THE TWO CANDIDATES.

The demagogue was brought face
to face with the statesman at last
night’s meeting. | When Governor
Mackintosh had ended his address,
the structure of calumny and clap-
trap, which had been built up by
Messrs. Martin and Curtis in the
same hall two weeks before, had
been reduced to its original ele-
ments. As against Messrs. Mar-
tin and Curtis’ new-born friendship
for the interests of labor, Governor
Mackintosh was able to point to a
record of consistent advocacy of the
rights of the workingmen,as a news-
paper publisher, as a member of
parliament and since his coming to
Rossland, as an owner of property.
On the eight-hour question, he
showed that he had supported the
present system while Mr. Martin
was still hesitating as to its wis-
dom, and that, when the law had
brought about a deadlock between
the employers and miners in this
city; the governor pointed to the
contract system as the solution.
Mr. Curtis’ claims to having brought
about that settlement are of the
gauziest nature. Unable to accom-
plish anything, he turned over the
task to Ralph Smith, of Nanaimo, a
member of a different party, and to
Mr. Clute of Toronto; and they suc-
ceeded where he had failed.

There was not much left of Mr.
Martin’s famous paper railroad after
the governor was through with it.
The questions of competition with
the existing railroads, of possible
Dominion control, of risks of loss as
experienced with other government
cailroads and of finance were each
dealt with in turn. At the same
time, the governor did not condemn
the principle of government owner-
ship. He said, as any prudent busi-
ness man would, that he would in-
vestigate the subject, as to its cost,
earning” power and practicability,
and as to the financial resources of
the province. In short, Mr. Mar-

and soaped famihes it can grow for
some time to come. We sent those

thrash an unwashed, but straight-
shooting race of Boers, and we
want them back again when the ob-
ject has been accomplished. To
tell the actual truth, Canada needs
them in her own business,and could
spare a lot of other men. much _bet-
ter than those first-fruits of the soil,
—Toronto Star.

If the old country wants British-
ers to settle in South Africa and
hold down the Boers, let it plant a
few thousand of its own Tommy
Atkinses in the country and give
them each a sheep range on the
veldt on condition that they join
rifle companies, ready to respond to
a call to arms at a moment's notice.
If the movement were once begun,
thousands of others who are now
stewing in the huge cities of the
British isles might be transplanted
to South Africa and become new
men with plenty of room to breathe
and exercise themselves. In this
manner, a treble purpose might be
served. The old country could be
relieved of some of its surplus pop-
ulation; South Africa would be
settled by Britishers. to whom the
balance of power would be trans-
ferred from the Dutch; and pro-

vision would be made fof a trained
military force to maintain peace and
put down Dutch disaffection. Such
soldier-settlers were the first colo-
nists, whom Rome planted on her
frontier to keep back the barbarians;
in fact, the word colonist is derived
from the word colonii, which Rome
applied to this frontier guard.

As so planting Canadians in South
Africa, the cnly people we have to

spare are those remittance fiends,
whom no country wants.

a0 REFORM THEMSELVES

a
UHiniese of the Coast Combino to Sprend
Weatern Civilization.

The Chinese of the const cities
are at last beginning to move to-
wards the adoption of western civil-
ization, for they have incorporated
under the laws of the province the
Chinese Empire Reform Association
of Canada. The objects of this or-
ganization are stated as follows in
the articles of incorporation:

“The purposes of the said society
shall, be for social intercourse,
mutual helpfulness, mental and
moral improvement and rational
recreation; and for the prumotion of
iterature, science, and fine arts,
and-the promotion and diffusion of

wledge; and for pr ‘ing the
cause of temperance and moral re-
form; and for establishing and
maintaining hospitals for the treat-
ment of disease.

“The above objects are intended
to be accomplished, among other
ways, by promoting and encourag-
ing ‘the general education of the
Chinese people in the principles of
British constitutional government,
in the science of medicine, and the
sciences .and. arts ‘generally, and
otherwise with .a view to insuring
the adoption of the leading improve-
ments, ind@strial and otherwise,
which have been and are being ad-
vantageously adopted by the En-
glish speaking people of the earth
so as, in. every Jawful way bring
about the. amelioration of the Chi-
nese people, and to secure for them
the advantages of a freer diffusion
of useful-knowledge.”

Northport on the passenger train
and the latter starts at 11:15° in-
stead of 11:45 a.m. to make time

cars come, no ore will be hauled on
