Sir Wilfrid Laurier told Mr. Martin that if he could not interfere in his behalf he had tiiroBelf to blame. Mr. Mar in has himself to Maine for many things. He has himself to blame for many of the personalities with which he is met. He provokes them. For inetanoe, at Port Haney the other night he said that "there wbb no money in it for him to be in politics." If this meant anything it mennt that he wns making a sucrifico of his per- soual interests for the good of the country. It oonld mean nothing else, and he was making a boast of it. When he most unexpectedly let himself out of the Greenway Government in Manitoba he settloddown to the practice of his profession iu Winnipeg, whero he resided for six or seven yenrs ns Attorney-General. Wo do not say that Mr. Martin did not make his salt, for salt is cheap and a few dollars will lay in a liberal Bnpply ;but it was well understood in Winnipeg that he did uot make a sneoess of his prnotice, and nt thefirfit opening belieggod and pleaded with his party to give him a nomination, in order that he might get hack into politics. Mr. Martin will please remember that be has himself to blame for this little reminiscence. At the Nnnaiino meeting wbioh nominated Mr. Ralph Smith complaint wuh mnde that, muoh desirable legislation wns sacrificed last session because of the aotiou of Mr. Martin, who, although professing to be a great frieud of the laboring classes, deserted thcii friends at tho most critical moment. Mr. Mnrtin is the friend of the laboring classes when it suits him to be, as be is of the corporations. As his interest in tbem depends upon oir- cunistanceB, it is liable to vary; bat the ouo thing that uever varies is bis deop interest in himself and hiB determination to push bis own fortunes at any oost. THE RED FRONT GROCERY GREENS, GREENS, GREENS In his address to the Young Conservatives of Vancouver, the pnrty leader, Mr. Charles Wilson, Bpoko approvingly of the principle of Government railways, but was obliged to confess that in its application to British Colnmbiu under existing cirounistanoefl there are difficulties tbat mny not easily be overcome. We think Mr. Wilson will be well advised if throughout the oaru- paigu now opening he shall decide to leave the advocacy of that prinoiple lo Mr. Joseph Martid. There is a paragraph in Mr. Mackintosh's election address relating to this subject which Mr. Wilson nnd other Conservative leaders might study with advantage. The Rossland Record Buys today (Saturday, 21st) iB the last day for registering votes for the next revision. To make sure, everyone should call at the registration office, examine the list, and see with his own eyes that bis name is on. And if not already on, get it on. Every man being a British subject, natural born or naturalised, who has resided six months in the Province, and in tbe Riding for a continuous period of oue month prior to dute of registration, is entitled to vote. Mr. Martin says he was always a Liberal. Let ns see. In 1883 be was a candidate in the Provincial elections in Manitoba. In tbe classification of candidates in The Winnipeg Free Press he was put down as a Liberal, wbeioupon Mr. Martin wrote the editor, Mr. L-uxton, threatening him with a euit for libel if he did not forthwith change the designation from Liberal to Independent. So far from being a Liberal in those days, he considered it libelous to be oalled one. By a law of Japan not more than two hundred laborers a month oan emigruto to Canada, Tbe law is being evaded, as the number of arrivals at Coast poiuta is largely iu excess of the legal limit. It iB supposed that many of them go south, where they aro iu request for work on railways in Paoifio States, but this does not lessen the gravity of tho situation from tbe British Colmbinn standpoint. Tbe Japanese Consul at Vancouver has taken cognisance of the matter, and bns represented to hia Government the necessity of enforoing tho statutory restrictions. He realises tbat thiB Province cannot absorb such numbers of Jnpunese, and has every confidence thnt ns soon as the situation is understood nt Tokio the necessary stepB will be taken to remedy the evil. Commenting on the ciroumstance, The News-Advertiser says: "This is satisfactory intelligence, in that it promises to take a very difficult nnd vexed racial and social question out of oar party politics." Mr. Martiu compares himself with Sir Oliver Mowat, in his appropriate selection of colleagues. For many years he, Buys, Sir Oliver bad a farmer in his Cabinet. Yes, but Sir Oliver's farmer wuh made Minister of Agriculture, the pi .-ii nm in wbich his special knowledge could be of use. Mr. Martin scours the country for a farmer, and gives the portfolio of Agriculture to a pedlar. The comparison would be as apt if made witb a comet.

Later on Mr. Mnitin said he hnd seleoted Mr. Beebe because ho was a representative farmer. Ho wanted a farmer in the Cabinet, und ho wanted one who oould enlighten him as to the needs of the farmers and help him to supply them.
