SMITH Former Makes a Correction and An Assertion That tho Latter. Is No Washington. Editor Standard: I Dear Sir,—In my letter of a few weeks ago, 1 named several people who woro in various ways connected with tho different co-operative stores in Nunaimo. As Mr. Ralph Smith's lctter in your last issue indicates, I made tho mistake of stating that that gentleman was "in ut tho killing" of Co-operative Store No. 1. In justice to Mr. Smith, 1 am veiv glad to mako tlio correction. It <wus with tho obsequies of Store No. 2 that ho .was connected, My mistake uroso (owing to a misunderstanding of the import of an uncomfortable holy hour which Mr. Smith suffered nt tho hands of a Nanaimo merchant, some flvo years ago. Tho tatter caught Mr. Smith aboard tlie S. S. .loan, whero- there could be no running away. The billlgeront spirit in which Mr. Smith writes, indicates that he docs not lovo the undersigned any hotter than a good Christian is supposed to love his nolghbour." It is cortainly truo that I grasp overy convenient opportunity to . pay such little attentions to Mr. Smith, as the occasion may demand. I may further add that I huve overy intention of continuing to do so iu tho future. I am vory sorry, but owing to the nature of the case, what little time I can spare to Mr. Smith's cavorting will bo spent in this neighborhood and not down at Ottawa, hence my "attacks" will, in Mr. Smith's opinion, continue to bo a long way off." The gingerly nature of Mr. Smith's feelings suggests to me. the idea that to the man whose usefulness is of Gossamer proportions, every opponent becomes an Imp of perdition. Evidently believing that I had knowingly given him a hand in Cooperative wreck No, 1, instead of No. 2, Mr. Smith decided to work along the lines of the good, old law, "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," so he makes the following remarkable statement: "I have hud to correct him (myself) in the presence of men whom he had slandered and belled, when he had the AUDACITY to swear to MY FACE, (Mr. Smith does not stato which one), that ho had novor said anything about him." When a person makes" a misstatement there is usually the possibility that the person so doing hus beon misinformed, has imperfectly understood, or In somo other caroless way come to the opinion that his statements are correct. No such excuse is open to Mr. Smith in this case. This imposes upon me the unpleasant duty of stating that Ralph Smith, M. P. has wilfully and deliberately lied. I am glad to state that I have never had occasion to write this of any other man. The circumstance of which tho gentleman writes iu the plural number, waB as follows: In communications to the Nanaimo Herald, 1 had, on more than one occasion, pointed out how every movement for the betterment of tho working class had been scuttled by the Liberal party, tho method being to buy off the loaders of tho workors with a Government job. In proof of this I instanced Jury, Apploby, Uremnor, O'Donou- ghou and others, all of whom hud been active Trade Union lenders and all of whom became bunco-steersmen for tho Liberal party when glvon a government job, Chancing to meet O'Donoughou and Smith in tho Herald ofllco, Smith promptly accused mo of boing a labor fakir, I replied thut up to that time I had never used that epithet In writing of Mr. O'Donoughou or anv other man. Smith intimated in his usual bombastic style, that he would provo by thc files of tbe Herald that I hail done so. Some one in the office nt Smith's request, commenced a soorch of tho flic. Ho is probublv searching yot. In any ovont tho proofs woro not forthcoming. Tho argument then simmered down to the question of to what oxtont did O'Donoughou's job tie him down to doing tho bidding of the Liberal Party. In this, instead of denying that I "had said anything about thom," I reiterated all, and moro that I had written of the man. Tho interview ended with O'Donoughou protesting thnt he was free In political matters to do as hc .choose, whilo I insisted thut if ho did not happen to "choose" to do'those things that lay in lino with tho re quircments of tho Liberal Party hls JOB wouldn't lust long. Such are tho facts of this Incident, but if Ralph Smith is anxious to be mado a public liar 1 can submit satisfactory proofs of tho Impossibility of his statement being true. Mr. Smith hns suddonly derided that ho would liko my company on tho platform. There will bo no trouble whatevor about this, the trouble so far has boen to catch tho Gentleman, I wont no bettor ovldon** co that he realises that ho Is boing cornered. It will bo a- pleasure to mo to havo tho opportunity to inquire how many moro timos that union label bill has to be passed. 1 also want to know what would bo the present consequence If tho Miners of Fornle and Nnnalmo had sent agents to the Old Country to Induce Miners to come to D. C. ns Mr. Smith advised thom to do six months ago. I also wont to know which Corporation originated this scheme, I would also like to know what Smith knows about that evil smelling olectlon down in London, Ontario. I would also like to know what size of a micrascopo a person would require to determine from his actions that Smith was electod as a labor representative—Thoro are a host of things that I would lie glad of an opportunity to ask Mr. Smith about.

In individual work Victoria certainly played the better game. The large crowd which camo out to see tbe football watched the ladies until within the lust twenty minutes, when their eyes were all turned the other way, only about a dozen staying with the hockey. It was not long aftor the opening when the red blouses scored goal. Miss Hall putting it through easily. The complimont was almost immediately returned by Nanaimo, who crowded around the goal until tbe ball waa sent through. Victoria's second was fairly pushed through over the body ol the goal keeper, who was knocked over as she valiantly defended her position. This was all the scoring that was done in the lirst hair, although the No- naimos made a determined rush and had it not been thut the ball went; Just over the goal line near tbe liosls thoy would have added another point, After half time the crowds increased until the football commenced when even the hockey players themselves seemed to slacken off. Tbs Victorias scored two goals. Then Nanaimo came to themselves somewhat and put up their last point. As soon aa possible tbey put on their wraps and ware out to see the loot, ball. ■ ♦ EXHIBITION MATCH DRAWN. Nanaimo, April 18, Tbt exhibition match between the 'thistles and United, played yesterday at the cricket field, resulted ln a draw, two goals each, Both sides played intermediate men, and the locals did not exert themselves to any great extent, us a result of Saturday's hard game, and tho one ln front of them en Wednesday. Tb* locals took the field minus Hooper, Sawyer, Hewitt and Bradshaw, their places boing taken by Walker in goal, Bowcn at full back, Snowdon at half back and Peters ln tb* centre forward position. The mainland champions came ovor minus Gunzon, Nellson, Forrest and Warburton, the places of these star men being taken by Bonnie at left back, Feouey and McKenzle at 1 half, and Steele at Inside left. The Thistles commenced early to attack, keeping up thc pressure, with occasional break* by the locals, for minutes, when Mitchell tht local back* and shot. fast combination by the wings from tho inside mon brought the play down whore Blundell passed and C'rooky iput In a pretty shot that boat Rogers. Nanaimo attacked protty fnxiuontly and Rogers wos 1, At ono time he cleared, when it npnonred as though the ball .lust wont a foot In the' goal by the post. In the second half even play ensued all through. The visitors' attack was never able to get through the local's defence, where Walker on the last line wa* keeping a good goal. Nanaimo, was not to be beaten und Crulckshanks surprised Rogers with as pretty a shot aa could bo wished for, the ball going rapidly in close to the post. Strainge played a steady gome and Mitchell was noticeable for his unselfish passing. The Sponco brothers were also good, but Graham was secure, Farmor was strong, Harley as tireless as ever, Blundell and Crooky and Mitchell were the most conspicuous of the for wards, but the others did not exert themselves. t WORK STARTED TODAY ON 0.

Ur. Borden alao protested against tbt narrow scope of Judge Casael's Inquiry. Tne commissioners condemned more thon one department. Only one Is to be Investigated by the Judge. Charges of negligence, extravagance, incompetence, and favoritism, of bad discipline and bad direction, as well as of dishonesty, were niadoiby the commission. Judo* Cassels la asked to Investigate only the charges against the honesty of the stall. The Judge will und himself beaded ofl ln tbe investigation, inquiry, which the government, like the committee on the Arctic limited to the question whether aU the supplies paid for war* placed on tbt boat. ' MR. BRODEUR Af POINTS H18 OWN JUDGE, Finally, it was shown tbat Commissioner Ousels I* not a regular royal commission, selected by tbt whole government. The order in council sets forth tbat he hi tht personal appointment ol Mr. Brodeur, the minister who is on trial, with hla Mali. A person on trial, who haa th* privilege of selecting hit own Judge, of defining and limiting -tat Powers ot Inquiry, and of fettling all the condition* of tht investigation, has an excellent at»rt. When one considers how narrow the aeon* of the enquiry hat been made, and how carefully - -the position of the government ho* been guarded, lie can understand why the Civil Service Commission has been discharged.

In these two. years. In which Mr. Brodeur has had charge of the department, . since these flrat swindles were exposed-, so sign of repentance, nor reform he* been given by the minister. Hia organization has got worse. His department has been the hunting ground lor the most daring grafters and mott unscrupulous middlemen. Mr. Brodeur himself baa been as Irregular in his accounting, and as prodigal in his expenditure a* hia subordinates. The men below him have had encouragement from his example ot recklessness in expenditure, carelessness In method, Irom his obstruction of investigation, and his defence of rake- oft. But it is now a time of panic and tbe minister must at least pretend to do something. We shall see how far the reformation will go. But the country will know that If there had been a real desire to reform, srmo action would have been taken long ago. ' ■ * JURY DISAGREES.

HARBOR LIGHTS UNDER WATER "The lighthouse, which hat for so long bald a cherished place ln the lore of the sea, as well as a position ot vital importance in navigation, is in iminent danger of being left as a mere monument ol a bygone age, like the stranded hull ot some old wooden warship. ( By the use of a system recently patented by an American inventor, the navigation of harbors and waterways will become at simple and pleasing a task as walking up the "Great White Way." ' The inventor of this ingenious scheme is Leon Dion of Wilkesbarre, Pa., who has fully protected his invention by putents in all the countries of the world. The patent, by the way, Is of peculiar interest in that it ls one of the few absolutely fundamental patents, and, as in the caso ol all revolutionary inventions, tho method la so simple and appar- WORK PROGRESSING ON E. & Jf.

The lamp and reflector are made sufficiently buoyant so that they will maintain an upright position. The cable thus equipped ia then laid In the proper position in the waterway to be lighted up and con nected with a source of electric supply trom shore. The course of the channel will thu* be marked out by brilliantly lighted spots on the surface of tho water. lt ls n well known fact that even the highest waves do not produce a disturbance any distance below their own depth. The cable, with its con nected lamps, will, therefore, always be In .practically still water. The only condition, we are assured under which the system would seem unavailable would be ln river channels or other places where the water might be roily. In all ocean harbors or roadstead's It should apparently be quite successful, and thit is the view taken by numerous naval and navigation authorities of the highest rank. We read further: "One of the most Important features of this system is the fact that it offers equally as good guidance ln the densest fog ns In perfectly clear weather. Fog and wind practically never occur together, and the beam of light would, therefore, project from tho level surface of the water up through tho fog, so that the vessel would he guided by pillar* of lire, like the Israelites of "old."—Illuminating Engineer.
