AGE OF HOPE. Globe: Those whe believe in tha cycle theory of history will find much to support their position in a comparison of the present time with that period which B. 0. Fowler calls the "century of Sir Thomas Moore." Four hundred years ago Europe was awakening from a thousand years of sleep. The shadow of the dark ages had long hung like a pall, quenching social, intellectual aud religious progress. The feudal system had fallen into anarchy; Christianity had become corrupt almost beyond belief; learning had degenerated into lifeless ^hatter of the school men; the masses groaned beneath pilage and oppression. The times indeed were out of Joint. In 1453 Constantinople fell and the Greek learning so long confined to the east sought a. refuge under the -sunny skies of Italy. With the renaissance, learning and art became the chief interests of life. As Prof. Villari acutely points out men would endure unheard of hardships and dangers and spend their time, their money and even their lives to acquire some curious and rare manuscript, while no one seemed willing to enter life or die for liberty and righteousness. But deep under this mask of sensuality, of learning without wisdom, of "art without righteousness, ot prosperity without liberty, of religion without faith, great living forces were at work. A noble discontent, which is the rarest possession of the human ' mind, had begun to show itself. Sav- onaroia, the Dominican monk, became the prophet of tho ,new time on its moral, intellectual and political side; while Columbus by thc discovery of America opened up the possibility for material and social advancement which even yet is barely beginning to be realized. With the dawn of the new time there appeared a great galaxy ot immortal names, Luther, Calvin, John Knox, Zwingli, Melanethon, - Colet, Cranmer, in the realm of religion; Michael Angelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Correggiao and Raphael in the realm of art. The new spirit as sumed moral and religious forms among the northern people, artistic forms among the warmer blooded southerners; while visions of material and political aggrandizement tempted the Spanish and Portuguese to feats of daring unparalleled iu the realm of discovery and war. Thus the world entered, afler long silence and darkness upon its greatest era. Between the ruling ideas of that time* and those of the present there is a distinct parallel. Then, as now, men had dazzling visions of vast wealth; then intellectual activity was enormous as it is now; then political development aud advance increasingly occupied the attention of the people, while the masses began to see dimly from afar the dawn of liberty. At the base of all religious thinking at that time was a desire to bring men nearer to God; and while the desire of the present Christianity is perhaps expressed in a desire to bring men near to each other, it is only the opposite side of the same thing. Then, as now, possibilities, opportunities, responsibilities almost too great for comprehension, rested heavily upon An Australian signing himself Arthur Maquarie sends the London Times some spirited stanzas called "A Fam'ly Matter," which neatly put the Australian view of the present situation. The first stanza runs thus: "Como my hearties���������work will stand��������� Here's yer Mother calling; "Wants us all to lend a hand, And go out Uncle-Pauling. Catch yer nags and saddle slick! Quick to join the banners! Folks that treat the fam'ly thick Must bo taught their manners.'5 The other stanzas each end with the refrain "Here's yer Mother calling," and the last ends with the appeal: '���������Come on, chaps, and be the first! Here's yer Mother calling." It is to the honor and credit of Australia that her people promptly heard tho Mother Country's call and her public men promptly responded; and it is no less to- the dishonor and discredit of Canada that whilo her people heard tho call wilh patriotic ears her statesmen (?) hung back opposed and at tho last moment gave an unwilling and ungracious consent which was only relieved by Sir Wilfrid Laurier's timely eloquence at thc send-off to the troops in Quebec. the list as a military power, but due allowance must be made for the excellence of the army, lhc superiority of the spirit and personnel and lhe fact thai Anglo-Saxons have always bold their own against great O'lds. A war tor the integrity of tho British empire would call an army into existence in Great Britain which woulci leave no doubt as to her strength, for, in a way, England, as the United States, depends upon her people in. lime o������ need and tries not to disturb them in times ot peace. Russia, that great, ��������� mysterious and isolated country to the north, is the unknown factor in the future L:���������' ..y of the world. With known possiliili- lies of an army of 3,500,000 men already accustomed to the use of inns, and a population of 130,000,000 millions, which is rapidly increasing, to draw upon, there is no limit to the magnaton in prophesying the par'. Russia may play in the future man making. Tlio peace conference demonstrated the fact tliat war was still part ot government. FASHIONABLE among appre- Says the London Times: "National policy is no longer arranged by diplomatists, or even determined by parliament. It is discussed in the press and settled by public opinion,to every breath of which every one of these gentlemen who sit in parliament is ircinulously sensitive." THE BRITISH ARMY. Thc calling out by thc British oi ihe military reserves and militia has lent a gravitv to the situation whicli c.xn the people of England have fai.ed heretofore to realize. It bas :a- *.e- their right to be called the -olack terror.'' In plain words the ca.nn_ out of the entire British force is looked upon as a warning or a blurt loi the benefit ot European countries. As the" present question seems to be one of land forces it ^ interesting to note the military strength in England as compared with other countries leaving out of consideration entirely nei S-iat naval power. Great Britain has ! regular army of -244,456 men, but 73,162 of these are in India and a portion of tbe remaining force is in tne colonies. Part of this Indian force is available in South Africa aiu1 b.,000 troops have already been starte for Delagoa-bay. It'would be a Ube al estimate to allow to the empire a re- >S������ of 200,000 available lor Foreign war- These troops woulci not bo available unless there were ot.inre to take their places in the home sai- n=n^s for 50.000 soldiers are kept Anderson's acquittal on tho charge of robbing the Molsons bank in Winnipeg is not much of a surprise when it is considered that there was very little credible evidence to connect him with the crime. Davis, the alleged detective, was shown during the trial lo be anything but a ptire-souletl exponent of the art, and the accused young man certainly bore himeslf throughout as an innocent young man. He told a straight story on the stand and said Davis' statements were lies and Davis a liar. To the outside public the great Molsons bank robbery is as much a mystery as ever.

Out- own good'land is not without discerning sympathy with the new ideals, the new hopes and the new duties. In common with all others we share the 'dangers ot the hour. Great wrongs 'are waiting to be righted, great obstacles to be removed from the path of progress, great areas in the realm of intellect and morals to'be set free, great problems relating to the economic and political well being of the masses to be solved. The introduction of Canada into the realm of imperialism is tho forerunner of that universal work which, in common with all other progressive peoples, we must do. This is no time for the bickerings and frivolous trivialties of partisan strife. This is the hour for statesmanship, for prophetism, for vision.

In her grief over the crushing blow administered by the Boers in the capture of two regiments and a battery. Great Britain must mingle sentiment of admiration for the manliness of this sentence and the bravery behind this sentiment in General Sir George White's message announcing the disaster. "I formed a plan in the carrying out of which the disaster occurred. and I am alone responsible for the plan. Thero 16 no blame whatever to the troops, as the position was untenable." a It is of such stuff as this that great commanders are made. It is human to err, but akin to divine to so frankly acknowledge error in the face of so grave a misfortune. And however ones's sympathies may tend in this regrettable sanguinary contention between Briton and Boer, none will withhold from Genoral White that admiration due a sole acknowledgment of sole the regulars there arc S.3,000 in tne eseet-veS available for foreign service -md a mlitarv force of Ii2,u00. u"; would Sve Great Britain an anny of ������5,000 men to use in a war, and tbei".

London, Nov. fl.���������To the eyes or mii.i.ary experts the darkest page of tne war is now neing written, but even that is illuminated with bright passages such as General While's victorious sorties. If lie can only keep the' British flag flying from Ladysmith until lhe is relieved, the campaign will turn a fresh page, and with the advance of General Buller's force the British public is promised more cheerful reading. This feeling of relief is inspired'by ��������� the*, recent good tidings nevertheless it is .tinged with a certain alloy of anxiety, lest General White ..should again mako Some Fatal Miscalculation involving a .repetition of .the Nicholson's Nek disaster, iner Majesty does not share this 'anxiety and .is apparently sanguine of his ability to pul! ��������� through. It is assarted that- she has written to Lady White expressing sympathy .with her husuand iu his trials and'the' "difficulties he is experiencing and assuring Lady White of her own undiminished confidence in his generalship. The purport (of this letter has been cabled to Genera! While by-.theMarquis of Lanstlowne. *\ Reinforcements for Durban A message announces the arrival at Estcourt and Pietermaritzburg within the last few days of -j-einforcenients from Durban and that 3500 troops are assembled ready for . entering Colenso when the opportunity arrives. This latter despatch throws light on the former, and, the force which left Kstcourt on Monday- last has dottbt- -less.'reoccupied Colenso and .'is'pos- " sihly-now advancing "Cautiously Toward--Ladysmith..' General While's sortie on Friday almost to the bank of the Ugela river was encouraging lo its commander in the hope of joining hands'with him. General Joubert by latest advices, it would appear, drew in his horns after Friday's engagement and has since withdrawn' the southern Boer contingent, leaving only .outposts, on the line from Ladysmith , to '-.Colenso. " The 'Bo'ers who'occupied Colenso about the middle'of last week haye retired with- -out damaging'the Bulwer bridge over the Ugela river, or the railway as far nortli as the village ot Nelthorpe, seven miles south of Ladysmith. Evidently they, nurse the "hope of eventually using both in a descent upon Pietermaritzburg. Meanwhile the British are also able to use both as they already have done in running up an armored train, whicli may at the present moment be covering the advance position of the Estcourt force. j Defensive Works Strengthened. At Estcourt ' and Pietermaritzburg the defensive works have been greatly strentghened within the last few days. They are now believed to be capable of holding their own against any Boer force General Joubert at the present juncture would risk . sending. None of the troop ships-have arrived. One, it is predicted,-might.reach Cape Town on Monday at the earliest, lt is as yet unannounced and even when it ��������� does arrive there it might have three days steaming to reach Durban, in Natal. As many as six ���������traaspor-ts__witli_-l,500-troops..are. ex: Tugela river at Colenso is at the mercy of the Boers. The Colenso biidge is To miles on the (Durban side of Ladysmith. Ladysmith' is US miles from Durban, and it can readily be seen that the destruction of the bridge and the occupation of Colenso woultl "bo enormously advantageous to Joubert's force. ' The British authorities in Natal have probably realized /the strategic importance of the Tugela bridge. There is no indication that1 the Boers will be able to lake the position except in open fight, and an attempt to rush a strong position defended by artillery and an adequate force * will ���������be a radical departure from Boer tactics. DUTCHMEN BLAMED. LIGHT OM THE SITUATION FROM A FORMER TRANSVAAL OFFICIAL. the BINDER TWINE "PROFIT A Dividend of One Hundred Per Cent Declared. Brantford, Nov. 8.���������The Farmers' Binder Twine Co., Limited, of this city, today declared a dividend of 100 per cent on the entire paid up capital stock for the year 1899. Last yeai the same company declared a dividend of CO per cent. The whole plant is kept up to the highest standard, and every reasonable allowance made for wear and tear. The announcement created something of a sensation in financial circles. (. o ANNA THE KISSER pectcd to be in Cape Town harbor by this time, but the war office last evening issued a, statement to the effect that ��������� ��������� The Only Arrivals- at Cape Town"'were the Sumatra from Durban with the wounded, the Southern Cross from Gibraltar, and *the collier Wenvoc. Ot course it is possible that despatch boats may have been sent to meet the troopships vvith instructions to"* proceed direct to Durban. In that event the war office statement that not onc has arrived at Cape Town would be accurate, oven though several should be half way hetween Cape Town and Durban. Brighter at Mafeking. The situation looks brighter at Mafeking, where the Boers are apparently disheartened at the unexpected resistance. A large body of their force has been despatched to th2 south to'assist in the Investment pf Kimberley, around which the coi-d is drawing tighter, evidently th? Boers intend to make a big effort.to capture Kimberley and their ' arch " enemy, Cecil Rhodes. London, Nov. 10.���������The scanty and conflicting news from the seat of war and the fact that General White has not yet said a word about tlie alleged lighting around Ladysmith, is again producing a feeling of uneasiness, lt may be that While has sent the news and that lSullev litis thoght best to keep it to himself. Indeed this version is beginning to be credited as it is believed that the news of heavy lighting brought by the Kaffirs in such circumstantial detail cannot. be ' wholly groundless. It cannot be long before a change occurs. Buller's forces will soon an ive at Durban and will probably begin to advance to the relief of Ladymith about the loth. Cape Colony Invasion Abandoned The Boers, if they ever entertained the idea of a real invasion of Cape Colony have probably now abandoned it, and will devote their whole energies to reducing Ladysmith. They have only a week in which to do this and the fact that tney are rather inactive "indicates something Iwhich they feel sure will justify their delay. The latest . Escourt despatches seem to hint that the garrison are aboi-t to retire further' southwards. feiege Train for the War Orders have been' leceived. at Woolwich and Dcvonport for the mobilization' of a siege train which is supposed to be intended for the,purpose ol sheiang Pretoria.

Ladysmith Safe ' : The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that j Ladysmith is safe for some time to come.

AMNESTY IN DREYFUS CASE Hampshire Savings Bank by'embPz^ zling>$500,000 was sentenced to tne' state prison for not more than 12 nor less than nine years. JOHN BULL AND JONATHAN National Pro'visioner; Let us give a few hints which, if carefully observed, may save ievtiat'dollars in .the-future- - .In.skinning beef hides and" calf skins keep thc "back of the knife close to the hide, and draw it tightly with the left hand. This is a simple rule, but by following it the liability to cut or score is considerably-lessened.' On the fore leg .the knife should" go down to the armpit, so called, and then forward to the point of the brisket.- On the hind legs the cut should be made from the hoof of one, down the iack of the leg, semieircularly across Trom one to the other, and on to the hoof. The throat should never bo cut cross wise, and the horns and tail should always be removed. " ' . The operation of salting is equally important. To salt hides thoroughly, a water bucket full of salt should be used to every CO-pound hide, the quantity for larger and,smaller hides being in proportion. After this, they should be rubbed and rolled up. Independent of cuts and sores, hides which are not taken off in the manner specified are classed as No.2'_,and if dried on fences or exposed to the sun or weather are only, flt for glue making. A butcher's skinning knife should always be used, and no employees should be permitted to take off hides without-one, as the loss from one hole in -a hide would buy- several knives. These few rules are simple enough and their adoption means a deal to the country slaughterer. a o London, Nov. 9.���������The Morning Post publishes the ..following from Washington.

Seven years' continuous residence in the Transvaal, mostly in Johannesburg and Pretoria, during tvvo ot which 1 occupied the position of chief government inspector of mines, receiving a salary ot XI200 a, year, may be sufficient excuse lor an expression of opinion as. to the cause which I believe to be the root ot the present unfortunate position o������ affairs.

I want to make this distinction as to the (interpretation of what a -���������Hollander" is as opposed to the "Bo.er" farmer element and the"Afrikander," who is colonial born ,and descended from ,the Dutch, as the conspiracy is amongst uiese "Hollanders" who in order to keep m othce keep out the "Afrikander," whilst working in with a tew intelligent -and cunning "Boers" such as President Kruger, with a salary of ������7000 a year. Of late years a few Afrikanders have also been admitted into 'the charmed circle of government conspirators, because had they beeu left out they would have made it too hot for the rest, such as Mr.Esselen. Our present disagreement is therefore not witli the poor unsophisticated Boer tanner but- with the intelligent Hollander, official monkey, who uses him as a catspaw to take the chestnuts, in the shape of magnificent salaries and pickings from dynamite and other concessions out of the Uit- lander fire.* ��������� - ,.. ��������� Secret Service Money ��������� " - ' An enormous" sum of {money, ^accounted ' tor to tlie poor Boer 'under the head ot "Secret Service Fund" vanishes annually out of the treasury- being paid out largely lot- subsidizing the press���������not ouly that which circulates amongst tho Dutch-speaking races all over"South Africa, but also that of other nationalities, whose sentiments, -it is-thought, may \be usefully worked up against tlie grasping" Britlsher.such as, Germany or the United States.' The fund is also employed in, sending cunning agents amongst the Boer farmers, who "just drop in* for.a'cuat," to,poison their minds against the haled Britisher, and make the poor tellow believe that it he had not his rillo ready, he might soon find hinjself nicked out of his homestead and left with a starving family, ;his more intelligent Uitland- er brother not only having seized the go id mines but is now preparing, to seize everything else, if -.once enfranchised. President' Kruger, who can make these poor iBoer farmers do almost anything he desires, 'and, can, indeed, by threatening" to resign, also gel his whole'parliament to follow him, always keeps) up tuis bitter feeliug o������ hostility ^gainst the -Uitlander, especially when die harangues them whilst stumping the country on his annual presidential tours. On several occasions .I have "stood in .the crowd amongst the.Boer farmers and heard how they, intended to go for ,the "Old Man, but on the, president's arriving all their wrath ' soon vanished into-^thin-^airr^being-^pacified���������by**-=a= present of a handful of tobacco and kind inquiries as to the family and farm; , ' ' This handful ot Hollanders thus virtually controls the whole expenditure of-the State, .amounting in 1897 to over four ^millions sterling, and so legislates that neither the peoplc.nor indeed the high, courts ��������� of justice, shall in any way interfere. Nobody more clearly realizes than "they 'do that just as soon as any Intelligent set " of another nation, such as the Uitlandcrs igct into' this ��������� charmed circle, their gang - of- national blood-suckers, who'live on high bal- aries, amounting in 1897 to nearly a quarter of the expenditure of the country, corruption and commission, etc., on^ monopolies granted by the government to the detriment of the inining industry, will have to go. Hollanders Desperate - Unlike the English, the '.Hollander, after being naturalized, which he mus't be in order to hold a government appointment, can never regain his position as a Hollander "on ji-eturning to his native land. His" position unless he uplioids the Boer government, Under, these circumstances; can it be wondered at, seeing that bis ability to speak Dutch is his only' "capital," that not, only will he die hard and fighting, or more properly speaking, let the Boer farmer do it for him, but will use every cunning means in his power to keep out the Uitlander and retain his "capital" oflanguage. In what other way can one understand such legislation - as has. been passed by the Boer legislature or VoiKsraad during recent years? Why does Mr.Mansfleld, a Hollander, holding the portfolio of minister of education, insist 'that th. Dutch language shall be' taught even iu English Uitlander schools? Why was it necessary for me, as inspector of mines, to send* all my notices to English- speaking mine managers in Dutch, who wero severely fined if they did not understand it? Why was it proposed to grant pensions to poor Boers if not as a sop to keep them from inquiring what was done with the rest of the funds? Why do Paul Kruger and Dr.Leyds oppr"*o the cancellation of the dyna mite monopoly, which brings in hardly any revenue to the State, whilst it provides a princely fortune lo a German not living hi the country, if it docs not jnean that these worthies have a "com." to divide? Why do the railways go out ot their proper line of country in order to pass through lands ��������� belonging lo Kruger and his little gang? .These are all facts which can be proved, and I could easily enlarge on them from my own slock. Unfortunately the enfranchised Boers believe all the false stories, and now that their fiery young sous march forth to meet the enemy with the oattlecry of freedom and independence, so appealing to the British ear, little imagining that the so-called enemy only desires to give them the samo vmagnincent independence, honest and sell-respecting govern- ment.which Canada and Australia enjoy today, and to throw out this gang of conspirators who are sucking the life's blood ot "Onslaiid'" the dear Transvaal. The Golbe is so tickled to hear that in Manitoba they are calling Hon. Clliford Sitton "The Apostle of Western Progress" that it has no ear for the other terms ot endearments which are applied to the Ablest Man in Canada.

The 1IER.M.U would like once ngain loa.sk the Gold Commissioner what he is going to do about that Illecillewaet bridge business. It looks very much as if the old route was going to bu the only one available for several months lo come. The new bridge is being built, it is true, nnd Contractoi Hyatt is under contract to hand it over at, the end of this month. But what then ? There is no rond being nmdi; by which Lhu settlers can get nl it aiul no possibility ut this lute stage nf the season of its being built till next. May or June. Till then the only wiy the 18 or 20 settlers across tin Illecillewaet will have of getting te town is aci oss tlie old bridge, which some of these settlers have replaced in position and partly rebuilt at their own cost. They ask two hundred dollars for their services, on payment of which they will throw the bridge npen to lhe public. Otherwise they threaten to take np the planking, which they furnished themselves for the covering of the bridge and keep it up except when using it themselves. All this trouble nnd annoyance can be prevented by the pay muni, to the settlers who put up the old bridge again of the very reasonable and moderate sum of two hundred dollars. Again the Hl-liAI.o'ask- Mr. Coursier what he is going to do nbout it. with the Canadian contingent and intends to give the most reliable and graphic uccounts of the conduct of the Royal Canadian Regiment in this his1 toi-icul campaign. ii THE No Hiaisteh, No Fuss, Just Rusiskss, That's All. The strong resolution in favor of governmental ownership of railways in Canada passed at last week's meeting of the Trades and Lnhor Assembly merilK a passing nolo, as a sign of the limes. There can hu very little doubt lhat popular opinion in this place is strongly in" favor of the system of government ownership of trar.s-pnrta- tinn of all kinds, as" proposed by the resolution. And this place is only one of scores of others in B.C, like it. in this particular. If this province possessed complete scir-goverimient a measure embodying some such scheme ns laid down-in the resolution would by this time liave become law with tlie full and enthusiastic approval of the electors. It is a plank in the piovinc-ial platform of both the political parties in the province nnd nothing but the inherent difficulties peculiar to our situation as a province of the Dominion prevent its materializing into mi accomplished fact, as it hns already done in New Zealand, Cape Colony, Natal and the various colonies wliich ninke up Australia. But the Trades and Labor Assembly guaged the situation quite correctly .when tliey decided lo address their resolution to the Dominion and not the Provincial house. It is idle to talk about British Columbia adopting this policy except in conjunction with the REVELSTOKE CURLING CLUB A Joint Stock Company Formed to Put Up a Building" In response to nn urgent circular sent, out by Mr, II. A. Brown on Monday iifteiiioiiii falling a meeting for llie purpose of orgnni/.ing a curling -���������lull, and to devise ways and menus to build a rink for curling, the following <_ iilleiiien attended the meeting nt i'MQ o'clock Monday evening in the _imple mom of the Union hotel: Messrs A.

Tho proposed rink would be 140x40 feet and the cost would be about $1500 including the purchase of the lots. Moved by I-I. A. Brown, seconded hy*\V. M.
