FRIDAY, JAN. 31, 1902 The business office of The Evening Sua is located at present in Columbia, where all correspondence with it, and exchanges should be addressed. The population of the Dominion of Canada increased only 500,000 in tea years. This is about the rate of natural increase, combined with tbe Chineie and Japanese immigration. Tbe government of tbe Dominion has no cause for pride over this showing. Moreover, no greater ratio of increase in tbe future may be looked for so long as the Canadian Pacific boldt tbe reins of government and plays the dog in the manger. Tbe overruling baud of that corporation is shown in tbe fight against the Great Northern. What is true of the Dominion and the province, is true in a smaller sense of Grand Forks and Columbia. The dog in tbe manner in this city is the Republic & Gr nd Forks railway combination, the policy ot which is controlled by the great Canadian oinch— tbe threat dog in the manger that will, prevent all development except such us will immediately pour profit into its coffers and hold the populace subject to its exactions pest house, and the faithful bride insisted on remaining at his side. When the quarantine was about to be raised in bis case, she came down with tbe same dread disease, and be remains at ber bedside to console and do deeds of kindness. There was a hot time in the U. S.! senate Thursday over Philippine mat ters. The democrats, whose numeri- j ica. quantity in congress is so small I the republicans look upon them more j or less as interlopers in national at'-1 fairs, are continually crowding the j latter to name and define their island policy and who, lilte our dear premier, do not know what the policy is until they bear the voice of the great trade and protection generals proclaiming it. The senators bandied the lie and numerons other epithencal terms of cowboydom indiscriminately. Tillman of South Carolina was there with his pitchfork, and though possessing but one eye, be sees all that is going on in the halls of government, and is a knocker from Knockerville. The opposition of the U. S. navy ring to Admiral Schley is having ihe effect to make that brave soldier the people's hero. That the maligned admiral has the highest esteem of tbe masses is evidenced in eve.y direction. Among the many unmistakable proofs of this is the action of tbe Baltimore connty taxpayers' convention, which placed a ban on any text book that does nol give Rear Admiral Schley credit for Ihe naval victory at Satili— argo.

MacLeod, principal of the Columbia school, has received his commission from Ottawa, as ub-cus- toai's collector at the U. P. R. station, and will take possession of the office tomorrow. While we commiserate with Mr. Hayward, who to us appears to be a genial and courteous gentle man, for the loss to him of his position, we congratulate Mr MacLeod upon his succession to the same, and believe him competent to fill it to the full satisfaction of the government. B. A. McMordie, late principal of the Grand Forks school, has been accepted as a substitute for Mr. MacLeod at the Columbia school until the next meeting of the Board of school trustees on Wednesday, the 12th of February. A few days ago the Grauby company received three immense coils of wire rope, weighing 5,000 pounds, it being shipped lrom England through Robert Ward & Co., of Vancouver, B. C. Tbe first cost in England was about $300, the freight and duty on which amounting to $230, showing tariff and railways to be expensive luxuries. Evidently the Great Northern intends to give the Hot Air line a return dose of injunction medicine. In the injunction cases on trial in Republic between the Great Northern and the lojal road, the former is represented by four attorneys, John L. Snapp, Thomas A. Benton, and W. F. Millip- en, of St. Paul, and W. C. Brown, of Republic. Mr. John Newby, brother of James and Thomas Newby of Columbia, arrived here from Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he has been conducting a dairy for many years. He was accompanied by a nephew, who came nut from England last Spring, and who intends remaining here.
