EDITORIAL COMMENT With the British government heaping honors ob the head of the hero of Khartoum and our American cousins immortalizing the name of Dewey, in song and story, it seems to have occur��d to some oi��our eitizens that now would he a fitting time to get up a suitable testimonial to the Nelson puhlio school teacher whmredueed the young hoy Gates to a proper condition of respect for constituted authority. This matter was suggested at a down town hotel the other evening at dinner, and a dozen persons as one man arose and offered to contribute liberally towards providing Mr. Soady with a mark of their appreciation. One or two offered their services in circulating a- petition, all of which should be highly flattering to Mr. Soady. The Economist is not sufficiently acquainted with the Soady-Oates incident to discuss it at length, but this paper does desire to place itself on record as believing that the hoys of Nelson are the most in- c@rrigible lot that are to be found in any city on the continent of Ameriea. Of course there are good boys here, but in such environment it will only be a matter of time until they must become as evil as their associates. Evil communications corrupt good manners, and it would be more than a miracle if th�� young boys who have not already become contaminated would long be able to withstand f^fiitagion. This may be regarded as an exaggerated .view of the situation, but The Economist believes its contention will be borne out by two-thirds of our citizens. It is almost impossible to walk along the principal streets in the evening without hearing boys using the most profane and obscene language, and if any means are in contemplation to check theFe fearful, exhibitions the public are not aware of the fact. It is also paid that many of these boys devote much of their tin e at school to writing obscene notes to the little girls in attendance. Of course, it is a difficult matter with our schools in such a chaotic eon- dition as they are at present, to prevent such conduct, but it appears to us that the parents of these boj^s should endeavor to second tl e efforts.of the teachers to put a stop to i*.. Moreover, the police should make one or two arrests, and thus make an example of incorrigible youth?. - If something is not done, and that,.soon, to check the vicious habits of the youngsters, the jail had better be enlarged to accommodate the demand that will be made upon it in the future. The Dominion criminal statistics for last year-have been published, and are somewhat depressing. \"'.Crime seems to have been on the : -increase-, the total number pi eonvictions per thousand inhabitants being 11.06, as compared with 10 25 the previous year. In two Provinces only, namely,-Nova: Scotia and New Brunswick, have the convictions decreased, the increase in British Columbia being the greatest. The number of convictions in Brit- ist Columbia in 1897 amounted to 21.73 of every 10,000 of our population. In the previous vear the increase was onlv 17.86. The percentage of young offenders did not show any increase oyer the previous year, female offenders, however, were slightly less numerous than before, the percentage being '6.3. against 6.7. Offences against the person, such as inurder, manslaughter, assaults, and such higher crimes, showed an increase in four Provinces, but a decrease in Manitoba. Offences against property, with violence, which includes burglary, house and phop-Ureaking,' were particularly rife in British Columbia. Un^er the head oF other offences, the number of convictions increased by 105 during the year, the increase being mainly in New Brunswick, Ontario and British Columbia. Of the fin&s imposed, 47.04 per cent, were for offences against the liquor licenses acts, and 14.01 per cent, were for drunkenness. Each of these was less, however, than the corresponding percentages of the previous year. The Colonist last Wednesday had the following: There was a motion up in cham- 1.898.

T*?! like that they have been scourged with during the past few months. Mr. Martin's policy of economy is working positive injury to tl e government service. Disorganization prevails in every branch of the service, and tl e end is not yet. Good men are not disponed to wear the livery of Joe Martin and submit to the snubs and jeers of that autocrat for a paltiy salary. 7 The policy of the- former g y- ernment was to provide an efficient gmern- ment service���-one that was commensurate -with the gjrowinp: needs of the Province.y In doing .this, they believed that well-paid pnb- liaservaiits were the cheapest in the long run. V-- -t . A< a logical sequence, whatever sms were 1 lid at the door of the late government, ine'ii- cisnoy of public .service was not incudsd :n -the number. The-new governmen', or rather Joseph Martin, who is the present governmen, seems determined to flood7 the country with a horde of cheap,hungry office- eeker y Cheap men are given the places of tried arid f ..ithful r-ervants of the public, with the result, as we b fore pointed out, what was once a ihorousfhly efficient organization, is now re- duced to a staff of incapableclerks. 7 Thic announcement that D.

The cheeseparing policy pursued by the p.��- sent Government of British Columbia is a clog on.'.-he wheels of progres-s, and the panky manner in which it attempt \\ to effect a saving is w rthy of a Chinese coolie. The salaries of the officials in the Government employ and monies due to persons for work or mate ial contracted for, is now not paid when itiv-.dne, consequently a paltry saving of inter e t is effected at the expense of thos-e who hne given their services in good faith. Another little economy is to lengthen the hours of emp'oyraent and then dismiss efficient men in order to save their salaries. This might be right were the me-n underworked and if iheci-/il .-ervice appointment! were likely to be perm ment, wHh chances of promotion f r good service ; but according to the actions cf M ���. Joe Martin's government, the appoint m�� nis appear to terminate with the lives ol tJ e ministry that appointed them, and the only stimulus an officeholder has is to serve his pirty, at the expense of the.- pubic. This may be Mr. Joe Martin's idea of economy but it most certainly is not that of the buik of , ho electors. The country is new, it is de- \\e!uL ing rapidly, in con-equence of which ex penditure must increase if the country is to move along at all.

Canada, as the Mail and JEmpire says, need notimport \"spirit wrestlers\" from Russia when an election trial has proved the Nippissing Grits to be eminently competent wrestlers with all the spirits in sight. Libel suits are in the air these days. Mr. Ra1^, of the Rossland Miner, has caused the arrest of M r. Smith, of the Rossland Record, on a charge of criminal libel. It appears, from Mr. Race'* statement, that Mr. Smith attempted to ruin the former's character. Down at Victoria, Mr. W. H. Ellis and Mr. Charles Lugriri, of the Colonist, have been s immone.d for contempt of .court, at the instance.of counsel for Prentice, in the Liiloofet election case. Messrs. Ellis and Lugrin are still at large, but thsy will no doubt make au interesting fight for liberty and the freedom of the press. The Vancouver World of last Saturday says : \"It is now given out on reliable authority that the Government civil servant guillotine has been tied up until ^af.er the Legislature meets.

The Earl of Elgin, who is now returning to Great Britain after having successfully governed the, great empire of India, as its Viceroy, for five years, is a Canadian, he having been born, during his father's tenure of office as Canada's Governor General, at Monklands, near Montreal, on May 16th, 1849. He was educated at Oxford, and succeeded his father,7 who had been successively Governor-General of Canada and Viceroy of India^ to the exalted office of which latter place he was appointed on November 20th, 1863^ -The present Earl had previously held ��ffice as treasurer of Her Majesty's household., and First C Hrimissioner of Works. Scotsmen of Toronto remember with pride that the Earl of Elgin is. one of themselves, for when only two years of age he was made an honorary member ofthe St. Andrew's Society, a position h�� still retain*. On the occasion of h'\"s appointment to India a letter of congratulation was sent to him by his brother Scots of Toronto.

If Canadian workmen are equal if not superior to any why does Mr. Blair go to the United States to buy $200,000 worth of railway cars, asks the Hamilton Spectator. Some profess the belief that an effort is being made in certain quarters to muzzle the Press of British Columbia. An unbridled Press is very often a positive menace to the well being of a community, and where any attempt is made to interfere with the proper administration of justice we believe the person guilty o such offence should be made to suffer. O the other hand, if for the aggrandizement of a political clique, newspaper publishers and writers are to be cast into dungeons, it is time the public should be made aware of the fact. A free Press is synonymous with a free pe ] le, and it has been truly said that tyranny THE BCOUTOMISt. begins where free discussion and free criticism ends. We are not endorsing the position of the editor who practices genteel blackmail for a livelihood , nor do we uphold the blackguard scribbler whose conception of ecstacy is the begriming with mud his better-conditioned neighbor ; such creatures are beneath contempt ; but we do contend, without prejudice, that editors who are actuated only with a de- CWire to supply clean news and indulge in honest criticism, must not be interfered with in the performance of their lawful duty and in keeping credit with the public. In its battle against tyranny the Press will sooner or later prevail, for an editor more or less in gaol does not stop a printing press, and there are no self-respecting newspaper writers who 17, would not rather enjoy such hospitality as Her Majesty's prisons afford than be deprived of their inalienable right of free discussion and honest criticism.

The other day a young Canadian girl was engaged by a Buffalo firm to take a position on its staff; She crossed over and went to work, but the matter came under the notice of the United States officer who looks after alien labor and the Canadian girl was ordered back home.

In a report to the State Department, Washington, United States Consul Goodnow at Shanghai says the Chines�� have set up a mint at Chengtu, and in doing so they exhibited in & marked degree Chinese methods. The machinery came from an American manufactory at Bridgeport, N.J.j and was duly delivered &t the head of navigation on the Yangtse River. The Chinese authorities allowed the boxes to lie in the water for a month, and then, without cleaning, took them to Chengtu, a two months' journey. When the boxes were opened, they were found to be filled with mud, except where rats had made nests. The machinery was finally gotten together, but the dies were so badly rusted that they would have been condemned in America. The Chinese, however, made no objection to the imperfect places in the coin, apparently thinking them additional safeguards against counterfeiting. With the first day of the new century the ancient Austrian coin, the kreutzer, drops officially out of circulation, after a currency of something like four hundred years. It is retired in accordance with the convention establishing a copper currency of equal value fer all parts of the empire. It used to be circulated freely in North as well as South Germany, but for the past quarter of a century has not gone beyond the Austrian frontier. The Toronto Telegram thus tells why Canadians should be thankful: \" Canadians have perhaps more reason to observe Thankgiving Day than any similar number of people on earth. Never were people blessed with a better land or a land with a better peop'e. Canada's past is satisfactory, and her future is glowing bright with promises of greatness, which are likely to be cashed in some few years, this side of . the millennium. Canada suffers from no evils which her own people cannot cure, and Thanksgiving Day should be honoured in a spirit of gratitude to the Giver of All Good, and with a determination to make the country worthy of her opportunities.\" The News-Advertiser denies that it has any knowledge of how the Lieutenant-Governor will act in the event of a Government defeat.

Our voyage proceeded some days without event of any importance until the ' stern wheeler in our wake struck a rock, or a snag, as it afterwards proved to be, by the ex- perfcness of a bell driver who came to our aid from Chicago, and the ugly snag that had wrecked thirteen boats, thereby earning for that bend in the Missouri the name of. \"The steam boat's grave,\" was hauled up on our hurricane deck and a portion, resembling an old arm chair, was placed-in position behind the pilot house and was^almoit instantly appropriated by \"Nasty Jim\" as undisputably his own.

But the old captain in charge was more cautious and very doubtful of the light's glare and position, and er* allowing the pilot to tack, lifted his night glass to inspect, but it fell to the deck as he staggered back almost insensible with a horror-stricken cry. A young soldier standing near picked it up and gazed through it on a grewsome:. .ghastly sight..-It was not the longed for beacon of the agency, but a decoy light a mile back on the open. prairie, leaping high in the darkness, while hundreds of naked hostiles were roasting the corpse of the once outcast, \"Snag Nasty Jim.\" The relentless demons,had fished his dead body from the kind waters and had forgotten to pursue us in their hellish glee.

The Cranbrook Flerald reports that the bond on the Moyie and Queen of the Hills mine, which was held by the Fort Steele Development Syndicate of London, was no.t taken up. The last payment of $125,000, was to have havebeen made on the first of the month. 7 The Moyie Leader says: The preli mina ry survey for; the St. Eugene tram way for 11 e mine to the concentrator site is being made. The 100-ton ore bin at the mine is fin shed and the building of a 200-ton bin at this concentrator site will L��e started vvithin a week or 10 days7 Between 2,000 and 3,000 tons of ore will be shipped, from the miue this winter.' 7, 7-; / , -.--i-i-. Good progress is rvowT being made with development work on the 11 claims^ constituting the Leviathan Gold Mining &. Milling company, limited, opposite Kaslo. This proposition promises to hec me a very valuable property, the iron cropping (in places 50 feet wide) which can be traced for over 3 miles, all within the company's property, is in the igh't of ex��perienee at Rossland, and a Republic, a suflici&nlly good indication that pay or can be\"'easily' reached. Economical working sasiured from\" the fact that the property is only 3 miles from Kootenay Lake by easily constructed wagon road. An inquiry for a block o f a m i i I i o n p h a res fro ai-Lon d on, England, has been received and indications point to considerable interest in the company being manifested, owing largely to its . exceptional acreage in addition, to general possibilities., There has been an unusual amount of - �� activity displayed in the Cariboo district the past season principally around the old mining camps, Williams and Ligntning creeks, wh se former richness and present favorable conditions combined for acquiring suitable lax a- tions for developing has induced conservative mining men to visit Cariboo, and who have enlisted capital in their interprise for opening up man}7 of the old claims that were abandoned in the early sixties for the want of proper machinery to meet the difficulties common to deep mining. On Williams creek the Cariboo Geld Fields Co. possess one of the most valuable'properties in the Cariboo d s- trict, says the B. C. Mining ��� J.nirii'd.. It embraces many of the old locations noted for their marvelous richness, such as the R iby, Watty Tinker and Cameron claims, and it 's to be; hoped that next season thi-? company will be rewarded for their enterprise in establishing such a complete and costly plant by j duplicating the output of either..of the above mentioned- claims. Senator Campbeli, of California^ under whose direction the plant was put in operation late in the season, is a practical mining man. whose expeieace in alluvial deposits qualifies him to. express his views on such matters, is of opinion that this is \"one of the most promising properties in the Cariboo district.

The society iB cosmopolitan and all will be welcome. ^ Ymirites are agitating for a Sunday mail service. This is much needed, and would be a great convenience to all. We trust that the proper authorities will take this matter up. Tom Woods,,a very popular, man here, met with a seriou3 and distressing accidtn\", laso Wednesday, while working with a machii �� drill at the Porto Rio mine. In some man- nerli tippled over on. him, and crushed his side, driving his ribs into his lungs. _ Dr. Ke'- lar made a midnight trip to the mine. .At one time it was thought thrat the injured, man would not survive, but hopes are now held out ������for his recovery. We sincerely hope that Mr. Woods will soon be restored to health. Mr. J. C. Garvin has taken charge of the Porto Rico mill.

' Board of Trade A special meeting of the South Kootenay Board .of Trade was held in the board rooms, Monday night, the president, J. Roderick- Robertson, in the chair. The first business was the discussion of a petition from the merchant* of the city requesting the different railways in the Kootenay to grant an all round single fare rate between Ntlson, Rossland, Kaslo, Sandon, New Denver, Sl^cao City and other points, between December 10 and 20, in order to give people in outlying districts an .opportunity of' visiting the com-' ��� mercialcenters to purchase their supplies for the holiday season. It was pointed out that the increased freight and passenger traffic would more, than make up for the reduction in rates. The iov tation from the officials of the C. P. R. to the members of the Board to accompany the excursion on the new steamer Moyie and over the Crow's Nest Pass railway, was received and acceptsd. A letter was received from Hewitt Bostock M.

Tne steamer Ainsworth owned by Braden Bros, of Pilot Bay, encountered a squall at 7:30Vt>lock last evening, and waV swamped, bhe left here yesterday with 31 passengers and crew���9 of whom were drowned. W. J. Kane engineer of the Ainsworth, tells the story of the accident as follows : \"W* left Pilot Bay at 6.45 n. m., and at 7:30 we encountered a squall off'Crawford B&y. Ihe boat was pretty well loaded down at the bow with wood. She started pitehingand took in some Wittr at the bow. The wood was jet- tinned to lighten the bow, and that let the water rim aft. The steamer lurched to the right, then to the left and once more to port and swamped. When she first started to roll o��e of the crew, named Pariseau, launched a m��-soat and four went with him. The boat only got away from the steamer when she went down-four drowning, the one saved swimming to the wreck. I climbed up to the d*ck and launched the big lifeboat, but she was also upset by the Italian passengers in their scramble to get into her. Finally she was righted^and with two board* for paddles, we reached shore two and a-half miles away! Afrer^nghting a bonfire we returned to the steamer and| rescued those who were still clinging to-the wreck. The pilot boat from Kaslo took th ose who were saved to that place. Included in. the number who perished are Onarles Campbell, merchant, Pilot Bay : John Orurn, steward, and James McNeill, fireman. 1 he ns mes of the other six could hot be 1�� ��rned.

High up oh the lonely hillside Beside a shady road Where the flowers blossom fairest A little cottage stood. And in\"that little cottage A.mother fair; one day, Bent lovingly-oyer a little bed, . Where her cradled darlings lay. Her little -'Twin Roses\" she called them, And close to the garden wall, They planted a primrose, fresh from the glen, Aud a red rose bush, tall. . Now Primrose was like her own name flower-, Modest, and gentle, and fair, While Rose filled the house with laughter and-glee, A spirit that was everywhere. Now chasing the butterflies through the corn, Now picking the berries red, Or ^'helping mamma\" to cook and clean, Or putting her dollies to bed. Her eyes were bright as the morning star, Her cheeks like the roses red, And golden brown was the curly hair, That crowned the pretty head. And the birds sang sweet, that summer, High up in the forest, trees, But the ch il d ren's songs were j ust as sweet. As innocent, and\"free.-��� . When the summer time had ended, And the birds away had flown, I left them awhile, the South Wind said, In a fairer land to roam. ButI..came again in the spring time, When the roses were in bloom. And the birds were singing their sweetest songs, Around the cottage homo. I heard no children's voices, In their merry careless play-, But only a sound of weeping, I heard that sweet spring day. : I peeped in the open doorway. And there on the cradle bed, The sweet '.'Twin Roses.\" were-lying, All still, and-pale, and dead. 7 And the Mother's heart was breaking, Willi bitter yearning pain, As she kissed once more the pale cold, lips, That would never smile again. So they buried them there on the hillside, Where the flowers were in bloom, And planted the roses, that grew by the door. Above their quiet tomb. Then the South Wind with sad, low moap.in.tr, Stirred up the leaves as they lay At my feet, on that Summer evening, And quickly whirled them away.

What Sir Daniel Lysons believes to have been the first case of a settlement of an \"affair of honor\" on the Duke of Wellington's plan is described by him in his \"Early Reminicences. \" It occurred in Halifax about the middle of the present century: One day Captain Evans canie to me boiling over with wrath and indignation.

He consented. .-.- I cal led on Captain Harvey' s friend, Uaptain Bourke, and we agreed to abide by the Duke of Wellington's order about dueling, which had just then been promulgated at Halifax. We carried out our intention as follows: We made each of our principals write out his own version of what had occurred. We then chose ah umpire. We selected Colonel Horn of the Twentieth regiment, a clear headed and much respected officer. With his approval we sent him the two statements, and he directed ns to come to his house the f ol - lowing morning with our principals. At the appointed time we arrived and were shown into the dining room. We bowed formally to each other across the table and awaited- the appearance of our referee. Colonel Horn soon entered, and, addressing our principals, said: *'Gentlemen, in the first place, I must thank you for having made my duty 60 light. Nothing could be more open, generous or gentlemanlike than your statements. The best advice I can give you is that you shake hands and forget that the occurrence has ever happened. \" '.��� They at once walked up to each other and shook hands- cordially. They were the best of friends ever after. up in a free .-j vue meeting broke fight. So I came back, sir. The city editor came down from his desk and gazed pitifully upon the cub. \"They were to have debated on peace,\" he said sorrowfully \"and the meeting broke up in a fight, and there was nothing to write!

It is said, that those bright, golden bodied flies of the family Syrphidse are the I chief disseminators of its pollen. However this may bey one thing is perfectly plain, the marsh marigold is a striking and showy yellow flower, which cannot escape the notice of a multitude of spring insects. It is consequently visited by beesy flies, butterflies and beetles. Yellow is a most common color among flowers, and one which is peculiarly conspicuous and flashy in sunlight, when it is varnished with a gloss like that which we see on the buttercup and the marsh marigold. ���-Chautauquasu ��� Bxtrmtraffance. a case,'' she exclaimed indig- to \"Here's nantly, looking up from her paper, . i man who actually had the nerve put his wife on an allowance of 10 cents a day.\" \" What did she do with it all?\" he fefiked absentmindedly.

The control men get over their hands by constant practice was being discussed. One cited the case of an artist, who is afflicted with palsy so badly that he cannot convey his food or drink to his mouth unaided. And yet this man with pallet and brush in hand can paint as , well as ever he could. Before his brush \"touches the canvas his hand trembles violently^ but the. moment he feels the brush touch his picture his stroke becomes firm and strong and just what he desires it to be. Almost a parallel\" case is that of a veteran soldier well; -k^own in Kansas City, \"Peg Leg\" Smith. Smith is now in the Soldiers' home in Le^vehworth. When in Kansas City, he used to run a cigar wheel at the city hall square. Smith comes to Kansas City frequent- ly, and when here likes.to go to a shooting gallery on Walnut' street an4 shoot at the targets^ He is & good shot and enjoys looking along, a rifle barrel. Smith has the palsy in an alarming degree. When h�� raises the rifle and aims it at the target, it jerks around in such a lively manner that one would wager he could not hit the side of a house, but just as he is about to pull the trigger his hand steadies and the next instant the bell rings.

She went out at once to see him, and laughingly said if he did not mind being the only man present she would be delighted if he would come in the dining room and take the vacant place of one of her young friends who had not come. \"He was not afraid to face a lot of 'American beauties,' so he accepted gayly, and the vacant place happened to be next that of Miss Endicott, daughter of Secretary of War William C. Endicott of Massachusetts, a dovelike, slender girl, one of the greatest belles of the day. The outcome of this was the marriage of the English statesman and the 'Puritan maid,' as she was often called, his neighbor at an entertainment to which he had only been bidden by that 'fate which shapes our ��sds, rough hew them as we wilL ' \" ] mRY We have a full stock, of all lines of our goods m our Warehouse at Nelson, and will quote CLOSE PRICES TO DEALERS OM LY We have ou track to-day four cars Ashcroft potatoes, which are the best grown in B.G.
