary.;and .starvation \ through < the name of the mine^and theVpecuIiar oc: cnVrences we, have-referred- to. They made stir enough.in "thei. day Now,rwe*would nofr'feir worldst'sug- c-ct that there'-*is anything 'analogous between the despicable-inethods of the deplorable-gang of "pirajfes whose machinations we ,have described, and Mr. Blackstock's**;unlucky -ijorpnto speech:' Notat all; *\ve merely mention this ancient crime.as a curn-usand unsavory example of one way <if handling the mineral industry. We will, however, ly weath would, in a very short time, be treated to an excessively embarras-* sing interview with the crown prosecutor. Finally, let us> look at one or two of the weeping Blackstock's remarks, ** because it is always sad to see a good man so choked with grief that he can not tell the truth. Mr. Blackstock said he had met with -opposition from the government. Unless he refers to the trifling matter of the^two per cent tax ���which is about to''be removed���it is difficult to understand what he is talking about. Then he says he has had opposition from the1 municipalities. We have looked into that matter. We have not apace to go into details, nor do we think Mr. Blackstock will ever supply them to the public, but we may say that it is rather hard to blame "the municipalities for their entirely natural reluctance to be forced into giving something for nothing. Then he says he has had ��� opposition from the smelters. How? When the' War Eagle was bought by Mr. Black- stock and"-his apsocuates, the smelter charges weie between' $8 and $11 (we forget the exact figure.) Now they are only $47 Jf that is what the cultured and" truthful Blackstock calls "opposition," we know quite a lot of people who would like some more of it. Then he says be has met, with opposition in getting water-to mill, his ..low- grade ores. Well, we .have studied^ the public utterances of Mr. Blackstock and his lieutenant, Mr.,Kirby, and we have' come to the conclusion-that, they don't need any water. They themselves can supply it. -- By weeping. We never before met two business men who could turn on tlie waterworks -.so' effectually.. 'A, good tearful speecli.J;once a'month' from'..either ,Mr.'Kirby ,vor Mr. Black- 'Stock^.ouglifeto^ee]^ 'thoT'orighry^dreiicliett^'and le\vea*han"d-, some bal-t.nde over -for* watering "the StOfik. / <* ��� ' : - , . . , Thus we see that, thongh Mr. Blackstock's Toronto ��� speech was soaked in tears,* yet the] statements made in it will not hold water. * Thip is very unfortunate, as it leaves Mr. Blackstock completely ..undefended against the grave "suspicion* of .his-.mqtiyes .which his wild and unsupported "remarks" on the 25th ultimo have excited throughout British Columbia.���British Columbia Mining Lxchange. In All Lands Where the Law Is Printed In the English Language. After the recent aldermanic by-election in the East ward, assertions were made by the friends of the defeated candidate that all those who voted for driven out of seems that the threat was metmt, for brick layers and stone masons, who belong to the local union, no longer need expect ��� to get work from the defeated candidate, who is a local contractor. With "Jim" Dunsmuir closing down his coal mines because his miners insist on having freedom of conscience; with the C.P.R. threatening to remove its repair shops from Revelstoke because its workmen there exercise the privileges of freemen ; - and with a building contractor and his friends at Nelson threatening to force men out of business because of exercising their rights of citizenship,/ the province is indeed in a bad way: .But, somehow, the people have a way of settling with pig-headed men, whether they be mine, owners, railway mariagT ers, contractors, or workingmen. "Jim" Hill and Pierpont Morgan thought they were bigger than the United States, but the-courts quietly game them a tip the other day that the people were still the rulers. "Jim" Dunsmuir and the C.P.R. magnates will get a similar tip one of these fine days, and they will crawl down and be good. Of course, Hill and Morgan and* Dunsmuir and the C.P.R. magnates are small fry as compared with tbe'mighty * men who backed "Billy" ��� Gillett n Nelson for alderman, and it is just possible that the world will come to a standstill if the people do not meekly do their bidding. The Tribune, predicts, however, that the people-will continue to rule in- Nelson and every- ' where else in the,world where the laws are printed in the English language. t ,-.1 ) ^ I I DOHINION DAY CELEBRATION. played off early next week, The gymnasium is now in working order.

Traves returns tonight from, where he'has been for Oone to the Coast. Kootenay loses two of its bright newspapermen in the removal from Sandon and New Denver of William MacAdams and R. T.. Lowery. They go to Vancouver to establish a weekly newspaper. They may not be appreciated at the Coast at their worth, because the Coast, in some respects, is as narrow as Ontario, and its newspapers when not stilted and dry are decidedly amateurish and notoriously untruthful. Lowery and MacAdams have a style that is original. , It is not the style of the canting hypocrite, although it is at times seemingly barbarous. R. Thompson leaves early next week for Nakusp, where he will be employed in his business as painter. W. F. Teetzel' leaves for the Coast tonight, and expects to remain in Victoria for a week or ten davs. Henry Bruce, whojias long long been a resident of Nelson,-leaves next week to locate at Midway, in the Boundary ilistrict. "Silver King Mike" was treating his friends today to Passover delicacies, and some of those-who partook passed over���to bed. John Sniallwood; merchant- tailor, is ready for business with a, fine stock of spring and summer suitings. His place of business is on Ward street, near the new postoffice building. , R. W. Day has been appointed inspector of agencies for the Imperial Life Insurance.'Company, with headquarters at Edmonton, Alberta. He will leave Nelson for Edmonton on Thursday. John J. Malone and Alexander McDonald, and other Kootenay and Yale speculators, expect to make a cleanup from lands they have acquired at Tete Juene Cache on the Fraser river, in Cariboo district. For the first time in the historv of Nelson the work of the countv court is up to date. At the sitting of" the court on Wednesday jud��e Forin cleared up every case on the docket, and was, figuratively speaking, presented by registrar Simpkins ��with the usual white gloves. Coal and coke is beginning to arrive from the Crow's Nest Pass coal mines, and within~thirty davs the smelters at Nelson, Trail, Grand Forks, Greenwood, and Boundary Falls will be running lead stacks and copper furnaces having a daily capacity of 4,000 tons of ore* A number of the aldermen, accompanied by the mayor and the city engineer, took a trip down to the "powerhouse site on Kootenay river yesterday. On their return they said work would be commenced as scion as ^possible. Consulting engineer Riblet has approved of the plans as]far as tliey are completed.

President Estes of jthe Brotherhood of Railway Employees will address a public meeting in Nelson on Monday night. He is a good speaker, and will, no doubt, present the Aide fjf the fight his organization is having with the ��!.P.R. in the most (favorable light. The members of the Nelson branch of of the organisation hav<i conducted the fight with the, company, in the fairest possible way, and byidoing so have won the good opinion; of the people generally, even those who are not favorable to labor organizations. Mayor Rose will preside at the (Monday night meeting. ', The People of Creston Indignant. Some ten years ago the Davis-Say- ward outfit secured leases on thousands of acres of timber land throughout West Kootenay, and among other tracts one covering the land around the town of Creston, although thetown was not then in existence. It seems that some of the land in the. limit at Creston has been crown granted to settlers, and tbe settlers have been selling the timber to a local sawmill. The Sayward outfit have taken steps to prevent this and have secured an injunction against the settlers and the owners of the sawmill. This action has caused considerable feeling at Creston, and an indignation meeting was held on Thursday, at which strong resolutions were adopted, and the resolutions hav�� been forwarded to the provincial government. The sawmill was the only operating industry at Creston, and its closing down is felt by the people of the town. Back from England. L. Ernst, president, and J. L. Stamford, director, of the Northwest Coal and Coke Company, Limited, returned to Nelson this week from England, where they have been on business of the company. In London they succeeded in financing the company with the assistance of captain Goodwin, who had been in England sometime paving the way for them. Arrangements have been made for English engineers to come out, and by the first of May they will be on-the ground���to-lay-out-the necessary work for tbe proper opening up of the' coal niines, and also make the final survey for the Northwestern railway which is to be built to connect the mines with the C.P.R. They have also arranged for sufficient capital to dp all the work outlined, and have made all the payments to the government required up to date. They had a pleasant time with captain Goodwin, who spent six or eight months in Nelson last year. He is expected back again this year, and it is reported be will not return alone. The trip, although very successful, was a very short one, Mr. Ernst only spending eleven days in London. The weather was very fine, and-he greatly enjoyed the short visit. Mr. Ernst said that in order to let their friends in Nelson participate in their good fortune, the company intend to offer a small block of treasury stock here shortly. Turned Down. The provincial executive of the Lib- ertyj party have turned down the Senk- lejprTempleman-Sniith crowd by refusing to to call a convention of the party. The Liberals of the province may not all be favorable to the leadership of Joseph Martin, but 90 per cent of the party are in favor of treating Mr. Martin fairly, which the Senkler-Tem- pleman-Sniith crowd are unwilling to do. Has Sold Out. H. T. Irvine has disposed of the American Shoe. Store and will devote his time to the Alberta Coal & Coke Company. The store he occupied, is now occupied by Mrs. Enfield, whose stock of millinery is second to none on Baker street. , The general executive eommittee met last night at the city hall. "Mayor Rose was chairman and."Fred'Starkey'was appointed permanent secretary for the celebration.* The minutes-.of the,'last meeting were read and-approved.

McNichol suggested that matches be got up between Nelson and Rossland intermediates. The following names were added to the executive committee: Dr. Hall, W. J. AVilson, J. Dover, T. Lillie, W. R. McLean, H. Houston, F. Phillips, Bruce W.hite, R. H. Williams, and Bruce Heathcote. The following list of events was drawn up: Rock drilling, baseball, lacrosse, firemen's races, rifle and gun shooting, military drill and sham fight, Caledonian sports and children's races, etc. H. Houston was asked to correspond regarding baseball matches with the secretaries of clubs in neighboring towns, and chief Lillie was asked to do the same for the firemen's races. ���Considerable- discussion���then���took- place regai ding the giving of a grand military display, and it was suggested that there should be a sham fight and shooting /matches, that teams from RbsBland, Trail, Grand Forks, Greenwood, Kaslo, Slocan, and New Denver should be asked to compete, and that captain Macdonell be asked to try and get the outside companies of the Rocky Mountain Rangers to help in the sham fight, etc. There will be no water sports, and all sports which in former experience have proved unattractive will be left out1 of the program. Alderman Irving suggested that a large number of celebration envelopes should be printed, and distributed by the merchants, and it was resolved that this'should be done at once. A committee to take charge of the Caledonian games will be appointed later. Tlie children's sports will be left to C. A. Waterman. The mpeting adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman. ���y1, * *-r*5f t �����- ^1 W. P. JH. Convention. The fifth annual convention of District No. 6 of the.

JOHN HOUSTON, Editor. SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 1903 The Liberals of the eleven electoral districts in East and West Kootenay and the Boundary section of Yale are talking of forming a combination so as to better-combat Coast political. influences. The Coast is divided into two more or less hostile camps. One camp is made up of men from the Island. The other is made ilp of the Lower Mainland politicians. Neither side will recognize the' ''upper country" politicians, and the Liberal politicians of the "upper country" are talking combine to force recognition. They are right; the people of the Kootenay and Boundary^an_only__secure_fair_treat- ment politically by supporting men who stand for the "upper country." The assessment act will not pass the house as introduced. It proposes to raise the tax on mineral claims from twenty-five cents to fifty cents an acre, and that there shall be no time for redeeming claims once they are advertised and sold for taxes. Tlie member for Nelson riding has given notice of an amendment, which in effect is that the rate shall be twenty-five cents an acre, as at present, and that nine months shall he given in which to redeem after , a sale is made for taxes. The member for Nelson will insist that crown-granted mineral claims shall be treated as real estate. ��� *' -Word conies from Vancouver that, notwithstanding the boasting of the C.P.R. officials, they are not making much headway. These officials are employing broken-down old countrymen and worthless sons of fathers who made names for themselves in Canada .as clerks, arid are boarding them and the freight handlers in two-old river steamers tied up at the wharf. None of the C.P.R* local boats have regular crews. The statements made in the local and also in the Vancouver press as to the presence of the member for Nelson at a conference of Conservatives held in Vancouver last week, in which, he was said to have expressed his views regarding his running at the next election, were altogether false. No such conference was held, and no such statements were.made. There is an element at the Coast who want the question of redistribution of members in the legislative assembly reopened. * They openly assert that Kootenay is not entitled to nine men- bers. This element is made up of the ^-'01d-Turner-Gang"-an"d~tlie_ Temples man Liberals. The member for Nelson is asking for an appropriation of .*|!40,000 for the new court house. The plans are ready and if carried out in full the building will be a credit to the government who. furnished the money and to the City of Nelson. The government should have no hesitation in granting the money. Nelson has waited long and patiently," and is entitled to a building which will have proper accommodation for the work to be done in it. Every grand jury and every presiding judge for years past have condemned the present building in no feeble terms. A complete outfit of new type, has been purchased for The Tribune and ia expected to arrive in Nelson on Monday next. The finest press in ihe Kootenay district has been erected, and the paper will appear in its new dress and its accustomed size next Saturday. The Nelson Economist, merely to show gratitude for the financial assistance rendered it during a late municipal contest, is booming an innocent young lawyer for the nomination of the Beer and Mugwump party for Nelson riding at the next provincial election. Joseph Martin, the leader of the Liberal party in British Columbia, seems to he able to control Liberal associations everywhere except at Vancouver. In that town the Liberal association is controlled at Kelly, Douglas & Co., wholesale grocers. Several of the most prominent mine owners of the province have asked that the present system of mine taxation be left as it is. This seems strange, after so, much has been said as to the unfairness of the tax. A mining commission will not be appointed to revise the mining laws of the province. �� BY THE ROADSIDE; �� So we are to have a celebration on Dominion Day. How delightful? The very thought that I shall probably be permitted to gaze once more on that up-to-date artistic creation���a business float���is already filling me with joyful anticipation. Something akin to that experienced in my boyhood days when sizing up the situation of a pastrycook's window on the one hand and ray slender financial resources on the other. I don't think the shows of 1809 and 1900 have been surpassed in snap and vim ; possibly better times account for that. Any way,* fjhis year if good music cannot be obtained better have a couple of piano organs, and as for fireworks, so called, a good bonfire on Granite mountain would be far more exciting than the fire squibbing we have been treated to at the last two celebrations. The spectacle chronicled in the papers of some 1,500 known men retiring from the world on Palm Sunday for a week's pennance at one of the R. C. churches in New York is certainly, to say the least, extraordinary. It is looked upon as a revival of Lent and held up as evidence against the oft repeated statement as to the decadence of the church. On the other hand, quite a number of society people will sympathize with the old monk in the golden legend musing on Lent in the cellar surrounded by hogsheads of wine: ~ "lam glad we are through with this tedious Lent; , Fasting is all very well for those Who have to deal with invisible foes, But I am sure it does not agree With a quiet peaceful man like me," But, then, (if we had no Le,nt we would have.no Easter contrast, and to many the penance (mild as it is) is worth all the joy that the Easter Sunday gowning brings! Tlie "impossible man" is with us. This time it's about wood and the best ways and means of heading off ( the rapacity of those awful wood dealers in the city. Someone has suggested that wood be sold 6n weight. The idea is too funny and! enough to bring a grin on an Egyptian mummy. I see in imagination, jif such a course were adopted, firewood pickling tanks^down on the flats, and the air full of hostile mutterings from those who do not indulge in a Chinaman or a gas stove. ��./__��. - -i. , ��� -When I was in San Francisco eight years ago the. Market Street Railway Company held �� tramway - charter on Mission street1. In order to hold this charter the law required, that-.'a daily service in each',direction once a! day be maintained, so it came to pass that a one-horse v "owl", car holding*; about eight people was sent perambulating up and down<once a day, religiously-- Tlie- local transportation company might take tlie tip���saw the: present, car in two and hire one of Steeper's twenty-five dollar pack shaganappis and maintain la service free from the dictates of tlie Bonnington octopus.

Since doing so I have Lad a kind of uneasy feeling that my petition is hardly in line-with hiy vievs of the liberty pf the subject. Quite a number of us-think that because a nian does' not care for church is no reason why he should disturb those whojdo, and possibly the yellsJncidental-to-and���apparently_in^ separable from i baseball game'mity become a disturbing factor to .the peace of the- immediate neighborhood. On the other hand,; there is a suspicion, not without soine reason, that, this attempted legislation may result in an effort to restrict our individual liberties. Over-zealous ministers should realize the fact that they will never make people church-goers by force of law,' and always bear in mind, as is well illustrated" in ministers' families, that where religion is forced on children with whom it does not find ready acceptance, they invariably at maturity drift into muddy indifference and too often rank materialism.-����� A subscriber writes: "I wish to send my boy to school at Nelson. In addition to the ordinary tuition, can you inform me if pupils are drilled and otherwise taught general discipline." I am afraid that I shall have to admit that neither of these^essentials form an addition to the curriculum of the schools here. Yet, from enquiries made among parents, they are all apparently a unit on the desirability of these essentials. Very possibly if a system of discipline-vwere adopted our city fathers would he,Vspafed the. trouble of manoeuverihgya jgurfew by-law and the parents bemoaning the waywardness of precocious childhood in this communitv. : Wanderer. ������ * ������'���'��� FOR SALE.

At the council meeting held on Monday last there were present the mayor, and aldermen Irving, Bird, Selous and Gilker. Mayor Rose reported that the public works committee had decided to put in the lower of the two bridges suggested by the city engineer,at the last council meeting. On motion it was decided to call for tenders for tho opening up of the lane between Ward and Josephine streets and building the necessary bridge. W. W. West wrote asking if he might lease 150 feet of water-front between Cedar and Park streets for a wood yard and building. It wns decided to lease 100 feet to Mr. West. An amusing discussion arose on the appointment of poundkeeper, alderman Selous objecting to the dogs running at large which have special dislikes to school teacher8 and aldermen, and suggesting that an active boy would make a small fortune catching stray chickens, the owners of which would, under the act, have to pay 26 cents each for their return. Applications for the position of poundkeeper must be Bent it at once, and it was left to the mayor to appoint. T. M. Ward wrote stating that owing to his business affairs' he would not have sufficient time to devote to the assistant assessorship, and therefore he declined the position. After some discussion it was moved by alderman Selous", seconded by alderman Irving, that W. A. Jowett be appointed assistant assessor. Carried unanimously. C.P.R. super in ten dene Downie wrote that the $50 voted at the last council meeting towards completing the crib- work for protecting Cottonwood creek bank was much too small. It would take $150 even if the railway company supplied the timber free, which they were willing to do. On .motion it was decided that the city engineer should expend $100 independently of , the C. P. R. in strengthening " the bank above the Sherbrooke hotel, and that Mr. Downie be notified to that effect. The city solicitor wrote, in reply to an enquiry, that the council had not"power to pass a by-law enforcing wood measurement unless a regular market was established. The council decided, on motion of alderman Selous, seconded by alderman Irving, "that the city weigh- master.and some person employed in the neighborhood of the city wharf be appointed as official measurers, to measure all wood when requested and issue tickets certifying that such had been done." This will only apply to four-foot wood. ' At the request of the city engineer, the council agreed to expend a further sym of $150 in repairing the upper portion of Cottonwood creek.

Materialism may in some lands have undermined the faith ; the world lient oir financial and social expansion may at times forget the higher duties; iudifference may blind the mind to the loftier problems of life; but humanity ever cry lor the, ideal at whose shrine it can worship, and so long,as that cry ,goes up will that ideal be presented in the form'best suited to the particular people's understanding. -"The fact that Easter is a shifting festival, in addition to other evidence, points-to an astronomical "origin., This is the season of the passing of the sun through the vernal equinox,' of the :a or in picture causes that of others for his own selfish pleasure"on the rest day does not deserve to have its privilege's.1 This proposed law gives to every man the right to.use the day as he shall, see fit, provided that in so doing he. does not interfere 'with the rights and privileges of others, just as I have a perfect right to keep chickens, J but none to pnrmit my chickens to rout up my neighbor's garden. Let me give itemised reason's, for sighing this petition : (1) The Lord's Bay rest is a British and Canadian institution; (2) It is a physical necessity, proven by exact scientific experiments; races that keep the day are the superior races; those who donot, inferior���Chinese, Hindus, etc.; (3) from a family and social standpoint the day is one of tlie greatest boons of life;-(4) He who works seven days a weeks robs his fellowman of one day's work a week���i.e., where GO men work seven days a week, 70 would-be employed ; Is"(this jusl ? (5) Whereas this law would not compel any- man to be religious or moral, yet it gives him a chance of being so; (6) Quite- a large illers in this province believe that back of all: these utilitarian argument is a Divine command, '-.Remember the Sabbath day to to keep" it holy" f that it is,part of that decalogue which lies at the basis of our civilized life and -as imperative, for �����***��**: ing of the sap and general*' perceptible | P.���^ .of th,c t!w?,U',rsin. activity in the field of verdant' Nature. Whatmore fitting than this to draw the mind of man to the contrast of the rising of the life principle in the resting plant, tree and seed, and the rising of'the latent higher aspirations in the human heart. An old axiom of Hermetic philosophy was "As above,'so. below," meaning that the" material world, was but CQlirse- replica of the beyond, si mider illustration is the thrown on-the canvas by are unseen from the-auditorium.'. What we see.around is the effect of, to us, an unseen cause. Therefore, is the rising of the sap and the glorious outburst ���" ' ' ie of Nature at this season typical of ' tl ���rising of the better man, and was beautifully caught by Tennyson in the lines: "O, for a man to rise in ine, 0 That the man I am may cease to be." Ancient Egyptian records throw some light on the rites and ceremonies that were carried out in the pyramids. One of which has considerable** bearing oh the Kaster festival and will -be'more fully recognized by those who look beneath and seek to study more closely that temple not made,with hands. The neophyte or candidate, three davs prior to the exact, date of the vernal equinox, was thrown into a trance and remained in that state for three days. The body was then stretched on the ground in the form of a cross and in such, a, position that tbe first rays of the Easter morning sun fell on him, and when the glorious, orb of day had completely arisen tbe neophyte was raised from a * figurative death to the fulness of lifts��� from tbe death in the bondage of the de*'!) into tbe life of emancipation from its* thraldom. ��� ---���-. -��� festivals have ever befen associated with great religions. They serve to keep green the deeper objects of life and stimulate the emotional nature in man. The remains and historical records of all past civilizations give abundant, testimony to the fact that far back in the night of time commemorative days were set apart aa days of religious exercises followed by geneial ���recreation. The churches that devote large attention to these annual festivals seem to show more vitality than those who have chosen to ignore them. The abandonment by any nation of the old landmarks, as in. the case of. France today, is a sad spectacle. Whatever faults the'-Roman Catholic church may have committed in,that land, the present policy of suppression carried on by a materialistic government, is sounding tbe death knell of that greaV country. Its decadence has already been sounded in its utimistakeable depopulation, and these mad causes will bring the inevitable effect in the shape of obliteration, y . - *: The falling a.way of a people from.the J^tjy.,.u]e^j_jjand.e^-Idb.wii"J_^way^bL sacred books is to lose touch with that power which is the inspirational pivot of those minds who have in the past directed the destinies 'of..nations. A recognition of this will go far to fan into a flame, in many, the dying embers of the simple childhood faith too often forgotten in .this mad age of financial and social aggrandizement, anil- help to longevity and happiness, as "Thou shalt not steal," or 'Thou shalt not commit adultery," or "Thou shalt do no murder"; (7)'Should any man wish to keep any othe-.'day for religious observances, this law would not interfere with his liberty to,do so; all it determines is, that'as tbe majority prefer the first day for their rest day, it would be impossible from a commercial standpoint to legislate for small minorities, as banks,, etc.,'would lie placed in a .peculiar pbsitipn. Therefore, for all o,f these reasons,-" taken individually, oi; as a whole, we'plead for those who value their privileges, to support this petition.

The Nelson Tribune: Referring to your remarks in last issue re petition desiring our provincial legislature to enact a wise and just law, did you lose your spectacles, or your thinking cap, or was it simply the rush for "copy" that made you write that bit so inconsistent with fact? VVe trust the -latter. Were not the dykes of Holland conserved at great cost and by eternal. vigilance, it would lie inundated by thel sea. History proves that where there are none to conserve the Lord's Day to those who possess its blessed privileges, it is gradually and surely swept away by the inundations of greed of wealth aiid greed of pleasure. The Lord's Day is one of the heritages ' of Christian civilization. It is not so in India, China, Africa, etc. The proposed legislation in no way interferes with individual liberty, but conserves it. All it lays down is that every man shall have the legal right to a day of rest, with the usual "exceptions that prove the rule," and for which ample provision is made in "works of necessity and charity.''

Harry McLeod left on Wednesday for Port Huron, Windsor, Toronto, etc., on business connected with the Alberta Coal & Coke Company. The macadamized streets of Nelson could be improved through the employment ot a half dozen men who know bow to use hoes and shovels. 1 The road between Trout Lake and Ferguson and Thompson's Landing is almost impassable. An .effort is being made to get it in shape for traffic. It is to be honed the Dominion Day celebration committee will not waste any of the funds collected in such amusements as shooting on rifle ranges. J. W. Richards leaves. Nelson next week to take charge of one of*- Slater's shoe stores in .Montreal. He has resigned his position at the Royal shoe store. E. E..

Roy returned to Nelson from the Silver Hill Mining Company's property on Crawford creek, about 12 miles from Crawford bay. He.found about 16 feet of solid snow on the cabins, and says there is more snow on the high mountains than he ever saw before at, this time of the year. Police commissioner Marks has returned from a trip to Spokane.

None of the men who quit at Nelson have returned to work, and.none of them will until the strike is settled. Some of their places have been filled by importations from Seattle and other points in the United States, and these importations are being housed and fed in cars in the yards.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1903-04-11 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
