The members of the royal commission are both Liberals. One is chief justice of the supreme court, and was appointed to that position by the Laurier government; the other is a prominent minister of the gospel in Victoria and a pronounced Liberal in politics. These two Liberals, sitting as a royal commission, heard evidence at Victoria, Vancouver, Nanaimo, Ladysmith, and Cumberland. They did not. hold a single sitting anywhere in Kootenay or in Yale. Their findings were reported to the Laurier government and they have been published. THEY DECLARE, IN THEIR OPINION AS ROYAL COMMISSIONERS, SWORN TO , DO THEIR DUTY, THAT THE WESTERN FEDERATION OF MINERS AND THE UNITED BROTHERHOOD OF RAILWAY EMPLOYEES OUGHT TO BE DECLARED ILLEGAL ORGANIZATIONS. The Western Federation of Miners, as an organization, ought to be declared illegal, is the verdict rendered by two the most prominent Liberals in British Columbia, sworn to make' a true report of their findings to the Liberal government at Ottawa. Through some, if not all, of the officers of its branch unions at Nelson and Ymir, the Western Federation of Miners is doing everything it possibly can do to advance the political interests of Sydney Stockton Taylor, K.C., and Alfred Parr, both of whom.are candidates of the Liberal Party. Is this not a trifle inconsistent ?"

William McDonald, a brother of Alec McDonald of the Madden house, the Forty-nine creek mine owner, arrived in Nelson from Chicago last night. Mr. McDonald is a buyer in "The Fair," Chicago's largest department store, and the way business is done in Nelson's big stores is a trifle slow as compared with the way it is done in Chicago. He will remain here until Saturday, when he expects to take the back track to Chicago, via Salt Lake and Denver. H. H. Avery of Nelson, who was a member of a militia company in Leeds ooimtyrOntario~rand-'whO'Saw-~a0tive*'Iser^ vice between April 1st aud June Kith, 18G6, received a notice today from thc Ontario government that lie is entitled to 1 GO acres of land under an act passed by the legislature of Ontario. He is also entitled to a medal. James McPhee and David Dover are back from a trip to Poplar Creek, where they went to stake a water-right. Tliey say the town is started. It lias one or two hotels, a number of stores, nndanassayer, and all it lacks is a newspaper to make it a typical mining town. Harry Wright, the candidate of the Liberal-Conservative Party for Ymir riding, put in two or three days in Ymir looking after his political fences. Ho reports them in good shape. Mrs. Godfrey Birtseh died at the family residence in Nelson on Saturday. Thc funeral took place today from tho undertaking rooms of D. McArthur & Co. Tlie Liberal mass meeting comfortably tilled the opera house last night, and jading from the applause given the two speakers, there were as many Conservatives as Liberals present. F.M. Black, chairman, and Fred Smith and Dr. Arthur were the only Liberals ou the platform besides candidates Taylor and Parr. As arranged, John Houston, the candidate of tlio Liberal-Conservative Party, opened the meeting, and in his speech- of an hoar and a quarter confined himself entirely to explaining tlie platform of the Literal-Conservative Party, adopted at BeveLstoke last September. He made no reference to local issues and treated his opponent with every consideration. He did not appeal to the prejudices of class or faction, and made plain, straightforward declarations on questions that must be dealt with by the government and the legislature. His speech was strongly in contrast with that delivered by his opponent. Mr. Taylor spoke, as if he were a candidate for the Dominion house, and not a candidate for the provincial legislature, and he devoted most of his horn* aud a half in showing how great a friend he has been to laboring men, as compared with John Houston.: He was most re cldess in statements and wholly without scruple in his assertions. Last night Sidney Stockton Taylor, K.C., out of his own month convinced his hearers that he would not be over-scrupulous in conducting his campaign, aiid that if his opponent could be injured liy misrep- resentions and downright falsehoods, the misrepresentations would be made without hesitation and the falshoods would bo circulated where they would do the most good. NEED OF STA15LE GOVEHNUENT. In opening his speech, Mr. Houston expressed his belief that a party-line election would result in giving the province a stable government, and* that he had been instrumental in bringing the coming election on. During the hist session of the legislature, he liad refused to support the Prior government further than the introduction and passage of non-contentious legislation and the estimates, giving as a reason that the electors of the province should bo allowed to pass ou the issues that had been raised by the two political parties. Before the holding of the Liberal- Conservative convention at Revelstoko last September, there was a public meeting of the supporters of the party in Nelson, at which delegates were elected. The meeting was one of the largest and stormiest party meetings ever held in Nelson, but--when. the Jw.eu.ty ^delegates elected, met in the convention at Revelstoke, although thoy had done some lively rowing between themselves at home, they voted ; as a unit on all questions on which a vote was taken. He predicted that at the coming election, which would take place iu October, the Liberal-Conservatives of Nelson would be found supporting the nominee of the party, despite any little dis- \ agreements that had occurred in the past. LnjEKAT, C0NSERVAT1VI* PLATFORM. Mi'. Houston then took up the platform of the party adopted at Revelstoke, and reviewed it clause by clause. He said there could be little difference of opinion over the party's declaration on roads and trails. All would admit that the mining districts must bo generously treated, for it was largely through the building by the government of trails and roads that claims could bo worked. It was true that roads and trails had been built that were seldom used, but the money they cost remained in the country and was spent in other ways that brought direct benefits. . The railway plunks, the ^speato^jxphjdnedL 'st'o^'foTtwollisfiiict"'"pledges. One, that men wjio had mon'ey to build railways with should be permitted to do so as freely as men with money are now permitted to build sawmills or other industrial works; that it should not be a first requisite to obtain the consent of tho members of the legislature; that railways should bo allowed to bo build under a general act, just as tramways are built in Kootenay. The second was, that NOT ONE DOLLAR IN MONEY OR ONE ACRE OF LAND SHOULD BE GRANTED B Y THE PROVINCE IN AID OF RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION WITHOUT THE PROVINCE RECEIVING*- IN RETURN A CORRESPONDING VALUE IN OWNERSHIP IN THE RAILWAY SO AIDED. HtltKlATlON FAVOLKO. The third plank reviewed Was the one dealing with the development nf the agricultural resources of the provinco. Mr. Houston said that while Nelson was being twitted for its pretentiousness in starting an agricultural society, yet the country of which Nelson was the center was very much interested in developing the agricultural resources of the province. The men employed in and about the mines and smelters all have well-developed appetites, and if their appetites were fed on food products grown in British Columbia there would bo dozens of prosperous farmers where there are none today. Theprovince had provided money to build dykes to reclaim land along tho lower Fraser, but the cost of these dykes would probably never be repaid, for it wa.s most difficult to raise money by direct taxation. If land in the interior of the province could be cultivated by means of irrigation���and there are many acres of such land within a hundred miles of Nelson���the cost of constructing the irrigation ditches could be repaid by water rents, for the owner of a 20-acre tract of irrigated land would not deem it a hardship! were he required to "pay 50 cents an acre a year for the light to use water from a government built and owned irrigation canal. Were the people to produce what they consumed they would not need to look to Ottawa for assistance. WHEN THE PEOPLE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA KEEP FOR THEMSELVES THE MONEY THEY NOW PAY FOR FOREIGN FARM PRODUCE AND i THE DUTIES THEREON, THEY WILL NOT NEED TO GO TO OTTAWA BEGGING FOR BETTER TERMS. MIXE TAXATION. . In reviewing the plank on mine taxation, Mr. Houston said he did not believe the 2 per cent tax on the output of metal mines was a great hardship on the mine- owners, and the fram ers of the Liberal- Conservative platform took the same view. He and they believed that the agitation for the repeal of the tax was commenced not by the owners of producing mines, but by men who hoped to discredit the government in order to cover up some of their own shortcomings. He believed the agitation had had the effect of frightening outside capital, and the declaration of the Liberal-Conservative party was more iu the direction of removing cause for alarm thau for redressing any real grievance. He would even go further than the platform declaration. He would favor remitting all taxation on ore that was smelted or otherwise made a commercial commodity of in the province, but would double the present tax on ore that was sent out of the province for treatment. British Columbia would' only get huff'"what was coming to her people, were the ores from its mines smelted and refined in the United States. The speaker then referred to the unfairness with which the mining districts of British Columbia were treated by the Liberal government at Ottawa. The people of the province, through their legislative assembly, boards of trade, political associations, and other organized bodies, had asked for the levying of protective duties on lead and lead products on a parity with the protective duties levied on other Canadian products. They were unanimous, all except one man, in asking for this fair treatment; but the government at Ottawa saw* fit to ignore the request of the people, and, instead, to adopt the views of thc ono man (Smith Curtis of Rossland). The time was coming when the. peoplo of British Columbia would have their wishes respected at Ottawa, but that time would not come were men sent to Ottawa who refused to stand to their guns when the rights of their constituents were in jeopardy. (iOVKKNME.VT OWNERSHIP OF TELEPHONES. The speaker next reviewed the plank that declared for government ownership of telephones. He said such ownership might be classed as in the direction of socialism, but it was practical socialism, not the. .socialism of the. dreamer. If he was not mistaken, the telephone systems of the old country were largely owned by the Imperial government, and many of tlie large cities of tlie world had adopted ownership of this utility. It was entirely feasible for the province to own the telephone systems for it wa.s within the moans of the' province. Were the telephones owned by the province, lines could be extended to connect towns and districts that are now isolated, and this certainly would be nn advantage. Were tho province to own and operate the telephone systems, the girl operators who work for $!�� to .*?'!<> a month would, if they were paid as generously as are the girl stenographers in the departments nt Victoria, receive much higher wages than they now get: and lawns sure thut if the telephone girls had Reliance, Sailed hy a Scot ^eats [Associated Press to The Evening Tribune.] New York, August 22.���A 9 o'clock the official guage of the weather bureau at Sandy Hook- showed the wind blowing steadily from the southwest at thirteen miles an hour. 10 a. m.���Shamrock has reached the lightship under sail.

COAL AN'f) OIL LANDS. The plank respecting- coal areas was next reviewed. Mr. Houston said the plank had, he believed, been taken from the platform of the Provincial Progressive Party; that when adopted the great anthracite strike in Pennsylvania wns on, and there was more or less unrest at thc coal mines in the Crow's Nest district and on Vancouver Island. The land laws of thc province already contained a provision whereby the province retained one-fourth of any land preempted or purchased and afterwards plotted for townsite purposes. A similar provision could bo enforced were large areas of coal lands -were acquired for speculative purposes. The speaker declared that the coal and oil lands in southeast Kootenay, seeing that the legislature had by an almost unanimous vote declared them vested in the crown, should be thrown open to location the same as' are coal and oil lands in other sections of the province. THE PROSPECTORS WHO HAD MADE APPLICATIONS TO PRO SPECT FOR COAL AND OIL ON BLOCKS 459:1 AND 4594 SHOULD HAVE THEIR APPLICATIONS DEALT WITH ON THEIR MERITS, AND DEALT WITH AT ONCE. - The speaker claimed that nearly every scandal that has been aired in the province for the last fifteen years was either directly the result of special legislation in the interest of iudividuols or because of the ambiguous wording of laws that were too often interpreted by the lieutenant-governor by orders-in-council. Mr. Houston declared that ALL LAWS SHOULD BE GENERAL NOT SPECIAL; AND THEY SHOULD BE SO CLEARLY WORDED THAT THEIR MEANING COULD BE UNDERSTOOD WITHOUT CALLING ON THE LIEUTENANT- GOVERNOR FOR ORDERS-IN-COUNCIL INTERPRETING THEM. One of the ablest premiers the province ever had was the late Theodore Davie, but his one weakness was allowing spocial laws to be passed giving benefits to men who professed to be his friends, and none of these laws wore in the interests of the people as a whole. TIMBER HESOUKCES. The timber resources of the province and how they could best be conserved was dealt with next. The speaker claimed that in its timber the province had one of its greatest sources of-reveirue, wore only^ the laws so-framed as to give the peoplo the maximum, uot the minimum, of benefit. Ontario, by wise legislation, had been able to keep out of debt through handling her timber lands in a businesslike way. The speaker asked, why should men like Jim Hill be permitted to acquire large, if not controlling, interests in our timber and coal resources without contributing an adequate return to the provincial treasu ry in the way of royalties. Mr. Hill had acquired a three-tenths interest in the Crow's Nest Pass coal mines, not because of any desire he had to develop a Canadian industry, but because the coal of these mines was far superior ito any coal he could get within a reasonable distance of his railways. He wa.s making money by using Crow's Nest coal, and it was the duty of the government of British Columbia to see to it that he paid back part of what he was saving, through using her coal, into the provincial treasury. The royalties on both timber and coal should be readjusted. There should bo uo royalties on lumber and coal used m the province, and the _royi_ilty_ should be^ Mn^asTd'Wi^wint t^vas' "exported." The royal ty on the coal used by the Hill railways should be increased from ten cents to fifty cents a ton, and the result would be that the yearly deficits that range from ..500,000 to .-5750,000 would be wiped out or greatly reduced. CIIINESI-: AND .lAPANKSE EXl'l.l'SION. Tlie speaker next referred to the Chinese question. He said that the people, irrespective of parly affiliations, wero united in demanding that Chinese be excluded and the iininigiMtion of Japanese bo restricted. There were individual Conservatives who were pro-Chinese, bnt there were none such more pronounced in favor of the Chinese than the Liberal who wns it member of Ihe Chinesecommission. Donald Munn, the New Weslninster cannery limn, was as strongly in favor of Chinese us any Conservative in the province. Mr. Houston claimed that the lust legislature did everything in its power to [rmitiiiiU'il mi Fourth I'mmc] The Western Federation of Miners, thro' Some of its High Officials, is Attempting to Vote its Members Solid for Taylor and Parr, both Liberals. Sydney Stockton Taylor, K.C., the only paid lawyer in British Columbia of the Western Federation of Miners, whose charges for his services, if street gossip is true (and Sydney Stockton Taylor, K.C., does not hesitate to use street and barroom gossip as FACTS when on a public platform), were so exorbitant that the officers of the Federation seriously considered the question of "firing" him, says he never charged union men a cent for advising them. The chief justice of British Columbia, who is a Liberal and who was* appointed to his position by the Liberal government, says, in effect, that Sydney Stockton Taylor, K.C., has been receiving fees from an organization that should be declared illegal b}' statute law. And some of the high officials of the Nelson branch of the ' .0 0 organization are trying to whip its members into voting solid for the Liberal Party candidate for Nelson City riding. During the four sessions of the last legislature, and John Houston, the candidate of the* Liberal-Conservative Party was a member of that legislature, NOT ONE LAW WAS PASSED THAT CAN BE CONSTRUED AS HOSTILE TO LABORING MEN. Surely laboring men must have had some friends among the members who supported the Dunsmuir and Prior governments. Who were these friends? John Houston was not a "flopper" in the house; he did not support the Gov-: eminent one session and the Opposition the next session. His I votes in the house are on record in the journals and proceedings; of the house, which are published; his votes and speeches.in;.] the Government caucuses are not. * ' -The above-is a statementsof-faet- not street- gossip. r -'���'' Independent Labor Party Refuses to Indorse: : the Liberal Party Candidate in Nelson Supporters of the Independent Labor Party held a meeting last night in Miners' Union hall. President J. H. Matheson was in the chair. The party decided not to put it candidate in the field this year, and that a.s a party it would not be wise to endorse either the Liberal or the Liberal-Conservative candidates. This last- action was not to the liking of Charles A. Mackay, who urged the claims of the Liberal Party for recognition. He was so persistent and made so many speeches that he was finally requested to take his seat by the chairman. He appealed from tho chairman's decision, and the meeting sustained the chair by an almost unanimous vote. This will proba- =bly-be-thelast-erl'ort>-of-Sidnej-~Stocktou= Taylor, K. C, to get an indorsement from laboring men's parties or organizations; although, it is said, an attempt will be made to got the members of thc Xelson Miners' Union to endorse Taylor tonight after the regular business of the union is finished. Candidate Sydney Stockton Taylor, Iv. C, has shown his hand. He expects laboring men to boost him into ollice. In appealing to their prejudices, he hopes to arouse latent hatreds. Such tactics are unworthy a candidate of u great party in so important a place as Nolson. which aspires to Ik; the political capital of southeastern British Columbia. The candidate of the Liberal-Conservative parly discussed the issues that must bedealt with by the incoming legislature. Candidate Taylor discussed his opponent's record as a friend of laboring nien. The one reviewed the platform of principles adopted by his party; the other attempted to show that laboring men in Nelson had only one staunch and disinterested friend���himself. The Tribune is of the opinion that the electors of Nelson expect their member in the legislature to represent all classes, not one class; and The Tribune believes that the working men of Nelson do not need to be instructed as to who has been, and who is now, a loyal friend. W. R. Will of New Denver is at the Madden. He is in Nelsou selling a carload of Capcllo ore to the Hall Mines smelter.

As a printor- journalist', he will be remembered for many a day by co-workers. As a writer he had a vein of humor Ihat wa.s original; and sometimes it wa.s better in verse than iu prose.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1003 ii- -:/ The election campaign may be said to be commenced. While the nominations have not all been made, enough have been made to start the ball rolling. It is significant; that the Kootenay and Boundary ridings are tlie first in the field, and this, too, without the assistaace of paid professional organizers. The, people of the eleven ridings in the southeastern portion of the province are paddling their own canoes, and that they are interested is evidenced by the way in which they have organized to do the work of their respective parties. This is a good omen. It means that the people, as a whole, and not a 7 would-be ruling class, are interested in < giving the province a government that ' should be conducted in the interest of all ; the people. Of the eleven ridings in the ��� Kootenays and Boundary section of Yale, the Conservatives nominated candidates on Saturday in Revelstoke, Cranbrook, Ymir, Nelson City, Slocan, and Grand Forks, and within two weeks nominations will be made iu Fernie, Greenwood ahd Columbia. Rossland is not ready. Kaslo will not hold a convention. The Liberals have nominated candidates in Greenwood, Slocan, Ymir, Fernie, Nolson City, and Kaslo ridings, and are preparing to nominate in the other ridings. The Socialists have candidates in Revelstoke,'Fernie, ahd Grand Forks, and the Independent Labor Party has a candidate in the Slocan. The Conservative candidates nominated are all of the "common" folk; none of them are of tlie "aristocracy," which refutes one of the stock arguments of their opponents. As a matter ^o_^cfc=j-fc_-*Liberal--Co^ a.whoie, is made tip of the "common" people, and thc "common" people have made Canada what it i.s today���the freest country on earth. Judging from repeated editorial expressions of the Vancouver News-Advertiser, that paper is trimming for a continuation of the hybrid governments that have so long held oflice in this province. If the News-Advertiser imagines the people want a continuation of such governments, it knows little of public opinion. There . i.s a small element in both political parties who would rather have a hybrid government than a straight party government if they are not to be the "big pollywogs in iii the puddle." The people euro liitlefor these "big pollywogs," but they do care for a government that will last nt least through one term of a legislative assembly. The News-Advertiser prates about the influences���Liberal and Cimsi-r- vative���^that upset the Prior government. The people care little about the governments the province has had in the past. It is the future they are looking forward to, and one thing they are uot specially hankering for, and that is to have a du- 'plicate of any of the governments that have been in power since 1890. The Laurier government asks for an appropriation to aid in securing a news service from Great Britain that will be independent'of the Associated Press. The newspapers of Canada print- too much news of the old country now and uot enough Canadian news. The Canadian Pacific Telegraph Company distributes Associated Press dispatches throughout Canada, and were that company to cut out'th&fOreign jiows it furnishes newspapers'daily and substitute purely Canadian 'news, it would be doing the country a good service. The Laurier government can find better uses for the money of the people than squandering it on press dispatches from the old country colored to suit the wishes of a few people in Eastern Canada. The postal service of the country, in which all the people are interested, can use any surplus the Laurier government has at its disposal. The lack of enterprise of the Coast newspapers is shown by the fact that neither 'the Vancouver News-Advertiser nor the Victoria Colonist, both morning papers, had a word of news regarding the nominating conventions held on Saturday for Nelson, Ymir, Slocan, Revelstoke, Cranbrook, and Grand Forks ridings, six of tho most important constituencies in the southeastern portion of the province. The Associated Press could send out reports of unimportant dissensions in the Liberal-Conservative party, but not a word of the regular conventions of the party. " Were Poplar Creek on the other side " of the boundary line, there wouldn't be " hotel accommodations iu the whole of " of Kootenay for the people who would " be rushing to it," is a remark frequently heard on the streets of Nelson. Well, it must be admitted we are a trifle slow on this side, but we last. We have the goods aud they don't get shelf-worn or moth- eaten. There is more good virgin mining ground in 3_:sst and West Kootenay districts than in the same area anywhere else in America, and prospectors are beginning to realize it. The reports coming from the great farming districts in the Northwest Territories and Manitoba as to the condition of crops are most encouraging. Thousands of settlers have gone into Manitoba and the Territories within the past twelve months, and if their hardships���and all pioneers have them���are offset by good crops the first year, they will not be discouraged if in tho second year the crops aro not up to their expectations. There is a great future for the immense country north of the main line of the Canadian Pacific. If half the money that will bo spent on politics in Kootenay in the next two mouths were spent in advertising Poplar Creek aud other promising mining districts, Kootenay would be better off. But "-th^Tf-bple^iffitst__iave politicl^aT-d what they must have they must pa}* for. The Rossland Miner used n column of its space today in denouncing the Liberal- Conservative Party in Nelson. As no one recognizes the Miner as a Liberal-Conservative newspaper, its denunciation of Liberal-Conservatives is nor likely to have any material effect on the party, either in Nelson or anywhere else. The Miner i.s a dirty, bird. The Kamloops Si'iirinel, of which |-\ ,1. Deane of the Nelson Duily News is owner, devotes over a column to explaining what the "Wandering Willies" of the Lilm-nl- Conservative party in Nelson will do to John Houston on election day, a question the people of Kamloops are not interested in. The .Sentinel had better explain what F. J. Deane did to earn that ��(1000. A Humorist's End. Alexander Pirie, one of the most widely known of Canadian newspaper men. is dead as the result of a pistol shot tired by his own hand. The wound whicli resulted fatally was inflicted about a week ago, and. according to the comments of comrades who knew Mr. Pirie well, he was the. last man in the world who would have been suspected of n desire to depart before life's natural span had heen compassed. The life of every company, the humorist in every assembly of tho "newspaper fraternity, ho seemed the embodiment of optimism. Always ready with tlie cheerful word and with the helping hand, the secret thoughts of his heart were as a sealed book to the busy world around him. In the mouth the merry jest, in tho heart the loneliness and despair which follow bereavement. About four years ago Mr. Pirie lost his wife. The few intimate friends who thought they divined the secrets of his inmost heart knew that he wa.s sorely slii'dcen. lint as he bore up bravely in the sight of men and was apparently a.s ready as ever with his sullies of wit, they had no idea of the weight of thc blow that had been inflicted. Now they know the wound had never healed, and, remembering that there is a family left doubly afflicted, they throw the mantle of ���harity over a deed prompted by a mind diseased. In these days of questioning, nor confined to iiny' particular race or people, about the sacredness of the marriage relation, it i.s interesting, and may be salutary, to turn from the records of the divorce courts to contemplation of the mourning, which could not be comforted, of the editor of the Dundns Banner. It is sud to think that grief for the dead occasionally drives men and women to tor- get their duty to the living; but us family life is admittedly the bulwark of the slate, it i.s comforting to turn to some evidence of the strength of domestic affection. Mr. Pirie's devotion was not the passing passion of ardent youth, lint the enduring love that had been subjected to and cemented by all the tests of life. One of Mark Twain's Yarns. So many strikes are now afloat in the' daily press about lost mines nnd wonder- new discoveries, that it may not be out of place to reprint some remarks of Mark Twain on the subject of rich gold deposits, which originally appeared forty years ago iu the California paper he was connected with: "I have just seen your despatch from San Francisco in Saturday's Evening Post," wroto Mark, "about gold in solution in Calistoga Springs, and about the proprietor having extracted 1000 ounces of gold from two barrels of water during the last fortnight, by a process' known only to himself. "This will surprise many of your readers, but it does not surprise me, for I once owned these springs myself. What does surprise me, however, is the falling off iu richness of the water. In my time the yield was a dollar a dipperfnl. I am not saying this to injure the property in case a sale is contemplated. I am saying it in the interest of history. It may be that the hotel proprietor's process is an inferior one. Yes that may be the fault. Mine was to take my uncle (I had an extra one at that time, ou account of his parents dying and leaving him on my hands) aud fill him up aud let him stand fifteen minutes, to give the water a Chance to settle. Well, then I inserted him in an exhaust receiver, which had the effect of sucking the gold out through his pores. I have taken more than ��11,000 out of the old man in less than a dtiy and a 'half.^;$|&__, "I should have hung onto those springs, but for the badness of the roads and the difficulty of getting gold to market. I consider that the gold yielding water is in many respects remarkable, and j*et no move remarkable than the gold-bearing air of Catgut canon, tip there towards the head of the auriferous range. This air, or this wiud, for it is a kind of trade wind which blows steadily down through GOO miles of the richest quartz croppings during an hour and a quarter each day except Sundays, is heavily charged with exquisitely fine, impalpable gold. "Nothing precipitates aud solidifies this gold so readily as contact with the human flesh heated by passion. The time that William Abrahams was disappointed in love he used to sit outdoors when the wind was blowing, and come again and begin to sigh, and I would extract over a dollar aud a half for every sigh. He sighed right along, and the time that John Harbinson and Alek Norton quarreled about Htirbinson's dog, they stood swearing at eacli other; and they knew how*, and what they didn't know about swearing they couldn't learn from you aud me, not by a good deal; and at the end of every three or four minutes they had to stop and declare a dividend. If they didn't their jaws would clog up so they couldn't get the big nine-syllable ones out at all, and when the wind was done blowing they cleaned up just a little over ��1600 apiece. I know these facts to be absolutely true; because I got them from a man whose mother I know personally. "I don't suppose a person could buy the water privileges at Calistoga now at any =pricerbu t-several-good-loeations^along the" course of the Catgut canon gold-bearing trade winds are for sale. They are' going to be stocked for the New York market. They will sell, too." Bridge Foreman Killed. Word reached Nelson last night that J. P. Manhart was accidentally killed ou the Lardo branch of the C.P.R. At first it was rumored that he had been killed while doing work for the railway as bridge foreman, J. Z. Choate, superintendent of bridges, with headquarters at Nelson, received definite word that Mr. Manhart wir killed while prospecting. It seems that he and a prospector named Cameron went up Canyon creek, near (rorrard, at the Trout lake end of the road, whore they did some work on a ledge. They put in a shot, and when it went off it "must have loosened the ground on which a dead hemlock stub of a tree stood, as it was fully half an hour after the shot was fired when Mr. Manhart was killed. He and Cameron were examining the ledge where they had put in the shot, when without warning the stub fell, killing Manhart instantly. The remains will arrive on the boat tomorrow. Mr. Manhart was well- known in Nelson, where he has resided since JISOO. Since coming hero he has been employed as'bridge foreman by the C.P.R. and was well liked by both tlie men under him aud Ihe superintendent. Mrs. Manhart left Nelson two weeks ago for a short visit to friends in Seattle, and she was summoned home last night, us was a son who was in Spokane. Mr. Manhart wa.s born in Glengarry county, Ontario, and was ~>~> years of age. He leaves a wife and nine children, the youngest being eight years of age. American Capital Interested. A party of gentlemen from Indiana who are interested in the Copper Dollar and Western Star groups are at Camborne, in the Lardeau district, nnd are inspecting their properties. The party is made up of J. R. Bottorff, C Lewis', A. Miirslmll, J. W. .Tones, of Elwood, Indiana; A. Dubois, Kokomn Indiana; C. K. Averill, Indianapolis, Indiana, and R. K. Floeter, Lima, Ohio. Chicago Capitalists Coming. Camborne Miner, loth: W". It. Myers, chief owner of the Kitsap group, who has been spending several months in the east, chiefly in Chicago, arrived at Camborne a few days since and will spend considerable time here looking after his interests. Mr. Myers was seen by a Miner man, to whom he expressed himself as follows: When I left here less than a year ago. Camborne one might say was just starting to grow, and I consider the progress made in so short a time is marvelous, both in the advance in the town and the mining industry which supports it. Since my former visit you have increased amazingly, aud I believe from my knowledge of the veins of free gold and silver ore whicli snrronud it thai there is bound to be a big and prosperous mining camp in this valley. Mining men in tlie States, continued Mr. Myers, are just beginning to hear of the Lardeau, and wheu thoy see and realize what a wonderful mineral belt is here, 1 am confident that capital will pour in for development. As it is you are doing remarkably well for a young crmp, but if we had such showings of mineral on our side of the line there would soon be 20,000 people in this valley. When I left. Chicago nn excursion was being arranged among some forty or fifty capitalists to visit the section about September 1st. Many of the visitors will include men already interested iu the Eva mine, and others who are looking for good investments. Tliey will he accompanied by Andrew F. Rosenberger, which is a guarantee that no effort will be spared to make their visit an enjoyable and profitable one, and the result, should be productive, of much good to this camp, since these gentlemen cannot fail to be favorably impressed, and where tiny lead others will follow, tis they are men of wealth and influence, who ou their return to Chicago will spread the fame of tho Lardeau. On being asked what his intentions were with regard to Kitsap, Mr. Myers said that he already had a small force at work on the property, and was waiting for his partner, B. C. Feeuy of the Chicago Board of Trade, to arrive, when they would let a contract to sink 150 feet on the vein. The government bounty on lead, he concluded, has giveu encouragement, as it will add to the price lead will sell for, and we hope to get our property in shape to take advantage of the bonus. The Kitsap group is a galena property, on which considerable exploratory work has already beeu done, resulting in the exposure" of two veins of galena, averaging 50 per cent lead with -10 ounces of silver to the ton, and gold vsilues of ��4.50. On His Way to Poplar Creek. "Jap" Kiug, one of the pioneer prospectors of the Kootenay Lake country, is in Nelson, coming over from Phoenix yesterday. Mr. King has had probably as wide an experience prospecting as any man who ever came to Kootenay. He has been iu nearly every mining district west of the Mississippi river. His latest venture was in the Tonapah district, Nevada. He says that district is 00 miles from a railway and is in a desert, yet there are thousands of people there, and bunereds of thousands of dollars have beeu spent in sinking shafts on wash gravel. There is a piece of ground not large in aera, but very rich ; but he does not believe the district is likely to be an extensive one. Water sells for ��1.50 a barrel, and hay and grain at 4 aud 5 cents a pound. Mr. King is on bis way to Poplar Creek, and as he is a good prospector, he should_owu">iu some good ground before fall. George Doyle is in from Cherry Creek, and reports _2 meu at work at the mine. Oue tunnel is in .'100 feet.No.S is in 2S0 feet, and No. il 140 feet. Nos. 1 and a arc on the Jedgejju___l_o.___j_ji_cro^ will average about 5 feet and the ore is free-milling, the values are gold and silver. The average mill value should bo about ��20. The mill plant is on the ground, and thc grading for the site is completed. The mill should be in operation in six weeks. The Money-Lender in Mexico. Mexico is thc ideal country for the money lender. Interest rates would make a Shylock turn in his grave with envy, as even nierchanfs never pay on overdrafts, secured with gilt-edged callateral, less that one and as high us ten per centum per month. The banks and merchandise business are mostly in the hands of the .lews, and under the liberal but stable banking laws, for every dollar deposited with the government the depositing bunks are allowed to issue ��2 in bunk notes. Miguel Lilt/., a Colorado Jew, came to Magdalena a few years ago a poor man, and started a little less than one-horse store. Having no competition worthy of the name, he has prospered uutil now he has a store which would bo a credit to a metropolitan city, and by. carrying a large general stock, 'people' come hundreds of miles to trade with him and he has completely eclipsed his rivals who trod in the same old rut, never carrying but a small inferior stock. He is rated at over a million, aud a short time ago when some London parties, with their usual lack of foresight, came to this country to buy a mine on which the bond had nearly expired and only had bunk of England certificates of deposit, a form of collateral totally unknown to the, benighted natives, Miguel Latz cashed the exchange to the amount of .. 100,000, and saved the bond. Think* of a country store keeper in the United States cashing a check at a moment's notice for ��100,000. The Sando- vals, also Hebrews, came to the border town of Nogales n few years ago aud began work as customs brokers. Today they have two bunks, one at Gunyinas and one at Nogales, and are rated at over a million. Fora shrewd moneylender Mexico offers the greatest inducements, and the natives have not that prejudice against the ���lews that other nations have. Alfred Beit, the London Jew, and partner of the last Cecil Rhodes, lately bought the whole street railway system of Mexico and Montreal Jews are pithing in a ��12.- 000,000 electric light and power plant in the valley of Mexico. The Rothschilds own and o-u-rule one of the largest copper mines in the world, ihe Boleo. al Santa i Rosalia, and the Seligman's and Lewis- l film's of New York control the immense .'monthly'* copper product of (l.ooo.llOO pounds of the famous Cananea mine. The Guggenhoinis of the smelter trust i.s a household word in Mexico. One of the favorite schemes of the shrewd Jewish money lender is to ������stand in" with some resilient manager of n big mine whose head oflice is in some foreign country, and induce him to only have a pay day every two months, and the result is thai ihe laborers are consequently borrowing money at a ruinous rate of interest, nnd the dense peons never see the point, as until the advent of foreign capital they never got any money at all, simply a rough fareof beans and corn, and they chuckle at the simplicity ('-) of the foreigner, in paying them in monev at all. [Penny-in-the-Slot Insurance. If you invest a penny, get au insurance ticket for that sum for one week, pocket a sharpened lead pencil and are further able to hike the coupon to the nearest tradesman and get a penny in the shilling discount fin any goods you buy���all this, bear iu mind, for the penny originally invested���yon will doubtless think you "have done well, says the London Dispatch. In a wci'k or two's time you will be able to do all this and more, for the Automatic and General Insurance Company are about to put up public places in London���by and by in the provinces���1000 automatic niii- chinces, guaranteed to do all that is stated in the opening paragraph. Some time ago a project was started with the abject of insuring the great industrial population against accidents of all kinds through the medium of a penny- in-the-slot machine. But that machine was not pi-oof against fraud. At the press view of the new machine on Thursday last if was demonstrated to (host; pivsiuit that fraud was absolutely impossible. The machine has the appearance of a very handsome clock, tells you the correct time fo a second, and when a penny was placed in the slot and a handle wtis pulled forward, out. dropped a pencil. This was picked lip and the "insurer" signed his name on a blank provided for the purpose. Another push of the handle was given, the name disappeared in a twinkling, and a square of paper bearing the insurance polity appeared. An exar.iinntion of the interior cogwheels and rolls of paper revealed the fact that the signature of the insurer, together with the exact time and date that the insurance had been effected, was deposited in a box tonvhich only recognized ollicials: of the company had access. Now if, say after insuring, you met with an accident within seven' days, yon apply to the. Law Accident Insurance Society for your allowance of five 10-shilling weekly payments, anil if your name is on the register retained by tho machine, yon get your money. Many tradesmen who have been interviewed have signed contracts agreeing to allow the discount mentioned in consideration of the advertisement they receive on the coupons. Anyone can insure up to the amount of their weekly wage. Thus a man earning ��2 weekly could insure himself against accident during the next seven diij-s, and iu the event of calamity during that time would be receiving ��2 weekly by investing in four coupons. The owners of the patent are making making arrangements to place such a machine in every factory, warehouse, and mill in the kingdom where large numbers of workmen are employed. The employers are only too glad to allow the mnchiue to be placed ou the premises, as it lessens their own risk from a liability point of view. It will pay the workman to invest his penny, because he gets it back at a local tradesman's. It thus costs him nothing to insure himself. He gets a lead pencil, and if he meets with any kind of accident whatever there is a certain sum due weekly to him. Poi'LAH Cheek, August 19.���The people are getting up a petition to have H.

More is known in Vancouver of the political situation at Nelson than is known in Nelson. The Vancouver World and the Vancouver Province, both Liberal, have special correspondents in Nelson, and according to the reports wired Irr these special correspondents, the Liberal-Conservative nominee for Nelson Cit}- riding has no chance whatever of defeating the Liberal nominee, -Sydney Stockton Taylor, K.C. All because the Liberal-Conservative nominee, John Houston, is opposed by men who profess to be Liberal-Conservatives. ' What a pity 'tis that the Liberal-Conservative Party iu Nelsou should nominate a candidate who has enemies ? 'Tis a pity that the Liberal-Conservatives of Nelson are so short-sighted as to believe that they are their own bosses; that they should think for themselves! But for the special information of the Vancouver World and the Vancouver Province and the Victoria Times, all Liberal newspapers, it may be stated that the Liberal-Conservatives of Nelson met iu a regularly called convention���the largest ever held iu Nelson���and nominated John Houston by acclamation; and that every delegate who attended the convention was and is now a Liberal-Conservative. It may also be stated for the information of these three Liberal newspapers, that thc LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE PARTY of Nelson, to a man, is supporting the nominee of the part}*. It may be stated further for the edification of these three moulders of Liberal thought, that John Houston has many stanch friends and supporters iu Nelsou who are not Liberal-Conservatives. Probably the knowledge of this fact is causing Liberal candidate Sydney Stocktou Taylor, K.C, more worry than any probable Liberal- Conservative defection is causing John Houston. GOOlTcmZENS There are few citizens of the United States now iu Nelsou. Most of them have become British subjects by naturalization, and it may be safely stated that all those who have changed their allegiance will make good citizens. Some of these newly made British subjects frankly admit that they have uot studied Canadian politics very closely, but they all know something of the politics of the United States, and they geueralty repl}.* on being asked how they stand politically, "O, I was a Republican (or I was a Democrat) over ou the other side, and I am on this side with the party whose principles are the nearest like that of the Republican part}* (or of the Democratic party.)" In the United States, the Repuplicau party stands for Protection and the Democratic party for Free Trade. Here in Canada, the Liberal-Conservatives stand for Protection and the Liberals for Free Trade. Iu the United States, wheu in power the Democrats refused to put their principles to a practical test. In Canada, the Liberals have done likewise. However, whether they were Democrats or Republicans, the men born in the United States who have become naturalized British subjects are the xight^md__of__=people==for^Koote4ia-yr-a^ them the better*. SIGNIFICANT It is significant that none of the candidates nominated b}** the Liberal-Conservative part}' in the Kooteuay-Bouudary ridings are lawyers. Is it because the people believe there were too many lawyers iu the last legislative assembly? or is it because they have uot that, implicit faith in lawyers that lawyers believe they should have? The Tribune is of opinion that it is thc result of the effort lawyers make to "hog everything in sight" for their profession on every political opportunity. Lawyers make good legislators, but their average goodness is uot above that of legislators of other professions or callings. There were ten lawyers in the last legislative assembly,-and it is safe to say- that they took up nine-tenths of the time of the house iu windy- discussions that were most tiresome aud which resulted in no good to the country.

TIhi best evidence that the Liberal-Conservatives of Nelson City riding are a parly with n purpose was the personnel of the delegates who attended tlie party's nominating convention on Saturday night. Forty odd delegates and their alternates were in attendance, and every o e of them is a man of influence in the community. The meeting was open to Ihe public aud the press. It was called to order by Fred Starkey, president of the Liberal-Conservative Association of Nelson, who wa.s also a delegate from the East ward. He asked that a chairman be named, and William Irvine, a delegate from the West. ward,_was voted to the chair. George A. Hunter, also from the West ward, was made secretaiy. W. F. Teetzel, W. B. McLean, and J. E. Amiable were appointed a committee on credentials, and they reported tlie following named entitled to seats, and each delegate answered "Here" when his name was called by the chairman of the committee: East Ward���GeOrge W. Bartlett, Gus Erickson, .1. A. Gilker, ,1. A. Irving, Jacob Dover, J. A. Kirkpatriek, J. J. Maloue, W. E. McCandlish, W. B. McLean, Dr. W. O. Rose, Thomas Sprout, Charles E. Sewall, Fred Starkey, W. F. Teetzel, nnd Robert Weir. West Ward���Joseph Bradshaw, .T. Z. Choate, William Irvine, Duncan M. Me- -Donald, George A. Hunter, Alexander ,'Mnnro, Gilbert Stanley, Harry H. Ward, und David McBeath. All the. alternate delegates were also present und a goodly number of supporters of the party. Tlie chairman announced, after Undelegates were seated, that, nominations were in order. Dr. W. O. Rose in a near, speech presented the name of John Houston, and the nomination was seconded by J. Z. Choate. No other names were mentioned, and the nominations were on motion closed and John Houston declared tlie nominee of the party by acclamation, chairman Irvine making the announcement, in a complimentary speech. The candidate was then called for, and on arising the applause was of the kind that makes a mail feel that lie is among friends. The Tribune long-hand journalist was present at tlie meeting, but, ho was so engaged that he could not take down the speech, and the readers of The Tribune will never know what they missed by not, hearing it. Mr. Houston's opening remarks were: "I can only thank you for the nomination tendered me in as few words as possible. Were I to consult my own feelings, I would decline the nomination ; but were I to decline, I would be ungrateful to the men who have stood behind me in so many contests; stood behind mo when I have been vilified and traduced,- not, because of my political actions, but because of the hatred engendered through tlie rancor of our local strifes. I do not believe that there is a man in Nelsou who can say that I have been untrue to Nelsou or to my friends. No man can accuse me of being a flopper, cither in busiuess, or in politics, or in friendship. It is said I have many imperfections. I probably have more imperfections than any fifty men in Nelson all put together, but every man, woman, and child in Nelson knows what, my imperfections are. I have never tried to conceal any of them. Seeing thnt you have selected me to be your standard bearer, I will go into the fight to win; not because of any advantage it may give ine personally, for I have been too long in politics not to know that, an honest man does not better himself by being in political life. I have taken an active part in politics in Nelson for the past, 14 years, and I am poorer today than when I tramped iu from Sprout's Lauding to ^wh-i'e^this^eity-^iiow^,stands. -----Probably-^ however, Nelson's reputation of scuding honest men to represent her iu the legislative assembly has not hurt Nelson.*' Thc speaker made no reference whatever to the men who, claiming to be Liberal-Conservatives, are opposing him, and nn j- reference made to his opponent was complimentary. He said that a party, like an individual, must have the courage of its convictions in order to he either respected or successful. He also said that Liberal-Conservatives were not made up of ont? class or confined to one* locality; that I he parly included within its ranks all classes of people, and good evidence that its rank and file were well scattered lliroughout Kootenay was tlie fact that every town, village, hamlet, mine, and farming valley was represented in the convention held for tlit* Ymir riding during the day. Mr. Houston promised to make u speech at his ratification meeting, whicli would be arranged forin the course of the week by bis campaign committee. .1. F. Burne, J. A. Kelly, and It. It. Lowe, who attended the Ymir convention as delegates," were called on, and all tliree said they believed the party would be successful at the polls, as the candidates were men in whom tho people had confidence. After the speeches the platform of the party adopted at Revelstoke last, fall wa.s endorsed. William Irvine was elected chairman of the campaign committee, which is made up of the delegate's and the alternate delegates elected at tlie ward meetings. George A. Hunter was elected secretary of tlie committee and J. A. Gilker treasurer. The meeting (Mime to an end with three cheers and a tiger for John Houston. of tht; Nelsou Carpenters' Union. Mr. Burns is supporting Mr. Taylor, and, no doubt, is doing his best to influence individual carpenters to vote for him. Tlie unions of Nelson are not taking part in politics a.s organizations, and they are doing right. Individual members of the different unions, however, arc taking an active part which is undoubtedly their right. John Burns is n pronounced Liberal and he is supporting the candidate of thnt party. iltou, and others working in the interest of S. S. Taylor, who lias been a nominated candidate'for two months; *!04 were made at the office of the collector of voters: -1(1 were made before John Elliot, E. C. Wragge, R. S. Lennie, W. A. Macdonald, R. VV. Hnnrington, and R. M. Macdonald; and '! were made before outside commissioners. Thc Liberal-Conservative nominating convention for Grand Forks riding wns held at Grand Forks on Saturday. Delegates wore present from every polling place. Three candidates were placed in nomination, and it took eleven ballots to nominate. Ernest Miller, lawyer; George A. Fraser, druggist, and Georgo M. Runi- bergor, real estate agent, were tlie. candidates. Miller led .until the last ballot, when the supporters of Rumberger went to Fraser, and nominated him. Fraser was a resident of Rossland, when that town was incorporated in 1897, and was elected oue of the aldermen. He headed the poll. Fraser is popular, he is n good worker, and he lias good chances of being a wiuner. The Liberal-Conservatives of Revelstoke riding, iu convention on Saturday, nominated Tom Taylor, who was a member of the last legislature. A carpenter writes The Tribune as follows : "I notice by last Tribune that John Burns, it Nelson carpenter, had promised the support of the Carpenters' Union to S. S. Taylor. Now, sir, the Carpenters' Union is not a political organization, and if the Nelsou Carpenters' Union have endorsed the candidature of S. S. Taylor, they do so against the constitution of the Carpenters and Joiners Union of America. Tlie Carpenters' Union do uot take issue a.s an organization in political contests. Such interest is strictly against the constitution. There are 10 or 12 other organizations that, are non-political." The writer of the above is mistaken. The Tribune did not state that John Burns had promised S. S. Taylor, K. C, tho support The Rossland Miner says it would be a crime to elect ex-premier Prior to the legislative assembly. If The Tribune is not mistaken, every delegate from Rossland to. the Revelstoke convention last fall favored colonel Prior for leader of the Liberal-Conservative Party. If colonel Prior was a good man in September last, he is a good man now. There may be differences of opinion as to the wisdom of some of his political acts, yet there is no reason why lie should be branded as a criminal by newspapers like the Rossland Miner, for while it is branding Prior as a criminal it is doing, the same for some of tho most conspicuous Liberal-Couservatives in Rossland. , . "Mc and Jack Hamilton cau control the railway vote,' and we will see that, John Houston does not get it," i.s what a prominent trainman says when ho is discussing the political situation in Nelson. The Tribune i.s of opinion that raihvay men do their own thinking, and that they do not till think alike ou political questions any more than they do on other questions that concern the people as a whole. Boston*, August 18.���A report on the world's apple crop of lllO'i lias just been issued by the Boston Chamber of Commerce. It shows Great Britain short of all fruits, notably apples. Europe is generally short of apples, but with a heavy crop of Valencia oranges and Almeria grapes. Now England iu the aggregate will have a very generous crop. New York state reports plenty of apples; the middle west only fair: the far west heavy. Canada also will have, quite a heavy yield. The quality average is excellent. N'uw-Youk, August 18.���A Herald dispatch irom Loudon says it has beeu officially stated by Mr. Hnyiuan, consul general of the republic of Liberia iu Loudou, that diamonds have been discovered in the country, and following this it is announced that a prospecting party sent out liy the Western Africa Gold Concessions Company, Limited, has returned with fine specimans of coroudum iu the form of both rubies and sapphires.

"I will bet ��5 that John Houston is defeated," remarked a C.P.R. railway conductor in a barber shop today.

A special meeting of the Liberals of Newcastle district, held on Friday evening last at Ladysmith, to nominate a candidate for the coming provincial election, D. W. Murray was unanimously chosen as standard bearer. There was only one other candidate spoken of, D. Thomas, but the feeling was overwhelmingly in fa- V(u- of Mr. Murray and Mr. Thomas gracefully acquiesced and will cordially support the choice of the meeting.

BuoiiNOMA-f, Alabama, August IS.��� A special from Heflin, Alabama, says: News has reached here that three men have been killed and ten wounded in Randolph county by a uegro named Sledge. Last Friday a party of eleven white men working ou tho public road at Beaver creek near Lamar asked permission to eat a few melons in his patch. They were told to help themselves. The men began to cut and slash melons and vines. The negro warned them to stop and theu went after his gun. Returning he emptied his weapon into the crowd wounding nine out, of the eleven aud then tied. A posse headed by the sheriff overtook the negro near u bridge over the Tamapoise river, five miles from Wodowe. He wes ordered to surrender, but replied b.y firing his shotgun, instantly killing Thomas Ebert and Robert Ford. Sledge was accosted on the road today by James Moore and "Bud" Wilson.

Rawlf, president of tlie Northern Klovnlor Company, returned yesterday from si 1 rip ex- lending as far west as Edmonton, and tlie news that he brings is most reassuring. Mr. Bawlf is thoroughly familiar with lln> weather conditions and his views should do much to dispel any misapprehension regarding the grain yield in the Canadian west. In conversation with a representative of the Free Press Saturday evening, _lr. Bawlf said the crop around l.duinn- ton is a magnificent one, quite tlie equ.vl of anything he has seen there during ihe past ten years. Some of the oats and wheat are as high asthe fences. The grain is well tooled out and the heads are iilliiiir excellently. It has been rather wet for the past two weeks, but the crop has been progressing favorably, and wilh good weather from now on, cutting will commence iu about two weeks hence. The crop conditions around Calgary, and along the entire Calgary & Edmonton road tire quite as favorable, says Mr. Bawlf ns those in the Edmonton district proper. There hits been a great deal more rain throughout that section of the country than in Manitoba and eastern Assiniboia, and this accounts for I lie excellent condition of the crops. Mr. Bawlf does not anticipateaiiy great danger from frost because it seldom comes when there is such a wet season as the present one. "Mr. Bawlf saw no indication of rust 011 thc wheat and heard no complaints dining his trip. When spoken to regarding I he crops in eastern Assiniboia nnd Manitoba, Mr. Bawlf gave it as his opinion that while the yield would be somewhat less than last year, the sample would be excellent.

The Nelson Tribune is the only newspaper in British Columbia that has/from its first^ issuB^stea^fg-^ Protection, and has always maintained that the people of the mining districts ofBritish Columbia should have the same Protection as is given the people of other sections of Canada. The Nelson Tribune also stands for the up-building of Kootenay as against the up-building of localities in the state of Washington. Every ton of ore mined in Kootenay and the Boundary and smelted and refined in British Columbia means work for men "who would live in British Columbia, and who would spend a portion of their wages in building and furnishing homes in towns in British Columbia. The Nelson^ Tribune also stands for equal rights in provincial politics, believing that British 'Columbia as a whole cannot be best governed by men who r^ \L1 from one tu wn or one section oi zne prov-| ince. The Nelson Tribune ? * V.i f- i i [Continued from First Page] exclude both Chinese and Japanese. At one session it had passed a bill that was practically the Natal Act, but the Liberal government at Ottawa disallowed it. At another session the bill was reintroduced and passed, and wa.s again disallowed by the Liberal government at Ottawa. For the third time, if he was not mistaken, the same actiou was taken at Victoria, with the same result at Ottawa. At the last session, the bill was again introduced and passed, and it is said the Ottawa government will allow it to become a law. Tlie speaker maintained that if every Chinese and Japanese now in the province were suddenly removed to the south of the international boundary line, no important industry iu the province would Lie materially injured. One white man or woman or boy or girl is worth more to the province than a hundred Chinese. INDUSTRIAL DISPUTES. Industrial disputes was next taken up. . The speaker contended that strikes invariably resulted iu injury to both parties immediately iuterested as well as to the general public. Even when strikes were won by the one side or lockouts by the other, "he advantages gained did not com- p3nsate the general public for their losses, lilaborate and expensive machinery was provided for settling disputes between individuals, and it seemed ridiculous that machinery could uot be provided to adjust the greater disputes so frequently arising between bodies of men and those who employ them. While he might not go as far as favoring the settlement of such disputes by compulsory arbitration, ho wonld certainly support legislation that would provide .for the compulsory invest igalion of such disputes, leaving to public opinion the right to render the final verdict. ENCOURAGE HOME *___SUFACrUl"t_S<_. The last plank of the party's platform deals with "Home Manufactures." It, the speaker claimed, was a plank that was one of the fundamental principles of the Liberal-Conservative party. The party wheu in power at Ottawa adopted Protection as its policy, aud it had carried out that policy by legislation that had made Canada independent. Canada was now one of the manufacturing countries of the world, and its manufactures ranked high. British Columbia, through its legislature, should do everything possible to build up manufactories in the province, for no section of Canada had such vast and so varied resources in tlie way of raw material. PROVINCIAL CREDIT. Mr. Houston said he had a plank or two of his own that he intended to explain. Candidates generally took that much freedom with tlie party. One of his planks ' was that the credit of the province could not be made good as it should be until the annual expenditures were kept within the annual revenue. He could see no good reason why a British. Columbia 8 per cent debenture should not sell at as high a price as a 3 per cent debenture of the Dominion of Canada. British Columbia had as valuable assets, according to its area, as had the Dominion. Then what was the reason the credit of the province was so low? The reason was that the expenditures, year, after' year, exceeded the revenue, and apparently no government had the courage to undertake retrenchments that would bring about effective results/'Large savings could be made annually in the civil service alone, without in the slightest degree impaling the service. Why should a dozen men be employed to do work that could be done by half that number? Civil servants should be paid good salaries, but they should earn their salaries. PROSPERITY AND GOOD TIMES. In concluding his speech, Mr. Houston said he had during the week received a letter from a former resident of Nelson who-was now living in the county of Bruce, Ontario. He wrote saving that times were good, and crops were good, and the weather was good, but he wished he was back in British Columbia. So with the people of Canada. The finance minister of the Laurier government took great credit for having a surplus of $.'0,- 000,000 to $15,000,000, but that surplus was not the result of the Liberal party's policy of Tree Trade, but directly the result of the Liberal-Conservative party's policy of Protection, and that if times -were gopdrand=the=crops^goodr-aud^the" weather good, the Conservatives had more right to claim it as a result of then' wisdom than the result of the wisdom of their opponents, and that if British Columbia went Conservative in October good times and stable government would surely follow. Mr. Houston spoke for an hour and a quarter, and received generous applause at times, aud when he took his seat the applause was much the same ns if the meeting had beeu a mass meeting ot* the Liberal-Conservative party. Sidney Stockton Taylor, K.O, followed and spoke for over an hour, lie skipped over provincial issues as if they wen; not important. He pronounced thc Grand Trunk deal as one of the grandest of modem times, aud then devoted all his time to showing how great and how disinterested a friend he has been fo laboring men. He attempted lo mislead the audience several times by making statements that he could not prove, and in each instance wns promptly called clown by Mr. Houston. While he did not throw "mud," he did what is considered worse. He made statements that ho knew were not true. Before he had concluded his speech, fully one-third of the audience had left, nnd by the time that Alfred Parr, the Liberal candidate for Ymir riding, had spoken ten minutes, the audience had dwindled down to less than thirty. It was announced that William Ebbs, the well-known Socialist, would be one of the speakers. Mr. Ebbs -was present, but he said the announcement placed him in a false position; that it made him appear as if he was supporting candidate Taylor. He was not supporting that gentleman, but was supporting the Independent Labor Party, and he refused to appear on tlie platform unless given tne privilege of making a statement at the opening of the meeting. Mr. Houston was willing that Mr. Ebbs be allowed the privilege, but the Liberal managers of the meeting could not see their way clear to do so, and Mr. Ebbs took a seat in the audience. W. C. Wells was in Golden last week. He informed tlie Golden Star ho Lad decided to enter the contest. He did not state what he \vou[d come out as, but the Literals are confident he will ,be their candidate. I Tallo* I Made ��� PANTS! AT f J. A.

C., given members of the _?elsoii Tailors' Union during the six years he has resided in Nelson? John L. Retallack, Liberal candidate in Kaslo riding, is in Nelson today. He says he did not have an easy time at Ottawa convincing the members of parliament of tlie necessity of treating the silver-lead mine owners of British Columbia fairly. Backers of Reliance are wearing smiles and gingling gold and silver coins; backers of Shamrock are grinning nnd bearing it. Postmaster Gibson lias contributed live dollars to the Liberal-Conservative campaign fund, till because he would rather back a Scotchman who owns a yacht than a Scotchman who knows how to sail one. .Rev. W. J. Hiudley of Vancouver will preach in the Congregational church tomorrow evening. He is a strong and interesting speaker, with considerable originality in his way of putting things. At the close of the sen-ice there will be a short conference with the members and adherents of the church. The Nelson Board of Trade must keep agitating, if it hopes to accomplish anything in tlie way of improving facilities for handling business from Nelson as a center. It took nearly five years agitation to secure a daily mail service on so important a line as the Crow's Nest branch of the C.P.R. If it takes a proportionate length of time to secure direct postal facilities between Nelson and Trout Lake, what a lot of agitating remains to be done.

Sparkling, refreshing CASCADE Beer. Railways in Africa. Lord Cromer is a great administrator, says South Africa, one of those born organizers who upholds the genius of the British for setting other people's affairs in order, but, as is natural to a man whose word is law, he is at times apt to speak ox cathedra when the matter merely demands a subjunctive treatment. He has accomplished wonders in Egypt, at one time with the aid of a youg man named Alfred Milner, and he may be excused for regarding the Nile as solely under his own charge, but we cannot see why he should endeavor to damp the Cape-to- Cairo railway line. In his report on the Soudan, recently issued, he writes: "The necessity aud practicability of a j-aUwa-f_(yfronrKhar.tQuni).to-Ugancla,ancl- so onward to tho south, has, I venture to think, never yet been shown, and possibly, in view of the very great physical difficulties to be encountered, never will be shown." Mr. Rhodes' great scheme has nothing chimerical about it, and as the permanent way stretches north mile by mile from Buluwayo, as the earthworks are completed far in advance, as thc engineers and surveyors mark out tho line still further north right up to the first of the great lakes, the practicability which lord Cromer shies tit is no longer a matter of doubt. It is the settled policy of the directors of the Chartered Company to carry the railway onward from the Zambesi, through Lewaiiika's country to the southern end of lake Tanganyika, which is iu British territory. By an agreement concluded by Mr. Rhodes, with the Ger- ninn imperial government the Chartered Coinpain- has the right, under certain conditions, to continue the railway through German east Africa to the frontiers of Lganda. In any case Mr. Rhodes did not contemplate himself carrying out tlie railway beyond Uganda. He held that the building of the remaining link, that connecting Egypt and tho Soudan with Uganda, was the work of thc Anglo- Egyptian authorities, and we may take it that when the rail head reaches 'Uganda the Egyptian authorities will have reconsidered thoir decision, and will be reaching well down past Fashoda. When it is considered how difficult navigation is south of Khartoum owing fo the sud, a railway is a necessity for the Soudan. CASCADE, the i-necii of beers. Board of Trade Meeting. A regular meeting of the Nelson Board of Trade was held last night. The filling named were present: W. P. Tierney, Peter Lamont, mayor Rose, E. Y. Gigot, Fred Starkey, R. M. Hood, George Nunn, I. G. Nelson, D. J. McLachlan, R. R. Hedley, William Irvine, W. W. Boer, and secretary Goodeve. W. H. Jones, tin* job printer, was made a member. A report wtis made through the chairman that the hotels of Nelson claimed tliey were getting more patronage from tourists than they had got in former years. A letter was read from G. C. Hodge, dis trict superintendent of the telephone company, stating that he had taken tho matter of extending the telepln me service from Nelson to Ymir up with tin- company as requested by the board on the occasion of his recent visit to the const. He has since received a letter from the management -stating that if he could make satisfactory arrangements regarding tlie use of the poles of the Spokane Falls & Northern telegraph line for stringing the wires on, that ho could go ahead with the matter. Fred Starkey thought it wouldbea good move for tho board to follow this up and ask thc company to extend its lines to the Lardeau. At present to send a telegram even to Trout Lake or Ferguson it had to first go to Revelstoke and from there by telephone. There was no reason why Revelstoke should have direct telephone communication with the Lardeau and Nelson should be isolated. It meant the turning aside of lots of business from the cit3*. He accordingly made a motion to the effect that the secretary be instructed to write to the company asking them to extend their system into the Lardeau. This motion was seconded by P. Lamont and unnnimouslv carried. forget your troubles in CASCADE Beer. George Powell, a Victoria lawyer, is likely to be the candidate of the Liberal party in Esquimalt riding.
