We have a population of 177,000— men, women anil children, Indians and Orientals—and a public debt of *G,.')00,000, representing *35 per head, or $ lift at. least for each adult man in the province. The average cost of government in the other provinces of Canada is about S '-'per heat! per annum; with us it is seven times greater, or $14 28 per head. In salajies alone we pay more than $'2 a lead, or over $370,000. Every year we spend more than 1-A9" h come, Last yeaivwewent further Iffito debt to tne:4ltfieof 178.0,000; '[Bud Mr. Carter-Cotton, a former Con- ' strvative finitusp .

The present premier was a member of the assembly . during those four years; and he litis never protested against tiie prodigal scale of ex[s'iidi- Aire, on the contrary, the very assets from which a fund might be derived to meet the coste of government have been wasted. As a minister of the Crown, Mr. McBride was a party te the orders in council granting large areas of valuable coal and petroleum lauds in Southeast Kootenay to thc 0. P. It.--a fraud upon the legislature, which was prevented, not by Mr. Mc (hide, but by the watchful zeal of a Liberal member. The excuse given by Mr. McBride for his official act in agreeing to the grunts shows that he is utterly unworthy.. to be trusted with the care of the people's property. He took iho word of a colleague that it was all right. What guarantee have we that another colleague will not again hypnotize Mr. McBride into giving away further tracts of the public domain! But when bona lido locators comply witli the law of the province, stake coal lands according to Ihw, and tender the price fixed by law, Mr. Mo- Bride refuses to grant the licences which the law says shall be granted to those who have followed the require should bear their share of the public burdens in proportion te the net output. 3.

As the candidate uf a-quired right iu the public rJomain, the Liberal party, I respectfully ask your votes and your Influence te elect me iM-cause I believe that neither at the hands ofthe McBride government, nor at the hands of ihi'or./ing Socialists, will any practical business-like improvement u(>on the past misdoings take place. Tiie Tiberals have hod no opportunity to show their mettle in the political arena of his province. Hut the administration of public affairs by a Liberal government at Ottawa since 18% is a striking example of what Liberalism in action means. National unity from ocean to ocean; a loyalty to Hritish connection evidenced in deed instead of mere" lip-loyalty; a system of taxation etjual in Incidence and in protection to home industry instead of a system of government aid to favored manufacturers; a determined stand against the Oriental deluge of low- standard civilization; an honest effort to bring capital and labor into hur uionious working for tli.t good of all; energetic workjtoward peoplingthewest and toward providing adequate transport facilities; all these and whatever else tends to the betterment of the Canadian people are the planks of the Liberal platform in the federal field. The same broad ideas dominate the Liberals of Hritish Columbia. I am in hearty accord with the plat- ft rm and manifesto of the Lilmral party in the province. When elected, I shall endeavor to put the principles set forth in them into practice. I shall particularly support the following principles as of immediate interest to this riding: 1. The people's property, whether land, timber, minerals or the fisheries, should be administered for the benefit of the whole people, with a view to lessening the huge burden of debt and taxation now resting on us. Only those who in good faith will utilize our public property in forwarding settle* ment and developing our natural industries should be allowed to acquire an interest in any part of the public domain. The mining laws should be amended and simplified after a careful enquiry through a competent commission. Then tinkering with,them should cease. In the develmeut stage there should l>e no taxation of miners or such rights should be at once trans ferred to them. The course of the government ii: reference to the eoal lands of Kootenay shows that in their opinion we are governed, not be law, but by their whim as influenced by t'le count of voters' noses, I have the honor te be your most obedient servant, William H. P. Clement JCIfT rnti 1 At the time of the publication of the History of Canada, written by Mr. \\V. IL P. Clement, and now in use all over Canada, the Montreal Witness thus referred to it: "The prizes offered in the Dominion history eoinpetion have been awarded, und the names of thc successful competitors are published today. William H. P. (lenient, Esq., obtains the first prize, which consists of a royalty of 10 per cent on the re tiil price of all books sold, and is being estimated at |25,Q00 to $40,- 000. The new text book written by Mr. Clement is a masterly statement in concise form of our history. Mr. Clement is the author of 'The Law of the Candian Constitution,' which the late Sir John Thompson characterised as 'by far the best work that has yet appeared on thc subject1 Ft has been adopted on the curricula of Toronto University, the Law School and Trinity University as thc standard work on thc subject of which it treats.'} Ktve [wiling places have been seeded fur (irand Forks riding, as follows: Morrison block, Grand Korks; Old Schoolhousc, Phoenix; Townsite building,.

Miss Kate I^awrence, of Toronto, is visiting at thc hoineof her brother, J. T. biwrencc, in this city. She is accompanied by Mrs. Cassun, also of The following editorial recently , ip pea rod in the Philadelphia Satur-1 day Evening Post, the leading weekly magazine of thc United States, and shows thc good opinion our neighbors have of Canada and the Canadians; A new nation is being born under ur very face and eyes. Things ate aping faster in Canada than few of ,s here in the United States realize; indeed faster than Canada herself alizes. Her statesmen are embarrassed, perplexed, bewildered with the unparalleled development of the great Northwest. A nd the West has quickened the Bast. Ottawa is electric with the new commercial and political life. That was a great day for Canada last April when Mr. Fielding, tie Minister of Finance, in his speech before the Canadian Parliament, recommended a retaliatory tax on German st el. Ln the Quebec Daily Telegraph a leading editorial has this most senten tious heading: "A Nation to the Na- t ons." The editorial went on to say: "It is an intimation to the world of the place Canada intends to occcupy, From it Great Britain will learn the robust independence of the child it has fostered and developed. "Canada bus (Lute emphatically than ever before declared her intention and ability of standing for wh it are deemed her rights of looking out for herself in the struggle of a nation, r-ther t a i»a colony." This striking and it would seem almost startling editorial was i eo aived without much surprise, and most assuredly without adverse comment anywhere—either in Canada East or West On tho contrary, this patriotic national sentiment is iu that clear, invigorating, northern air! The very word "colony" is welcome no longer. The Son has grown large and strong/ Canada loves England, but there are big men up there, and since the days of the confederation the young Norther i giant has been putting on strength. And this is largely due te the discovery and phenomenal development of the Northwest. Winn'peg, the Chicago of the Canadian West, has sprung into a centre of gnat power, geographically, commercially, iHjIitically. Thirty years ago there Merc some three hundred people there, Canadians and half breeds. Now it is a rapidly growing city of 60,000 Inhabitants, fine street*, broad avenues, l>cautiful bank buildings, large stores, conveiglug and irradiating railways. This Northwest is rapidly filling up with a new life from Eastern Canada and from our own Northwest. Farm- OTS in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas are selling t hei.i valuable farms and are moving, with their families and farming implements and live stock, up into this great harvest-field, and arc receiving a most generous welcome. American capital has gone in there and bought up great tracts of lands, and large profits have already been made by the pushing, wide-awake Americans, But thc bravo and enterprising young men of Western Canada show a most noble and generous spirit. It is truly wonderful. They see our |>cople making millions of money there in the last three years, but they say: "We welcome you; we need your money; we need your enterprise, your daring, your experience; come in and help us develop this great Empire!" No one in all the broad world, England not exeepjed, receives the broad and generous welcome from the Canadian Northwest that is so cheerfully and Unselfishly given the American farmer, merchant) manufacturer and capitalist. They wish us to settle down and li\\o witli them and work with them. But to the capitalist, or land speculator, many in this great Northwest, one big em nigh and broad enough to say: ' Jven though you come in to skim off the cream, and then perhaps leave us, still we welcome you. You are crowding our lands into the market; you are feeding the stream of immigration pouring in upon us; you are helping te develop our country. We welcome you." It is a wonderful spirit and courage, tins, and Western Canada is charged full of a great New World eleetric life. James J. Hill said recently: "There is no good reason why Canada may not have a population of 50,000,000 within the next fifty years. There are many in Canada who believe it. It is I o^ible. England believes it. Many of our own far-seeing men believe it. The Hon. James A. Smart, Deputy Minister of the Interior, and the most able head of this department, in th-; absence of the Minister, the Hon. Mr. Siften, in his recent report before his committee stated that the immigration of the last eleven months has been the greatest by far in the history of Canada—something like. 100,000. The stream has only begun to flow. The great wheat belt, 1500 miles long ami some 40(1 miles wide, will he plowed and bail wtpd, nil of it. Manitoba alone has Uo,U00,000 acres of arable land. Only about 3,000,000 acres have been plowed. There is a great future for Canada. She knows it; feels it; throbs with it, east and west, and she is willing to share it with our own Northwest! The international boundary line is not a ] hysi- cal barrier, nor a commercial one, nor seriously a political one. BOUNDARY MINES AND SMELTESR The force at tho Oro Denoro, Summit C&nip, has been increased to '-'■"> men. The Snowshoe last week again broke nil previous records for shipping ore, the total being not far from .'1000 in thc seven days.

The meeting, at which Mr. W. H. P. Clement was unanimously nominated, was very harmonnious and enthusiastic—two elements that presage a grand Liberal victory on the 3rd of next month. Mr. Clement accepted the nomination. His candidature is heartily endorsed by the three Liberal associations in this riding. It is universally admitted that no stronger or more capable man could have selected. Mr. Clement will be an influential member of the next house, He is a clean, hard fighter, and a man of much more than ordinary ability. He is an experienced politician and has proved himself a ca)iable administrator. He was for some time legal adviser to the Yukon government and a member of the executive council, virtually attorney general of the territory, and is widely known as n writer, his book on the Canadian constitution being the standard on that subject, placing its author in the very front rank of authorities on constitutional law and history in Canada. His history of Canada is the authorized text book all over the Dominiou. Mr. Clement has been for the past three years a resident of this city, and has interested himself largely in all matters aficcting the district. He is a inenihcr of the executive of the Interior District Liberal Council and president of the Lihernl association of thc riding. It is not too much to Bay that not only (Irand Forks hut the whole interior is to be congratulated on tbe hright prospect of Mr. Clement's election to the house. The regular weekly meeting of the city council was held in thc council chamber last night. Those present were: Mayoi Burrell, Aid. Gaw, Martin, McCallum and McLellan. Mayor Burrell reported having met the members of the Chambers of Commerce of the Empire on the arrival of their special train. The mayor stated that they expressed themselves ns delighted with thc :ity, its environments and the great Granby smelter. An application wns read from John A. Manly asking for n reduction of taxes on the Ynle hotel. The matter was discussed nt length, and finally dismissed. The water nnd light commissioner was instructed to shut off water and light from parties wfio are nn unreasonable time in arrears. A short discussion took place on the sidewalk and dog by-law, which was up for consideration. An application wns made for an arc light at Jeff Davis' corner, but os there are already incandescent lights in tnat part of the city, the council considered it was not more necessary there than in other parts of the city.

FRASER DRUG CO,, DRUGGISTS Observations of John Henry, iil\\ 0WN thi L,ne WUh Jonn HenTy" II la the title of an amusing little ** booklet of sketches In up-to- date slang oy the pseudonymous writer, Hugh McHugh, ,w-ho is disputing with Ctaorge Ade the right to th* particular niche left vacant by the death of the entertaining "Billy Baxter." John Henry Is a sporty raan- about-town, the very antithesis o! Richard Harding Davis's refined Van Bibber. From his account of his experiences at the races with his best girl, we quote a few characteristic extract!: When we got to the track they were bunching the bones for the first race, so I told Clara Jane I thought I'd crawl down to the ring and plaster two or three thousand around among the needy. Two or three thousand, and me with nothing but a five-spot In. my jeans, and the return ticket money in that! "Sure!" I said; "I've got a pipe!" "■Well, I hope you won't smokt II near me. I hnte pipes!" She said. "AU rlRht; I'll tnke my pipe dowa *0 the betting ring and smoke It thertl" 1 said, and we parted good frlendi, (In front of the band stand he mi* a number of friends ready to give 'Attn tips on the winners: Every Breezy Boy I met had a different hunch, and they called me into the wharf and unloaded. I flgrurod it out that If I had bet flvo dollars on each good thing they gave me I would have lost four hundred thousand dollars. Then I ducked under, sopped up a stein of root beer, and climbed up again to the hurricane deck. "Did you het?" enquired Clara Jane. "Only seven hundred and thirty dollars," I said; "a mere bag o' shells." I leave a call for 7.30 every morning;, and I suppose that's the reason I was so swift with the figures. "My! what a lot of money!" said the Fair One; "do point out the horse you bet on! I shall be awfully Interested In this race!" (John Henry picked out a horse at random, declaring that the only way It could lose "was for some sore-head to get out and turn the track around.") Sure enough, the favorite galloped Into port and dropped anchor six hours ahead of the other clams. I win over two thousand two hundred dollars—conversation money—and Bonnie Brlghteyea was tn a frenzy of delight . . . I had a nervous chill for fear she'd declare herself In on the rake-off. But she didn't, so I excused myself and backed down the ladder to cash in. (Still the wary John Henry listened to the tips and refrained from betting.) When I got back to the stand I had a preoccupied air. The five-spot In my jeans was crawling around and begging for a change of scene. When Clara Jane asked me how much I had bet on the race just aibout to start, I could only think of nine hundred dollars. When she wanted to know which horse I polnaed my finger at every toad on the track, and said: "That one, ever there!" It won. At the end of the third race I was (10.213 to the good. Clara Jane had It down In black and white on the back of an envelope, la figures that couldn't lie. (John Henry remarked that wfcea Clara begged him to be content with his winnings and not bet any mors, he promised, "but she didn't notice that I had my fingers erossfd.") I simply had to hare a roll to flash oa the way home, so I took my lonely T and went out Into the Promised Land after the nuggets Maddy had put m* wise to. . . . (Pretty Boy was his choice, despite the fact that the bookmakers told him he had made a mistake.) When the horses got away with Pretty Boy tn front I started In to stand on my head, but changed my mind and swallowed half the programme. Pretty Boy at the quarter! Me for Rector's till they put the shutters upt Pretty Boy at the half! Me down to Tiffany's In the morning dragging tiaras away In a di yl Pretty Boy at the three-quarter pole! He doing the free-library gag all over the place! But hist as they 'me In the stretch Pretty Boy forgot something and went back after It The roach quit m- cold at the very door of the safety ri-poslt vaults. (Of course Clara Jnne never guessed his plight, for he "rushed down among the ramblers and made o swift touch for the price of a couple < f rides home,'1 and on the way buck promised Clara Jane that he would be awfully careful of his 119,218—conversation money.) It the Navel Dying? Science and thc stern reality of lift are bound to destroy the novel. It la out of harmony with thc tcloiuiflc and materialistic spirit of the age. Tha more Industrial and strenuous a nattoo is, the fewer novelists has she; only the backward, the passive, the visionary people,! produce great novelists. The fable, thn national tale, the folksong, have dle.l. Why not the novelT It, too, Is subject to the law of evolution. It has seen Its acme, Its highest point, and Is on the decline.—"Novoye Vremya," St. Petersburg.
