WESTERN DEFENGE THE HERALD'S VIEWS ON THE MOUNTED POLICE BROUGHT BEFORE PARLIAMENT And Approved by the Minister COST OF THE CONTINGENTS Th- discussion'on tho resolution to porrido money to pay Hie cost of the C_B_diaii contingent- occupied nearly two days of the time of parlia- jaent last week. Tho nuance minis- t-c'6 resolutloa asks for two million dollars, of which sjSoO.OOO' waa aitUior- iTriL by the orders ir_ council, pro- yfdljig for the despatch of the two ������m.-___enis, and 51,150.000 is to pro- vHVa for tho further outlay in., con- mujdon wi-h Canadian troops iu the Transvaal. Mr. Fielding said he hoped Uiat tho resolution would bo adapted unanimously. Sir Charles Tupper fully cudorsed ail that thc government proposed to do, and was rather compliineatary to tho .premier. He commended the wisdom shown by Sir Wilfrid . iu abandoning tho .viqw-s which he took, so strongly ' i__jt October when the premier declared that Canadian troops should never _a used for any other purpose than t_.e defence of Canada- Sir Charles ' said that the government should not only send the troops hut should pay them. Tho premier and Mr. Tarto had ar._iac_.-_ this view but it was pleasant to see that they had so far come round as to a__re_ to pay tha men while in Africa tho dif������er- _nce between the imperial and Canadian scale. The leader of lihe opposition ."would have gone farther and relieved the home government of all charges in connexion with the Canadians. But when ho thought of tho position taken by the premier four months ago,' and noticed what had been accomplished since, he was disposed to be grateful for what had bean secured. After Mr. Bourassa and Mr. Monet had made speeches in favor of the Boers,'Mr. Davin replied ably to -h. ,axguments of both, gentlemen, but excused their conduct on the ground thai tbey were simply following the course laid down by tha premier Himself. Sir Wilfrid had only once in his career as prime minister expressed a positive opinion. That was when ha took strong and positive ground against sending a contingent to Africa. A. few days later he treated his opinion, with the contempt it deserved, but it is not surprising that one of his moro independent followers should prefer the Laurier of October 4"_ to the Laurier of October 14th. ���������i___k__a^__tobe-rt_on--reminded .___y___P__ __ mier-that he h;_d pronounced Canada _ nation and asked him why he did sot propose that Canada should pay her -own troops like a nation. He admiU-d that a century ago some nations had hired out their army for other countries to pay, but he thought mat Canadians were not Hessians. . "When the day of reckoning comes," ha said, "and it will come soon if mis goTernment is alive to see it, ��������� Canada should ask for the vouchers and .give Britain a check for every dollar spent by the mother country on the Canadian troops." It miiBt grievo Hewitt Bostock, M. P., to loam that his own private press cannot yelp with tho picture-quo vigor ot tho British Columbia ���������journal -which, denounces llou. Jos. Martin as a "purple nosed prairie dog." Frank Oliver, M.P., In tho Edmonton Bulletin, describing Hon. Goo. B. Foster's Bpeech in tho South African contingent debate said: .'Only in his peroration did ho riso to tho height wor thy of himself and of the occasolon when ho described tho depth of interest of tho individual parts of thc empire in the success and greatness of -he empire as a whole. What ho said on this point was right and was well said, and deserved tho three cheers with which it was greeted by hja party friends in tho house. ilti might just as well have boen cheered by his opponents, as it contained no reflection upon them and voiced their senVtmentn aa well.'" ,- TAW ON S3I.AT12S O me U'l At week, when surrounded by MR. OAVIN'S POLICE PENSION BILL Mr. _D-*.v*in _ bill to amend the law relating to pensions in the North West Mounted Police is nothing loss than an attempt to fulfill the prom- i<-_5 made to the members of the force prior to the general elections of 1836. At that time nothing was said to he good 'enough for tho members of the force, and politicians of ..both creeds who thought it well to stand in with the police vied with each other in their desire to better the condition of the men. Mr. Davin, it must in all fairness be. admitted has been faithful to his ante election promises. He has more than once called the attention of the government to the question of amending the police pension act, and having failed in getting the government to do anything, has himself brought in a bill dealing with the matter. Such is the peculiar parliamentary methods of Canada under the present regime, it is doubtful whether Mr. Davin's bill' will ever become law, if for no other reason than that the government could not claim the credit of having brought about any benefits which may accrue from it. The proposals* contained in tbe bill are, however, eminently fair and reasonable. Mr. Davin proposes to repeal thc act of 1S98 which was p&saeii with a great flourish of trumpets but which on examination was found to ho practically_ useless, and to fall back on the old act of 1830, which he proposes to amend in such a way as to meet the reasonable requirements of the police force. Under the new act, should the bill become law, section- 3 and -1 of the act of 1SS9 are repaaled so as to give to men of twenty year.*;' s=rv_ce the advantages at present conferred on men of twenty-five years' service. A man of tea years service will be'tremendous force. .in' paw went skulin' ye-le'day ���������1 bet li you bin urlong 'at yu'd ii-laft'd 'til yu'd u-sl.oulc clean th'o', paw iL-skiitin'���������lie Wl* me when wc got to th' crick He'd cut sum fancy capers for me if ih' ice wuz thick; Paw se_ 'at when he wuz a boy they wunri'i unny wun Cu*d s-iite as last er cut wun lm t til dlilPt. wot he dun.

The house resumed adjourned debate on the proponed motion of Mr. DiLvln: That in the opinion of this house it' i.i the duty of tho _juvernh_e.it to al once niako provision for the defence ot Manitoba and the North "West Territories, and that more particularly provision should be made whereby rlflo associations, duly formed, shall be provided with military Instruction, as well as with rifles and ammunition, Mr. N. -\ Davin (Weal Asslnlbola): Tho minister of militia (Mr. Borden) knows that I made some suggestion to him In regard lo the contingent-, and lie know., well that I made thorn with the solo doslre to further hU work. This matter that I am bringing lK-ore tho house lu of too much importance to admit of thinking of it in connection with any other end or aim than the Interests ot the North West Territories. "We are at the present tltno in a position In the North West Territories in which we need defence from within, and defence, It may be against the attacks from without. WO havo a large Indian population and a large population of half- breeds, and I may say that owing to the fact that the commission did not complete its work, there Is a great deal of discontent amongst them. Now, the Mounted Police practically no longer exists. Tlio prime minister: Oh, no*. It docs exist. Mr. Davin: I wish to read an article which appeared in The Calgary Herald, which is published over 000 miles west of where I live. Calgary Is practically the capital of Southern Alberta, if not of all Alberta. This is what thai paper says: "The announcement that volunteers for Strathcona's Horse will be accepted from the oflicers and men ot the North West Mounted Police force will be received with a good deal of surprise and disgust by lhe people of the Territories." Last* night, when I "referred to this, I guarded myself from endorsing that view. I read this for the purpose of showing that there is a sense of alarm in the Territories. I do not see how anything better could be done than lo take officers from the Mounted Police, because it would be much easier lo get others to do the work of these gentlemen in the Territories than to gel men of the same ability to do tho work that has to be done in South Africa. This article goes on: "The police force, when it was 1,000 strong, was no stronger than waa necessary, and since that time it has been systematically reduced, while the* population has materially in- charactor will disappear. What I suggest is, that as far west as Swift Current corps of mounted rifles without horses should be formed. Westt of there each man might bo required without Inconvenience to have his own horse. Thnt Is to say, let thorn be drilled as mounted riflemen. Thoy can easily get the loan of horses for the time being. Let them be taught to ride, as well aa drill; let them, at ltcgina or uny other point, pusb an examination as export horsemen at the hands of the riding master; and let them also pass an. examination in drill at the hands of the drill sergeant. In that way you will have man fights on foot; but you have got because .after all, the mounted riflemen flghtH on foot; but you have got rid of what would be a bar to your scheme, by requiring each man tot BUpply his horse at first. Some of them would do it. For instance, at 1-eglna, at Qu'Appelle station, and at other points, some men would supply Iheir horses; but at least 75 per cent of those who would desire to bo drilled and arc good horsemen would not have their horses, and would find tho' necessity of providing a horse a bar. I suggest, therefore, that action be taken at once. "We have heard talk, which I hope Is pure talk of a Fenian raid on thu part of some loose tongu- ed Hcoundrelu below the line. The Hitnw thing was talked of in 1885, when some men came across the nnu and caused some trouble. Some of thesii men havo beon talking of visiting tho North West. You have the possibility of an attempt being mado to disturb the public from that quarter, or from some particular reserve, or on behalf of those who disturbed it in 1885, bo that I think the government cannot take a course that will commend Itself more to patriotism and to the needs of the North West at present than for the minister of militia to at once take steps to see that those gentlemen, who deslro lo put themselves in harness today and strike a blow if necessary for Canada, for their homes and families, put in such a position that they would be fit to do the work efficiently and be given possession of the requisite arms. I do not think it necessary for me to say anything further, and I hope that we may. hear something from my hon. friend the minister of militia that will bo satisfying to that portion of the North West for whom I speak. I'S BAY COMPANY. -~ l������-4������4^.������l������-ftJM*-i-M������i������ifr .WC ORPOBAT ED 16 TO Our. The Uevelstoke Herald (SEMUWEEKLY) creased. -. "The lforald has time after time pointed out the gross injustice to the settlers of this country of depleting the strength of this body of men by repeated drafts for the Yukon, and il was thought that the limit had,been reached when the few men who were left were ordered to South Africa. "Now. however. It seems that the police are to be wiped out of existence altogelhor. It volunteers are needed for Strathcona's Horse, every member of the force who has not already been accepted will feel it his duty to volunteer.' This is all right and proper from the policeman's point ot view, but how about the settlers of the North West who are indebted to the police for the existence of law and order in this new country? Every settlement in tbe Territories objects to what is being done, and has said so as plainly as it has been possible to say it. The press of the Territories, regardless ot politics, are a unit in demanding that the force be restored to something like its strength four years ago.but not only is* no notice taken of the just demands of tho __ODle"���������-U--eve_��������� the���������few��������� rem ain'._.*���������- men ar- now wanted elsewhere. The people have sufficiently good memories to recall the special promises that were made regarding the police torce when the Liberal party were seeking office, and they well know- how to treat in the future thos_ politicians who have bo unblushlng-ly violated their most sacred pledee. I read thb. for the��������� Dirpcme of showing that a public journal in the town ot Calgary, which is one of the moRt considerable towns in the North Went Territories, feels it necessary to sound a' note of alarm, and what I would suggest Is this, that means be at once taken, first, to Instruct and as noon as may be arm rifle corps nt different centre* In the North West Territories. There is a. rifle corps at Moose Jaw. whom the departments of militia, when It was pronlded over, by Mr. Patterson, r think, supplied with Snider rifles. The Snider rifl<; is now an obsolete arm. They would like to he supplied with Lee-Metford rifles. Then there la a strong desire on the pari of large numbers���������I have the names of some 40 gentlemen In Swift Current���������who want to join a rifle- corps. T have also communications from gentlemen at Medicine liar, to the same effect; and r have received a letter from Edmonton saying that there nrc gentlemen there- who desire to form a rifle corps. Here is this desire on the part of the peoplf of the North West in various centres lo fil thfrnsolves without pay, without' any expense, to do th(> work required. I have had a few words with the minister of militia, from which I infer that he looks sympathetically on the cnursf tha.l should br. taken. When General Hutton was out wpsI, I met him. I at tended his meetings, and hcaicl hia scheme explained; and any little* Inflwiic-f I had T r.-lvc in support of his scheme. Since General Till I ton, however, has com" east, ,-ind other events have occurred, and f have been ablo to meet the people, I havo found thai even It lhe same circumstance- existed today that existed when General Hutton was th**re. his scheme of mounted rifles, enfh man having a horse ot his own, is not re.islbl- ia n.ll parts of Manitoba and the North West Territories; ami the suggestion r have to make to the government is this. Part of il sounds at first like .'t bull; but after It is looked into more closely, it������ bull-like Dr. Borden's Reply. Dr. Borden in reply to Mr. Davin said that- a large number of police had been withdrawn to go to 'South Africa and he might now assure the house and the public that it .'was the intention of tho government to till up promptly the ranks of that force. Everyone would agree that'no better men could have been sent to South Africa to assist Britain. The squadrons had gone as a result of the ac-, Hon of the government and in .addition Lord Strathcona was now equipping and sending out at his own expense three other squadrons, composed of policemen and others who were specially qualified for such work. The ranks would be filled up to. what it was before the draft was made upon it. In regard to the question of the defence of the North West Territories, Manitoba and British Columbia,- it was before the government for the past 18 months. The question was a difficult and expensive one, but It should be grappled with. Dr. Borden was also ot tlie opinion that rifle associations should be encamped in the -western country and the department would do all it could by supplying ammunition, rifles.and necessary in- tructions. The soldiers of the future in a country like this should be mounted rifles. The war brought this out. It was his intention to inaugurate squads of mounted rifles in Manitoba, the North West Territories and British Columbia. A beginning would be made this year in the way of organizing special corps in tho North West of mounted rifles. The work ot organization could go on even if all the men had not horses..

He adds: "The splendid spirit shown in ��������� Canada, which has Just * received the first news of the losses incurred In the service ot tho empire, should serve to impel us to'greater effort." The morning papers alludu to tho thoughtfulness of Lord Roberts In sending a despatch to the Earl or Mint*. ROBERTS AND nULLER Are Marching from One Triumph to Another London. Fob. 23.���������Lord Roberts and General Duller aro' marchine from one triumph to another, but they are also acting cautiously and discreetly. Reports ������������������. current ���������' for.. several days that Cronje'B force had been surrounded wore confirmed yesterday by despatches from Capetown.and Modder River, and by Lord Roberts himself. An official message from him, dated "Wednesday stated that he was satisfied, from the reconnalsance that the assault upon Cronje's position would be costly, and consequently decided to bombard It, and also to turn his: attention to the reinforcements which were arriving for the enemy. The result of the latter manoeuvres were- satisfactory, .:'��������� since the enemy ,was driven o_ in all .directions, with heavy Iosb, 50 prisoners being taken. There is no fresh information for the public tonight, except a report from Lord Roberts that food; forage and coal were going rapidly to Kimberley, and the mines which were closed will soon ��������� be in operation and that the population in the adjacent districts were settling down. ���������. There was no news from General Buller yesterday, but the silence Is attributed to delay in completing the British line of supplies for Ladysmith. The relief of the garrison is confidently expected today, if it has not already been relieved by General Warren's brigade. While the Boer forces are still on the right to fight a rear guard action and obstruct the passage of Buller's column, it was hardly creditable that serious resistance would be offered his advance. Lord Roberts has virtually deprived the Dutch there of the objective points eaBt and w<_6t, and compelled 'them to mass their forces in the Free State to assist Cronje and for the defence of Bloemfontein and Pretoria. .���������__"���������"__ total casualties of the War on the British side are officially reported as 10,284. of C. company, late Royal Canadian InpRIVAT_l A.

There are 17 1-Soers, 73 Irishmen, and 20 Americans in my company. I'm 'boss,' the Boer name for captain. 1 suppose you read a good deal - about this war, but you! don't know a d ' thing about it.

When he returned in April last he found his house��������� ' a boarding:, establishment���������in charge of a manageress, and his wife had disappeared. In December last he. heard she: wan dead, and he caused ���������; an inquest to be held, at which the defendant gave evidence that in October 1893 he went to complainant's residence and found Mrs. Clatworthy penniless. He took her.������ to . Liverpool, where they lived, together, and: on December 19 she died, and he registered her death in the name: of Bertha" Caroline Davis, the same name appearing on the coffin plate. Mr. Daniel Morgan, a pensioned police, inspector, now in. business for himself, said that he had ascertained that the parents of -tho dead woman had all the jewellery except two diamond ��������� rings, which" were in the -possession of the defendant's solicitor.

It is not likely, however, that, they are fully cognizant of the fact that this province with its comparatively sparse population, figures third on the list of contributors to Ibis department.. It is a long way behind Ontario and Quebec, hut still it is easily third. Ontario contributes a little over ten millions, Quebec, rat bet- less than nine and a half, and then, cotnes B. _.'.' with $2,113,0-7 and Manitoba some way behind with $1,240,0-3.. Tho Inland revenue returns show the same story. Quebec is a little over four millions. Ontario slightly under. Then comes our own province with $513,503 and M .uitolm with a little over half a milion. . SEE THE- But when we come to expenditure, there is a very different tale to unfold. The united contribution of the provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, to .the Customs and Inland Revenue amounts to $2,769,698. British Columbia furnishes to both departments, $2,628,490. But the Public Works..department,, the big spending department, put up last year for public buildings, bridges, harbor and river improvements, etc., in the two maritime provinces nearly $308,000. while British Columbia was stood off with $138,500, or a good deal less than half what her more favored sisters by the melancholy Atlantic received. Kellie's great coalition with Joe Martin, which was to force the opposition to take their, .redistribution medicine, collapsed on Friday with a dull, sickening thud. It almost- looks as if tho wily Joe had got the (U-eat Kellie into a little trap. "as LEADING STORE" Red Cross When you have to purcbaso drugs or got a proscription tilled. See that.tho Red Cross Is on thc package, It Is a guarantee that the drugs u������ed aro pure and primo. For not only Is It Important to have pure drugs, but also prime drugs. Unfortunately there are many Inducements ottered to manufacturers to use drugs, which, although pure, do not serve the purpose of doing any better than those which are actually adulterated. These are drugs which havo boon collected out of season, or have been badly cured.

The members of the Presbyterian chinch congregation met yesterday Hfternoon at Mrs. Clark's residence on Second street and presented Dr. and Mrs. McKechnie with a handsome ���������diver tea service as a parting present. ;on their leaving for the coast. They have both ever since coming here.been active workers of the church and their loss will be keenly felt. Mrs. McKechnie left on yesterday's Nn. 1 and the ', doctor intends to follow her shortly. The :Herax._ regrets to note the approaching departure of Dr. Mc- Km hnie for the coast. As a physician, citizen and man the doctor is, and has been ever since his arrival here, held in the hiithe-st esteem in RevelstoUe. A man of progressive ideas, he has actively helped the advancement of this place as a prominent member of the -bonrd of trade and as a city councillor, twice elected. His departure will leave a gap hard to be filled. The Herald wishes him and Mrs. McKechnie every kind of happi- -les. and good':.fortune in their new sphere of life-work at Vancouver. Kellie's conscience is getting touchy. The other night, in speaking on the proposed redistribution bill, Mr. Turner said that it "was -meant to create little pocket borough's."' Kellie immediately aroso and said '.that "the opposition leader seemed to think a pocket borough had been created for him" (Kellie.) Mr. Turner had not mentioned Kellie's name, had made no reference to the Revelstoke riding or even the VVest Kootenay district. Why should Kellie' think - the cap fitted himself and clap it firmly on? I wonder why, I wonder why! the original motion of Aid. Kilpatrick carried by the same figures. Aid. Abrahamson was informed that there had been no further correspond ence over the railway crossing matter. Aid. Kilpatrick was informed that there was $50 in the city treasury. The city solicitor stated that the amendment to the Railway Assess. ment Act, which would give the city poxVer to assess their townsite was in the hands . of the attorney-general. Even if it didnot -go through, the provincial government intended to assess the.C.P. R. townsite here at the same figures as the city. The council then adjourned.

The resolution of the council, which was quite unanimous, could only be rescinded, as it waa passed in open council. The Mayor has no power to interfere with such a resolu- "tiO-Texc-epfiitthe council-board.-���������And in the Herald's opinion the resolution still stands in spite of the proceedings tuket. at lost Friday', meeting and should go foward.

The third reading of the bylaw to repeal the Insurance Companies'license tax was again postponed. Aid. McKechnie inquired why the resolution of the Board of Trade on the canyon wagon road had not been forwarded to Victoria as ordered.. A long discussion followed his question in which the doctor and. Aid. Newman, whosupported him, had a long way the best of the argument. Aid. Peterson favored the council with several fifteen minute addresses on various subjects which had transpired during his residence, hen* since 188-1, none of which seemed to have any perceptible rel-ition to chat point at issue. Aid. Kilpatrick's contention was that the mayor had vetoed the resolution, a view of the case which his worship di-tinetly declined to endorse. Finally a motion whs made by Aid. Abraham- son, seconded by Aid. Peterson, rescinding the resolution altogether. Aid. Kilpatrick asked that this motion he ivithcliitwn'ii- it would prevent the council taking up the matter again at some future''date this ye.ar, and he proposed, seconded by Aid. Patrick, that the matter be laid over for two weeks. Aid, McKechnie moved in amendment, seconded by Aid. Newman, that the resolution be reii.dorsed and sent forward.
