The present government buildings will have to be replaced\nbefore many years pass, and the expense\nof' v.ie erection of new ones would be\nconsiderable. No one knows how soon\na demand may be made for new buildings, and if there is going to be any\nchange in the location of the capital,\nthat change should be determined before\nany additional outlay of this kind has\nbeen incurred, It is evident to any\ndisinterested observer that the present\nlocation of the capital buildings is very\nfar from being central either with respsct\nto territory or population. Geographically it could be scarcely further from\nthe centre, Population is sure to increase much more rapidly on the mainland than on the Island, and the inconvenience of the present arrangement\nwill become more and more evident.\nHitherto Victoria has been the commercial metropolis of the province, a\nposition she cannot expect to maintain\nwhen operations have begun on the\nCanadian Pacific Railway. Thee om-\nmercial center will then be on the\nmainland, whence all goods will be distributed. In view of these facts, the\nresolution of Mr. Orr ought to receive\nmore than passing notice, both in the\nHouse and in the country. It has always seemed to us a mistake for mainland constituencies to elect non-residents\nas their representatives. So long as\nthis practice continues, the interests of\nthese constituencies may be expected to\nsuffer whenever they seem to come into\ncompetition with the local interests of\nthe representatives. In view of the\nvery serious questions which are sure te;\ncome forward for settlement in the near\nfuture, every constituency on the mainland ought to resolve that it will not\nsustain any candidate at the coming election who resides on Vancouver Island,\nor whose personal interests are not fully\nidentical with its own. Of course this\nrule cannot be applied to members of\nthe cabinet, who must necessarily reside\nat the seat of Government, but whose\ninterests are nevertheless in the constituencies they represent. It is not too soon\nnow to be discussing this question and\nconsidering whether the present circumstances and future possibilites are not\nsufficiently grave to call for intelligent,\nunited and vigorous action.\u2014British\nColumbian.\nWe heartily endorse the sentiments\nof the Columbian both as to the capital and as to representatives, and go\nfurther than our contemporary, we\nbelieve that every constituency on the\nIsland should be particularly careful\nnot to elect a Victorian, or indeed any\none not actually resident in and identified with the locality represented.\n\u2014. *-\u2022-\u00ab\t\nThe Western editor who put the head \"Natural Gas\" over the proceedings of a woman's\nrights convention, was conveniently ,-out of\ntown'' when a committee of ladies wearing\nspectacles and a revengeful expression caiietl\nto interview him.\nSIS JOHN A.

It has become, beyond\nquestion, the chief industry of the century, and therefore worthy of their best\nstudy. Each of the numerous departments of fron working has claimed its\nspecial investigators. In the reduction\nof the ores to the crude pig metal, the\nimprovmeents have been marvelous.\nThe clumsy stone furnaces of twenty\nand thirty years ago, with their weekly\nproduct of forty to a hundred tons,\nhave given place to the graceful shafts\nof iron and firebrick, which now produce as much as three* hundred and\ntwenty-five tons of pig metal in twenty\nfour hours. In the subsequent transformations which the crude metal undergoes, the changes h'ave been no less\nremarkable. The introduction of the\nBessemer process in this country, and\nthe revolution effected by the cheap\nsteel thus made possible, are within the\nmemory of many of our readers.\nThis metallurgical activity has brought\nthe introduction of so many improvements and modifications that, perfect as\nthe art of the iron worker has now become, new changes must be expected\nat every turn, It is our present purpose I\nto illustrate one of these improvements j\n\u2014the process of Messrs, Clapp & Grif-\nfith's\u2014as it has now passed from the experimental to the practical stage, and\nits rapid introduction among American\niron works indicates that it is destined\nto become an important factor in the\nmetallurgy of coming years.\nBut it will, perhaps, be advisable to\nfirst point out the condition of the industry at the time of the introduction\nof this new process, and glance at the\nfield which it is probably to occupy.\nAt present a strong tendency exists\nto substitute steel for wrought iron wherc-\never possible. The change is not the result of any demand on the part of consumers, nor in many cases is it due to\nany superiority of steel over iron. The\ncause is even more potent. It is simply\nbecause it is easier and cheaper to make\nsteel than iron, and this being the case,\nthe substitution must inevitably follow.\nYet this tendenoy has certain limitations. Crucible and open-hearth steel\nare still too expensive to be used for\naught save the better grade of goods,\nwhile the Bessemer product is restricted\nby the the quality of the crude materials\nit requires and the heavy expense of erecting and operating such a plant.\nFor years the puddling furnace has been j\nused to produce iron, but it has done\nso at a heavy cost and with a labour\nthe severity of which in time becomes\nfatal.\nThe well Icnowii Bessemer engineer,\nCaptain W. R. Hunt, has made a care-1\nful study of the steel, and his results!\nhave attracted wide attention from their\nunexpected character.    The product is\na very soft steel, containing only from,\n0-07 to 0'i carbon, and the amount of!\nsilicon is usually so small as to be un- j\ndeterminable.   The best product is of.\ncourse made from Bessemer pig,  but\nastonishing results have also been ab-.\ntained from steel made of cheap, phos-\nphoric pig.   Steel containing as much\nas 0-85  phosphorus  gave a tensible\nstrength -of over 70,000 pounds, while,\nanother carrying C55 of this element\ngave  a   tensible strength   of   79,780\npounds, an elongation of 23*5 percent,\nand  a  reduction   of area  of  35*5.\nThese qualities appear the more reniark-\nj able to us, because phosphorus has al-\nj ways been regarded as the one element\nabove all others to be shunned by the\niron master.    In this process, however,\nis is rendered comparatively harmless\nTENDERS.\nby the almost total elimination of the\nsilicon, and the low carbon.

It seems the\nbonus was voted for what are known\nas \"reduction works\"\u2014for extracting\ngold and silver from the matrices in\nwhich they exist. But if the vote is\nan index of the prevailing sentiment of\nthe House iron or steel works would\nprobably receive similar assistance if\napplied for.\nThe very courteous treatment accorded this paper, since its foundation,\nby the British Columbian of New\nWestminster, is deserving of recognition, but we beg to assure our contemporary that the only trouble we are\nin has arisen from the misappropriation\nof our earnings and exhaustion of stock\nby the late leasee. We will be temporarily embarrassed by it, but it can\nscarcely be called trouble, nor will the\nlate leasee bring any action of any kind\nwhatever against the owner. Where\nthe law courts are likely to intervene\nthat person is remarkably discreet.\nHvpocracy seems to be the god\nthat the people bow down to. So long\nas a man will profess good principles\nand violate them every hour of his\nlite he fulfills the conditions that make\nhim successful, but should he in foolish\nsimplicity endeavor to live up to the\nprinciples he professes he is bowled out\ninstanter. Toronto elected last January a young and high principled gentleman to the mayoralty. On a recent\noccasion the Hon. Frank Smith having\ndischarged some of his street car hands,\nbecause they were Knights of Labor,\nwas met by a strike, participated in by\nall the men employed on his street car\nlines. \"On applying to the mayor to\nobtain the city's assistance in suppressing the strike, he received a reply accusing him of having been the instigator of the strike by discharging men for\nexercising a legal right and declaring\nthat the city would not give him any\nassistance, but would hold him responsible for delays in street car service\ntraffic. And now they are trying to\nunseat him on some technical ground.\nIn connection with this we would direct attention to an item relating to\nAlderman Jrehne of New York.\nThe startling disclosures in New\nYork in regard to the transactions of\nAlderman Henry W. J serine should be\na lesson to the business men of every\nlarge city. Not only is he shown to\nhave been a receiver of stolen good,\nbut he confessed that he received twenty\nthousand dollars for his vote on the\nBroadway Street Railway bill, and asserts that other aldermen were also\nbought up in the same way. All over\nthis continent the substantial business\nmen take care of themstlves, and the\nresult is instead of having in the city\nouncils mne of high character, who\nwill work for the interests of the taxpayers, the civic expenditure is often\ncontrolled by men who are most intent\non lining their own pockets.\nWe rtsent the imputation that we\nare now or ever have been animated by\npersonal motives in first opposing and\nnow endeavoring to modify the terms\nof the Settlement Act.   Of the persons\nprincipally benefitted by that act we\ncan only say what we have said bpforje\n\u2014we  admire  their  abilities, we  are\npleased with their success, we refuse to\nbelieve   them  actuated  by improper\nmotives.   Nevertheless, there can be\nlittle doubt that if those chiefly interested had thought for a moment that a\nfew short  years  would  see their vast j\ndomain wrested from them by the popu-j\nlace they would never have undertaken\nto build the railway. Thc coal business\nis  not all  smooth sailing.    It  has its\nups and downs and there is little prob-\nability (less indeed) of its being overdone than other branches of trade.    It\nis probable that the  possibility of controlling the vast stores of coal on this:\nIsland commanding the California mar-\nket may have dazzled some members of\nthe railway company and led up to the j\npresent condition of those lands.    But\nit is probable that the power expected\nfrom the possession of much coal land\nwas ovor estimated.   Why is it not\npossible to modify the terms of the |\nIsland Railway Act ?   Is it not possible\nto induce either the Dominion or the\nprovince to assume possession of the j\nroad, granting   compensation   to   the!\ncompany in lands   and money, andi\nfreeing a vast acreage for occupation\nby the best classes of immigrants?\nWould the Railway Company object?\nWe scarcely believe it, j\nWould  the   Dominion  Oovernment\nobject ?   We do not think so.\nWould   the  provincial   government!\nobject ?   As at present constituted pro- j\nbably it would, for in a speech made by\nthe premier at Victoria when the Settle-'\nmerit Act was under discussion he admitted that the Island Railway quarrel\nwith the Dominion Government could\nhave been settled as a separate question \\\nto the other matters in dispute, but for\nreasons that he did not go into, he had\nmanaged to make the Act cover all\ngrounds   of   disagreement,    lastly\u2014\u25a0*\nhow  would such a   compromise   be\nviewed hy the people ?   We think we\nare within the mark when we predict\nthat it would be hailed with delight and\nsatisfaction.\ntempered with discretion, who breathe\ndeath and destruction on parade days,\nand when ordered into battle beg to be\nleft with the forts and provisions. We\nare afraid that in the future cowardice\nwill be epigrammatized and that the\nworst accusation that will be hurled at\na man's courage will be, \"We rely on\nthe ninth.\"\nI\nUllL\nSh\n)i^^r>? id\nB   I   **    G   oiiM^y   XtCK    B      w.\nDISPENSING\nTfor-\nOominercial St., Nanaimo, IB.
