W. J. Galliher, member for theKoot* enay division in the Dominion House, was in the city on Tuesday last paying an informal visit to his constituents, and on the evening of that day the Young Liberal Association of Fernie (a recently formed society of enthusiastic young men). tendered. Mr. Galliher a luncheon at the Waldorf-Hotel. . After justice had been done to an ample and well served meal, and the toast to the King had been drunk with enthusiasm (no cranks being present), Dr. Hig_>ins_ president of the Liberal Association of Fernie, in a few well chOBen' words, proposed a toast to the guest of the evening. *. * - ,. -. _ The rising of Mr. Galliher to respond to the toast of his health was a signal for an outburst of cheers and the singing of" For he'B a jolly good fellow." Mr. Galliher dwelt on, the necessity of all the Liberal forces standing together, the young men combining with the parent association so that no friction should ^detract from the results' that might be achieved at the next election, Mr. .Galliher also advised co-operation in the selection.of candidates for posii tions, and warned those concerned, to guard against tbe clashing of conflicting interests.- - - -- .- - . , At the conclusion of the speech of the honorable member, J. W. Nunn, the city clerk, was called upon to propose the toast to the Press. With some .brevityuand^»nore7w.it,_the„speaker, referred to the principal dilemna of his life ,when once he purchased a pound of butter, which he wrapped in a copy of the.'1 Winnipeg Telegram," and placing the butter in an incubator for safoty, it ,was hatched into lyo. This was partici ularly hard on the editor, of "The Ledger." " Mr, Pedler began the responding for "the'.rrei5s,,on account of. bie agev The editor of ''ThVFfee Press", was, as he always is, modest and diffident, ojid tt tho end of au hour's talking it was evident he only wants a cassock to complete his evangelization of the city. The editor of "The Lodger", followed Apostle George with his usual auBtority of thought, „ ■ . In responding to tho toftBt ot tho ladies, Mr. Talt proved himself a master of his subject, his first sentence eliciting a round of applause that entirely out' classed anything from any other speaker, nnd mado tho remainder of his speech prosaic in tho extreme, To Mr. Fisher fell the duty of respond-' ing to the Young Liberal Association. Tlio last toast of tbo evening was one to It. II.

CRISIS. There is a kind of goodness abroad that is enough to make decent, men and women' breathe the Pharisee's prayer, "God, I thank thee that* I am not'as other'men are.!' The kind of goodness'that walks about .with the placard/about its neck", "I"*,,am goad,",and turns tip its nose at everything that is not squared to its miscroscdplc standard of holiness, must matte ■ devils laugh as well" as angel's weep. We have known' men who were to good, that%the song of_ the little birds on'Sunday-disturbed the" sanctity of their Sabbath thoughts, while for a*' human .-being to whistle on the Lord's day. was.'an "awful desecration." .Some of'.these were men to good that they could hot live with their wives nor get along1 with their "children. The goodness that secludes';_ itself and finds expression in ascetic criticism of che world, in general, and other Chris-' tians in particular, is a kind concerning which we' may well pray, '■Good Lord deliver us." It is born of selfishness just as much as "beer guzzling," with", the advantage, i' favor, of tho latter, as the guzzler usually shares his pleasure. ' "He that ■ separateth himself seeketh*. bis own desire,' saith Solomon. 'Look out that yoar goodness'.is not' conceit, prejudice or a bad liver."Goodness ' and.' sweetness are, inseparable.1 You can't1 palm- off. that • wretched counterfeit- compound of narrowness,, selfishness and egotism as the pure thing. Tlie world "does not make many mistakes' in its estimates '• of riien." You- nre valued at your worth.

All big inventions have been sneerod at and turned down, and stock went begging at a low price, and not one person in a thousand took advantage of the opportunity to buy the stock. For example, Mr. Westinghouse, inventor of the now famous air-brake, was kicked out of his own father's factory.; Kelly, the inventor of Bessemer steel, was called crazy, Bell Telephone stock went begging,, as also thousands of others too numerous to mention. Mostly all the big fortunes have been made through patents, or brains as it should be called. What is ti stockholder in pur company! He; is a partner. His stock represents liis interest..
