It Is assumed that a loose statement of theso facts hns led to the circulation of tho report of the death of the emperor. I ADVISED TO SUBSCRIBE.

BRITISH ROADS PROSPEROUS. There has been going tho rounds of the press an article, originating with an American journal, In which it is Bet forth that while the United States railways are progressing nnd piling up profits, those of Groat Britain are on the verge of hopeless Insolvency and that nothing but the bankruptcy court and tho appointment of a receiver can save them from irrevocable wreck and loss. Theso stories nppenr from time to time, tho object of the journals producing them being to run down Great Britain and her industries, though, except it h'a that the indulging in an exhibition of Anglophobia Is Itself gratifying, It Is difficult to comprehend whnt object they hare in view. How little foundation there is for such stories Is found on looking up British statistics, which show that tho total Invested in 1900 In British railways amounted to £1.176,- 001,800, an Increase of £23,784,389 over 1899. The gross receipts were £104,- 801,858, and tho working expenses £04,- 743.523. Those figures do not denote impending bankruptcy hy any means. It Is quite possible there may be opportunities for Improvement In a number of ways; British ways are not perfect; but It becomes tiresome to rend these constant American boastings and the conduct of certain Canadian journals taking their cub from the United States In belittling everything British is most reprehensible. EDITORIAL NOTES. Tho Toronto Globe thus cogitates on tho attitude of the ijongervatlves towards tho present tariff policy; "It Is contended (1) thnt tho liberals stole the conservative tariff policy, and the prosperity of the country is due to that fact; (2) that tho country Is being flooded with Amorlcan manufactures, and that this is tho fault of the present tariff—the policy stolen from the con- servalves. It is difficult to keep track of the tory nrguments." And equally difficult to comprehend them when they nre kept track of. The C. P. R. hotel at Banff whon it is completed next year, will accommodate 300 to 400 guests. The hotel Vancouver Ib having 150 rooms added, and when this addition is completed, the old bouse will be tin n down and rebuilt on tho lines of the new nddition. Eventually the houso will accommodate from 400 to 500 guests. Th'e trnfllc returns of the Canndian Northern railway for the first week in September nro given ns (39,900, as against J21.000 for the corresponding period of tho previous year. There was an ineronse of the mileage In operation this yenr by something ovor 400 miles. D. W. Hlgg.lns, ex-speaker of the provincial legislature, has a letter In the Colonist in which ho as a conservative repudiates tho platform recently adopted by tho party at Revelstoke, Ho says thoro are several planks in tho platform by which ho refuses to bo bound, but tbe plank which comcB In for tho most attention from him Is thnt which declares for party lines. He says there Is no warrant for the recognition of federal party lines in provincial politics. Neither of the two old-line parties appear to be running to suit D. W. at the present time, and he Is carrying on a lively correspondence with Dr. Mllno respecting the mistakes which he alleges have been made by the leaders of the liberal party in the house of commons. "CANADA POR CANADIANS." Let us nil go In for a policy of Canada for the Canadians. Why not? Who will oppose tt? Not tho conservative, not the liberal, not the uro- tectionist, not the free trader, nor the tariff-for-revenue man. Nobody need keep his seat when the time comes to shout "Canada for the Canadians." We all believe In It, After we have shouted ourselves hoarse we can, of course, break up Into groups and wrangle as to what was implied in the shouting. Assume that Canada is for the Canadians, but what Canadians? Does the shouting mean that the interests of ull Canadians are to be considered, or, does it mean that the business interests of 10 per cent of our people shall he built up and that the rest of the people may go hang? It is well to remember what, we suspect, is in some assemblages forgotten, that the producers of natural products In Cannda are Canadians just as truly as aro those engaged in manufacturing. The consumer Ib a Canadian as well as the producer—and he numbers 90 to the producers' 10. That policy will best serve Canadians which does the most good to the greatest number.—Toronto Daily Star. BIG SALMON HATCHERY. American Canners Will Keep up Their Supply of Fish. New Westminster, Sept. 20.—John Crawford, fisheries superintendent for the state of Washington, was In town today, and stated that he had agreed upon a site for a large fish hatchery which the canneries of the neighboring state propose to erect in this province. Hatcheries on the Columbia river do not npparently help the trapmen, and some time ago the state of Washington made a proposition to the provincial government for permission to erect salmon hatcheries in British Columbia, but tho proposition meeting with opposition from local canners and fishermen permission was refused. Now the canners propose another way. These Americans will organize a joint stock compnny under the laws of British Columbia, and erect a hatchery as a business proposition. The site selected for the hatchery Is on Pool creek, a tributary of Lillooet river, which flows into Harrison lake near its head. The hatchery would be about 60 miles from Fort Douglas and from near here the principal supply of salmon ova would be secured. It is stated that the new hatchery will havo a capacity of 100,000,000 young salmon per annum. The government hatchery at Bon Accord has £ capacity of but 10,- 000,000 yearly. RIOT IN HUNGARY. Vienna, Sept. 20— Tho Neues Weiner Journal, announces today as tho result of a revolt of peasants In tho district of Badadeny, Hungary, tho military wore called out to suppress tho disorder and fired a volley, killing four persons and wounding others. Apoplexy caused more deaths in New York City in igoi than were occasioned by Smallpox, Typhoid Fever, Malarial Fever, and Scarlet Fever combined.
