The men of the first Canadian contingent now serving in South Africa have had the "baptism of fire," and their coolness and discipline has already heen the subject of favorable comment by the London press. The Standard, which cannot he said to be an emotional journal, says: "The" Canadians and Australians had been spoiling for a fight. Now they have had the opportunity, and have greatly distinguished themselves hy their coolness and discipline. From the view point of Imperial unity, the little fight may fairly be described as one of the most gratifying events recorded in the recent history of the British race.' It is more than gratifying, it is an event of great historic interest, being the rirsti occasion on which, an auxiliary force from each of the two leading colonies of Great Britain fought alongside, or in immediate touch with, a section of the regular army. The scene of this incident was near Belmont. An attack of the Boer position was determined upon by Colonel Pitcher. The Canadians and Australians were ordered to share in this dangerous movement, which was carried out with great gallantry and complete success. The London Times says of it: "The mother country will share with the Canadians and Australians in the pride and gratification \ they must feel'."at. the fine qualities displayed by their troops in this dashing little engagement." The officers of the Toronto company who would probably be engaged in the operations, are Captain R. K. Barker, Q.O.R., Lieutenant "vV. R. Marshall, 3th (Hamilton), Lieutenant C. S. "Wilkie, 10th R.G., and Lieutenant Frank D. Lafferty, R. C. A., of tii.-; city. They and their friends and their comrades have our con- ' gratulations. "It -was perfectly justifiable," tne "organ of the Liberal party" says, "to denounce in 1896 the acts of which the consequences becoming inevitable in 1900 ought to he cheerfully accepted." This seems to mean that the despatch of Canadian contingents is a sad consequence of the unjustifiable course of the Tupper government in 1896. With tnis light -we turn again to the language of the campaign pamphlet} circulated by hundreds of thousands in Quebec in 1S9G and used editorially in tne Laurier press at the time. Here are tho charges made against Sir Charles Tupper and his associates "One of the blunders of old Tupper is imperial federation, -which signifies a more intimate alliance between England and her colonies in general, and Canada in particular. "As England is always at war with somebody, wo will have to continually tax ourselves to find tne money and to' draw lots to furnish men. "In return England will create these droll baronets, knights of this and commanders of that. "But the people will remain food for tho cannon. "Why all these armaments it we ���������were not to have war? "And why fight for England? "It is the electors who will have to use these carbines and these cannon "We are considered quite good __ enough to furnish food for caunon. j she calls a halt to thi "The Tuppers, the Angers, the i^feat for' "md ministerial - * ������������������-���������- in ruined , .. _. -Huso.

"Vote for Laurier and his canQi dates if you. wish to see your country enjoy tranquility,' and not exposi yourselves to have to leave one of these fine mornings for distant shores .leaving behind your wives,your children, and all that is dear to you.'* It is not surprising that Mr. Bourassa, Mr.Monet and other members who had the benefit of such campaign literature should object to the des patch of troops to "fight for England." It is; not surprising that the leader*; in whose . name and interest this lit erature was used should fail to appear on the stump against Mr. Bour- assa. Above all it is not surprising \ that in view of the last clause : in the appeal quoted, Sir Wilfrid Laurier should have said what he did ���������'.'���������'; in October, and that Mr. Tarte should have spoken as he did at St. Vincent de Paul.

His letter in reply to the last chain . letter received shows what terrible consequences may follow the successful launching of, one simple ton cent chain letter. The letter which is based on sound mathematical deductions, speaks for itself. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your "chain letter" in aid ot the fund for the; Canadian African contingent.

NOTE AND COMMENT r ��������������������������� . The icusnn why Jos. Martin flopped md why Mr. Higglns said ditto, Dr. AIcKechnie'.s and Ituiph Smith's opinion of them fur doing it and the various oilier, personal matters now occupying the sole and undivided attention of our provincial legislature, are doubtless of supreme importance in the eyes of the gentlemen in question, in a lesser, though still considerable degree they live of interest to their constituents, the people of Vancouver, Rsqiiiiiin.lt and Nanaiuio, nnd they probably afford, while in the process of being threshed out in discussion, one can (hardly ��������� call it debute, vast amusement to the spectators in the gallery nt Victoria, But the rest of tlie province takes but little stock in these questions. It wants to see some business done. The house has now heen in session over a fortnight and so far they have not even got tho reply to the speech from the throne settled. If the Seitilin government cannot get the business of the country taken in hand by the house, what is the use of their clinging to office? As is apparent from it pnraginph clipped from the Trout Lake Topic, which appears in another column, the gerrymander of the Trout Lake raining division in favor of Kaslo lias not been interfered with in any way. The records in the Trout Lake office, which have reference to the district now belonging to Ainsworth are being forwarded to Kaslo, at which point nil business connected with them will in future have to lie transacted. Mr. Kellie has done nothing, or if ho has, the government has taken no notice of him. It seems to be quite useless to attempt to do anything through him. The Herald's advice to the Lardeau people is to place the grievance in the hands of some live member of the opposition and get it brought, up in the house. In that case the question would be thoroughly thrashed out and the ins und outs of it made clear. Beatrice. Considerable activity is manifested by the management of thc Beatrice niine of the unfile district. This property is situated at the npex of a mountain and access was very difficult.

There was a lively time on the little steamer Lirdeaii on Monday last. Thiee Swedes, all very much the worse for benzine, practically terrorized I lie liciat. which was carrying a good I- a I of passmgers. One of them had the engineer covered with a loaded rifle for fully a couple of minutes until he wns overpowered. In ;he struggle one of his compatriots fell into the lake and had to be fished out. Things were so had in the narrow space of the engine room of the little hoat that tlie engineer finally stopped his engines and declared he would not go no further. Ultimately the boat leached Comaplix, where the three were taken in charge and next morning brought back lo Arrowhead.where Geo. Newman. J, P., sat on the case, and fined one innn ������2(1 and the other two 810 apiece. They were let. off pretty easy, but their previous good i haiMcter and the fact that they were badly scared and very repentant, no doubt stood for them considerably. The City Council. The city council held its regular meeting last night. Present, the mayor, Aids.. Kilpatrick, Newman, McKechnie and Abrahainson. '- COMMUNICATIONS were, read from B. Peterson demanding a settlement for land wrongfully taken from him by W. Fleming; S. b\ Carruthers, M.D., with regard to the case of a young man named Ripley; B, Tapping, demanding 1111 itemized account of expenditure on public works to be published' in the local papers next week.
