Even considering these points of difference in the con- ditions, any man who witnessed the delirious outbreaks of joy in’ the United States at the naval victories of Manila and Santiago will hardly hardly adm't that they have been exceeded by the British celebrations of victory. But there is another explanation of these demonstrations ‘of deep feeling, and it goes right to the ker- nel of the aational character. The recent British victories are wiping out a sense of national humiliation which beyran 19 years ago and has been growing in intensity as the wrongs which provoked it became more aggravated. The same spirit which caused the rebellion against Charles I and the expulsion of James II, and has inspired every history also causes an instinctive protest in every British heart against wrongs to a_ fellow-countryman. The disasters of Majuba and Laings Nek, followed by Gladstone’s sur- render, brought the name of. Eng- land into contempt throughout South Africa and the Dutch visited this contempt upon every Briton personally. Men of British birth felt that they were regarded as a defeated people, even by their--fel- low-citizens in British colonies, Yet they were citizens -6f an empire which boasted that its mighty arm never failed to reach out to redress the wrongs of its people, even in the remotest corners of the earth, What wonder then that, when this load of shame, contumely and oppression was lifted off by the valor of British arms, the nation’s rejoicing should be as exuberant as its shame had been poignant. The nation has ndt lost its self-poise, but it has vindicated its just boast that any race or nation which wrongs a British subject attacks the nation and will be brought to justice, though it may require the whole power of the nation to do so. This is ample cause for exultation. THE IFS AND BUTS. _ Mr. Martin’s lofty contempt for TO ADVERTISERS. New reading matter makes your advertisement attractive. We will gladly change your ‘‘ad” every issue if copy is presented before 10 a. m. the fi jal details of his railroad scheme was shown by Mr. Cotton in a speech at Kamloops a few days ago. He placed the probable cost at $10,000,000, on which the an- nual interest and’ sinking fund CAUSE FOR EXULTATION. The recent rejoicings over British victory in South Africa have called forth the following comment from the Salt Lake Tribune: “It has always been understood that the Americans partook of a little of the Irish and French viva- city, and that in moments of excite- ment, they were as impetuous as either of the races named, On the other hand, England has been con- sidered a staid and dignified coun- try, but even under the magnificent victories of the fleets in Manila har- bor and off Santiago, the Americans never showed a disposition half as hysterical as England is manifesting over the relief of Mafeking. Their -demonstrations are childish in their exuberance, and they show, above all things, what anxiety the people there have been under for the past four months because of the South African war. We think our own countryment are about the most level-headed race on earth after all.” The circumstances of the Ameri- cat: victories in the Spanish war are so different from those of the British victories in South Africa that the comparison is hardly fair, At no time during the Spanish war was ao American army besieged for months and reduced to the last expedients for food, as were the British at Kimberley, Ladysmith and Mafe- king. The Americans fought the Spaniards without meeting with a single serious reverse. Consequent- ly the Americans had not the oppor- tunity of experiencing that revulsion of feeling which comes from a change in the fortunes of war. In proportion as the British nation was cast down by defeat, was gnawed with anxiety for the fate of the be- sieged, the nation’s heart bounded with exultation at victory, with re- lief from the nervous strain of watching the patient endurance of would to $400,000 to $450,- ooo. Referring to the ‘‘small in- crease of taxation” which, Mr. Martin said, would be necessary to meet this charge, he said the reve- nue of the last fiscal year was $244,- oe00. To raise $400,000 additional would require an increase of 1607; that is, a man who now pays $10 would pay $26. When the taxpayers are practi- cally asked to invest $16 per capita per annum to pay the fixed charges on this investment, aside from the loss on operation during the first few years, which Mr. Martin esti- mates at $4000 per mile per year, they are likely to inquire how long this extra expense will last and what they will get for it. The best available precedents by which one can judge are government railroads in other provinces. The Prince Edward Island railway, which cost only $18,000 a mile, last year earn- ed a revenue $54,000 short of oper- ating expenses, let alone interest. This was in 4n unusually prosper- ous year. In spite of the improved condition due to its extension into Montreal, the Intercolonial railway last year earned only $39,000 over its working expenses towards pay- ing interest. The cost of this rail- road represents one-fifth of the to- tal debt of Canada, so one can im= agine how far this surplus fell short of paying interest. The people are now paying taxes to meet principal and interest of the cost of that rail- road. : In former days, temperance ora- tors used to call to the platform one or more bottle-nosed, bloated, whiskey-soaked monsters as horri- ble examples of the effects of intem- perance. The [ntercolonial and Prince Edward Island railways are the ‘st 's horrible i of bad investments, which are peren- nially, fed with the people’s sub- stance in the form of taxes. There ‘are conditions under which govern- ment gailroads are good invest- other struggle for liberty in British, ments, but it requires a much curately whether those conditions exist. Any government railroad scheme is hedged about.with many tin recklessly brushes on one side in his frantic pursuit of votes. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Turner's statement that “he had been dis- missed in August, 1898, because he declined overtures from T. R. E, McInnes to take W. W. B. McIn- nes into his cabinet, a letter has been written by T. R. E. McInnes to the Victoria Times in which he says? “That, Mr. Editor, is an out and out lie, I hereby challenge Mr. Turner, or anyone else, to publicly produce any letter‘or letters what- * soever in possession of himself: or his friends, or any evidence of any nature whatsoever, in any way sub- stantiating or supporting the above charge.” -, : spiritual develop and has to them a very similar significance to Lent in the Catholic and Episco- palian bodies.
