NELSON, B. C, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1903. NUMBER ��0 M LIFE /IS il Mil', tr^Sl fi Lay :$ Ml Joseph Howe, the Greatest Canadian Orator. A FAMOUS LTBEL SUIT Howe's Wonderful Oration at the International Commercial Convention. \"I shall depend upon tbe sober second thought of my countrymen to come right, at last, and do me justice, and I hope that justico will be done me by-and-by,\" said Joseph Howe. After tbe neglect of thirty years, tbe province which he loved BO well will erect an enduring monument to his memorj'. Nova Scotia, boastful that she has been the birthplace of more great men than any other province, h approved singularly callous to her famous son. c Worshiping him at first, some men turned their backs on him, and heard his name with hisses. The act which would be considered by Canadians to-day the wisest in the career of Howe ras the sin which bis enemies could not forgive. Howe opposed Confederation, therefore Canadians are unmindful of his claims upon theirre- spect and honor ; Howe accepted Confederation, so a faction in Nova Scolia hated him. Joseph Howe was undoubtedly ono of tho finest characters this country has produced. As an orator the only man who can be compared with him is IVArcy McC.ee, and the Irishman was not a Canadian in the sense that Howe was. Mr. Joseph Tope says'M him in his \"Lifo of Sir John Macdonald,\" he was incomparably tho greatest orator that British North America has produced., Tho mo3t oloqno-U appeal evor mudo by a Canadian was that cf Joseph Howe in Detroit at tho International Commercial Convention. On that occasion Howe's oratory was such that tho United Btntes delegates would havo decided in favor of tho continuance of the Reciprocity Tri-nty had tho vote beon taken on that day. And yet in this magnificent orat'nn Howe repudiated annexation, Hung it back in the faces of the Americans who yet luing spellbound on his >vords. DiiHpllo tho fuel that ho was an Imperialist or the Imperialists, Howo wuh probably mom popular in Now England than iu any part of Canada outside hiu native province, No man of iho day was in greater demand at largo gatherings in tho Eastern States, lio did not think of tho most pleasant things ho could nay to Aniorioans, juul l>in Uoaton spiechos might havo hoon dolivuod in Halifax.

On'iy oniiof thi.n), Joseph's father, o��n��no Iho King's new home in Nova Scolia. courtly, educated gentleman, his ! worth was appreciated, and he was everywhere respected. Never an active politician, he \"yet was honored by those who were, and was made King's Printer and Po tmas- ter-General of Nova Scotia. His son Joseph was born in 1S03, and received little regular education. At the age of 13, he went into the oflice of the Halifax Gazette as printer's ''devil.\" For eleven years he set type, wrote poems and sketches, and mastered the somewhat varied accomplishments of a journalist of the time. In 1S27 he entered into partnership in another newspaper, but sold out his share within the year, and secured the Nova Scotian for $5/2.50. He reported the debates in the Local Assembly himself, traveled about forming agencies, and indulging his love for verse. The famous \"Sam Slick\" is said to have been one of his contributors at the time. Until 1835 Howe never spoke in public. A libel suit was brought against him in that year, and arrayed for th��e prosecution was able legal talent. Howe defended himself, and it took the jury ten minutes to acquit him. At this time there was not an incorporated city in Canada.. Towns were governed by magistrates appointed' by tbe Crown, and in no way, responsible to the people. Howe's attack on the system landed him in prison, and brought against him the charge of libel. His speech destroyed the icign of the magistrates, inaugurated responsible government in the Lower Provinces, and established the freedom of the press. The year 1S35 also saw Howe's entry to public life. His official record may be briefly summarized. Until 1863 he was a member of the Nova Scotia Assembly almost continuously. Twice he was Premier. In 18G3 he was appointed Fisheries Commissioner ; in 18G7he was elected to iho House of Commons. For eleven months he was President of the Privy Council, resigning to accept at the hands of Sir John Macdonald tbo Secretaryship of State. In 1872 ho was m do Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scutia, an oflice he held but a few months, whon hia death occurred. From the fact that Confederation was tho most important event in Canada's history, thero is a tendency to judge public mon who touched tho great question by their attitude toward it. In tho beginning Howo opposed it. Tho Nova Sootia House, whilo ho was in Opposition, pledged tho provinco to the noble vision, without appealing: to tho country. In the olcolion of I8(i7, bused on tbo Confederation issue, tho Provinco ot Nova Scotia returned only two members out of !18 in favor of it. Secession was tho cry and IIowo wub its mouthpioce, The strife was bitter, Tho extremists called for armed rebellion, and woro rebuked hy Howe in a nolablo passage ; \"I liopo lo live and dio( for Nova Sootia, and must ho euro ful for hor reputation and my own. In all tho struggles of tho past for the olovation and advancement of our country, it has Leon my boast that no lifo was lost nor a pano of Mclnnes and Qilmour on a Pilgrimage to the Dominion Capital. COAST CONSERVATIVES ARE HOPEFUL Liberals Getting Their Candidates in the Field���Conservatives Desirous of Inducing the Best Hen in Their Ranks to Run���Vancouver Labor Men Will Not Fuss With the Liberals. The political situation, while it cannot be said to be active, possesses one or two noteworthy features. It develops that the coast Liberals do not know exactly where they are at, and in order to definitely locate themselves have sent two envoys to Ottawa. Just what may be the exact nature of this mission is not yet manifest. The two gentlemen leferred to are Hon. W. W. B. Mclnnes and Hugh Gilmour. Some believe that Mr. Mclnnes has gone'to the capital to make his peace with Laurier, and incidentally arrange for the sinews of war, while' others suppose he may be acting in conjunction with Mr. Gilmour in an endeavor to reinstate .Joseph Martin in the good graces of the Liberal leaders. ��� It is well known that the Liberal leaders at Ottawa are not friendly towards Mr. Maitin, and it ia suspected they would rather see a Conservative government in power in British Columbia than a Liberal administration dominated by the man to whom more than' any one else they are indebted for po.wer. Mr. Martin has not felt that ho has been treated altogether fairly by Sir Wilfrid, and it is believed, if he hod the power to do bo, he would promulgate legislation that would sooner or later disintegrate the Liberal party. Therefore, the question now is, has Mr. Martin sent MossrB. Mclnnes and Gilmour to Ottawa to malco peace with tho Luurior govommont and give bonds for futuro good behavior, or has Mr. Mclnnes gono down to tho capital in his own bohalf ? In tlio moantimo, tbo Liberals aro moving with groat caution, and although organising horo and thoro, aro not as active as it might bo oxpeotod thoy would bo.

Fort Steele Conservatives seem anxious to have J. A. Harvey lead the party, although it has been stated that Mr. Harvey positively declines to accept the honor. 11. L. T. Gal- braith haB been mentioned, and there is a strong rumor afloat that friends of Government Agent Armstrong are active in that gentleman's, behalf. James Ryan is still a favorite with many in Cranbrook, but he has publicly deolared that he wanted none of it. Cranbrook Liberals aro discussing tho political situation, and have decided to call a convention tho first part of July to place a candidate in the Held. It is likely that John L.

King is tho Liberal favorite in Cranbrook district, whilo some aro inclirod to boliovo that W. F.

In Nelson there have been nearly 400 names placed upon the list, about half of what it is expected the entire vote will be. Rossland Conservatives are anxious to have Mr. Goodeve run for for that city. Mr. Goodeve is one of the ablest speakers in the Kootenays, and would add greatly to the debating strength of the Conservative party in the Local House. The desperate straits to which the Liberala have been reduced in order to make some kind of a show at the elections may be seen by the overtures made by them to the Trades and Labor Council in Vancouver, to form a Labor-Liberal Alliance, and to nominate candidates in accordance. Remembering the opposition successfully waged against them by the Liberals in the Dominion byo-olcction hold in Bur- rard some months ago, the Labor men have emphatically declined such an alliance And rightly, too.

Do not ncglnot to regintor your voto. VoIch will bo in great demand on election day. Frank Marquis and Geo. Gilbert arrived in Kaslo en Tuesday morning from the Lardo with the evidence of a gold find which casts everything heretofore discovered in this district completely in the shade, says the Kootenaian. They brought with them pieces of quartz that are more than one-half gold. These specimens will run in values to the ton up to figures almost incredible, $100,000 to the ton being mentioned as a low estimate for some of the samplee shown. In a tin can brought down there was in the neighborhood of $100 worth of gold. Mr. Marquis, who is a reliable and experienced prospector, states that they have over $100,000 worth of ore in sight, putting it at one-half of what he is confident would be realized with but a little work. He says that he has at a very low estimate over a ton of ore to be sacked that will give returns of at least the above stated amount. One has only to see the orebrought down to believe the statements made. The property which is called the Gold Park and Ophir group of two claims, is located on Poplar creek, a tributary of the Lardo river, nnd is about one mile from the Arrowhead & Kootenay railway, about twenty miles from Lardo. The find was made while doing assessment work. A number of open cuts have been made, in all of which good ore has been uncovered, giving fair values, but nothing like this find was mot with. Tho ore is white quartz and carbonates, carrying largo quanties of free gold and chloride of gold. Tho vein from whioh this ore was taken is about seven inches wide, widening out in places to ten inches, the wholo ganguo boing impregnated with filigreo gold. Tho vein has boon uncovered in places for several hundred foot. Tho owners camo to Kaslo to procure supplies, mortars and Backs to sack tho oro. Parties are boing formed to proceed to tho scene of tho find, and fortunato gontlomen aro in no way backward in giving assistance to any others who may wish to participate in thoir good luck by making additional locations. Tlio country is heavily timbored and tho immediate vicinity is rough and precipitins. Thoro ip no doubt that this is tho samo sourco from which tho largo quantities of placer gold found in tho Lardo river has originated. Numerous rich finds havo boon made on the I. -I'!,�� and its tributaries of gold quartz carrying good values, but nothing approaching this has over beon mot with. The Htriko is about forty miles from Kaslo and is not far from Tenderfoot and Meadow creeks, whoro good properties aro now worked. On Tenderfoot Creole Mr. Jan. Itulhorford is developing tbo property of tho Lardeau Valley Mines, hoinn in tho nanio mineral bolt and having oro exactly iiimilar in character. An average sample of the carbonate?, which is filling j the vein brought down from this strike was submitted to Mr. Ed. Bedolpb, assayer at Kaslo, by Mr. Jas. Rutherford and gave the enormous value of 595 ounces in gold, which is eleven thousand.nine hundred dollars a ton. They are also in the same mineral belt as the Ophir-Lade and the properties of the Northwestern Development Syndicate, all of which have the same character of ore. The Poplar creek gold strike continues to absorb the attention of everyone. Business men, office men and miners all being equally interested. Groups of men are &een on the streets of Kaslo excitedly examining specimens of the rock brought down Tuesday by Messrs. Marquis and Gilbert. All kinds of water conveyances are being utilized to convey the eager gold hunters to the scene of the find. Many who had apparently little interest in the strike slipped away for the creek. Parties headed by Al. Palmer, Jack Reuter, Jim Spiers, Billy Moulseand Pete Kelly have all left. Pete Kelly secured the tug Hercules arid persuaded George Gilbert to accompany him, which gives Kelly a great rdvantage. At Lardo it is reported that anything that would roll on the trails was commandeered and taken on as far as theconditiou of the railway bed would permit. Dan McPhail and J. Gillis have left for Bear��� Lake and it is stated that they crossed over the divide to the head of Poplar creek and are now first on the ground. ��� T. G. Procter has just 'returned\" foom Blairmore and several points in East Koofenaj', where he. has been for the last month looking after his coal interests. Mr. Procter and his associates are actively engaged in developing their property. They are building a spur from the railroad into the mine, a distance of a quarter of a mile. At present they are hauling the coal by wagon, and shipping from 60 to 70 tons per day. This output will be increased to 200 tons per day and within six months to 500 tons. The quality of the coal is superior to any yot discovered in the coal districts. Mr. Procter says tho crops around McLeod and Calgary aro in splendid condition, and the outlook for another prosperous year could not bo moro encouraging. J. E. Amiable, manager of tho Nelson Opera House, has been called east on account of thoeoriouB illness of his mother, who is now 78yoarBof ago.

Next Wednesday the Dominion of Canada will reach the SGth mlestone along the road of her national existence. The progress made in thoso 36 years has ceitainly justified the hopes of the Fathers of Confederation. Of the men who took the leading part in the greatest t-vent in Canada's history there are'less than half-a-dozen left, but Canadians have built for ihem all in their hearts monuments more enduring and grander than shafts of marble. The Empire bad no more patriotic sons than the men who gathered the few straggling provinces together and shaped them in one grand cohesive part of the greatest Emigre tbe sun ever shone upon. Therefore, Canadians are not called upon lo apologize for their almost divine reverence for the fathers of the'r country, as they join in love together to the inspiriting strains of \"The Mupie Leaf Forever.\" No one can contemplate without interest the awakening of Great Britain to a realization of herself as the head of a world-embracing Empire It is as though the brain were slow to recognize that those vast limits which lie outstretched around the globe, pul- utting with growing powor, are indeed a part ol' ono and the same gigantic prgauii-m. The gradual perception of the new conditions is necessarily accompanied by a reconsideration of m.iiiy jiinduuiuntiil principles of constitution and government, and. the effort.to maintain ed-. lublitdiod and accepted theories under circutn- stniionri never known before. Take Great iJiiiniii'd free trade policy, a policy which in the mind of tlie unlravelled ICnglishman hits nlr:i<>f.i acquired tho sanctity of ono of tho Ion oumnwuidments. Tlie principle underlying this |Nlicy is sound, and free mule can bu dciiiiiiihtrated to bo tl.o ideal condition of lliingv, as easily aa the poet's dtuam of universal peace. Is it to bo wondered at that thu lCnglifhinun of limited ob.-erviilion, who bus ���breathed fieo trado nil bis life, nnd whoso pro- juiiiics and reason nro united in support of tint doctrine, should listen with littlo sympathy when invited to consider whether Iho now cuiidiiions do not justify a policy of Imperial protection ? To him th s seems like it retmgruflsion towards b.irbarism. It will need ti i , and a wider understand.ng of tho world's development, before ho cm learn lhat closer commercial unity within tho whulo Empire .,- but n step, taken at a temporary cost, Imvnrils tho desired climax uf world wiibi free trade. Kctforring again to tho parallel of universal peace, it has beon frequently urgd that nothing would moro surely tend to lhat end, limn lhat tho world should bo dominated by nn all powerful Anglo-Saxon union, bunt upon maintaining peace at all cost. Ho, a hnniioniuuH combine of tho different units constituting Iho Hrilihh Empire, reciprocating between tbem- h-Ivih for tbo conservation of the I.nipire'ii triidi*, and offeiing to uuttdiln nntiouH an open door on reciprocal terms, holds the iho.-hI certain promise of cv-MiUinlly bringing n!l iho trading nations of lliu world into one fPind free trado pnrtiiortdiip. It was confident y j.rojjhtmod in lonuor dny a that tho adoption by Eri&hiiiti ml a fra> trado policy would bo shortly followed by the abandonment of protection principles in other countries, that the force cf good example would bring about this result. No one need be told to-day how little this prophe?y has been fulfilled. The leaven of the p.pw thought is-at present working mightily in England, and whether Mr. Chamberlain will see the consummation of hi3 hopes or not, he is certainly rousing the people to the point of viewing the new and wide prospect lhat lies before them. The future no man Ciin foresee, but those who believe that the growth and solidarity of the Anglo-Saxon race tends to benefit the world at large, will view the movement for commercial cohesion within the Empire with satisfaction. A man calling himself Fred. Starkey, and said to hail from one of the prairie villages in Manitoba, has wiihout authority from the Nelson Conservative Association signed his name to a communication which presumptuously assumes to speak on behalf of that organization. This fellow Starkey, who less than a year ago claimed that he was a greater political factor than hia master, would be conferring a special benefit on this community by giving hia overworked j iw a well-earned vacation. When the Conservatives of Nelson need advice, they are not likely lo turn to flatulent political weathercocks in their extremity. The Liberal papers throughout the province find in the editorial columns of the Tribune a never failing source of supply ol campaign literature. The harrowing spectacle of a paper published by a man who holds the oflice of president of tbe Provincial Conservative Association openly expressing disapproval, of the methods of the party's leaders could only be witnessed in British Cjlumbia. The wisdom of the selection of Mr. R. S. Lennie as their standard-bearer by the Conservatives of Nelson is daily becoming more apparent. Mr. Lennie is making a vigorous campaign and meeting with greater success than he anticipated. Thia is the day of young men, and Conservatives in other portions of the province would be only acceding to the demands of the times by placing young men in the field. The old men will have to go 'way back and sit down. There if a great deal of interest being taken in the voters' lists, our Liberal friends being particularly active. Nei ertheless, when the time comes to close tbe lists it will probably be found that tbo Conservative vote greally predominates. Now is tho time for all truo Conservatives to register. Tho Liberal candidate, Mr. S. S. Taylor, K. C, is making a personal canvass, and is looking particularly happy under tho circumstances. Just the sumo, this is tbo kind ot work that counts on election day. Il is tho duty of every Consorvativo to standby Premier McBrido and his government.

To-day in the Kootenays and Boundary districts there is no mistaking the strength of public opinion in favor of raising the tariff so as to afford adequate protection to the mining industry.

The immense railway development that is about to take place in Canada affords the opportunity of the establishment of the iron and steel industries at the Pacific coast. With its extensive iron deposit, and abundance of fuel the iron and steel manufacture should shortly become one of the most important industries of British Columbia. Trail Creek News. That petrel of politics, Mr. Joseph Martin, has uttered the solemn plati'.ude, \"Principles, not men.\" This must mean that as long as the party platform is all right the characters of the candidates are of little or no importance. If it does mean that, it is a reasonless and pernicious thing to say. There is no political principle or set of principles of which the profession of and possession by men in power can give us good government. That can be assured only by personal character. Morrissey Despatch. �� The party paper which treats of lh�� issue3 with candor, admitting mistakes of tbe party it supports, and gividg due credit to that which is deserving of merit on the part of the opposition, such a paper will accomplish more for its own party and fill its obligations to the public infinitely better than a rabid, through- thick-and thin paper. The senseless policy of supporting a certain party through habit, or through hereditary inclinations, is about on a par with, and is often the cause of, such a policy as above outlined. Victoria Colonist. It is quite possible for a political party to promulgate doctrines incompatible wjth conscience and judgment of some of ils.adherents. It then becomes their painful duty to leave their party. But it is very seldom anything of the kind happens, in any party, the association of whose members flows from well-defined principles. The Liberal-Conservative party of Canada is io well founded upon sound and consistent political doctrine not to appeal with strength to the loyalty of its adherents. And it is too democratic in its constitution not to we'.como and reward the ability and efforts of everyone who gives il loyal support. A party is no more than a method of moulding the policy of the country to the enlightened will of iho people, in whoco hands under democratic government the destiny of tho country is laid.

It ia tho unawed tranquillity, tho absolute inability to fear, \"that somo men, not many, posses,: ot rather, ono should snj, by which some men are possessed. An instance of such courage on a low piano is that of Po- temkin kicking aside tho bloody head of his predecessor as he stepped to tho block, au act almost indelicate enough to bo humorous, yet withal significant of an irou nerve. Somewhere in the late seventies another Russian, but this time a savant, gavo a proof of what length a rapt intensity of purpose will carry a man to. In order to make good his theory that a suicide may bo deliberate and uurepeut- iug ho subjected himsolf to hideous tor- \" ture, ending iu death, but under such circumstances thnt ho might havo relinquished his design at any stago of its progress. Ho lay ou his back-upon ^a bedstead from which ho had stripped all tho clothing, with a lamp placed nn derneath him so that tho flame just touched his spine, rising at intervals to make notes, which wero afterward published.

ANOTHER DOG STORY. Sbls Is About Intelligent Don. Who Zjovea to Work as \\Vtll as Play. Probably one of tho busiest dogs in Massachusetts is Don, for besides the usual occupations that till tho lifo of every right minded dog ho faithfully supei-intcuda tho whole of his master's beautiful farm. Wherever business calls Mr. Brown, in pasture, sugar grove, cornfield or barn, Chore you will llml Don, dashing after a refractory cow, running up u ladder to ioiuo high loft for hay or standing guard over properly left in his charge, and every, where taking his full thiire of tho work, his master mcnmvhila talking,' with him wow and then or giving hiiu instructions lu the same pleasant tono in which he epeuks to his other friends. All this time Don never seems to have a, thought of anything but his work, but when there comes a leisure hour on rainy day, or sifter tho chores aro done, likes notlilng better than to entertain roomful of people with his clever trick Ho litis never known anything but kin uud encouraging words, and is nlwu. ready to do his best, partly no doubt b causo ho finds It bring* �� reward. At his master's quiet bidding ho opens or closes doors, runs on errands, stands, walks or rolls over the floor. Then he bows his head on his paws upon a chair aud says his prayprs until released by tho expected \"Amen.\" He makes an amusing picture.aa ho waits for permission to eat a bit of cracker resting upon his paw. \"You mustn',t touch it, Don,\" says Mr. Browu waruingly. \"That cost lots- of money. Just eco what a lino big piece it te!\" Don looks much impressed by the costliness of tho littlo feast before him. ''Of- course,\" he seems to say, \"a mero hardworking dog liko mo cannot oxpect to indulge in such luxuries.\" Ho gazes thoughtfully at the cracker and romalns motionless, with his noso three inches from tho tempting morsel. ''Yes,\" continues his master, \"that is an uncommonly nice piece of cracker, and it's paid for, Don.\" Instantly tho tidbit disappears down a ravenous throat, and, with a leap to tho ground, Don is ready for moro fun.���-Our Animal Friends.

Miss Mat lies is a Nelson favorite, ami her visits are always looked forward to with pleasure. Since j L-aving here last summer she has made | a tour of California, and her performances have met with great favor. In her company this time are many old favorites, and there are also several new members. Tho opening piece will he \"A Fatal Krror,\" and during the week several plays not before seen in Nelson will be given. 'J 'he anonymous letter-wri iter is again working over-time. This time he is writing'to political candidates telling them what they should do. The Mithor is well-known, nnd will prot- ably be arrested within a few days- An expert on handwriting is prepared to testify that the author oi the recent letter and several written to a woman last winter is the same person. The luisjteant is a middle-aged man, and while sane about niany other0 things, has u mania lor wrilling anonymous letters. He would have been arrested last winter, had it not been that it v. owld have brought disgrace on a re- .-pcclable family. However, it is not huuly that the old rascal will escape this time, and it is hoped that his term of imprisonment will be made ��� long enough to five assurance that defence- Jess women will not be worried for the next three or four years by this liend in iniiuan form. Lowery?s Claim, which has been rather\"errulic in its movements recently, will be printed in Nelson in future, arrangements having been made to havo: it published from the Tribune ollice.
