REMARKABLE SCENES AT VICTORIA. ^e^tnernory of man runneth, not back Jo the contrary ,than when ^such remarkable scenes were enacted at the v legislative hall, as are now being dnil) reported. A new phase of the tangled political situation is'presented almost every da), affording an almost unlimited opportunity for speculation irt the meantime. What the morrow will bring even the most experienced cannot loretell witn any degree of certainty. '1 he dice box is shaken, and lo, new leatures are presented, totally unexpected. It is like a plav, w itnessed for the first time. With a program one can ' get a faint, idea ot what to expect. But at Victoria, the program has been lost or^mislaid lrirthe shuffle. When the Turner government was dismissed, the then Vouts\" thought it all light, when they became \"ins.\" Now that the lieutenant-governor, exercises the same prerogative and turns the *'iV iplo \"out,,\" fee is censured and criticised mercilessly. 'I he \"outs\" also icspl��te\\aliantly, but all to no purpose. Joe flrfartin was called to form a ministry, much to the stiprise ot all, himself in< hided, and he finds it an uphill job, and no wonder. The endot it all no man can foresee, except that whoever does succeed in iorming it cabinet will have the biggest firlir on his being endo-vd, lor tht until recently 'in force on the Boundary railway, was that \"Up to the present time the extension has been operated and controlled by the construction contractors, who also fixed the freight rates, and the C. P. R. was not to blame for, the high rate that previously existed,\" .With,more to,...the same effect. This was the excuse allowed to become current by the C. P. R. for charging the exorbitant (so-<#lIed \"con? fraction\" plasterer atfdTreTght rates since last August''fo'March\" \"ist, over the new railway, and the Miner takes it as gospel truth. As tne contractors, Mann, Foley Bros. & Larson, went into this little $4,000,000 contract to make money���and undoubtedly succeeded���they canjifibrd to let any old kind of a story gain currency. However, the facts are worth knowing, and as a member of the contracting firm repeatedly told the editor of the Pioneer, they are simply that Mann, Foley Bros. & Larson did not get a cent rake-off from the outrageously high \"construction\" charges. Ill the Miner man will interview' J. W. | Stewart, now in Nelson, he can give him some of these cold facts. The C. P. R. had a chance to hold up the Boundary business men and did so for several months. The Pioneer, unlike the Rossland Miner and Grand Forks Miner, does n,ot believe the C. P. R. is responsible for all the sins in the catagory, nor all those attributed to it. But, nevertheless, this was one of them, and the railway comjiany itself alone is responsible. It is such acts' as this that make communities and individuals shout with one voice for competition, and it is surprising that Mr. Sh'augh- nessy and his shrewd lieutenants would permit it. However, it >In the assault on Gen. Cronje's troops in South Africa, the Canadian troops conducted themselves with such .valor as to win ��� special praise from Lord Roberts. Of course, here in the west, we knew this would be the case if the Canadians ever got a good opportunity. The fever is spreading. A new town near Deadwood has been laid out and called Ladysmith. There is plenty of room yet in the Boundary to plat townsites, and there are a few towns left in South Africa after which they might be named. After all, the Bard of Avon inquired what there was in a name. Merit is what tells. THROUGH THE WEEK. Travellers generally assert that throughout British Columbia, from the eastern line to^Vancouyer, .Inls'wiQter has been- an uirtsually dull one iii business circlesv 'l'he quietude was'universal, and not confined to any one locality. < No town or city had a mon- apoly of it. ���o One of the first mistaken ideas of the ordinary merchant, when times grow quiet, is to cut off his advertising in his local paper. As a matter of fact, there .never was a greater error in business judgment committed. The words of Editor Turner, of the Cascade Record are worthy of special note in this connection. Herejs what he says: \"While you are hanging on by sheer doggedne-ss and waiting lor your town and business to improve, it is the gravest mistake to withdraw your support from the local newspaper, in order- to economize. That_paper is the window throught which the passing throng sizes up conditions. If the panes be small and dirty, and an old hat has .taken the place of gtasvjn.'the sash here and there, no onewillbe tempted to look in.

He has already strtfek terror to the hearts of thousands of Boers, and won many battles. Of course that's what he went there for. The Nelson Economist has but a poor opinion of the Rossland Dandy Coons, their ancient jokes, etc. In the same issue it tells about the Pinafore jierformance being gotten up by local talent.
