The hitter is\nmore probably the fact, Ministers\nwould be glad tn listen to any information that bore on the question, and\nif they did not consider the greater\nadvantages of Nelson it was because\nthe one person who was specially\nelected to look after our interests\nneglected his duty or was without\ninfluence in the discharge of it. The\nSchool of Mines is going to Hosslaml,\nnni because Rossland has better claims\nthun ^Nclsnn, but because Nelson's\nmember failed in presenting thc claims\nof this cily, while there were those to\nrepresent Rossland Who had zeal\nenough to look after its interests. A\nmistake is being made, to the loss of\nthis city, and it is due to thc fact of\nthat other mistake in electing as our\nmember a man who, from character\nand disposition, was bound to be\nwithout influence, and who, from\nInclination, is earnest only in the\npursuit of aims to benefit himself.\nIt is necessary that Ministers should\nyet be informed that a mistake is h\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-\nlng made in locating the School of\nMines at Unsslaml. We are not conscious of any feeling of jealousy towards thai city. In Nelson, so fnr\nas we know,there is nothing but good\nwill for it. We are glad to hear of\nanything that is calculated to advance\nits Interests or to add to its prosperity.\nNelsun Is not jealous of Kossland, for\nthe good reason that it has the most\nunbounded confidence In its own superiority, Rossland has been a sue-\ncessful mining camp, ami Increased\niis population by leaps ami bounds\nwhile Nolson was experiencing the\nslower growth of legitimate commercial development, In the matter of\npopulation Rossland has probably\nsum,- advantage yet, but nn man with\nIntelligence enough in count two who\nhas knowledge nf tbe circumstances\ncan doubt fur a moment Hint Nelsun\nis steadily outstripping Hosslaud in\neverything Unit cues tu make a large.\nprosperous, ami abiding city, It isdo-\ning this because it commands the\ntrade nf ibe wliulc nf Southern liritisli\nColumbia, ami it commands the trade\nbecause- it is Ihe natural centre of all\nthe Interests thai are building up this\nSection uf country, Ami being such n\ncentre, it is the proper place for the\nproposed Bchool uf Mines, if Ministers du nut understand this, it is time\nthey did: anil if wc had elected\na mure capable member they wonld\nhave been Informed of il.\nami more necessary work of admlnls*|\ntr at Ion 1 and the country given a complete rest from political excitement.\nThey want to settle down to business,\nand as lung as onr legislators are in\nsession there is the danger of some\nfresh excitement, There bus been\nmite enough of that to serve us for\nthe next four years.
