When even Hfe-long Cornier vatlveB admit that Mr. Mclnnes is without doubt the best man that could p'oeelbly be chosen to represent Ihe district ol North' tfanaimo In the Provincial Ap- sembly, and more especially ass cabinet minister, it is sorely time for the met of us to believe that Hon. Mr. Melnnee does poseesB qualifications for the. pofil which should render his return certain. When the provincial secretary visited Ladyamith last Wednesday lm got & reception which must havo proved to him tbat here, at least, where the grcai majority of the voters of North Nanaimo live, he need be in no doubt as to the returning officer's report on the 15th inetant. Alt who are in close touch with thi- situation in the district are uiiftnimon--* that there ie not a man strong enongh to defeatjHon. Mr. Mclnnes, It wuuld be a pity if there were, because very few men indeed have been so clearly destined for tbe great and Important work of legislating for a people than the gift' .ed young man whom the electors cl North Nanalmo are going to send down again to tbat House to work not olom In their interests but in the interests of the people of British Columbia. He be* done work for North Nanalmo, ae well ae for the Province, which'ehould entitle him forever to the grateful '.-omid* eratlon of the people. Ho will be In a better position to conlii'ii'"- tbie fraud •ervice,'1 Nent down.to Victoria in hie capacity an cabinet-minister, thn holder of perhaps tbe mast important portfolio in the government; at any'rata one (hat entails an enormcus amount of haul work and which calls for the highest- intelligence. Hon. Mr. Melnnes has the inestimable qualities nf vigorous young manhood; quito exceplionnl flbfllWf'&s a apeaker he line no superior In thia province, and he has a splendid head for business; a clear, discerning bend, capable of understanding problems of elate, Then, was man ever more good naturml and genial, except it lie Sir Wilfrid ol the sunny Bmtle7 Not sour, narrow -minded, mean or vindictive, Hon. Mr. Mclnnes is it man whom thB electors of. North Nanaimo ought to be proud to have ae their representative, It stands to reason that tn this rushing, vigorous ago, when young men are being called ,in to fill positions which bave been the einor.ure from time immemorial of iiii'n who lind lafely turned their grand climacteric, hat a district liko North Nanalmo ihould desire to be represented by a Keir Hat die arrested in Belgium as an flniirchtflt is the joke of the season iieror-B tlie water. Ills pointed out that Mr. Harditt'e complaint is invalid because when arrested he wae wearing a red tie and a black slouch hat. What policeman could eland tlio like of that ? A few weeks bcforo he passed away the Iiev. Hugh Price Hughes was interviewed by a London reporter, wbo had often interviewed him before.

Thn Leader hopes that the Kbininder will have a long and prosperous career, nud thai it will not meet wilb tbe cold and biting blasts which lay so mauy secular newspapers in an early grave. Finland ie boing rapidly depopulated because ol tho brutal regulations of the li'.iM-Lui Government. From January to September of this year, according to official statistics 17,270 Finns have etui- grated, principally to the United States and Canada. In the years 181)1-98—that te, before RuBnia broke through all the solemn pledgee and conventions, and began to crush Iho Finlnnders uuder her iron heel, the avenge emigration for tho same period was only 3,378. This year many lade of conscription age hnvo slipped out without, being recorded in the emigration returns.
