BC Historical Newspapers
The Nelson Economist was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from July 1897 to July 1906. The Economist was published by D. M. Carley, and edited by C. Dell-Smith. In August 1898, The Economist absorbed a paper called The Nation. In July 1903, the title of the paper was changed from The Nelson Economist to The Economist.

Joseph Martin, who, a few weeks ago might have likened his coudi- Mon to *^^ of Napoleon at Elba and murmured, "I nn a dcrca^ed man/' now reigns, to the great dis- tre<s apparently of hath Conservatives and Liberals.

MeLagan, editor -i'.��d pu!��IisluM* of the Vancouver Wwhl. All other Liberals have denounced Mr. Martin, and it is be- ':wed that nothing would give the Laurier Govern- '���n��?.t greater pleasure than to see the troublesome fo- A-nli omipietelv submerged, never to rise again badly demoralized %s the Liberals. It has been the hope of a large number of Conservatives to fight the next Provincial election out on party lines. Various reasons have been advanced for this desire, the principal one being that the party would be responsible for the acts of its followers in the Provincial Legislature. But, unfortunately, a large number of influential Conservatives are averse to a party contest, believing that the issues in the Province and Dominion . are so widely divergent-as to lead to endless confusion. It was reported last week that Sir Hibbert Tapper, who had formerly declared for party lines, had changed his views and had now come out for a combination of the best elements of both parties, with a view of overthrowing Lieutenant-Governor Mclnues and Joseph Martin. Indeed, it said that Mr. Charles Wilson, Q. C, had expressed great0 sorrow at the change of front of Sir Hibbert, and had boldly stated so in open,meeting. Latef reports would seem to modify the position of Sir Hibbert Up in the Kootenay, political matters have reached that point where no man can make them out, and with a view of arriving at some understanding, a meeting of Conservatives will be held in Nelson this week, to which delegates have, been invited from every point in the Kootenay. This, it is believed, will go far to clear up the: political atmosphejsril^ex- plain matters that are not now generally understood. *Jv 'Hat as it may, the situation at the present time ������'fvi'u* ample scope for observation and reflection. 1 -a Liberal*, as a whole, while declaring acrainst the >��� induction ot Federal party \[\ws into Provincial , ��::i��^, arc particularly active in the w.iy of organ- ������A', l!l(ii\*0 t iw�� Pn \x*s tuM'i ! . iruH��!7(ir- 1��.��^ lv***" ivvllmg throng h the.

Other Lib- ��� ia nave declared that thev will not follow the die- Jiioj) n\ the in 'chine, but will xnnie with moderate ' *)Nervatives, independent of party, to overthrow )v-ph Martin and make it easy 'for the Ottawa Gov- L'*'>:nent-todeal with Lieut.-Governor Melnnes. Again, there are a large number of people throughout the Kootenay, both Liberals aud Conservatives, who profess to believe that a united deputation from the Kootenays, irrespective of party politics, could accomplish more for the sections of country represented than the present system of representation. It is contended, and possibly justifiably so, that the Kootenays, while contributing so much to the general revenues of the Province, is being flagrantly neglected, arid that this is directly attributable to lack of united action on the part of pur representatives. It is further contended that four or live men, acting in concert, could bring about the desired change. This, of course, is a subject for considerat 16n, and comes properly vvithin the re I'm of ^speculation. From The Economist's point of view, a Kootenay delegation, composed exclusively of Conservatives, would about nil the bill, but no doubt a large number of Liberals l believe that some other kind of a delegation could accomplish equally as much, if not more. (:s th e other hand, the Conservatives are quite as Nevertheless, there is a ieeling, in which many pf the bpst men of both parties participate, that the tiuie has arrived when the best men in the country mtist -t >.

Ignorance of prevailing conditions here lias retarded progress to an alarming extent, and if we are not to remain at a standstill altogether, a great change must take place in our representation. We want men who understand the needs of the Kootenays and equipped with ability to make themselves heard when they get to Victoria���not sphinxes, who are incapable of comprehending the wants of the country and vote without regard to the consequences of their acts. If we are content with that sort of representation, why not have the affairs of the country attended to by proxy ? A* tins paper has before intimated, we believe there are enough good men in, the Conservative ranks to bring about the desired result, as a party, but should a ma* jority of Conservatives express ;��� desire to waive party affiliations in the meantime, and go in for the establishment of a strong business government, this paper will accept the decision without ���.�� murmur. history." And to these names might Roberts. Kitchener, While and French. But we believe it should be left with Conservative-? themselves to decide what line of action they will take in future. If any attempt is made to inject outside influence into the deliberation of this question, it may give rise to s jsoicions that will militate against the success of the party in future elections���both Provincial and' Dominion. During the c-ming campaign, the speakers will be asked point blank many questions, and an evasive answer will ��mly work to the disadvantage of die c tndid ues h may happen that many questions discussed here will have more or less influence on the success of the party m the East. It-will be well that the Conservative party throughout the Dominion be not placed in a false position by the action of individual members of that party here. v. ������ ���'���'"' ".V ���--.'- ' 'l}'.

Mr. Race is a very affable, handsome gentleman. ' <��� , THE NELSON ECONOMIST 0 many years she belonged to a past age. One who came in her presence could scarcely avoid the feeling and belief that he talked to a ghost. Why not pass a law that will compel everyone to work eight hours a day ? The Ontario Liberals have dispensed with the services of Organizer Alexander Smith, which leads an exchange to remark somewhat facetiously, that it is probably the intention of the government to dispense with the machine one wheel at a time. A nkw law firm in Nelson is composed of Messrs. Davis, Bowes & Ward. Mr, Davis is the well-known Vancouver barrister. Mr. Howes has practiced law in ���Nelson for years, and Mr. Ward is a sou of Mr. W. ���0. Ward, head of the Bank of British Columbia in this Province, At a largely attended meeting of Liberals, held at Vancouver, last Friday, Hon. Joseph Martin ex�� pressed himself in favor of party lines. IE Joseph Martin has overlooked anything in the construction of his platform, he would be pleased to i i hear about it at once, so that it; can be incorporated therein before the general election. Nki-son has got beyond that stage when the .Kastcrn wholesalers can flood the load merchants with old shop-worn goods. We must have the best or none at all. -II c The Detroit Tribune speaks plainly. It says: "They have asses among the British, too. The Stars and Stripes are hoisted to celebrate a British victory/' It is becoming painfully apparent that His Wor. ship the Mayor has im particular use for the Tramway Company. The fact that the Methodist clergymen of Southern ���'California are praying for rrin, has roused a spirit of ievity in some and in others excited a suspicion of the ���efficacy of prayer. As yet the prayers of the Methodists have not iieen answered, but they will persevere to the end. The kilt as a uniform is not without its drawbacks in the South African war. One of .the Scotch soldiers, who encountered a series of barbed wire fences, writes; "I came out a bleeding mass, with my kilt hard a starboard, my khaki flag half left turn, while my sporran remained dangling on the wire." If His Worship really desires to strike an effective blow at the Tramway Company, he should introduce a by-law prohibiting the overcrowding of street cars. When Sir Charles Tupper, Bart., through the generosity of a patriotic citizen, arranged for the insurance of the lives of the Canadian contingent, the Grits sneered and said it was all done for political effect. Those who scoffed then can pray now, for already $31,000 in death claims has been recognized and will be paid at once. ���The Toronto Telegram notes a remarkable resemblance between Joubert and Joe Martin, because neither of them is dead every time his death is reported. As the usual;' spring rush of visitors to Nelson progresses, the.demand on the resources of the Nelson library increases. The reading room is crowded every night, and a proposal to get more accommodation is now being considered. The Ottawa Free Press believes that the way political matters are being "run" in this Province, is scarcely calculated to raise in general estimation or;. Be productive of the advancement of the Province, socially or materially. The Vancouver World is authority for the statement that the citizens of Ladysmith do not eat horse m<-tt any more -since horsetilities have ceased. It is understood that Hon. J. Fred Hume is engaged writing a novel, to be called, "The Story of a Blighted Life." Laov i.ouise Madkun Tidhk, who died at Woodstock recently, aged 97, danced at the.'famous ^'iH in -Brussels the night before the battle of Water- lo<>and ^irtkil on'the Duke of Wellington's sword when lie started for the field-of battle.- What a world oi great events passed before the vision of this lady during her long life after that wonderful battle. For Referring to Mr. Martin's delay in goingdo the country, Mr. James Angus writes thei; Victoria Colonist ::��� ���������".To spend three ���months', income in England, which had not been voted by the House of Commons; would not only terminate any ministry, but would end even the monarchy itself. The holding of the strings of the purse is the guarantee of freedom from encroachments by the crown on the free institution" of ������ 1 "A England.

(Utdyumiih, March lst,'!90(M (>h, that hist day hi Lucknow fort! We knew that It was the last; That the enemy's'lines crept surely on, " And the end was coming fast. I here was one of us, a corporal'* wife, A fair, young, gentle thing, Wasted with fever in the siege, And her mind wus wandering. Shu slept Ilk** a child on her fathers floor, I u the fleck.ng of woodbine-shade, \Vh��n the house-dog sprawls by the oj*m door, And the motbei^Mvheel Is stayed. II was smoke and roar and powder-stench, And hopeless waiting for death ; A nd the soldier** wife, like a full-tired child, S*H��niwl warce to draw her breath. 1 Mink to gleep and I had my dream Of an English village-Uine And wiill and garden���but one wild sereatn Hro ight me buck to the roar again. There Jessie Brown stood listening. Till a sudden gludne&s broke All over her face, and she caught my hand And drew me near as she s|K*ke : "The Hielamlers! Ob J dinua ye hear Tlu* slogau far awa ?

They listened for life; the rattling fire Far off, and the far-off roar Were all; and the colonel shook Lis head, And they turned to their guns once more. i ut Jessie said: "The slogan's done; Butdinnaye hearit noo? The Campbells are cumin' ! It's nae a dream ; Our succors hae broken through !" We heard the roar and the rattle afar, But the pipes we could not hear; So the men plied their work of hopeless war, And knew that the end was near. 11 was not long ere it made its way��� A shrilling, ceaseless sound ; ft was no noise from the strife afar. F * Or the aappers underground. 11 was the pipes of the Highlanders ! And now they played *'Auld Lang'.Syne" ; It came to our men like the voice of God, And they shouted along the line. And they wept, aud shook one another's hands, And the women sobbed in a crowd ;, And everyone knelt down where he stood And we all thanked Gad aloud. That happy t me, when we welcomed them, Our men put Jessie first; And the general gave.her his hand, and cheers Like a storm from the soldiers burst And the pipers' ribbons and tartans streamed, Marching round and round our line ; And our joyful cheers were broken with tears As the pipes played "Auld Lang Syne.1' ���Robert Lowell.

The voice that came to me over the wire I at once recognized as Polly's���there's no mistaking it. "1 want you to go with me to the charity ball tonight/' she said. " I M���but her sentence broke off sharply, and for a few seconds I heard the buzzing of many voices. Then I caught another word, evidently the last of her sentence���tickets. *L__ Tickets! The words dazed me. Tickets to the charity ball! That meant money���much money. Again I heard Polly's voice: "Of course you'll take me. Good-by." I made my way back to my desk and, began to ���a * ,. ��- w figure. Two tickets at $to each, $20���I thought ���admission was at the rate of $10 a head; I know ���better now. Flowers* a carriage and a few little etceteras, $10. Total,��$30. Thirty dollars! And here it was near the etm\ of the month, with my total cash assets but a few times 30 cents* I valiantly set about to borrow the amount from ��� the fellows in the office. They turned out their pockets and laughed at me. Then it was forced home ���that I was not going to the dunce that night. I had to get out of going to the ball some way���there was nothing else for it. I thought of semling Polly a note saying that I had suddenly been called out of the city. But that was an Did trick, and she would understand. I took further thought, the result of which was that I decided the cleverest plan would be to appear willing to go myself, but to so arrange affairs that Polly could not. This pleased me, and after still further cogitating. I called up over the long-distance telephone a friend of mine in Springfield, where I knew Polly also had a friend, one Miss Mabel-Hubbard. I implored 'him to assume Miss Hubbard's name and telegraph Polly late in the afternoon that he would be in the city over slight and must see her. I further asked ���that he send a second telegram at 9 o'clock, saying that he could not come. My friend promised, being a very obliging fellow, without a conscience, and I ���went back to my work with a lightened heart. I appareled myself in my best clothes that night and, without tickets, carriage, flowers or money, save ..for .'a dollar and an inconsiderable portion thereof, went around to play my little game of bluff I found Polly in her ordinary gown, staring down the ridge of her nose. I had exacted this, but assumed surprise.. '���'"What, not dressed yet?'\Icried. "No; I'm not. What's more I'm not going to be.'' Her chin dropped disconsolately down in to her ���palms.- .. .���������������.���;���" 1 put on ai mystified air. "You're not going to dress ? Why, what do you mean ? You 're .surely .not��� you're not going in that dress, are you?" "Not in this or any other. I'm not going at all. Prom her voice one raig|it have judged for her there was left neither happiness on earth nor hope of heaven. I dropped bewildered into a chair���I really think I did it well. "Not going at all!" J repeated. Again the little head wagged negatively. "I'can't Tom," she mourned. "And I wanted to go so much. I never heard of such luck! Why couldn't she have come some other night? It's mean! That's all there is to it." "What's the mutter��� why "can't you go? Something happen to your dress?" For answer Polly picked up a yellow envelope from the little table beside her and silently handed it to me. I had also expected it, but I think I put on a very good show of concern ss 1 dre\�� forth the telegram and read. .. "I am coming to Chicago this evening. Must see you. " * ��� Mabel Hubbard". I crumpled up the sheet of yellow paper and threw it into Polly's beribboned waste basket. "Well, now, this is a pretty how-to-do, isn't it?" I fumed, tramping up and down the room. "What the r\~���" I checked myself just in time. In my zeal to play well my part I had come near making a slip. "Oh say it if you walit to. I���I rathei wish you would���that's the way I feel myself. Here there are 365 days in the year���one just as good as another��� but she had to pick out this night, of all nights!", Polly threw one hand wearily outward. "It's a shame," I declared. "It's more then that���it's an awful shame. And it's a worse kind of a shame than that, too. You know the word���you can say it Tom." I said it promptly, albeit somewhat tearfully, and Polly nodded her head. "I suppose you'll spend the evening with me, all the same? You'll surely not run off up there by yourself. I'm too blue to be left alone. Take off your coat and gloves.'1 I hesitated���I was very sure of my position. "Aren't you going to stay with me? Please do Tom," she begged. "Oh, very well," said I, drawing off my coat with the air of one who is sacrificing his own pleasure to that of another. .'..������"I'll stay with you then;" I sat down and for the next half hour the only words spoken were in railing at fate and at Miss Hubbard. Then Polly began to see a glimmer of. hope By 10 ocloek she had discovered th t her telegram had not destroyed all the joy in the world. The same hour ���.'found.- me rather nervous, for the second telegram was due, and I was wondering how Polly would receive it. Ten, 20, 30 minutes passed. Then :ame a knock at the door. Polly answered the summons and I saw a maid hand her a yellow en- . a: "U 1 I-* c ",.1 -���v * 1, i vr A; i ���Ao-i I .'' ;A a s\* ' VjSI r ' -. >V--,; V e.
