H HAVEN ENOUGH FOU HIM. List evening I was talking With an editor aged and gray, Who told me of a dream lie had, I think 'twas yesterday, While snoozing ir, his ollice Tile vision came tu viaw, For he saw an angel enter, Dressed in garments white and now, Slid the angel, " I'm from heaven, The Lord just .sent me down To bring you up 10 glory And put on your golden ciowh. You've been a friend to everyone, And worked hard night and day; You have supported many thousands, And from few received your pay, S ' we want you up in !{lorv, Eor you have labired hard, And the good Lord is preparing Your eternal, just reward." Then the angel and the editor Started up to.varIs|glory's gate, But when passing close to Hides, Tiie angel murmured: "Wait ! I have a place to sli-i.v yuu. It's the hottest place iu bell, Whore the ones who never paid you, In torment always dwell." And, behold the editor saw ihere His old subscribers by the score, And grabbing up a chiir and fan, He wished for nothing inure; But was bound to sit and watch them As they'd, sizzle, singe and burn And his eyes would rest on debtors Whichever way they'd turn. Slid tho angel, ''Come on, editor, There's the pearly gale I sec." Il.lt the editor only muttered, "This is heaven enough for llie."

Cianeuic, Ncl- -oll The local legislature resumed business on Monday last, and accomplished a great deal during the week. Supplies will be taken upon Monday next and the opposition are paving the way for RtrenUOUS obstruction. "Six months in New Yoik," is the subject of a lecture to be delivered in Ymir on Monday evening next, by R'v. W. W. liner, of Nelson. It will be illustrated by limelight views of Gotham, The political situation is being dis- eu-sed liy the politicians of Ymir as it the Dominion élections were at hand As usual both parties predict a verdict for their own side, and each nf the cindidates is getting a " ripping up1' that ought to keep their ears hot. " * oleuian is Crowing,'' was the heading of an article in yesterday's Nelson News, and everybody read it thinking it referred to our own George But when they found that Coleman was to have a pastor and a post ollice that settled it. Miss Cray, who has been nursing al the Ymir Hospital for the past couple of years, is about t,, sever her connection with the institution. She has proved herself one of the most popular and ellicient nurses an hospital has ever been fortunate enough to secure, and general regret is felt nt her departure. A fire alarm was rung in last night which called the fire brigade to the residence of T. Newett, on Second Avenue. A room iu the upper storey used as a close closet, whs in liâmes, but how they originated is a mystery* ai theie was no fir' iu that part of t e house, nor .lid, any Hues pass through the apartment, The supposition is that one of the children must have taken a light into the room. For tiinately the II.unes were noticed by Win. Clark, who promptly shouldered his Bibcock extinguisher, and running to the burning house extinguished the fire. The lire brigade lost no time in responding to the call, but their ser vices were not required A quantity of clothing was destroyed but otherwise the damage was slight. When llie alarm was raised, George Paquin Joe Leahy ran to the fire hall to ring the bell, but they pulled too hard on the rope, turning the bell over, so that a few tolls were all that were heard. LIBERAL CONVENTION w. A. GALLTHKH UNANIMOUSLY NOMINATED. DR. SINCLAIR PROPOSED, DUT WITHDRAWS. A Liberal onnvention was held in Nelson on Tuesday last for the purpose of selecting a candidate to con test the approaching Dominion election. John Keen of Kaslo, presided over the meeting, and J. A. Turner acted as secretary, A committee on credentials was appointed, and their report having been accepted, the chairman called for nominations, F. E Simpson, Cranbrook, nominated W. A. Galliher. Dr. I). E. Kerr, Rnssland seconding the nomination. M. Campbell proposed and Henry Hoy seconded the nomination of Dr. Sinclair. Dr. Sinclair in one of his character- is' lo speeches, in which he referred to his great services to the Liberal partyi withdrew from the nomination, and Mr. Galliher was therefore the unanimous choice. The following resolutions were carried unanimously : Moved by D. P. Kane, seconded by H 13. Douglas, and resolved, that this convention direct its executive to telegraph Sir Wilfrid Laurier, asking that the regulations for the operation of the bind Bounty Act, lilO.'l, be immediate* ly promulgated and put in force. Moved by R. VV. Qrlgor, seconded by Dr. Kerr: Whereas the successful operation of a plant recently installed at liossland. known as the Elmore oil process has proved that the concentra tion of ores by such process would render it possible to mine and treat at a profit large bodies of ore, which have hitherto been unprofitable ; mid where as this process requires for its successful operation large quantities of oil of certain special properties, which Cannot now he obtained in wiinudui nul is now subject to a duty of ö cent» per gallon : lie it therefore resolved, That in the o| itiion of this association the best interests of the mining com" inunitv would be served by placing on the free list oil necessary for the réduction of Oies by any oil process until such oil can he produced in Canada. Moved by Dr. G. A. B. Hall, seconded by A. il. Duckworth, "that we express our unbounded confidence in Sir Wilfrid Laurier." At the suggestion of S. M, Kellie of Revelstoke, a permanent campaigning animation was formed, consisting of S S. Taylor, K. C.,c!iuirinati ; a secretary treasurer to be appointed by the candidate, and tho chairman and the follow ing executive ohftsed by the représenta tives from each of the nine provincial ridings as follows : Rosslaud, Dr. D. E Kerr ; Fernie, F. Stork ; Cranbrook, M. Mein lies ; Columbia, R. S. Gallop of Athelmai ; Kaslo, John L. Retallaok ; Nelson, Dr G. A. B. Hall ; Revelstoke, J. M. Kellie ; Slocan, G. McVannol ; Ymir, A B Buck-worth. The Nelson Daily News gives the following sketch of Mr. Galliher: W. A. Galliher was horn on a farm iu Bruce county, Ontario, in I860. He was educated at the public school and at the high school. Walkerton and collegiate institute, Collingwood. lie is a son of Frank Galliher and his wife, Sarah Kirko.itrick, both from tho north of Ireland, He taught school for a time in Ontario and came to Manitoba in 1881, where he entered into the study of law in the ollice of Archibald, Howell, Hough and Campbell in the city of Winnipeg, graduating from that ollice He took a prominent part in a'l kinds of nth« l.nic spurts for year-. He was one of the Nile voyageurs who went to Egypt and took part in the Soudan campaign under Lord Woolsley in 1884 and 1885 for which he received the Imperial service medal and the Khedive of Egypt's bronze star. He practiced law in Manitoba for about a year and then removed to Lethbridge in the North-west Territories and entered into partnership with C. F P. Cony bearc, K. C, remaining there eight years during which time he acted frequently as crown prosecutor for the dominion government and on extradition cases from the United State--. Coming west to Rossland in 1896 lie remained there for about a year, finally settling in Nelson where he has been engaged in the practice of his profession in partnership with Peter Wilson, and in politics. Mr Galliher has always been a keen politician and closely identified with the Liberal party since coming west. He was largely instrumental iu organizing the Liberal association in Nelson nod was its Anil president continuing in that ollice until his election to the house of commons in December, 1000, succeeding Hewitt linstock for the Yale-Ciil'ilioo district, wlio, owing to his business requiring his personal attention, declined the unanimous nomination tendered him at the Liberal convention in Revelstoke in June of I hat year. Mr Galliher was l.'ien tenderod the unanimous nomination which he accepted and carried the liberal colors to victory by the handsome majority of 520 in a three cornered light. At. the present liberal convention he was unanimously nominated ami should now be elected by a much larger majority.

The little room in the Ymir lock-up where court is held, was crowded yesterday when the cuse of Steele vs. McLeod was called—the first sitting of the court for the year of grace l'JOI- J. W Ross and P. J. Glea/.er were seated on the " bench," to investigate the charge—one ot assault. if the charge was one of murder there could not have been greater interest manifested. Every available man in town —witli nothing else to do—turned up and listened, awe stricken, to the evidence adduced, which was ns follows : W. A. Nicholson deposed that he saw Dan McLeod running after David Steele, who fell down and McLeod tlaeu walked around him and kicked him iu the face ; when the boy got ul he was covered with blood. Junes Gillc was the next witness. He swore that he ivi: with last witness at the tune of the occurrence McLeod made a kick at Steele. The boy fell on the snow, and McLeod kicked him. Could not say that the marks borne by llie boy were caused by the kicks or blows. The boy ufter wards sat in the snow holding his hands to his head, as if the blows hud luken. effect there. David Steele, the injured lad, deposed.— Us buys were snowballing around DesIJriaay's store ; Dan McLeod came out and told us to get away ; 1 did not understand, and he hit mc mi the breast, und knocked me down ; I went on the other side of the store, und told him not Lo . hit me again ; he then hit me attain, and I picked up a snowball and threw it, but I did not hit him ; he then ran after me and struck me, whether with his foot or not I do not know ; the blow took effect on my heud, cutting me. J G. Willuiighby deposed that he saw the commencement of the row. Steele and another hoy were on the sidewalk at DesBrisay's, walking up towards the Waldorf ; McLeod ran aftei them und knocked Steele down ; Steele said you had better not do that again. McD.mil knocked him down again. The boy then gjt up, picked up a snowball and thrtw it, but did not hit McLeod, who turnol and ran ufter him, catching him on the sidewalk near Neelands, kicking at him as he jumpe.) from the sidewalk. He did not known whether the kick took effect or not. McLeod jumped off the sidewalk after the boy, but witness could not say what happened. J). McLeod, defendant, deposed tint the boys were at llie store door when he came out, having been there half an hour or more : he ordered them awuy several times, but they were waiting for another boy in tho store, and would not M" away. 1 shoved Steele down twice, and gave him a little jolt, which I swear did not mark him, nor did J hit him on the neck ; he refused to go away and defied n.e, Ar ing a wet snowball at me, I then turned and ran after him ; I was running as last as 1 could, aid coild not therefore have kicked him ; he fel| in tliu snow und I slapped him ami walked oil' again at once, I »a- greatly aggravated, and lost my tew per, otherwise I »oJld not huve stiujk him. The magistrates) after due deliberation, found the defendant guilty, and imposed a fine of |S and costs." W, O. Steele, the father of the lad, who is about II years of age, an 1 win, appeared iu court with a nasty serai.«!, ou the bridge of the nose, objected tu the line as insiillicicnt to meet tin gravity of tin case, and gave notice ot appeal. ♦-»-f44-fs>'f4+**-»'s>4'*"t ♦♦•♦-♦•♦-♦■♦<■♦ tniNING news] ♦♦♦♦♦■♦"♦-» ♦♦♦♦♦ ♦«»-♦•♦♦♦♦•M-sm ♦ There was a break down at the VVil cox tramway last week which necessitated the suspension of work for a few days. One of the buckets slipped the cable and broke. All is right igain, and the »old bricks will be forthcoming with due regularity. Mr. E Hooper, director of the London it B. C. Goldfields, Ltd., who has been inspecting the Y'mir mine, has left the camp, leaving Mr. G. II. Barn- hart in charge Mr Atwater severs Ids connection with the mine as manager, and leaves for the east on Monday next. Pumping operations at the Dundee ■nine continue and it is expect al that ill the water will be out of the mine in a couple of days. Last night it had been pumped to the 'JOO-f.iot level. As soon as the water is out mining will be resumed, and before long regular shipments of ore will begin. Consulting engineer Grncey was up at the property the other day President Johnston of the B. C. Standard Mining Co. operating the Hunter V property was iu camp during the week accompanied by Mr. Robertson of Winnipeg, a large stockholder in the company. They yisited the mine and inspected the wsrks in iperiltion and express themselves as thoroughly satisfied with the progress being made, The only delay to th» shipping of ore is the tramway which is not as yet in running order. Every, thing is on the ground to complete the tram, but the weather seriously retards ihe work. The men are up to their ,'iips in snow, and stringing cable under such circumstances is slow. The din tance from ihe railway spur lo the upper terminal is nearly i\ miles, and there are a few subsidiary lines. Weather permitting, everything should be in running order by the end of the month This is a company thai, dons not part with a share under par, and the demrild for the stock shows that its value is appreciated. OXTAltlo LEGISLATURE, " It' a Dominion e!e.:tion is brought on at an early date—and it is snfe tn say that it will he—Premier Boss will adjourn the Provincial House until after the contest is over,'' wis the statement made by a prominent Lib •nil to The Mail and Km pi re Ihe other night.

SATURDAY, JAN. 10. f^\ AST week we had occasion to ro- *-*■ fer to the " liberal " actions of tiie little clique who appear to run the Liberal inn chine in this camp We stated then—on the authority of the gentleman himself—that J. W Ross had resigned the presidency of tho Ymir Liberal Association in disgust. Tue circumstances under which this action was taken were correctly sot forth in our article, and are denied by nobody save by that paragon of veracity, A. 11 Duckworth, the nowly appointed Grit correspondent of tho Nelson Daily News In unothe; column will be found a letter which '■tplains the appointment : ir, is Ouit news the News is after, and it will he dished up without any qualms of conscience by the Ymir representative. A glaring example of what liberties can betaken with the truth appears in the News of Tuesday last. It is from the Ymir correspondent of that pape", and slates that Mr. Ross had not resigned as president of the Liberal Association mid that "he has no intention of resigning from thu association as president." As to what Mr. Ross's intentions are, wo d» not know ; but that he DID resign, and resign under the circumstances detailed iu the MlRROH, there is no doubt whatever : ho incurred an expanse of $2 in summoning a meeting of the association, the as so'iation declined to honor the bill, and Mr. Ross told those pi osent that he would have nothing further lo do with "the crowd." Next day he sent iu his resignation. This was considered at the last meeting of the association, and Paddy Daly moved that the resignation be accepted, There was, however, no seconder, and an amendment carried expressing confidence in Mr Itoss, ami asking him to continue iu ollice. Of these facts Mr. Buck worth was in My aware, and yet he makes the deliberate statement that .Mr. Ross did lint resign. If this is the class of cor ri'spoiiduiice supplied from this camp the vulgar interpretation of uumgrano sails (with a big dose of salts) will be excusable. Bin Bill Galliher, M.P., lins been chosen to contest the next dominion election in the Libera! interests, with I Ion. C, H. Mcintosh, the Conserva tiie nominee, There is haul woik piid out for both men and their re -pective purlins. Our Conservative friends will have to get a big move on lo win as against Ihe sitting member, will i- one of the must popular men n ih • constituency. That was a horrible calamity—tha foundering of the Clallam oil Victoria , harbor. Fifty-six lives were lost with | the ill-fated steamer. Our own Harry : Wright, M.P.P., had a very close cull He bad arranged to leave for Victoria on the Thursday preceding the acci d-'iit, in which case he would doubtless have been a passenger on the Clallam Fortunately, he was detained until Saturday, a circumstance which saved him a very sad experience, if nothing worse, Tiie foundering of the Clallam goes to show that she was not a bout suitable for the run between Victoria and Seattle, und that she was not pro vided with ordinary safeguards, such as rockets, for instance. Weie a few of these sky scrapers available help , would have be n forthcoming in timo to have saved all on board, and pro bably the vessel herself, though t.issing about rudderless, The aynrice of a grasping steamship company sboul J not be allowed to jeopardise the lives of passengers, Ax alleged interview with Hairy Wright, said to have taken place iu Northport, is going the rounds of the press, which says that the member for Ymir opened his heart to a newspaper correspondent in the smelter town, and told him that he stood h'gh in the esteem of Premier McBride, and that he had been promised a portfolio. The ,tni bears all the oar-marks of Ymir. Mr. Wright is too sensible a man to talk thus over tho border. l'utu is again poking his nose into politics—this lime ns ti«. delegate from ihe Ymir Mill to the Liberal Couven linn, One would have thought thai In the, event of war between Russia and Japan the issue will be clearly un derstood by the world, Russia has ventured to encroach on Japan's recognized sphere of influence, ui.d has been ordered oil. Like a great bully, the Muscovite power hesitates lo obey the uieiidati! of its plucky little rival, and while it hesitates the dugs of war threaten to break loose. Japan's goar dianship over Corca is not a new doctrine. It led to the war between China und Japan in 18U4, when the Japanese fought for and won the independence of the peninsula. Someone has described Corea as an arrow pointed at the heart of Japan That is exactly how the situation presents itself to the Japanese mind. If Corea were occupied by a strong bostile'powcr it would always be a positive menace to Japan, There uro, however, other reasons for Japanese interest in Corea Japanese expansion and enterpris reach out in the direction of Corea, ho that Japan is practically endeavoring to lead its sister nation along the pathway of modem civilization. While not particularly progressive, Corea, is grateful for the protection und guidance of its .stand neighbor, Russia on the other hand, meditates the absorption of Corea. Its lirst step in that direction was the seizure of Manchuria under pretext of a temporary occupation during the Boxer tumbles. By the agreement with the powers, made on April Ulli, 11)02, Russia was to have evacuated Manchuria in eigb- ticn lltolltlis. The time limit expired, but Russia remained, Manchuria is the hick yard of Corea, It was annoy ing enough to the Japanese to Hud the Russians, in spite of their bond, »till lingering in Manchuria, but still more „xuspeuitiiig was it when they moved across the boundary i (to Core . 'I his was done under cover of a coiniiiercia concession, fiom tho Corean Government. Bussiun capitalists hail been conceded the privilege of cutting timber in tho forests of the Yiilu Valley So vaguely bad the privilege been dc- liucd that the speculators cli.imed the m bur in the entire die rie travers iîj by the Yalu River, from source to mouth, mid along all its tributaries« To operate this concession a force was moved into Corea, an important port was occupied, and a Russian semi- militiuy communityl was established' Corca objected, Japan protested, but Russia was indifferent to all representations. The Czar's Government was plainly repeating the process by which it had fastened itself upon Manchuria. Or. buhalf of Russia the suggestion has been advanced that the zone of Russian operations should be neutral ized, that is to say, alienated from the sovereignty of Corea. To this Japan will not consent. Nothing short of evacuation of the territory will satisfy the Mikado's Government. In taking that position Japan bus undoubtedly tho sympathy of the civilized world. It i.s not seeking to add it foot of land to its territory. It is simply demanding that Russia shall take its hands oft" Corea, whose independence Japan is pledged to maintain.

JOB PRINTING Life insurance companies which had policy-holders that lost their lives in the Iroquois lire will pursue a liberal policy iu the settlement of the losses Announcement is made by tho managers of most of tho high class companies that there will be no quibbling over technicalities. Without exception, the managers of tho large companies said that any reasonable proof of death und the receipt for the amount of the policy from tho beneficiaries would bo all that would-be required, The precedent that will be followed by the substantial companies is the same as in the Galveston flood, where u coroner's verdict was required. Cheques for the amounts uf insurance carried by some ■ victims have already been given to the beneficiaries. Tho Westminster Gazette, Londoi I says:—Tho resolution which the Can» diun Manufacturers' Association lu.s just passed proves very interesting. I'ariff reform in Canada is advocatec'i but there is no sign of a schedule uf forbidden industries, or of any willing ness to give that fair measure in return which Mr. Chamberlain demands as the price of tariir preference by the Mother Country, The words 'foreign competition " aro used clearly to include British competition. The West minster Gazette commands the map to those who beliovo that tho colonies have made any offer. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company is making it known to its thousands of employees that drunkenness in any department will not be tolerated, and one uf llie plans adopted is to urge as severe a sentenco as the law allows in casus where the safety of the public has twin iu jeopardy. As it result, John Band ridge and Harry M. Hill» man, .engineers, Montreal, have been sent to jail without the option of u line. In the case of Bandridge, there ,s a 8011.unce of six mouths,'which is probably the loiigc.t sentence iu it Canadian court for a like offence. Hill- man's sentence was four months. As a result of the reel it trip made by Archbishop Bruches! to Vancouver, it has been decided that the archbishopric of Vancouver should become t Canadian .See, und the uppointm nits to it made from the clergy of (anad i.

CAUSE FOR COMPLAIN I. addressed to The following letter, the editor of thu Nelson Daily News, is self-explanatory: I notice in Th« Daily News Ja paragraph mentioning my sending in an account for $17 50 to thu Nelson Agricultural & Industrial Association, for ■watching," »ml that thu samu was turned down. In justllicuiioti lo myself and the oitiaens of Ymir who greatly assisted in getting the exhibit together I should fuel obliguil if you would publish the following explanation. I arrived in Nelson with the Ymir exhibit thu day buloru the exhibition and upon going to the grounds found 'Jiings vury backward, and it was net until late at night that I was able to secure a position for my e.xhibt; I then had to obtain men to assist in getting it into place and hi order. During the following two days I had two men constantly attending the exhibit, and even with that protection several valuable samples were lost, aud others (borrowed ones) badly damaged. It was commented upon by members of the mining committee that I was running to a great expense and I was advised Iu send in an account of lb« cxpensu I was put to while on the exhibition grounds, and was told if I did so it would be paid. This 1 did about September 28tb, and al Ibe same time sending a letter of explanation, and I may Say lhat Jboth were i-iiinpletely ignored. Furthur, at the exhibition I was awarded three lirsl prisses and the ouly diploma giycn in the mining section (vide ikaily News report.), a» I up to the present time I U.iVd nut received any ol llieni. At the beginning of till* year I thought il was time (Uinuthiiig was dune about tile mailer as 1 was told that other camps who ceri'tainly never had Iheni awarded were showing diplomat« received from Nelson; so I wrote Mr. Aiutble about the matter, stating that I thought it lime I received some recognition, und reminding biiu that be bad not answered my previous letter, The paragraph mentioned in your paper is the only answer I have received up to llie pie- *'iit.

Wonderful Growth of the flail Order Business of The Robert .Simpson Company, Limited, Toronto. SOVE INTERESTING DETAILS OF THE BIO TORONTO STORE. Toronto has long been noted as the city of fine stores. With her miles of beautiful residential streets, her avenues of tre?s. splendid lake frort, unequalled street car service and her Brent department stores, such as that n' the Robert .Simpson Company, her cltlrens possess advantages few other cities can boast. The firm, ki Mr. Simpson's death, In 1S97. became a limited company, mid no modern phenomenon of the business world, en far as Toronto is conceited, has occasioned more remark than the growth of the business of the Itobert Simpson Company, Large though the building Is and added to from time to time as It has been, The Hoben Simpson Company build- lug stands In the most prominent position In .he city, viz., the Houthwest corner nf Queen and Toa^e Strews, where, situated In the very centre of the city. It has long been one of th» most familiar land-marks of the town. As a specimen of modern store architecture. It stands supreme In Canada. It extends from Queen Street on che north cleor through the block to Itleh- tnond Street on the south, with a long series of magnlfteent front windows on Queen, Tonge and Richmond Streets. Counting the basement, the store numbers seven selling floors, ench of whloh would provide Room for a Regiments Drill Manoevers. On these seven floors, In twenty1- three distinct departments, praotlcally everything needed tn dally life, mnv be bought for the lowest economical price for which a Btore oan sell It. Experienced enterprising "buyers" are scouring the world nearly six months of the year securing the most suitable merchandise where It Is produced best and cheapest. Quantity Is no drawback. The bigger quantity bought, the lower the price. It the good« are right the Robert Simpson Company cannot take too much of them. The badness now known as the Robert Simpson Company Limited was established away back In 1873. by the late Mr. Robert Simpson. An unequalled Judge of dress goods and silks, nls store soon acquired a reputation for dress fabrics second to none In Can* ada, and that reputation has been one of the store's most valued and most. carefully treasured assets ever s.'nee. Soon Tonge Street rivalled King Street In Its attraotlveness for the ladles of Toronto, and when after the great fire In 1895. the new bnlldtn« was erected. Tonge Street was Indisputably master of the situation. To-day the tide of retnll business flows full«*! right »t Ihe corner of Queen and Tonge Street«, lo less than four blocks nortll of where R eentercd ten year« tntr lit was still ton Htnnîl until a few weeks npo to iiecominndate the wealthof merchandise which comprîtes the Robert Simpson Company's "forward" stork.
