LADYSMITH Tbe follotring it a copy of the circular •cut out by tlio Vancouver Llbotal Association to the provincial Liberals to meet in convention in Vancouver on January SOth, 11)02: Vancouver, B.C., Dec. 2Srd, 1001. Dear Sir:-. Acting under inslructions from tbe Vancouver Liberal Association I enclose you a copy of a resolution passed by the Liberal Association of Vancouver on the 10th liter. Our Association Is opposed to some of the conditions laid down in the call for a Liberal Convention and for the following reasons: With retard to admitting Libera editors of papers supporting tbe Dominion government we do not think these gentlemen are in any way representative of tho Liberal .party In this province, Nearly all Ibe newspapers In British Columbia are owned or controlled by corporations who have no politics and simply run them in tbe interest ol their buslnca.', Editor! are in the employ of these corporations and arc not allowed to eiprces or have any opinion contrary to the wish of their employers. We therefore think that the admission of men of Ibis class would not tend towards bringing the Liberal party of this province into harmony. With regard to tbe members of tbe Provincial Uxecutlvo we oLjwt to their bait g delegates on the grouiid that it is a moribund body. It was elected over 4 years ago and is no longer'represent* alive ol the Liberal parly. Besides Iho effect of ".."owing these gentlemen to come in as delegates would be to give to smie constituencies undue representation in tbe cooventlon at tbe expense of oltiers, Tbe Provincial Executive was made up on tbe basis ol Dominion P. O. llox<ISo mntwij,eM|1, wlille the coning con- .iiulSft-v^o'iy '■» cutftit uu \ikit ar.,,1, ui local constituencies. It bo happens alio wtlb regard to both clastes of proposed delegates that nearly all Ibe men who wrecked the last provincial convention would come iu as delegates, and we claim that none ol these men should be allowed to attend the convention unless that have the confidence of tbe Liberals otthelr constituency and got elected as delegates in tbe regular way.

To all my Patrons I Wish a Pros parous and Happy New Year. Win. K. Lelghton Naaanao, B. C„ Jaa, r, hoi. We also object very strenuously to tbe proposal that Ibe credentials committee shall bo appointed by the Provincial Executive. We think tbe elected delegates when they meet together will be quite competent to arrange details of this character. When we consider the composition of the present Provincial Kxecutive it eeeme to be putting a very great power into their bands to allow them to determine who the membetsel the convention are to be. Our Association is very anxious to have a representative and harmonious couveul.oii and is quite prepared to submit to tbe decisions ot that conven. tlon and loyally carry Ihem out. For this reason we think it necessary to protest at the out-set against any con ditlone which will tend to destroy the representative character of tho con. ventlon, and at the same time introduce a most discordant element into it. Oar delegates will therefore take part In the convention only upon coudltion that tlieso II obnoxious clauses iu the call are not acted unon. We hope that your association will aeothe matter in tho samo light and Jiiu -iiib ib In this protest. Yours truly, , THUS. 11. MACKiV, Sec, Lib, Ass. The following is tbe resolution referred to in Ibe foregoing: Uesolved that the Vancouver Liberal Ass elation protest against clauses (d) and (e) ot Section 2 if tbe call for t Liberal convention, which Include at delegates to the convention the follow, ing: (d) Tho oflleciB and exeoulive of tbe British Columbia Liberal Association. (e) The Liberal managing editors ol the provincial newspapers that support the Dominion government, providing that the names ol sucu edUui iMsem to) the secretary, previous to the da*, -/. convention. And also against Section 5 ot tbe sale call, which provides that tho credentials committee shall consist of 5 members to be selected by the executive at 2 o'clock p.m., or as scon thereafter as poEsibit on the first day of the convention. And that copies of this protest In sent to the different Liberal associations, throughout' tho province asking their co-operation therein. WESTHAM ISLAND FARMER HISSING Believed To Have Perished in the Storm a : Fortnight Ago. Search is now being made for any trace of John Axley, a well known farmer of Westham Island, at the mouth of the Fraeer River. He has been missing two weeks, and the people of Westham Island are anxious to learn something of his whereabouts. Mr. Axley left Westham Island in his fishing boat, which is marked with the letters "T.K.," loaded with potatoes and bound for Ladysmith. Shortly after his departure from Westham the stiff breeze which seemed to be the precursor of the recent hurricane began to blow, and it is calculated that Mr. Axley would be caught in it somewhere near this side of the gulf. He was an experienced sailor, but the boat was heavilly loaded and in a high sea and strong wind would be perhaps mare than one man could manage. Mr. Axley is a well-built man of medium height, dark com- plexioned, with dark grey whiskeis. He was much esteemed I! amongst the Westham Island people being a quiet and respectable man. He has a wife and family in Eastern Canada, and he was sending his savings back to them regularly. He was doing very well at the fishing and small farming, and had made trips to Ladysmith before this last one from which he has not yet returned. Anyone finding any trace of the missing man will confer a great favor by communicating immediately with Mr. A. S. Christie, Ladysmith, who will promptly .notify the Westham Is- J land friends of Mr. Axley. + ' 111111 It 11M1111 HI ft Mi IT If -H-HIT111 III 11II11111 fiT NANAIMO LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.

Tho chairman in opening the meeting eald that the object ol thla gatbsiing wat one ol the most Important In which Canadians could interest themselves, He pointed out the fact that while the United Slates ewarmed with elite militia and national guards Canada wat tlegularly deficient in this respect. The Dominion militia numbered only about forty thousand, which was very tmall considering tbe extent ol the country and tha. population. The present war had brought home to all the prime importance of cultivating the art ol rifle ibootlng amongst the people, and be hoped that tbie meeting would reallie that Canada'! best hope in the troublous times that ni'ght arise In tha future was a people trained to use with ekill the weapon which was to decide the fats ol nations, namely the title.

It is one of tbe phenomena ol psychical science that no resolutions made by the featherless biped fade so quietly from the tablett of hit memory as those solemn and very potent ones ol Mew Year's morning. But nailer to have vowed a vow than never to have vowed at all; for the influence ot tbe little moment of introspection which hsd lor its result that resolve to do belter ieavena the mtuu u. .Jffe mortality which even for thai brief tun. wat tl.e battle ground of a conscience.

THKACHERV TO LABOR. Pomblr the working men ot Nanalmo may bo presumed to know tbtlr own buoinese best, and no doubt they be1i.ee tbat they do not require any outtider to tell them how rrany beans make Ave, but Tbe Leader will be disagreeably surprised if those woralngmen do not relent the insult put upon them b» Mr. H. Ailken of Nanaimo Herald at the meeting in Free Press Hall on Friday evening last, Mr, Ailken there declared, In reply to a question put to him by a perton in the audience, that Nanalmo Herald wat not a labor paper, and did not represent tbe labor interests. Thit avowal in face of the assertion reiterated In the Herald to a nauseating •stent ie certainly the boldest, Indeed the molt daring, piece of impudence we have ever leen attempted by a political quack confident in the unlimited gullibility of hie dupet. So, the Herald, according to this public confession Is, after all, not a labor paper (when it is needed for "Liberal" purpoics); and we presume that it it not a Liberal paper when it is wanted for labor purpose!. A pretty state of things. If the labor party of Nanalmo will put up with this aort of impudence they will endure any kind of insult. Of one thing we are very certain and tbat ia that the Herald is not a Liberal paper; the Liberal party doea not want any such papers supporting it; and ae tbe manager declare! publicly and explicitly that the Herald Is not a labor paper, what la it? Have the public of Nanaimo not yet found out that it ie published as the organ and to do the dirty work of Ralph Smith, Dr. MacKeehnle and the gang who are attempting to run Nanaimo at present, and who have befooled io many good Nanaimo men? It is neither labor nir Liberal nor Conservative; It is simply Smith.HacKcchnle, and a precious specimen at that. Filled daily with calumny and slanders, couched in the style of a ragamuffin at ono wonld expect from such a Bource; deliberately falsifying iu matte're of fact; utterly tailing to discusi tiie great questions affecting labor which it has all along pretended to uphold, but which is conveniently dropped when the Herald'e wretched "support" is needed for the schemes of tbe petty plotters who control iti utterance!, Nanalmo Herald hat earned for ils'eli a most unenviable notoriety, the contempt and derision of all honorablo people and the scorn of even Iti own aupportert, When the Herald wai teeking the support of the people about a year ago it wai put forward, at a ttaunch and faithful tupporter ot ltbor's came. Now, the very man who grovelled and whined before the public to get them to pledge their support to the paper, repudiate! hliilatciiisnt and isyi the Herald is not a labor paper. Bo l>» i, w. •». any rate, never clatted the Herald as a friend of labor, hut always as a dangerous enemy, became the extraordinary stupidity, the downright aslninlly ol its articles (see Rev. J. 0. Speer's recent letter published in the Herald and Leader) have made not only the writers of tbe Herald staff (does it include Messrs. Ralph Smith and Or. Ho. Kechnie) ridiculous to a painful degree, but have dona more harm to labor's caute than atudled arguments in opposition, The unblushing treachery, the cool, briny effrontery of Manager Aitken In repudiating tbe labor cause, and the thamotul purpose for which the delett- ableact ol treachery was committed, may well astound the workingmen of Nanaimo. Will li.ey allow themselves to be led by tbe nose by this would-be Liberal gang and their paper with ita patent reversible, lelf-righting policy, always adjusted for any emergency? Hll.l.lill IN HITI'l.i:. Victoria Colonist iu a remarkably in tereiting article in its Sunday issue speculates upon the change tbat has come over tbe timee as shown by the fact tbat the death ol a handful ol men en the battlefield nowadays it described ae "a serious lots," and comparing thoie louts with tbe hecstombi with which the rncient conquerors were wont to strew theV battlefields. Tha.«rlieBia tbe course ol the article makes a serifts error in declaring that the Gothi Invadtd Franco and that a gieit battle wat torg«at between the In We Have Them All NowT All the New Season's Fruits New Cleaned Currants New Cleaned Raisins New White Figs New Dates Lemon, Orange aud Citron Peel, all cut ready for use.

Tbe Colonist must be re ferring to the great battle at Touri be tween Ibe Saracens under Abderrab roanlbn Abdlllah Alahafeki, and the Frank! under tbe famous Charles Mai • tel, sou of tbe equally famous Pepin Duke of Herlttel, which took place in A. 1). 732. While the daughter of the Arabs wat immense, and is gljgn in some of tbe old monkish chronicles as 375,000, whilst the Franks lost only 1.007, the Colonist it surely mistaken in putting the number st ilx hundred thoutand; especially as the Frankltb and Mohammedan writers eetlmate tbo army of Abderrahman to bavo been only five hundred thouiand. Agsin, it is very questionable if that were tbe bloodiest engagement ever fought, even allowing a fair deduction from the figures of the old writer,, whose variations in estimate ol num bera have greatly troubled modern historians, who have had to seek their facli amongst those musty records When ono recalls the exploits of the great conquerors of the olden times, thoie grand and terrible warriora who exterminate! whole nations in a cam' paign, wo may find tbat even the fields of Touri ind Ohalons, whero Aeliue, the Roman general, aud Theodorio, King ol the Gotbe, defeated Attila and the Huns with a slaughter ol 260,000, bad some dole rivals. So tremendous was the slaughter of the Persians at Arbelr by the Macedonians under Alexander that historians reject the figures at fahtiluus, Marathon, which the Colonist writer mentions, woe not a sanguinary battle compared with tha other engagements between the Greeks and the Persians at Artlmlslum, Salamle, Platan and the F.uryuiedon While one ie on thia theme, which Is not without Its fascination, oven for the mere student, one may easily recall tbe vast slaughter! In the fights between the force! of Hannibal and thoao of Rome at luch actiona aa Canric, and 55 turn. Then, who doei not remember tbat grand description in the Commentaries of Caesar of the annihilation of the splendid army ol the Nervii? Motley, the historian cf the Dutch Republic, baa Included it in his historical sketch ol the early timee in the provinces, in his own pellucid style and vivid ct 1 iur- lag, and it is worth reproducing here, ae battle la our theme "Tho Nervii, true to their German blood, swear to die rather than surren. ,1., (wear advances against them a' tbe head of eight legions (about 00.000 men).

'At the same moment,' says Caesar, 'they seemed in the wood, in tbe river, and within our lines. There it a panic among Ihe Romant, but it li brief. Eight veteran Roman lea- ions, with the world's victor at tbeir bead, are too much for the brave but undisciplined Nervii. Snatching s ihleld from a soldier, and otherwise un. armed, Caeear throws lilinstll into the hottest of Iho fight. The battle rages foot to foot and hand to hand; but the hero's skill, with the cool valor of hie troopi, prove! aa invincible as ever. The Nervii, true to their vow, die, but not a man enrrenders. They fought upon that day till the giound wat heaped with tbeir dead, while, rb the foremost fell thick and fast, their comrades, says the Roman, sprang upon their piled up bodies, and hurled their j ivelini at the enemy as Irom a hill. They fought like men to whom life without liberty wae a curse. They were not defeated but ex* terminated. Of many thousand fighting men went home bnt five hundred. Only three of their senators war. left alive. So perished Ihe Nervii. Caesar commanded hli legions to trest with respect the little remnant ot the tribe which had just fallen to awell the empty eebo of bis glory, and then, with hardly a breathing pause, he proceeded to annihilate the ".Ailualit-l, tbeJMenapii and the Moriul."

And thit supplies the answer to the Ocloniat'B apec* ulalion ae to the reason for regarding tbe death of a few soldiers in baltlo to* pay ae a serloui matter. From tbe daye of Attila, Genghlz, Tamerlane, Alexander, Hannibal, and Caetar, Alaric and tbe other, mighty chieftains who slew whole nations, down to South Africa and the Philllplnca where tbe death ol a lieutenant and a tmall guard la a "disaster," Is a lar cry Indeed.

Take even the pat. aage of tbe Bereslna, where tbe carnage was so great that the bed of tbe etream waa choked up lor montba with the brdies. Nor mutt we omit mention it tie Titanic ttruggle between Napoleon's mighty army, and tbe tho Russians at Borodino, that Pyrrhic victory whioh wrung frcm "bror.za lips" tbe famous maxim: "If you would have an omelette you must break a few eggs.'"

NATHAN IIASKKLL DOLE. Boston, Maer., U. S. A., Deo. IU, 1001, V HONEY AND BEESWAX. Where They Are- Produced and Wliurt' Much Beeswax Goes. Keeping bees Is a pleasant and classic occupation, sanctioned by poets in all ages; moreover, and to tho practical modern this is far more importatit, It is n paying; business when scientifically conducted. The number ot beekeepers in tbt* country is estimated at about 300,000, and they sell annually somo 8,000,000 or 4,000,000 poundB of their sweet produce. In every state of tho Union they may be found, but Florida, Texas, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Michl- gan, Wisconsin and central unl northern New York are the great beekeeping sections, Wherever great quantities of bass* wood, buckwheat and, of course, clover, are found, there beekeeping means a pretty good income. Sonic bee farmers have; 1,500 to .1,000 colonies under their euro and have reduced the business to a pretty exnet science. In Colorado, Arizona and states In the neighborhood of the great desert the honey "crop" is as sure as anything can well be. even the proverbial "death and taxes." Elsewhere the clover crop may be ruined by ruin or drought, but there the sun is sure to shine and the canals are- sure to Irrigate, so, that the lack of clover is practically impossible. And It is nl* falfa clover, too, of which four crops aro certain every year. Under these conditions it Is not surprising to find in Arizona and similar states whole comities keeping bees as In other partti of tho country people cultivate furms. It Is, In fact, the only certain thing In that'ill favored land, ns the alfalfa clover Is the one green thing that can coax a livelihood out of Inhospitable soil. Maeterlinck has written a book about tbe bee. Perhaps sonic philosopher will one day arise to sing the praises of the clover, living where nothing else can grow, and, alone of nil "weeds," enriching the soil which gives It life. Arizona folk may not be philosophers, but they are properly grateful to the kindly blossom. If the story of the clover Is somewhat romantic, tbat of the beeswax 1b hardly less so, Several hundred thousand pounds of beeswax are produced every year, and prices are steady and conservative. Much of It goes Into commonplace nsofl. Shoemakers, dentists, thread manufacturers and the like use lunch of It and cannot use anything In its place; glassworkers, too, require It for molding purposes, but the Interesting part of the beeswax business comes when it is exported to Russia. The Greek church uses nothing but pure beeswax for Its candles, This, apparently, Is an ecclesiastical law. Bo beeswax Is exported In enormous quantities to burn In Russian churches. When the price is low, nil that can- be procured is bought up tor exportation, It Is distinctly an Interesting career, this of the beeswax, beginning with the irrigation of the desert and ending as the candles flicker before an eastern shrine PATH'S OIFT. anil Mine. Fntti, attracted by the beauty of its design and the gorgeous bloom of its roses, chose to carry It personalty off tho stage. As she lifted the basket and kissed Its flowers tbe little dog, which was badly frightened by the experience it had bad, gave a feeble cry.. The 'diva started, looked curiously into the mass ot flowers, gavo a purely feminine scream ot delight, end, running down to the footlights, whispered gleefully to tho audience, "I declare If it isn't n lovely littie dogl" No one who has not been at a Pflttl per formance cnu realize tbe enthusiastic volume of applause that greeted this announcement. Men jnuped up on tho chuii's ami yelled "Brnvu, brave, I'atti!" and women waved thoir fans and handkerchiefs and cried hysterically. Suddenly I'atti dived her curly head Into the basket and kissed the dog, whereat ft fresh storm of cheers rung through the bouse. Then she tried to extract the little nuimul from the (lowers, so that she could show him to the audience. But he was ti»il In securely with ribbons. Whereupon she said lu dumb but eloquent pantomime, "I can't get him out." Finally, as the applause showed no sigas of abatement, she ran off the startc, gave the dog and his basket to an attendant, came tripping back and whispered, "Home, Sweet IToino" to Slgnor Arditl, and the ballad was sung ns only I'atti can sing It. There were tears In her eyes as she finished, mid many a man la the auditorium choked down a Bob and many a woman wept silently as the pathetic strains ot tbe old song floated In nmurnful cadence through Ibe auditorium.

It is too often the case, however, that the children's room is a decidedly doleful place, aud it is no wonder that the little folks persist in straying from their own particular domain, going upon littlo excursions to the drawing room, the library or tbe kitchen, any oue of which Is far pleasanter than the quartern op stairs that have been assigned to them. Mothers argue: "Anything is good enough for the children when they are young, they are so destructive, you know. After awhile I will fix up their quarters, but so long as they are small It doesn't matter much what they have so long as they are comfortable." Would that mother be comfortable In a room where the outlook gives one only a glimpse of hick streets and brick walls? Would she think it comfortable to catch her toes dally In holey carpet of a hue so dingy that it is enough to drive even a baby into a fit of artistic despair? Would she be comfortable with no pictures on the walls, which are covered only by ft solid wall paper the pattern of which is unpleasantly suggestive of all sorts of crawling things? To be wnrm and bdve enough to cat ts not all tbe comfort required by a baby, though many mothers' appear to think so, judging from the quarters of their littlo ones. Babies are quick to notice beauty. A bright carpet, some pictures representing events in child life, a sunny room where the furniture Is whole and clean—In fact, a bright and cheerful nursery—will leave Us pleasaut impression on the childish mind long after tbo occupant has passed through Its portals to do battle with the great world lying beyond and will be the cornerstone ot many pleasant memories, whereas the priBonllko dens -which pass for nurseries will never bo thought of save with feelings of dislike, for first Impressions even In small children aro the ones to last tbe longest, and tho early surroundings arc bound to make their mark on the minds that are at that time lu tho most receptive state.

Extraordinary Conduct of Certain Members at Friday's Meeting, In Free Press ball, Nanaimo, on Friday evening last a meeting of tbe Liberal Association of Nanuimo waa called by tbe secretary, Mr. Mercer, f jr the alleged purpose uf reorganizing the Association and electing delt galea to send to the Provincial Liberal Assoc!' atioa convention In Vancouver, next month. It eoon appeared that the nieuibors of tho Labor parly of Nanalmo outnumbered the Libeials considerably, and headed by the president of the Labor party, Dr. McKechnio, formoily a member of tbe Nanaimo Liberal Association and of tbe Liberal parly, began to run tbinge to suit themselves. The motion lo appoint Mr. Walter Roos chairman was opposed by Mr. II. Aitken, manager nf the organ ol the Labor parly, Ihe Nanaimo Herald, who proposed that D.-. McKochulo, president of Ihe Labor party, but formerly president of tbe old Nanaimo Liberal Association, disbanded seine time ago, lake the chair. There was a warm argument between Messrs. Boyce, the mover ol the motion and Mr. Aitken. Iu Ihe courso of Ibis dleiussion Mr. Ailkcn slaitlcd all pretent by boldly denying that the Herald was the organ ol the Labor party, or reprf tented the interests of Labor, The latter confession was certainly correct, but the former surprised every one. Mr. Boyce then read from the editorial columns of Ihe Herald and proved thai Ibe position taken by that paper and the party was oneol compteto independence; that they might ally themselves with either the L-licra! or IheConBer- vallve parly. Mr. Boyce pointed out the monstrous impertinence of any such party presuming io claim the right to nominate a chairmau for a Liberal meeting. It was a well-known fact tbat the Labor party had met previously lo this meeting and taken secret measures lo ensure the twainpln- of Ibis meeting as a Liberal meeting. Or! tbe votu being taken Dr.- Mo- Ivechuie, president of the Labor parly, was duly, elected chairman, aid in hie remarks (1 timed to he a good Liberal eiill, ulthough president ol the Labor party and identified with that parly, lie said Senator lVtnplcinan had sett him circulars fir ilistiihuilou ou nouueing the coming convention. Th 1 meeting was called to olect three dele gates lo that convention. AHersomo further Ulk the Liberals left the meeting lo hold ono of tbeir own aud e'ect Liberal delegates to the convention. The Labor parly then wont on with their meeting, eleclir g the following officers for the cnsultg year: Free! dent, C. II, Barker; vice-president, Jas, Young; escrctary, A. MoKeizic; treasurer, W. H. Kelly. Too delegates of Ihe Labor party to tbe Liberal convention In Vancouver were then elected as fcollaat O. H. Barker, James Youug and W. Woodman. Alternative delegates 1 J. Mc- l.iau and W- H. Kelly. Iu Ibe course of a abort epeech Mr. Jamee Young madn a virulent attack on "Joe" Martin, ae he called him, saying that ii that gentleman were lo he regarded as a leader there would bo no party lines for I Iro, "Jim" Young. Mr. Tyson in reply to Ihota remarks said that from hie experienco of Vancouver and of "Joe" Martin bo was tbe bett Liberal British Columbia hud ever teen. Ho challenged anyone to contra* diet that. He wat the workinainan'r friend and had enacted laws which proved It, and which no other Llbsral ever had Ihe courage or the brains to ensct, ' Joe" Martin's laws were strongly in lavor ol Ibe working classes. Mr. Tyson's remarks were not disputed. Tho masting then adjiurned. Jobniton Block Nanalmo, B.C. P. 0. *», W, lei. 1«5. . Smith woiliiia-ton The residence el Alex.
