THE   CONSERVATIVE  MEETING
A Magnificent Speech by Mayer Goodeve
of Rossland.
There was a good attendance in the
npci.'i linuse on Monday night ul the
meeting in Mr. McICane's interest*-,
which was .iddressi'd hy Mayor Gnod-
eve of Rossi.md. \V. E. .McJ.auclilin,
pre-ddctiL of the Goiisei vative iissricin'-
tion, was in llu* chair and in i-esponsi:
lo hi-i invitation -Mr. Craig came
I'orwird as representative uf tho Labor
e.iiididnie.
The Hrst spciiker was R. Tapping,
who opened tin- ball with |a short,
-lioech, explaining why he 11$ an old
Conservative, alter voting last timo
for Mr. Laurier. hud determined to
return to the Conservative fold. Hi:
comp.ii'i-d the r.iilway policy oftiie
two panics and explained how the
Conservatives liad assisted the Labor
paity. He also loin lied on the bioken
pledges of the temperance plebiscite
and wnijud up by asking the electois'
lo cast their volei for McKane.
The next speaker wns Frank Craig,
who spoke 011 behalf of the Labor
caudi'lHle., He related an instance nf
Mr. Puttee's usefulness in getting the
union scale paid un the contract
government, work on St. Andrew's
docks on the .Red River. -Ho criticised lhe Conservative government
for the manner in which they had
'���ith.-idiz.ed ihe G. P. Railway, although
in- gave them ciedit for tin* work,
which wa.s .1 necessaiy work. One
good thing tin* Conservative senate
had done- was to defeat tho Yukon
steal. Thu Liberals had no excuse for
inuli'iuing the subsidy policy of
1 ail way cons', ruction. One was as
deep in the mud as the oilier was deep
in the mire. He appealed to lhe working men In vole for lhe miner, who
knew the wants and needs of Unpeople. He put it to them if Ihey
���aanted to vole for XV. A. Galliher,
who had betrayed the peoplo by sign,
ing tlie petition against Lhe eight liouV
law. Ai between Foley llie miner and\
McKVmelhe mine .ownei where, did
they iliink.tlieii- inteiest lay?
Mayor Goodeve nf* Rossland, was
then called ' on. He .-aid -lhat -the
piesent election was one of the most,
impiul.iiit thai, had taken place in
'he Dominion. ���- The " Conservative.,
party was one which gave ecjuid rights *
Io all men and special .piivdeges. If
iho Liberal goveriiuifiit had failed lo
carry out ils pledges it wa?1 right'that,
this great cousiiiuem y-should 'enter
its protest against slifin. He dealt
witli llie v irious taiilf policies of the
Liberal party. Tile one iniquity of
the Conservatives'was tlie tiiriitV./X'hey
liad now been in power.for iour-Voars.
I hey had,1 eduied_ it by "luiirleen one
hiiiidi**dih.> of one per cent. He* (lid..
not. complain - 1 bat ,-i hey had-not
1 educed the tarilf. He did coin-
plain that they had bioken theii*
pledge-sand had flamed Ihe tariff 'not
iu Canadian but in Aniei ic.-m interests.
He showed how thev. had handed
over the Canadian coal oil indnstlry to
the St'iiid.-H-d Oil trust, wilh "the
le.-ult that, every oil well in Canada is
now in llieir absolute eonl i-ol and. the
price is raised fiom 15c. to 25c. in
Ontario, a difference which came out
of 1 lie pockets of llie poorer classes in
Canada. They had reduced the duties
on steel and iiou with the lesiilt tiiat
Canadian winking men are paying 25
pei lent uioieon lools into tin* pockets
oftiie iron and steel U list of the
United States. ��� They had, on the.
other hand, incieased the duty 011
lotion fiotn22J lo 25 percent, though
cotton could tint pu.-silily.lK-i produced
in Canada. They had given the
"United States the duty on corn -and
got nothinir in letiirn. He contrasted
tho reduction- in the tariff made liy
Mr. Foster in 1891 and those made liy
the Laurier adminUtralinn. "Wliile
pledged to eioi.oniy they had increased
llie debt. They had " {ailed -to "get
reciprocity, because they had previously given" away all Ihe United
Stales wanted. There never had been
any such;.it! iniquitous, bargain attempted* to be imposed on a fine people a.s
the 1 iikim deal, wliiclnfhe sen"aTe_liail~
rejectd. Then thoio was'-the Druni-
uiond Raihoad steal and' the election
frauds. In spite of n sin-plus of $8.03".-
OOOitiiev had increased the. debt bv
S-��.000,000 and had pledged -themselves to it similar amount, of
expnidilure in the future. Further
they had increased the taxation
derived from ��� customs and . excise
from S5.02 |*er head in '05 lo $0.58 iu
Of). They had made the plebiscite
pledge simply to phiyj with and fool
the tempera nre-people.
In Canada wo were all working men
and they asked for no sympathy. How
had the'Laurier ndmiuisli.tilon dealt
with ns on the qui sliiin of .Mongolian
iiiimigiatioti. In spile of lhe pledges
tliey liad done uolliing. Al the veiy
la.-t iiioment they had increiised'tln*
lux by $.">0 lo citcli \otos. : Ho asked
them did they agiee with .Mr. Blair's
method.-of dealing with section nun,
whom he discharged without any
inquiry, which he did'not consider
neces*iiiry in lhe ca.��e of Ciiiiiiuon
wuiking men. The old Conservative.
Iraiichise act excluded .Mongolians.
In '05 the Liberals had desltoyed thai,
act .and , hud given thc franchise to alt
I.he naturalised Chinese and Japs in
British Goliiuibi-i. He challenged any
Reformer present to name any single
act placed nn the statute hook liy ihe
Liheial pai ty of a, national character.
The preferential tariff had been of no
advantage to Canada and alisnln e y
of no advantage to Great Britain.
The exports from Great Biitaiii had
only increased 121 por cent, , while
I hose fiom the. L tilled States had
inci eased 02 per c ent.
After giving the ictl facts of the
case with regaid to the sigtiatuie of
W. 'A. Galliher 011 the petitions
against the eight, hour law. Mr. G"<"d-
t**.e wound tip with ai-tin-Ing pei oration
appealing to his liuttrmtm As Canadians
t*i volt* for the Conservative candidate.
His speech, which ,was ficquenlly
iutet rupied with bursts of applause,
was admitted to he the finest piece ot

The decision  is   doubtless   good   law,   but  it  is  a  striking Illustration of   what cruelty  and  injustice can  be  perpetrated in  the name of the law.     Were a newspaper to hold up this woman's  past  life to public condemnation, its publisher would be punished hy the law  and  rightly punished  for the  misery  he would  bring upon a woman who  for many  years  has  been  leading a  respectable life, upon,  her    husband  and    on her children.   Yet, what the  law will not suffer tho newspaper to  do directly, the   newspaper    can   do  through the machinery ot tho law itself.     It is an open- question whether  our vast and complicated legal system  is not a failure;  whether it has not  been more ot a curse than a blessing  to humanity;    whether1'  it has    not  done more harm than good.

Especially is this the ease with Conservatives. They detest Mr. .Tarte  not because ho is a Freneh.Canadian.  but because he is a renegade' Conservative, who not only deserted to  the Liberal camp for personal ad.  vantage, but because he carried to  that camp with him the confidences  'and secrets that he became possessed  "There was a bo'swaln I Ituew,  McAllister, by name, who unexpectedly came into a small fortune���������just  enough capital to bring him interest  of ,CS0 or .C100 a year," snys a noted  British admiral in his just, published  reminiscences.

Thoy do not regard the  season of 1900 as being a wet one in  tho general acceptance of the term.  Such a one would have been a detriment to the range.

Nov. 24.���������A most painful,  question, involving in   a less exalted  sphere, the principle, in that of Lady  Travers Twiss. where a good woman s  reputation was blasted'as a.result of  question asked in a court of law, has  arisen in connection with a suit for  libel brought    by Mayor    Macdonald  against  Saturday   Night,  the  society  paper of this city.      Saturday Night  during la3t    year's    mayoralty,, campaign,  charged   Mr.   Macdonald   witn  conduct so groBS that the only sufficient answer was a suit for libel. The  preliminary stages of   the case have  been  in  progress   all  year,  and  thc  mayor, in an examination for discovery   refused to answer certain questions, on the ground that if he did so  he would  involve the eood name of  a woman.     Saturday Night   got   an  order to compel him to answer.   Tho  mayor appealed  and    the    divisional  court has just rendered a judgment,  which was   evidently given with reluctance.      The judges were Falcon-  bridge and Street, and they say: "Thc  fact that a woman with whom plaintiff    admitted     that,   he   cohabited  18 yearB ago, haa long since become a  respectable    married      woman;     and  -would  he  socially ostracised by  the  disclosure of-her name. Is known to  the  authorities,   though   it   is  to  he  regreted,    is   no     ground     for    the  plaintiff's   refusal   In   this  action  to  refuse to make such disclosure; moreover his objection to do so i.s entirely  inconsistent with his admission' that  he intends to call her as a witness."  It Is expected that the mayor   will  withdraw, the" libel suit rather  than  go under thc conditions set.  /'    CANADA'S   POPUIwATlON  '   The official -declaration In -MacdonV  aid gives Mr. Boyd's majority as. 156;  the vote being Boyd 3,866, Rutherford  3,710.
