The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune."@en, ""@en ; edm:aggregatedCHO "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xtribune/items/1.0188866/source.json"@en ; dc:format "application/pdf"@en ; skos:note """ ff-f ���*f .iP'>sr'p;i??j.*V .,.

When a prominent Conservative came foi,* ward the other day and offered to bet a large sum of money on majorities in Winnipeg it looked as if the betting on the contest would be about as lively as it was when Joseph Martin and-Hugh* John Macdonald contested the seat in 1890 for the Dominion house. On that occasion it is estimated $75,000 changed hands in the city of Winnipeg alone, but it is now almost certain that the betting on the present campaign will be very light unless the Conservatives are given very heavy odds. The promptness with which tiie speculative Conservative's offer was taken up took the heart out of him, and now several Liberal offers of different kinds are.staring the other side in the face. It is said tliat a syndicate of grain men have announced their willingness to stake $10,000 against $7:500 that tlie goveriiiuent will be returned, but there are no takers. While all the betting talk is being done in Winnipeg, the talk which is calculated to win the election is being done in the country constituencies. G. E. Foster arrived and opened his progaammeat Winnipeg on the 28th of last month, after which he was to storm the principal agricultural districts up to the day of the election. Sir Charles Tupper, also spoke atEmerson on the28th, and intended to deliver himself all the way down the line to Winnipeg. One peculiar feature of the campaign is the inactivity of-Hugh John Macdonald, the opposition leader. He is seldom heard from, and when he does put in an appearance he proves a sad disappointment. He seems to have lost his grip or to-be kept in the background for some reason or other. The members and followers of.the. government,are taking care of.their own campaign and are being en- , thusiasticallyy received every where they appear. The nominations take place next Thursday, when.-.'it is expected the opposition will allow, at least half a dozen, seats to go,by acclamation. Polling takes place oue week.latei*.

Montr--Ai., December 1,���LaPatre, Mr. Tarte's orgau, says : "A Conservative of good authority asserts that if sir Charles Tupper does uot succeed in defeating the Greenway government in Manitoba, he will resign,the leadership of the Dominion opposition.

The proposition was made in response to a request from the harbor commission that those desirous of building elevators, etc., on the new wharves should lay their plans "before the board. Five applications were received, that jof the Connor syndicate beiug the most important. They asked for twelve hundred feet of land at Windmill Point, with the privilege of using the canal without interfering with othei s. They would spend about .$1,000,000 and wanted a lease for at least forty years, and would start work at Windmill Point at once, to be ready for freight next spring. The syndicate would build fifteen tows and steam barges. The, syndicate agrees to bring 25,000,000. bushels of grain to Montreal next season, increasing it in 1901 to #5,000,000 or more. Tlie board accepted the proposition, and fixed next Monday morning for a meeting with the representatives of the syndicate to agree on. necessary details and locations of elevators.

Emperor William's visit to Holland must mean that he has not token such an irrevocable step."

W. Steevens' fourth war letter in the London Daily Mail is dated Aliwal North, October 15th,'and reads thus: ■'Halt! Who goes there?" The trim figure, black in the moonlight.in breeches and putties, with a broad-brimmed hat looped up at the side, brought up his carbine and barred the entrance to the bridge. Twenty yards beyond a second trim black figure with a carbine stamped to and fro over the planking. They were of the Cape Police, and there were four more of them somewhere in reserve; across the bridge was the Orange Free .State: behind us was the little frontier town of Aliwal North, and these were its sole garrison. The river shone silvery under its high banks. Beyond it, in tlie enemy's country, the veldt, too, wtis silvered over with moonlight aud blotted itikily with shadows from the kopjes. Three miles to the right over a rise and down a dip they stiid there lay the Rouxvillc commando of 8:*50 men. That night they were to receive 700 or S00 more from Smithfield, and thereon would ride through Aliwal on the way to eat up the British half- battalion at Stormberg. On our side of the bridge slouched a score of Boers— waiting, they said, to join and conduct their kinsmen. In the very middle of these—an island of garish naphtha light in the silver, a jar of wheeze and squeak in the swishing of trees and river— twirled a battered merry-go- round. Up the hill, through the town, in the bar of the ultra-English hotel proceeded this dialogue: A fat man (thunderously, nursing a Lee-Metford sporting rifle)—Well, you've yourselves to blame. I've done my best. With fifty men I'd have held this place against a thousand Boers, and not ten men'd join. A thin-faced man (piping)—We haven't got the rifles.. Every Dutchman's armed, and how many rifles will you find among the English ? Eat man (shooting home bolt of Lee-Metford) — And who's fault's that? I've left my property in the Free State, and odds are I shall lose every penny I've got—What part,1? All over—and come here onto British soil, and what do I find?

All except brown-faced man (loudly)— No! Brown-faced man (quietly)—Yes. Gentlemen, bedtime! As Brand used to say: "Alz ;.l rijht koinen ! " (All go to bed.

Had five years' experience with Chinese in British Columbia coal mines. White men had employed Chinese helpers, and he had never heard any complaint against Chinese. They a I! understood directions and \\vvie safe. ITe always had confidence in Chinese. It was not necessary for miners to be able to read so long iis they understood directions. Joseph Iteiiiikli, the next witness, had been coal mining six years, and had four years' experience with Chinese at Wellington and Kxtension. They were safe. Did not think it cut any figure whether Chinese read the rules or not. lie thought Chinese miners as safe as- the rest of them. He was fire boss at Kxtension. It was not necessary for persons underground to be able to road if they understood the rules. "William Jackson and William lloggan had employed Chinese helpers at Wellington and Extension and found them perfectly safe and able to understand and carry out directions, lias seen no cause of complaint. Tho collieries'then called a-number of Chinese employed in the Extension mine to show their knowledge of the working of mines and danger signals. Mar Von, the lirst witness, furnished some amusement on his cross-examination by the attorney-general. He thought it was not necessary for Chinese to read the special rules and they would be safer than law-- MISTAKES BY PBOMOTERS. *•£***■ JJM" &iryptf®$iA^$'e$6k ijfti ITS OF PY-miAS^.Nelson j_oqgei No,, 25, Klitsof'PJtliiai;■uTeeteiin I. o; Q.J..Hall;corner Haker aha Kobtehay. streets, every Tuesday- everiiiig: at 8 o'clock.

Julian Ralph, the well-known United States journalist, now a coi respondent in South Africa of the London Daily Mail. thus describes the Boei'*- home and family in the authority of one who lias long lived among them, lie says: Would you like metodcseiibe a Ttans- vaat Boer home and family? Very well, J know them neaily all, and have stopped with score*, of them, foi they aie kindly and hospitable, except when their animosities are aioused A Boer house is a building made of brick and roofed with /inc. It is divided into two room5., with a wing: or lean-to at the back. That wing is the kitchen uheic the Kaflli gill works. The other two rooms aie the bed room and the eating-room. The floor of~all the rooms is made of���ant-hill earth stamped down and painted over with diluted cow-dung, sometime*" mixed ���\\\\ ith blood. This gives the floor a glossy- green sin face. The sleeping-ioom h.is as many beds as are requited���usually one for the man and wife, and another for the childit'ii. Often you will see the children's bed pushed under that of the paients. The eating-room contains a long table .tnd some chairs, seated and backed with sttips of leather. TlVio will be another smaller table, covered with Ameiican oilcloth, on whieli tho frau keeps a white gla-s sugar-dish, and perhaps a gi ecu glass spoon jar &tu'h as are given away with a pound of tea at home. These and some litogiaphs, pinned up without finines, fire the only ornament-*., and a-.ort of bettee with a scat made of leather stiips completes the furnituie. Alt' the people cleanly? Well, they are apt to wipe the plates and the baby'-- face at tlie same time and with the same cloth, aud after you have eaten your corn porndge and dued beef and sweetcake the wife will eat heis off your j dirty plate. Some women will tuin your plate upside down and eat off the bottom, but that is consider" d putting on style. There may be a harmonium in the comer of the room, and if you ciui play any simple little tune-, the -whole family will dance as long as you like to play. For ��� books there is cei tain to be it Bible, and thete will be a piayer book if they can afford it. They ate lebgious, you know : that is, they go tt) chinch and aie hind of thinking themsehos m God's keeping, but they never let religion tnteifeie with * business. At a horse tiade they will cheat the back teeth out of your head. yon have heaid that they sloep m their clothes? Well, the man takes oil his eoat and waistcoat, and sleeps in the rest that ho has on. The wife drops off an outer ski it', peihaps, befoie she gets into bed. Of late ovtia looms have been added to the houses of the better class Boers; but iu the old style, typical two loomed house, \\vhoe\\ei stops overnight must sleep with the old folks or childien. When you sleep with the old folks the husband always takes the middle of the bed. A stoiy which I know to be tine is told of bishop Mer- liman. Be was once entertained in this way, aud when he woke in the morning he found that the Boer had inept out to look after his cattle. Jle gave one glance at his sleeping companion, and dropped out of bed as quickly as if he had been tin own out. As to their ablutions, you will Seldom see a Boer with a clean face. One of them has written to a Cape Town relative lhat_hi_>_people w ill _not .wash until they lm\\e tli iven the British into the sea. That sounds impres-ii.e, but will not entail much hardship upon his people. Four Burglars Sentenced.

W. West & Co. Kicking Joseph Martin Out. The Conservative press in the east generally, and the Montreal Star and Toronto Telegram in particular, are novy applauding our ex-attorney-general for the course he is pursuing in regard to Dominion as well us provincial politics. In a recent issue the Montreal Star says : The Cornwall Freeholder is an able-bodied Liberal journal that has no use for Joseph Martin. It declares that he has attacked the government, gone over to the enemy's camp, and sneeringly remarks that the Conservatives are welcome to him. This is ungrateful as well as untrue. While Mr. Martin is vigorously criticising the government, he does so more in sorrow than in auger, and maintains that his attitude is forced 111.011 him by the party leaders' abnegation of Liberal principles whieh were laid down by the Ottawa convention of 1803, and that he has not deserted the party, but that the party has deserted him and their own platform upon whieh he is standing, and for which he and they made common cause in 1896. Mr. Martin evidently does not intend to be driven from the party's ranks, although his arraignment of the Ottawa cabinet is the strongest indictment against them. Jf he is read out of the alleged Liberal party it is safe to say that he will not go- alone, but will be accompanied by those Avho hold that promises were made to be kept and pledges given to be redeemed. The sneers of the paper of the Freeho der stripe at Mr. Martin are a poor reward for one who has done much to bring his party into office, and whose only crime is that he yet believes in the platform upon which his party was elected, and to which Liberal leaders have proved recreant.
