For instance,\nwhen the man grabbed her as she was\ngetting out of the window, she thinks\nshe must have fainted as she cannot\nremember what happened. She told\nMr. Blackstock that the idea that she\nhad fainted had just come to her. She\ndid not see Ethel and) all the blood un\ntil she came back into the house after\ngoing into the yard. It was then tha1:\nthe man fired at her and she ran out\nof the front, door. The noise that she\nheard when she was upstairs getting\nthe money she took to be an explosion\nof the furnace gag pipe' and she did\nnot connect it with the man downstairs.\nThis finished the examination and the\nInquest was adojurned until next Frl\nday.\nThe Kinrade family have been locked\nout of their house since their return\nfrom Toronto.

Florence Kinrade\nihad been on thP stand for some time\nundergoing a gruelling examination at\nthe hands of (Mr Blackstock. Finally the\nlawyer said slowly and impressively:\n'^Antf if the man was not there only\ntwo girls would be there In the house,\nMiss Klnrade7\" \"Yes.\" \"That will be\nall\" said Mr. Blackstock and the girl\nsank back unconscious. A policeman\nattempted to force water between her\nlips and a trained nurse was hurriedly\nsummoned- Assisted by the constable\nshe started to carry the unconscious girl\nfrom the court room. As they descend\ned tbe steps of the coroner's court room\nthe girl's lips parted and she shrieked\nout: \"I see that man.\" She was carried\nfrom the room reiterating the cry \"the\nman, the man.\"\nThe Jury in the Kinrade Inquest paid\na visit to the Kinrade home yes\nterday, spending nearly an hour there\nand returning to the court house where\nthe Inquiry was reopened at 2:30. No\nnewspaper men were allowed to accom\npany the jury and the only comment\nof foreman Speer aftr the visit was\n\"More mystery than ever,\"\nWhen the Inquiry reopened Washing\nton Woodrldgp, was the first witness\ncalled. He Is coachman for Mrs. Thorn\nson and at the time the tragedy is al\nleged to have occurred, he was sitting\nIn his rig on Herkimer Btreet near the\nKinrade house. He saw Florence Kin\nrade run out of the house but swore\nthat no man left lt. as one must have\ndone If the girl'g story IB correct- A\nlight fall of snow, which was undlsturb\ned, prevented anyone leaving the back\nof the house wlthoue leaving marks.\nEarl Kinrad told of being transferred\nfrom the bank of Commerce in Mont\nreal to Hamilton the day before the\nmurder, arriving home the day after.\nThfi best of feeling prevailed among\nthe members of the family and the two\ngirls had always been on the most af\nfectlonate terms. They were In fact in\nseparable. Florence had' never been\naway from homfi except to sing at two\ntowns in Ontario and on the Virginia\ntrip. 'Mr. Blackstock took a great deal\nof interest in whether Earl Kinrade had\never owned a revolver. He had only\nhad one in the house once about \"two\nor three years ago. It belonged to the\nteller of the bank. He then told about\n'being In the Waldorf hotel with a re\nvolver In his pocket, when it was accl\ndentally discharged, the bullet going\nInto the floor. He lost the revolver\n. down the grating of a fruit store near\nthe postoffice but recovered it again.\nHe then returned It to the bank. He\nhad never heard of Florence having a\nrevolver- He had heard that Florence\nhad used a revolver ln the south, his\nfather having mentioned it, not as a\nmeans of injuring anyone, but just for\nprotection from the colored people. He\nnever heard what she had done with\nthe revolver when she left the south-\nHe understood that the trip to Savan\nnah had been taken, with Miss Elliot\nwho had figured as companion of Flor\nence in different trips to Ontario points\nand who also went with her to Virginia-\nHe did not know Miss Elliot. The fam\nUy had objected to Florence having a\nrevolver on account of her nervous tern\nperament. They did not want any harm\n'to come to her. Later on he denied\nthat Florence had a nervous tempra\nment and declared that if he had said\nso he did not mean it She had always\nseemed to bfi a strong healthy girl. So\nfar as he knew neither he nor any\nother member of the family coulfl\nsupply any clue to the mystery.\nFlorence Kinrade was then recalled\nand the first question Mr. Blackstock\nasked her waB aa to how she had slept\nsince the occurrence. She testified\n\"fairly well,\" but that on one or two\nnights she had taken sleeping powders-\nshe had gone to Savannah accompanied\nby Hiss Elliott and Mr. Warburton, the\nman who Miss Elliott married. This\nevidence was followed hy a close en\nquiry Into Florence's travels through\nwestern Ontario In company with tha\nsame Miss Elliott The answer of most\nof the questions were of a very hazy\ncharacter. Nearly all the men In the\nsouth carried revolvers. Mr. Butler. In\nwhose house she boarded, had one, Mrs\nButler had told her that it was neces\nsary to carry a revolver in order to\nprotect herself. She denied having a\nrevolver when she came hack from the\nsouth. There had been some correspon\n-den-opbetween herself and her family in\nregard to her having the revolver In\nher possession- She, however, dollied\never having fired off the revolver.\nMr. Blackstock then took up Flo\nrence's relations with Jimmy Bauii the\nyoung man whom she had met In Ports\nmouth. Her relations with her si j n>\nEthel* jhad (always been of a meet\nfriendly character and they'had never\nhad any trouble Mr. Blackstoik tiieu\ncame down to the day of the tragedy*\nShe felt sure that Ethel was not out of\nthe house that day.\nFrom this the examination drifted to\nTOBUILDDREADNAUGHTS\nBRITAIN WILL KEEP PACE WITH\nFOREIGN NAMES.\nNO HALT LIKELY IN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION.\nIX)NDON. March 13\u2014The British na\nval estimates Issued last night,\nshows an Increase of close to $15,000.\n000 over the estimate of last year, and\nfully iproves that It Is the government's\ndetermination to keep pace with other\nnaval powers. No halt is likely to be\ncalled in the International competition\nfor superior naval armaments. In addl\ntion to four new Dreadnoughts which\nare to be built as speedily as possible,\nthe government seeks power to start\nbuilding, if necessary, in 1909 four ad\nditlonal large armored vessels. The\ntype of these latter ships Is not Indl\ncated in the estimates, but it Is gener\nally expected that they are to be a type\nbetween cruisers and battleships of the\n\u25a0Dreadnought type. There Is no doubt\nthat this part of the naval program\nwill be dependent upon the reference\nmade In Germany to battleship construe\ntlon- The statement of Reginald Mc\nKenna, first lord of the admiralty, na\nturally makes no reference to foreign\npowers and further light on the govern\nmeat's intention must be awaited un\ntil thp estimates are discussed in par\nllament An interesting part of the\nestimates Is that the admiralty has un\nder consideration thP use of dirigible\nairships for naval purposes and has\ndecided to carry out experiments and\nconstruct nn aerial vessel.\nUnder Mr. McKenna's program Great\nBritain should have by the end of\n1911 fourteen vessels of th Dreadnought\ntype against 13 to be by then complet\ned by Germany. Mr. McKenna's state\nment says that two of the Dreadnoughts\nwill be commenced In July and the other\ntwo In November. It Is also announced\nthat the channel fleet will be .absorbed\ninto the home fleet, which will place\n22 fully manned battleships and 14 fully\nmanned cruisers in home waters.\nChurch Work.\nLONDON, March 13 \u2014 Speaking of\nthe Anglican church prospects in Can\nada, archdeacon Renison gave warm\npraise for the work of the colonial and\ncontinental church society, which\nstands for nothing less than -the per\npetulty of Protestant Christianity\namong the .English speaking people.\nHe told how, In travelling from Liver\n\u25a0pool to London recently, he met the Ca\nnadian government immigration agent\na German, who had built up a pros\nperous home in Canada, and foreseeing\nthe future prosperity of the country\nhad asked the Canadian government\nto appoint him as agent. For the last\nfew years he had been working In his\nnative country In bringing out bands\nof emigrants and settling them in the\nfairest parts of Alberta and Saskatche\nwan. This man told the archdeacon he\nhad instructions to bring only Immi\ngrants of the Catholic faith and bund\nreds of German Roman Catholics were\nbeing planted year by year by the Ca\nnadian government on the great west\nern prairies.

Bennett Describes\nMachine Tactics\nELECTORS HAVE NOCHANCC\nALBERTA GOVERNMENT RUSHES\nELECTION WITH NEW CONSTITUENCIES, NEW BALLOT AND\nNEW POICY WITHOUT TIME\nFOR PROPER DISCUSSION.\n\"Never before In the political history\nof Canada has an election, been forced\non the people under a new election\nact, with new constituencies and a\nnew policy without giving the electors\nany opportunity to discuss the measures upon which they were called upon to pass judgment.\"\nIn the foregoing words R. B. Bennett, barrister and solicitor of Calgary,\nAlberta, and candidate there for the\nAlberta legislature in the conservative\ninterests, summed up the situation in\nthe neighboring province, where the\nliberal government, possessing an\noverwhelming majority in the last legislature, has brought on an election with\nunprecedented short notice to the public. Mr. Bennett was seen by a Daily\nNews reporter at the Strathcona hotel\nhere on Friday and uttered the foregoing words fh answer to a request for\nnews of the Alberta election campaign.\nDiscussing the Alberta example of\nmachine liberalism Mr, Bennett said:\n\"The legislature was prorogued on Feb.\n25 and di-emlssed on Feb. 27. The nominations were set for March 15 and the\nelection for March 22, under the new\nelection act, copies of which have only\njust been placed in the hands of the\npeople, and the terms of which are\nvery imperfectly known, This is the\nfirst election la the province in which\na regular ballot paper Is to be used\nand in which an attempt Is made to\nprepare a voters' list. It Is certain\nthat in a large number of constituencies there is little or no knowledge of\nthe act possessed by the public. Another objection to the haste with which\nthe election lias been brought on is\nthat under the redistribution bill the\nlegislature wll] contain 41 members instead of 25, as heretofore, and the\nboundaries of the new constituencies\nare so framed that in may of them the\npeople are without knowledge of what\nthe boundaries are. The man who had\nbeen talked of as a possible candlate\nprior to February 25 nwoke on 26th to\nfind himself In another constituency ln\nwhich he had no interest and which\nhad no interest in him. e\n\"The Issue presented by the government to the electors Is Its railway\npolicy, under which lt is understood\nthat the province has guaranteed the\nbonds of certain railway companies to\nthe amount of $25,000,000 at 4 and 5\nper cent, interest, payable half yearly,\nwithout securing any control of rates\nexcept in the case of the road from\nEdmonton to Fort McMurray, a distance of 350 miles, for which the\namount guaranteed Is no less than |7,-\n400,000, exclusive of Interest. Furthermore, up to Monday of last week copies\nof the acts creating these obligations\ncould not be obtained and consequently\nno proper Information was available to\nthe public of Alberta.\n\"The members of both political\nparties in the province,\" continued Mr.\nBennett, \"are anxious to assist and\npromote railway development, and I\nthink It Is the universal opinion In Alberta that the public credit should be\npledged for the public benefit, but the\nbusiness community Is particularly anxious to protect Its interests by providing control of rates and In securing\ncompetition In transportation facilities.\nIt is absolutely impossibl for any fair\nminded man to give any reason why\nthe election should be brought on at\nsuch short notice. The government, in\nappealing to the country professes to\nhave an excellent policy and to be perfectly' satisfied, with its record.' Farther-*\nmore it had the support of all the mem-:\nbers of the legislature but two.1 r< Yet.\nIn spite of all this the fact remains\nthat never before In the pollticl history\nof Canada has an election been forced\non the people under a new election\nact, with new constituencies and a new\npolicy without giving the electors any\npossible opportunity to discuss the\nmeasure upon which they are called\nupon to pass judgment.\"\n\u25a0Mr, Bennett's visit to Nelson was\nmade In connection with the appeal\nof the C.

Tlie shareholders gambled for a\ntime over the stock, boosted it up In price\nfor double what It was worth and fancied\nthey were mining. When the crash came\nmany were bitten and blamed mining in\nHrltlsh Columbia for It instead of their\nown foolishness, A few made money out\nof the property in the early days but tlie\nmany didn't and the losers have heen disgusted with mining In this province since\nthe slump until recently, when attention\nIs coming to Slocan once more.\nAlthough we never mentioned It, tbe\n\"Kootenalnn\" had some Inside Information\nabout the Payne several months ago.

While the prospects are not\nas bright as they were for a peaoful\nsettlement there Is still hope that radical action by either side will be avoided. The board will tom.rrow issue a\ncall for a convention of the miners of\nthe anthracite districts, to be held in\none of the mining towns, for the purpose of considering plans for further\naction and then will follow another\nconference with the operators before\nMarch 31, The counter proposition of\nthe mining companies to renew the\npresent agreement for another term of\nthree years will be placed before the\nconvention by the executive boards of\nthe workmen. National president Lewis,\nof the union, said Saturday that the\nsuggestion for another conference came\nfrom the operators. There was but one\nsession of the sub-committee that day\nand It lasted from 2 to 5 p. in.\nNEW YORK, March 13\u2014A statement\nof lhe attitude of the anthracite coal\noperators on the question of recognition of the United Mine Workers of\nAmerica was given out there today by\nthe operators' committee of seven. The\nstatement sets forth that the operators\nwill treat union and non-union men\nalike, and that they will exercise no\ndiscrimination against or in favor of\nany man because of his membership\nor non-membership in any labor organization. The cohimittee declares also\nthat it is absolutely impossible to grant\nthe -demands for Increased wages and\na shorter working day without increasing the price of coal lo the customers..\nThe statement follows: \"Since the\ncoal consumers and the public are\nvitally interested in the maintenance\nof peaceful conditions in the anthracite\nfields, the operators desire to make\nclear their position as declared to the\nmine workers' committee of seven ni\nPhiladelphia.\n\"Prom the statement of Mr. Lewis\nlt appears that he puts most emphasis\nnow upon the question of 'recognition'\n\u2014the question as (o whether the operators shall make a coutract with the\nU. M. W. of A. He says that he and\nhis fellow committeemen where representing the union, and the contract\nsigned by them, except as officers of\nthe union, would be binding upon nobody but themselves as individuals.\n\"In providing for the future, we can\nhave no safer guide than the experience of the past. Never before ln the\nhistory of the anthracite industry have\nbetter labor conditions prevailed, for a\nsimilar period of time, than since the\nanthracite coal strike commission\naward went Into effect six years ago.\nTlie status of the gentleman who\nagreed, on behalf of the employees, to\naccept this award was thus defined on\npage 60 of the official report of the\nstrike commission.\nIt was definitely stated at the first\nmeeting of the commission that the\npresident of the U. M. W. of A. appeared before the commission as the representative of the mine workers in the\nanthracite region. It is true that they\nhave been represented, and ably represented, before the commission by Mr.\nMitchell, but In representing them he\nappeared 'as the representative of the\nanthracite coal mine workers,' and not\nin his official character as president\nof the U. M, W. of A.\n\"Again, in 1906, the committee which\nmet the operators came as representatives of the anthracite mine workers,\nand in that same capacity they signed\nthe agreement for an extension of the\noriginal award of the commission. The\nexact words used ln this 190G agreement were 'It is stipulated between the\nundersigned, in their own behalf, and\nso far as they have powers to represent any other parties in Interest, etc.'\nThere was no mention of the U. M. W.\nof A. The operators are willing to\nfollow the same procedure exactly as\nfollowed In 1906, to enter into an agreement with Mr. Lewis and his committee just as the entered into agreement\nwith the Mitchell committee.\n\"Tho operators have stood in the\npast, and they stand now, for the 'open\nshop.' They will treat union and nonunion men alike. They will exercise\nno discrimination against or In favor\nof nny man because of his membership\nor non-membership In any labor organization.\n\"As to the demands for Increased\nwages and shorter day, It Is absolutely\nImpossible to grant them without Increasing the price of coal to the consumers, This the operators will not\nconsent to do, nor will they even consider It. Under a strict application of\neceonomlc law, the present condition of\nbusiness would compel a reduction in\nstead of an increase in wages, the natural consequence being a Tall in the\nprice of coal. Among the operators\nthere was a strong feeling that such\na reduction of wages should be put into effect, but for lhe sake of stability\nln the anthracite Industry, and from an\nunwillingness to disturb an agreement\nwhich has brought peace, it was decided to offer a renewal of the present\nagreement.'\n\"With the Industries of the country\nin their present state, the anthracite\nmine workers are very fortunate to\nhave such an agreement under which to\nwork. If either side refuse it, it is not\nthe operators but the mine workers.\nPor it is undeniably a fact that the\nemployees of the anthracite mining\ncompanies, compared with other wage\nearners of whom equal skill and training are required, are highly paid. Not\nonly are their minimum earnings fixed\nat a high level, but they r.i'e assured,\nby the sliding scale arrangements, of\na one per cent, increase of the earnings for every increase of five cents\nabove ?4.50 per ton in the price of domestic sizes of anthracite at tidewater.\nAs the prices averaged around 94.85\nlast year the mine workers' earnings\nwere seven per cent, above the minimum fixed by the strike commissioners..\"\nUNDERTHEIR INFLUENCE\nCORON.ER'S JURY GO AFTER\nCHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS.\nATTORNEY GENERAL IS ASKED TO\nINVESTIGATE.\n(Special to Tho Dally News.)\nVANCOUVER, iMarch 13\u2014A coroner's\njury last evening brought in a verdict\nwith reference to the suicide of John\nHarrison here by taking carbolic acid\nThursday.

It was the\nfourth time the honor had been conferred upon Mr. Cannon. But tonight\nneither the selection of a candidate for\nspeaker nor tho vote on the rules was\ncharacterized by the unanimity of party\nfeeling that attended the three preceding caucuses.

Widdowson.\nTh\u00ab recent decision obtained from\nthe United States au-premfi court and\nappearing in a late issue of this paper,\nregarding the Import of. zinc Int\" that\ncountry will give a fresh impulse to\nthe further development of properties\ncontaining that ore in this county and\nwill give added interest to all mining\nmen who have had any dealings with\nthie class of ore. Below will be found\nan article on zinc and the minerals\nwhich contain it. Any prospector cr\nparty Intersted in this metal or fn fact\nany other mineral desiring to send in\nsamples to this office may do so; we\nshall be very pleased to express an opin\nion on the character of the ore sub\nmitted and where advisable will have\nan assay-made, should thP parties de\nsire it. We will make no charge for\nadvice, hut should an assay he required\nthe standard prices of British Columbia\nwill havR to be paid.\n.(Ail parties sending in samples must\nsend 'their names and a letter asking\nany questions which they desire ans\nwered- Replies will he made t0 the\nInitials of the name sent in-\nZINC\u2014Zinc Is a white metal of a\nbluish grey tint somewhat similar to\nlead, but crystallizes out on cooling;\nwhere lead Is always massive; It has a\nlower specific gravity than lead; it is\nhard and is acled upon with difficulty by\na file; it is as tough and requires con\nslderable force to break it when in\nlarge masses; at a tempratur of about\n300 Farht. it is malleable and easily\nshaped into any required position. At a\ntemperature of 750 Fahrt. it fuses and\nin case of any oxygen being present it\ndistils over in the form of the oxide.\nThe present process adopted for smelt\ning zinc ores entirely does away w':h\nthe presence of oxygen so that a low\ntemperaturR as noted above zinc can\nbe obtained at a very low commercial\nrate, the method being by means of\nelectricity in a closed furnace. One of\nthe most important uses of zinc regard\nIng this country Is its use In the reffn\ning of copper by the electroyltic process\nThe further uses of the metal are chief\nly alloys of copper, commonly termed\nhrass. galvanized Iron and Bheet zinc;\nvarious combinations are also used in\nmedicine, being very strong antiseptics,\nZinc is nqt found In Its metallic\nstate; the chief sources from which it is\nobtained are zinc sulphide (or zinc\nblende, or blackjack, as commonly term\ned by mining men. Zinc carbonate (or\nSmlthsonlte) and zinc silicate (or Gala\nmine)\nAs far as this district is concerned\nthe first Is about the only form in\nwhich It appears,; in nearly every in\nstance where zinc blende has been diJ\ncovered the surface showings havP al\nways been galena, but with depth this\nhas changed Into blende; many in\nstance of this can be pointed out in the\nSlocan district. This change from tne\ngalena to blende was noted in the Min\nira mine near Wrexham. In Wales- The\nproperty was operated In the early Ro\nman periods for lead but later has been\na zinc producer on]:*.\nSpahlirite or Zinc Blende\u2014This min\neral consists of approximately 67 per*\ncent zinc and 33 per cent sulphur, but\nnearly always the mineral contains\neither Iron, manganes or cadmium, lt\nhas a hardness of about 4 and a specific\ngrfivlty ,of 3.9; its lustre lis .either\nresinous or glassy, the fracture varies\nconsiderably more often than not being\nuneven, the color of the mineral Is chief\nly brown or black, sometimes yellow,\nwith an occasional occurrence of it he\ning red, green or white, when contain\ning no Impurities it is always white,\nthe streak always follows the color of\nthe mineral. This mineral is the chief\nsource of the zinc produced in British\nColumbia, large bodies of it being found\nin various parts of the country notably\nat the Lucky Jim mine. Sandon where\nsome of the highest grade blende known\nhas been turned out.\nThe Ruth mine, Sandon; the Whlta\nwater mine, several properties in the\nLardo and also in the Ymir district.\nOmithsonite or Carbonate of Zinc\u2014\nContains about 65 per cent zinc, the col\nor is usually white, varying according\nto its adulterants from a green to a\nblue or a brown, its streak is always\nwhite. Its hardness is -6, its specific\ngravity 4.4, its lustre glassy. Occasion\nally the mineral is found in this dis\ntrict on the surface when with depth\nzinc blende is afterwards obtained.\nCalamine or Silicate of Zinc\u2014This\n\u2022mineral contains 66 per cent of zinc\noxidp and though these is no known big\nquantities In British Columbia it Is one\nof the chief sources of production in\nthe Joplin district, Missouri. *The great\nadvantage of this mineral is the ab\nseiicR of any contaminating impurities\nfrom a large series of assay runs there\nwere only one or two cases in which\ncadmium or manganese occurred; the\nmineral has a specific gravity of 3.5\nand a hardness of 4.5, a glassy lustre,\nsometimes pearly, the color is nearly\nalways white but sometimes with a lit\ntie bluish or greenish tinge, the streak\nis always white.\nWlllemlte is another silicate of zinc,\ncontaining about 73 per cent of zinc\noxide, it has a resinous lustre, color\nvarying from white to yellow and has\nbeen found ln this district, a flesh\ncolored red. streak Ib uncolored, Its\nhardness and specific gravity are ap\nproximately the same as calamine-\nCORRESPONDENCE\nT.A.M., Nelson\u2014The following sug\ngestion has been received: That the\nseries of articles now running in your\ncolumns would make very useful and\ninteresting text books for the general\nrun of prospectors if they were to cut\nthem out every week as they appear\nand paste them together in some con\nvenient form for future reference- The\nwriter considers the articles -valuauble\nand Instructive and thinks they will be\nlooked forward to every week by a very\nconsiderable number of your readers.\nG.

D. Malty, who came here fro mPrlnce Albert\nearly this year for the purpose of\ndealing in South African scrip, has recently departed, leaving no address. As\nhe has done quite a business in scrip,\nchiefly in the line of accepting pay\nments on account for scrip which he\nundertook to deliver by; certain dates,\nand has not. delivered it, a warrant\nhas bPen sworn out for his arrest. Apparently Maby was selling short and\nsucceeded in getting caught by the recent decided advance in the value of\nscrip. Being -financially unable to fulfill his obligations he absconded. In a\nletter, which he sent to a local firm,\nthe missing man states that he is going to South Africa to pick up scrip\nthere. No serious significance Is attached to this.

McMORRIS Manager\nA TENNE3SEE JURY.\nThe absurdity to which the law is\noften reduced in the United States is\nwell illustrated by the Carmack murder\ntrial in Tennessee. According to the\nruling of the court only Illiterates were\neligible for the jury in the trial of the\nmen accused of murdering senator Car\nmack- In these days practically every\none who can read at all reads the P&\n!>ers and according to the ruling of tbe\ncourt anyone who had read of the\ncrime in the newspapers was Ineligible\nto sit as a juror. This practically con\nfined the list from which the jurors\ncould be selected to those who could\nnot read.\nHow it worked out that anyone who\nhad read of the case In the papers is\ninteresting. It was held that any one\nwho had talked with a witness of the\ncrime or with any one who had talked\nwith a person who had talked with a\nwitness was ineligible to serve as a\njuror in the case- In the preliminary\nsteps of the case the newspapers had\nprinted verbatim reports of the evi\ndence- According to the appreme court\nthis made the newspapers persons who\nhad talked with a witness. Therefore,\nevery one who had read the evidnce in\nthe newspapers became incompetent to\nserve as jurors.\nAs a result of this ruling it became\nnecessary to summon 3019 men before\na jury was secured. Of ihe twelve men\nfinally selected, four could neither read\nnor write and two had but a most im\nperfect knowledge of English. All ex\ncept one of them swore that he bad\nnot read a paper since the crime and\nthe twelfth was out of ihe state from a\nweek before the murder until the day\nlie was summoned as a juror.\nThis was the kind ot a jury that\nthe state of Tennessee providd for tlie\nhearing of one of the most Important\nmurder trials that has ever taken place\nIn the state- How an intelligent vox\ndiet could be secured from such a jury\nit is hard to see. The ruling under\nwhich this travesty on justice was\nbrought about are, to say the least,\nmost remarkable. They bring the jury\nsystem into undeserved reproach and\nmake a laughing stock of the \"admIntegra\ntlon of justice in Tennessee.\nFLYING THE FLAG.\nThe Toronto News in a recent issue\npublished a timely article on the HyihS\nof the flag in Canada. The News takes\nthe stand that in view of the influx of\nso many foreigners every means' pos\nsible should he taken to inculcate loy\nally to the country and love of the\nflag among these newcomers. As a\nmeans to this end it suggests that the\nflag should be flown every day from\nevery dominion, provincial and mnnlci\npal public building in the country.\nTh.. suggestion Is a good one. The\nnew comers should be made familiar\nwith the flag. The -Manitoba govern\nment took a step in the right direction\n\"hen they decided that, the flag should\nbe flown from every public school every\nschool day and British Columbia and\nother provinces have acted wisely In\nfollowing this example. The children\nare thus being taught to recognize and\nto honor the flag of the country of\ntheir parents* adoption. The flying of\nthe flag from alt public buildings Is but\nanother step in this direction- In this\nprovince, it is gratifying to state, the\nflag flies from most, if not all the pro\nvincial buildings, but the same cannot\nbe said regarding . the municipal and\ndominion buildings- This Is a matter\nthat might well be taken up bv the\nvarious patriotic organizations.\nThe display of the flag alone, how\never, is not going to secure the end de\nslrd. the inculcation of loyalty among\nthe newcomers and their children.\nBoth must be taught what the flag\nstands for. in the case of the children\nthis can be done to a certain extent in\nthe schools. But there are many other\nways in wliich this can be accomplished\neven more effectively. One of these Is\nby educating the new comers to the\nfact that the flag stands for British\nfair play for one and all- They must be\nbrought to realize that there Is justice\nfor every one in the courts of the land,\nand public affairs should be so conduct\ned as to lead them to respect the free\ninstitutions of which the flag is repre\nsentatlve. It is most Important that\nthe new comers should be educated\nalong these lines. As far as the admin\n\u25a0stratum of justice is concerned this is\nbeing done, but what is being done to\nInspire in them high Ideals in respect\nto public life? Let loyal Canadians ask\nthemselves this question and let each\nanswer It for himself. Without a pro\nper training in this direction flag fly\nIng will not accomplish much toward\ndeveloping among the foreign popula\ntion of the country and their descen\ndants that love of Canada aud pride\nIn her institutions that it is so neces\nsary should be inculcated.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nThe Victoria Times has had, plans\nprepared for a fine new five story block.\nTimes must be prosperous in thfl capl\ntal.\nTh Calgary News says that Mr, R.\nB. Bennett, one of the conservative can\ndidates in that city, Is not responsible\nfor the fact that the Eye Opener Is sup\nporting him. The News does not say,\nhowever, whether thP liberal candidates\nare responsible for the fact that it is\nsupporting them. The proprietor of The\nNews a few months ago was convicted\nof libelling the editor of the Eye\nOpener. It may be said that the libel\nin Question was a more filthy produc\ntion than anything that ever appeared\nin the tEj'e Opener.\nEven the Toronto Globe can. at times,\nsee the danger to Canada arising from\nthe admission to this country of Asia\ntics, particularly of Japanese. In a re\ncent number it said: \"Salmon fishing\nin thp Canadian waters about Vancou\nver island has passed almost entirely\ninto tlie hands of Japanese, it is an\nopen secret that Canadians are timid\nabout fishing at night among the orien\ntals. who were first employed to cut\ndown fishermen's returns. It has lately\nbeen rumored that Japanese business\nmen would seek to control th canning\nindustry and thus absorb the business\nas well as the labor.\"\nSays the Ottawa Journal: \"Again\nthere is reason to criticize the small\nness of the attendance In parliament\nparticularly on the liberal side.

You\nsmack your lips at the exquisite flavor\nof the fruit, fre-sh eggs and cream\n(only such can be raised In the highland countries), but yon were looking\ntoo high when wour train stopped at\nthe station; you did not know it was\na Btatlon; how should you know?\nYou did not see the signboard, the\nonly indication of a station; not a\nshed, not a platform, but It Is a duly\nscheduled official station, the sole and\nundivided property of a great and almost omnipotent corporation, which\nowns ? great amount of property of\nsimilar nature, which looks well on\nscheduler, and Is sometimes useful in\nIrrigator;- stocks und fructifying the\nshare market.\nYou did not see the poorly clad\nwomen with intellectual, patrician\nfeatures, in company with her flaxen-\nhaired child, stand shivering at the\nimaginary station awaiting for hours\nthe arrival of the train to deliver delicacies she raised, hut could 111 afford\nto eat; you did not see the poor, shivering creature bravely keeping back\nthe welling tears until her task was\ndone; your train had passed and she\ncould give free vent to her grief, Of\nwhat concern is her suffering to the\nrailway magnates? Listen! Once Uie\nmainstay of her happy home were a\nsmall herd of milch cows; your trains\nhad mercilessly destroyed them and\nthe last pet one had recently gone the\nsame way.\nYou old not know that once that\nwoman was the darling child in a\nluxurious home, became the bride of\na man filled with the daring spirit of\nthe Saxou race, Such as he has conquered half the world and bestowed\njustice und fair play in the place of\noppression to the suffering millions,\nwhether black, yellow or white, You\ndid not know that he was one of the\nvictims cl the absorbing octopus\nwhose eniaciotis maw is never satisfied an! whose tentacles are stretched\nthroughout the length and breadth of\nthis land, squeezing out the very life\nblood even of those who fed and\nnursed the Infant monster when it\nemerged from embryo. Induced by\nthe glowing advertisements, telling\nof tbe gloilous free land, tree range\nfor cattlo and other stock, the settler,\npoor in ul but hope and faith, one of\nthe pioneers in advance of the Fteel\nroad, omeied the country by wagon\nroad, hewed for himself aud family a\nhome tit the primeval forest, your corporation robbed him of his means of\ntranspoi lation to market hy destroying th.-> public road, robbed him of his\nfree rango ior his cattle, killed his\ncattle, killed his horses and refused\nthe smallest recompense.\nYour subordinates have cut off lhe\nwater supplying ranchers for domestic and irrigation purposes and have\nbeen appealed to in vain, and when I\nlaid your ease before tbe railway commissioners your lawyers pleaded and\noffered the lilmsy excuse that they\nhad not had sufficient notice, and the\nsame with several other complaints.\nThe capital stock of some poor farmer\nwaB principally in one pair of work\noxen, with which he cultivated his\nland. Your trains killed one and the\npoor fellow has not means to purchase\nanother to replace It.\nOne man had a pair of horses, turned\nthem out. on the \"free range\" to graze,\nonP was missing, and he and his son\nwere hunting for weeks under the impression that it had strayed away,\nwhen a prospector, who was passing,\nInformed him that hP saw your section men burying the animal weeks\nsince, your men having Instructions\napparently to have such things put out\nof sight as quickly as possible. Such\nactions should not be permitted, and\ncould easily be obviated if your subordinates would listen to and act upon\nreasonable suggestions, and I can assure you that if the samP ,were accepted it would prove 'Profitable and\nmuch more economical t0 your company than driving tlie vhtims to seek\nredress before the great rlbunal so\nwisely selected by parliament to protect the suffering people.\nWe all acknowledge the great factor\nyour company has been In the develop\nment and progress of Canada, and regret very much having to resort to\ndrastic measures to obtain a small\nmeasure of justice; the organization of\nyour great system \"has earned the admiration of the world.
