All parties accept the law as an accom- plished fact, so Mr. Martin cannot get up any controversy on the sub- ject. Mr. Martin proposes to revive the provincial agency in London. One of his first acts on assuming office in the late government was to abolish it. But for this, it would not need reviving. He proposes to borrow money to build roads and trails and impose additional taxes to provide for the interest and sinking fund. In do- ing so, he ignores the fact that the last issue of bonds has not yet been sold by the underwriters. and that therefore the chances are slight of inducing any financial house to un- derwrite another issue. Before adding to the annual expense of the province the interest and sinking fand on these bonds, he had better find out how near the revenue al- ready comes tu meeting expenses. With the financial situation al- ready outlined staring him in the face, he proposes to issue bonds for $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 for the construction of a government rail- road, for which no survey has been made, and of the cost, practicability and earning powers of which he therefore knows nothing. This would add $500,000 a year to the annual expenses of the province during the period of construction anda lesser sum every year until the road began to pay its way. The road would be at the mercy of the C. P.

EDITORIAL NOTES. ~ Smith Curtis’ organ insinuates that mine superintendents will re- sort to intimidation to induce their employes to vote for Gov. Mackin- tosh. This is .not only a lie, but blank idiocy. “As the ballot will be secret, no man can know how an- other votes, and any attempt at intimidation in tavor of one candi- date would probably causé a man to ‘vote for the other, simply from re- sentment. The campaign ‘liar should at:least tell lies which have the appearance of probability. “Joseph Martin has at last found a candidate prepared tc contest this riding in his interests. The victim is A. J. Palmer, a farmer of Salmon Arm.” That isthe way the Kam- oops Sentinel expresses it. The czar has abolished exile to Siberia. He wants the country settled and developed, and realizes that convicts will not do this, but will hinder colonists from going there to do it. Double Daity Train Service. be to throttle it. Inhis enthusiasm for government ownership, Mr. Martin forgets his sale of the Red River Valley road, built by the PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE |e: There is a marked contrast be- tween the performances of Mr. Martin when in office as a member of the Semlin government supported by a majority of the legislature, and the promises of Mr. Martin seeking office; between the performances of Mr. Martin in Manitoba and the promises,of Mr. -Martin in British Columbia. He promises to abolish the $200 deposit for candidates for the legis- lature. He had the opportunity to do this when in office before, but | did nothing. He promises to enforce the Tor- rens land registry system. The Conservatives propose to put a similar system in operation, but would do so gradually, thus avoid- ing the heavy burden on property holders which would be entailed by the sudden introduction of the Tor- rens system. He promises redistribution. He advocated it in the last legislature, but when the government brought _ ina bill, he voted against it for reasons of personal revenge and in , violation of a written pledge. His present promises are worth no more than those he has already broken. He proposes to re-enact the anti- Chinese laws which have been dis- allowed by the Dominion govern- ment. This would indefinitely de- lay laws to check. Asiatic immigra- tion, for the Dominion government would certainly disallow them again, though it might under the law defer action on any such bill for a year and thus keep the gates open for the Mongolians and Japanese that much longer.

Rosslaid, | April 30th, 1900, “Mr. Martin told the el of Clinton that he was going to bor- row $20,000,000 in order to secure railways and other things. Mr. necessitate an annual charge of $750,000. But he is below the mark. British Columbia cannot borrow $20,000,000 at par. It can- not place $20,000,000 at go, but if it could, the issue of stock would have to be in the neighborhood of $22,250,000 in order to get $20,- 000,000 in cash. .This at 4 per cent for interest and sinking fund would call for $900,000 a year. But we believe. the stock could not be placed at go, in which event the an- nual charge would be upward of $1,0g0,000 a year. Where would this money come from? There is only one source, namely, taxation. Putting the present population of the province at 150,000, the sum of $6 per head for every man, woman and child now in British Columbia would have to be imposed to meet the minimum figure which we have named above—that is, $900,o0o— while the actual amount that would have to be raised would probably exceed $7 per head. When Mr. Martin sets out to borrow this $20,- 00,000 he will have to show thé financial world how he proposes to That the | levy this millon dollars of taxation.

Mr. Justice Drake began the sit- ting of thé supreme court in the Masonic hall yesterday with the trial of the case of J. B. Johnson & C. vs. Charles Estmere, in wich A. H. MacNeill and W. J. Whiteside appeared for the plain- tiff and W. deV. le Maistre for the defendant. Johnson claimed that he made an agreement with Estmere, who is a breker at Cranbrook, whereby|; Estmere was to divide with him all commissions the latter received through sales made to.persons in- troduced by Johnson. _ Johnson in- troduced J. C, Drewry, who pur- chased the Lake Shore mining claim, and Estmere- received. $4000 commission, of which he only paid Johnson 10 per. cent, Estmere claimed that the agreement to di- vide commissions applied to only one claim, the Try Again. Judgment was given Johnson for the amount claimed. The mineral contest cases éfRam- melmeier vs. Smith Curtis and J. E. Poupore and that of John Powers vs. the same defendants, in which A. H. MacNeill appeared for the plaintiff and J. L. G. Abbott for the defense, were adjourned for two hoped that the city council will re- alize that proper accommodation and provision tor a public reading room and library is a crying need in Rossland today. The citizens will cordially endorse any legitimate ex- ‘penditure to fill this want, and would certainly deprecate any par- simony or false economy in the matter. As has been well pointed out, our means of recreation are few, and our large population of single men have few places in which they can spend a leisure hour. Then a library for reference and reading is a necessity for all classes, and is found in many places of tar smaller size and lesser importance than Rossland. fe The council, therefore, may equip, house and maintain this in- stitution ‘suitably and conveniently with perfect confidence that no fault whatever will be found with them. On the contrary, they will earn, as a result, the gratitude of numberless readers, students and seekers after knowledge. I am, Sir, yours truly, Citizen. Romana Man Hava Mishap. W. L.
