In contrast to Governor Mackin-
toshj we have offered us Smith Cur-
tis, who has distinguished himself
neither by business success nor by
public service.” He must be judged
by his leader, Mr. Martin, who is
known to fame by his industry as a
destroyer and by the pugnacity with

_|which he pursues his enemies.” As

investors look over the field of profit-
able. development offered by this
province, they pause’ in dread as
they see the sinister form ‘of Martin
at the head of the government, seek-
ing a popular endorsement. The
best he offers is increased debt, in-
curred to carry out. visionary
schemes, of the magnitude of which
he has admittedly no clear concep-
tion. With the increased dekt would
come increased taxes to pay interest
and sinking fund charges. On the
subject of Asiatic immigration, he
proposes a course- which would
bring the province into conftict with
the Dominion and Imperial govern-
ments and which would’ block all!
measurés to promptly remedy--the
evil. His promises brand him as a

BROWN IN A CORNER.

“Winchester? Brown, Martin's
new minister of finance, was ina
tight place at an anti-Martin meet-
ing at Sapperton last Monday.
After having taken part in the con-
vention of the provincial party at
Westminster, which passed resolu-
tions strongly condemning his pres-
ent chief, he tried to explain his
flop by saying that Martin was his
only refuge against the old Turner
party. When his connection with
the Westminster convention was
brought up by Mr. McBride, he at-

THE ALTERNATIVE.

British Columbia is now having
an object lesson in the effects of un-
wise legislation and unstable gov-
ernment on development. In order

that its latent richés may be de- |

veloped, the province must. have
capital. When the riecessary capital
is ready, there will be no difficullty
in securing the labor to apply it at
good wages. This will mean in-
creased population and more busi-
ness for the merchants. But capital
will not come, while there is danger
of its profits being destroyed by a
government which seeks only to
ride on the passing wave of popu-
larity, nor until a government is
placed in office which will give
proper security to the investor: and
has a majority of the legislators at
its back to give it permanency. As
long as capital thus stays away,
there will not be increased employ-
meot for labor and business will re-
main stagnant.

The two alternatives in this con-
stituency are represented on the one
side by Hon. C. H. Mackintosh, on
the other by Hon; Smith Curtis,
Governor Mackintosh stands on a
platform which promises nothing
except what every reasonable man
knows can be performed by a gov-
erment with a majority of the legis-
lature at its back, He has carefully
abstained from promising any
measures as to which there is any
doubt of the ability of the province
to carry them out. His very caution
in this respect is proof that he is
sincere in making the promises he
does, and will do his utmost to per-
form them. ‘His success in the past
in inducing the great ‘investment of
capital which is the mainstay of
Rossland’s prosperity, is an earnest
of what he could accomplish if he

‘had a controlling voice in the gov-
ernment. The prestige hehas gained
by his business success would in-

d a denial of having called it
and repudiated responsibility for the
anti-Martin resolutions. But when
Mr. McArthur asked hjm_ point
blank what had been his opinion of
Mr. Martin at the time that con-
vention was held, Mr. Brown de-
clined to state his opinion, and
somewhat hurriedly left the hall.

An instance of the ignorance of
the Martin party in regard to the
route.of their proposed government
railroad was brought out by Mr.
McBride. The. Columbian in re-

Brown had said a good deal about
goverment ownership of railways
and he made a deliberate promise
that the railway and bridge shall
be built, and yet he does not know
if it can be built. His colleagues in
the cabinet at recent meetings In
Dewdney were. at variance. Hon;
Mr. Beebe said the pass the rail-
way would enter was 1300 feet
high; Hon. Mr. Martin. placed it at
2500 feet, and Hon. Smith Curtis
said it was 4000 feet high. Fhis
shows the reckless way in which
these men were promising all sorts
of things.””

This diversity of statement as to
the height of that pass shows. the
want of concerted action on the
part of the Martin romancers which
must damage their cause. As none
of them knew how -high it was,
they should have agreed beforehand
how high they would make tt and
then all should have told the same
story. To quote the lord high exe-
cutioner, this would have given
“verisimilitude to: an otherwise
bald and unconvincing narrative.”
Collaborated political - fiction re-
quires perfect agreement between
the collaborators and close «tten-
tion to detail, otherwise such little
discrepancies as this in regard to
the height of that pass may in-
spire Coubt among. a__ naturally.
sceptical people. This suggestion
is offered in all kindness, for the
