Also that the officers of the union\njustified this course by furnishing ball\nand counsel for those who have been\nguilty of these atrocious acts. We believe we will be able to prove such\ntremendous losses of life and money as\nthe direct results of this particular\nunion, as to convince your honorable\nbody that It is not expedient lo do any\nnet which may contribute to its continued existence.\"\nCHOLERA AT MANILA.\nSeven Soldiers Have Already Died and\nOthers Are Seriously III.\nManila, Nov. 12.\u2014Cholera has made\nits appearance among the men of a\ndetachment of the fifth Infantry which\nis stationed here.

Even more significant Is the\nproposal of the maharajuh of Blkaner to\nsend hla entire camel corps, the finest In\nthe world lo cooperate with tho Imperial\nservice troops on tbc Aden frontier in tho\nevent of a continuance of the Turkish Irregularities in that part of tlio Arabian\npeninsula.\nThis great nabob is a Mohammedan, and\nas such offers religious reverence to tha\ncaliph.

General Delarey, who Is by fur\nthe ablest and most intelligent of Die Boer\ngenerals here, in discussing tiie matter,\nremarked: \"1 cannot understand why Mr.\nChamberlain's mission should be regarded\nas extraordinary or surprising.

James Sutherland, The Dally\nNews would commend tho early application of the pi'inciph- of slate ownership of the telegraph systems of Cnn-\nndn. He will find a cordial co-worker in\nthis move in the postmaster-general,\nHon. William Mulock.\nThere wns some talk of the government taking over the telegraph lines a\nwhile back, hut Mr. Tarte saw In the\nmove, or rather thought he did, nn attempt to curtail his patronage, and he\nentered very vigorous protest against\ntlie innovation. Tiie new minister has\na clear field now, and if he would take\nthe Initiative In the matter he would\nfind the whole country rally to his support.\nMulock has proved so efficient an administrator of the postofiice department\nthnt the country would have no hesitation in adding to his responsibilities by\nplacing the telegraphs under his control.\nThe government already own some\nlines but they nro leased to the C. P. R.,\nand for all practical purposes might as\nwell be tho private property of tbe\nrailway compuny.\nWith a slate owned telegraph system\nthere would be some prospect of a\ndecent news service, something the C.\nP. R. either will not or cannot provide.\nThero aro a score of other nnd perhaps\nweightier reasons thnt can be advanced\nin favor of tho state owning this public\nutility. It will suffice for the present to\nsimply remind the new minister of an\nopportunity that presents ItBelf for\neffecting a much needed reform.\nTOO MUCH GOVERNMENT.\nWriting to the Colonist, a correspondent says of Australia: \"A small community of something under 4,000,000\npopulation, will never forge ahead while\nstaggering under 14 houses of parliament and a multitude of heavily paid\nofficials sufficient to control a nation of\n80,000,000.\" As tiie correspondent is an\nox-Australian settler evidently out of\njoint with the conditions existing in his\nformer homo, the pessimism contained in\ntlio assertion that Australia is staggering; under 14 legislatures and as a consequence its progress Is Impossible, may\nonly be the measure of his disappointment. It. excites tho query, however,\nhow does Canada stand in relation to\ntlie present day tendency towards too\nmuch government? Is Canada over-\ngoverned? So fnr ns British Columbia is\nconcerned it. must be admitted that It\nis. Thero nre far to many representatives in the provincial legislature and\ntbc civil service Is wofully overstocked,\nIn other words it costs far more than ls\nnt all necessary to run tho machinery.\nWere Hie legislative representation cut\ndown, and n very considerable reduction made in the number of civil servants, the cost of the administration of\nprovincial affairs would be materially\nlessened and this, too, without in the\nlenst. interfering with the proper conduct\nof the business of tlie country. It Ib unnecessary to Specify wherein these\ncurtailments mny be mado; they nre\nneeded all along the line, nnd if the\nsame amount of work per diem was exacted of government employees ns of\nothers doing a similar class of work, it\nwould speedily be found that 25 per\ncent of the present number of civil servants could be (llspensedwlth\u2014providing\nalways, and how necessary this is we\nsurely all know, that ability be the first\nrequirement of appointees.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nTbe minister of justice has decided\nthat there are no grounds for interference in tho case of the condemned\nmurderer, Rose, and he will therefore\nexpatiate his crime on the scaffold on\nFriday, the 21st November.\nThe paymaster-general of the United\nStates army has figured out the cost of\nthe Spanish war at $73,088,440\u2014but this\nof course does not include the cost of\nthe subsequent troubles in the Philippines and elsewhere.\nThe war in Somallland ls at length\nattracting serious attention, and an\nadvance will probably be made on Mad\nMullah early this month. The Italian-\nAfrican explorer, Signor Sylos Seresal,\nestimates the followers of the Mad\nMullah at 30,000, comprising one-third\nfanatics lighting with enthusiasm, one-\nthird brigands and adventurers who\nhave no motive except plunder and\nrapine, and tbe remainder forced levies\ncompelled to fight through fear of punishment. The Mad Mullah is a man of\nambition and no doubt sincere in his\nhntretl of the infidel. Unless soon conquered by a force sufficient to keep his\nfollowers in subjection after they have\nbeen defeated he will, Signor Seresal\nthinks, found a new stale in Somali-\nland with Islamism of the most fan?\ntastic type as its corner stone.\nRecent advices from the Lake Chad\ndistrict in Africa state that under the\nnew regime instituted by the British\nresident- at Bornti. the people are settling down and working in cultivating the\nland and that there are signs of prosperity everywhere. More land is under\ncultivation than there has been for years\npost owing to the quiet that prevails,\ntho result of the policy adopted towards\nthe Inhabitants and the hosttles. Mon-\ngornu, the residence of tbe native potentate who reigns under the imposing\ntitle of sultan, has been converted into a\nflourishing town of some 25,000 people.\nWhen the British arrived there it was\nbut a primitive hamlet and the rapid\ngrowth to Its present size is due entirely\nto the assurance of pence and the improved trade conditions. In the same\nunobtrusive way, Great Britain is working out her destiny all along the line.\nAnd yet there are those who say she Is\nlacking in enterprise; that she is losing\nher foothold ln the world.\nProfessor Eliot, of Harvard, denounces\nlabor unions. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the\nwell known author and poet, on the\nother hand, writes to John Mitchell,\npresident of the United Mine Workers:\n\"With all the thinking unprejudiced\npeoplo of America I believe in your\nnbsolute unselfishness to a worthy principle, and I admire your strength, your\nself-control, and your courage, I am\nan earnest advocate of co-operation,\nand I believe that one of the most important steps ever taken by humanity\ntoward tbe final establishment of universal brotherhood of man was when the\nlabor union idea was evolved.\" ut\ncourse Ella Wheeler Wilcox is a mere\nwoman, and her opinions, professor\nEliot would say, \"don't count.\" Perhaps, though, this \"mere woman\" is\nnearer tho truth than the professor of\nthe capitalist controlled college.\nThe Skints Zeitung, a German paper\npublished in New York, is so enamored\nof the idea that it finds in the conditions existing in the United States today evidenco to \"confirm the conviction\nthat the German character, language,\nand idlosyncracy will steadily acquire\ngreater privileges In foreign countries,\nand that German as the flrst of the\nworld languages will one day put the\nEnglish idiom into the shade, and rule\nboth land nnd sea.\" This rhapsody is\nthe thought born of the wish, and although the American people will be Inclined to treat it with a smiling Indulgence, there is something more in this\nthan tho extravagance of the ultra-\nTeuton. The signs of the times point\nto a moro than neighborly interest in\nthe affairs of the United States by the\nGermans. At the recent congress of the\nGerman General School association, professor Brand), the chairman, laid stress\nupon tho importance of German instruction in .America. Tho visit of prince\nHenry was less meant for the United\nStates than for the Germans, who while\ngood citizens of the United Stat03, still\nretain a strong affection for the vater-\nInnd. There is littlo doubt that it wns\nIntended to arouse that sentiment of\nsolidarity with tholr old homo among\ntbo influential German element in America. At some critical time their votes\nmight turn the scale and decide the\npolicy of tho United Stntes. Such nn\noccasion might arise on a practical\napplication of the Monroe doctrine.\nWhether the people of tbo union recognize it or not, there is a vigorous attempt, being made to create in their very\nmidst, a formidable alien factor whose\ninspiration is drawn from abroad.\nCONCERNING CIVIC AFFAIRS\nEditor, Tbo Daily News,\u2014With reference\nto your article re \"Civic Affairs\" I might\nstute that no doubt from your own abort\npersonal knowledge of provincial parliament proceedings that something better\nshould be expected from a city council.\n1 do not think that your paper can claim\nany distinction from the aldermen hi the\nway of making vague and loose charges,\nI would not expect that anything that I\nmight state would be correctly reported.\nRut in order that the public may know\nthut tbe city ofllces are not demoralized,\naud In fact, run along smoothly, just as\nIf no council existed, 1 nsk you to publish\nthe fallowing letters. I think that tbe\npublic will have confidence In tbe auditor\nwbo is In close touch with the ofiice work.\nThe other departments ure run under\nmen who are responsible for the work ln\ncharge, und so fur I have not had any\ncharges made against these men or their\nsubordinates, Perhaps the different chairmen of committees forget they owe somo\ncourtesy to the mayor, before springing all\nkinds of Issue. It might be stated thai no\ncharge was made against Mr. McLeod us\nto his conduct or the performance of his\nduties iu the city offices.\nAldermnn Scanlan wus not called down,\nbecause he seized an opportunity to go\nafter myself. But simply because there\nwas no motion to speak to.\nWith respect to debute 1 have used my\nown descrctlun as to limits, as no one but\nyour reporters attends It hurts nobody's\nears, except through your paper, and It is\na good vent.

It has been\npretty well proven that should I ns mayor\nsuspend any olllelal, that II would be a\ngood reason for prompt re-Instntement,\njudging from the past.\nAs there Is no shorthand reporter at the\ncouncil meetings it appears very easy lo\nget a garbled and erroneous report of\nproceedings\u2014to suit your long hand reporter.

His letter simply confirms\nthe impressions made on the public mind\nby the reports of the council proceedings.\nTbe mayor has no control over that body.\nEither through Incapacity or lack of Intelligence he has permitted lhe council\nmeetings to degenerate into moro \"bear\ngarden\" gatherings, where the principal\ntopic of discussion ls tbe latest \"tale of\ntbo town\" concerning one or other of the\naldermen.

Mr. Baer makes no reference to Mr. Mitchell ns the president of\nthe miners' organization, but refers to\nhim simply ns nn individual. Taking\nup tlio specllications in Mr. Mitchell's\ncharges seriatim, Mr. Baer first admits\nHint his company owns 37 collieries and\nthat beforo the strike employed 26,829\npeople. Following Is a brief summary\nof the response to Mr. Mitchell's other\nspecifications: .\n\"Second, the demand for 20 per cent\nlncreaso in wages' on piece work Is denounced ns \"arbitrary, unreasonable\nand unjust.\"\nThe company contends that after making all neccsdary allowance for different\nconditions tlie rale of wages paid for\nmining of anthracite coal Is as high as\nthat paid in the bituminous coal fields.\nThird, the company denies that the\npresent rate of wages is lower than is\npaid in other occupations in the same\nlocnlity and controlled by like conditions.\nFourth and fifth, Mr. Baer denies that\nthe earnings of the anthracite workers\nare loss than the average earnings for\nother occupations requiring skill and\ntraining, and also the charge that the\nearnings are Insufficient because of the\ndangerous character of the work in the\nanthracite mines.\nSixth, this specification made by Mr.\nMitchell is referred to as too vague for\nBp-eclflc answer, but in a general way it\nIs stated that, the anthracite regions are\n'among the most prosperous in the\nUnited States.\nSeventh, the company pronounces as\nunjust and inequitable the demand for\na reduction of 20 per cont. in hours of\nlabor without a reduction of earnings\nfor timo employed, nnd this demnnd is\npronounced impracticable. In this connection the following statement is\nmade: \"Because of Ihe Injury to the\nmines by tho strike of the United Mine\nWorkers the cost, of producing conl has\nboon greatly increased and n temporary\nadvance In prico was made by the company, but It will be Impracticable to\ncontinue such increase when mining\noperations become normal.\"\nEighth, Mr. Baer says his company\nhas no disagreement with any of its\nemployees about the weighing of coal,\nthe quantity is usually determined by\nmeasurement nnd not by weight.\nNinth, replying to the fourth demand\nmnde by Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Baer says\nsince the advent of tbe United Mine\nWorkers' union Into the anthracite\nfields business conditions there have\nbeen intolerable; that the output of the\nmines has decreased; that discipline has\nbeen destroyed, that strikes have been\nof almost daily occurrence; that men\nhnve worked when and as they pleased,\nand the cost of mining has been greatly\nincreased. He also takes the position\nthat the jurisdiction of the company is\nlimited by the coal company presidents,\nwhich excludes the United Mine Workers from any recognition in the proceedings. He says .however, that \"when a\nlabor organization limited to anthracite\nmine workers is created which shall\nobey the law, respect the right of every\nman to work and honestly co-operate\nwith employers, trade agreements may\nbecome practicable.\"\nTHE VELVET MINES.\nFlue Body of High Crude Ore Uncovered\nin No. 5 Level.\nThe new manager of the Velvet mines\nAir. Gray, who recently succeeded Mr,\nSnrreiison in charge of the property has\nwired tlie London office as follows:\n\"Have mado a new discovery in No. 5\nlevel of u line body of high grade ore.\nHove now five feet of ore.\n\"Have received the following returns\nfrom smelter: 51 tons yielded 49 oz. gold,\n\u25a014 oz. silver, 7.071 lb. copper, net proceeds\nfrom smelter $1,080, or an average of\n\u00a34 23.

Tiie arrest wus\nmade at the conclusion of the trial. The\nchief justice remurked: \"It Is clear to my\nmind that some person in tills case is committing perjury. I propose to commit you\n(the defendant) lo the custody of the sheriff to answer to a charge of perjury at the\nnext court of competent jurisdiction In the\ncounty of Vancouver. Mr. Sheriff tnke\nthis man In charge.\" The judge ndded:\n\"There has been too much perjury in thlB\nand other courts and I intend to do all\nUnit ono Judge can do lo stop It.\"\nSTARVED HER PATIENTS.\nMontreal, Nov. 12.\u2014Vlrgino Cobolllo wns\ntodny bound over to stand trial before the\ncourt of king's bench on a charge of\nmanslaughter.
