e& fm4to, f A,tsfy&m7 * -. >t THE TKIDUNE IS THK OLDEST NEWSPAPER PRINTED IX THE KOOTENAYS Saturday, September 26, 1903 NELSON IS THE TRADE CENTER OF SOUTH- EASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA ^Public Meetings in Nelson Have Been Well Attended, Were Evenly Divided, bat Were Not Fairly Reported. Public meetings, it is said, do not change votes. The public meeting iu Nelson Monday night was attended b}*- not less than 450 people, 300 of whom will vote in Nelson. Judging from the applause, the sides were eventy divided. The applause at no time was general, which goes to prove two things : (i) that the crowd was partisan; (2) that neither of the speakers "could touch the S3Mnpathetic spot that is in every human. Hon. Charles Wilson, president of the council in the McBride government, spoke on behalf of the Liberal-Conservative Party. He presented the partj^'s case clearly, and made a speech that was sensible and free from extravagant statements. He did not revile the Liberal Party or any of its leaders, while comparing its work with that of the Liberal-Conservatives. The thought- .s ful elector who heard Mr. Wilson would place him not among men who would evolve a great governmental policy, but among nien who would be safe in council. S. S. Taylor, the candidate of the Liberal Party for Nelson Cit}' riding, is a speaker who shows his training. When he speaks for a client in court, the speech is prepared beforehand and its delivery is merely a matter of course. When he speaks on a political platform, aud is.required to think as he speaks, he is neither forceful nor eloquent. He has a flow of words, but there is little meaning iu them. He is uot a reasoner, therefore he is not convincing. The partisans of his party cheer him much the same as. a hired claque do in a cheap theatre���because it is a part of the play. . But it is with the reports of these public meetings that The Tribune will deal. No more untruthful and one-sided reports were ever published of public meetings than the reports that have been published in the Nelson Dailyy News andf;tne Rossland Miner. /Nelson ha^ha^ well attended. Both were very evenly divided. The first was called by the Liberals, and the candidate of the Liberal-Con- . ser-vative Party certainly got as much, or more, applause than did his opponent. The second was called by the Liberal-Conservatives, at which the candidate of the part}*- did not speak. His opponent did speak, and he got apparently as much applause as did the gentleman who spoke for the Liberal-Conservatives. Why newspapers dependent on the support of people who are uot all of oue way of thinking should publish so outrageously ' unfair reports of political meetings is ' beyond understanding, unless it is because the men who publish the newspapers are so foolish as to believe that their newspapers have influence ; that their readers will belive anything, no matter how absurd, they read. rtas^safe to say the public meetings in Nelson have not changed a voter; and it is equally safe to say that the reports of the public meetings which have appeared iu the Nelson Daily News and the Rossland Miner have uot influenced a single voter who has read them. Political Situation Reviewed. The Tribune cacli week has reviewed the progress oi' the campaign a.s fairly as a newspaper can that has political bias. It has not niisreportetl public meetings and it has not belittled Liberals who aro conducting their campaign on fair linos. In Ymir riding, the candidate of tho Liberal party is, in the opinion of Tho Tribune, a blatherskite and a man wholly lackiug in principle. He pretends to bo a friend of Joseph Martin, yet he would throw Martin without hesitation. Ho pretends to be a Labor man, yet he spurned a nomination from the Independent Labor Party. One thing the people of the district will be well rid of after October 3rd, that is, "Alf" Parr. In Nelson City riding, S. S. Taylor, K.C., the candidate of the Liberal Party, has pandered like a demagogue to one class, and the result is that the electorate, who are not of that class, have determined to let Mr. Taylor stay at home. John Houston will defeat him as sure as the sun will rise and sot on election day. In Kaslo riding, Hon. Eobert F. Green will have an easy victory over his two opponents. In Slocan riding, where the labor men have acted like men of principle, the light will be close. In that riding the Labor men have stuck to their platform, and their candidate is appealing to the electorate on the principles enunciated in that platform. He does not pretend to be a Liberal- Laborite. He is a man. Against him is "Old Bill" Hunter, who is fighting his own fight in his own way, and taking pleasure in it. It is an even break, aud ' when the election is over there will be no hard feelings in the Slocan. In Cranbrook riding, Thomas Caven will win against Dr. King, because he is making it his business to see voters personally. W. R. Ross will be elected in Fernie riding because he has the voters behind him. Iu Revelstoke, "Tom" Taylor is up agaiust "Jim" Kellie, who is posing a.s an Independent, and will win out. George A. Fraser has tho battle won in Grand Forks riding, nnd the Liberals admit it. In Greenwood riding, Dr. Spankie has two opponents and will win out. Rossland is close, but Hon. A. S. Goodeve should be able to overcome lawyer Macdonald, There will be seven Liberal-Conservatives elected from Kootenay and the Boundary sure. On Vancouver Island, The Tribune's advices are that Comox, Newcastle, Cowichau, and Esquimalt will return Grant, Bryden, Skinner, and Pooley. Victoria will return two more sure. Seven from Kootenay and the Boundary and six from the Island makes 18. Cariboo will return two, Lillooet has returned one, Yale, Kamloops, Okonagau, and Similkameen will all go one way; so here are 8 more, making 21, or half the house. Siu-o- ly Vancouver and the lower Fraser river riding and the upper coast can return enough Liberal-Conservatives to give the party a good working majority. Was Two to One For Wright. The Liberals had a meeting at Trail on Thursday night. Candidate Parr was supported by candidate Macdonald and Smith Curtis. Candidate Wright was represented by A. H. McNeill of Rossland. Fifty-nine electors were present, and of the 59, 40 are enrolled members of the Liberal-Conservative association and are supporting Harry Wright. Yet the meeting is reported as a Liberal triumph iu both the Rossland Miner and the Nelson Daily News. SED EVERYONE Nelson has hold its first exhibition, aud there is but one expressed opinion heard, and that is that tho exhibition was a success in every way. But The Tribune will only speak of tho exhibition as showing what the southeastern part of tho province is capable of in the way of producing- food products. Had anyono said five years ago that tliere would be nn exhibition of agricultural products at Nelson in li)0_, thoy would have been laughed at. Yet in 19013 there was exhibited at Nelson nearly one hundred varieties and kinds of fruits and vegetables entered by a hundred different persons, whose farms, orchards and gardens are scattered throughout Kootenay and southern Yale districts. It was a revelation, and The Tribune predicts that within five years the people of southeastern British Columbia will be producing hot only what they consume, but will be shipping thousands of boxes and crates of fruits and vegetables to the Northwest Territories and to Manitoba. Another creditable phase of the exhibition is, that it was a success financially. There will be uo deficit to be met by passing around the hat. The directors of the Nelson Agricultural and Industrial Association will have a clean balance-sheet to show the members of the association. Against much opposition and ridicule, John Houston secured an appropriation of $2000 from the provincial legislature, and the Jf-SOOO was in the bands of the treasurer of the association BEFORE the exhibition was opened to the public. Notes of the Exhibition. Among the Trail visitors to the fair were mayor and Mrs. Schofield, D. F. Jelly the orchardist, y George L. Merry, and J. H. Clay the market gardener. Mr. Jelly and Mr. Clay captured nearly BO prizes between them. G. O. Buchanan of Kaslo had a number of exhibits-of fruit of his own growing and that of his neighbors. He took first prizes for Beiteuheim'er and Colvert apples and second for Pacific Coast Trailing blackberries. - He made entries for J. Ridell and J. Clark, and the former took second for Wealthy .'apples and. tlie latter second for Gravenstien apples. ������������.. C. W. Busk of Kokanee creek and Rev. J. Calvert of New Denver had splendid exhibits of their work as amateur photographers. The New Denver divine capr tarred the red ribbon. .... Edwaxd.i..Grii5zelljE-j__the^ Hoover���stroet - florist, made a fine exhibit of potted plants and flowers, including nearly every variety that can be grown in this climate. He was awarded a diploma. One of the unique exhibits was a catch of trout frozen in a block of ice. Ed Bosquet, Nelson's champion fisherman, made the catch, and the freezing was done in P. Burns & Co.'s cold storage plant. George W. Hale & Co. exhibited designs of stoam, electric, and gasoline launches and row boats, and thoir friends say they- should design a yacht to capture the America's cup. J. H. Clay, who has a farm a short distance up the gulch from Trail, made splendid exhibits of vegetables, and captured 15 first and 0 second prizes. He also took the sweepstakes in that class. The soil around Trail is well adapted for vegetables and the climate is probably as mild as in any section of Kootenay, There were a number of exhibits of wood carving done by amateurs, which were most creditable. =^AUa^_Loaii,_tUe.photpgrapher,.exhibited. a fine collection of photographs. There was wheat in the sheaf from Kokanee ranch aud clover fiye feet high- There wore half a dozen entrios of sunflowers, the tallest stalk being over 12 feet high and the flower 14 inches in diameter. Onslow Newliug took first prize for Clapp's Favorite pears, and James Tarry exhibited Duchess d'Augeliuc pears from his Slocan river ranch, D. F. Jelly is Trail's orchardist, aud his exhibits of fruit show that he understands the business. He captured a number of prizes for apples aud ivhivs, W, H. Covert of Grand Forks niti4o as fine a display of frait as will be mode at any fair in thc province. It included apples, peaches, pears, and plums. The fruit was clean, ripe, of good size, aud of excellent flavor. Grand Forks may be a smelting, center, but Mr, Covert has proved that it is also iu the center of a splendid fruit district. There was an exhibit of oil from the famed Flathead river oil fields, which are not open to locators because of a lack of backbone in someone, No finer crabapples will be exhibited at the Spokane fruit fair than were thope entered at Nelson's flrst fair. They were line in size, in color, and in flavor. The plums, peaches, grapes, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and prunes were not only remarkable for the variety, but for the si_e and quality. Hon. R. F. Green of Ka,slo is classed as a politician, but lie is also a fruit grower. In his absence from home his son "gob" entered fruit, and carried off first prize for plums. Fred J. Squires, Nelson's pioneer mo*.-.- chant tailor, had a display of tents and awnings of hjs own manufacture. He makes a specialty of protean touts. McLachlan Brothers mode a good display of stoves and ranges, ami n good exhibit of builders' hardware. The Mason &rRjsc;h Company of Toronto had on exhibition pianos, pianolas, inil Morley & Co. in the same booth made a display of musical instruments. D. McArthur & Co. made a flue displny of furniture, showing handsome sets for the parlor, including the latest designs in Davenports. In furniture for dining rooms, the buffets in oak nnd plate glass wero most attractive j Braokman-Ker Milling Company, Lim - ited, exhibited rollcdjoats, rolled wheat, and self-rising buckwlieat flour from then- mills at Strathcona, Alberta. Shackletou & Simj-on of Nelson had on exhibition marble iand granite monuments, made from marble quarried near Salmo and Kaslo and granite quarried at Nelson. |; Hugh H. Ross, engineer of P. Burns & Co.'s cold storage plant; exhibited chairs and stools made from horns, which showed Mr*. Ross to be an artistic workman. Nelson Hardware Coiuipany had exhibits of sporting goods, such as guns and fishing tackle. I������' The Nelson Gas Woyis had a display of gas heating and cooking stoves, and its managers pointed with'pride to the exhibits of bread baked oni their stoves by the ladies of Nelson. j , Patenaude Brothers exhibited the most complete set of watchmaking tools in the province. They also iipde a nice display of watches and jewehr-j.! Why Laboring Men j[ Should Vote for John Hoaston. "Thrico is he armed who Kath his quarrel itist." There are two phases of the contest now before the electorate of this city. The first views it from the/standpoint of federal and provincial politics, while the other regards it from] the narrower but probably more vital -point of view���that of the personalities and records of the respective candidates'and their relations to the city of Nelson. ' j >- Many of the voters oil this occasion will exercise their franchise at the call of party and. are not likely to be swayed at this juncture by whatever arguments that may be presented one way or the other. With the Labor Party, however, the majority of members are presumably free from the dictates of either of the great political parties, and are everywhere looking at the two candidates purely frpin the personal point of view, with the intention of choosing whichever one appeals to them as being the best man to represent us at Victoria. This appeal, therefore, is portion-, larly addressed to those whose choice of ^candidate-r-St8-on--the.p-rsohaliti-_,--ree^ ords and general attitude towards local matters of John Houston and Sidney Stockton Taylor. We have had John Houston as a member from this riding for three years, during which period he has given tho community abundant evidence of a political sagacity of no mean order and of a tenacity of purpose admirable in its sincerity. The evidence in support of this statement can be found in the exceptionally large appropriations secured for the Nelson district, but which are not out of proportion to our just rights. Above all is the valuable power site obtained in .the face of the opposition of the Boninijgtoii Falls Power Company, with whom, it may be said in passing, there wns an opportunity for as fine a piecp of political treachery as eyer presented itself fo a Jess loyal representative thaii John Houston. Vain, indeed, haye been the attempts to "fdsfetr=Oir"t-~J6liii_Hdustoir sonie action that might be magnified by the persuasive eloquence of zealous political enemies into something that would savor of political debauchery ��� vain, indeed, has it been, and wo find today, after three years of honest political servio. in tho interests of this community, that John Houston can stand on any platform find challenge tho foe to bring forward the slightest charge of improper use of his political position. Yet, labor is asked to assist iu deposing this trusty servant in favor of another belonging" to -i profession in which many people have liad little confidence since (lie world began. His opponent lias different poljtictil colors to his mast and is, by virtu** of Ills profession, "'1 possibly curtain favorable environments', imagined by his zpnjous followers to bp ti bofter nian to represent ns than our prpsopt member. _lr. Taylor re]jus largely on hjs ability to demonstrate by plapsjbjti argnnipnt that the party to which he owes allegiance will do better work in cleansing t)ie Apgcnu stables at Victoria than Jus opponent. It can hardly he ..aimed in this particular that Sidney Stockton Taylor has a mortgage on this privilege, fo*- }f John Houston as a private politjoiau brings to us a .lean recorr], how much less is he likely to join hands with any party or government kept alive by a system of politics which he has demonstrated does not assimilate with his own conceptions of right? Therefore, whether John Houston sits on one side of the house or tho other, his personality will be in evidence, and be far more so than that of his opponent, however good he may be in speechmaking and plausible lobbying, the outcome of years at his profession qf patching broken financial- hearts and keeping'ii}iye financial disputes to the ultimate advantage of Sidney (Stockton Taylor. The Liberal candidate is a pleasant speaker, and trained ju a}l tho arts of his profession; lie knows well how to play on the emotions of men, and thereby carries some with him on the point of mere passing smliiuent. But all this is on the sin-face, mid to the keen observer is nothing more tlmu platform sentimentality to catch the passing broozo of sidewalk fancy. Contrast nil this witli the rugged talk of John lf'iaston, the man of labor, who will remain so tijl the end, though fortune should smile ou him, Where will the Liberal candidate be found, if by dint of further financial accumulations and political power lie rises abovo tho masses? Echo answers, where? And the answer is, strongly entrenched behind a wall of financial power, basking in the sunlight of social intoxication, and using tho Labor Party much the same as he uses his front door mat. This is merely the historical record of the ultimate of successful men of the class to which Sidney Stockton Taylor belongs. Quite a number in this citv profess to think that John Houston is hardly the right man to represent so important a city as Nelson. They say that we should have a member carrying more social weight��� for the social side of politics is a factor nowadays. They would substitute Sidney Stockton Taylor if for no other reason than that he is fitted to shine at an afternoon tea with Victoria's 400 at government house. It may be that John Houston never had on a dress suit, and that Sidney Stockton knows the correct way to eat peas or drink tea, but we are not concerned with the side issues which have really no bearing on the question before us, and that is, which of these two men will make the best representative for the Labor Party? The Liberal candidate is a lawyer and a king's counsel. There may be in the wide worid a few of thc legal profession whose hearts beat in unison with the great mass of toilers. Sad as it to say, however, the large majority of this class cannot, in the very nature of their profession, have any sentiment for the wage-earners, however much they may at election times seek to'' deny it. Lawyers gravitate toward capital as the whisky fiend towards the saloon or the morphine fiend to the drug store. Their'very existence depends on '.their, ability to handle disputes arising between men on the system adopted in the old fable of the monkey and the cats in a dispute over a piece of cheese found by chance; the matter was referred to the monkey, who halved it, as he thought, and placed the two halves in the scales. One side went down, whereupon he bit a piece out of it, when the other side went down; by keeping this up the monkey got the lot and the cats got nothing. : That's law! A- ':-��������� Stress is laid'on the fact that the Liberal candidate took the chair at the meeting of the U. B. of R..E, in the early spring. Surely the labor element is not so foolish as to endow Mr. Taylor with 'anything amounting to magnanimity in such an action! Has he not been heading politically for this for a year past? Has he not baited his hook all. along to catch -thc-'labor t-vote?-'���And'-yt-t "w*h.n election * time conies this is hold upas a reason why labor should vote for him. The very thought that Sidney Stockton Taylor, if elected, will havo the interests of labor at heart is enough to make Homy George rise from his grave! It is hardly conceivable that intelligent workingmen can be so deluded into such wild, imagination. To vote for the Liberal candidate with that end in view is to commit political suicide. Let no labor man be deceived as to this. Sidney Stockton Taylor, if by any chance he is elected, will keep Sidney Stockton's interests well to the front iu Victoria���that is what he is going there for assuredly. No pretense is made to surround John Houston with a halo of glory. He has political faults. One thing is, HE IS HQNEgT, and in these days of political immorality it will be nothing short of a calamity to turn down a member who has given earnest demonstration of his ability to represent a community wisely, well, and HONESTLY, The vote of the independent laborer is asked foi* John Houston for the reasons mentioned above, nnd fm'tlie*-vthat-by-=assistiug-to-rehirn=him The S.

It is well known that labor organiza-V tions or unions, especially the B. of L.

Mr. Gill was simply over-zealous in the;" interests of the candidate he favors; but we, locomotive engineers ;��� at Cranbrook, as individuals, believe that Mr. Caven will best"1 represent our interests, as he is a member of organized laborf? and in case of his election would safely guard their iuterestsVinl' the legislature, therefore we bespeakfor him your earnest support? and vote: v,* W, EDWARDS.

All cannot be satisfied, Mr, Taylor will carry no maro power as a unit to'Victoria than John Houston, who mast decidedly has a greater personality, by the power of which ho will aooomplish infinitely more than the rhetorical efforts of lawyer Taylor, however pleasing these efforts may bo to the ears of members. The cause of labor will be more advanced by a.man of John Houston's temperament thau it cau possibly hope to be by a lawyer. On tho one hand we have a man belonging to a profession which i.s saturated with greed of gain. On the other a mai- rugged at times���nay, uncouth, but beneath whoso unattractive exterior thoro beats a heart tuned to the better and ui'sclfisl; aspirations of men, a heart that does not seek its own advance- ment in every action done, but does it because it is duty, unmindful of results. That heart belongs to John Houston, our present member, aud labor can give no finer endorsafion of its unqualified approval of an earnostnoss of purpose in the interests of a community, than to assist iu placing him at the head of tho poll one week from today, F. VV. Pettit. Nelson is a City of Homes. It is said Victoria is a city of homes, iu the true meaning of the word'"home." What is true of Victoria is equally true of Nelson. No town of its sizo in Canada has so many homes, A home do��is not necessarily nieau a large aud expensively constructed building. The building may be inexpensive aud unpretentious, yet be surrounded, by evidences that show the people who Jive in it are making it a home, Among tlio homes in Nelson i.s that of J. J. Driscoll on Observatory street. While there are more pretentious buildings than }>h\ PriscoH's cottage, no home in Nejson has so many evidences that tho occupants are striving to make a homo in tho sense that Canadians understand tho word. Mr. Driscoll has a garden and orchard that has not an equal iu Nelson- Ho grows more and a greater variety of fruit than any resident within the city; yet when ho built his home in 18!)*. up in the Hoover Addition, as it was then called, people said he was "uwav out of the world."

The second* was opened S.S.Taylor, K.C, the candidate of >_ Liberals.. The number at both nioet- :s was about the same. Which of the ) candidates made the best showing 'ier the same conditions, that is, open-^ I; a meeting and being confined strictly |-a discussion of the principles laid down [their respective party platforms? The b candidate is a lawyer, a profession re- [ring "gift of gab." The other caudi- ce is a printer, a trade in which "silence >olden.'.' What the one said is printed I can be read at any time. What the ler said is not printed nnd cannot be ived. John Houston's declarations arc print. S. S. Taylor's statenicuts are jrely spoken words which have not been orded. Every fair-minded person who ird both speeches will say that tlie ef- ,t of the printer was better than that of i lawyer. The one aspires to be the der of the Liberal Party; tlie other has jhigher ambition than to servo well the jiple among whom he lives, for if lie yes them well he will be doing thc ivince a service. Which of the two will ;t represent the people of Nelson City ing in the legislature: the man who 1 sacrifice everybody and everything to ry out his ambitions, or the man whose y desire is the advancement of the rn in which he lives and the country rounding that town? handidate John L. Retallack of Kaslo jl John Keen should be restrained or Isiplined by the cooler headed aud fairer jaded leaders of the Liberal party. |_irs is not a straightforward fight for platform and principles of the party jich they affect to represent.

Their campaign is one in lich fallacy and subterfuge are too lent. They flatter and cajole the work- In, for whom both iu theory and in Ictice they have hitherto evinced con- lipt. They now say to him, if you |mot vote for the Liberalism which represent, then by all means vote for the Socialist, for Socialism sifter all is but the evolution of Liberalism. They niistify or deliberately falsify the parliamentary record and send broadcast misstatements which the most cursory glance at the journals disproves. They ascribe to the minister of mines votes which he never gave or distort them to meet their unfair ends. Men who appeal to the heads of the electorate should be straightforward ami honest. Men who appeal to the prejudices of the electorate are never straightforward and are seldom honest. "Bob" Green in Kuslo riding is not appealing to the prejudices of a class; he is asking for thoir support as a Liberal- Conservative, who has served six years in the legislature, and whose record is known. If his record is bad, it is the duty*? of his opponents to show wherein it zi bad. Shouting "down Green" is not tja*- gnment. No man charged with a crime is convicted because someone cries "stop^ thief." The Miners' Union of Nelson held two meetings last week to bring 'about an endorsement of S. S. Taylor, the Liberal candidate. At the first meeting there were fourteen members present, and tho vote stood: Taylor 12, Houston. 1, oue not voting. The next meeting was held pn Saturday.'-night. There were 9 present. At that meeting Houston had no friends. The-Nelson Miners' Union has less than thirty votes in Nelson. Tho man Avho worked up tho endorsement is named Mackay, a bitter and vindictive Liberal, who attempted to get the Independent Labor Party to endorse Taylor, and who wtis turned down so hard that ho resigned from that party. The endorsement of the Liberal candidate at this late date by the miners' union 'will act as a boomerang, just ns did the publication of the names on Taylor's nomination paper. There are other labor unions in Nelsou, and their members resent the action of the miners' union as an attempt to dragoon union men into supporting a lawyer as against a union printer. of Nelson Miners' Union to vote for S. S Taylor, a lawyer, Frank Phillips violated the Constitution of the Nelson Miners' Union and showed that he is not in sympathy with the fundamental principles of unionism. Two Political Marplots. David W. Higgins of Victoria is classed as a political marplot by the Victoria Colonist. Higgins is wholly without political influence. Here iu Nelson there is another Higgins, whose name is David Mark Carley. While professing tt) Vie n Conservative aud a great admirer of Mich- are McBride and A. 15. McPhillips and It. L. Borden, he is doing everything in his power to throw these men down. Like Higgins, lie is wholly without influence iu the community in which he lives; but like Higgins, ho is in a position to circulate his venomous utterances through the Liberal press, who gladly print the letters of the one and quoto the other as the editor of ti. great Conservative newspaper. The Victoria Colonist shows up Higgins in the following: "The political difficulties in Estjuimalt tire happily arranged. Tho electors of the district, of whom a great majority are in favor of O. E. Pooley, have so declared in no uncertain terms and with most; flattering evidences of tlie esteem in which he is held in the district. He litis been endorsed as the Liberal - Conservative candidate in the forthcoming election. D. AV. Higgins declares that tlie fact that he received only two votes out of a total present at the convention of one hundred and twenty-one, was duo to the fact that he refused to abide by tho decision of the convention; that if he had agreed to decide by the decision of the convention he would have received a much 'larger vote. Possibly so. We are unwilling to believe that any man would possess such overweening self-conceit as to introduce himself as a candidate for representative honors who could only receive two out of one hundred and twenty-one votes. At the sauie time, we arc bound to acknowledge that the reason Mr. L iggius had for uot submitting himself to e decision of the convention was that he new himself to bo iu a hopeless minority t' the electors present. His excuse that e meetiug was not representative of tho Bsquimalt district was a mere excuse. 'Everybody knows that the meeting was thoroughly representative, and nobody 'knows it more thoroughly than Mi*. Higgins himself, as is proved by the fact that it has decided him not to submit his name to the electors at all. Very different from the attitude of Mr. Higgins was that of Mr. Croft. When it was made plain that Mr. Pooley was the choice of the Liberal- Conservative electors of Esquimalt, Mr. Croft bowed loyally to their decision and at once agreed to support Mr. Pooley. Mr. Higgins is not supporting Mr. Pooley. Far otherwise. Having been tossed from Victoria into Esquimalt, he has been hurled back into Victoria to devise as much mischief for the Liberal-Conservative Party as is in his mind, and to accomplish as much as is in his power, which is fortunately very little.'.' Judging from the action taken on Saturday last by the Nelson Miners' Union, that union, through its officers, is a political organization as well as a trades union. Under the constitution and by-laws of the Western Federation of Miners, no action binding a local union as a whole cau be taken without a referendum vote, aud the seal of the union can at no time be used to authenticate a document unless the document has been authorized in the regular way at a regular meeting of ;hing that is specially prohibited is political regular meeting of a union, he officers of Nelsou Miners'Union do not itution and by-laws or respect the wishes of the union. These officials resolved some time ago to endorse the Liberal candidates iu Nelson and Ymir, and in order to carry out their own wishes have violated e and trampled on the rights of nine-tenths of the union. The discussion or political action at But, apparently, observe the conslji of the members ���_ their oaths of offic The consensus of opinion of the "independent minds" who attended the political meeting on Monday night is that S. S. Taylor, K.C, is not iu the same class as Charles Wilson, K.C. Taylor is =iiot-a--reasoner--;-h&-is=n*tcroly-=ar-specious^ declaimcr. When confined to giving reasons for adopting or rejecting political principles, he shows himself to be superficial iu thc extreme. Ho can build up a talk founded on a deliberately uttered falsehood or on a specious declaration, but he is unable to convince thinking nien that he is either an honest reasoncr or a sincere thinker. Every method and every utterance wheu he is on the platform shows him to bo the lawyer working for a fee. The Rosslaud Miner is keeping up its reputation of being the dirtiest and most malignant newspaper in the province. It professes to be Conservative, yet it is supporting the Liberal Party candidates in Rosslaud and Ymir and Nelson, three of the most important ridings in Kootenay. A Competitive Coal Company��� Quite recently several of the officials of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company from Toronto have made a visit to the ; company's properties at Fernie, and made optimistic reports of the outlook there. We are pleased to hear it, as the gentlemen should know what they are talking about. But some of the things that G. G. S. Lindsay, K.C, one of the directors, is credited with saying, would have been left better unsaid���at least from the company's point of view. Referring to the coke shipments, Mr. Lindsay stated that the shipments to the Granby smelter, among others, had been stopped because they were "overstocked." This was only half the truth, as the reason the Granby shipments were ordered discontinued for a few days was because the smelter was blown out for a few days. But this is no large matter, if the coal company now keeps up the supply, which it appears they will bo able to do. In referring to the quality of the coal being opened up by the International Coal & Coke Company, however, Mr. Lindsay 'made^some^remarks^that-will^do'him-no^ good. Here is what ho is reported to have said, verbatim: "We are glad to find tho Granby people entering the field. After five j'cnrs of work and the expenditure of an enormous amount of money, thc Crow's Nest Pass Coal Compairy has got coke down to as low a figure as it cau be produced at a profit, even on a very extensive scale. The Blairmore district has, undoubtedly, large fields of coal, some of which have been tested and abandoned, and I very much doubt if there is any seam of coal in that district that will produce good coke. 1 have seen samples of coke made from coal taken from the vein upon which the Granby people arc working, nnd it is very high in ash. It may he that tliey will, on other scttnis, obtain a coal which will mako good coke, but if tliey do it will be the only instance, in that district where such coal has been obtained, and I would not be willing to believe that such coal exists until I see the coke." unions into politic should employers the members of .their union. If the officers of miners' unions are so unfair to thi rank and file of the members, in attempting to coerce them polit cally, is it auy wonder that their employers are doing likewise? If one set of men (officers of miners' unions) are attempting to drive and coerce the members of the al action against their own better judgment, be condemned if the}* retaliate ? That the}* are retaliating is evidenced b}' the article printed below, which js clipped from a 3utte (Montana) newspaper. In two ridings in British Columtia, less than forty men have attempted to dictate to 490 how they MUST vote. Will the 400 vote as the 40 say they MUST? Will the individual members of the Nelson Miners' Union surrender their political rights, the right to vote as they please, at the dictation of the dozen who met in miners' union hall in Nelson Saturday and violated their obligation and their oath of office? A large majority of the members of the Nelson Miners' Union will undoubted!}' resent the attempt that is being made to turn their union into a political club for the benefit of S. S. Taylor, K.C., and "Alf" Parr. The following- shows how employers of labor over in Montana are retaliating. Is it a pleasant picture? Is it pleasing to see here; in British Columbia a few men like Frank Phillips and Charles A. Mackay and" Alf Parr and Pat Daly attempting to coerce members of an organization into taking political action contrary to every semblance of right aud justice aud freedom that the individual has under riot only the laws of the land, but the laws of their -labor organizations ? Will it be pleasing to see adopted iu British Columbia the methods that are being adopted in Montana by employers of labor to "blacklist" men who vote contrary to the wishes and the interests of their employers? the one has as much right as the other to coerce. The oue has as much right as the other to blacklist. A large majority of the people of British Columbia will condemn such methods, aud if The Tribune is uot greatly mistaken, a large majority of the people of Nelson will resent the efforts S. S. Taylor, K.C, is making to array men iii one labor organization not only agaiust each-other-pbut-agaiust��� tlie-nieiii-bers-of-othei^labor tions. ^organiza-- " Every member [of tlie Nelson Miners' " Union No. !)(!, W.

The words quoted above are a part of tho printed Constitution and By-Laws of the Nelson Miners' Union. Every member of the union who has a right to vote is a part of the government of the country and has a duty to perform, yet the right to perform that duty has been taken away from some 200 members of the union by n dozen members who have arrogated to themselves the right to dictate to the 200 how they MUST vote. This i.s a free country, and every man who has the right to vote should hit ve the privilege of voting as he individually deems best, not as is deemed best by the officers of a trades union or tt, fraternal society. Iu publishing over his name its secretary of the Nelson Miners' ���Union a mandate ordering the members Compulsory Arbitration. The Liberal candidate, in referring to this mutter the other evening at the opera house, said that it had worked very satisfactorily in New Zealand. Possibly. But he omitted to enlighten the audience on the fact that conditions in that colony are vastly different to what they are in 'Canada. The government there is of a paternal 11atare, is elected by thc people for the people, and not in the slightest way for thc benefit, of corporations. It follows, therefore, that the settlement of labor difficulties can be carried out in this manner, inasmuch as there would be no danger to labor that a tribunal before whom matters of this kind would be adjusted could in any way be -'packed" by the other side. If labor i.s assured of this, it can safely extend a cordial welcome to the scheme. A striking illustration of the effectiveness of arbitration, although in this instance; it was not compulsory, was seen a year or so ago in the case of the London & Northwestern Railway Company of England, when it bishop look jwirt in the adjustment of the differences, to the grot it and surprising satisfaction of all concerned. The principle is right, but in this land, if party governments, lawyers aud others of rhe following are to have it say in the appointment of thc tribunal, labor will be wise to stay out of the deal. "Going to leave town, Jack?" "I got the 'blue ticket' this morning," was thc answer. "Yon know what that means." This conversation, audible to the little crowd which had gathered at an outgoing train at the Anaconda depot today, wtis the means of divulging to thc Reveille correspondent a remarkable state of affairs in this city. The very latest in Standard Oil infamy is the "blue ticket." Prclimiuiiry to the opening of the Washoe works here, tho Standard Oil blacklist, so well known in the oil regions of Pennsylvania, has made its appearance in Anaconda. The "blue ticket" is what the men call it, and if you find your name on a blue ticket you might as well go homo, begin to pack up your belongings, and get ready to walk out of town, if yon haven't the money to ride. The introduction of the "blue ticket" discloses a condition that has never been equalled in the trust-cursed existence of the city. It proves that the infamous "blue ticket" is but the beginning of another era of tyranny which will incense thc independent citizens of the state. To describe thc "blue ticket", it is necessary to go back a few months. Soou after the Amalgamated Copper Comr. y sprang into existence, one of the most "convincing proofs that it was an offshoot of the Standard Oil Company was the introduction of tho "pedigree slip" and tho "brass tag" iu the Anaconda works. Most of thc readers of the Reveille aro familiar with the "pedigree slip" and the "brass tag." Tlie former is a form which must be filled out by every applicant for work. In it he must state his age. his nationality, his birthplace, and, in short, supply the company with a complete and satisfactory- biographical sketch. "The "brass tag" was but a part of the new system of keeping track of the employes. It: is the same 'plan that the Stand- ard Oil Company has worked successfully for years in its refineries in the east. If the applicant for work passed (lu> rigid examination and his credentials satisfied the agents of the compnuy, he was given a brass tag with a number on it. When he went on shift ho passed this tag through the little window at the timekeeper's office and got a red card, on which was registered with an automatic machine the. timo of his arrival. This, now, became his authority to go to work, lt served at once as a check, a means of identification, and a convenience for keeping the time of the employe. At the conclusion of the shift he passed in the red card, which, was again stumped by the automatic timepiece, and received the brass cheek in return, which he presented iu turn at the beginning of the next shift. Recently many of tbe men on returning from work found when tliey passed in their red tickets tit the timekeeper's oflice that thoy were not giveii tins customary brass check in return, but that a blue ticket was displayed where the check was usually hung. Iu many instances the men thus summarily discharged were recognized r.s thoroughly competent aud reliable at their work, and the only cause of their dismissal could be found in the fact that they refused to follow the dictates of the bosses in polities and vote the ticket the Amalgamated had decided to support. It was some time beforo the men knew the extent of the company's new method of blacklisting. First, several of them tried for work in the other departments of the Amalgamated Company's works in Anaconda. They found that the "blue ticket" stood against them at the foundry, at the brickyards, and on the B., A. & P. railroad. Tliey they left town, and. found that the "blue ticket" had killed their chances of employment in the Amalgamated works in every part of the state. Many of them inquired concerning the chances of getting work iu the Amalgamated mines iu Butte, when these latter reopen. They found that they could not got work in any of the company's mines,'in Ihe Colorado smelter, or in 1 in* Butte and Boston smelter. The unenviable notoriety of the "blue ticket" hud preceded them. ' The man with the blue! card i.s marked by the company. He can't get work in the smelters at Great-Falls. He can't get work iu the coal mines at Belt. He can't get work in the lumber mills at Hamilton. He can't get work at the coal mines or coking plant at Storrs. He can't get work in the coal mines at Cebo. In logging camps and coal camps, in mii.'es and smelters, the "blue ticket" has done its deadly work. J The pedigree card has aided in identifying the nam, and from the few who have come hack to Anaconda to gather their belongings nnd move out with their families it litis beeu learned that after making the circle of the entire state, in no placJe where the Amalgamated Company controls i.s it possible lo obtain work with the stigma of the "blue ticket" attached to the man who seeks employment. It i.s difficult to imagine the feelings that this new tyranny of the company has engendered in thc minds of the men. A few simple comparisons made aniong themselves shows that thero exists at present in this city of Anaconda as complete a system of espionage as prevails around the person of the czar of Russia, and that any kind of a public declaration of political iiidepondaneo will win for the thoughtless person thc dreaded "blue ticket." It is remembered by many that they' were led into apparently innocent��� conversation concerning politics; the question was asked if they approved of the course of the county assessor, who hns raised tlie assessment of the smelter several million dollars, or if thoy agreed with the sentiment which compelled the company to do something toward abating the smoke nuisance in the valley. Too late many of the "blue ticket" men discovered that thoy should havo been more reticent, and recognized iu the apparently innocent inquirer oue of tho company's "spotters." There" is no longer the slightest doubt- in tho minds of the people of Anaconda that the works were closed down to weed out, all who are politically opposed to the Amalgamated Company, or who have opinions of their own which they voice ou election day. Whatever doubt previously existed has been dissipated since the inau; {juration of tho "blue ticket." In effectual co-operation with the "blue ticket" is tho company store. No man marked with a ticket of azure hue cau get a pair of shoestrings at the company store without thc money. It is not generally known outside of Anaconda that the company store methods are just as pernicious as ever. Men still are required to go to the store to get their pay checks, and the amount of their indebtedness to the store is deducted from the check beforo payment. The independent merchants have made several ineffectual attempts to compete with the "store," and for a time it seemed as if the men were going to have an opportunity to trade where they desired, but the shut-down, the "blue ticket" and the return to old-time coercion on the part of the company have intimidated thc employes so that the commercial branch of the Standard Oil tree is flourishing as of old. Tho Copper City Commercial Company ���the euphonious name of the company store���employs one man solely to spend his time at the works and watch the men. He goes to the timekeeper's oflice and finds out the exact amount to tho credit of every man employed on the hill. If the books showed that yon had $-15 coming to yon at the Washoe works, you may rest assured that you can get ��_.*3 worth of goods at 'the Copper City. It has been learned that the "blue ticket," like the "brass check" and the "pedigree card," is a Pennsylvania importation, and that for souie years the Stand- am Oil Company has employed this method of blacklisting men whom they could not manage politically. Assessor Levengood is still standing the fire of the Amalgamated newspapers, which have taken a keen dislike to this ollicer for his fearless stand on county valuation. Mayor Frinke was elected by the votes of thc people of Anaconda, yet theeompany-is^throwing-eyery-stumbliug- block in his way and trying to hamper him, as it is mayor Mullins in Butte. Judge Smith of Lewis and Clarke county, before whom the municipal contest was tried, decided th.tt the mayor was duly elected ami duly qualified. Still the Amalgamated newspapers are keeping up the fight, and are in every conceivable manner trying to tie up the new administration���much of their work being done under the guise of legitimate interest. These are the methods by which the Amalgamated Company is ti-ying to reform Anaconda, mid by tyranny and injustice win lights that they cannot win by fair means. But the workingmen do not take kindly to this "blue ticket*' plan, and while it may have the effect of making men nioro reticent and cautions in expressing their opinions politically, it will defeat its own end on election day, when the Standard Oil crowd will discover once more that coercion and tyranny do not win elections in Montana. 520 Water St. Telephone 140 NELSON STEAM LAUNDRY Work done l��>- liuml or mncliine, :in<l on short notice.

Well, when Whiskers seen dat derc was no more tresspassing on de grass, he got foul ol his shy-streak again, and him and widdy wtis so far apart dat he couldn't see her. Dat makes Duchess so mad dat she could scream, fox- she is bound to get Whiskers located in his own fireside, so dat Miss Fa time can be made to take trips to Paris, and odder necks of woods where Luchess wants'to;go. and where Miss Fannie won't go so long*-a,5,.fe\pa. has no home of his own. y;- ' "*-*'--���.���. , .; I don't make it my business to'fuss'.ivit^ tings like dose, for I'm satisfied wit me job as it lays; all de same I wouldn't give odds dat Miss Fannie would put/up a-yell. if Whiskers had a shack*:to run all by. himself, and didn't have so-much; time to run hers.

If Duchess didn't have a hand in running tings I tink she'd give up woik and live on do tips she's been touching me for till dese years. I was asking "her about de boodle she had bauked. "What's de use of money except to spend it?" I says to her. "De woist use you can put mouey to is to spend it, mon ami. If you speud it you is no better off dan dose foolish poisons dtit don't save,it. Money is no good if you don't have it, is it? If it is only good to spe-ucl, why take de trouble to get it? No, Master Oheems, if you have money you have self-respect���do only ting dat you can buy wit mouey, and at de same time not speud de money. Dere should be ti law dat man should make all de money lie can���and give it till to his wife. Dat's de only wny'ho can buy happiness." I was a foolish fellow to come to a- clinch wit Duchess on dat proposition; for no matter how good a argument I put up, Duchess gets de decision, and de poisso; she being referee and stakeholder, both. But I was going to tell you about Willy Widdy. She's not de kind of a player dat sits on de club house verandy waiting for an easy mark to go around de links wit her. If de one she wants won't play, she'll bo in a game if it's only a lonesome���dough foursomes come her way swifter dan any odder. So when Whiskers got shy, Widdy wtis as gaily-gaily as any goil in de county. Duchess tried her best to get Miss Fannie to drag Whiskers over to Widdy's cottage, so dat he could see what a push wns dere at Widdy's lunches aud teas, and dat she wtisn^tson^ TciIW(rtoabe^rw^ site wanted to be. But Whiskers ducked. "It is of de agravate!" says Duchess. "It is tin. if Whiskaire sec Madam Harding iu company wit anodder, den he is of de" sentiment urgent. But if he will not ga whore he see dat many men admire her, what can one do?" _ "One can guess again," I says. "Let your betters alone, and fix it wid Housekeeper to leave Maggie have dis evening off, for me frien de barkeep is coming down dis evening, aud we'll take a stroll uii de pike wit him and Maggie.*' Duchess never said a woid in answer to dat, and �� had a right to be leary: for when a woman won't talk, even when slie has a cue, it's time for a man to get his guard up and limber his legs for a quick side-step. Me Irion conies down by de early evening train, and conchy lends mo do" station -wngon to fetch him; de foi Its being at dinner and not seeing mo make de sneak wit de wagon. When we was in de housekeeper's- room, having a bite, and a mug of dc butler's ale to wash de cinder's out of me frieu's treat, Duchess chases mo off, and den it was she puts up her job. Widdy liad been giving Duchess a lot of duds, and p'chec! if sho didn't rig Maggie up in cm till she was a dead ringer for Widdy���only dat Maggie in one of dose now straiglit-np-aiid-down corsets, was asking wouldn't she break like a lamp chimney if she sat down! Me frien was looking like ready money, too; for his lid and blanket would pass him tit a hundred yards for a broker on de right- side of de market. "Take mo out of dis corset, Duchess dear," Maggie was saying. "For de love of heaven! take me uut before I die. I feel like I was boarded up���like I was boxed up for de expressman to take away." "Vons etes tres charmantc!" say Duchess, putting ou de poor goil a wrap Widdy nsed to wear. "Don't hold yon skirt like a mouse was chasing you. Look, hold it like dis," and she shows Maggie how to hold her skirt' like she was going to wrap herself up in it if dere was enough of it. "What's doing?'" I says when I sees dese tings. "It's ti play," says'Duchess. "Who's tube played?" "Gome wit tne and say not ting," Duchess says, and de four of us chases out to do road by do lane. Den Duchess and me macy of Women goes over to de odder side of de road, and me frien and Maggie waltzes along by deirsclvos, aud, say, dey was so like Widdy sind some swell Johnnie, (hit I'd yelled, only Duchess punched uie. It was near dark when whiskers ciuie out from dinner, and starts out for a stroll to de yacht club house to thrash out de cup races once more. As soon as he cops Maggie and me frien, he starts like he starts liko he was going to cress de road, and den he seems to tink dat wouldn't do, and keeps on; aud when he passes (hem lie hists his lid; me frien hists his, and dat sassy Bowery goil, Maggie, sweeps a bow dat makes her look .more like Widdy dan de close did. Whiskers.went on his way, and de couple makes a hurry sneak wit us back to de liouse, where Maggie gets out of her swell rags aud into her own close; and den de four of us starts off up de pike. Pretty soon butler runs us down, and asks me didn't I know dttt I was due at de house, for dere was to be bridge, and me being second man, it was up to me to be on call if Mr. Paul would want a small bottle. Say, before I gets a ring to go to de 'room where de folks was, Miss Fannie sends for me on de quiet, aud she says, "Ohames, where is Hortense?" "Walking up de road wit butler, Maggie aud a frien of mine," I says. "Shall I chase after her, Miss Fannie?" Miss Fannie taut a while, and den she says, "How is Hyrtenso dressed?" "Just ns she was when she dressed you for dinner." "And Maggie?" "Same as in de house, only wit her cap off," I says. But I never could fool Miss Fannie. She smiles a little, and den she says, "Ohames, what mischief has Hortense been up to? Mrs. Harding is here, and when papa came back from de club he spoke of having seen Mrs. Harding. I kuow dat he did uot, but Mrs. Harding did not say he did not. I see by your face,������ Ohames, dat you kuow of some mischief dat/wilLexplaiii, and you must tell��� ^'il'nbt'becrossywith Hortense." f 'u-vS__coiild con Miss Fannie if I tried, so gives herTre-Slpie dat'was;played, and she didn'tputup no"n^*^at^at.y.I>vas| wondering what was doing'^wajiefolks/iir- de library,..so when I was, beUeaTf-.v-'-O; fetch de proof 'ifor--Mr. Paul'dat.de cellar wasn't run dry, I rubbers de layout. Whiskers was playing up to Widdyylik-.., she was a six per cent stock shilling.helbw' par, and he was afraid if he didn't bid., quick dere would be none of it left in de market. Widdy's cart was dere, and when I called it for her, I waltzes down to de gate, and as she drives trough she stops and says; "Miss Fannie was telling me dat your wife can dress Maggie to look like odder folks." . "Duchess is no farmer, ma'am," I says. "She is a very bold maid," says Widdy, "but I ting she deserves dis, what I just wins at bridge," and she passed me out a long green, aud p'chec! it was a liver. Well, I goes to de station wit me frien de barkeep, and I splits dat fiver at de little drum near de station, and we says, "Here's to you!" more dan once. When I moots np wit Duchess, she says, "Oheems, you has been drinking. Where did you get de price?" "It didn't need no price," I says, "it was a tin roof." "I tin roof! What kind of a drink is a tin roof?" "It's on de house," says I, and Duchess is wondering yet. Dat's de foist time in mo life I ever sunk a tip on Duchess, and de best ting about it is dat it was her graft, at dat. If she ever finds out dat Widely passed dat green to me, to pass along to me���to do Nor. Pole for me! And Duchess earned de stake, too; for. from do looks of tings down our way, Whiskers will soon tell me to pack bis trunk for a wedding journey; and when de parson has willed half of Whiskers' income to Widdy, de credit of de job will belong as much to Duchess, as to Widdy's eyes. ��� The Voters' Lists.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1903-09-26 |
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. |
