CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE In the selection of A, H. Mac- |i Neill as standard of this district in the Domin- ion house, the Conservative convention could not have chosen more wisely. The situation is such as tc demand a candidate who will appeal to the people as a clean p tive of the people’ 's“interests unhampered by pe litical cliques,and with no other obli- gation than that of furthering, to the utmost, the welfare of this great “section. It is such a man who has been selected and nobody, better than the citi: of R land, ir- bearer for ward in Vi » B.C. In July 1896 he came to Rossland and formed the law firm of MacNeill & Dea- con. He wasmadea Q.C. in 1899. He was the author of the famous eight-hour law, and has been con- nected with most of the litigation of any note that arose in this city. IMPORTANT DECISION. An important and far-reaching decision was handed down last week in Toronto by Justice Mere- dith, touching the rights, of munici- palities and the powers of provincial legislatures. It wasin a case in which the city of Toronto claimed , | the right to establish and open up a street crossing the railway tracks, the city maintaining that it within the constitution to do this by virtue ROSSLAND EVENING RECORD, SEPTEMBER i tgoo. &INVESTMENT.

Mr. Justice Meredith, in the decision above reterred to, de- clares that the province alone can confer the authority to open up streets, but that whereas in this particular case the street crosses railways operating under federal charter, viz: the C. P. R. and the G. T. R., the: Dominion authority vested in the railway committee of ™ | the privy council may be used to settle the conditions of the use of a street or to prevent the use of it asacrossing. The decision also accords to the Dominion the right of ordering protection by sub-ways, bridges or gates. UNDERGROUND IN LONDON. The new underground electric railway in London is said to be an improvement upon all other systems. daily.” | The depth of the tunnel from the surface varies from 60 to 100 feet: Each of the tracks has a separate tuonel to itself. Passengers are taken to and from the surface by elevators, each of which has capaci- ty for atrain load. The stations are light and airy, aud the cars on the underground trains are fully equal to those above ground. The same track is never used by’ trains running both ways, and the danger of a head-end collision is thus can- celled. Notwithstanding all this. how- ever, so greatly are the demands of traffic increased, the present system is not complete betore it is felt to be d anda ment is contemplated. EDITORIAL NOTES. According to Mr. Rennie, Cana- adian commercial agent at Buenos Ayres, it is entirely probable that the prevalence of disease among the cattle of the Argentine plains may greatly increase the export trade in Canada cattle to Europe. Both residence and business houses, especially the: former, are of party incli know. it.

Of more than 60 delegates present in person, Ross- land had but three in attendance, which is pretty fair evidence that this city did not particularly aspire to name the man. It was a repre- sentative convention, and in its ranks were five members of the ex- isting house, two .members of the fate local legislature, two Dominion representatives, and any number of men prominently connected with that of the D To be exact, take the official figures for Canada: Last year there were 25 accusations of murder. Two of these were not disposed of; nine of the accused were acquitted, three were declared insane, eleven, or nearly one in two, were convicted and hanged. Ac- cording to the Chicago Tribune, in 1899, there were 7840 persons charged with murder in the United States, only 109 of whom were exe- cuted, or one in.27.
