Tories Were Right,
Electors whose memories run back
to the time when the Canadian Paci.
fic Railway project was being pushed.
throegh Parliament will remember
that with scarcely an exception the
Liberal party were opposed to its con-
struction and fought it to the bitter
end. The present premier of Ontario,
Hon. G. W. Ross, was at that time a
member of the Dominion Parliament,
and among the opponents of the rail-
way he was not the least conspicuous.
In one of his.speeches at that time he
sail:
" 1 v-enture to say," he ex-
claimed, "that from one end
of tbe Dominion to the other,
no more joyful news could be
spread. than the tidings that
•would flash from the
Atlantic to the Pacific that
this contract was abandoned,
• and that Canada was emanci-
• pated from the terrible conse-
quences likely -to flow from it."
Now, after a lapse of nineteen years,
Mr. Ross changes his tune. in a
• speech made the other day he said:
"I remember when the Can-
adian Pacific Railway was con-
structed we thought Sir John
Macdonald was undertaking a
-herculean enterprise, one that
would crush the country. I
think perhaps lie was right
and we were wrong. I think,
perhaps, he builded more wise-
ly than he knew. No one will
say to -day that the building of
the railway was a mistake.
Canada to -day would be a very
small country, would be weak-
er in the councils of the Em-
pire, would scarcely be a feder-
• ated Dominion as it is, were it
not for the Pacific railway."
This .means a great deal more than
it:says. It meats that the Conserva-
tive policy, which has at all times been
so fiercely denounced by the Liberal
Leaders, has been right from start to
finish; and it being right, conversely
the hostile policy of the other party, if
they really had any clearly defined
policy other than to get office, was
wrong. The people of Canada, how-
ever, all along knew better than Mr.
Ross and his companion office -hunters,
and they kept the Conservative party
at the head of affairs until they were
,deceived by lavisla promises of enhan-
a&prosperity from free trade into gi-
ving the Liberal leaders a chance to
show what they are capable of. But
they have clone nothing for the coun-
try—save the good that has resulted
from their having permitted the old
Conservative policy, which they for-
merly denouriced, to continue its good
work. Mr. Ross' tribute to the states-
manlike policy of the Conservative
party, though somewhat tardy, is wel-
come. The question arises, did Mr.
Ross and friends believe what, they
were saying when they were denoun-
cing those projects now declared to
have been so beneficial to Canada ? If
they did they were unworthy the
name of statesmen. If they did not
they were attempting to befool the
people just to secure office. Which
was it?

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Prior to the general election of 1896
the public were informed that if
the Liberals were placed in power,
coal oil would be reduce(' to seven or
eight cents a gallon, as it is an the
A.merican side. Free trade would
accomplish it—sure. Now that coal
oil has gone up to 25 cents, and may
reach 30 cents a gallon, the consumer
is beginning to wonder, when the re-
duction is to take effect.
x =
Events, an independent weekly pub-
lished at Ottawa, saes the Globe, since
it passed into the hands ,of a number
of rich speculators, cannot be consid-
ered as expressing the sentiments of
true Liberals, These men control the
Globe he order that they may control
the Governinent for their own selfish
purposes. They are prepared to sup-
port any eolicy, howevee opposed to
Liberal principles, that promises to

Farmers and others interested will
ell have noticed that one of the binder
twine factories in Ontario which last
year paid a dividend of sixty per cent.
has paid one hundred per cont. this
year, The fermata will remember
that binder tWine was a great deal
talked abotit by the Liberal leaders
before the eteetion, who alleged that
under Conservative rale the farmers
were being robbed by the binder twine
the vobbery to go ori Troo, the two
Groverninents have establisbed binder
tevias factories— eue at Toronto and
the other at Kingston, both in connec-
tion with penal institulions,—but the
farmers haye not been benetitted by
the cheapened proauctioo, instead
of being sold to farmers, the product
is turned over to prominenteupperters
of the party at a low figure, who exact
the highesti possible price from the
farmers who consume the twine, It is
not surprising that fuuds are forth-
momiog for the parposes of the gang of
boodlers and persouators evil° bave
been operating in so many constituen-
cies in the interest a the Liberal Gov-
ernments, no is it surprising that a
company whose basieess is not con-
trolled by the Government can pay its
stockholders 100 per cent per annum
on the face yalne of their sthelc.
The London correspondeut of the
New York Evening Post in his cabled
letter says the remarkable develop-
ments whieh British policy is now un-
dergoing bas great significance. Be-
fore Lord. ,Salisbury aoncluded the
agreement with Germany and the
United States respecting Samoa he
communicated the general terms of it
to each Government in Australia and.
New Zealand, and not until the assent
of their respectiye premiere had been
secured did he close the deal, Those
who recall the scenes between Lord
Salisbery and, the Australian delegates
when New Guinea was under debate
in the colonial conference in 1887, and
recall how stoutly the British cabinet
then persisted in the traditional British
policyof governing the Empire without
taking the colonies into consideration,
even where colonial inteeests were vit-
ally concerned, will realize the in omen -
taus change which the present action of
Lord. Salisbury implies. Recent events,
indeed, have imposed a new diplomacy
even upon a man of Lord Salisbury's
innate conservatism. 13y accepting
(these who know the whole facts will
be tempted to say by inviting) legislat-
ive and. armed support of British policy
from Canada and Australasia, as in the
case of the South African war, British
ministers ha,veladopted an entirely new
principle of partnership in the admin-
istration of the Empire. Thus Lord
Salisbury awaits the approval of En-
gland's partner, Australasia, before he
settles the Samoan question with the
United States and Germany, and En-
gland herself will take care to inform
herself of the view of her junior part-
ners to South Africa, Canada and Aus-
tralasia, before she remakes the map
of South Africa after the Union Jack
has been floated over Pretoria. It will
take time for this new relationship. to*
find, etpression in the constitution of
the Empire, but that the actual a,dmin-
istration of the Empire is now based
on principles of partnership is a mo-
mentous fact.
WORSE THAN THE GANG.
Toronto Telegram (Independent.)
It may be presumed that the
Conseryative press, whose val-
uable homilies on the West
Elgin have been duly noted,
will no w tura\ their attention to
East Elgin, where the Conser-
• vative member has been un-
seated for improper practices
by agents.—Globe.
The Globe knows that the result in
East Elgin implies nothing beyond the
corruption which has marked the pro-
cedure of both parties.
And the Globe knows that there is
no moral or legal similarity between
the bribery which unseated the Tory
Brower, in East Elgin, and the infa-
mies which disgraced the Liberals in
West Elgin.
A party in power is in a position to
exchange subsidies and legislation fax
contributions to its campaign fund.
Therefore the Opposition should real-
ize that, purity is always its best pol-
icy. The truth is that each party will
bribe if it gets a chance. The Globe
knows also that only one party gets a
chance to cheat 8,nd rob in the polling
booths. The organ's suggestion that
Tory bribery in East Elgin was an
offence of the same magnitude as the
Liberal frauds in West Elgin and
North Waterloo is more infamous and
dangerous than the worst acts charged
agaihst the threshing machine gang.
THE WEEK IN AFRICA,
There have been no
consequence in South
the past two weeks,
towns of Ladysmith,
Kimberley have been
battles of any
Africa during
although the
Mafeking and
subjected. to a
fierce and almost continuous cannon-
ade by tbe Boma. Little damage is
said to have been done these places,
while sorties by their garrisons at dif-
ferent times are reported to have in-
flicted severe punishment upon the
besiegers. On the other hand the
Boers destroyed an armored train near
Estcourt, south of Ladysmith, and
captured about 100 English soldiers
who were with it. Among these pris-
oners is Lt. Winston Churchill, son of
the late Lord Randolph Churchill,
some years ago the dashing leader of
the Conservative patty in the English
House of Commons.
In the meantime tbe failure of the
Boers to capture any of thee towns
and thus permit, their armies to march
south has been of great advantage to
the British. Troopships bearing Brit-
ish reinforcements have beat almost
daily arriving at Durban and Cape
Town until there are nearly- 90,000
men ready to march towards the Trans-
-veal. Some of these are now on the
way to the relief of the beleaguered
towns. It is reported that a large por-
tion of the Ladysmith besiegers, under
General Joubert, are moving south- '
ward to meet the advancing British-
ers. When they some together, as
they may do in a few days, 0. decisive
battle may take place.

BOSSLAND LIIPROVEIvIENTS.
Roseland has a population of about
7,000 people, has been incorporated
about 2 years, has graded streets,milee
of sidewalk, fire protectioun electric
lightwaterworks,good school,churenes
and fine stores. Financially it is
sound. For a mining camp it is as
peacefin, law-abiding and moral a
• city as will be found anywhere.
Men and women areteafe on the streets
e1 eibher at uoonclay or ntidnight, as
very enjoyable day on the boat,
From here we took the train fo
Roseland, the golden city of the Roo
tenay's.
The association was meb at Robson
by E. P. Gutelin, supt. of the 0. &
W., W. F. Anderson also, represent
they are in any city of our Domiaion.
Roseland indeed will continue to grow.
We were given a copy of the newspa-
- per "Roseland Miner,"a daily paper.
The subscription price is $1,00 per
montb, or $12.01 year. We were also
given a copy of the Kootenay Mining
- Standard, a monthly, $1.50 per month.

men had come from Roseland to bid
us welcome, The ride from Robson
to Roseland is quite interesting
Here again through this part of coun
try we note the peculiar color of wa
ters —an emerald hue.
TRU mammies.
On our way we pass the town o
Trail, This is one of the oldest settle
ments in the Kootena,y. It owes it
smelting works located there in 18
present peon:dm-ace chiefly to thelarA
and also its connection with the mine
of Rossland by a narrow guage line of
railway havingbeen taken over by the
0. P. R. Co., who have enlarged and
improved the works, With such in
creased facilities for handling ore, the
output of the Roseland camp can now
be treated at. Trail cheaply and expedi
tiously. Loaded cars from the mines
(with the exception ot Le Ron whose
output is dealt with at Northport) are
constantly being run to the smelter.
Atpresent, we were told, the capacity
of the Smelter is about 500 tons per
day. The Smelter gives steady em-
ployment to about 300 men all of
whom live in Trail.
AT BOSSLAND.
To driye from Trail to Roseland is
about four miles, by railway twelve.
From Trail the railway climbs and
climbs up the mountain -side, until at
last away above us we see a dim out-
line of the mountain, in the side which
we see, as ib were, numerous jewels.
• These we are told are Roseland lights.
We are now eager to get there. After
we get the first glimpse, it takes an
hour to reach the. city. As the train
climbs up, then switches back, then
takes another start, and so on until we
reach the mining camp. B,ossland
stands at an elevation of some 3,200
feet above sea level. We arrive at
Roseland at 8 o'clock Friday night.
We were received by the largest crowd
that had ever assembled. at the depot.
When we alighted from our train the
exclamation was "why, this is a large
place." The committee who had come
to meet us, together with the Mayor
and city Council, the local pressmen,
and the city band, lent eclat to the re-
ception. The hour being so late when
we arrived, it was impossible to ar-
range for any formal reception or
entertainment, so we all went to the
various hotels, where accommodation
had been arranged for our 'party.
After we had. dinner, which we en-
joyed very much, we went out to "do"
the city. Under the supervision of In-
spector Harp, to whom we had. been
personally introauced, we visited the
various business places, and other
points of interest. He told. us they
expected to have the street cars rui-
ning about thefirst of the year. After
seeing Roseland by night, we went to
our hotel and had a good nigbt's rest
after a tiring day, by boat and rail.
VISITING GOLD MINE- S.
Next. morning we awakened about
8.30 o'clock, but looked- out and. found
it was a very wet morning. We
thought this would put a stop to our
visiting the mines, but not so. People
here do not mind the rain like we do
hi Ontario.
Carriages had been provided for the
visitors, to take thena to the mines.
The ride up the mountain is not one of
the smoothest. The better way is to
go up on horseback, which is the usual
way. We arrive at the fatuous War
Eagle,and all alight from the carriages.
First we are taken to visit the shaft
house. We climb up to the top, by
many steps, and here we get a magnifi-
cient view of Roseland, on a fine day,
away below us. The War Eagle is
thoroughly- equipped. with an electric
plant. The whole property has under-
gone a complete change since came
into the hands of the Toronto syndi-
cate, headed by Messrs. Gooderhiem
and Blackstock.
The output, of the mines of the camp
is 5,000 tons per week. This ore will
average about $21 per ton. The Rose-
land paper gives this estimate as based
on tbe average value of the ore ex-
tracted by the War Eagle lasb year.
This would make a grand total of
$135,000 per week.
• A LARGE WORTIING l'ORCE.
We are informed that 1,400 men are
at work in the mines, a,nd that the
pay roll amounts to over $126,000 per
month. In addition to this the mines
spend about $75,000 per month for
powder, fuel and other tbings needed
in mining. After visiting the shaft
house we were sbown thretigh the tun-
nels, by Superintendeet Carlyle, of
the B. A. O., where we went down
about 250 feet. Here we have electric
light all the way. It is se bright we
can 'hardly realize that we are away
under the rock so far. We are then
taken lute a new drift, thab anoth-
er cut in the rock, where we see the
drill at work. Some of the men
thought it too venturesome for the
Mies to go in here, hut we bad seen so
mach we wanted to see the rest. The
electric light has not been ptit in here,
so we lighted our way, each carrying
eandle. We were given a piece of
ore after it had been taken out of the
rock, while vve waited. This is our
first visit to a ttininelled mine, a,nd.
gives Us an idea. of the vvonders arid
Workings of mining., Very often our
party had to step aside to make way
fax the are cars, which were coming
out with ore to be sent to the smelter.

We were also given a pin with a badge
, attached, the pin being made espe-
- cially for our party oub of seven dif-
- ferent ores, e
FOR THE CITY OP NELSON.
After we return from the mines we
f go to our various hotels for luncheon.
About 2.301n the afternoon we all as-
s sembled at the depot, all feeling very
e much. pleased with our visit of new
, experience. We DOW set out for Rob-
son where we are to take another
branch railway to Nelson.
The Nelson people,not to be outdone
by Roseland, have sent a committee
_ forward to meet the visitors and enter-
tain us to a 5 o'clock tea on the boat
crossing the river. The committee
. who were sent from Nelson dowr, to
Robson to welcome the yisitors con-
sisted of Mayor Neelands, Alderman
Beer, and Messrs. Lay Jowett and
Beaton. After the usual courtesies of
greeting were exchanged we left on
the train We ma.de stop at the
Bennington Falls, which is about 35
miles from Ro sl nd. Here there is
magnificent electric powerhouse, and.
machinery, w supplies Rosslan
mining camp with 11 the electric
power it cau possibly use. The shales
of evening had fallen before we reach-
ed the falls, yet they could hardly
have been seen to better advantage.
These falls are wonderfully pictures-
que, surpassing even Niagara in
beauty, but not in immensity.
•NELSON MINING OAIIP.
We again boarded our train and off
for Nelson at which place we arrived
shortly before o'clock Saturday
night. Here we were entertained
most royally. Every town seemed to
do better than the one we had last
visited, The advent of the Canadian
Press had excited considerable inter-
est here, and another eba,nquet was
awaiting the visitors. This was sec-
ond to none. Tables were elaborately
spread ; flowers were in profusion
everywhere ; so many differenb dishes
daintily prepared. The banquet was
held in the Opera house; which was
tastily decorated with flags and bunt-
ing. This dinner would do credit to
any city in Canada. Steiner's Orcbes-
tra supplied the music while the good
things were being discussed, and. after-
wards played appropriate airs for the
different toasts. When, the inner man
had been loolced after, the Mayor pro-
posed the toast of "The Queen." Fol-
lowing it came the toast to the Cana-
dian Parliaments, proposed by Dr.
Florin. Mr. Beaton proposed the
health of the Canadian Press Associa-
tion. Then came the toast to the
ladies. All these were duly honored,
many of our men responding to the
different toasts, expressing the plea-
sure derived from the genial hospitali-
ty of the Nelson people. • At this ban-
quet the visitors were each given a
box of ore containing nine different
specimens from the Nelson mines, a
map and pamphlet, and each lady a
beautiful souvenir spoon with the
compliments of H. 3. Evans Co. It
being Saturday night we left the ban-
quet at 12 o'clock midnight, all thor-
oughly delighted with the reception
here given. The visitors leave these
towns with impressions of B. 0. giving
us broader views and greater confid-
ence in estimating the possibilities of
the future of British Columbia. We
find Canada very mush richer than we
ever thought it. This will make a
great country in the near future, and
is the spot for an ambitious young
man seeking to establish himself.
Nelson is charmingly situated on
Kootenay lake. It being a town about
3 years old, cam boast of a population
of 7,000. It has magnificent stores,
equal to many city stores, good roads,
churches of several detiominations.
Smelting works, fire botels, private
residences and street car service. It
has a daily paper with .good subscrip-
tion list. This town being on the lake
does a big trade with other towns so
situated. The Hall mines are to Nel-
son, what the Le Roi is to Rossland—
the pioneer property. The Le Rol
in Roseland is the heaviest shipper,
but has some very formidable rivals in
the cainp,
PoETONATE DISeOvEltv.
The discovery of the Hall mines, of
Nelson, was pretty, mach the result of
an accident. Two prospectors, father
and son, named Hall, having put in a.
laborious day, set their horses loose to
browse about, while they sought repose.
Next morning they proceeded to round
up their stock, when one of the ani-
mals was found pawing at some pecu-
liar looking material. This was found
to be rich float of peacock copper ere

Nelson has several free -milling gold
mines, and 10 stamp mills. Here we
weee again pleesed to see some familiar

On Sunday we took la the churehee of
Nelson, whieh are not to be despised.
At 10 0 clock Sunday night We leave
Nelson by 'Joel, many et the citizens
corabagdowu to bid us farewell. Ross
-
land and Nelson, are two rival cities,
one trying to fr,et ahead, of tbe other.
So Nelson dicl its utmost to entertain
the visitors. ^
Monday morning Aug. 28 we arrived
at Kootenay landing, where all had
breakfast on the boat We now take
tbe train nere for the East via the
much talked of Crow's Nest Pass.
This line is of recent; construction, but
a more direct route to these mining
eegions, the journey being reduced
by nearly thirty-six hours.
The traveller from the States can
also reach Nelson via Spokane, Nelson
and Fort Sheppard, Ry., the jooreey
from Speka.ne to Nelson occupying 8
hours. Some members of CHM party,
19 of them, left Nelson Satarclay night
so as to be home on Aug. 30th, but as
there was a landslide on the Orow's
Nest Ry, were delayed, and came
steaming on ahead of us, only 3 hours.
The Crow's Nest Pass is a very fine
route, not as magnificent as the Main
Cine, but more direct to these parts
for freight and also passenger.
AT ORA.NBROGIC.
Monday about noon we arrive at
•Cranbrook, it being a principal town
on the line, and a divisional point.
The town is very prettily situated in a
valley between the Rocky and Selkirk
mountains. Oranbrook has some -very
fine mines also. Every town out in
these western parts has a good cotmcil,
and a very efficient Board of Trade.
Aet Cranbrook we were told that
dinner would be served. Many looked
after the inner man while others took
in the town. We were not expecting
to meet any friends (of weld acquain-
tance) here, and are surprised as we
saunter along to see a beaming coun-
tenance in the person of John Mann-
ing, formerly of J. P. Clarke's, Exeter,
who seems to be doing well out in this
new town ; also a Mr. Hill, brother of
Mrs, Dr. Rivers, of Crediton, who,
when hearing Exeter mentioned, made
his way through the crowd to enquire
about his friend. Here are two bro-
thers who have a very fine store, equal
to many of our eastern stores. The
prices they can get at the stores ortt
in the mining camps are surprisers to
us. Cranbrook had anticipated giv-
ng our party a banquet but as our
number had become considerably
smaller, it was decided not to accept.
A LANDSLIDE EPISODE.
After spending an hour or so at
Cranbrook we .all board our train,
steaming °Refer the east, but we are
detained for some time, when we
reach the land -slide. Here we all
alight froni our train. Bag and bag-
gage have to be taken oil also, as we
are to foot it for about a mile, over
logs, rocks, and other obstructions.
Another train on the other side of the
slide came from the east to meet us.
After arriying at the train and look-
ing.back, we see our party corning one
by one down the hill, carrying trunks,
grips, etc. It would remind one
of the pictures we see of the Chilkoot
pass on the way to Dawson city. Af-
ter -a few hours' ride we get our own
train that we left at Revelstoke, all de-
lighted to get back to our own quar-
ters once more. One of tbe ladies
screamed for joy. when she saw the
smoke -blackened streamers tbat had
distinguished our train on the out-.
ward Journey, and we all felt in the
humor to hnitate her. Tw.elve days
on the same train'when it is one of
the 0. P. Rns palatial sleepers, makes
one feel at home.
AT BRANDON.
We arrive at Brandon on Tuesday,
at 9 p. na, where we leave the party,
some of them going through by rail to
Toronto and Montreal, and others tak-
ing the boat at Port William.

" WEST HURON ELECTION.'
--
earikaaamt, TED IVISSING WITNESS, IS
STILL Al3S0NT.
Toronto. Nov. 18.—The West Huron
election case, in which the seat of the
Hon, J. T. Garrow is at stake, is to be
brought to a close For months the
trial has been adjourned at various
times, with the object of securing a
missing witness named Linklater, who
has fled the country, and who NVAS ex-
pected to throw light on the methods
pursued in the election.
This morning judges Rose and Osier
resumed the hearing. W. D. McPher-
son, for the petitioner, said he had not
been able to find the petitioner after
much searching, and did not wish km -
ger to keep the case open.
Judge Osier said there was a mistak-
en impression that the court had beeri
depending on Linklater's evidence to
enable it to come to a decision. The
reason for delay had been to secure
this "audacious witness," who was
keeping out of the way. The case
would be closed on the evidence pre-
sented.
Argument was then presented by
counsel.
Argument in the West Huron elec-
tion case was continned in Osgood.°
Hall until this afternoon, when judg-
ment was again reserved and will be
given Dec. 21.
The Binder Twine Situation.
Several weeks ago we pointed out
the marked increase in the price of
manila and sisal for the first eights
months of the present year, as compar-
ed with the prices for corresponding
periods in the years 1896 aud 1898.
While the figures fax the first half of
1898 showed comparatively little in.
crease over the prices for the preced-
ing year, a decided increase in prices
developed rather more than a year
ago, and for the past twelve months
both manila and sisal have steadily
grown dearer. The last monthly
statement of commerce and •finance
issued by the United States Bureau of
Statistics shows that on Oct. 30th the
wholesale price of manila in the
United States was 15 cents per pound
and sisal 9 cents. In August the
wholesale price of manila was 10 cents
per pound, so that in the last three
months there has been an increase of
fifty per cent. On Nov. 1st, 1897 the
wholesale prices of manila in the
United States was n cents per pound
so that in the last two years the price
has increased just 400 per cent. The
recent increase in price seems to fore-
shadow considerably higher prices for
twine next year. •
With higher prices in prospect many
farmers will naturally ask whether
something cannot be done to relieve
the situation. The United States Gov-
ernment is already moping and is ex-
perimenting on substitutes fax both
manila and sisal. But if a suitable
substitute be found much time must
necessarily elapse before it can be
brought into general use. Is it pos-
sible to take such action as will in the
m eau time reduce prices?
Some years ago the Dominion and
Ontario Governments began the mann-
facture of biuder twine in the Kingston
Penitentiary and in the Central Prison
at Toronto. But Government manu-
facture has not in recent years, at
least, had the slightest effect upon
the.maaket. The quantity of twine
made in the Government institutions
has been comparatively small, and'it
has been sold to private dealers, who
have disposed of it at the highest
prices they could secure. If Govern-
ment manufacture is continued on the
same scale next year and the product
is disposed of in the same way that
it has been disposed of in the. past
relief is notilikely to be afforded there-
by.
Some may think that with the raw
material at 15 cents per pound, Gov-
ernment manufacture, on 0037 scale,
will not mend matters. , To reduce the
price of manila seems certainly laeyoud
the power of the Government but can-
not somethingbe done to bring out
i
the facts? It s charged in some quar-
ters that there' is a combination among
the manufactneers of twine. As the
Government ere manufacturers them-
selves, and started manufactnring fax
the avowed purpose of providing twine
for the farmers at reasonable rates
would it not be well fax them to in-
vestigate the mattet and assertain
whether or not a combination exists?
If it. be 'found that the increased
price of twine is caused by combina-
tions of manufacturers, as well as by
the increased price of the raw mater-
ial, it might be well for the Govern-
inents to consider if they could nob,
by manufecturing ou a larger scale
and selling direct to the fanners, help
to ease the si Walden .--Toron to Weekly
