Incorporation matters are in a forward state and the details are being rapidly arranged. A. York, one of the citizens' committee, was in Nelson last week, and while there engaged Messrs. Taylor & Hanntogton, a leading firm of barristers in that city, to take charge of the scheme and draft the necessary papers for presentation to the legislature at *ts next session. Victoria lawyers had at first been written to, but they were too tardy in answering. Tbo Nelson men strongly urge the town to incorporate as a city, because of the extra advantages to be derived. They are sending up instructions to the committee to govern the preliminaries, and in a few days a public meeting will be called and everything laid before the citizens. It Is hoped to have the whole thing arranged and In order by March 1. John Houston and K. F. Green, M.L.A.'s, will father the scheme before the legislature. All outside business and financial circles commend the citizens for their action in seeking the incorporation of the town. MINING. HKCOROS.

Nelson lawyers are deriving no small income from legal disputes In this section, more particular in reference to ground around the Arlington and Speculator. The latest case to arise is that of Mark Manley against J. Frank Collom and the Arlington Mines, ltd., anent the Native Silver traction. Plaintiff seeks an injunction restraining defendants from mining on the Native Stiver ground, certain levels of the Arlington having been projected through the fraction in order to reach the Burlington claim. He also asks for an accounting of the ore stated to have been taken from the fraction by the Arlington people In the course of their operations. The suit has been delayed pending the judgment in Manley vs. Collom. which wasdelivered at Rossland two weeks ago by Justice Walkem, which sustained Manley in the SMsessionof a half interest in the action. The ground, which h«s given risn to all this legislation, is held to be valuable. New Mining Section. Cedar creek, a tributary of Slocan river, about 12 miles balow town, will receive considerable attention next summer from prospectors. It is a promising section of country, but owing to tho heavy timber and the deep wash, It has beon hard to prospect. Haifa mile this side of the creek and facing the railway. A. York, J.

This past fall a new lead was j car. Another carload was brought discovered, carrying tlve feet of down during the week and others well mineralized matter between the walls, lt is a copper-gold proposition, and carries silver values. The ow ners built a cabin and did some work on the vein this past fall, but were driven out by water. A shaft was sunk eight feet and in that distance the ore improved greatly. It shows more copper and gives evidence of turning into solid mineral. In the spring development will be resumed. MADE A GOOD BUY. Marpole Isstersxt In Two Friend* Secured bjr Local Parties. A. York and W. T. Shatford, who came over from Vernon (or the pur pose, went to Nelson on Thursday last and secured what was known as the Marpole interest in the Two Friends mine. This was a quarter interest and was owned by K. Mar- Kle, Bupt. of the C.P.R., and a num- r of Vancouver parties, who stocked it in that city. The company afterwards got into debt witn the Bank of Montreal and three times ot late the interest has been advertised for sale by the sheriff. On Dec. 21 tbe shareholders met in Vancouver, and authorized the sale of the Interest, upon the offer made by Messrs. York and Shatford. The will follow. It is not unlikely, however, that the property will find new owners shortly, as a powerful syndicate Is seeking a purchase. In any event Slocan will protlt materially from the Two Friends. THE OTTAWA TO THK FItONT. Elegsmt Body of Ore Kx potest In the Main Drift. The period of uncertainty for the Ottawa is past and that property is now in fair shape to become a mine, and a big one at that. It is one of the best known claims on Springer creek and from the outset gave indications of big things beneath its surface croppings. Work has been going on all winter in the main drift, where a slide of debris in the fall had shown ore. Later on a horse was encountered In the vein, but on penetrating this two stringers of mineral were met with. The drift was continued on these and they have widened out. one to 1-1 inches and the other to 10 inches, with three feet ot ledge matter between. It is a dry ore, showing sulphides, native silver and copper pyrites, giving values exceeding $203 per ton, Where struck the ore is about 40 feet below the surface and each foot dri- The Last Years o' Oor Teens.

By the purchase, the entire Two Friends mine is now owned locally and there will be no further doubt as to its operations. The owners have one of the best mines In the camp, and one that is contributing largely to the up building of the town. Last July Thos. Lake and P. Mc- Vicar obtained a lease and bond on a three-quarter Interest in the Two Friends for $30,000. They have kept 10 men employed and have done a great deal of first-class development, showing up new ore bodies and vastly improving the property. For divers reasons little has been said of the Two Friends of late, but It is in better shape now than ever before. Only it few days ago the lessees, In sinking from the upper drift, caught the ore chute, which had faulted from the former owners, and exposed two feet or more of solid ralena, assays from which ran over 700 oz In sliver. The previous shipments from the Two Friends have always been high grnde, and the one made bv tho prosent lessees (netted 11700 te the ven makes an Improvement in the ledge and size of the stringers. Two men aro employed on the property and they have half a carload of ore on the dump. An examination ofthe Ottawa has recently been made and it is quite probable a bond will be made. Messrs. Mulvey.Clement and Wichmann arc the ownors and thev deserve all the success coming to them. Incidentally, the operntlon of the Ottawa will greatly benefit the town and add another to the list of shippers ot, the camp. Pretty High Assays. Two weeks ago Billy Harrington sent down to the coast a sample of ore from the V & M group, Twelve Mile creek, weighing 185 pounds. The company has had a series of 12 assays made from this rock, there- turns averaging $341.58 to the ton. Of thfe value $50 lain gold and the balance in silver. The ore Is creating quite a stir in Vancouver mining circles. At the mine thc boys have resumed work after the holidays,and developments are being pushed in order to get out a shipment of ore. OUR ORE SHIPMENTS SUBSTANTIAL gHOWINO MADE BT THIS DIVISION. Thlt Season U Far the Best on Ksteord—A Healthy Kvtdenee of the Tulle and Wealth of the Csssiip -A*Kss(toa tho Blageat Shipper. Corrected and reused figures of the ore shipments irom this division during 1900 are .-eminently satisfactory, the total being 2817 tons, by far the best record in the history of the camp. Of this amount, the Arlington shipped 1G35 tons and tho Enterprise 1040 tons. The vast proportion of the season's shipments was made from the Arlington-Enterprise section of country, and the outlook is favorable for the ensuing year being better, as several new shippers will be added to the list. A leading feature of these shipments is the high returns received from the ore, $100 per ton gross being a conservative estimate. With this value placed upon thc ore, the exports would aggregate $284,700, which at once gives a better illustration of the richness ef the mineral -resources of the division. From last week's report to Decern bet- Si, the Arlington added 180 tons more to its total and the Bondholder 20 tons.

HAS INSPECTED CHINESE Asiatic Expert Talks of Relative Merits of Chinese a«d Japanese as Citizens. Arthur S. Spencer, know in government circles in San Francisco as "Aguinaldo" Spencer, is in the city to make a census of the local Chinese population. Mr. Spencer's nickname is not an inappropriate one, for he bears a striking resemblance to the published pro- trates of the rebel leader in the Phillippines. Moreover, Mr. Spencer was an intimate friend and classmate of Aguinaldo in Victoria college, Hong Kong, during a six years' academic-course. "Aguinaldo," said Mr. Spencer yesterday, "was, while in school, a sociable fellotlr. but of a vindictive nature.' Ambition was his most striking characteristic. He was the leader of every class in which he appeared, aud should he lose his place in front would work for days to regain it. He is a true Asiatic, cunning and quick to^ re- •e it an affront. Ambition Ruined Rebel thief "When he left college he went home to be a leader among the Filipinos. He wanted to be first in everything, and in consequence has become a dictator over the people he would free. His ambition has been his ruin. He built his castles to high, with the result that he will be buried under them when they fall If he had waited until the United States had settled the disturbance in his country after the fall ot Manila he would now have been governor general of the islands. From what I learned of him during the six years 1 kne*W him, 1 am led to believe that unless he is captured and either departed or imprisoned he will make a great deal of trouble for the United States government," Mr. Spencer was born in Hong Kong harbor on board an Knglish vessel. His father was an American and his mother, a Spanish woman, married his father in the East Indies. He has traveled widely in the orient, and is competent to speak on oriental affairs. He speaks English, Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese, having obtained his knowledge of the languages in Hong Kong. He is officially connected with the customs house in San Francisco as Chinese inter- s prefer and inspector of Asiatic immigration. •a the Japaneae Menace. Speaking of the relative value of the Chinese and Japanese as residents of this country, Mr. Spencer saisi: "The Chinaman is no longer a menace to this country, but his place as a menace has been taken by the little brown men of Japan. The Chinaman is a sober, hard working man, who will not work for wages too low. As cook he wants $40 a month, and can not be hired for much less. The Jap will accept $20 *lr even less for his work. Chinese laborers are paid $1,40 a day, Jap only $1,10. The same relative values extend through all trades and occupations. "Japanese question is to become a] paramont issue in America. Nationally the Japanese are strong, their army and navy, under the efficient instructions of Americans and Englishmen, form a power not to be dispised. The Japs consider themselves as civilized as any na. tion on earth, and are strong in that belief. They are proud and firm in their bearing toward other nations, and have really become one ofthe great world powers. There. fore they will resent any attempt tb shut them from this or any other country, and the passage ol a Japanese exclusion act by the United States might be followed by a hard war against this country. Mr. Spencer has completed the enumeration of the Chinese 10 Spokane, finding about 500, and wil soon go to Walla Walla and through the Palousj. The inspection is made under a provision of the Geary exclusion act for an annual enumeration of Chinese, The inspection shows a yearly decrease in the Chinese population of the United States of about 500, owing to removals to China and death Mr, Spencer expresses no doubt of the repassage of the exclusion act when it expires, in 1902. TIKI I.H PHEV WON W»1*1EN WILLI All WENTImAKE DEAD Inventor |Whoae Patent Appllauce* Are Numbered Ry Hundreds*. A private telegram received in Chicago announces Ihe death in Brooklyn, N. Y., of William West- lake, one of the founders of the Adams & Westlake company, widely known as an inventor. Mr, Westlake held over 300 personal patents, among the best known being the open top hand lantern, which made possible the system of lantern signaling used by railroads. Mr. Westlake was born in Cornwall, England, in 18^1, and came to the United States 1844. In 1857 he became chief tinsmith of the old Milwaukee & La Crosse railroad. In 1861 he formed a business partnership with Master Mechanic Rice of the road for the manufacture of railway supplies. The firm was burned out in the great lire ol 1871 Dlres-t Hire To (lueanel The work of stringing the new- telegraph wire from Quesnel to Ashcroft was completed yesterday and connection made with the local office. This wire is strung on newly set poles entirely independent of the old line, and yet no connections have been made with the offices be tween (Juesnel and here. Jim Trodden has been in charge of this work and, with only a small gang of men, has strung from nine to ten.Wles a day. With the tew men . w°rked this would have been impossible only but for the assistance of a very ordinary look- cayuse which Jim pressed into service as head packer. It is said of Lord Kitchener as an example of his resourcefulness that when his telegraph contingent could not proceed with the work of stringing wire because they had no appliances he conceived the idea of putting a donkeys hind leg through a bundle of wire and then slipped the wire over his_back, and there it hung and was reeled off as the donkey stumpled along. Jim just double discounted that idea by making a reel and placing it on the huricane deck of the before mentioned cayuse and the wire reeled oft' as beautifully as possible. Yesterday George Bailey took a snap shot of the invention which will likely be preserved in the ar- chieves at Ottawa as an example of the ingenuity of the western men. —Ashcroft Journal, NO PRIXEEIUHT IN MT.

Three women held up by highwaymen, one of whom is dying from injuries received; a girl attacked by an acid thrower and another girl assaulted is the record of crime in Kansas City for the past few days-. A white man enticed Ethel Campell, the 8 year old daughter of a former deputy marshal, from her home in the east bottoms and before making his escape nearly choked her to death to prevent an outcry being made. The girl, half unconscious' was found by a fisherman in a desolate place near the river and taken to the city physician's office. There she recovered sufficiently to give a description of her assailant. A volunteer posse searched the bottoms thosoughly all afternoon, determined to lynch the man if he could be found. At nightfall he had not been captured. The girl will recover. In lidgerton, a suburb of Kansas City, Kansas, a woman clad in black threw carbolic acid in 14 year old Eleanor Bare's face, severely burning her cheeks "and forehead. No cause for the assault is apparent and no clue to the woman has been found. Within a fesv days three have been held up on the Kansas side of the river and attacked by highwaymen.

World AjfitiisNl WlieelwonieU' Wheelwomen in Europe meet with many difficulties. In Russia everything is managed "by order of the czar" and cycling is no exception to the rule. Before a woman can possess a wheel she m.'st obtain royal consent, and as this is granted uiiite sparingly, there are but few wheelwomen in Russia. Francer recognizes the right of the husband to be boss, and befor maidens can join the Touring club she must first obtain a signed declaration from her spouse granting her the privilege. In Florence women cyclists must carry two bells to warn pedestrians of the -machine's approach. Men are required to have only one bell.

People are compelled to pay over 20 times that sum to tr-ivel the same distance in this country. Isold Output During lstftt The world's production of gold in 1899 was of the value of $306,585,- 500, an increase of $19,156,300 over the yield of .898. The principal gains were $6,590,400 in the Southern states; $7,515,600 iii Canada (mainly in Klondike), and Australia $14,860,800. The most important loss was in South Africa, which fell about $7,- 000,000,000 below the output of 1898, and a result of the war in the Transvaal. The war broke out in September and mining operations in the field were almost suspended. But for the interruption in the Transvaal the world's production for the year would doubtless have been $25,000,000 greater, The Klondike output for 1899 was about $16,990,000. The world's production of silver in 1898 was 177,224,243 fine ounces, against 165,205,572 fine ounces in 1898. Mexico leads and Mexico and the United States produce two-thirds of the sjlver yield of the world.

Mr. Curran came to this country as the fraternal delegate from the British Trades Union congress to the American Federation of Labor convention, and represents about 2,000,000 organized workers in the United Kingdom. He is president and organizer of the Gas workers' and General Laborers' union, with offices in London. Mr. Curran said: "After spending more money in England during the last 25 years on the industrial battlefield than would keep 700 or 1000 legislators for our interest in the housejof parliament, we have come to the conclusion that we must have something to say about the making'of laws under which we have to work, and we must get away from'the old orthodox political parties if we nope to secure what'we seek. "The only possibility of our securing labor^legislation is by sending our, own men [to"parliament not as master but "fas servants.

"" *^== "" ff *■ tions, except they would be their own masters aud make such - regulations concerning their work as seemed to them would be for their best interests. I think that when such conditions arrive, that the people of a nation engaged, in the agricultural pursuits would not, unless they preferred, live ia rural isolation. They would be housed in cities and would go to their work on rapid transits, which would be cheaper (cost less labor) than keeping up the millions of miles of road and hauling the products in wagons to points of demand, as is now done. No, socialism does not infer the renting of land for tithing or money root. That would be a crude way, and when people understand it better they will not apply crude and primitive methods,such as now in vogue. The land will be used in the same way that railroads would be if thc public owned and operated them. HICH STRIKE Paradlae Mine lu Hie Wludeitnara DU Uriel la Showing I'P Wall Manager K.

Prussia has 30,268 miles of government railroads and 3498 belong to private owners, It is the policy of the government,'^to require tht few remaining lines, as rapidly as possible. In 1889, 42 companies operated 75.4 percent of the trunk line milt- age to Russia. In 1899 there was only nine companies, operating 40 percent, while the government operating 60 per cent, or 16,413 rnilts. The Russian state railroad, formerly run at a loss, now brings a profit, notwithstanding tht fact that the government hus built so many lines for military purposes, without regard to commercial considerations. In Austria proper, the govtra- ment owns and operates 4700 milas of railroad and operates 1260 miles more belonging to private companies. Lines owned and operated by corporations amount to iSba miles. In Hungary the governments operates 4,876 miles of its own and 3439 miles belonging to companies, against 1822 miles owned and operated by corporations.

TWO HUNDRED MILLION But the Amount is Likely to Be Mack Larfler-Sixteen Nations , Interested. Two hundred million dollars is the maximum sum of the United States wants the powers to demand of China as indemnity, yet the figures are likely, to be many time that amount. The United States army has a deficiency ot $i 1,000,000 for transportation and army supplies, and most of that is charged against China. A determined effort will be made by President and Secretary Hay, to induce the.powers to consent to the arbitration of the indemnity question by'a court to be appointed in confromity with the provisions of Tse Hague treaty. Article 6 of the agreement, sign- •d by "the foreign ministers in Pekin,"requires the-payment by China of "equitable indemnities" of a very sweeping character. ..(.The indemnity to be paid to the governments is in the nature of restitution of the were involved in the Chinese trouble. The remaining six, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, the Netherlands, Roumania and Portugal, have appointed, or will appoint, if the precedent fixed by the other power is followed, their ablest jurists, so that there would be no difficulty in the way of getting an unbiased court. Claimants could submit their claims in this court, which would receive and consider them. LOWREVo BOui Found Leaning As vinst a Tree on a Blind Trail. PRICE FOR LYNCHED HUSBAND Indians County Settled With Iks Widow By Paying * 4000. Mrs. Lulu C. Jenkins, now of Chicago, has just been awarded $4000 for the lynching of her husband in Ripley county, Indiana, three years ago. The money will be paid over by the eight bondsmen of former Sheriff Henry Bushing and is the result of a privae settlement of the indemnity suit instituted by the widow three months after the murder. This puts an end to a case that has aroused attention all over the east. William Jenkins was one of the five men lynched in September, 1897, for alleged complicity in the stealing of a horse from Lisle Levi of Osgood, Indiana. Levi was also a victim of the mob. The men killed were Robert Andrews, Heine Schuler, William Jenkins, Clifford Gordon, a 17 year old boy, and Lisle Levi, and aged soldier.

The man proved to be Harry Lowrey, as supposed. He left Bodie one week ago last Tuesday for Republic, coming by way of the trail. That night there was a terrible snow and wind storm, and he took a blind trail and soon became lost. In s.me manner he lost his horse, which has not yet been found. When the searching party reached the body a dog stood off the crowd for some time, but after being fed permitted the men to reach his dead master. The animal 1 is wasted almost to a shadow, showing he has been without food for thc entire 10 days. Lowrey had evidently either got off his horse to find the trail or was thrown and walked until exhausted and sat down by a tree and never rose again. He had done much walking as his overshoes was worn out. There were a few bruises on his j arms and legs,presumably caused by to the sickbed of Governer Stanley the man is out of employment— for him, as governor of the state, out of bread.

No doubt many of our readers have been surprised at the sudden drop in Le Roi stocks which has had a very depressing effect on the whole British Columbian market. The cause is directly traceable to the old warfare between the two rival sections of the Westralian market For the time being, the enemies of the Whitaker-Wright group appear to have the upper hand, although their tactics have not met with success in regard to Lake View's, and so they endeavor to wound their adversary in his British Columbian interests. It is extremely unfortunate that the British Columbian section should thus be entirely at ths mercy of a clique of share manipulators who are interested in a totally separate portion of the globe, and the conviction is borne in on us that our markets would be in a lar more satisfactory position if the British America Corporation, which appears now to have degenerated into a mere share pushing agency, ceased to exist, then 'he bona-fide promoting and development companies, such as the London and B.

The societ:es"named in the note of the powers are the religious bodies which maintain missionaries in China, many of «hom were kill- td. They will not only want heavy sums of indemnity for the heirs ot those killed, but solace those who were insulted, and also to repair the dammage done in the destruction of the mission property. Many merchants suffered losses' in consequence of the. outrages. The American legations in Pekin was owned by Colonel Charles Uemby, Mr. Crorfsget'sr-predecessor; and the •ther leg'ationsr'-'Were''also owned by foreigners er foreign 'governments. It will'thus- be seen that the amount ot indemnity will assume gigantic figures. Administration officials believe the amount demand- ad should not be more than';,$200,- 000,000, an in case of inability to properly distribute'' the indemnity the matter should be brought to the attention1'to the Hague court. In case, however, it should develop that it is impossible to agree on a reasonable sum, then th government will urg^e the immediate refer- sure of the" whole indemnity question to a eoiiii of five jurists, to be selected from those members of the Hague tribunal, nominated by countries whose interests were not largely affected, by the Chinese trouble. It is pointed out that there are sixteen nations signatory to The Hague treaty, ten only of whom bondsmen before Judge Baker. The suit dragged along for thre*» years and Anally the bondsmen decided to settle outside of court. Mrs Jenkins, when compelled several months ago to go to Ripley county to attend the trial of the case, was protected by a body guard of government detectives. She will go to Versailles next week to get the $4000. Terrible Fata of Vastier and Son Edward Clark, aged t<3, and his son William, aged 38 years, both of Cimden, N. J., met a horrible death while at work in that city. The men were blacksmiths employed by a firm of machinists on North Second Street. Young Clark, shortly before 11 o'clock, was siezed with chills,and,in attempting to get relief, climbed a ladder to the top of a largo noiler. In a few minutes, his fellowworkmjn, among whom was the father, he ird the noise of escaping steam. The father, realizing his son's danger, mounted the ladder to William's rescue. He missed his looting and fell on a Targe revolving gear-wheel, and was ground to pieces. Meanwhile, the son was on the top of the boiler, surrounded by escaping steam, and the woikmen below were .unable to g've any assistance until the steam in the boiler had spent its force. Young Clark, was then dead, having been scalded to death. The safety-ball of the boiler had dropped off, and allowed the 40 pounds pressure of steam in the boiler to escape. Both men leave families. A 14-year-old son of William witnessed the death of his fat her and grandfather. re it can be carried into execution. No governor for several years has been willing to sign a death warrant, and in consequence death sentences have not been carried out. Thr present governor, Man- ley, has no prejudice against capital punishment, but before signing forty death warrants he desires to know if capital punishment is desirable, he would inforce it; if not he would have it abolished. There are five states in which a death penalty has been abolished. These are Maine, Rhode Island, Michigan, Wisconsin and Colorado. The governors of these states have been requested to give the governor of Kansas the benefit ot there experience. Not one of the governors are inclined to the belief that the abolition of the death penalty either increase thc number of capital offenses or is an incentive to lynch law. The governor of Colorado, who has recently had to deal with an aggravated c*se of mob law, does not believe thai the abolition of the death penalty has a tendency in that direction. ■There d'•'.?'£ hot seem to be much to be 'said in favor of the queer Kansas law, A man under sentence of death m.iy bi held to have some rights, one of which is that he shall not be subjected to punishment in excess of what the law provides.

The mechanic invention was not for his benefit. Some time ago I heard a man say that it was impossible for good mechanics to get employment, and that, if his judgment, the government ought to furnish work for the people. A few minutes after I heard another man say that he was selling a patent for cutting out clothes, that one of the machines could do the work of twenty tailors, and that only the week before he had sold two to a great house in New York, and that over forty cutters had been discharged. On every side men are being discharged and machines are being invented_to"take their places. When a great factory shuts down the workers who inhabited"'it and gave it life as thoughts to the brain, go away, it stands there like an empty skull. A few workmen, by the force of habit, gather about the closed doors and broken wihdows and talk about distress, the price of food and the coming winter. They are convinced that they haven't their f share 'of what they created. They feel certain that the machines on the inside were not their friends. The look at the mansion of the employer—but have nothing themselves. The employer seems to have enough. Even when employers fail, when they become bankrupt, they are far better off than their laborers ever were. There worst is the toilers best. The capitalist comes forward with his specific. He tells the working- men they must be economical, and yet, under the present system, economy wouldjessen wages. Under the great law of supply I and'demand, every saving, frugal, j s.-lf denying workman is uncon-j sciousnly doing '.what little he can j to reduce the compensation ot him- self and his"'fellows. The slaves who did not wish to run away helped to fasten the chains on'those who did. Lo, the saving mechanic is a certificate'that wages are high enough. Dots the great law demand that " every * worker^should live on the least possible amount of bread? „ Is it his fate to work one day that I? he may get food enough to be able to.work another? Is that to ,be his only hope—that and death? Capital has also claimed and still claims the right to combine. Manufacturers meet and determine prices, even in spite of supply ana demand. Have the laborers the same right to consult and combine! Therich meet in the bank, club house or parlor. Workingmen, when they combine, gather in the street. All the organized forces of society are against them. Capital has the army and navy, the legs'ative, th judicial and executive I he ignorant and s,upid enough to departments.

Can man become intelligent enough to be generous, to be just, or does the same law or fact control him as controls the animal or vegetable world? The great oak steals the sunlight from the smaller trees. The strong animal devours the weak—everything at the mercy of the beak, and claw, and hoof, and tooth—of hand, and club, and brain and greed—inequality, injustice everywhere. The poor horse standing in the street with his dray, overwork, overwhipped and unfed, when he sees horses groomed to mirror, glistening- with gold and silver, scorning with proud feet the very earth, probably indulges in the usual social reflections; and this same horse, worn and old, deserted by his master, turned into the dusty road, leans his head on the topmost rail, looks at donkeys in the field of clover and feels like a nihilist. In tne day of cannibalism tha strong devoured the weak—actually ate their flesh. In spite of all laws that man has made, in spite of all advances in science, the strong, the heartless, still live on ihe weak, the'unfortunate, the foolish. True, they do not drink their blood or eat their flesh, but- they live on their self-denial, their weariness and want. The poor man who defends himself by toil, who labors for his wife and children through all his anxious, barren, wasted life—who goes to the grave without ever having a luxury—has been tht food for others. He has been devoured by his fellow men. The poor women, living in the bare and lonely room, cheerless and fireless, night and day, to keep starvation from her child is slowly being eaten by her fellow- men. When 1 take into consideration the agony of civilized life— the failures, the anxieties, the tears, the withered hopes, the bitter realities, the hunger, the crime, the humiliation and the shame—I am almost forced to say that cannibalism, after all, is the most merciful form in which man can exist.
