"The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News."@en . ""@en .

There\nis need of reform in the administration of affairs in this city, aud there\nnre strong reasons why the citizens\nshould at once set about the work.\nThe business of the city should be\nconducted on business principles and\nat present that is far from boing Ihe\ncase. The men in control of affairs\nact as if they were in no way responsible to the ratepayers and that they\nart in office to carry on public business not to meet public requirements,\nbut merely to suit their own ideas and\nto serve their own ends. There are two\nmen in the council who have tried to\nassert their independence of coercive\ncontrol, but they have been unable to\ncarry out their views as to what the\nadministration should be, an opposing\nmajority that has no regard whatever\nfor public opinion, being too much\nfor them.\nThe electrio light scandal is enough\nto convince the citizens that their\naffairs are in bad and untrustworthy\nhands. The mayor of tho oity is interested in the electric light company\nand he was the chief instrument in\nforcing through tho council the sale\nto the oity of tho company's effects at\na price far in etcess of what* any sane\nman would offer for tho property. And\nnotwithstanding that the courts sot\naside the by-law and vitiated the sale\non the grounds of the mayor's illegal\nposition in tho affair, he continues his\nconnection with the company and has\ncarried through the council a resolution to appeal the case. This questionable conduct ou tho part of a mayor\nwould not be .tolerated in any well\norganized community for a day and it\nhas become intolerable in this city.\nA mau of honor who iu auy way valued publio respect would not occupy\nthis position. He would either resign\nfrom the mayoralty or sever his connection wich the company, upon his\nconnection with which Justice Walkem\nbased his quashing of the electric light\nby law.\nThe people of Nelson have endured\nfor some years the very objectionable\nmunicipal government thrust upon\nthem, in the hope that time would\nwork a remedy and afford them relief,\nbut it is plain that their forbearance\nhas beeu mistaken for weakness aud\nthat this objectionable government\nwill continue indefinitely unless they\nrouse themselves to action. The city\nis attracting attention from all quarters as the most important placo in\nSouthern British Columbia and business of all kinds will find its way hoie\niu tho near futuro. It will not do to\nhave it go abroad that tho govcrunient\nof tho city is not in safe hands, and\ntho sooner the change is mado the\nbetter. Tho credit of this city cannot\nbe hazarded that slip-shod methods of\nmanagement may prevail.\nEvery citizen of Nelson should, there-'\nfore, bbo thnt his name is on tho \"ot-\ners' list and that all of his rates, particularly the road tax, are paid. He\nwill then be iu a position to assert\nhimself at the polls and leud a hand in\nelecting a mayor aud couucil that will\nbe creditable to the city.\npersonal mention. i^mmmmnfmitmfmiTfmm^fmmmmmwmmnFmm^\n^ARTHUR R.

Cochrane-\nOttawa, Oct. 28.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAmong tho many\nsubjects of cuirmt political controversy and criticism there is perhaps none\nupou which greater and more honest\nmisunderstanding appears to exist\nthan that of the attitude of the Liberal\nparty upon the question of tariff reform. The Liberal party in Canada,\nas iu the old country, has always been\nthoroughly identified with the inalienable principles of free trade, and the\nlocal conditions that have compelled a\nmodification thereof have been submitted to as a matter of necessity and\nnever ot choice. When therefore (he\nLiberal speakers and writers havo declared their unshaken fidelity to free\ntrade they have declared for the principles and for their fealty thereto, both\npersonally antt as party representatives,\nand wheu they have declared for a\nmodification of thpse principles in the\nfield of practical politics, they have\nsimply recognized aud submitted to the\ninexorable logic of the then prerniling\nconditions.\nA CONSISTENT POLIOY.\nThere is nothing incousistent in\nsuch a position ; it is the attitude of\nall practical men.\nUpon every live issue with scarcely\nan exception the policy of auy mau\nor any party, if it is worth calling\na policy at all, is teutative aud pro\ngressive, moving as the world moves,\nprogressing as conditions advance.\nIt is scarcely likely that any student or even fairly close observer of\nevents will question this in thoory,\nbut many fail to apply the principles\npractically. For instance, it lias been\ndeclared weekly, aud almost daily\nduring the past two weeks that (he\nliberal party has gono back upon the\nposition it to<:k prior to the general\nelection in 1896, when it is asserted\nthat it declared for free trade. The\npremier and other prominent meml ers\nof the government have been quotod\nand misquoted iu support of this contention, the position of the critics\nbeing accuvatoly sum mod up in a sentence by Professor Goldwin Smith in a\npublishedjarticle a fow days ago when\nhe asserts that \"at the time of the\nelection we heard a great deal about*\nfree trade aud very little about neres-\ns:iry caution and delay.''\nDOWN IN BLACK AND WHITE.\nThis is not an acourate statement\nof the facts, as may be see by reference to the proceedings of the liberal\nconvention in Ottawa which formulated the platform upon wliich that\nelection was fought. Thore is no mention of free trade there, the fact being\nrecognized that such an ideal condition was impossible under existing\ncircumstances in Canada; but what\nwas declared for was, \"the adoption\nof a sound fiscal policy which, while\nnot doing injustice to any class would\npromote domestic aud foreign trade\nand hasten the return of prosperity to\nonr people ; aud to that end the tariff\nshould be reduced to the needs ot\nhonest, economical and efficient government. \" Such was the declaration\nof faith, reduced to black aud white\niu June J803, upon which the election\ncampaign in the spring of 1800 was\nconducted, upon which the election\ncampaign of June 1896 was fought aud\nby which the policy of the government since its accession to power has\nbeen guided aud governed ; such is the\ndeclaration of faith of the liberal party\nin October 1898, and such will it be to\nthe eud of the chapter.\nIT MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS.\nIt meets 'all possible contingencies\nthat auy houest government should be\ncalled upon to meet. As conditions\nimprove and tho industries of the\ncountry recover from the perusicious\neffects of artificial protootion, nud as\nthe country increases and develops\nwith tho naturally resultant prosperity, moro reductions may , be put iuto\neffect. The \"needs of houost, economical and efficient, government\" will\nbe less dependent upon the tariff, ns\nthe natiural resources of the country\ndevelop, and tho \"sound fiscal policy\"\nwill adapt itself to tho improved conditions and will carry the [country\nnearer and nearer to its ultimate goal\nof free trade.\nThis is tho common sense position\nfor any government to take, this is\nand always has been tho position of\nthe liberal party, this is the policy\nwhich has so materially augumentod\nthe present wave of prosperity and development, ' this polioy will assist in\nestablishing that prosperity as the\npermanent, aud notJJ tho exceptional\ncondition of the country.\nNOVEL ELECTION CHARGES.\nThe counter charges filed by the liberal member-elect in East Northumberland against Dr.; W. A.'Willough-\nby, the late conservative member, aud\ndefeated candidate of tho last election,\ncontain several personal allegations\nagainst the doctor as startling and as\nserious as have ever been sworn to in\nan election trial. It is alleged for ex- ]\nample that in more than one part of ,\nthe constituency, on the night before\nthe election, there was a general\nround-up of doubtful voters, aud that\nliquor, which had been previously j\n(Hugged uuder the candidate's person\nal ^superivsiou, was freely distributed.\nThere are not a few liberals who know\nand respect Dr. Willoughby as a mau. '\nwho sincerely hope that thero may be .\njust as much, and no moro, fouuda- '\ntion for theso personal charges than !\nthere was for the 110,000 corruption '\nfend yarn, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD I\nTHE BEST ON RECORD. |\nThe well known mercantile agency j\nof R.

While\na very few heavy failures swell the aggregate for the last quarter, those in\nreal estate, brokerage or, speculation\nalono counting more than 11| per\ncent of the aggregate, with as much\nmore in operations not at all reflecting\nthe geueral state of business,' the aggregate was nevertheless smaller than\niu any other month covered by our\nreturns for many branches of business. In some branches the failures in\nSeptember or August were the smallest\nin uny month and also in manv others,\n'' the failures for the quarter were the\nsmallest in any quarter. \"\nDEATH OP REV. DR. COCHRANE.\nBy the unexpected and universally\nregretted death of Rev. William\nCochraue, D. D., of Brantford, Canada loses a most estimable citizen,\nand the Presbyterian churoh a valued\nand much beloved leader. Dr. Cochrane was known from Halifax to Victoria, and in fact far beyond the confines of the Dominion; and wherever\nhe went, his bright cheery personality, and keen business acumen, made\nhis reputation among those with whom\nhe was brought in contact. His busy\nlife has been fruitful of good works,\nand whether as a churchman or a citizen, a preacher or n teacher, he has,\nfor longer thau the natural term of\none generation, stood foremost in his\nchurch aud in the land of his adoption.\nNEW BOOKS\ns-ssssse-s eft-sss-se-ss-Sttses-ssi\nThe Day's Work\nKipling\nRoden's Corner\nMerreman\nIn Golden Shakles\nAlien\nFortune's Gate\nSt. Aubyn\nThe Fatal Gift Frankford Moore\nSecond Thoughts of an Idle\nFellow - Jerome K.
