Tin: Tobacco Plains Indians, near Roosville, held a bin levee, There was a notable gathering at tlte prelty Indian village, situated at the north end of Roosville Valley, the land of sunshine, Irult, two-handled pumpkins and doulde-yolkcd eggs, last week in celebration ol the coming of age festivities of Johnny-Long- TimoBefore-the-Moon-Comea-Up. Lavish arrangements had Vict-n made for the celebration and dozens, of Indians with their squaws and papooses wen* invited to the festivities, a large company assembling. All the cream-dc-la-slcim were, there from distant reserves and the proceedings were one continuous round of pleasure and went along as smooth as a Wednesday evening prayer meeting. The chief eviiii was the presentation to Uie young Nobleman Chief .lohnny- Loivg-Time-ltefore tlw* - Moon - Comes Up, with a tine running horse, from the young braves*. Jim Thistlebcak, editor of "Human Interest Weekly and Plain Tall.," president oi the Roosville I'fng Pons cluh, made the preset) la I iou «i i li remarks tha i would make a cabinet minister quit liis job, and had Johnny feeling like a self-made millionaire about to eat consomme. In his closing remarks he said thnt Johnny was bigger, grander, nobler and tighter arouiul the chest than any brave on the reserve. Young Chief Johnny, who was greeted wilh applause, spoke with Indian directness and brevity in expressing his thanks for the gift and appreciation of tbe g'>od feeling lhat had bun shown. Like a clash of thunder that foi lows the lightning tho enthusiasm began and he received an ovation which might have gratified the last of tin* Caesars, and he went around shaking hands like a president on parade.

The banquet was excellent, and the tea, coffee and buttermilk beyond reproach, and the braves, iheir squaws and papooses went afler the good things like a Kentucky colonel after corn-juice, and never blinked an eye. The biscuit shooters were ;, miracle of speed and politeness. A variety of outdoor sports and anuisetTH*nts had been arranged and was carried out without a hitch Wrestling on horseback was won by Mud-iii-the-Kye Flying Bud captured the three hiiiu'red van) horse race.

The village hand scattered seeds of musical kindness, which consisted of lirst base drum, second base drum, big drum ami litlle drum,.making au elegant combination of harmony. ((biliously fine weather favored the occasion, the sun shining during the whole of ihe festivities, with all the warmth ami brightness possible. The Milage was gaily decorated with Hags and bunting, kindly loaned for Hie occasion by the Roosville Cash Stoic company. The braves bad 'on iheir best clothes and enough Rainbow face powder to raise a sour rlougb bannock. The s.juaws were dressed like New- York's Four Hundred, with a slight difference, and for all the world looked as proud as a drove of peacocks. In the evening Miss Millie- Bull Trout, "Tho Speckled Beauty," sang several selections by request and was accompanied by the Village Siring Bean Band. She was very stylishly, dressed in an exquisite, very short skirt, of Tobacco Plains sheep-herders plaid, with mud dots* and green goose quills, a squaw town opera shawl covered her classic shoulders and was fastened in front by a very pretty barb-wire plaited fence spike, rainbow colored blanket hose and beaded moccasins, she had a ring with a diamond in it as big as a hickory nut, and when she fanned herself you would think she had bought out some jeweller. ler bail" black as ibe ravin-; wing hung down her back in cowtall plaits aud her general appearance . would make Cleopatra look like a suffragette out ol a j"b. She sang "My Red Iriyh Nose" and "Voi Never Miss tbe Daughter Till the Lights (Jo Oul," in a style that would make Madame Melba ashamed of herself it she heard it. The applause she received fairly shook the mountains, and for an encore she sang very feelingly, "Drive Them Steers." It was one of the greatest events ever held on Tobacco Plains.

MARYSVILLE (Special correspondence;. On Saturday evening last a meeting of tlie Conservative association of this dislrict was called for the purpose of electing ollicers for the forthcoming year, when a large anil representative body of members of the association foregathered in the association rooms. The proceedings throughout were marked by a spirit of unity aud concord which augurs well for the luture harmonious working ol the association. Amongst those present were: Messrs. Burdett, Hand- ley, James, Hon. .Sec; White, Treas.; (r. Hodgson, D. Fairbairn, Titter- ton, Mel lor, Waterman, Lundin, Fairbairn, Hoi man, Welsh, Middlcton, 11. Heischmer, A. Hawkes. Cilia), Lund. It being the and no other n ed for the ollice W. Burdelt was wish of all present, ember being nominal- of president, Mr. N- electcd to that olhci bv acclamation. As regards lhe Other offices ihe following members were elected to bold office for lhe ensultiR year: Vice-President—Mr. A. Mcllor. See-Treas.—Mi. A. Fairbairn Auditor—Mr. D, Fairbairn, Kxectitive committee — Missis James, Hormau, Herschmei, Lundin, Hawkes. We feci sure that with such inerge- tie and Capable members of the association holding lhe reins of office the welfare of the district will be well safeguarded. It is felt that the district has not received that recognition from outsiders that is rightly its due, but the forthcoming year will see renewed activities in its immni.se mining and lumber areas, and this fact, coupled wilh its deservedly famous agricultural possibilities will bring the district into the foremost rank of those already regarded as the richest and most, progressive in the whole Dominion. Business men of Prince Rupert and Northern British Columbia are planning an excursion across the continent to the Atlantic terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific upon the com- early next year. A special train will carry tlu; excursionists east, eitlh-r in July or August. Worthy of the worlds best music To most of us the chance toliear human playing of good music comes infrequently. Only in the great cities are the appetites of the music-hungry satisfied. Even then one can hear but a small part of all the worth while concerts. Fortunately for those who love the masters of lhe past, and who have the judgment to recognize in present day composers the masters of the future, there is the kdison Phonograph. It is worthy of Wagner, of Bach, of Puccini. The clear, sweet tone, remarkable in its purity, is simply a translate'!, of human music into your own home. Unless you have heard lhe newest Edisons, you have no conception of their wonderful mellow quality. You never realized that such beauty could be applied to sound. Ask your Edison dealer to play one of the Blue Amberol Records then you will know that the whole world of good music —past and present—is open lo you.

When completed tho schools will have cost over 215,000,' anal expenditure, which could nol easily liave been undertaken by the Catholics ot the city were they nol generously aided by the Archbishop of Vancouver and the Fathers of the Oblate, Order who have charge of the parish and district. The structure and the manner in which it is erected reflect tlie greatest credit on George H. Leask, who had the contract for the entire erection of the building. With him was associated Mr. F. O'Hara, city engineer, who exercised a general supervision over tlie progress of the work, besides keeping a sharp lookout on the financial end of tlie matter. The trustees were certainly prcpent- ed with sonic proh.ems .suggestive of financial anxiety, hut as the schools simply had to co:uc into existence, they stand as a concrete example of what a bit of quiet determination can do even In the face of hard times and the tlcnon of "financial stringency" which is invoked at every turn of the road these times. The structure is sonic 75 feet by 40, and consists of an extensive basement, constructed of concrete throughout, and divided into separate play rooms for boys and girls. These can be made use of in inclement weather. There is also a furnace room, coal room and the usual equipment of such plants. In thc basement, also, are situated tlie labatorics fitted with the most recent and improved appliances. Thc niain door, slightly raised above the level of the street, is approached by a vestibule and hall, off which to tin- left, renter anal right, open the three class rooms. The points most emphasized in these three .most important apartments, are abundant light, perfect ventilation and comfortable heating, Two of the class rooms are lighted on two sides with high and wide windows, one from the west and north, the other from thc north and east. The third room is lighted entirely from the north, a very important matter where there may he children affected with tender eyes who sufier in their studies if there be a glare in the room in which tliey have lo read and write. The room above the class room level is occupied with a most excellent public hall, 70 feet by 30 and fitted with a permanent stage j for lecturing and theatrical purposes at the east end. This is one of tbe liest, it not the very besl hall in the city for public entertainments, balls, private damn's, lectures, public meet- ings and so on. The lloor is in polished maple so that dancing will be a I most delightful experieni-e—unless, of j course, thai one is cursed with a I partner who needs to he yan'ced j around with a derrick and, It is said, I the woods arc full cf them. The stage j will make a most convenient suppcr room ami, what adds very considerably to lhe convenience is that th.-re I all manner of first, rate cooking appliances provided, including a range, • hot and cold water and an entrance trom the side which can be used without, Interfering with lhe guests ! on the floor. Trie plaee should be largely patronized hy those giving private dances where more Invitations are issued than one's house can accommodate, clonk rooms are also provided with Ihe usual toilet appliances for ladies. On this lloor is I the teachers' room opening out on a sort of sun-vernndah and commanding as lovely a view of thc Selkirks and the valley away to the north and south as one can lint. Below, to the north and east, lies the city, to , the west tlie railway yards and to j the soulh west one can mark the trains toiling slowly up Loco hill | MB they disappear down towards I Wattsburg. This room can be availed of on the occasion of dances as an ante-room, palm-room, card-room or j ante room. I The grounds cover eight lots, but j hare not yet lieen divided into the j separate playgrounds for thc boys and girls which arc intended. I Taken as a whole, thc structure is a most decided addition to the public buildings of flic city and help to add distinction to the residential portion of the city. Mr. John Reid, thc government road superintendent, very furnish lhe teaching stall faar all the grades. Tbe educational standard on all lhe subjects embraced the curriculum a,i the ordinary government schools and high si-ho.ais will mosl certainlj be maintained li will be the keen ambit ia.n of tha' laui- ies in charge to oven better thai Standard.

Quite a number of donations have iM-a'n received from ilia- merchants aal tne city und from many outsiders in distant places. One notable ami most acceptable presentation consists of fifty sa-hulil desks given by the Kink Mercantile Compnny a>i Cranbrook. At this season oi ilia' year one thinks of how the warmth oi the ehildran will be provided faar. The matter of healing anal tin- plumbing was put into tin1 hands of Pntmoro Brothers of this cily, whose work is a synonym fair excellence wherever' It is Installed, This part of the work alone, cost, over S3,noo, but it is done in the very best possible maim ir. Acting on the suggestion of the contractors lhe trustees adopted the hot water syslem aaf hrating in prc- ti rente to any other method. This is lh.' firsl separate Catholic school elected in I he interior of British Columbia, hot is believed to be merely the forerunner of many to be built in the immediate future.

The loaded Pat ears bore a weight of about 100 tons and passed through Kitehmer station with a roar. Number M -?ast bound Son freight was expected at Kitchener any minute and a head-on collision seemed certain. Cranbrook was immediately notified and the wrecking crew and duclors were hiirridly called to go the scene, but, just iK'fore leaving, word arrived that number SI had arrived safely at Kitchener with out seeing anything of the runaway cars. It seems that as the runaway cars were within a tjuarter ol a mile of the freight train they jumped the.. trac1*; while rounding a curve am. buried tliemsehes down a hundred foot ban1*:. Travelling at such a speed they made a clean jump over the embankment nnd without injuring tho track, thus allowing Xo 81 to pass safely by. The wrecking crew mid doctors dispersed with glad hearts, because with the conglomeration of curves at this point the crew of the freight train would scarcely have had a second's warning, a"d a heavy death list seem cd'to be averted only hv a miracle CHRISTMAS MIS HEAVIER IHAN EVER SIV CAHI.OADS MORE THAN LAST YEAH COME FHO.M BNGLAND-EXTKA CLERKS ENGAGED. Ottawa, Dei-. 33.—Tho post ofTic department, with its army of postmasters, clerks anal men in the railway mail service, is struggling with a heavier volume of Christmas mail Ihan ever In the past. The stories of haral times are belled by lhe increase iu mail mal ter of all hinils anil heavy increase in mails from the old country. Last year when there wns only lhe weekly mail service [rom the old country the main Christmas mails arrived on December 211th, on the Empress of Ireland, and consisted, of twenty-three carloads. This yeiir there is a semi-weekly service and the Cnrsicnn, arriving on Friday, hriMghl eleven carloads of mail, while the Britain, reaching Halifax on Saturday, broiighi eighteen carloads, Ivaity-ninc in all, or six carloads more ihan hist year. The Orainpinn, arriving on Christmas day and tlie Scandinavian, about Saturday, win hove a small amount of delayed mail. The heavy British mails are accounted for, of course, by the largely Increased Immigration during rcivnt years, and lhe fact that parcels post rates between the old country anal Canada nre at present much cheaper relatively Ihan rates in Canada. Then, loo, lhe people at home in Uie old land feel it a duty lo cheer anal comfort those u ho have gone s0 far away. When the Britain arrivul on Saturday two special trains carried Ibi' mail lo Montreal. Fr0m there on a special train carried lhe western mail to Winnipeg. An Interesting feature of the early Christmas mails was the carload for •lapan and China that was received from lhe boat at Halifax a few weeks ae;o and sent across to Vancouver to catch the Pacific liner. Koine 1,200 or l.nno extra clerks were taken! on at post oiTices in all cities and larger towns to help handle the Christmas rush. In all lhe busier centres the staffs are larger than last year. In Montreal 250 extra clerks are employed, in To- ronlo 200, and similar Increases are made in (at her place's.

Cranbrook people have lhe knaele ol observing Christmas in lhe old fashioned way with festivities, family reunions, various church services and seeing to it that needy people arc provided lor. This is more in keeping wilh the true spirit of Christmas than thc mere exchange of valunlile and cosily presents. If everyone In (lie city is provided wilh a warm and substantial Christmas dinner the true spirit ot Christmas should pervade thc whole city. Let everyone endeavor to perform sume true charitable act and spend the day with happy thoughts ami a cheery greeting, for everyone and then we shall rest assured that in this , city, at least, "peace on earth and good will toward men" will have reached its nearest approach to a practical realization. That there arc shortcomings in the government land policy ol British Columbia has even percolated into Victoria. In a recent issue ol Thc Week, a staunch Conservative organ published at Victoria, is tound an outline of a land policy for British Columbia. Thc keynote of thc ar tide is government aid for farmers which is all right, but we are ol thc opinion that first, the government should provide thc land for lhe ac tual settler and then if he needs aid, which Is more eloitbtf.it under those conditions, be> prepared to furnish that as well. The article Is reproduced in another column ol tbis issue. The Week realizes that the "actual settler" is being alienated from Hritish Columbia lands. What is needed most is a sweeping homestead law which iroulil people vast tracts ol idle land in this province. The present policy is to sell, to sell everything that will bring money into, the coffers of a fast bankrupting government. .The heritage of this wonderful province is being dissipated and homeseckers arc being driven away, lands arc held in enormous holdings by thc speculators and capitalists and the cold shoulder is turned on the man who seeks to get on the land and produce something. With the announcement which has just been made public that a sub port ol Customs has been established lor the Windermere Mining Division and that it is to be subject to this port there is forged one more link in the great commercial chain which is being made to bind that District closer to our own- The office opens to pass goods em 1 lie second of lanuary It Is a good omen for tbe year. In the year which Is past thc forest fire control for thai part was administ- ered from here, a bond of union slight in Itsell but helping in the right ell rcctlon was later brought about when E. II. Small re-opened the hotel midway between us at the Canal Flats Thc Kootenay Central is still a lurther influence to bind us lor eommu location is constantly taking place between their construction camps on the Southern limits of that District and this place. It is even now hinted that the construction ot the railway Irom the South to Invermere, at which point the District Freight shed and station arc to be plaecel, may be completed ami in operation from here before it is from the North country to that part. Here will certainly be be our great holt!. One more item of great importance and one which the Board of Trade ol that District has urgexl lor would be the establishment ol a line ol telephonic communication between Though the Hoard ol Trade in its morion presenteel at tlie annual Convention of the Associated Hoards of Trail,' of Eastern British Columbia urged thai, this line be constructed by athe Dominion Government yet (ailing that we have reason to suppose that they would gladly welcome the cons- truction North by our local Company. ln lact many persons of influence and means from that part have gone so lar as to say if this was seriously thought of that they would go so lar as to subscribe liberally to the Stock of the local Company if they would undertake to complete the link from Wasa to Wimdermerc an approximate distance of say eighty miles. Let us be up and doing. l.et not the opportunities of the year lsl4.be passed by but let us in own local might foi'gc as we may link by link ln Hie chain which is going to bind this great Windermere District to us commercially and in every otlier way. THE BATTLE CKY OF LIBERALISM. "The policy I gave you at this moment, the policy I believe every patriot in Canada ought to support, and the policy I believe it to be the duty of the government to immediately inaugurate, is a policy of absolutely free food—food free from customs duties."—Rt, Hon. Sir Wilfrid, Laurier at the banquet of the Liberal Club Federation at Hamilton, (mt., on November 26th, 1913. "Europe, is ana armed camp. Its leading nations spend Irom a third to a hall of their revenues In munitions of -war. ... I don't believe any one ol them contemplates aggression. They are only, distrustful, and because, theji dare not join hands and work together lor good—this is what they call "The European Concert." Sir, it is not a concert but a furnace, and yet It is into this, furnace that the government would lead us. If I speak strongly on this subject it is because I believe in the principle of Liberalism; thc principle ol autonomy and- self-government; lhe only policy which will ever be accepted by thc Canadian people—Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Hamilton, November 26th, 1913. "Stand to your ideals. Stand fast, stand true. Fulfill tlie great duties that belong to British citizenship. Keep your ideal before you like the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, which guided the people of Cod from thc tribulation of bondage. Let all together, young and old, join Jiand.i. ffird your loins, ihuckle on your armor, unfurl our standard and go forward together in service in earnest, whole-hearted, unselfish, service tor Canada first, Canada last and Canada tor ever."—Sir Wilfrid Laurier. When others were in doubt Sir Wilfrid Laurier saw clearly that there could be no permanent unity among the free peoples ol thc empire expert upon the basis ol an equality in status ol all the free and self-governing portions of the empire. He realized that thc status ol Canada must be changed Irom that ol & polony to a free nation within thc empire; that this change should be brought about, not by legislative enactment, but by the demand on our part for a new status, persisted in until the people ol Canada were convinced ol its necessity, and persisted until the people ol Oreat Britain wero convinced that It was right. His steady pursuit ol this policy until the new status was recognized and aexicpted constitutes one ol his greatest achievements."—Mr. N. W. Rowell, K.C., M.P.]'. "Let us not forget Liberalism is the creed ol the democracy, and the democracy has not yet come to Its own. It is the party ol progress."— Mr. N. W. Rowell, K.C., M.P.P. » WE ARE FEEDING AMERICANS. A few days ago a steam trawler came into Hawkesbury, N. S., with 180,000 pounds ol rash aboard. Other trawlers came In with equally large catches. This bountilul harvest ol thc Canadian waters eased the burden ol high living ot the Canadian consumer by not one single cent. They did not eat the fish,and prices remained stationary. Every pound ol thc catch went to tho I). S., and not one cent ol duty was paid on it. The Canadian fish- erics benefitted American consumers. Had this been an American trawler, fishing in U, S. waters, it would have paid in Ihe neighborhood ot 11,800 duty belore the fish could reach thc Canadian meal table.

THE MICE HND MUTCHES MYTH EXPERIMENTS MADE BV EX PERTS SHOW RODENTS WILL NOT GNAW MODERN MATCHES. Rapidly - giowing interest iu fire prevention has led to clover analysis nf the causes aaf fires. It had long been popular to attribute blazes which could not be otherwise accounted lot to, the gnawing ol matches by rats and mice. Nearly all lires which started in partitions or outrof-the-way places were easily explained in this way, and it is probable that many which were due lo carelessness or to faulty or doterlor- atlng electric wiring were charged up to the convenient rodent hazard. The proportion of lires accounted lor in this way became so large tliat the attention of thc fire prevention experts was attracted, and finally experiments were made which showed tliat the theory was merely a myth. Hundreds ol rats and mice, were starved to death, with matches ais thc only articles they could gnaw, and in not a single case was a match ignited or any c-vielence of the iteolh ol the animals. These experiment scientifically conducted by technical experts, show that ingredients ar used in tho modern match compost tion whose odor, fumes and tasta' while not poisonous, are strangle repugnant and obnoxious to rnts and mice, and roilents will starve to death before thoy will attempt la gnaw such chemical rompe/iiKls. ln order to determine this lact ti series of experiments was recently conducted. A number of rats ami mice wero caught in wire traps, the (raps being Inspected dally. Tha' animals caught were transferred t(, separate cages, with one ia each, the four skies of the cages being compose.! of tile and the ends being made ol wire. These cages were located in a safely-guarded place and each animal was kept a determined lenglh ol time without food or water. In each cage 150 thoroughly seasoned white parlor or douhliMlroppeei matches were then placed, with a small quantity ol straw, the latter in order to facilitate evidence of fire in ease of any ignition. No tood or w-ater was placed in the cages at any time. Exact records ol the tests were kept, tlw universal result being that while the rodents lived Irom one to live days alter the matches ami straw had heen placed in their cages, in no case was there any fire or even any signs ol the match heads having been gnawed. During the present year A. II. Nlickollc, chemical engineer ol the Underwriter's Laboratories, visited one ol the leading match factories iu order to conduct a series of chtmllotil tests of the composition of lhe matches made, with a view to Introducing the label Systran guaranteeing lhat. tbey had been prepared in. accordance with lire prevention regulations. Being deeply Interested in the question of fire hazards, he repeated this test on rats and mice, with such changes as he saw fit lo make as- to details of the construction of the cages and oilier methods of rendering the test scientifically conclusive. He used not only phosphorus but also the very latest non- poisonous sesqail-sillphldc matches.and thc results fully corroborated thc previous records. His report to the council of the laboratories said: "The results ol thc cutting tests show that types A, II. am! C. are safeguarded sufficiently in respect to ignition by friction to make It difficult lor a rat or mouse to ignite the composition by gnawing. The bulb of type D. is practically non-ignitible by gnawing. It is considered improbable tbat a rat ot mouse would gnaw thc phosphorous tip which is Irritating and poisonous lo animal life. In consequence lhe lire protection experts hold tnat both rats and mice, will starve in the presence of matches without attempting to eat the match composition or to gnaw the splints, and that Ihere Is nn truth in the commonly accepted theory that ratfi ami mice slart fires with matches.

In Loin, 25 tuti. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Editor Herald'. Dear Sir: May 1 ask for space in which to make a few comments an the article over the signature "Interested" in your issue of 4th inst. I do not wish to keep, up anything in thc nature ot controversy, but simply to make our position clear. When 1 stated tluit no Christian Scientist ever denies medical attention to anyone that desires it, I did not mean to imply that medicine and Christian Science could be availed of at tlio same time, but that we should give up the cose at once to medicine, our text-book "Science and Health, Witli Key to the Scriptures," by Mrs. Eddy, states on page 143, "If patients fail to experience the healing) power of Christian Science, and tliin'e that they can be benefited by certain physical methods of medical treat ment, Ihi'n Ihe Mlnd-physloian should give np such cases, and lra™ inv'alhls free to resort to whatever other systems Ihey fancy will afford relict." If there wus any evidence that thc he'aling which was such a largo part ol Jesus' ministry was anything but purely spiritual, und wc were not so plainly told to do the works He did, and Hut wc should be able to do them and even greater works II we believed on Him (understood His teaching), there might be some reason for contending that wc were obeying the command to "Heal thc sick" by using medical means, and neglecting to do so when using spiritual means alone. Spiritual healing was practised in the early churcb lor some three hundred years, and has been revived in Christian Science. Some two years ago the enemies of Christian Science published a list ot some thirty-two cases of children who had died of zymotic diseases while under Christian Scienco treatment in the whole United States during the previous thirteen years. Tlie vital statistics lor thc city ol New York that year showed that some 27,000 similar cases had lieen lost in tliat city in the one year. At least the majority ol these must have been under mistical treatment. I think it is very far fetched to take thc quotation from Matt. 9-13: "They that be Whole need not a physician, but tliey that are sick," to mean that Jesus countenanced medical means. It could only be so taken if the word physician necessarily moans a doctor of medicine, lesus is relerred to as The Oreat Physician, und it cannot be contended that He used medical means. He always held that Ills works ol healing were tho proof of the truth ol His teaching, and said that they could be repeated by those who believed on Him, and sue-h works were considered the necessary proot ol Christianity in the early,church, and should bo s0 now.

Canada had never been in such n happy condition as it was previous to the time that Sir Wilfrid Laurier laid down the reins ol office. No matter how Premier Borden and his heterogenous group ol colleagues might blunder ihey could not immediately stem the tide of prosperity. They blundered blindly along for a year or more, hoping that luck would pull them through. They played ducks and drakes with the treasury, grabbed everything in sight and borrowed in Kngland when funds ran short; the country's business was run by deputies nnd occasional ministers, while the rest ot the cabinet enjoyed themselves travelling around i» private cars and government steamboats. Hy September last the wave ot Liberal progress and prosperity had spent its force. There had boon •nothing done to continue it. From that time there has been a continual reversion to the unhappy state of nl- fairs that obtained prior to the election of thc Liberal government in 1896. In October, 1013, tlw gross revenue dropped $533,3*18 as compared wilh the same month of tlie previous year. In November it dropped $7*12,707. During 'September, October and November the customs revenue declined by $2,001,03*1, shewing -that merchants were trimming their sails lor reduced trade. The puhlic debt in- crcasi'd $3,527,020 during October and November.
