Stamp taxes are producing more revenue than was expected. This goes to show that Mr. Fielding's tariff increases were greater than the reductions. It is also shown that even when direct taxes are raised to the utmost it was not possible to make any decrease in the customs taxation. It does not matter much which whether we call the present system a revenue tariff or a protective tariff, since it is evidently both. Moreover, there is nothing incidental either in the protective or the revenue features. Both are intentional, and both are necessary. While there are sufficient reasons for exclusive immigration regulations, Canadians do not forget that the few people of India now living in Canada are British .subjects by birth, and not in the same political category as foreign Asiatics. ARTHUR GRIFFITH THE FIFTH JURY IT has not been the good fortune of Arthur Griffith to see the full fruit of his memorable decision to promote peace in Ireland by accepting home rule within the empire. One of the most determined of the former Sinn Fein leaders in former days, he took his full share of the penalties. But he was also the first of that southern Irish to see that his people might obtain by negotiation all the powers of self-government that were necessary to satisfy their reasonable ambitions. As president of the Dail Mr. Griffith has recently been less conspicuous than the premier of the free state. But the party leader had from him the silent support of a strong and resolute man, with great influence over their former associates. For months they perplexed the British government and the world outside by their apparent inaction in the face of all kinds of aggression from De Valera and his followers. It is now conceded that their strategy was sound. When the free state government deemed the time ripe for decisive action the republicans had put themselves so far wrong that they were left almost without support from responsible people in the country, and had alienated most of the sympathy of the Irish abroad. It will j be understood some day what share Arthur Grif-; fith had in these councils. At present it is known that he and the premier worked cordially together. If Mr. Collins has been found in the end effective in military acticn, it seems certain that Mr. Griffith was sagacious in advice.

PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $336,562,897 Lode mining has only been in progress for about 33 years, and not 20 per cent, of the Province has been even prospected; 300,000 square miles of unexplored mineral-bearing land are open for prospecting. The mining laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees lower than those of any oth.r Province in the Dominion, or any Colony in the British Empire. Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees. Absolute Titles are obtained by developing such properties, 89- curity of which is guaranteed by Crown Grants. Full information,' together with Mining Reports and Maps, may te obtained gratis by addressing THE HON. THE MINISTER OF MINES. Victoria, British Columbia. Do not lose faith in humanity. The smile is mightier than the frown. One speck of ore does not make a mine. The soul never ripens that has not suffered. The wheels in some heads have missing cogs. Learn to laugh. Pork, tobacco and booze are barred out of Zion city. Boost or knock The News. Either will suit the editor. It is easy to preach abstinence to others when your tank is full of food and drink.

Humor looks foolish to those who have no savey. Ganius is like gold rock. Few know it when they see it. Air is one of the best and cheapest things on earth. A deadbeat would pay as quickly by any other name. The Portland canal district has the best climate in northern British Columbia. It is easier for a Chink to go through Stewart than it is for a delinquent subscriber to enter heaven.

We have yellow metal, and many yellow people, but no yellow fever. The perversity of man is peculiar.

He can hardly spit in that burg without dropping a penny in the slot. About the only thing you can drop in that great city without being taxed is your H's. Than you am not what you is. If you're just a little tadpole, Don't try to be a frog, If you're just the tail, Don't try to wag the dog. You can always pass the olate, If you can't exhort and preach. If you're just a little pebble, Don't try to be the beach. Don't be what you ain't, Jes' be what vou is. MINERAL ACT. Certilicate of Improvements. NOTICE.
