NUMBER 36 ���jisnn ��fi CITV FATHERS SHOULD STAND UP When Speaking at Meetings of the Council. GRANT TO THE LIBRARY; The Rights of Occupancy Question ���Aid. Klrkpatrick's Notice of Motion. Last week a comparison was made between the proceedings of the Nelson Board bf Aldermen and 'the council meetings of the Iroquois. A correspondent points out that there is a vast difference between the two. He says that At the council meetipgsof the Indians the speaker always 6tood up when addressing the meeting, while the I Nelson city father dispenses with this outward mark of respect, notwithstanding the fact that the bylaw regulating the proceedings of the council, explicitly states thiit the speaker must stand, up when .addressing the board. Here is the manner in which the Iro- [quois addressed the meeting, according to a celebrated historian : When all was ready, Kiotsaton arose, strode into the open space,, and raising his tall figure erect, | stood looking for a moment at the 'Bun. Then he gazed around brithai ' assembly, took a wampum belt) ia his hand, and began : ' } ��� "Onontio, give ear. I am the mouth of all my nation. .When, you listen to me, you listen..'tc^aU the Iroquois. There is, no 'evil-in. my heart. My 6ong is a Bong vof peace. Wo have many war-songa in our ' country ; but , we have, thrown theni all away, and now we. sing of nothing but gladness and rejoicing." The Economist does, not' desire to convey tho impression that tho foregoing should prevail hib the set form of speech in addressing ..the council hoard ; it simply, wishes1, to go on record as being .convinced that it is somewhat of an, improve mont on the pronont method of proceed ure. However,, this ,'is only a suggestion, hut Aid. Irvinj,; might lay the matter before Fred Starkey this evening, whon he dropti in to read Thk Economist. Tho council meeting last Monday evening was not specially, in- interesting. A Id. Hamilton and Bird wore absent, and thore wore only a few spectators present. Mr. E. A. Crouso addressed \\ tho mooting on behalf of tho library (.requesting a grant of $500 to that institution. Tho grant was made, Although thoro aro many, whoi bo- liovo that tho oity has no legal right to givo aid to a voluntary in- Btitution. Tho oounoil" would bo porfeotly within its rights in establishing a pnblio library. ment appears to be somewhat irregular, as the plumbing by-law requires that one of the members of the board shall be a practical plumber, which, it is said, Mr. Hip- [ person is not. Tbe old question over the rights of occupancy between ii. Laird and a number of Chinamen again came up. Both parties to the dispute are willing to pay rent. The mayor was given power "to act in the matter. Mr. Laird and the Chinaman are both squatters on the city's land. .One has at much right as the other. Both are on the ground at the will of the council. The Chinaman was the first to offer to pay rent and has certainly done more to improve the land than Laird. City Solicitor Wilson stated that the law required a two-thirds majority of the residents of the lake foreshore to bring them within the corporation limits, but there being no residents there the matter would have to come before the city in the form of a by-law. Aid. Hamilton and Bird were appointed council representatives on the board of the Kootenay Lake General Hospital Society. The application of the Kootenay River Lumber Co. for exemption from taxation and free wate: and light, was filed. Aid. Kirkpatrick gave notice of his intention to introduce at the next meeting a motion to dispense with the services of one of the scav- i engpr?. Aid. Kirk patrick's motion is difficult to understand. At this time ;qf the'year it Eeems that to clean fup the streets, alleys and- backyards of the city it will be necessary to increase for a time the number of scavengers, instead of making a reduction. If the idea is to carry out the proposition of ex-Aid. Scanlan, and ask the sanitary inspector to drive one of the wagons, the proposal is impracticable. How could the sanitary ..inspector, keep a look-out over the whole of the city, make his collections, Berve notices, and attend to the general work bf the scavenging department, if he was engaged all duy as a t;amster? And'would the proprietors of dry goods' stores, hook-stores, etc., ap- prove of a .man reeking with tho elHuvia of stables and garbage com G0V.-GENEH4 ANJUM His Term of Office is for Six, Not Five, Years. LORNE LIKED CANADA And Would Have Remained for the Six Years, but for an Understanding with D'Israeli. Ask any half-dozen well-informed men whom you meet what is the term of office of the Gover,. nor-General of Canada and the chances are they will tell you five years. But they would all be wrong. A Governor - General's term of office is six years. An authority on constitutional subjects, to whom the question was referred by the Ottawa Citizen, said : ''How does it come to be generally accepted that the term is five years? I don't really know unless it is that period synchronizes with the duration of parliament in this country." Whether this be ihe true reason or not, it is a fact, at all events, that the majority of Governors-Generals of the Dominion have held office within the five- year term. Thus, Lord Lisgar, who took office in February, 1869, was" Buceeeded three and one-half years later by the. Earl of Dufferin: the Marauis of Lome was Governor-General for scarcely five years, the Marquis of Lanedowrie assumed office in October, 1883, and was succeded by Lord Stanley of Preston, the present Earl of Derby, in June, 1888, and the': latter was succeeded by the Earl of Aberdeen, who was sworn in as Governor- General in September, 1893. It was on November 12th, 1898, that tbe present representative of His Majesty in Cunada took' oflice. A five-year period would therefore terminate Lord Minto's tenure of office in November of the pres Dufferin would hava had a term of eight full years. Lord Lome recognized that his appointment was, constitutionally understood, an appointment of six years, and he would have endeavored to carry out his expressed desire to remain another year in Canada but for a punctiliousness worthy of the age of chivalry. He was appointed to the Governor- Generalship of Canada in 1878 by Lord Beaconsfield, a political opponent, who, when the scion of Argyle was taking leave of him, said, "Good-bye, Lome ; remember it'Svi a five years' appointment." Beaconsfield died before tbat term was up and Lord Lome, while he wished, as he said, to remain another year in Canada, .refused tc stay beyond the period named by the great Conservative Premier. He always felt that Beaconsfield had spoken but abstractedly in reference to the term of the appointment, but he held it neverthless as:.a point of honor not to ask to have it protracted beyond the Kime mentioned. ., NOMINATION Starkey Passes It Up to His Friends.

His supporters, however, have pre-' pared for some such action by having everything in readiness to launch a new party, to be known j "The Western Provincial Party." which will ally itself with none, and will take for its motto, "The West for the West."

White- winged peace no longer finds an abiding place in th9 wigwam of the Tammany chief. The cause of all the dissension is the reluctancy with which certain of the faithful respond, to the various calls which are being made on their resources. Indeed, it has come to such a pass that it is only the rich who can indulge in the luxury of a seat at the Tammany political feasts. A recent convert to the faith has no hesitation in saying and he says it boldly that the organization is altogether too rich,for, his blood, and that as soon as a favorable opportunity presents itself he wi.l do penance, for his sins by denying himself,. the s priyileges, whioh the "Progressive People's Party" guarantees' its members.'

With the approach ol .the summer season, old-time prosperity appears to be returning to the Kootenays.- All the idle -mines around Nelson, Rossland and Ymir and the Lardeau camps are about to resume work, and if the Dominion Government will readjust- the tariff on lead during'the session the silver lead mines of the Slocan will once more be the scene of activity and industry. At present about 860 men are employed in the mines of Rossland with a payroll of nearly $70,000 a month. The Silver King> [.Athabasca, Venus, Juno and Granite, all of which are in the vicinity of Nelson, are now working, Theaer mines were, all closed down 'last year. The' mines in the Lardeau are also making great preparations for the coming summer, and in the Fish Creek camp alone three now ~ . stanqp.mills are. being ereetedrr-cnei the celebrated^ Bw^iinii^HwfetcJF^- has been opened up by the-Itflp*-- rial Development Syndicate of Nelson and now under bond to ;the> Calumet and B.

The Slocan Star1 is making extensive improvements. The Payne has found its old-time paystreak, which means a return to the monthly dividends. In the Ymir camp the rich values uncovered in the 1000 ft. level will soon start the idle stamps in motion, and once again the Ymir stamp-mill will be dropping 80 stamps, which is the largest number installed by any mine in Canada. With the settlement of the coal miners'Btrike and a speedy re-adjuBtmont of tho load tariff, fully 1000 more men will be omployod in Slocan. and and Moyio camps, and when; to thiB is added tho unusual activity in tho lumbering industry in this section, tho outlook iB^oxopcdingly bright for tho Kootenays. i.

In the East, there is a growing feeliig t» break away from the international unioi.s and work under a purely national organization. The "lawyer's union" should consider the case of the editor of the Nelson Tribune. This gentleman is a bit of a lawyer himself, although not a member of the order. He recently rendered a bill of costs to the city of Nelson for $300 for professional services in a real estate deal in which the city was interested. The bill was not itemized, and on being asked for an itemized bill in order that it might be taxed, this ouasi attorney indignantly refused to fun?ish one. His bill was accordingly, paid without any deductions being made. He now comes out with a denunciation of certain lawyers of the regular school, who rendered an itemized bill for their services, submitted it to taxation, and had their bill reduced. If any question of honest dealing arises in either of these cases, which of the two is the better ? One cannot help wondering how that $300 bill would have looked if it had been itemized and taxed. The "Gamey charges" against Hon. J. R. Stratton in particular, and the Ross Government in general, will constitute the darkest page in Canadian history. If the charges be true, and they appear to be corroborated in every essential detail, the days of the Ross Government are numbored. J. R. Stratton has been 17 years in the Legislature as member for West Peterboro. He was taken into the Government as Provincial Secretary in 1S99, and has won great applause in his success in managing by-electious. The other leading. performer in this drama is "Gap. Sullivan." He has been an "oiler up" of the machine for , a number of yearp, and ..was one of the chief operators in the West Elgin election frauds. Death lurks in the Liberal political pot. One section of the coast Liberals have pro-. nounced in favor of Joseph Martin as their leader, while another section are putting forth the claims of Ralph Smith for the exulted position. This is the bone which the Liberals are gnawing at just now, and the outcome may be the death blow to party lines in the Province. The opinion is rapidly gaining ground that neither party is in a position 10 fight just now, the Conservatives being as badly divided as the Liberals. The real truth is that the eloctors of British Columbia are too advanced in their ideas to accept without protest dictators who are party men for revenue purposes only.

With Senator Tcmploman and Sir Wilfrid Laurier both hacking Ralph Smith for the leadership, Joseph Martin may ho said to ho up against tho real thing now.

During the se;:oy war a voting captain of artillery saw an ignited shell fall near his battery. Instantly ho lifted it up, carried it to a distance and flung it away, .last then it burst, shattering his left forearm. In tho Crimean war Captain Peel of the royal navy, son of tho former prime minister, Sir Robert Peel, commanded a naval battery in front of Sevastopol. Ono day a lai-go shell, its fuse burning, fell into tho battery near whero Peel was standing. Picking it up, ho carried it to tho rampart and tossed it over. It exploded before iii reached tho ground.—Exchange. KHlcacy or Olive Oil. Medical authorities are generally agreed as to tho value of olive oil medicinally, finding it also a potent agent for any defects of tho excretory ducts, especially tho skin. Eczema has rapidly disappeared upon a discontinuance of starch foods and tho substitution of a diet of fresh and dried fritits, milk, r.ggs and olive oil. The beneficial effecta of the latter, when thus taken in conjunction with a fruit diet, have frequently been remarked in respect to the hair, nails and scalp, supplying to the sebaceous glands tho oily substance wrhiT;h they sccreto when in a healthy condition, and tho absenco of which is tho cause of debility of tho hair, frequently ending in baldness, says The Scientific American. It has long been observed that t.hoso who treat Olive, oil as a common article of food and tiso it as such aro generally healthier and iu better condition than those who do not, and its thevapoutic and °prophylactio proper! ies aro very favorably regarded by medical men.

The Original Siamese Twins. The sleepy village of Biddenden, not far from Tcnterden, celebrates yearly the memory of the two maids of that ancient hamlet who were tho original precursors of tho Siamese twins.

Formerly the doles consisted of bread and cheesei and ale, but thd latter produced so much hilarity iu the village that it "was abolished, and tho.charity is now limited to tho twro first mentioned nutritivo articles. The bread is made up in tho form of cakes, bearing a rude representation of tho twin maids of Biddenden, and-are generally preserved as curiosities by tho recipients.- They are baked very hard aud aro admirably adapted to give work to dentists by breaking, the molars of those who attempt to penetrate their mystej'ios.- The poor of the parish as" distinguished from neccssitou&is'trangcrs aro supplied with ordinary quartern loaves aud cheese.— LSij^Cju Telegrauh. - A.':- '' Sul.-Ktituto Far nn "Kyo."
