The latter, too, would by its proposed course arouse such a spirit of antagonism at Ottawa as would hinder rather than hasten the desired relief: There is no reason to fear that, if the Do- minion and imperial governments were properly approached, the im- migration would not be stopped by treaty with Japan.

Premier Martin spoke so fluently last night that he must be getting his speech down pat. For it is the same speech as he has delivered all along the line during his present tour. .It has been answered point by point again and again, it has been riddled with criticism and bombarded with facts, for which Mr. Martin has a profound con- tempt, but the industrious rhetori- cian gathers up the fragments, pieces them together and makes them do service again at the next town. One half of it tells of the base treatment Mr. Martin received from his former colleagues; the other half tells what great good things Mr. Martin will do for the people if they will only give him a chance. The two sections of his speech are joined together by an account of the good things he would have done while in office, if per- mitted by that bold, bad man, Mr. Cotton. . ‘ Thomas Carlyle once said that nothing made him feel so sad as to hear a man tell infernal lies beauti- fully. He made this remark in al- lusion toa far greater and more eloquent statesman than Mr. Mar- tin, but, if he had heard the latter gentleman last night, he would have been very sad. Mr. Martin made a careful selection of facts suited to his purpose, revised them slightly here and there to cover up the rough edges, where they had been torn loose’ from those other facts which were not suitable, dressed them up with a sauce of fiction and served them up to the audience with an air of calm assur- ance, as though they were a nice, fresh, clean dish. Buta little ex- amination betrays their true charac- ter as a sort of bearding-house hash. HOW TO STOP IT. The disallowance of the laws ex- cluding Chinese and Japanese from employment in the province im- poses an obligation on the Domin- ion government to deal with the matter promptly and decisively and to secure the approval of its meas- ures by the imperial government, in order that any laws which parlia- in disposing of the matter in an amicable manner. On the other hand, if the provincial gov- ernment attempts to deal with the subject after being notified that it is beyond the powers of the prov- ince and is a matter of international concern, a bill of damages might be incurred such as Hawaii had to pay shortly before its annexation to the United States. There is yet another argument against the grand game of bluff with which Martin and Curtis are workingmen—Chinese, not white workingmen.—Nelson Tribune. Referring to Smith Curtis's glow- ing predictions of victory on the coast, the Province says:- If Mr. Curtis was closely cross-examined on this subject he would be unable to point to any one district at the coast that the government has a hope of carrying, The accuracy of his knowledge ot coast feeling may be judged from his other statement that a government cardidate would have a ‘fair chance” of defeating Ralph Smith in Nanaimo. Or per- haps Mr. Curtis was talking for ef- fect and against his own judgment. FRENCH HAIRDRESSER.

TAILORING. playing upon popular prejudi Affairs on the Asiatic coast of the Pacific are in such a condition that we may ere long find Great Britain and Japan joined in hostile alliance against Russia, In such a case, Japan would need the help of Great Britain even more than Britain would need hers and would be will- ing to concede much to her ally, provided nothing was done to offend the national pride of Japan, But, if by hostile legislation this part of the empire should cause irritation in Japan, it would hamper the attain- ment of its own end by making more difficult the negotiation of a treaty which would stop the evil at its source. There is no question about the desirability of stopping Japanese im- migration; we are all agreed on that. The question is as to the best means to stop it promptly and effectually. The means suggested by Mr. Martin are the worst. EDITORIAL NOTES. The population of the Klondike has been reduced to less than gooo by the royalty grab and the neces- sity of standing in with Sifton’s pets in order to geta claim and hold it. Mr. Martin told the people at Revelstoke that he- was not running the election as a Liberal. This leaves every Liberal free to vote against him and his policy.—Victo- ria Colonist. When Wilfrid Laurier broods over his own troubles with Joe Mar- tin and Joe Tatte, he hasa good deal of sympathy with the wicked brethren who put Joseph ina pit. —Toronto Telegram. .
