Surprise May Be Their Intention��������� ..Raiding Orange Free State. Lord Roberts Waiting'Tor'Remounts and Winter Clothing. London, April 00���������5 a.m.���������Preparations are being made to hold Bloem- fontein against a surprise. Lord Kitchener has been given important duty, being responsible for the protection of railways, while Lord .Roberts is waiting for remounts and winter clothing for the .troops, whose thin cotton khaki uniforms and boots are worn out. Lord Roberts will probably for some time continue his operations of clearing the Free State of raiders preparatory to relieving Mafeking, for which purpose apparently the Eighth Division,now arriving at Cape Town,.has been ordered to Kimberly. Lady Sarah Wilson and other Mafeking correspondents send diaries of doings ttiore, showing that the Boers have tried, by abandoning trenches, to lure the beaeiged out into a mined ambush. Fortunately, the British engineers discovered the mine, cut the wire communication and unearthed the 25 pounds of dynamite and war gelatine. ��������� London, -April 9.���������The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, telegraphing Sunday, says : "Tho railway and telegraph are working well. Works and trenches have been prepared in suitable positions around. Bloemfontein. The greatest vigilance is exercised. Some of the troops sleep in the trenches. ''Conformation has been received of the reporit'nhac the Boers are in laager in considerable numbers, with guns, at Dinkersport, 18 miles southeast. The British scouts report another body still closer. The Boer patrols have grown veiy bold, venturing much nearer our tents!" . ' London, April 9.���������The' amazing ac- tivityof tlie Boers southeast and south- west-of Bloemfontein continues. The Boer commands are seemingly going and'eoming throughout a wide region as they please, ��������� but taking good care not to throw themselves against bodies of the British. .The .retirement.of .the Irish Rifles from-Rouxville. to Aliwal, /leaves gallant General Brabant without communication with the British forces. He has 2,000jto 3,000 Colonials..holding a fine defensive position, but, he is apparently vested so far as London knows. "Telegraphic and;.railway communications "with Bloemfontein are kept upas usual;: but nothing comes through for public consumption. ��������� Carnarvon, Cape Colony, April .9.��������� Knisdardt was. formally re-annexed to CapefJolony April 1st, amidst cheers ... of assembled.troops.... .A large number of insurgent colonists, including many of their leaders are now imprisoned here.' Col. Drury's column, including the West Australian and- Canadian Mounted Rifles and Artillery, left here yesterday for De Aar. ��������� Ottawa, Ont., April 10.���������A cable was received today from Lord Strathcona ; asking that a contingent of 50 men be forwarded." to South Africa at once to join ".the Strathcona Horse, and be ready to. (ill vacancies which may be caused by casualties or otherwise. London, April 1L���������The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Times, telegraphing Monday, says: "The enemy are making a generil attempt to discover a strategic opening. Their numbers are unknown to us, but are anywhere between 3,000 and 6,000. They are moving cautiously. Remounts are arriving, but the Argentine arrivals are little liked by thc cavalry. .��������� , Among the valuables discovered, belonging to Messrs. Steyn and Fischer, is some correspondence proving that the fall of Ladyamith was to be the signal for a general Dutch uprising." tein correspondent of the Times, tele graphing Wednesday says : "It is announced in general orders that General Sir Herbert. Chermside has been appointed to the command ot the Third Division, vice General Sir William Gatacre, 'ordered home to England.' General Brabant's force is confident of being able to hold out. The Boers after showing considerable dash, wavered when it came to the scratch and struck at the least vital point, where they are greatly, handicapped by their proximity to the Basil to border. Owing to thc strategical concentration since the enemy's movements became defined, there need be little anxiety as to the safety of the Cape Border." 1 GniDDDLL Tie Ottawa'Government Gives Lieut. Governor Melnnes a Pointer. THE ORACLE. "Tom Taylor Is a Dead Duck in the Revelstoke Riding.'.' Such is the classical language employed by the Nelson Tribune to dps- cribe Mr. Taylor's candidature in the constituency to the north ot us. Nothing will please the Tribune that does not endorse bodily the legislation of our tin-horn politicians, that does hot appeal directly to the worst prejudices of the most prejudiced men in the country. This.with the Tribune, is the only statesmanship.that can ever make B. C. a great country. Whenever objection is taken to our eight-hour law, the vaporer at Nelson says Australia has an eight-hour day, and why,should it not do here. Now, it so happens that Mr. Taylor recommends the same law to a letter that Australia has, and yet in its prophetic poison the Tribune says he is "a dead duck." No one is a living duck to the Tribune but John Houston and he enjoys life merely because his foundation is unlimited intentional deception of the people.. Mr. TayJor says he .believes in a law that limits a miner's day's work t6 eight hours unless he finds it'to his o.vn personal advantage to extend it. It appears to most sensible people that nothing can be more reasonable than that. It affords protection -while conceding the light of free will. Elections 9th of Jane. It is understood that a request has been mado asking Lieutenant-Governor Melnnes to explain in particular, why, after'*? ising ministers with seats in the lo, jture, he procured ������ new set of .linisters without seats in the legislature and wholly without parliamentary experience. It is believed that the highest authorities in Victoria regard this action of the governor a subversion of parliamentary government, and as being outside our system of carrying on public affairs. There- ply of the lieutenant-governor does not satisfactorily explain histaction in this respect. It ia believed that Lieutenant-Governor Mblnnes has been instructed that he must, summon the legislature immediately, in order that' irresponsible persons should" hot have conduct ot public affairs, or he hi list dissolve the legislature at once and give the public an opportunity of recording their judgment. The new government are understood to take the position in British Columbia that :i elections must be delayed until June, in order to afford time for theirevision of voters' lists which were revised six or eight months ago. Here they are regarded as reducing this from a sufficient reason to a mere excuse. The number of persons who could have become qualified as voters in bix or eight months would be extremely small in every province of the Domihion. A voters' list six or eight'months-bid would be regarded as a fresh one, and parliament, in the Franchise Act, decided that a provincial voters'list less than-twelve months old was a perfectly good and sufficiently new list. on the lists in other constituencies, and going, on here would, of'course, give two votes, which is contrary to Taw. Others have admitted that they voted in the States and did' riot take the oath of allegiance hero. It matters not if a youth has been born on British soil, so long as he grew up and exercised the rights of citizenship ;.n the, States, or took the oath of allegiance there, he must take another'ont.h here before he can go on the voters' lists. These things should be well looked after. The law allows every British or naturalized subject of this province one vote somewhere within its bounds, if he complies with'the law, but not other- wise,and only one vote at that. Though ttie writer has entered, some appeals against'votes said by the best intorma- tion available, to be objectionable, where mistakes are shown to have occurred thoy will be cheerfully rectified; but we desire to see, as all good citizens should, a proper voters' list. MINES AND MINING. A New Firm. The Political Arena. The probe from Ottawa has brought things to a head at Victoria, as the Legislature is how dissolved and the writs issued fixing nominations for the 26th of May and the elections on the 9th of June. It is possible to have the new lists orinted by' that time, provided their printing is distributed around.; The work cannot possibly; be done in the government offi :e alone in time. It is time that.the parties in this constituency were getting their meii in the field, as there is not an hour to spare. Joseph says he will put up a. candidate in every constituency, which means, as we have all along said, a three-cornered fight in the SIj- ' can. From the way. Mr. Green has been manipulating things it would appear he thinks he has the whole mining vote iu his i ooket; and apparently he wants none other, as he has taken no step in his rounds r.o consult any one,oii anything, save the miners. We are fully confident, however, that many of the miners have minds ot their own, and that when the time comes they will use them. All the same, however, the parties should hold conventions at once and place their'men in the field to give them a fair chance to confer with all the electors. Exclude, or Treat Them Properly. Joe Martin says ho will ignore the Liberal convention just as the convention ignored him, Tit for tat is fair play. ~ The Hon. C. H- Mcintosh, of Ross- land, has been selected bythe Conservatives to contest that district in the. coming elections. The Conservatives of Victoria have declared for Federal party lines, although they do not accept all the Conservative platform, which means that the elections will be run on party lines, though Joseph promises to place a candidate in every constituency. "Fighting Joe" will yet find that catering to the worst passions of dissatisfied men is not the way to govern a_country. He has revelled in that kind ot thing all his life; and, though, he has had several opportunities, he has made the saddest shipwreck of them all. Meii of all shades of thought and feeling must be taught that governments cau only be run on common sense lines, that statesmen cannot trample on principles and the rights of minorities for the sake of capturing majority votes. Messrs. Armstrong and Logan have formed a partnership and are opening a new tailor' shop in the store next to Geo. Kay's old stand. The squib up the #ulch says they took possession of Kay's old business without bill of sale or other authority, and kept it -till turned out by the authorities. One of them was in .Kay's employ and was left in charge, as we understand it, by Kay until he returned. Under such circumstances he was perfectly justified in holding possession, until a process of law might show different ownership. Thc general impression is that Kay has lett the country ; but if he should return and straignten up affairs, it would be "evident his man , was the rightful occupant of th'e premises even until then. What field there may be for another shop we, of course, do not know���������they must be the best judges of that themselves. They are, however, said to be good workmen, and will, no doubt, secure'their share of the' business. The Wakefield will shortly commence shipping a car of concentrates a day. Mr. W. C. Adams has over 20 men at work on the Arlington.at Slocan City. , An important strike has been uiade on the Two Friends, near Slocan City. J. Loingan and B. Gr.uly commence work on the Great Eagle,_ at Three Forks, this week. The Sunset mine, at Whitewater, has been.bonded at $30,000,by J. C. Drewry for the Canadian Gold Fields. Thurston and Williams have bonded a two-thirds interest in the. Two Friends, on Lemon Creek, forSlS,000. The bondholders' are almost sure: to take up the, bond on the Hewett, SIo-. can Lake, so well is the property turning out. Altogether there are now well on to 55 hands working at the Star, and in a short time, it is said, the force will'be increased to its full capacity, about 100.' men. A strike was made on the Rambler- Cariboo of from two to four feet of high grade ore, the other day. This will further increase its producing capabilities. The Hall Mines at Nelson are to be" re-organized. "The general belief is there is pay ore on the property, but it has been handicapped by machinery, etc., on insufficient working capital. Summer Celebrations. PERSONAL MENTION. en one Our city band had two offers of gagements for the 24th of May, from Silverton and the "other from Kaslo. ��������� The members, we understand, have agreed, to; accept Kaslo's ; ofler principally because the most of San- don's holidayers, as well as the hose and reel team, will go there.. There are but four places in the Slocan so far that have celebrating aspirations, and they should agree to select different days for their amusements. The summers are long, amusements not over plentiful, and it would matter little, for an outburstof loyalty, whether a celebration was held on the 24 of May or the 24th of June. Slocan City is, we belieye arranging for the 1st of July. The 21st of June could be celebrated as Coronation Day and with L:ibor Day leave a choice for Sandon and Silver- ton. By arranging to spread their fetes throughout the season the meandering crowds eould take them all in, and the fun would not be.abit too much. A Halt Called. Gu;sts at the Reco. GENERAL GATACRE RFCALLED. General Sir Herbert Chermside Succeeds Him���������General Pole-Carew. Bloemfontein, April 10. ��������� General Gatacre, the commander of ([the Third Division, is about to return to England. General Pole-Carew has been appointed to the command of the Eleventh Division. General changes are likely to be made in the brigade commands. London, April 12.���������The Bloemfou- W. B. Melnnes is doing his best at Ottawa to prevent Chinese from being employed on railways. This is the height of nonsense. The Chinese and Japanese must be excluded from the country altogether or allowed to work at whatever they can get to do. It is the height of folly���������it is worse, it is a crime to allow them to come in under heavy payments and then debar theni from earning a livelihood when they do come in. The idea should be exclude them and buy those out who are here, or abandon the matter altogether. The better plan is to buy out and exclude. RICH BLOOD.

Things are coming to a focus at Victoria, Governor Melnnes has been advised from Ottawa to either dismiss Martin: or dissolve the Legislature at once. It was generally understood the Ottawa government could not endure this farce any longer���������the affairs of the country being managed by a lot of incapable, irresponsible men, without experience and without seats in the Legislature. It' the legislature is dissolved the elections will be held on the lists revised last November; and if Joe is dismissed the probabilities are there will be no elections at all, as this time Melnnes will be likely to call on some member of the House, who can control a majority, and go on with the business of the country through a coalition without a new election.

SPRING CLEANING. It Ts about this time that the <oId- fnishi-oiMMl housewife sets about, the yearly hiouseclea.ning. Of course, thiere.are some, who belong to that energetic class wih.0 begin early in April, and plan and sysUsmize their wiork, and rush through it, and by the'time May 1st comes around, they are seated serenely, wiLh hands folded, and smiling a smile of supreme oontentment and restfulness. There are others who would noL think of doing any such tilling as cleaning house at this season, "What," some will exclaim, "go to all the bother ��� of cleaning and dragging one's life out at this time of the year, when for four or five months to follow doors and windows are to bo op-en aU the lime, not only.to let in air, but all thie sifting dust, fromwitli- to clog up everything. Humph! indeed! ;No spring cleaning for I shall do mine in the fall, when and well for' another five minutes. Rinse with cold water and set to drain ; when dry it will be beautifully clear and bright. Chapped Hands.���Insufficient drying is'.'the cause of most chapped, hands, ft is an excellent idea to keep on one's dressing table a box of almond ineal with a perforated cover. When the hands aire dried with tho towel, a little ainiond ineal dusted over them will complete the work of absorbing tho miaisture. out No. me I kno'w I can keep things spick span, all through the winter." Well, so be it. Each will work at their own time and according to their Inclinations. The good, old-fashioned housekeeper will, however, look to do the great labor of housekeeping about Hue last.week in .April or thet first in May. Il is a good plan, wluen possible, to take'dawn all heavy draping.?, as por- tierres, lambrequins, etc., and replace '-. them with .something that is more in ��� keeping with the heated soason. A pair of laoe curtains hung over the folding doors, a laoe lambrequin over th'f." mantelpiece, wlill do much toward making a room look oool and inviting on a warm. day. If you will make coverings for your furniture, you will find it will not only saTia it a jgreat deal, but you wiill find thai the appearance of your rooms is agreeably changed. Then again, it is also an excellent plan to take a igood-sized piece of drugget and place over your carpets, it will save an.immense amount, of ���wear and dirt from working in, and there Ls nothing so destructive as dirt. HOUSEKEEPING SUGGESTIONS. To Wash Silk Stockings.���Wash silk stockings in cold wyiler, and with white soap, rinse in cold water, then lay them flat in a clean towel, roll them up tightly, and let them remain till they are dry. It you rub them with a piece of flannel it will give them d gloss, and they will not require ironing. Silk stockings should never be left in wiater; they must'he washed quickly, and rolled -up''.-at once. A Biroom. Bag.���Whoever has hard-- wiood or painted floors to keep clean should provide herself with sevoral . broom bags of canton flannel,'made up with the fleeced side out. Tie the broom- on one of these hags, and.by- diraiwiing it over a polished floor, you ui/iy gather up all tlie dust and lint, and save yourself the tiresome stooping necessary to wipe it up with a cloth. The broom bag, too, is a great o.id in cleaning house, in wiping the dust off the -walls., it will take up the dust from matting as easily as from a painted floor, and by rinsing out in clear water occasionally does excellent service. ��� To Clean Hair Brushes.���Dissolve a piece of common soda tlie sizo of a .wu-luut in proportion to a quart of waiter, dip the bristles of the brush briskly in and out of tho water again; keep the back and handles as free as possible. . Repeat this until the brush looks clean, then dry the back and the handle, shake well to throw eus much wet as possible out of the bristles, und set in the sun for near the fire to dry. Patching Socks.���A correspondent has discovered that she can patch socks more quickly and just as serv- tc^ably as she can darn thorn, not to, mien lion saving her eyesight. She takes the sock in hand, trims the edge of the hole, cuts a. patch ftromi the good pairt of another, whips it' down over the hole on the wrong side, then turns and does the same on the right. There aire no seamB to hurt the flesh, and the patch wears as long as the darning would. To Clean Decanters.���Get some old pieces of blotting paper and soap them well, roll the bits up small and put KITCHEN HINTS. Cases of poisoning"''.have arisen through a careless disregard for the cleanliness of the cooking utensils or of their perfect condition. As soon as a copper, saucepan 'shows signs of being at a-lj wiorn it. should be returned, and in any case nothing of an acid nature should be allowed to remain in it while cooling. The same with regard to zinc and lead vessels, which are unsafe, for cooking purposes'. Those of tin, steel, iron or nickel aire the safest bo employ. Remember, too, th/ait it ia better to use a wooden spoon than; one of metal when stirring milk or soups, and that before using baking pans you should grease them inside thoroughly oither with butter or lard. In order to prevent the tins from, burning it is as well to take the'precaution of sprinkling the shelves of the oven with salt. A mew idea is to put the flavoring of cake,' pudddnps, sauoes, etc., with the butter. The butter holds the flavor, bettor than any other medium. Try potatoes, boiling, with a sharp, thin-blade knife. They will, hot split apart, as they do when they are tried with a fork, which, acts like a wedge, and thiey will not show where they are pierced. t CONVICT MABIUAtiES.

A PRETTY PANEL. A very pretty way to fill up an ugly space between two door casings which is not,suitable to bang a picture in, or in case one does not own a picture (he proper size and shape, is to take a length of china silk of a harmonious tint,, and lay it in tucks standing upward. It is necessary to'begun' at the tap of thai space, at the frieze, i�� possible, and lay tho lucks deep enough to hold up photographs. These tucks should be tacked with brass headed tacks to keep them in place, and the silk drawn ligliLly across the space. This is a pretty decoration even wi'b bUL a few pictures if the oolor ia well chosen. Where there are a great many pictures and the background ia completely covered, a firm 'quality of a Te<ss'expensive'material will do just a-s well. Where there is a set of pictures which would, make a straight string of views, across the panel the silk can be especially arranged so as to form a top fokl ad weil as the Iowei' holding fold with pretty effect. ��� A lattice of ribbons or tapes may be u.:��d in the sJaane way, and suoh! a collection is always far more interesting than, in a basket or album; both ,o�� which are so terribly passe (hat they are never seen nowadays, except as lueirloomis. .

SAFETY PIN'S VERSATILITY. It Hnkei in Excellent Tniie Needle. SuritaaaiiiK the Hntrpln. Whon a woman loses her tape noedlo tho olevorest expedient is a safety pin. The resourceful woman who has just hit upon this novel way out of the- difficulty never la clroumvonted by trifles, and every woman who tries this improvised tape noodle will bless tho birthday.of that cleverwom- an. ��� Thoway to uselfc lsthls: Stick the point of tho pin through the . tape or ribbon, elasp the pin, use either end as a loader, and there you are, with a smooth, blunt implement, which' w'h . not only weave through bauds or insertion perfectly,, but will hold the ribhon with, abaolutoly so- ourity to the finish. When a woman wants a tape needle and hasn't one she is tho most helpless creature oh tho foco of the earth: .;��� Mostly sho hasn't one. She thlnkB she has, of course, aa no well regulated wbrkbaskot is complete without it, but the times she searches for it In vain aro post all counting. A tape needle is a slippery little thing that possesses a positive genius for disappearing. Lay it down a minute, and it will walk oil with Itself in a manner equaled only by a man's shirt studs. Its aggravating propensities would fill a chapter, and ono woman vows it was the knowledge of this that gave birth to that succinct phrase, "the total depravity of "inanimate things." Tho worst of it is that when a tape needle ls wanted It is wanted badly. .lust as ��� a woman Is ubout to put oua petticoat, for Instance, the tape Blips out of the band and sho can't byjmy possibility repair damages without a tape noedlo. If, she finds hers, all is well. If it has taken unto itself legs, all Is not well, and she goes tlirough throes of, annoyance unappreciated by the .masculine mind So, too, whon the snowy piles of lingerie como up from the: luundry, and yards of fresh "baby" ribbon are at hand to add the finishing touch, it is a trial to tho .spirit to havo the dainty garments around for hours and finally put away rlbbonless because no needle Is forthcoming. . Women have beon known to resort to a hairpin, hut it is an unsatisfactory substitute. The ribbon usually slips off of it when it is about half way through the insertion, and, moreover, the sharp points of the pin play liavoo with the delicate lace. So the safety pin is a suggestion worth knowing, and tho woman who learns this trick of using it can let the tape needle go its elusive way. ;.

We refer to the quotations of wages in other mining districts. They are as follow/a: In California, $2.20 for 10 hours with $19 a month for board, leaving $47 profit; in Leadville, an average of 82.50 for 10 hours ; in Nevada, S3 with $24 a month for board ; in Arizona, an average of S3 25 for 10 hours* and $26 for board ; in Utah the average is $2.75 for 8 hours. Mgured out, it will be seen ^befllMninolReview SATURDAY. APRIL 14, 1900. THOSE APPEALS. With gall only exceeded by their maliciousness the leaflet up the gulch and the Silverlonian accuse Mr. Cliffe, of this paper, with filing nine hundred appeals against the election lists of the Slocan, for tlie purpono of wholesale disfranchisement in the constituency. One of the prints asserts that tlie appeals are mostly against miners, as if there ever were, nnd much less now,900 miners, British subjects entitled to vote.in tho Slocan. Mr. Cliffe has filed about 100 appeals against such names as li. H. Pitts, mayor of Sandon, E wen A. Cameron and Neil McDonald, and none of them miners, that are duplicated on the lists ; about as many more against such as H. C. Kennedy, W. S. McLeod, F. H. Sheppard and A; Mc- FarlaiTc that are known to be dead, some for a length of time, and possibly n couple of hundred more, against, such names as Peter Annance, Eli Carpenter, Albert G. Kerlin, etc. that are known by'many people to be out of the country. In every case, where he had not personal knowledge of the ���������facts, he got the best information he could from the oldest and best posted citizens of th'.. several towns of the district. This i������ all the foundation there is for the libelous accusations of our confreres. It ;s, of course, possible in such a range of work that a few appeals may be made in the wrong; but if our cotems arc as anxious to have a proper voters' list in the district as they are to vilify their neighbors, from r,the worst of all motives���������ma!ice���������,all��������� they have to do is to make diligent enquiry and if thoy find any appeals entered by Mr. Cliffe against any one wrongly, they will be promptly withdrawn. Is this fair, or unfair? It is known to many citizens that in the last elections no less than three persons in Sandon not 011 the voters'lists voted here and elsewhere on the names of absentees, and no fair man can desire that opportunity should be left open for repetitions of this kind. In short we have heard of as many as 30 or 40 personations in the last contest. Surely our cotems will not say it is wrong that its recurrence should be guarded against. In most of the eastern provinces the moment a man leave3 a constituency to reside in another his name is subject to cancellation in thc division he has left, and is eligible for going on in that to which he is removed. Care is particularly necessary in this province, where a voter located in the most remote corner of any constituency can vote in any other place in that division. Personal acquaintance by tlie scrutineers with the voters is out of the question in most cases, which renders a clean list the more necessary to avoid personation and other frauds. We state now, from Mr. Cliffe's personal inspection of the lists with persons most capable-of judging in their own localities, that there are not at the present time more than 1,000 or 1,200 eligible voters in thc Slocan, and there are over 2,000 names to the fore, counting those already on and applications to go on. We ask the public, we even ask the vilifiers, if it is in the interest of the country or of public morality in any form that this kind of thing should ��������� be continued ? We understand some other parties have filed some appeals, but, of course, Mr. Cliffe cannot speak of their merits, and is only responsible for those he has filed himself. We have always said, and we say it again, the franchise is too wide for the country's welfare; but while the law stands as it is we are desirous of allowing every man to vote who has properly registered and is entitled to vote, but none others. This does not satisfy our confreres; honesty alone in a voters' list will never serve their purposes. Who then is impertinent, the man who would like a clean list or the man who defends a stuffed one? A clean list never suits a political crook. \ We littlo know tho toil and hardship that then who make tlio "StaiT ol Life'* undergo.

It will readily be conceded that the climate of some of the states compared is more agreeable, though certainly not more healthy, than that of this province, and air the living expenses are less there' than here, as some of the papers contend, but this is only one side of the argument. One principal element in the regulation of wages, the world over, is the value of the laborer's output.. If a man per day turns out more money's worth in B. C. than he could in any of she states compared, the owners could afford to pay him more; but if he turns out less, it is proof that the owner cannot pay him as much. If it was a fact that the law of the land compelled the resident miners to. work for the resident owners, then the matter shouldbe compared from more liberal premises ; but as it does not, the value of the miner's daily output must remain an element in fixing bis daily wages. We repeat that it is not enough for miners' unions and miners to take up the wages paid in other countries and compare-those:-of this, unless they are also in a position to show the value of a miner's day's output is aa much to a British Columbian as it is to the owner of other countries. The world over, there is expected by the owner a relative return for wages paid, and it is not too much to expect it in this'country as well as elsewhere. It will, we are aware, be argued that this is not fair logic in British Columbia, for many of the properties are only in their prospective stage. This is all very true, and is a main argument against our restrictive legislation. If the mines turn out exceeding.in wealth those of older countries, whose developed wages are compared with ours, then our restrictive legislation does an injustice to our miners today ; and, if later work shows that our mines in the aggregate do not equal in wealth those ol the countries compared, present wages do an injustice to the owners. It appears to us that the position of the unions of this country would be much stronger, and certainly more reasonable and just, if they were in a shape to compare the value of a day's output in other countries with the value of a miner's day's output here, and reason out an adjustment on these lines.. If they cannot do this they have no right to be either assertive or dominating. Justice all around would simply lead them to consider what wages they could take here, living and every other circumstance considered, and ask for them. If they could not get these wages on proper business representations they should simply go where they could get them and leave an open field for those who could accent them. Wages can no more have an unalterable, unbending value in any country, regardless of value to employer, than can a ton of coal or a bushel of wc.it to a producer. Circumstances must modify the one as well as tlie other. It is just as reasonable for a dry goods merchant to say to a community : ''I could sell such and sucH'quantities of goods for such and such prices tit such a place and I must have''.the same sales and the same prices here, as it is for a miner to say that because miners are paid'such and such wages in suclvand such a country they must, be paid the same here because it costs him so much to live. In every case, and in every country, the value of any man's, time to his' employer, in production, must be'a chief element in determining his wages; and if the latter are not satisfactory, while he has freedom to go where he likes to do,better, he must allow equal freedom to the employer to engxige his labor wherever it best suits his purpose. This is the liberty of any and every free country. This, however, will he all Greek to the Nelson Tribune. ; ;< with a nursing baby has two lives to support.

SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, Toronto. '._ ;.. ..,.���������. . "JOE."':.:���������.,",..'.. \ As ArtemusWard said of the mon- key,'-the people's Joseph must be."an amoosirig little cuss." Ho scoured the country from one end to the other in search of cabinet ministers, and failed to get it man of any standing or reputation. He then made up his structure of men never heard of before, and, consequently, with no ability. After parading the farce before the country until endurance became exhausted, he urged his following to call a Liberal convention that he might so manipulate the party as to drag it around after his chariot wheels. The; convention was called, and it refused to pass a resolution endorsing his leadership, showing that at least half the Liberal party of the country refuses "to follow his lead. This does not deter Joe. A man with ordinary sensitiveness in Joe's shoes would pt once go to the lieut.- governor and tender his resignation, knowing he could not accomplish the task he had undertaken ; . but none of this for Joe. Neither hints nor open declarations are of any service to Joseph. He now says'he is going on with his former intentions���������to make preparations for a generarelection. Fully assured that he can never secure one- third of the votes of the country, it has no influence'on Joe ; he is going to brazen it out, aud to such an end ! A farmer is known by his furrow a9 " the carpenter is known by his chips." It takes a firm hand and a true eye to turn a straight furrow. No wonder the farmer wears out, spite of exercise and fresh air. One day's work on the farm would tire ninny a trained athlete. And the farmer works hardest of all. The first up and tlie last to bed, feeding his team before he feeds himself, his work is practically never done. Why docs not tlie farmer treat his own body as he treats the land he cultivates? He puts back in phosphate what he takes out in crops, or the land would grow poor. The fanner should put back into his body the vital elements exhausted by labor. If he does not, he will soon complain of "poor health." The great value of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is in its vitalizing power. It gives' strength to the' stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the blood. It supplies Nature with the substances by which she builds up the body, just as thc farmer supplies Nature with the substances that build up the crops. " I write to tell you of the great benefit I received from thc use of Dr. Pierce'* Golden Medical Discovery," writes Mr. G. B. Bird, of Dyrn- Bide, Putnam Co., \V. Va. " It cured me of a very bad case of indigestion associated with torpid liver. Before I began the use of 'Golden Medical Discovery' I had no appetite; could not sleep nor work but very little. The tittle that I ate did not agree with me, bowels constipated, and life was a misery to me. I wrote to Dr. Pierce S'viug the symptoms, and asked for advice, e advised me to try the ' Golden Medical Discovery ' so 1 began the ute of it and after taking four bottles I felt bo well that I went to wort; but soon got worse, so I again began the use of it and used it about eight weeks longer, when I was permanently cured."

''If after a fair test, at the present rate of wages, it (the eight-hour law) is found to work to the disadvantage of the country, then the wageB can either be re-adjusted or tbe law. repealed." ������������������;..���������". Will our neighbor please give the public an outline of how the wages can either be reduced or the law repealed, even if its operation under experiment is found most unsatisfactory, without a strike by the men following ?. There are some results that may always be looked for, and repeated trouble is the inevitable after the repeal of this law or a reduction of wages.' A much better plan is to have, all the trouble over at once, and end it for all time. , While it is quite true that many of the differences between the mine owners and the men in the Kootenay are being adjusted permitting operations to be begun to a considerable extent, it is evident the country will not prosper as it ought, to while legal restrictions stand in the way, as at present. It is the aim of all classes, under British institutions, to possess freedom of action in all matters of sale and purchase of their own property; and, of course, this is impossible under present legislation, and the more particularly as the restrictions were adopted for the benefit of the politicians only. ��������� , ' A HALF-CENTURY RECORD. : Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry has now been in use for 50 years _and there is nothing to equal it as a "rapid and effective cure for bowel complaints'of young or old.

To the Editor or The Mining Review: Dear Sir,���������-Under tbe head of Extra Local Items, in your issue of April 7, , appears an article relative to the death of Michael Talty, who died at the Ivanhoe rump. Michael Talty roomed and boarded with us in the Hotel Balmoral from March S until March 29, and during that time, I can say posi-' tively that I never saw him under the influence of liquor in any way. He has also been personally known by residents of this town for, at least, nine months none of whom ever knew of his /..���������'.���������being addicted to the habit of drink- ' ing. Feeling under obligations to the friends of the deceased, to whom such an announcement as that in your issue ��������� referred to might be a source of ser- . row, I hereby submit to you this article and ask you to give same space in your ."���������-'������������������ next issue. ���������, ���������Yours respectfully, > Robert McDonald.

"It would/ he disagreeable lo be re- - fused,'.' remarked the lady impersonally. "Th.it," tho gentleman jons-idercd. "depends.

' Mr. Mai kbam went to a neighboring drawer and produced thence a cloth, with which he covered the cage. "You are not turo whether you arc in love with me or no?" remarked the young laxly, as the bird's indignant silence succeeded to his previous irrelevant rhapsody.

"I admit it sounds, perhaps, imp-roper. 1 merely mean that marriage as the iieoeasary .denouement of being what is called in love seems to nui' quite a doubtful expedient." "When there is no question of being in love," he continued, relaxing himself by_aa short walk to the other end of the'room and buck, "1 think marriage not a bad arrangement.

"Not," he replied, "till, say, October. .India iii the middle of the son you would not enjoy a bit. really fear unless we do get married, tbo. trip is impossible. All the siime, I should love to explain the Taj (to you, aud Shah Aiim's mosque at Aimijedabad���������oh, and the Gol.dau Hate, at San Francisco; it is tiresome that I cannot take you there without marrying you." "You could take muinma as well, and Aunt Adeliza, perhaps." '.'That would l.e dilferent. A superior plan for those. to Whom it commends, itself, but personally I should not liko it' so much." Miss Greatorex laughed. Mr. Mark- harn left his sequestered seat 'and took one beside, her on, the'little-sofa. "Were you thinking," asked .the lady, "that you" would like to take- my hand?'' : "1 have thought, that, before. I was thinking of taking it. Now, if we were married," he. continued after an interval, "this .would be my-business. It would l>o exjiected of me.' as it itt oi a ben 'to lay eggs, or tho Priucs of Wales to lay corner-stones." "And then it would cease to pleuse?" "It would then become detestable.

When T think of it f nearly tako a hansom and come lii.ro to lay myself at your feet." "Why don't you??" "For the reai-otm detailed above.

The chilling of and contracting of blood vessels is therefore great, and to the ice water is ascribed the catarrhal condition of the stomach so often suffered from. Dr. Brubaker says water should not be taken with a meal to any.great extent, but that hot water.taken before breakfast prepares the stomach for action, stimulating the gastric juices and washing itwjji there- mains of the last meal. Another glass of hot water taken between breakfast and luncheon will be found , beneficial and better than all drugs for curing, indigestion, since in pausing into the blood the food products are carried along with it.

'",' Tho whoop of the red sklnnet. huntsmen wasanwvered in ravines and canyons long ago, when,' the prairies of tho west were dotted with .buffalo "herds, and when thia broad country had no homes but wljj- wams,'no people but Indians. Tho answering halloo grew fainter, and finally died away, leaving the hunters puzzled to account for it. They asked their chiefs, ' and this is the explanation as tho genera- ' tions of timo have changed it. ��������� ,, TurtJo Dove,' who lived years ago In Bear's gulch, In the Black Hills of tho Dakotas, had one little babe, a boy, whom she called Saga Cock, and a girl of 5 named Ohotou. It was' her custom whon sho daily, gathered seeds ln the valley to curry Sago Cock about on her back, as Indians do,, but one day sho .grew so tired of her burdon that sho laid Sago Cock, wh������ was fast asleep, under a sugebush and told Ohoteu to watch him. Turtle Dbvo went farther and farther down the gulch, and while she was away an old witch came hobbling up. : "Ohoteu, Is the little boy your brother?" sho asked. She knew without asking that It was Sage Cook, but' Ohoteu,, who had been taught that witches were more likely to carry off boys than girls, though frightened, niiswered quickly, "No, it is my sister." Then the witch, although had enough herself, scolded the trembling little maiden for her lie and changed hereeli into so terrible a shape that OhotcuWaa so frightened she could not intorfore when tho wlich run off with her littlo brother, taking him to her homo on the side of a. distant mountain. This old witch was so ugly that no man would marry her. Sho had decided that her only courso was to capture u husband, and this was her reason for wanting Sage Cock. When she. reached her cavo, she- began transforming the baby Into a full grown 'man.'' First she pulled at one limb, then another, until each was the size of a man's. Finally Sago Cock, of u man'l nize and with a man's strength, stood.before her. She at last "had a husband. But In spito of his size Sago Cock'in his heart and brain was still a baby and apt to do the same foolish things a baby would do. Tho witch had to teach him to hunt and . Unhand to cat dried buffalo meat. It was not long after the kidnaping ot Sage Cock before Turtle Dove had all th������ seeds she could carry, and returning to tho spot where she had left her children sha met Ohotou crying, nnd was told what had happened. In great sorrow, the motht-r started immediately on the long, hopeless aearoh for Sage Cock. Her brother, Kaglo, becauHe he was a great traveler, offered to aid her, and, by flying ' very swiftly and without rest, ho visited a gieat deal of territory. But it was months before ho spied the witch. He did not then know that tbo man with her was Sage Cock. " - Bub when he told Turtle' Dovo of what he hud seeu sho started at onco with1 him for the witch's mountain, sure thut if tho man was her boy transformed by tha wicked magic of the witch ho would ntlH recognize her voice. When the two dually reached tho neighborhood where the witoh had previously boon seen Turtle Dovo climbed into a tree and cried aloud moat mournfully, whilo Eaglp, from . another tree, keenly watched the effect 'on Sago Cock, who Immediately recognized the voice and cried repeatedly to the witch, "I hoar my motheri I hear my motherl" But the witch only laughed and told him to hide in the stomach of a mountain sheep which was lying near, a trophy of .tho boy man's skill With tho bow and arrow Obedient, Sage- Cock crawled into tlio aheep and tho old witch followed him. Turtle and Eagle were puzz-led at ������h������ sudden disappearance of the two, but had no thought of' investigating the interior, workings of tho'' dead 'mountain' sheep. They wandered aimlessly about for several days, when Ehglo decided that the missiug pair, and particularly Sago Cock, who wa������ half a baby, would noon ho go hungry they would havo to come out of their hiding ftn food. He killed a rabbit and hung it a������ tho top.of a innall pine tree, peeled tho tree pf its bark and limba that it might bo next to impossible to climb it, and then from the branch of a groat tajiiaruck lie watched dcvelopmentB. It was but a few boura bofore the witch appeared, at Eagle had expected. Alid when alio saw tho rabbit, which wan tho nearest food at hand, she began nwkwm d- ly climbing the tree. So slow was sho that Euglo, who had soun hor emerge from tha sheep, had time to pull Sage Cock out of the sheep's paunch and carry him off, whilo-the witch'was grunting and Imaging tlio tree, her oyer, fixed on tho rabbit above. Euglo carried his prize to tho sums spot under the uagebush from which Sag* Cook wus stolen, and so noon as Sn.je Cock, now a man, touched tho earth he wan io- Btantly transformed Into tho same buby Ii* had been w-hou he had disaiipcured. A* Eagle's tracks were washed out by rainstorms, when the witch discovered hor low sho wag unitblo to trace him. But sho jhiw some foatliers which nho knew were Eagle's, and at once divined wliat had imp pun'ed. Sho decided to go to her grandfather, a rattlesnake, for protection and for hia aid in uvonging hersolf.

' A well-known ruagaziue writer has recently stated that in matters: pertaining to the ndvai'cament of women the Anglo-Saxon race seems to have made greater progress than any other nationalities. In Germany women are not permitted to fcirm political associations, while in Russia neither men nor women can band together in any. organization of a political nature without special consent of. the I imperial government. In,Holland such an act is. unconstitutional, but in France, long before French women displayed any de-sire to siudy medicine or obtain, a university education, I he doors ot scholastic institutions were thrown.open to them. And even English aud German women availed them- seilves of the privileges of becoming graduates of the University of Paris. BEES ARE STRONG.
